Illustrator :: CS6 - Inconsistent Pica Format Display
Aug 4, 2012
I almost always work in Picas; and I just started using CS6, so I've just discovered that Illustrator CS6 has an annoying habit of occasionally — not always— deciding to display Pica units incorrectly. The only common factor is that it's always a whole Pica value, and the last whole Pica is displayed in Points. For example, 5.5 inches should be displayed as 33p0; but sometimes — again, not always — Illustrator CS6 will choose to display that as 32p12.
Well, first of all, anything-"p12" is just wrong. It's anything+1"p0," dammit.
Secondly, even if there was some insane rationale for displaying "p12,"
I am having a problem where Photoshop does not always give me accurate color display all the time. I am aware of the situation but this has become an issue where I have to edit some photos for a pro lab output. The monitor has been calibrated and delta E is less than 0.5, which is okay.
Attached is the print screen of PS at one moment, vs the print screen of PS at another moment (they were layered and mask applied). Dragging the image U/D/L/R also shows the colour one or another. This becomes quite an issue since I had no way of telling whether I am seeing the correct color, especially when I am soft proofing or converting color profiles for final output.
What circumstances would cause inconsistent values for Width and Height to be shown in the Info Panel vs the Transform Panelin AI CS6? For instance, I have a vector object selected and the Transform Panel has "80 in" for the width value and the Info Panel shows "96.8654 in". Height is likewise screwy.
Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent.
I keep getting this message everytime I try to use any of the print script examples in the adobe javascript reference guide. I also tried the script from this thread: [URL] .... and got the same error. I'm using a windows 8 machine but got the error on vista as well.
Have been running the trial version of Lightroom 3.6 for the past three weeks. I see that it cannot handle or display PNG format, of which I have over 11,000 images. PNG is my primary WORKING format for single layer images due to its lossless compression, support for EXIF data, and transparency later. Lightroom creates tens of thousands of tiny folders and catalog files that are difficult to defragment and greatly complicate my routine backups. I must comment that Adobe filters, especially Noise Reduction are really great but the lack of PNG support is a show stopper.
Also ran Lightroom Synchronize to add recent photos to the Canon folder and for some reason it changed the date stamp on over 3 GB of photos to the present day. When I went about a routine backup of the photos, the backup software wanted to completely overwright all the files with TODAYS date on the MyBook drive!! What? no way. So now I must RESTORE all these files BACK to the original date stamps. This is way over the top. Plus Lightroom is very slow to complete the Sync task, and might even take two passes.
How can I display the object data of a layer in table format, with VB.net. or How can I display the attributes of a .SHP file, edit it and also add new point to it.
Is there any way to change the format of Lat/Long in a C3D point list display from degrees, minutes, seconds to decimal degrees? I have looked pretty hard, but can't find anything. The geodetic calculator only does one item at a time, I think. Any plug-ins out there? I suppose this could be on a wish list as well.
I am using R2012.and have ended up manipulating point values in Excel-not a quick way of going about it.
I have written this code to check the name of the layouts and determine if the are to our company standard or not and if they are close enough to determine what they should be rename them. I create a drawing with severl differant layout names to test the code but I am getting inconsistent results. The drawing I created has 9 layouts named M2_03, M2_04, m3_01, m3_02, tm01_25, tm2.05, tm2.06a, TM2_01, and TM2_02A. It seems to be crashing on the tm2.06a but I can not figure out why.
Public Class StandFix <Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("StandFix")> _ Public Sub StandardFixer() Dim ErrString As String = "" ErrString = ErrString & StandardizeLayoutNames() MsgBox(ErrString, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Non-Standard Entities Found") End Sub [Code] ....
why sometimes it work and checks all the layouts, but most of the time it only does some of the layouts.
The input tonal value is 70% of a CMYK primitive color, e.g. cyan, using Photoshop's color picker.
For measuring the tonal values and differences, switch the info palette to CMYK and 32-bit mode. It's also possible to see the differences in HSB and Lab mode (depends on selected CYMK color profile).
Measured values of filled layers using different Photoshop functions: .....
I have PS 7.0, and an optimized-for-graphics monitor that's less than a year old.
I've noticed that when creating a graphic, the color I use during development changes to a darker shade when I go to save it. And the darker shade is saved rather than the original shade that I intended.
For instance, I created an image using #222222 for background, which is a very dark gray. And when it comes up in the 'Save for web...' dialog, it's much darker, almost #000000.
ive recently started to work with DBLink and access 2013 to make take offs mainly. Today i made a small project to test some ideas and found an inconsistency between the material areas and the area of the element, a wall in this case, to which the material is apllied. I think they should be the same, or at least very close, but that´s not the case when i export to access. I've attached a image with a material takeoff schedule from revit and the correspondent query from access (element type name, element area, material name, material area, material volume, material area/element area). The revit one seems correct, but in access the material area values are very different. Initially i thought it would be due to units difference, like the material area were in sq cm and the element area in sq m, but the relationship between them isn´t 10, as you can see in the calculated value. Then i added the material volume to the schedule and query and the results on access are even more strange, i can´t even imagine where this values came from.
I'm aware that when using "pixel mode" at a certain zoom level Draw Ignores your settings for "nudge" and does it's own thing. (I think it's when the pixel grid appears and in my case this is at 800%) However, I've found a "feature" which seems like a mistake.
In large zooms in pixel mode objects move 0.5 pixels with the arrow keys, however when using the node edit tool your setting applies.
Personally I'd prefer Draw to always use the settings that you specify but I was told that the change of setting at large zoom levels was intentional - if this is true why do my nodes move differently to objects? This inconsistency can't be "intended"?
I have several script commands that insert items such as title blocks (xrefs) and page boundaries (blocks). The base point and INSBASE for all files are set to 0,0,0. However the blocks will occassionally come in at different positions. In some cases I can repeat the command multiple times and each time the same block will inset at a different position in the same drawing even though the insert point is set to 0,0,0.
Trying to set a Phantom line as the property line and also use dashed lines (ACAD_ISO03w100)
I can mess with the ltscale and make it so one or the other reads properly, but never both. The Phantom displays correctly at ltscale: 1, the dashed lines display when ltscale is .1 they are on different layers
I have noticed in the past that in x-refs the layer colors can be inconsistent but never really thought about it. But I have just started looking into it, I created 2 simple drawings with a layer called 'one' and in each drawing gave the layer a different color value. In each drawing there is a rectangle on that layer, and then the first drawing is x-ref'd into the second. OK no problems so far. If you now go back into the first drawing and change the layer color, and save the drawing, the second drawing lets you know that a reference has changed and needs updating, but the color doesn't change, and if I then add new geometry into the first drawing and update the x-ref in the second drawing it shows up as the original color of the layer.
I haven't checked yet if any other properties behave in the same way, but I am just trying a color coding system for checking when items have been updated, and this throws a spanner in the works, how to update the properties, or is it possibly a system variable.
Full screen view is a minor, but convenient new feature in LR5. It's a quick way to look at a photo without distractions. Being able to flag, color code, rank, and apply Develop module edits with shortcut keys while in full screen are all pluses. Also, the primary "bug" in the Beta, that the F key did not work like a toggle and take you back to the prior view, has been fixed. However, the keyboard shortcuts still do not work consistently.
If you initiate full screen from the Library module, pressing E, G, or D all work correctly. Even the shortcuts to specific Develop module tools work right. For example, R opens up the cropping tool. However, if you initiate full screen from Develop, pressing E or G still works, but pressing D or any of the Develop tool shortcuts has no effect.
I don't use the Color Sampler Tool much, but In checking something for another thread, I noticed the cursor now seems inconsistent with the cursors of the other tools.Basically, I expected it to drop the sampler on the little crosshair, and it dropped it instead at the end of the dropper.
This used to make sense, and it's still consistent with the Eyedropper cursor (and with prior versions of Photoshop). But I find that now I've gotten used to the other new cursors, most of which now define the hot spot at the upper-left, it didn't do what was expected.
I want to union all the members in a complex roof truss structure so I can 3D print the model (picture attached). It seems intermittent in which elements will union and which wont. Revisiting the elements they sometimes then union. Sometimes there is no error message while sometimes 'Inconsistent Edge Face Relationship'
What I have is a highway that is being twinned, however the divided lanes are not consistantly the same distance away (or the same width of roadtop). I would like to keep the number of alignments to a minimum. Both lanes would be based off the same vertical profile. So I would like to have a single assembly that could adjust the median width in the center, and the lane width. Targetting the horizontal layout you can see in the attached screenshot. (this is not all of the job of course)
Is this a feasible task for the targetting assemblys? Would be a fairly standard 4:1 side slopes, adjustable ditch bottom width, 2% crowned road otherwise.
Using photoshop CS6 on Mac, I am seeing a problem with one of my batch processing sript who's only task is to apply an embossed water mark to images which I have resized such that the longest side is always 500px. (short side varies depending on how I have cropped).
In most cases, the piece of text I am adding to the image appears fine. But then for no apparent reason, it will suddenly apply the text (which I have set to 24pt) and it is way to big. To address the issue, I have to reduce the font size (via the actions pallate) down as far as 8 pt. Then it starts to appear more or less correctly (for a while) until maybe a few weeks later when I open up photoshop to run the job again and suddenly 8 pt font is WAY too small and I have to bump it up to 24 pt again.
I tried to slice a solid after a quite complex surface and received this error.
"The Boolean operation on solid and/or surface bodies failed.Modeling Operation Error: Inconsistent face-body relationships.SLICE failed for selected solid."
What I have tried:I up-scaled the surface-solid ensemble by 10x but it didn't work(same error)
I extruded that complex,multi-plane surface and then sliced it with a horizontal plane and got the desired solid BUT:I would like to know what the cause of that problem was and how it can be solved so that I can slice that solid following that surface.
I often find myself saving illustrator files in both ai and pdf formats. Since pdfs can be re-opened and modified in illustrator i wondered if i could stop saving in .ai
I am looking for modern AI file format specification. In some old topics I saw that all specifications later than this one URL>.... Are they still being in secret? If so, are there any tools from Adobe that can be used in my application to parse AI files?
Faced with a problem: illustrator CS5 refuses to save the file in eps. format. Ai. and pdf. formats saved, but eps. - no. I don't no what to do? Win 7, Adobe Suite CS5.5
I have a CS5 document with two artboards. Can I save the artboards to separate files? The File | Export command doesn't support the AI format and the "Use Artboards" option is disabled when using the File | Save As command.
