I'm a hobbyist model builder, and I'm starting my first, homemade model. It's going to be a miniature of Wimbeldon's famed centre court. While, the object is not to make an exact miniature version of the real thing, I would like to make it as accurate as possible.
That said, I need to create a sketch (see examples @ [URL) based on real pictures of the stadium. Is there a way to do this using Illustrator? I've tried the various trace options, but nothing even comes close to accomplishing this. I hampered by my inability to draw freehand and my lack of experience with CAD programs.

I downloaded the blueprints for a Cobra Helicopter, and the side and front blueprints are not lining up correctly at all. I am not sure if this may be an issue with the actual blueprints themselves, or something I may be doing incorrectly.

Here are the blueprints I am using, I cropped both the front and side blueprints from the top and bottom most point. [URL]

I have the trial of LR5 and I trid now to geotag my pictures. To do so, I convert the .gpx file to xmp with geosetter. The XMP are created but when I import them into LR, the GPS position is not imported. But If I embed the GPS info into the raw files (cr2) the position is imported but I'd like to keep the raw file untouched so this is why I use the XMP.
When I try to "update metadata" it's not working.
how can I make lightroom to read the xmp files on import ?

I've been using Illustrator CC from the cloud on Mac OS 10.6.8 fine for months and today after Placing some jpegs into my document it's stopped letting me place anything! I can't even re-link the images that are already there. I've also tried to make a new document.
when trying to make several objects to have the same size. In freehand I used mark several pictures and I could just put Hight and Width in the respective fields...all pics had the same size. In Illustratur, if you mark several pics, the size field will only show the collective size of all pics. I know about "object frames" which are not of use for me.

Most of the time I got issue with placed pictures that I have to take a lot of time to do it one by one, so I am looking for any action to peform in bulk as follow:
1. Select all pictures and change their 'Placment Options' 2. Replace all pictures with only one same picture 3. Cancel the repacement at once (if you select 100 pictures to relink, then you decide to cancel you'll have to press Esc 100 times too!)
I tried to create action for Placement Options too, but seems that the action cannot be recorded with such activity.Are all these improved in CS6?

I've been creating charts in Excel 2004 for Mac for years and copying them into Illustrator. They have always previously pasted into Illustrator as vectors illustrations. I've created hundreds of charts in Excel before and copied them to Illustrator to "dress them up" for reports with no problems. I just created a chart in Excel 2004 for Mac and copied it to Illustrator and it came in as a picture. This is the first time I have ever had this happen with an Excel chart.

I am making a collage for a friend. I have all the pictures I want that I edited from photoshop and brought into illustator. I made an outline of a buffalo (he is from buffalo) using the pen tool. I filled it in with pictures but i need to know how to trim away the remainders of the pictures that go past the buffalo outline. Basically i need to delete everything that is outside the vector buffalo, but i am having a terrible time figuring this out. Im not sure if i need the trim away tool, draw inside or something else.
I think their version is illustrator 3 - not CS3 ..All I want is to convert them to JPG, the problem is that the program I'm using to convert them doesn't recognize them, though it recognizes regular ai files.
So, Is there a way to convert them to a newer version of AI, and then I use the program to convert to JPG, or maybe directly get them converted to JPG.

I have several .Ai files, (each containing a single artboard of the same size), which I would like to convert into a single .Ai files with several artboard.
Basically, I wanted to convert a .cdr file (with several pages) (Corel Draw 15) into an .Ai file. The issue was, when I tried exporting the .cdr file to an .ai file, I got nothing. My 300MB file was reduced to a 2KB file in Illustrator leaving me with nothing. So I had to export each page into a separate .ai file and now I have several .ai files with a single artboard which I need to convert into one!
