AutoCad :: How To Dim Or Change Opacity Of Drawn Line
Oct 13, 2010
I was wondering is there an option where you can dim or change the opacity of a drawn line? Similar to when you can change the linetype and linewieght, is there a precentage that allows to dim lines? Like when you insert .pdf plans as underlay, and you can actualy reduce the opacity. So that when you plot the plan drawing, some lines look solid black, but some are almost impossible to see? Or should I just change the colour of the line to light gray?

I am making a conatct sheet of photos. I wanted to define the outside edge of the photos, so I used the Rectangular Marquee to draw an outline around the perimeter, and then I went to Edit>Stroke (Outline) Selection. I chose the weight of the line (I made it 3 pix) and successfully had the outline. I then saved the file.
But now I want to change the weight of the line (down to 1 pix). But I can't figure out how to delete the 3 pix line.

I am using illustrator for doing some calligraphy and I am not really experienced with this program. I am using a mouse pen with pressure to draw/write calligraphies. My question is, can I change the pressure amount after I drew lines using brush tool. Let’s say I drew a line, it is good but still not satisfactory. I just want to do a little change in pressure amount in some segments –not all the line- on line. Does illustrator give me this option?

Is it possible to compress a line or object drawn on top of another line or object to create one object?
I import my AutoCAD 2011 drawings into a CNC however the software isn't happy if a line is drawn on top of another line. If this happens it is not obvious simply by looking at the drawing and I have to go through the drawing checking each and every line which can be quite time consuming.

I have existing drawings that I copy and manipulate into new ones. I have a drawing of a conveyor line that has some segments "highlighted" with a yellow hatch that appears to follow a single line. The conveyor layout has been changed. So I need to update the drawing for the new layout. I'm wondering how this was drawn. I cannot explode the hatch to copy parts of it. I'm thinking there was probably a simple way to get the hatch to follow the drawn line. Putting boundaries around the drawn line to hatch in would be rather time consuming. Is there a simple function I don't know about?

Any one deal with lines that appear to the right of each line that is drawn? For example if I draw a vertical line I get a line at the start point and the end point that display off to the right 2 cm or so. Zoomed in or out, always about 2 cm. After about 15 minutes, every line does this. Pretty bothersome. I thought it was a graphics card but the blocks in my drawings go off to the right in which they were created. So if the block is rotated, these little 'tails' rotate with it.
I tried some troubleshooting - Reinstalling/updating graphics card driver, switching monitors, but no luck.
I have 8gb of ram on a windows 7 Bit system, and have an Autodesk/AutoCAD certified graphics card - an AMD FirePro 3900 (ATI FireGL). You'd think that this 'certification' would prevent problems like this. What do I know.
On a side note, Draw Order > send to back/send to front does not appear to work either on my display.

I have a user that when he draws the first line he does not see it until the second line or other action is taken. Photoshop is similar to this when drawing lines. Is there a setting to change that in the command line?

I have pieced this lisp together from a few I have come across here in the groups, but am now stuck with the final pieces. Once the pline is drawn I would like the lisp routine to select the pline (last ?) instead of the user doing so. I would then like to offset the line 1 (foot) and then erase the original line drawn, so the user does not have to.

I recently got a new drawing tablet (Monoprice Graphics Tablet) and i set up everything perfectly fine. However, i opened photoshop cs6 and when i draw, there would be an extra line. when i draw a semi circle, it automatically completes the gap with a straight line when i lift the pen up or stop drawing and it's really bothering me.
Here is a gif that i made to demonstrate what i mean: (click if it doesn't move)also... my lines appear to be sort of jittery or non-smooth. even my mouse looks smoother than when i use my pen..

I have a cartoon line drawing. The black outlines are anti aliased so the edges of the lines have different grades of gray pixels on them. When I use the fill tool, and adjust the fill with the opacity and tolerance sliders, (I think that's what they're called in GIMP), I still can't get what I want. Only some of the gray pixels are colored in. Others are canceled out. Completely covered by the color, erasing some of the line.
Or some pixels remain uncolored. Just gray instead of a combination of the gray AND the fill color. What I'm looking for is an effect that looks like I placed a colored gel shaped like the cartoon character over the drawing. All the different shades of gray pixels should still be seen. Even the ones that are lighter than the fill color. With a gel, those pixels would appear darker, even though they were lighter than the fill color without the gel over them. The darkness of the color PLUS the added darkness of even the lightest gray pixels should make all the pixels appear darker. And the line would appear complete. Not partially erased.
Is it at all possible to get this effect?

I know this is a very simple task, but in Fireworks, after you draw a rectangle with the rectangle tool, all you have to do to change the dimensions of it is to go down to the Properties box and change them.

So I am basically a brand new user to ai-cs6 and have been working on a project for a friend. I've drawn up the basic components of the logo she wants, all separate individual pieces. My intention is/was to trace in each piece, and scale, rotate, and clean them up according to how the final piece should look. Where I'm running into trouble is that the sketches are not point perfect, meaning there's some shading in the hand drawn, and the lines are rough in areas. I'm trying to avoid redrawing the pieces because we both are really happy with where they're at.
What I'd like to do with ai-cs6. How to trace very simply a one line vector of the outline of the image. So instead of creating a piece that has stroke straight from the scanned in artwork, I get a single line, with multiple points, that flows the simple shape of the piece. From there it seems it would be pretty simple to just increase the stroke weight and modify the style of line to make it look how we would like. except that since the sketch has some rough line sections ai-cs6 is adding either a lot of detail and making it look pretty rough, or it's missing entire sections and leaving them blank.

I'm a Model Railroader, as the screen name implies. "RRArtist" RailRoad Artist. Anyway, I have a MoPar garage, planned, I have this 3D model, built, I'm merely working on a sign, that is based off I think the 1950's.....This sign, will depict my interests in MoPar, a "Hemi", and the classy girls used back in the day, as part of the sign, AND will be lighted......SO, in 1/87th to the foot scale (Pretty small) its nearly impossible to get a "Hemi" motor, and be able to see that it is a Hemi! SO, my plan, is to take a 1:25th scale Hemi motor, and mount it to a sign pole, that's a pipe, to carry wires for lighting. Then UNDER this sign, will be a girl, that looks as tho, she is holding up a sign that says "Hemi" in the old "MoPar" signage.....UNDER her will be this Hemi Motor.....BUT the lighting is the fun part as the "lamp shades. will be CHROMED Hemi Valve Covers.....With the motor itself, painted orange, with black valve covers.....
Now this girl on the sign, is the issue.............. The girl is actually a blonde.....(don't ask LOL) I need to change her hair color... to red! Problem is? The clothing shes wearing, a short skirt, or short shorts, that are also...........RED.... so, it leaves way to much "red" for the sign......Looks good as is, don't get me wrong, BUT, if I can replace her blonde hair with red hair, to match the "looks" of the image, to be "believable" is GREAT, BUT I want to remove the red from her clothing, and make it Hemi Orange.......... trimmed in black with the silverish looks it already has, blended into the red as you will see...
This whole project is going on a display I'm adding to my layout for looks for when I run trains and to show my other interest.......... old MoPar muscle cars that were Hemi with a garage to repair them, from back in the day......Trying to make all the colors fall into place is my issue!

It used to be that if I took, for example, a flattened image, and I duplicated it as a new layer (cmd-J), inverted it, and set to 50% opacity, it more or less cancelled to a flat grey. This is how it was from photoshop 3 through CS5. I just noticed that is not the behavior in 13.0.4, rather fill acts as opacity used to, while opacity now solarizes. Is this a bug or is there some reason for the change?

Image is 800px x 150px, i want to change the opacity in the top left of the image for a rectangular section of 300px x 50px.
So i thought i would highlight the section(300px x 50px) with the rectanglar marquee tool, which gives a dotted rectangle, now i thought by changing the opacity slider over on the right side in the layers palet then this would work, but instead the opcaity for the whole image is still changed, how do i have only the section i want to change the opcaity for?

When running an action, I click in the opacity box and change it to 65.
Yet in the action I see a step for changing to 6 and then for 65.
It really seems to be touchy. What is the exacty keystroke to get in that box?

Opacity is shown along with Diameter and Hardness, when Alt - Right click is done while using a round brush (in this case, with the Dodge tool).I guess it's late, but I don't sense a gesture that causes the Opacity to change in this mode. I tried all the modifier keys and moving the mouse every which way. I even tried the scroll wheel, but couldn't get the Opacity to change.
How do I change the Opacity (besides the old traditional way)?

where i cant see the opacity( you know like 100% and so on) its the same with audio level, position, scale etc. here's a print screen of it [URL]
The reson why it dissapeared is because when i pressed L-L on my keyboard to show the audio waves, but instead i must have pressed something wrong or maybe the layer the layer want selected.

I have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor. When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display. If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear. I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.

I was trying painting with gimp and there is a shortcut in gimp to change the size of the brush/opacity my moving the stylus like you can on photoshop or sketchbook pro.
ALT+ctrl on a mac
This would be an incredible time-saver for us artists and not very complex. If not I will suggest this feature to the gimo developers.

It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.
