Illustrator :: Combining Objects That Don't Overlap

Oct 13, 2011

How do I combine objects that aren't touching or overlapping? Pathfinder just turns them into a group, but I need them as a single object.

Illustrator :: Shaving Off Objects That Overlap

Sep 12, 2012

I have an object that I applied Gaussian blur to and it extends the boundaries. It is on top of a tan object, I need to "shave" the excess blur off to make it a clean and line up with my tan object. What is the most efficient way to this. In PS I would creat a selection around the tan object, then invert the selection and hit delete on the blur layer. what is the equivalent to that in AI?

Illustrator :: Possibility That Strokes Don't Overlap Into Other Objects

Jun 2, 2012

I have a layer with 3 objects. (this is not a font).The S, E and the XY are unique objects, and i wanted to apply two strokes to it. First a black stroke and then a blue one.
 
My issue here is that the strokes at the red marked points are overlapping to other objects.
 
Is there a possibility that the strokes don't overlap into the other objects? can i somehow "merge" the 3 objects to one so the overlapping doesn't occur?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: How To Overlap 2 Objects

Aug 27, 2012

As when drawing cartoons... example:

- Draw two circles & fill them with the same color.

- Overlap them

- You see the overlapping line of the top circle.

- How do you hide just that part of the line so it appears as one object of the same color

- while retaining the overall object outline.

Photoshop :: Combining Objects In A Layer

Nov 19, 2002

I'm going through some tutorials and I'm trying to make an object using some shapes. I'm putting them all in the same layer. I have my object, but now I want to add some layer styles (beveled edges). When I go to apply them, I only do it to one of the 3 shapes that make up my object. How do I combined all the shapes to make an object, so that I can then apply the effect? I'm on PS7.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Combining SVG Objects - Digital Drawing?

Feb 7, 2012

I'm having a few problems combining several objects.I did a drawing with a digital pen, quite a complex one. Every time the pen leaves the page/tablet and then resumes drawing a new object is created. I would like to combine all the objects as one single entity so that when you click on it you can see all the nodes in the entire drawing. You see, I wish to simplify the drawing (there are A LOT of nodes) and each time I try to do this I can only select certain clusters of nodes (ie certain objects, there are over a 1000 of these node clusters). Please refer to the attached picture to get a better idea - this is just a simple drawing of a house I did in inkscape (don't have coreldraw on this computer). I know how to do this in inkscape (at least I think I do). I thought the way to do this in coreldraw would be to click Arrange > then Combine. However, when I select all objects I can't utilise the Combine feature (it's there, though i can't click on it).

CorelDRAW X6 :: Combining Objects - Holes Fillup

Apr 18, 2012

Recently I have download Corel X6. It is a beautiful software, but when I combined some objects the holes fill-up. I read about this in forum and found a hint that reverse node. It is a good solution but this solution works on when you are using a few objects. What if I have a full page of objects and want to combine them. It is very difficult to select each object's node and apply reverse node command. 

In Corel 12 it was works fine i.e. combining objects. But in Corel X5 and X6 it is work like a ghost.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Objects With Transparencies Not Combining Into Bitmap Properly

Apr 11, 2012

I have need to combine 2 objects into 1 bitmap.  Top image is a black (K 100) box with 50 tranpareny, bottom image is just a rectangle with red fill C 0 M 100 Y 100 0.  When I combine into 1 bitmap coreldrawx5 is dropping out colour.  Maybe using 'normal' rather than 'multiply'.  When viewing with proof colours turned on it looks like B) even before combining.  Looks like there must be a setting somewhere where Corel that controls how it combines colour of objects as it converts to bitmaps but for the life of me i cant find it.

A) Should be like this with combined         B) Converts to this with combined colour

colour of C0 M100 Y100 K50                       of C0 M50 Y50 K50.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: Combining All Objects On Group Should Break The Grouping

Mar 1, 2013

If you have several objects grouped, and then you combine them all on a single object, the resulting object is placed inside the same group. This seems bogus, since is not possible to create a group of a single object.

Test case:Create 4 rectangles.Select them all and group them (ctrl+g)Select the group and combine all objects (ctrl+alt+dnarrow)

What I expect:A single object floating on the canvas

What I get:The same group but with a single object inside.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Combining Pages / Moving Objects To Single Page?

Sep 17, 2013

I've been exploring migrating my Design and PrePress departments away from Illustrator & Flexi and transitioning to Corel. Unfortunately I've hit a major stumbling block

Right now I have a team of designers laying out sign designs. They draw each sign and we generate a message schedule for those signs in excel. From there, we've been able to use the print merge function in Corel to transfer all the messages from the data sheet to the signs. The problem is, each sign is placed on a separate page within the Corel file. I know you can then use print imposition to gang those signs for printing...but the problem is we have a laser engraver, rotary engravers and routers that are all being run. I've fairly certain we could "print" to the laser without any issues but I'm not as confident regarding the other machines.

Typically once we have the drawings of every sign created (currently doing this in Flexi), we have programmers that gang all similar components together on files that are used to power the rotary engravers. Because the print merge function in Corel puts each sign on a separate page, I'm not sure how we'd be able to transition without having to copy, paste and place each sign back on to a single page. Our jobs often run into the hundreds of signs so the extra labor required would kill any savings such a transition might bring us.

Is there a way to combine pages post print-merge, to get all the objects on a single page? I had really hoped to be able to gang all objects together on a single page within a single file.

Illustrator :: How To Fill Area Where Shapes Overlap

Nov 2, 2012

I am recently getting back into using Illustrator.

I am trying to draw 2 shapes, let's say 2 circles, fill them w/colors, then have them overlap each other.

The part where they overlap creates a DIFFERENT shape. I want to fill that 3rd shapew/a different color. How do I select that 3rd shape area and fill out?

Illustrator :: Impossible To Overlap Two Shapes After Pathfinder Operation

Mar 13, 2013

I have been using Illustrator for a couple of years now and from time to time I encounter very strange behavior when manipulating a vector shape.I have a current example here where I simply want to create a combined shape using the pathfinder tool:
 
As you can see, the generated shape (red) does not cover the original shape (green).When I use the path selection tool, I am able to reposition the first anchor but when I do the same for the lower anchor as well the entire shape is replaces a few pixel to the left. Even using the "align" tool afterwards is not useful. It seems impossible to make the red shape cover the green one.

Illustrator :: Placed Graphics Image Area Changes Spot Colors They Overlap?

Jul 16, 2013

Surprisingly i can't find any mention of this anywhere on the intertubes - very often I have a placed (photoshop/tiff) graphic with transparent background overlaying (on top of) a spot color area, the spot color prints out completely different from how it should be (and how it is on non-overlapped areas).
 
I've tried everything i can think of, including making an opacity mask to 'hide' the supposedly transpararent areas of the placed grahic. I know a clipping path might work, but some art is too complex for that.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Pattern Background Overlap And Hiding Foreground Shapes

Aug 15, 2012

I'm having problems creating pattern swatches in cs6, because I can't seem to solve the problem of  the background overlapping and hiding foreground shapes. I can make patterns without a background and I think I've worked out how to prevent the problem with a simple grid, but when I make a brick tile pattern, whichever overlap options I choose, at least one of the foreground shapes gets partly obscured by the overlapping background. I'm used to making seamless patterns in previous versions of Illustrator, by using guides and grids, then defining the pattern using a background rectangle but this option doesn't seem to be available in CS6, so if I can't solve the problem, it's back to CS5.

Illustrator :: Combining Lines From 2 To 1

Jun 17, 2013

I have a stencil for Thermal Pads and I need to print it from an epilog zing printer. There are outlines of boxes, some with curved edges and some without. The boxes orinially started with spacing between them, but we need to illiminate the spacing so that we can fit more stenciles on one piece of material. The problem is that when I print the stencil the laser will cut out edges that touch twice, which causes the material to burn from the laser. Is there a way to combine these lines in a way that isn't just grouping or joining them as the laser will still recognize two lines not just one as it appears to look like once joined.

Illustrator :: Combining Lines Into Solid Shape?

Mar 6, 2014

I'm trying to create a solid black background for a logo i'm working on. From the image you can see, i'm wanting the space between the lines filled to create a solid black background behind the stripes in the logo. As well as the space between the circle and the inner line.
 
I've tried several options on the pathfinder panel. There's got to be an easier way than recreating the whole shape with the pen tool.

Illustrator :: Combining Layers To A Single Layer?

Mar 11, 2014

I have just been updated to CC at work and I am having all sorts of issues. But the two main pressing ones are:
 
1. When I save, it keeps "not responding". Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't. When it does, I lose everything. It takes anywhere from 1 - 5 minutes to save. I thought it was an issue with a large file, but it does it to me in a one page file with only one photo in it as well.
 
2. Layers. This is the killer right here. Again, I thought this was a capatability issue when using old files, but it has proved me wrong. As I create layers and new artwork, it works fine. However, once I save and re-open the file, all the artwork has been combined to a single layer and then I have to dig it all out to do anything to it, only to have it do the same thing the next time I repoen the file.
 
Is it me? Is it default settings somewhere in CC? I have major deadlines that I think I am going to miss if things keep continueing the way they are.
 
System Specs:
Illustrator CC 16.0.3  (Tried to update to 17 and it said everything was up to date, twice)

Illustrator :: Corporate Logo - Combining To Vector Shapes

Jan 25, 2014

I am working on a corporate logo consisting of two different shapes, and I want to combine them into one. The end result has to be a vector image.
 
One of the shapes is slightly bigger than the other one, and I want to remove the parts that are at the outside of the other shape. It's a little tricky to explain, but what I want to do, is equal to the "Paste into"-option in Photoshop where an inserted object is placed within the borders of another.
 
Is this possible in Illustrator?
 
I'm not that familiar with paths, so I don't know what to do...

Illustrator :: AI CS6 - Skewing Objects To Match Other Objects

Sep 22, 2013

There are 3 elements there. the top of the clap board was placed before i started tryinbg to create the slanted dashes that are on the average clapboards. The white dash was skewed using Object > Transform > Shear. Then i attempted to rotate it to fit.
 
I need 4 of these skwed white squares / trapezoids on the top along with 4 to match on the top of the larger potion of the clapboard. I do not want to eye it as it will be a part of a logo.
 
What would be the best method to use?Is there a way to draw the 4 rectangles on top of a perfectly horizontal long black rectangle and skew the white dashes at the same time?Is there a way to skew based on the dimensions of the longer black rectangle?

Paint.NET :: How To Overlap Two Images

Mar 3, 2011

I am trying to overlap two images but one is really dominating visually and is also really busy. I'd like to 'fog out' the dominating picture without losing a lot of information from it. I think making the colors less vivid would enhance the colors of the other image, but maybe there's more I can do? The images are biological and I am working on a potential scientific journal cover page, so I can't just remove things or distort to the point where it is cartoonish. I know nothing about image processing, so I feel like I'm probably complete unaware of simple methods that could do amazing things I was unaware of above and beyond just toning down contrast or saturation.
