Jul 5, 2012I am having a file which has lot of texts. Actually the texts are in outline format as fills,strokes,etc. Is it possible to convert them to an editable text using any option.

Illustrator :: Can't Paste Text Nor Paths And Text
Feb 22, 2014I have a layer with some paths and lines of text. I copied some of the paths and text and tried to paste in another layer or document; the paths are not pasted and all the text becomes a single line. When I copied only the paths, it is pasted correctly. If I copied only the text and tried to paste in another layer or document, all the text becomes a single line.
If I drag the selection from one layer to another using the panel, it works. If I drag the selection from the artboard to another document, it works. But these operations sometimes are not convenient. What I would like is to copy the items, target a layer in another document and paste there. With a large document with dozens of layers and a lot of text the drag and drop solution is not feasible.
Illustrator :: Align Objects To Text Paths?
Nov 26, 2012I 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?
Illustrator :: Why Are Text Boxes Acting Like Paths
Sep 26, 2013I'm using AI CS6, opened it up today and all the text boxes are behaving like paths. I can only resize them using the direct select tool. I don't know what happened, I've checked type preferences, nothing there seems to be odd.
I would attach a screenshot, but the "Insert Image" button brings up a white box that tells me the "Operation timed out." Not my day for software.
Basically, once I create a text box, I lose the ability to resize it unless I manipulate one corner at a time with the direct selection tool.

Illustrator :: Creating Threaded Text With Rainbow Paths
Jun 30, 2012I'm having issues with threaded text. I've created my desired paths for threaded text, essentially a rainbow, that aligns with my package design. When I create threaded text it behaves wierdly. The following occurs:
1) creating threaded text with my rainbow paths, it creates the paths upside down. I've figured out how to rememdy this with the path options, but wish it didn't default to upside down.
2) My path layers for each row are in decending order, i.e. - would like text to cascade top to bottom; however, when I start typing, it uses the bottom line first causing my paragraph to read from bottom to top. This is incredibly frustrating!
Illustrator :: Giving Text Outline Stroke And Path And Uniting With Other Paths
Jan 13, 2014How do I give Lucida handwriting a 2pt outline stroke, give it an outline path, then unite it with another shape path without the text losing it's outline stroke?? I can't bold Lucida handwriting as it only has an italic option, so need to give it an outline stroke to achieve a bold letter. As soon as I give it an outline path and unite it to other shape paths the 'bold'ness disappears and it reverts to it's original size.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Hanging Text From Paths
Nov 10, 2006There is probably a simple fix for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. So I created a circular path, and over the top I wrote "Satisfaction" now under the bottom I want it to read "Guaranteed" .... but the text will not hang from the path and read from left to right...it will only write upside down from right to left, or you can flip it so that it's inside the circle reading from left to right...but i want the top of the text to align with the outside of the circular path.

Aug 8, 2009I typed the word "Ethos" and wanted to extend the bottom of the 't' to run along the underside of the word. To do this I created a new work path. I then manipulated the 't' to get it to the shape I wanted... what I'm struggling with now is how to apply this change in shape to the text.
At the moment I have my text that says Ethos, and I have my path that says Ethos but with the extended 't'. How do I apply the change in shape to the 't' to the actual text?
GIMP :: Positioning Text Along Paths
Aug 24, 2012I've worked out how to use paths, so I can make text appear along a curve which is great. My problem is that I have a logo and I want text curving around the top of it, and then some text curving around the bottom (curving upwards). There is more text on the top curve so it fills the entire path, but the text at the bottom is shorter and so it doesn't reach the end, it justifies to the left of the path. How do I position it so that it aligned to the centre of the path (it doesn't necessarily have to take up the entire length of the path, I just want it to be central to the logo above it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Limit Amount Of Paths Can Create And Add Text
Jul 24, 2012I have a few different problems with the pen tool.
1. When using the pen tool I keep finding that the shape I'm doing is slightly overlapping where I've already gone with the pen tool.If I try and go over that area again the path I've just drawn then jumps and ruins the shape I was creating.
How can I stop this from happening?
2. Also is there a limit to the amount of paths you can create and add text to? I created two paths and typed on them fine but when I added a third path it refused to type. The cursor didn't change to show I could type and if I did click on the path line and try to type jumped to my other path and typed there. All paths were on different layers and none were overlapping, but it is 3 circles inside each other that get smaller if this makes a difference.
How can I type on the third path?
3. When I have done a path and clicked stroke it is only a thin line. How can I make this line thicker?
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Locking Text On Paths
Aug 4, 2011Is it possible to lock text when it is on a path? I'm fine with locking both the text and the path, but it seems it isn't possible. Not to lock just the text or both the text and path. The option is greyed out. What purpose would not being able to lock an object serve?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: How To Set Transparency For New Paths
Nov 8, 2013I trace a lot of line drawings in my work to add regions of color or to create a layered watercolor effect.
In previous versions on Illustrator (I currently use CS6 but I think CS5 worked the way I liked) I could set the opacity to whatever I wanted and new pencil or pen objects would be trasparent as I drew them. Now my paths are opaque no matter what my setting in the transparency menu and it's impossible to see what I'm tracing.
I used to be very productive drawing blobs of color and overlaying quickly for a nice watercolor effect, but now I have to draw a blob, select it and set it's opacity, then draw my next blob and do the same thing. Very time consuming and not good for quick evaluation of whether or not my image is looking good.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: How To Unmerge Connected Paths In CS5
May 12, 2013I was wondering if there was a way to 'unmerge' a group of connected paths. The thing is whenever I click on one of the ovals, it selects a whole group of ovals instead of just the one I selected. The problem is that I drew an oval, copied it multiple times until I made a pile out of it, then copied that pile and made other piles. So whenever I click on one of the ovals, it selects the entire pile. Is there a way I can 'unmerge' or ungroup all the paths so I can select just one of the ovals? I'm not doing this so I can copy them again, I'm trying to delete them individually but I really can't.

Illustrator :: Moving Paths In Layers
Jan 25, 2013I have selected paths on the artboard and would like to be able to move them into one layer.
As there are a large number is there anyway of moving them to a new layer without selecting them (blue highlighting) and moving them?
They are selected on the artboard so the colour square appears next to them in the layers panel but I can't move them to a new layer without selecting them (even using ctrl or shift is still quite time consuming).
Illustrator :: Naming Paths IDs For SVG Files
Sep 30, 2012I'm in the process of creating an SVG file. I'll have a large number of paths of which all have a seemingly random ID's assigned to them, for example path4758 (see below). Ideally, I'd love to be able to set my own ID for a path, it would work when I parse my SVG file with a Python script. Is it possible to change the ID that is assigned to a path inside of Illustrator? If so, how would I be able to do so?
Sample Path
<path id="path4758" fill="#6DBE45" stroke="#727271" d="M76.872,481.133C76.012,484.881,74.835,481.123,76.872,481.133z"/>

Illustrator :: How To Transform A Lot Of Paths Into Object
Oct 14, 2013I have a .pdf output from a program I use at work. The .pdf can be opened in illustrator (IL) and I have about a bezillion of objects which are mostly all paths (0.5 stroke and no fill of course).
Due to the large number of objects, IL crashes after a while.
Is there a way to transform/join the paths from one row into one object? I tried rasterize, but the problem is that I can't change the color of the according row afterwards - and I need to be able to change the color later.
