CorelCAD :: Text Could Be Added Or Removed From Objects As 3D Image
Mar 2, 2013
Sometimes, we just don't know there's a better way to do stuff, and others can point it out. Perhaps we'll come up with something useful that Corel can pass back to Graebert for inclusion within ARES. :)
I'd like to see a 3D font that could be placed on objects and extruded as a solid, so that text could be added or removed from objects as a 3D image. So that a minimum width could be assigned to the font, to allow text to be added as a raised or inlaid surface to 3D designs...
I am looking for a list of brushes & custom shapes that were added or removed in the last four versions of Photoshop Elements. (v8-v11) I have already tried a Google search, which resulted in nothing. Before I spend hours making my own list, maybe Adobe has a list they can share or perhaps someone else has already taken the time to compile their own list.I am needing the information to cross reference as part of our teaching program.
There is a major bug with CorelCAD LOFT command - when used with 3D polyline objects, it fails and errors out with the following error:
Specify cross-sections in lofting order»1 found, 2 totalSpecify cross-sections in lofting order»Selected cross-section is not a valid type.
The workaround is to set the CCS to the plane of the 3D polyline object and then use 2D polylines to recreate it, move the 2D version, delete the 3D version, Align the 2D version with where the 3D version came from and then repeat the LOFT command.
Has been logged with Graebert under ticket: #12458
To repeat the error, see the test file. There are two radially aligned triangles in each set. The set on the left are 3D polyline. The set on the right are 2D polyline. Attempting to loft the set on the left will cause the error.
Both large and small triangles are respectively co-planar.
best way to export a 3D image drawn in CorelCAD, from CorelCAD into CorelDRAW? There is a "Make flat snapshot" option but when that is opened in CorelDraw it becomes distorted out of shape & doesnt have all the edges on the image anyway!
I want to have raised or indented text on a 3D object. (A block with my name in raised letters.) I can't find anything in the menus. There is a note function - any way to extrude these letters. Can I import a CorelDraw dwg and somehow make a solid object?
Goal is to create (modify) a solid and export as .STL for a 3D printer.
i'm happy to be a corelcad 2013 (V.2013.0.73) user, or a Corelcadder, but i've got a problem when i insert an image (png or jpeg) from my HD on my mac.
i can insert the image normally and everything seems to work (i see te images, i can print it...), but if i close (and save) the file, then i re-open the file, i don't see any image. I see only the path of the image...
I do a lot of CD designs, and often I have my text centered on the front covers. When I put the text centered, however, PSP is added an extra space to the end of text, so when I center it on the canvas the text is actually off-center to the left. When I go into edit the text, there is no space on the right of the words to delete.
With the text selected this is how it looks: The right edge of the frame should be flush with the right edge of the last 'T'.
Ive, ive removed the white background of an image that was a png file, how do i get that image with the white removed onto my harddrive with the transparent background intact?, i save it to my hardrive but the white keeps showing up, 8
I've been using GIMP to make GIFS for a long time now, but recently the "optimize for difference" option I've used is having the reverse effect it should have- ie, it's making the file larger. Here's an example. It's the exact same image, same dimensions, same amount of colors. The first one is unoptimized, each frame is a full picture, and it's file size it ~149kb. The second one is the same as the first, except optimized with about ~50% of the pixels removed from each frame (except the first frame obviously), and yet it's file size is ~155kb. I can not for the life of me figure out why an image with most of it's pixels removed is creating a larger file size. [URL]...
How I can easily remove objects or text from an image. Photoshop has a new feature, which easily recognizes trees or other objects and let you remove them with a click of a button. The same time the background is repairen (like the sky) in a perfect manner...I want that...
I have no MS Paint or digital photography skills at all. I have tried, but it never turns out the way I want it to, so I come to the digital photography pros for a favor.
All I need is text added to the picture.
I would like "GA VA 2006-2007" and underneath have "22-14-8". The bottom left would be the best place,
I'm designing a map in Illustrator CS5. Any way to merge 2 paths (roads) which have text attached, so they seamlessly blend together. I've tried using a compound path but this doesn't work with text added. I need to be able to easily change the roads direction/shape without having to use different layers.
there are fine lines put on the edges of thesebuildings and other object in this picture using photoshop.. i'm new to photoshop and i can't find anything inhelp about line edges.. can someone please tell me the steps fordoing this? please no technical language or photoshopconcepts.
Before I describe this problem I do want to assure you I did poke around the forum and FAQ beforehand.
My problem is that I open a new creation(RGB or Bitmap) and create a text layer. When I do this I find that the cursor is EXTREMELY tiny. The text isnt even readable on size 72. I first noticed the problem yesterday when I was trying to create a new sig with an edited image I previously created. I've never had this problem before but I am still pretty new to this. Code:
I' have an image that I've created using layers. I want to add text to the picture. But the text comes up grey and there seems to be no box for selecting the text color as there is say in word or other windows programs. I can only see a choice for font and size. I can't make a color window appear to give me a choice of colors. The only thing on the left of my window is the tools panel with the 22 tools in it. I don't seem to be able to use the color picker tool because I want white text and there is no white in my photo to pick on.
I've just started using X4 for the first time and what I'm trying to do is add text to the last frame of a gif. I got the text in and see where the colour changing tools are but for some reason even if I made everything red, the text colour still comes out completely different. It seems to be matching it to the colour scheme of the GIF itself. I just want to text to be red.
I am working with Layers, added text boxes to point out areas in a diagram. But, when I go to move the text to align it, the layer moves more than just that text. Why? There is a box around the entire picture to start with, and when I move the text on layer 2, it works. But when I go to layer 3 to move that text into place, it will move part of 2, or the original picture layer. Do I need to disable something?
When I add text and dimensions to my drawing it appears tiny on screen.What is the correct setting for text size for A4 and A3 drawings,And how do I set this?
I am writing various text insertion lisp routines. I want the computer to default to UPPERCASE before the user enters any text to ensure the text is added to the drawing as UPPERCASE text at all times.
I have several .dwg files that I use as templates. I run find and replace VBA routines on the template .dwg files, ie find $Flavor$ and replace it with "Grape", and then I save the .dwg to another directory with a new name.
These VBA routines work well for acdbText and acdbMText objects, but I have a bunch of AcdbAttributeDefinition objects in the .dwg templates as well.
After much research about the AutoCAD object model (I'm mostly a Microsoft Access VBA programmer), I have come to understand that these AcdbAttributeDefinition objects are actually "remnants" of a block that no longer exists in the drawing.
Anyway, I'd like to convert all of these orphaned AcdbAttributeDefinition objects to acdbText objects in the templates and then delete the AcdbAttributeDefinition objects. I have some code that does just that.
However, the issue that I am having with the code is that the newly created acdbText objects are not on the same layer that the original AcdbAttributeDefinition objects were on. I don't know the syntax to identify what layer the AcdbAttributeDefinition object is on or how to specify what layer on which the acdbText object is created.
how to keep the acdbText objects on the same layers as the original AcdbAttributeDefinition objects during the conversion and deletion process?
Here is the code I am using currently:
Sub AttConvert(dwg as string)Dim oDocument as AcadDocumentDim ent as AcadEntityDim aa as objectset oDocument = Documents.open(dwg) For Each ent In oDocument.ModelSpace If ent.ObjectName = "AcDbAttributeDefinition" Then' DO SOMETHING TO IDENTIFY WHAT LAYER THE ACDBATTRIBUTEDEFINITION OBJECT IS ON ' DO SOMETHING TO SPECIFY THAT THAT IS THE LAYER TO CREATE THE ACDBTEXT OBJECT ON Set aa = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddText(ent.TagString, ent.InsertionPoint, ent.Height) End If Next ent For Each ent In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace If ent.ObjectName = "AcDbAttributeDefinition" Then ent.Delete End If Next ent End Sub
Just thought I'd share some stuff that can be done with CorelCAD.
Under export, you can export a STL or STereo Lithography file. These files can be sent to a 3D printer. Sometimes, when things around the house break or go missing, a quick measure with a caliper and some fast CAD work - then a half-hour or so in the printer will produce a new part.
CorelCAD is quite useful for that kind of work.
Here's some stuff I've done with CorelCAD and an UP 3D Mini printer, which makes parts in ABS plastic - and they are quite strong... So it's great to build stuff.
First project: A clip to stop my mirror wobbling. Took about 8 minutes to design and about 8 to print.
I use CorelCAD 2013 and the software seems perfect to me. But now i realized a huge problem. I only use CAD in 2D Mode. When i make the drawings i have different Z Values in the Field "Normal Z". I don't know why CorelCad does this. I never put in a Z Value.
Is the Normal Z Value editable? When i export the Drawing to my cam system the drawing is disarranged but only all Values with different Z. Normally the value is zero but she lines are -1...?
I exported a drawing (Clipper ship drawing) from TDX5 to CorelCAD .dwg format.Here are some first findings/remarks:
1. Bezier curves are displayed as "segmented" lines - should be bezier curves or adapted splines. (My Clipper ship drawings contain hundreds of bezier curves next to B-splines).
2. Texture fills are not displayed properly, only fragments and on wrong places.
3. Hidden layers are exported and shown - there should be an option to indicate whether a hidden layer should be exported or not. Better still in CorelCAD a hidden layer should remain hidden until a "show layer" command is issued. Now you have to delete a hidden layer before exporting the drawing. (My ships drawings contain many layers, many of them often hidden).
