Illustrator :: Firefox Drag And Drop Image To AI CS6 - Displaces Art On Artboard
May 24, 2013When dragging and dropping an image from FF 20/21 into AI CS6, it forces elements on the art board to be displaced.The image dragged into the app will plop into the middle of the art board, and anything in the file just gets moved.
Where it gets moved to is inconsistent- but it appears to always move on a diagonal.

Illustrator :: Offset Path Random Shape
Jul 4, 2013I'm doing an offset path command on a random shape and I need to repeat that in 4mm increments. I noticed that this command is far from accurate. To be as precise as possible I copy the base shape, paste it in front, apply the offset path command +4mm, +8mm etc (since the shape has round edges I chose round and a miter of 5000), and expand appearance. However, at 8mm expansion the round curves become pointy curves and therefore not mimicking the original shape.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Copy And Move Bezier Shape
Apr 11, 2013I've created a bezier shape by setting pen to shape mode, set no fill, set stroke and stroke color. as descibed by posteer "Conroy" in a different thread.
I succedded in following an existing line (in a psd document) making one wavey line much heavier by using a bezier shape that fit it using the above settings.
Now I want to copy and move that shape over another faint line to make it much more visible in the same way.
In the inlined image the heavy wavy line on viewers right is the bezier shape made as described. I want to copy it and paste it over the other wavy line on the viewers left... you can see how faint it is.... I could think of no better way to make them heavier and more visible.
I'm not finding a handy way to copy paste the heavy shape/line. How can that be done.
Is there a better way to do this from the start... that is, make the faint lines in psd document heavier and more visible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Padding When Fitting Artboard To A Shape?
Nov 4, 2013I could have sworn a while back that I had stumbled across an option within Illustrator (I'm currently using CC) to specify a certain amount of "padding" to leave around an object when cropping it. I can't recall if I saw this in the Artboard settings, in the Save For Web settings or somewhere else - if at all. Is this possible within Illustrator. In other words, if I draw a shape and want to crop the artboard to fit the dimensions of the shape, plus leave an extra 25px of padding around the shape.

2nd solution : Create new document with the same number of layers as artboard and duplicate layer to the new artboard on the new document.

Dec 24, 2012What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!

View 3 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Copy Artboard -> Objects Slightly Moved
Jun 22, 2011When i copy an artboard, sometimes the objects on both the original and the duplicate artboard have slightly moved. See sreenshots below what i mean (you have to look closely).
The right artboard was copied to the left by alt-dragging the artboard. This happens to me a lot, but not all the time, i can't really predict when it happens... At first i thought it came by an accidental mouse click or something, but the strange thing is that after the copy the objects slightly moved on both artboards.
Illustrator :: Rearrange Artboards And Move Hidden Artwork With Artboard As Well?
Nov 16, 2013Is it possible to use the "Rearrange Artboards" option in the Artboards flyout menu and also move not only the artboard itself but also the hidden artwork (layers, objects, etc.) on that artboard?
I have tried check-marking the "Move Artwork with Artboard" option, but that still does not move the hidden artwork. The default behavior seems to be that only the active or visible artwork is moved along with the artboard, but the hiddden artwork is left behind somewhere on the workspace where the artboard used to be before it was moved.
I find this a little cumbersome, since I often hide artwork that I'm testing and having to make them all visible again to just move them with the artboard would break the dinstinction between all the many very similar layers, objects, etc. that I might be working with at a given time.
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Duplicate Artboard And Move It Relative To Original
Oct 23, 2013Basically, I have an open AI document and would like to duplicate its artboard and then move it to a new position(X axis, 50pixels away from the original). Doesn't seem too hard, but I can't figure it out. This is for CS5.
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var abSrc = docRef.artboards[0];
var abSrcX = abSrc.artboardRect[0];
[Code]...
Taking that into account if I add (1224 + 144) to abSrcX and abSrxW it creates another artboard 2" away from the previous at 17" x 11". If I want to run it again, I just to add (1224 + 144) to abSrcX and abSrxW again. Now to figure out how to do this dynamically on the fly.
Illustrator :: Drag A New Symbol Instance To Artboard And Resize The Instance Alignment With Pixel Grid

This happens despite the fact that...
I checked the box for pixel grid alignement when I created the documentthe symbol option is set for align to pixel gridthe original shape in the symbol is aligned to pixel grindthe original shape has the align to pixel grid check box in the transform panel checked
So why when I resize the symbol instance does it break the pixel grid alignmnet and result in a blurred 1px stroke?

Illustrator :: How To Make Arbitrarily-shaped Selection Of Objects
Jun 29, 2013I have a grid of objects—say, tiny squares. I'd like to make arbitrarily-shaped selections of those objects—for instance, select a star-shaped group of the squares. Or a circle-shaped group of the squares. Or use text paths to select letter-shaped groups of the squares.
I could imagine a utility that lets me choose an arbitrary shape/path, and then turn that into a selection of objects on the canvas. Is this possible?
Right now I'm stuck using the lasso tool to hand-draw shape selections but it's not accurate enough for what I need to do.

View 21 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Copy / Move And Paste Into Different Layer
Nov 12, 2013I have a script that measures the repeat interval and gap between print impressions printed using a print cylinder (for the production team to know which print cylinders to use, and what to expect once it prints, when looking at the proof sheet). Basically it just measures the distance from the beginning of one print impression to the beginning of the next (these are printed with a cylinder, so every time the cylinder rotates a new print impression happens) as well as the distance in between prints. That part works great.
In order to get these meaurements, Illustrator is measuring the distance from a zero point on the artboard to the left side of a marker I made called "repeat", and it is assigned a variable called rawRepeat. What I'd like to do is have the script take that rawRepeat value and use it to move a copy of the print impression to the right by exactly that variable amount and paste it beneath the marker called "repeat". I have been doing this part manually, but haven't been able to figure out how to get illustrator to do this for me.
Here's the script I am using:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var selectedObject = myDocument.selection;
var activeLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
var layerName = activeLayer.name;
activeLayer.name = "plate";
