Illustrator :: CS6 - AI Set Leading For All Text Automatically?
Oct 7, 2012
1. I created a text area box in CS6 at 18pt and it seems to have automatically set the leading to 21.6. Does AI set the leading for all text automatically based on the font size and the font selected? Does the font designer set this so that the leading is determined by him/her?
2. At what point do you generally want to adjust the leading? The art board on the left is set to 21.6 and the one on the right is set to 25. It creates a bit more breathing room/white space. How do you know when you are setting it too high?

I thought I once knew how to change the leading of an individual letter in a text, but now I can't remember how to. Do you know the short cut? An example would be using the word Tooth and changing the T to have the top aligned with the cross of the other t in the word!

I have a text box containing text. I know the shortcut to change the leading - alt + arrow keys
To use this shortcut I have to select the text which puts big black blocks through the text and I can't really see the leading.
Is there a way to use this keyboard shortcut without selecting the text and possibly just select the text box?
Is there a way to change the color of the text selection.

CDR X6 leading.PNG
There are years since I worked in CorelDraw. However, recently I got a project from a client. I have to implement 14 languages translations into a document. The work is, so far, Copy/Paste from MS Word, paragraph by paragraph. I didn't find a better way, yet.
At a point I run into a problem. Inside a Paragraph Text frame the text has a strange leading, or something (See attachment).

I have a document that is 4.5" x 7.5"
I need to resize it to 5.5" x 8.5". That part is cake!
Is there a way to automaticaly resize all of the text, images, etc to fit in the new size? Or do I have to do it manually?

Have to enter a lot of text snippets into illustrator cs4 every day, would love to make my live easier.
I'm trying to figure out how to import text to illustrator automaticly.
I have olny a few parameters: the text, what font to use, the size of the text (the text width and length in mm as if the text would be converted to outlines, needs to be exactly the right size) and the coulor.
Usually its one line of text, sometimes more lines of wich i have the widht and length of the complete block of text
The parameters could be in a cvs-file or something like that, ideally all texts would be imported in one file but it could be seperate files
Texts should be converted to outlines and saved as AI version 3
Is it possible to do this?

Just like in Photoshop: press CMD (Mac) and slide the mouse to increase/decrease size. This should be enabled througout the suite!

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?

through some difficulty I'm having in getting the leading (ie, line spacing) I want with artistic text, in CorelDraw 12? I have three lines of text, the first line of which has a font size of 20 pt, and the second and third lines having a font size of 13 pt. The default leading is greater between the first and second lines than between the second and third -- probably due to the font size difference. I would like to make the leading equal for all lines, regardless of font size, but can't figure out how to do that. "Format Text - Spacing - Lines" seems to offer leading only in relation to character height -- which automatically makes the leading between the first and second line larger (due to the larger font size used in the first line) than it is between the subsequent lines.

Using: Land Desktop Companion 2009
Issue: Imbeded text in Linetype is automatically orienting the top of the text toward the center of the arc. I have tried to "reverse polyline" to fix this, but the text will not change. Is there a line property that I am missing that will allow the text to orient itself as readable from arc Point of begining to the end?

Is there a way to automatically condense text in a one line text box, I have linked text boxes vertically and want to paste a list of names into them, and if a name is too long I want it to condense to the text box.
I know how to do this in print merge with the envelope tool but not in a text box.

Whether I'm creating a new document or working on an old document, I keep seeing this number in the text leading box instead of "auto." It's really annoying when the text wraps and it's inside the previous line, and I have to fix it every single time. How can I make it stop doing this?

A way to create a box around text that automatically adjusts in length as the text is changed? I know you can use the tolerance command to create text in the datum identifier but I was really looking for something I could use with attributed text strings for blocks.

Is there a way to put a text automatically on "X" frames? I mean, it's so hard to copy the layer and merge it on aaaaaall frames if a gif has 100, for example.

Is it me or is leading only affecting the bottom line/sentence of the line HIGHLIGHTED in CC?
Before, if I wanted to set the leading, I would highlight the line I want to affect and set it...that selected sentence would be the one to shift up or down. Now, the leading affects the sentence BELOW the sentence I highlighted.
Is there some setting to switch it back?

I've been running into a bug where entering a value into the leading and/or tracking fields in the Character panel generates random numbers. The major problem has come when I'm building banners at large sizes. I enter a value and suddenly I get a min/max warning that I've clearly gone over the maximum value allowed by Photoshop in that field. I press "OK" and another random value is inserted into the field rather than the allowable maximum value, which the warning box promised me it would enter in the field. This generally continues until I force quit Photoshop CC and restart it...hopefully not loosing too much work in the process.
(I've been burned too many times by Photoshop bugs and issues to know that I should save very frequently...to my desktop.)

I have a client that wants the part number to be driven by size with a catch.The part number goes like this:
625A3-A01.000M0.500 or 625A3-A10.000M1.000
625A3 = Profile Threaded or unthreaded rod
A= material type A-Mild Steel, B-Ground and polish rod, C-Stainless steel and so on
01.000 is the Length of the part (this is an issue will explain at bottom)
M= thread code K-no tapping, L-10-32 UNC, M-1/4-20 UNC, N- 5/16-18 and so on
.500= Diameter of rod ( nothing bigger than 9 inches)
Ok I have everything working but the Length the issue with this is the leading and trailing zeros and extra..If the length is 1/2 inch the number needs to show as 00.5000 if it is 1 inch needs to show as 01.000 if it was 10 inches it needs to show like 10.000.
Now this is the problem I am having if it is 1/2 I get this 0.500 but I need that extra 0 in the front like 00.500.
I am also having issues when the number is 4 inches or a rounded number 10,9,5 no matter if I have the parameter set to show trailing zeros it seems to work and not work so I get 4 and not 4.000 even in this I would have to get ilogic to add a zero to it like 04.000.
How can I get ilogic to look at the number of characters in the Length and if it is less than the what I need add the others.
If LENGTH >= Len(5) ThenParameter("L_1") = "0" & LENGTH & ".000"ElseParameter("L_1") = LENGTHEnd IfiProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")= "625A3-" & Mat_Code & L_1 & Tap_Code & Rod

Is there a way to use text that will automatically orient itself to a 0 angle (left to right) in a viewport even if the viewport is rotated 90-degrees, or any degrees for that matter. Due to some pretty messy oriented viewports, My texts are rotated all over the place depending on what sheet I'm looking at.

I have been using the multiline text quite successfully. When i was playing with inserting tables, i rotated my text in the tables.
Now when i use my multiline test on my plans they also automatically are set up vertically and not horizontally anymore.
Where can i rectify this. On the properties the rotation angle is set at 0 degrees.

I can get the leading zeros in the architectural dim style. My problem is I cant seem to get the leading zero in the parts list format. If I edit the parts list, then format column, there is no option to include leading zeros like in the dim styles.
We could format the parts list with the leading zero before....This is in 2013, BTW..

System variable to keep a stacked fraction with the leading number?
We open the same drawing on different computers at work and on one computer the number will be 21/2 but on the next computer that opens the same dwg the 1/2 will have been bumped down to the the following line. I don't know if this is a problem with the autostack properties, although I can't find anything about that, or if its a problem with the tabs.
I'm completely at a loss and its becoming a problem because if one person opens a project to plot it and it looks fine but the next person opens it and every mtext in the dwg is wrong it becomes very time consuming to fix.

I'm trying to format a number with leading and trailing zeros. If I only needed trailing zeros I'd set the number as a parameter and force the formating there. I tried using the Format function but it fails and I found one other instance of someone trying it and it failing also.
For example I want to change 2.125 into 02.13
P.S.Just for fun I went to the VBA editor and tried this.
debug.Print format(2.125,"00.00") 02.13
Works perfectly in the VBA but not in iLogic

When I change a dimension in one viewport the alphabetical text size in another viewport enlarges automatically (not the numerals) yet when I look at the properties it still says the right size. How can I stop this from happening?

I have set of imagery in tiff format. For each of the images i have information such as coordinates where it was taken. This is in a text file.
The images are quite large. Like 800mb each.
What i am doing at this point is :
I open each image, copy the details from the text file and paste it inside the image and also I add my company logo. Then i resize it and reduce the size to a suitable one like 40 mb for printing.
What i was wondering if there is a possibility that this can be automated? Like a script or a program that will read from the text file the details, place them inside the image, put the logo in the appropriate place and resize.

I am running CS5.1 and suddenly Illustrator gets hung up on opening a particular file every time I launch. I do want to open this file, but since I just get the spinning rainbow every time I do - I'm guessing it's corrupt now - I've tried to work on other files. Any other file launches fine, but then it quickly tries to open this corrupt file too, hanging up the program until I force quit.
