When I use the 'Copy with Basepoint' command from the clipboard and paste the results into another drawing, all of the grouped items become ungrouped.
Is there a way of preserving grouped geometry when copying from one drawing and pasting to another?
whether within AutoCAD or thru Autolisp or VBA, to individually edit text that has been grouped. Ungrouping and regrouping is too cumbersome. Search and replace will work, but will change all instances of text that match the search / replace criteria.

Assuming the answer will be a cone and line grouped, how can I rotate them (I seem to be able to rotate only in the xy plane).
I am extremely new at Corel Draw X5. I am in the middle of a design; page 30cmx160cm (for printing purposes) however to make it easier my design is sitting 160cmx30cm
I have started the design consisting of 200+ objects. By grouping them i presumed that it would make one object and when I rotated them 90 degrees to fit the page they would rotate in the same they sat originally.
But when I rotate the group it rotates the individual objects on their individual axis not on a group axis.
Is there anyway getting around this without moving each individual object?
I've got quite a few items grouped into a div (images, text and div boxes). However, when I scale the group on the timeline, nothing happens. I'm expecting the whole group to scale but only a blue outline box scales.
To provide some clarity, I have an image of a map with text labels and some boxes that I want to uniformly scale to simulate a pan and zoom effect. I can pan no problem, but am unable to get the content to zoom.
In cs6 if I have two objects in a group I just select one and move it. In CC it moves all of the objects in a group.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm a developer, and a lot of times, marketing companies send me some material for their applications in .psd (Photoshop) files. My usage is basic: just open these files, get some layer and export to web images. For this purpose, I bought Photoshop Elements 10, but then I realized (after bought it) that it cannot open grouped layers (only merge all layers in group in a single layer). I'll not discuss about the lack of this basic feature, we already have a lot of noise around it.
My question is: is this limitation still present on PSE 11? Or now I can open grouped layers on psd files?
How do I go about drawing many items that end up grouped?
I have:

I'm obviously going to end up with 8 of them; how do I script their such that they end up grouped once I'm done?
I have recently ran into a few issues with Photoshop CS6. When working with Layer Groups and Blend Modes.
Here is what happens:
I am working with a document and have layers grouped into a folder. All is good when I merge that group any layers that I had with a blend mode change from that mode to Normal, thus messing up the merge. Another instance where I had this issue is if I had any hidden layers that were not displayed. If the layers were merged they would be changed from hidden to displayed. Again messing up the image and the merge. Not sure what do to here.
I want to know if is it possible to create design options in a grouped project.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a collection of color groups, that I am applying to grouped objects, but every time I change out the color group, it randomizes the order which the colors are applied.
In the kind of bulk work I'm doing, its really turning into an hours burner.
The specific process I'm using (I've tried several different ways with the same result)
1) Draw my art
2) Group the art
3) Create a new color group with my art selected.
4) Double click the color group and recolor.
5) Save the swatches ----- so far so good
6) Double Click a different color group (or select from the Recolor panel) -- here the other color group (swatches) get applied, but every time I do it, the order of which color is applied to
Why can't I just highlight multiple objects and move or resize them together? This wasn't a problem in previous versions, but now when I select more than one clip (or grouped objects), the effect controls go away. I have a lower third (the title and 2 different cropped color mattes) that I want to be able to move and resize while maintaining their relationship, and I can't figure it out. I've been using Premiere for a long time, and this is a huge inconvenience. I also cannot highlight multiple clips, and adjust their length together. Sometimes it will work (rarely), but most of the time it will only adjust one at a time. It's a real nuissance when you have upwards of ten layers you need to adjust together.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to find a way to add "perspective" to grouped objects that include a bitmap and other drawn objects. I can convert everything to a bitmap in needed. What I need this for is I engrave this grouped artwork onto drinking glasses and I have to adjust the artwork for the differences in the diameter of the glass. I need to be able to set the width of the top of the artwork with a numeric value and the bottom with a different numeric value.
An example of the problem with the engraving is that if I wanted to engrave a one inch square half way down the glass I would have to make the top of the square 1.1 inches wide and the bottom of the square 1.2 inches (the math is not right with this example) so a trapezoid turns into a square once engrave on the tapered glass.
The image below shows a sample of the artwork I need to engrave. The right side image is an exaggerated example of what the artwork would need to look like to work right once engraved. I could only adjust the black ring but not the text or image in the center. The third image is to show a trapezoid.

CorelDraw_ExtendedLines.JPG
I have a time consuming problem that I was hoping a work-around or solution could be found for.
Some background: I use CorelDraw sort of as a CAD file creation software. The tool I use traces out straight, horizontal and vertical lines. At times, there are areas that need to be excluded being processed over, so my design has holes and gaps in it. The tricky part is, the tool I use needs time to accelerate up to full speed before I want it to start it's process. This requires that I add the same length to every single line in the layer (different layers need different added lengths). The problem that I run into, is that if I select multiple groups of lines that are not the same length and try to extend them, CorelDraw sees them as one group and extends the largest lines the right distance, but shorter lines get a different percentage of the distance, and gaps get shifted. I put in pictures of what I am talking about (a before, a good, and a bad).
can I select all the lines in a layer and tell CorelDraw to add X length to all of them, while keeping their center positions the same? It would save me a good deal of time.
I have problem with publishing my work in PDF. I have vector background (in thin stripes like) and several polygonal bitmap objects on it but in the PDF-file everything under the bitmap objects is bitmap also... And the stripes (of my background) are very ugly and jagged - part vector, part bitmap...
Could I complete that work correctly in CDR or have to search some other resolution?
I have a single file with couple objects on different layers. When I copy/paste into other files, the objects seem to be grouped and layer information disappeared. Can I move around objects with layer setting as well?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on my present computer, I said yes to preserving the old presets. But how will this work on a new computer? And, in fact, all of my versions of Photoshop going back I can't recall how far have been upgrades. How is this handled with a new computer? I have the CS3, CS5 and CS6 installation disks. I am not sure about the older versions. So, two questions here: 1. How is the CS6 installation handled if all I've had for the past who-knows-how-long is upgrades. I started with one of the very first Photoshops. And 2.

I have used a template in Photoshop CS2 to create a DVD/CD Cover and I have an issue saving the image for upload at the correct dimensions.
This is what I have - CD cover @ 4.75 x 4.75 inch with 300dpi. This gives me an image with a resolution of around 3000 x 3000 pixels.(approx)
There is no problem printing from PS as the dimensions in Inches is the default print size. The problem comes when I export the image as a JPEG ready for upload and sharing. It seems the pixel resolution becomes the default size settings. This will give the end users problems in printing at the correct size for their CD cases.
I, can get round this as my printer allows me to 'print at the original size' which defaults back to the size set in Inches but I don't think everyone has this option.
Is there any way to ensure that the end user will d/l or save the uploaded image at the correct size so that they will not have to do anything other than print it?
The last thing a want to do is make it a difficult thing for them to obtain.
FYI - I would like to keep the dpi resolution if possible as there is a lot going on and this might be lost if the quality is reduced.
I have a couple of logos that I need to "archive" and catalog in the following formats:
.tif
.eps
These logos were done in PSCS and are now in the .psd format - they contain a number of layers including a base transparent layer.
The question is can I preserve the transparency within the 2 above mentioned formats? If so how? I made a few attempts at it with each format but came up with a background color each time.
How can I preserve my colors so that when I export them to images, they are as close to the colors as I see them as when I view them in a browser?
Right now I'm using:

I have a hi-rez figure that I'd like to lower the polygons on. I was wondering if it's possible to reduce the polycount on the character without destroying the rig.
I read somewhere that Optimizer would work for this. I this true? Is there another way to do it or will I have to rerig it?
Also, is it possible to preserve morphs as well? I know some of the points change so I can understand if it's not.
EDIT: It appears it doesn't work right off the bat. Is there a simple way to update the bone envelopes to the new geometry or do I have to reskin the entire mesh manually? (Seeing this, I know morphs will no longer work."

Shift-dragging centers it, but I have multiple documents (pngs with transparency) of the same dimensions and layers in a variety of positions that need to be preserved (I'm composting some 3d renders). Is this possible?
