AutoCAD Map 3D :: Covering Sphere With 2D Design Pattern
Oct 29, 2011
I'm picking this catagory as I think it is something that has been done before with mapping flat images to a 3D sphere (globe).
The application: Mapping a pattern design onto a sphere - in this case a marble. The pattern design is in pdf format and has been manipulated so that the image fits a certain sized sphere (2") around the circumference. I'm hoping to take this 2D image and wrap around the middle of the marble in full image length and have the image diminish as it rises to the top and bottom of the marble for fitting the surface.
I have lightly researched bring in a pdf format file into AutoCad and see that it can be done. Now I need to address the technique of wrapping it around a 3D sphere.

I did it on the apple logo coverings. So make images on the sphere. Of course, I did it "Ctrl + T > Warp" Do not automatically lead? So simple action? URL...

I want to use the Pattern Stamp tool to clone a painting effect from a photograph to a new layer.
What I am finding is that the pattern is perfectly replicated on the new layer except that a thin strip of the sky is appearing at the bottom of the image. It seems like a strip of the top of the image is appearing at the bottom of the new layer version
I am selecting the whole area of the source image before defining the image as a pattern. It is not a problem of the "Aligned" setting - that is always selected.

Inventor Pro 2013 SP 1.1
I’m suing the Mould Design feature of Inventor Professional and need to have four cavities for this mould. When I try to use the pattern function nothing happens. I look at the Wiki help and it says that I have to enter values for X direction X distance etc, but this dialogue box does not appear.
How can I get the box to appear?

I am looking to do custom pattern designs using Rhinestones or Beads and I would like to use Photoshop to do it. There is a piece of software, CrystalCad, which claims to be an advanced pattern design tool, however, the guys are charging $2000 for this piece of software. I already bought Photoshop CS2 and I know it should be powerfull enough to do it.
What I want to do is take a two color design and create a pattern on which I will place 2MM Rhinestones. The obvious thing here is spacing and also the fact that the design itself has various shapes in it. I would like to convert the colors in my design into a rhinestone pattern (represented by dots in photoshop) and I would like photoshop to autofit the rhinestones (dots) based on the color. Is there a way I can do this without having to manual chick to place these dots?

I have this problem with EG covering over the cut area.
The feature line is partially under the surface making a cut.
It should be a hole where EG and the slopes meet as the image shows!
When I make an infill for the fill area it makes the the bottom of the cut area but the surface stays as a top!
It is very clear in Object viewer!

Covering with a netting. There must be an easier was, but, here is how I do it - I need to learn a better way.
1) I have photo of a large yellow pillow on top of a blue sofa. I want to apply netting over the pillow.
2) I create a "netting image" (using mspaint, really quick) large enough to cover the pillow, with 2-pixel-wide diagonal lines and white spaces in between of about 8 pixels. This file is opened under mspaint, and copied all to the clipboard.
3) In CS2, with my sofa jpg opened, I duplicate the background layer, giving me a "background.copy" layer, and I hide the original background layer.
4) I use the magic wand and quick mask brush to select the pillow, then I delete it (from background.copy)
5) I paste from the clipboard, giving me a 3rd layer (layer1) consisting of the black on white net large enough to cover the pillow - this new layer gets automatically selected.
6) I use the magic wand, with "contiguous" unticked, and select all the white spaces between the lines - then I delete these white spaces.
7) I move the background.copy layer on top of layer1 (the net layer), and I see my sofa with the pillow deleted but with the mesh showing in the deleted space where the pillow should be, but nowhere else.
8) I show the original layer "background", and the yellow pillow now appears, but the netting lines are showing over it, and nowhere else.
9) I flatten the image and its done.
Two things - this is really involved for something so simple as covering an object with a netting. And, I don't know how to bellow and squish (distort) the netting to reflect a truer picture of how it would look around the edges (the netting should be more compressed close to the edges to reflect a true 3d picture of how it would look - something like the "Sphere" option from the Dstort filter - but, for non-spherical random shapes.

How would I go about covering an image in a particular blue but not see any of the images original colors.
I tried adding a layer onto the image and chaging the fill to a lower setting but that did not work.

I am trying to use photos for our office website. the company is doing a full rebrand and one of the members is not available to do a new photo shoot so we have to use the wonderful existing ones but need to go over the old logo. I have cropped the photo out as much as I can but have not had enough luck with using the cloning tool on such a large space with a small amount of light change as it comes up looking like the bright blue wall behind us is streaky. How can I do this successfully?
I am using Photoshop Elements 11.

When I maximize an image in CS4 the image goes to full screen and covers the tool, task bars, and everything else. Is there a way to keep it from doing that? It did not do that on my CS2.

I'm trying to create a glass bottle with a cork and the "map art" function isn't working properly. I turned a cork pattern into a symbol and applied it to the top and sides of the cork (which looks excellent btw), but as you can (barely) see in the picture it's leaving a white outline around the edge of the front and back. Is there a trick to fixing this that I'm not aware of yet? I'm still pretty new with illustrator.
This isn't a full screen version of the bottle so it's nearly impossible to see the white line.

How can I make a circular pattern of a single occurence of a rectangular pattern?
A shaft has a rectangular pattern of holes (along its axis) on its surface. I want to pattern the 4th occurence of this hole pattern as a circular pattern? Can I do it in Autodesk. I can not select the a specific occurance of a patterned feature to pattern it again.

As you see in the template photo (the photo was scanned by Microsoft Security Essentials, healthy) I wanted to extrude my circle, and I made 28 pieces with circular pattern feature; now, do I have to choose all the pieces by one by to be able to choose all?
The sum of the problem: while using the Circular Pattern feature or rectangular pattern feature in Inventor, sometimes I want to extrude (join) or cut the drawings that I made (augmented) with using circular pattern feature, rectangular pattern feature. in this case do I have to choose all the augmented members one by one (for instance I make 42 augmented members), it can take a lot of time.?

Is it possible to take a feature created by a pattern and reuse it to create another pattern? I have a circular part on which I have created a linear pattern (using the rectangular pattern feature) of holes, 6 in total listed as 3 ccurrences. if we number the holes 1-6, I would like to make a circular pattern based off holes 2 and 5. I have been unable to figure out how to select the individual "occurrence" related to the hole once in the pattern feature. If I create the circular pattern first and then the linear and try to suppress the others it supresses both holes in the occurrence.

I am creating an assembly with my base part being a weldment. I've added other components that mount to my base part. Now I need to add fasteners to the mating components. I have added my first fastener and now want to pattern the said fastener using the "Pattern Component" and by using the "Feature Pattern Select" option and selecting "Associated Feature Pattern". At this point I have already selected the component that I want to pattern and selected the "Associated Feature Pattern" to select my base pattern. The only problem is that I am unable to select the pattern desired.
A note on how my Weldment was constructed -The holes were created in the "machining" step of the weldment, not in the individual part before it was placed in the weldment assembly.
If I move the hole feature and its pattern to the individual part and then place it in the weldment assembly, I can then create an "Associated Feature Pattern" in my assembly file.Why can I NOT create the associated pattern when my hole features are created in the weldment assembly? Or am I missing something?

I have an assembly which I am using as a icopy component. In the assembly I have the adaptive sketch which os used for the icopy function and a part which is adaptive to the sketch. I then have the part pattern itself in the assembly. The problem is the pattern will not update when changes are made unless I edit the pattern. The pattern references parameters from the sketch so that when the sketch changes the pattern should change. It works but the pattern will not update unless i open the pattern to edit it. Is there a vb function which will force the pattern to update when a change is made? I tried the update document vb functions but no change. I will try to get a sample together that is a smaller file size so you can see what I am talking about.

I have a sphere which I'm able to project on a sketch of smaller circles which I'd like to engrave over it's surface, yet I want each of them to be perpendicular to the surface of the sphere in each point. Emboss doesn't do the trick, it just makes the engraving perpendicular to the plane.
