For some reason unbeknownst to me, my pickbox (and my crosshair aperture) has changed to a rectangle instead of the usual square. My resolution and screen size is all fine, and I've not changed anything in my settings.
Can I make a pyramid has a rectangular base instead of a square?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is a very old project and even with more knowledge in 3D, still unable to do it. I have a stool with incline legs using the LOFT command (Extrude with Path can also do it). Now I need to add a tranverse section. I wanted to have the tranverse section same dimension as the leg.
Given the inclination of the leg, it is impossible and futile to align ucs using 3 points or face because there is no 90 deg between the two edges. Further more given there is no extrude to face as in inventor, it is sound difficult to extrude between the "/" form and the "" form of the two legs.
D problem? On geometry, is there a rule to adapt here with respect to section dimension?
I'm new to Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 and to graphics in general.
In layman's terms I would like to know how this programme can auto detect a foreground image (any non-square/non-rectangular image), select it and then delete everything else around it.
Whatever is deleted around it needs to be transparent, not white, so that I can copy and paste the sole foreground image into Powerpoint so that the image doesn't end up with a square white background around it (especially when my Powerpoint template has a non white background).
I'm not working with finnicky images or detailed photos. They're mostly two colour stock images like black silhouettes of people against white backgrounds, so I thought that kind of image would be relatively easy to 'smart select' and separate from the contrasting background colour.
Can this Xara programme do this for me? If not, is there any other basic and cost effective programmes that can do this for me? It's literally the only editing function I need in a graphics programme.
I have 6 rectangular photos and I'd like to put each of them on 6 square white backgrounds and then save the resulting images (it's for posting on Instagram - it's crazy that they don't allow you to post rectangles, but there you go). What would the most time-efficient way of doing this be?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I am constantly making frames in photoshop for use in the video world (ie. They will be on TV) the pixels need to be rectangular (or 4x3) in aspect and not square.
I know in programs like After Effects and Combustion you can set when saving an image whether or not it is square or rectangular pixels.
How do I do this in Photoshop if it can be done?
I have set my drawing background color to a pale beige because it's easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, when I am using Isometric Snap the pickbox in the pointer is all but invisible (being white).
I have searched the Drawing Window Colors dialog without success. How to set the pickbox color?

I am using a pdf underlay to trace over and whenever the crosshair or pickbox enters a white area it does not shift color to black to remain visible. This leaves me picking randomly trying to guess where the crosshair or pickbox is. If I change the 3dconfig to disable hardware acceleration, the color shifts, but the pdf is whited out. Not to mention the fact that by disabling hardware acceleration, I'm wasting the expensive video card on the machine. Is there a workaround? updated driver? service pack?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been having a problem with making a text box in photoshop.. Everything used to work okay but now the text is REALLY small when I type in the box.. Like you can barely see it. If I make it 400 font it looks finally visible but barely...
Its the same thing no matter which font I choose. My document size is only 1000x500 so its really weird.. Plus I didn't have this problem before, but now I do, everytime photoshop loads its the same thing. How do I fix this strange issue?
why when I select my object, the bounding box is orange rather than the usual white?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop Elements 8 and just recently it changed a bit. When on the active tab (any tab) the background outside my working space is completely black instead it's usual gray. I don't know how it happened but I would like it back to normal. I've attached my screenshot below.

I'm using CS3 with a new computer and a 17in crt monitor. I set the monitor resolution via windows to 1280x1024. Made a 4 in square in Photoshop. It's square. When I change the resolution to anything less than 1280x1024 the square is taller than wide. It still shows 4x4 inches with the rulers.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was working in AutoCAD LT and wanted to report on the number of items in a rectangular array, but cannot seem to find such a variable. In the polar and path arrays there is an object count, but don't seem to be able to find the same field for the rect. array. There must be some field for it, because when I shift over to standard AutoCAD I can get the information from the Data Extraction tool.

View 8 Replies View RelatedCan an equation be used to calculate equal distances when using the rectangular pattern.Regarding the attached .ipt file i would like to place 25 holes in the X direction with equal gap size between each hole.Also how to calculate the number of holes in the Y direction again with equal distance between each hole.I have not done this before with equations but was thinking that i would need to use the Length x Width in the equation.Do i need to add figures into the Parameters box also?
The attached file with the Hole feature the sketch is not constrained for the purpose of using an equation so i know how far from the start of the part to get equal distances between each hole to the end of the part .
regarding obtaining the dimensions of a simple retangular prism?
In this particular case (file attached) the geometry was imported from Revit, so it's really just imported SAT file. After importing, "Make components" was run to generate individual part files. The resulting part is therefore created using the origin of the parent assembly, so although it's "just a box" - it is spatially displaced and oriented at an unknown angle.
I'm looking for a way to identify the 3 dimensions that define the shape of the prism.
I am using Inventor 2012. I have a horizontal feature that terminates at a vertical plane on one end and an angled plane at the other end. I want to pattern it down but when I use Adjust, the patterned features do not adjust to the angled plane. They just go strait down from the first feature.
Does Adjust only work if the terminator is a solid surface instead of a plane?
I am having a problem with an iPart. I created a rectangular patern in an iPart. When I place the member of the iPart in the Assembly file the pattern is not there. I need it to constrain another part to it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to model a multi cavity mould tool. The cavities themselves do not follow either a circular or rectangular pattern.I have modelled one of the cavities using a revolve internal to the tool. I have also sketched out on the upper surface centre points where I need the cavities to be.
I was hoping I would be able to copy the cavity feature, select a base point and then use the centres from my second sketch to place the cavities.
I don't seem to be able to find this option. The copy and paste feature will likely work but it is hugely long winded positioning each cavity individually. Any method I might be able to use to model such a part?
Looking for some sample code for patterning a hole in a part using Inventor 2010. I dont need it to be selected because it is the only hole i have in the part. My main trouble is that I am having trouble withobjectcollection idea. As you can guess I am a newbie at Inventors API.

Here is my code so far (Circular Array).
