Development env. is VS2008 and Ai CS5 SDK.
I want to know how I can resize the width/ length of a art?
I went through APIs and got some useful suite like AITransformArtSuite. But I am unable to use it's method TransformArt. since I don't know how to create appropriate AIRealMatrix.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been needing to use the 3D feature in photoshop and when I have come round to it the feature doesnt seem to work. I have tried updating, but the update link in Photoshop is greyed out. I have version 14.0. My laptop is what I'm using now but it doesnt work on my desktop machine either. This is my laptops system info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 14.0 (14.0 20130423.r.221 2013/04/23:23:00:00) x32
Operating System: Windows 7 32-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
[Code].....
I have been reading around the internet and I have gathered it may be to do with me not being able to update my photoshop or me not being able to turn on OpenGL, which I managed to do on my desktop but still, no luck.
I have changed the preference in Adobe Creative Cloud panel to English with Arabic and InDesign CC still does not have the right to left capabilities in the paragraph panel.
Do I need to uninstall and then reinstall? I have checked my copy of Photoshop and Illustrator and they are fine.
Does Gimp offer an interface (dll) which will allow me to access it capabilities through java or c++?

But once I made my own changes to the resume template, as seen below I kept getting the "I keep getting the error "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF)" whenever I save my file as a Photoshop PDF.

How to select a part of an image for masking based on either color saturation or hue or a certain color (not RGB value but rather a color group), so that I can transform the selection to the Alpha channel.
For example, if I have a photo of a red car on a multi-color, complex background where there are NO other red colors exist on the picture, other than the body of the car, then such selection (that I need help with) suppose to select all shades of red on the photo, which is only the body of the car.
I need to create a PNG file where certain part of an image (like a body of that car) would be gray-scale alpha channel, so that by placing the image file on colored background - that would simply paint the car into another color.

Does the trial version provide full 3d tool capabilities? Before downloading over 800 MB and using even more space for installation, it would be great to know! :P
(I am only intererested in upgrading from CS3 for the ability to paint 3d models).
I searched Adobe's site extensively to see if the trial has "full" features or limitations, but it mentions neither.
I have three (and a half-follow-on) questions on DNG nuances/technical particulars (that are prompted by remarks appearing on the last-updated-about-two-years-ago webpage URL...
First, what (If any) image processing capabilities (such as any further highlight recovery/adjustment, or individual color channel enhancement/ saturation improvement, etc.) are unavailable in Lightroom (LR) or Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) if one opens-with/inputs-or-imports-to LR (or ACR), a Linear DNG (linDNG) image file (which by its ‘linearized’ nature has already had certain image attributes ‘baked’ therein), and what image processing capabilities are fully available in LR/ACR for such a linDNG image in an unrestricted/fully-further-adjustable manner?
Second, is the output file produced by Adobe’s DNG converter when one inputs to it (say) a Nikon NEF raw-image file a (what I refer to as) Raw DNG (rawDNG, akin to those that some camera manufacturers’ cameras are now directly storing on memory cards at image capture), or a linDNG (akin to those produced by various RAW converters such as DxO Optics Pro and Capture One Pro)? If the former, is it possible to apply Adobe’s DNG converter to a linDNG input file (and thereby, effectively, ‘unbake’ whatever settings had earlier been ‘baked’ into that linDNG so that the resulting rawDNG would be once more ENTIRELY/UNRESTRICTEDLY further adjustable in LR/ACR?
Third, if one uses either LR or ACR to open/access/edit a linDNG image file, performs some non-destructive image adjustments on that image with that software platform, and saves the results as a new/differently-named DNG file, will that resulting new DNG file be yet another linDNG-format file, or a rawDNG-format file?

It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.
I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a titleblock to look at and one of his layers for the lines that made up the bounderies of the titleblock, was placed on the "XID" layer. It was interesting to see that the lines had the properties of Polyline, although to my eyes it looked like a line segment.
what XID stands for in this case?
I have some problem with import SDF to dwg. Geometry in SDF is curve with mixed linear and arc segments.
But the result is not my expected result. (see image below) . All arc segments was imported not correctly.

When I make connection through FDO it's work ok.
I've been attempting to use the GEOMAP command to bring satellite imagery into one of my maps. I have followed theses steps:
1. Signed into my Autodesk360 account.
2. Assigned a coordinate system (SC83F) to my map.
3. Entered the GEO MAP command and selected "A" for aerial image.
Following these steps, I am unable to display the aerial imagery.
I've created system printers for our office using the "Add Plotter" application of AC. I've filtered paper sizes for the different printers. However, these filtered paper sizes are not the same for all workstations.

How to make PDF's which were made out of DWG"s less vague?
Same lines can come out looking good or vague. Sometime part of blocks appear vague while the other side appear good.
Using 2013, I have a drawing created in that other software ( Micro station). I opened it in autocad, and did some work to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a batch routine that plots PDF’s of a list of drawings. Everything is working ok. It opens the drawing, turns on and off layers, and then plots to PDF. The plots come out fine, but after each plot, it opens the PDF. This would not be a problem for one or two drawings, but when doing a few hundred, it becomes quite frustrating.
I can see how to change this using the plot dialogue box, selecting DWG To PDF.pc3 and editing the custom properties. But no matter how many times I change it does not save, and will open the PDF.
I have found a work around by killing the process Acrobat.exe at the end of the plot. But is there a better way of doing this?
we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
I cannot seem to set the MdiActiveDocument synchronously.
I have code inside a <CommandMethod> that creates a drawing and then writes any error information to the command line. Since this is started in one document, if a fatal error occurs and the drawing does not get created, that message goes to the original document's command line.
In the case where a drawing gets created with errors (say partial success), I would like the errors to appear in the new drawing (new active document's) command line.
The behavior when setting Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument is peculiar. The application can hang for a long time if you do not click anything. If you click the document (from the taskbar or clicking on the window), it breaks out of the hang and continues to execute, but the active document is not changed. The MdiActiveDocument still points to the original document. You can also see that it does not change because doc.IsActive = False. This state could be because when you clicked, you really did make the original document active (again? still?). To break the hang, I think the click has to be on the original document.
On an example like [URL] ... there is no action taken after MdiActiveDocument is set, so I assume that it is actually set when the command is completed, not synchronously. I am not absolutely certain of this, though.
<CommandMethod("AUTODRAWPN")> _
Public Sub DrawPartNumber()
Dim ed As Editor = Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
If IsNothing(drwr) Then
[Code] .......
Is there a way to set the MDIActiveDocument? Should it be hanging like this? Should I be looking at an altogether different way to handle this?
Trying to use doc.Editor without setting the active causes a eNotApplicable error, so that is not a way out.
I am using AutoCAD 2013. The following link implies that this could be a 2013 specific problem, but I do not know that for sure. [URL] .....
