Lightroom :: Multi User Access To Library In OSX 10.9?

Dec 16, 2013

I just bought my first Apple gear. iMac and iPads for family. I downloaded some photos to the iMac via iPhoto and tried to allow other users to share the library. This caused major headaches. Prompts to repair permissions constantly appeared, even after permissions were changed. After a visit to the Apple store for a One to One session, it seems that the OS cannot provide this simple functionality (in windows I simply changed folder permissions and it all worked, access granted).

I have a NAS for backups, so buying another external HD I don't need is a waste of money. Surely there must be a simpler way for all users of our iMac to have access to the photo library. I thought it would be a simple folder permission issue.

Would using Lightroom instead of iPhoto to download and organize my photos and videos solve the problem or is the problem due to the way OS 10.9 works? Would Lightroom provide the same quick sharing functionality with links to Facebook and local email apps etc?

Illustrator :: Cannot Find User Generated Swatch Libraries To Delete

May 29, 2012

I created two swatch libraries with the same name which was a mistake and means that i always choose the wrong one.
 
In trying to figure out where the swatches are I came across a forum post from adobe that mentioned they were in application support in the library.
 
Well in my case they are not.
 
When I go to save a new swatch library it shows the path on my mac as...
 
private/var/root/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobeillustratorcs6/ en_GB/swatches
  
But i cannot find a way to access this folder to delet the swatch libraries...

Illustrator :: Disappearing Swatch Library?

Apr 15, 2011

I frequently use Pantone solid coated colors in my work, and have to open that palette anew each time Illustrator has been restarted.  I know that in CS4 I could keep that palette available, but I haven't been successful doing the same in CS5.  I have saved my workspace, but the Pantone palettes disappear when Illustrator quits.

Illustrator :: Missing Swatch Library In CS6

Dec 13, 2012

I am reading a tutorial for Adobe Illustrator CS6 that was written for CS5 version and I am at a point where the author uses the 'Mayan Bricks' pattern.

(He says that it is located in Swatch Library > Patterns > Decorative > Decorative_Primitive).

The problem is that in CS6 version there is no Decorative_Primitive folder.

Illustrator :: Custom Swatch Library Isn't Updating In CC

Jan 17, 2014

I have a big custom swatch library that I'm continually making additions and corrections to. I have it set as persistent, and the library works fine, but it doesn't update when I make changes to it. As far as I can tell, it's still stuck at the point where I upgraded to CC a few months ago. I've tried unchecking persistent, closing the library and Illustrator, then reopening and reinstalling the library, and it's still reverting to the old version.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Call Swatch From The Library

Jul 20, 2012

I'm writing a script to create a new AI document with a restricted swatchbook. The designer is supposed to use only the swatches/inks provided by this script. So far I was able to delete all current swatches and add a CMYK or RGB spotcolor swatch.
 
var inkt02 = app.activeDocument.spots.add();
inkt02.name = 'inkt 2';
inkt02.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT;
var kleur02 = new CMYKColor();
kleur02.black = 10;
kleur02.cyan = 80;
kleur02.magenta = 0;
kleur02.yellow = 90;
inkt02.color = kleur02;
var newSpotColor = new SpotColor();
newSpotColor = inkt02;
newSpotColor.tint = 100;
thePallet.addSpot(newSpotColor);
 
Often we will be dealing with Pantone colors. No need to define these, as they are inside AI already, right? But how to call them from the library? I'm new to ExtendScript.

Illustrator Scripting :: Convert CSV To Swatch Library?

Aug 4, 2012

I have a list of 300+ colors that I need to make into a swatch library for Illustrator. The data looks like this:
 
GREEN GRASS,127,187,0
PALE YELLOW,241,235,135
LIGHT YELLOW,238,231,93
DAFFODIL,249,231,21
MOONBEAM,249,223,22
etc.
 
It's RGB I think. In any case, I am just starting with Illustrator and I know NOTHING about scripting. these colors into a swatch library? I am getting a migraine just thinking about putting them in one by one.

I found something here, but that didn't work for me. I get an error on processing on line 75. [URL] ....
 
Error 24: app.doScript is not a function, Line 75 _> app.dpScript(speakThis, 1095978087); //AppleScript.
 
I get as far as choosing the csv file, and then I get the error. I think this outputs as CMYK, but not sure.

Illustrator :: How To Create Swatch Library From Multiple PNG Files

Jul 27, 2013

Illustrator CC
 
I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
 
What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time.  (you can select all from the existing  user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one  duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
 
This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into  the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums  for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way,  just can't find it.
 
Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window  option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.

Illustrator Scripting :: Importing Color To Swatch Library From Text File

That will have the name of the color and the CMYK breakdown. So that I can easily use in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there any way or application in doing this with out manually entering the information and creating a new library?

Illustrator Scripting :: Apply Every Swatch Library Color To Path Items On Page?

Oct 1, 2012

I'm trying to write a script that applies a single swatch to a single path item and repeat for every swatch that is currently contained in the swatch library. This script that I have written is only applying the last swatch in the swatch library to every path item on the page. Currently I'm more concered with getting each swatch that is currently in the swatch library to be applied at least once before worrying about applying the same patch to any extra number of patch items compared to the swatches.length.

// Apply every swatch library color to path items on a page
if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0 ) {
doc = app.activeDocument;

[Code]....

Illustrator :: Missing Pantone Library Between User Accounts

Feb 21, 2013

Our macs have 2 accounts on each (2 shifts) and we have installed the new Pantone + colours (336) in the swatches as usual.

Open illustrator and the libraries are there. When I switch to the other user account the libraries are missing in Illustrator. I navigate to the presets/swatches folder and they are installed. All permissions on Read write-everyone but still the second user account cannot see the swatches.

AutoCAD VB :: Open User Defined CHM Using F1

Feb 2, 2006

The act of opening the CHM file is no problem from VBA. However, this particular routine does not use a dialog box, only a "select objects" prompt. I want to allow the user to press "F1" or "'HELP" at this point and have it open my CHM file.

In lisp, you can use (setfunhelp) to do this.

So in theory, if the VBA sub is called like this:

(defun c:foo ()(vl-vbaload "c:/program files/
directory>/sample/vba/drawline.dvb"))

...then the lisp function should work, but it doesn't. Pressing "F1" or "'HELP" during the vba routine, simply opens the AutoCAD HELP to the default page.

AutoCAD Architecture :: User Defined Hatch

Aug 25, 2011

I have a drawing from an architect, and they have used a user defined hatch pattern. But I cannot use it. I can find it's name, it shows up in properties and in the hatch tools. But it isn't in any *.pat files and I can't copy it into my tool palettes. where I could find it, it shows up just fine in the drawing, but I can't figure out how to use it in other areas, not even within the same drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: User Defined Parcel Properties

Apr 16, 2012

I'm trying to add user defined properties to parcels, and then apply various styles to control shading of parcels, and to display some or all of the user defined data, as applicable depending on the values of that data.

I have managed to create a user defined category within my [User-Defined Property Classification] and then create categories within that classification.

The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to see those classifications in prospector so that I can sort based on those values, and then batch assign styles. How to display the classifications.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Points - User Defined Properties

Nov 8, 2012

So - user defined properties for points are great.  My only problem is that I can't copy and paste them between drawings without losing the user defined properties.  I've tried it in both c3d 2011 and 2013. 

I can export them into a user defined point file and import them into another drawing the same way, but that is more cumbersome than just copying and pasting.
