Any good script that allows you to align multiple objects to a line? I've found the ALIGNIT.lsp, but it's not working in Autocad 2012.
It's like this:
I have a horizontal line. Above it, there are +200 objects. They are aligned in the right rotation already, but I just want to move all the objects lower line to my horizontal line.
How can I align objects which are in a curve to a straight line? I thought I already knew the answer to this but when I tried I could not get it done.
I have about 1000 objects that I need aligning in this way (see attached image).

When I have made a logo and there's mutiple parts and I want to center it, it messes all the parts up. How do I center it while keeping the shape without combining it all? Example in photo: [URL]

Question - Are you the Common Denominator?
I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).
; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)
[Code]....
However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?
Is there a way to align more than 2 objects either horizontally or vertically? I've used the ALIGN command and I can't get it to work. I get a message that says something like: "all 3 destination points are colinear".
I can get it to work if I'm just aligning two objects.
For instance, say you have four boxes, scattered around model space, and you want to align the left edge of three of them to the left edge of the fourth box, without moving them vertically. In other words, can you "left justify" all four boxes?
Lisp routine or macro that will either rotate or align selected objects so they are parallel to an axis on the current UCS?
Specifically, when placing mtext to label an object. I typically align my ucs to the object then create the text so it is parallel to the object. It would be great if I could create the text with a rotation of 0, align my ucs to the object to be labeled and then with a single click, select the text making it parallel to the X axis.
I am trying to make a label for a line at a N 87d E angle, I want the text to be the same angle as the line. How do I do that?

I have an i Assembly with 7 distinct members. I have a parts list displayed next to each member. I had no problem getting the views to align, but am running into a wall with getting the Parts Lists aligned (other than just eyeballing it).
I would like to make a block with 2 points and I would like them to follow a line with those 2 points..
Same as you can use the measure command to put blocks on a line with a pitch distance I would like to do the same but the block schould snap with 2 points on the line.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have done a completely clean install of Creative Cloud CS6 on my mac on Mountain Lion. First time opening Illustrator, and I cannot center two vector objects on each other. Rather, when I click to center them (vertically or horizontally) it actually pushes them further apart! It also appears to be arbitrarily selecting another object on my art board when I select these two (there is no grouping overlap, it makes no sense). I've looked around before, and have 'align to selection' checked, and 'snap to grid/snap to point' unchecked in the 'view' dropdown. Going to try to trash my preferences, but this is literally the first time I've opened it, so I can't see how that would be an issue!
I use this tool CONSTANTLY in what I do, so this is really troubling.
I have one layout. On that layout I want to have 2 viewports. I also have ssay block A and block B I want to insert.I would like Viewport1 to display block A and viewport 2 to display block B.
What happens to me is when I created Viewport 1 and inserted block A. I go on to create viewport 2. But viewport 2 displays only block A, which I cannon delete to insert block B.
Basically I want to duplicate an object along a spline. Sure there's the spacing tool, but listen what the problem is. I want to keep it parametric so that I can pick the path, duplicate the object along it, tweak the distance between the clones, vary the size of the clones, and possibly animate them.
Workaround I've tried:
1- pFlow, not handy / not the actual solution I'm looking for.
2 - Railclone: the lite version works fine, but it works only with flat splines (i.e. moving the points on the z doesn't affect the duplication).
3 - Path Constraint: it's ok, but to make it work I had first to constraint the single mesh, then array it. After the last step there's no other control over the cloned meshes.
4 - Path Deform: it's the closest solution, unfortunately the mesh can get annoying distortions, haven't found a way to avoid them.
How do I align objects 1/8" apart. Illustrator wants to round .125" up to .13" I have a die cut to make and it's throwing off my alignment
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is possible at all in Illustrator, but I want to align objects to text paths. Look at the following example.
I start with something like a circular hierarchy, that I get as an output from another program. These are only lines and text. Now I want to add a flag behind the text. This flag should have the same orientation as the text path.
As this hierarchy is actually pretty big (this is only a snippet), I don't want to rotate all the flags manually. I tried to do it manually with the below example, but it still doesn't looks right...
Is this a proper method to rotate the flags according to the orientation of the text paths in Illustrator?
Say I have a group that consists solely of five triangles. Is it possible to use simultaneously align or distribute functions on while selecting just those five triangles? It seems like I can align up to four triangles at a time within the group, but when I select all five Illustrator interprets that I'm trying to align the entire group with another object outside of that group. Key objects don't seem to be supported in this situation.

is this correct or is it possible to select a 'grid' of objects and have them evenly aligned & distributed?
I have problems with Photopaint Align and distribute. Many times I want to fast select 2 objects and align them and dont want to search them in hundred object list on object docker.
The problem is how to align center white text in blue box? I dont want to move blue box just center text in it. And do not use objects docker to do it.

I have a path that's coming out from an arbitrary angle, and I want a star at the end of the line, but perfectly centered so that the line bisects one of its inner arrows, if that makes sense.

If I continue to try to move it to align, it jumps to the other side or back to where it was but will mot match the intersection.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I mean is that say you have layers I and I that are positioned next to each other so they look like "II". You want to center them in relation to some selected space so that they still look like "II" and not "I".
Do you see what I'm saying?
Is there a way to center them so that they're still in the same configuration relative to each other instead of centering them so that they both get layered on top of each other in the centering? Maybe by linking them or some other way?
I want to have those colored lines perfectly aligned and spaced with the same width between them all.
