CS4 Bug - Rotating jpg gets center stretched and size expanded.
What happens is I have a jpeg in a separate layer. I then shrink it to overlay on another layer. I begin to shrink and rotate it, and then at some point (seemingly a certain angle) during rotation the image's bounding box gets stretched like 500% or some gross number. How do I stop this from happening?
I'm on a Mac working in Illustrator CS6. I went to print out of the print dialog box and after I printed, I noticed that the margins are larger on one side that the other. I re-opened the print dialog box and double clicked in the area that shows the artwork prior to print, to re center the artwork in the window, and noticed that there two dotted lines in thw window. One being the artwork, and the other is the image printable area.
Well when I double clicked on the dialog box to re-center the artwork in the prinatble area, the art works centers, but the printer image area is offset, or nudged upward. When I print the margins are larger on one side and not centered. Heres the million dollar question,"How do I re-center the image area for printing so when I print, the artwork is centered?" I'm not printing boarderless. I will try to include a pic if needed.
downloaded the trial version of CS2. I scan a lot of images onto my computer. Naturally, the images stored in My Pictures are not entirely centered.
Is there any feature on Photoshop that would allow me to SLIGHTLY rotate an image
I have two adjacent circles. I created two tangent lines between them on opposite sides. I want to connect the lines to the circles. So - I make the circle into a pie, and with the node editing tool, drag the nodes around until I see the little info text go from edge to "node" where it snaps on the nope of the line.
Before I start this, the lines are perfectly tangent. When complete, the lines are no longer tangent and the circle is shifted upwards, and is moved off the perfect tangent by different amount for each line. I can see a difference at 3200% and 11000% zoom at 0.5 point lines.
This occurs if I rotate the circle, or make the circle into an arc also.
It seems that when the circle is drawn, the center point about which its rotated, and from where the arcs/pies are drawn is not exactly center. This is happening when I manually rotate it. It I rotate it giving it a specific degree in the properties bar across the top, it rotates fine. For instance, repeating this again, the arcs of the circle is below one line, and above the other live by a lesser degree.
How can I build something that looks like a rubber membrane stretched in a spot where an invisible object (say bowling ball) is sitting on the membrane? Hopefully that is enough of a description.
How to do this effect. Extrude does not give me the desired effect. Pretty much a beginner in Illustrator.
I'm sure this is mind-numbingly obvious and I am overlooking it, but when I go to use the rotate tool, the center point of the rotation is defaulting to the center of the artboard, not the selected group of objects. How do I change that to default to rotating on the selection center by default?
PS. This is Illustrator CC (17.0.2) on a Mac running 10.9, if that is relevant.
Can the bounding box be adjusted, in shape, to a circle?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been working on this project in Illustrator for a day or two now. All of a sudden, all objects, both preexisting and newly created, have a very large purple bounding box.
In order to alter the size of the object, I have to find the corner of the large bounding box. I have a feeling it may be a setting I hit as this began happening after I was fiddling around with adding more artboards.
I am signed up for Adobe CC and learning a lot about the apps. Using Illustrator, I found I cannot see a bounding box round objects. I DO see the anchors etc, but no bounding box..I looked in PREFERENCES > SELECTIONS but no luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am struggling to properly align text because the bounding boxes are not centered around the text. Therefore, when I try to align it with another object, it is off. I am using CS 6 and, generally, the point and type tool. it might be the type of font (that perhaps they are "bad" fonts) but it doesn't seem to matter which type of font I use. The bounding box always has extra space underneath the text, even when using a very standard font like Times New Roman.

View 22 Replies View RelatedI would like to fit text to a bounding box's width.
So for example, if I have a bounding box with the with 10 cm, I should be able to type text in it, multiple lines, and the text should then fit itself to the width of the bounding box by going up/down in size, so the height of the text also changes accordingly.
Does it make sense?
It appears that the origin of objects is the center of the bounding box of the object. Is it possible to set the origin of objects to be the top left of the bounding box? It is possible to specify coordinates for paths this way.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Illustrator CS6 for Windows, when I open a document and then open a second window (Window > New Window), I can show rulers (View > Rulers > Show Rulers) in one window without affecting the behavior of the other.
I can also hide edges (View > Hide Edges) in just one window, but not the other. I can even show the transparency grid (View > Show Transparency Grid) in one window, but not the other.
This is all as expected, and very useful when I keep one window on my working monitor and drag the other window to the monitor my client is watching.
The problem is this: when hide or show the bounding box (View > Hide/Show Bounding Box), it affects both windows. Furthermore, it affects all open documents--not just multiple windows belonging to one document.
This is maddening--is there some way I can restrict that change to just one window? I can't imagine why other View options are per-window, but this View option is application-wide.
TL;DR: In Illustrator CS6 for Windows, how can I hide the bounding box in one and only one document window?
I am trying to scale an object by draging the corners but my bounding box moves as a group and I can't scale it. the txt has been outlined, my bounding box is set to "show"... I am using a MAC and Illustrator CC.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Illustrator CS6 with a file that someone else produced. Many of the area text bounding boxes are way bigger than they need to be. In Freehand, I used to be able to double-click on a corner of the bounding box and the box would automatically resize itself to just fit around the text (loved that feature!). Is there something similar in Illustrator? Or do I need to go through and manually resize all the bounding boxes by dragging them smaller?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI seem to be doing something that causes an empty bounding box to appear in my document and when I attempt to delete the bounding box I can't. It always remains on the screen. When I select any objects in the design, the mysterious bounding box encompasses it and the object. I can even move the empty bounding box to any corner of the artboard and when I select an object it will look as if the object has some hidden content in the corner where the empty bounding box was because it incorporates the mystery bounding box with the object's natural bounding box.
I'm running CS5 on a Windows machine with 8gigs of RAM.
How do I fix this? I've gone through view settings so far, without success.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm extremely new to scripting; I managed to create a script to extend the artboard of my documents (which I was extremely proud of given my inexperience!) and another to align a couple of objects alongside each other, but my attempts to script some new code has met with failure.
Firstly, I need some Illustrator CS4 Javascript code that will create a bounding rectangle for the selected object(s). The selected object(s) will always be rectangular; no irregularly-shaped objects. I know this should be simple, but I can't work out the variables/attributes involved.
Secondly, some code to select the leftmost object in a document. And the equivalent for the rightmost object.
If it makes any difference, I'll be stitching these scripts together with an action to achieve the following workflow.
Two EPS files are dragged into an empty document as 'Linked Files'.The two Linked Files are aligned alongside each other. (Using a script I've already written.)The leftmost Linked File is selected and has a bounding rectangle created, which is then used to mask the Linked Object.The rightmost Linked File is then selected and has a bounding rectangle created, which is then used to mask the Linked Object.Both masked Linked Files are selected, and a bounding rectangle is created to mask them into the same Clipping Mask group.The artboard is set to the dimensions of this combined masked pair (I've managed to write that script already).The Linked Files are embedded into the document.
The reason for this is because we have EPS map files exported from AutoCAD that are left- and right-hand pages. These need to be combined into one file, but when they are brought in they lose their masks as the BBOX element is not recognised by Illustrator. The double-masking in my process above is needed to ensure that content from either map doesn't overlap the other half of the map.
Left: 'vertical align bottomed text with the box of black stroke
Right: manually moved text with smart guide to align with its base line.(what I want to achieve)
As you can see in the left one, text has its base line under itself, and its bounding box doesn't match its base line. when I use align, it doesn't align using its base line but its bounding box.How can I make text align using their base line easily?
I am using Illustrator CS4. When I move my selection tool to the white square on the bounding box for resizing, I am not getting the normal arrows that appear. When I click on the box and move the pointer the entire box and image move. This was working OK until about 5 hours ago.

Is there a way of rotating appearances or other effects with the art you have rotated?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCompletely unlike the way Illustrator worked in previous versions, when I rotate a shape (say a square) that has a gradient in it, the gradient does not rotate with the object. For example if it is a black to white gradient and initially the black is at the bottom of the square, if I rotate the square instead of the gradient moving to the top, it stays at bottom. Same thing if its rotated to other rotations, 45 degrees moves the black to a corner etc. I can't find this anywhere, is it a preference? I've had 2 installs of Illustrator now on 2 clean Windows 7 installs and its still the same. A very frustrating workflow being that I am an animator, I don't want to have to manually change a gradient everytime I do another frame.
