Illustrator :: Cannot Change Units In Preferences Panel Or Document Setup

Feb 5, 2014

PC, Windows 7, AI CC..I have a document that displays units in points, and when I change the unit type to inches in the preferences panel and the Document Setup panel, the change won't apply.
 
I've tried saving as a new document, restarting, etc. I even tried setting the units to other units... doesn't matter what I have the units set to in preferences, it's always displaying points.

Illustrator :: Document Setup In CC Not Allowing To Change Page Orientation?

Jun 23, 2013

I love the new versions of Illustrator, but get left in the dust with new innovations that I can't figure out.
 
I am trying to go to File > Document Setup and all I get is a new dialog box that completely leaves out page orientation and page size as well. I just want to have an artboard that is 11" x 8 1/2" but there is nothing I see in menus or in palettes that give the old comfortable page orientation change that you used to be able to do in older versions of Illustrator. How do I set page or artboard size and orientation?

Illustrator SDK :: Accessing Document From A Panel

Nov 28, 2013

I created a panel by following the EmptyPanel sample. Basically, my code looks like:
 
AIErr Plugin::AddWidgets()
{
  ...
  AIPanelPlatformWindow hDlg = NULL;
  sAIPanel->GetPlatformWindow(fPanel, hDlg);
  HWND HwndSelectButton = CreateWindowEx(
    0, "BUTTON",   // Predefined class; Unicode assumed.

[Code]...

The problem is, when I call sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification, I get a NULL file path with an error code of kNoDocumentErr.

Illustrator SDK :: Creating Art Present On Document But Not Visible On Layer Panel

Aug 9, 2012

Is it possible to create an art which is present on the document but not on the 'Layer' panel(F7)?
 
My requirement is to create an art which is visible on the document, but could not be seen on the Layer panel and user is not able to select it.
 
Just like it happens in case of reflection, when we are creating a copy of selected art object, the reflected copy doesn't present on the 'Layer' panel but it is visible on the document and user is not able to select the reflected one, while he can only select the original art.

Illustrator :: How To Save Custom Artboard Setup With Custom Document Profile

Nov 1, 2012

Is there a way to save a custom artboard setup with a custom document profile in illustrator cs5? I do technical illustrations and our page size is odd (7.19 x 8.96. It the size that our Framemaker layout is set to.). I have a custom document profile that I use, but I use the grids all the time so that my callouts are spaced out evenly around the art. I would like to have a way to set the artboard up so that the grid will align to the center of the artboard everytime I turn them on. Right now they always start from the top left and when I center art in the center of the page, the grid spacing isn't the same on each side of the art. I just want to be able to open my document profile, turn on my grids, have them start from the center, and I can get down to business. As it is now I have to go into my artboard settings and manually adjust the grid to the center. Small annoyance, but it still annoys me. I have tried to save it a few different ways, but nothing has worked. Maybe there just isn't a way.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Scale Setup - What Is Units

Nov 3, 2013

how the scales and printing works.

first i am working in meters .meters is choosen under the drawing settings tab .i am trying to test print at 1:1  a rectangle with 0.2 meters side that normaly will fit in a A4 sheet since the A4 is 0.21x0.297 METERS .

in the print dialogue i set the 1"mm" = 0.001 "units". the result is an image multiplied by 1000...arent the " units "   METERS? METERS is what i use in the drawing so why i get a biger image?

if i set 1"mm"= 1 "unit" and NOT 0.001 i get correct 1:1 print .

what i am missing?  c3d wants me to give 1mm=1meter?

Illustrator :: Change Panel Setting / View?

Jan 19, 2014

I am a PC user and have just bought myself a new Macbook pro. I am stucked with the first hurdle, the moment I launched the AI program the middle is empty with only top and side panels. This panel setting is something very odd to me and coming from PC I never had problem changing panel settings. I spent 4 hours including googling this forum and deleted old preferences three times, no luck. How do I toggle between panel viewing options?

Illustrator :: How To Change Icons To Text In Control Panel

Apr 1, 2013

I'm trying to follow along with a video at Lynda.com on AI CS6.However, in the video, Deke McClelland is showing the TEXT "Align" on the top Control Panel.On my screen, it's not a text, but a small icon. When I click it, I don't get the same options he does.
 
I've searched and searched and can't find how to get MY screen to look like his. I have even tried to "Reset Essentials" (the workspace he's using) and still no luck.

Have been working on a little something and would like to know what units the user is using in their document. Basically what is selected here:

The thing is, no matter what is there (and while all other menus and such use the units) Active Document.unit stubbornly returns inches. Is there a way to get the proper ones using VBA?

Illustrator :: How To Change View Qualities When Effects Panel Open

Aug 14, 2013

Open Effects>Stylise>Rounded Corners, Turn on Preview (BTW how do I make PREVIEW ON! as the default for all effects panels/windows?)Now I want to Hide the Bounding Box and the Edges... but those shortcuts are now inoperable.
 
Photoshop allows me to hide bounding box, and the rulers, I think, when having an effect window open, why does Illustrator not permit this?Is there an alternative other than canceling out and starting again with the view qualities changed?
 
Seems needlessly long winded to cut off these shortcuts just because an effects settings window/panel is open.

Illustrator :: Why Do Colours Change In Printed Document

Jul 17, 2013

When I add a logo to my artwork in illustrator, import the illustrator file to a word template and print, it changes the printed colours dramatically..(black to blue, green to black and yellow to pink). Do I need to change a setting for that imported logo to make it compatible to print?  Without that particular logo, the document prints fine.

Illustrator Scripting :: Change Active Layer Name Same As Document Name

Sep 30, 2013

I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name.  I know very little about scripting.  I found this script:
 
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;var filename = idoc.name;ilayer.name = filename;
 
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name.  Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?

Illustrator :: Change Default Text In CS6 Permanently For Every New Document Or Import?

Feb 27, 2014

My work involves importing in new documents and formating them correctly. We have a specific font style that is different than the original font. Illustrator cannot read those fonts, so it defaults to Myriad Pro in the original text size. Since it is changing it from Myriad Pro to Arial, I don't really have a problem with the global change that this would have.
 
I already have the [Character Styles] options set up for a template, but this does not work on new documents.
 
We are on Windows 7 with CS6.

Illustrator Scripting :: Change File Path For Links In Document?

Apr 14, 2010

changing the file path for links in an Illustrator document?
 
For example, let's say my Illustrator document is stored at: /Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/designs/concept1.ai
 
and I have placed 2 linked visuals:
 
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/big_retouch.psd
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
  
When I open the .AI I noticed that the reference to the visuals is under a %DocumentFiles section:
%%DocumentFiles:/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/retouc hed.psd
%%+/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
 
I need to replace "/Volumes/Storage/Projects" with "/Volumes/Projects". (There are some more complex replacements I need, but let's start here.)
