After selecting the area type tool, I try to click and drag but I get an error message: You must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text inside a path. This worked before but I must have screwed something up.
View 3 RepliesI want to know if there is an easier ACAD solution for drawing. In the given triangle of ABC (sides and angels are known) I want to draw line CM so that the area of BCM becomes 2000 cm (are of ABC is 5311.7 cm3).
Is there an easy ACAD way for drawing this line without using trigonometry for calculation?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in Illustrator CS6 to scale text inside a text box so that the text and box scale together proportionately? Not using the scale tool where you have to enter percentages, but using a keystroke. In Quark, you can do this by holding down Command + Shift and dragging the box. This will make the text and box bigger keeping the same dimensions. It's a very quick and easy way of changing the size of your text.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to rotate text inside an text area type.That is, rotate the text (so its e.g. 30 degrees going across the screen), but the area it is within does not rotate.
Everything I try when rotating rotates the entire area + the text in side, which makes the positioning of the shape my text is in wrong.I am after being able to change the inside text angle and content whenever needed.
I want to create an Area Type box and have all of the text line up on both the left and right sides, so I use the Justify all Lines option.
1. After doing this, is there a way to adjust the spacing of the headline? I tried adjusting the tracking, though that didn't work. Is the only way to use a separate Area Type or Point Type for the headline so it is not affected by the Justify all Lines option?
2. Is there another way to acheive what I want?
Really hoping there's some way to control leading for area type over multiple styles and various font sizes simultaneously.
Know I can change the auto leading percentage, but that's rudimentary.
For example, how can I add leading incrementally to this column without a lot of tedious selecting and style editing?
I can't find any reference to this option in any documentation, but does it exist?

What do I do to fix this (before I give up and uninstall Gimp)?
(to pre-empt the innevitable question - I can't draw on an area of transparency. Even if I copy a section of picture and paste into a new layer and move that to cover the transparent area, it isn't visible. Its like there's an area of completely opaque transparency covering everything else.)
I've recently migrated from AutoCAD 2008 (non-industry specific) to AutoCAD 2010 so I don't know if this was an issue in 2009.
Back in 2008, when I choose the 'window' option when specifying a plot area, AutoCAD would show the workspace so that I could manually select a windowed plot area, and at the same time the whole workspace would be greyed out except the previously active window area.
This was handy, because we can have as many two dozen title-blocks (and therefore separate viewports) in paperspace, and knowing what plot area I last plotted or added as a saved page setup.
In 2010, it no longer does that. I now have to rely on the dashed border to know where the active plot area is/was (checked 'display printable area' in options>display tab) which I personally don't really like using.
How to changes the settings for the "Square Area" in mapcheck's closure summary. When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area". Why are these both there? It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

Right now I have to use the 3rd party software to do something like this. I'm curious if there's a way to do inside Revit?
I need to determine whether an area intersects with another area.The left case can be easily determined by Polyline.IntersectWith(Polyline...).But in the right case, the two polygons intersect/overlap each other while polylines do not intersect.
What would be the efficient way to determine the right case polygons are intersecting polygons?
I would like to be able to draw squares by the area they should have. So that if I need a square of 50m2 autocad automatically draws a square of sqrt(50) x sqrt(50)
Because right now I have to draw 200 squares with 100 different areas and I have to calculate and manually draw each one of them.
Can I use the paint brush twice on the same area without having different scales of the same color? I would like to keep the paint brush smooth but the problem is that when the same area is painted twice, the color in such area darkens.
Is it possible to lock the paint brush to one stroke of paint? If an area is painted, is it possible to automatically skip that area when painting? In other words, is it possible to have the brush effect only once over a given particular area even if it is brushed over twice?
I don't use the area calculation tool that much. I was just working out a large area for concrete. I use TOOLS - INQUIRY - AREA. Thats all fine and it gives me the area, for instance, to keep it simple 4900 x 9000 = 44.10m² AutoCad displays it as 44100000. I know it's not a major problem, but is there anyway I can get it to display as 44.10 or at least lose all the zeros.

Regardless of the brush diameter or hardness when using the dodge tool to lighten an area of a photograph, it only lightens a very small area in the center of the brush and then only after repeated clicks. The burn tool seems to operate as normal (the whole area of the brush regardless of diameter).
Found that in certain drawings, the measure area tool will just suddenly stop working? It's very odd. It let's me pick points, but won't let me press enter to see the total.
Closing and reopening AutoCAD doesn't work. It seems to be a permanent thing to the affected drawing.
It's happened to me in a few drawings, but only in those specific ones. Other drawings are fine. I'm guessing it's a setting I've changed somehow?
I've been getting round it by creating shapes using the polyline, and then looking at the area in the properties window. It's an ok solution, but not ideal.
Crop tool deletes area within the marquee!? Never did this before!
View 7 Replies View RelatedYou know that rectangle selection tool? Cool huh! It lets you select a rectangular area and then move it around the graphic, letting you re-arrange layers or selected areas...
Well, I'm looking for a way to use a similar rectangular select tool and then be able to point at the bottom right corner of the selected area and be able to resize the selected area proportionally. Is there such a tool in photoshop? And if not, is there another graphic program that has this capablity? All I want is this simple capability, I'm willing to use whatever program that has it... its too much trouble creating my own program to do it.
Remember I said resize proportionately, in comparison MS Paint has a similar selection tool and lets you resize what you selected but NOT proportionately. I hope you understand what I mean. Resize but keep same proportionate dimensions...
Thank you.
I am trying to use the rectangle tool to select a rather specific area. I am trying to make a 50x50 square in the bottom left corner, but I don't know how I would accomplish this.

I don't remember it being a problem in LR4, but I have just used the spot tool on an image where there was a crop. The program's choice of source for the spot tool seems to me to be more dramatic than ever before, and in this particular image the source selected was in the area which I had cropped out. To move the source point, I had to open the crop tool to adjust one side of the crop, then move the source, then restore the crop to the image, then reselect the spot tool.
It might well be that in some instances the cropped out area is the best source, but whether it is or not, I think we need to be able to access the cropped detail without resetting the crop itself and preferably without having to then reselect the spot tool.
I have Adobe CS4 for macs. Just today, every time I enclose an area with my polygonal lasso tool, it stopped closing the area and instead gives me the message "No pixels are more than 50% selected.
The selected edges will not be visible." I must have accidentally pressed something by mistake that makes the lasso tool not work anymore but I don't know what. Do I need to reset Photoshop? Any ways to reset it? I tried holding option,command shift but it still did not reset my Photoshop to its original settings.I also rebooted my computer several times with no success.
I couldn't use the crop tool: when I want to crop any area, the big black-colored area occurs and preventing me to see what I want to crop... Before, with my Photoshop, I didn't have a such trouble, I attached a print-screen and it explains more accurate.

I've figured some things out, but am struggling with what appears to be a very valuable tool... the area tool.
I found many references to the boundary tool, but that looks more complicated.
I have figured out how to mark the corner and press enter, but the output is for example 1.7 sq ft vs. what should be approx 35K sq ft.
I tried to change the units, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
