Illustrator :: Quickly Straighten Lines Or Remove Multiple Points Of A Line?

Jul 22, 2012

I am studying for an MSc in Geology and am doing seismic mapping. To tidy up my maps I exported them to ArcGIS so I could join various ones together and also contour the maps. Then I exported the GIS maps into illustrator so I could attempt to smooth some of the contours as they are extremely jaggedy due to the nature of the data.Is there a way to quickly smooth lines or mass delete points that make up the lines?I am asking because I have 30+ maps and each map has maybe 50lines with each line being made up of currently about 1000 points each...
 
If I can't find a solution I will probably end up drawing over the contours with the pen tool and just smoothing it that way, as it should be a lot faster then deleting so many points.
 
I am currently using Illustrator CS5 and have access to CS4.

AutoCad :: Breaking Multiple Lines Using Cross Line

Oct 7, 2010

How do you break multiple lines along a line?

I.e. you have ten horizontal lines 3m long and one vertical line running down the center of the 3m lines. I need to break the horizontal lines in two where they touch the vertical line without having a line smaller then 1.5m.

On a single line I can do it using the F command and clicking twice on the intersection but is it possible to select multiple lines ant the same time and use the crossing line to cut along?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Multiple Lines Attribute To Single Line Attributes?

Jun 27, 2013

I have a block which includes some Multiple lines attributes.

Now I don't want them to be multiple lines any more.

How can I change them to single line attribute?

In the block editor, the "Multiple lines" in the properties palette is gray out. I have create single line attribute and replace the multiple line attributes one by one.

Why don't make the Multiple lines property editable? This problem is since Multiple line attribute first time introduced.

Interesting thing is single line attributes can easily changed to multiple line attributes through the properties palette!

Photoshop :: How Do I Keep Multiple Text Lines In A Single Layer?

Mar 14, 2005

How do I create multiple lines of text in a single layer. Everytime I finish with a line and want to go to the next, I hit 'Enter', but that completes the text. If I click on the layer image again, then it creates another layer.

So basically if I have 10 lines of text, I end up with 10 layers of text as well. Needless to say, this becomes to much trouble if I have to center each line of text and add blending options to 10 layers instead of one.

Illustrator :: Creating Multiple Gradients On The Same Object?

Mar 14, 2013

I am trying to apply multiple gradients to a leaf, or to any other object for that matter.  Along the protruding edges I would like to apply a short gradient that points inward. I would like to repeat this gradient to every protruded edge, but each gradient would have to be manipulated independently. I have tried to do this using the Appearance Panel, by duplicating the fill. This works just fine but because the gradients are on different layers I can only see one gradient at a time, no way to see them all together.
 
The pic below is just an example, the colors/design are irrelevent.
 
When I try to move the gradient itself it seems to always jump back to where I picked it up, I can't place it exactly where I would like. As well, how can I control the wide of the gradient? As you can see in the pic, the protruding edges are quite narrow so the gradient should cover just that portion of the leaf.

CorelDRAW X4 :: Creating Document With Same Background But Different Pics And Text On Multiple Images

Apr 16, 2011

I'm creating a large document with the same background but different pics and text on the multiple pages. I want to create a background that is not a bitmap but is still vector and that I can edit, that will automatically come up with each new page. And the kicker is that if I change one thing to the background, it will auto populate the change to the rest of the document.

The background consists of a title, a company logo, some solid fill text and pic areas. So for instance if I wanted to change the background color from green to blue I don't want to have to go to each page and change it individually.

Illustrator :: Creating Bleeds For Multiple Objects On Same Page?

Nov 2, 2013

Is there an easy way to create bleeds and trim marks for multiple objects on the same page?
 
For instance, I have a playing card that I've tiled across the page 6 times ( so that I can create 6 cards out of 1 page ).  Each card needs it's own bleed/trim marks.
 
I'd also like to have printer registration marks for the page, as I have to print the card backings on another page and then glue the two pages together.
 
The only way I've found that I can do this is to manually create the trim marks for each object's bleed and just have them all within 1 artboard.
 
I tried doing it with multiple artboards within one larger artboard, but couldn't get that to work.
 
Is this something that just needs to be manually done?

Illustrator Scripting :: Creating Dialog Consisting Of Multiple Buttons

Apr 24, 2013

I want to create a dialog consisting of multiple buttons. As a result I want value which button was pressed by user.
 
The script (shortened to problematic part):
 
// I'm looping through elements on layer 'warstwa' from kolorStart to kolorStop, 'k' is used for number buttons

for (i = kolorStart, k = 0; i <= kolorStop; k++, i++) {
myButton[k] = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, warstwa.pageItems[i].contents);
myButton[k].label = warstwa.pageItems[i].contents;
myButton[k].onClick = function () { wybranyKolor = myButton[k].label; myWindow.close(); }
}
 
The result:

But buttons don't work, wybranyKolor returning 'undefined'. If I change "wybranyKolor =  myButton[k].label" to "wybranyKolor =  myButton[k-1].label" I get proper answer but it is the same for all buttons so it looks that all buttons have the same action assigned. How to get each button to has unique name which can be passed to variable?
 
Probably I can achieve the same with radio buttons' list but with buttons it is one click less for the user.

Is there a way of forcing Illustrator to draw a line between those figures, as it's just leaving a gap in the graph at the moment.
