When purchasing AI CS6 I was told that I'd be able to export vector only drawings as DXF files. How to do this starting at the very beginning. I've used CAD programs for years and also have experience with Corel Draw however to date most of what I've found posted on the internet having to do with AI dxf export tells me people have difficulty doing this and even when they can the results are messy. I realize AI produced drawings may need to be optimized to reduce the number of points but aside from this any way, from the very beginning including where to look for the necessary commands .
I need to output an illustrator file to a 10x10 rasterized jpg. but when I output it as a jpeg it ends up being 1502x1502 (which is 8x8 inches unless I am wrong?) The image is a series of patterns which needs to end up being 10x10.
Its really annoying that I cant change the output settings when I save for web something. I just want to tell Illustrator that I dont want to create a new images folder everytime I save something, and I dont want to add a _N at the end of the file name...
Is there a way to change this?, I couldnt find it.
If the "Output to Swatches" feature is still available in Illustrator CS6 (image trace options)? The online help states that it should be but it's not there anymore.. URL....
The prepping process should be really simple right? Separate colour layers, using Illustrator, then print each layer onto transparency sheets. Well I'm about to loose my mind.
The image is CMYK, its a single spot colour (I think) which is red and the outlines are black. Printer is a Canon ix6500.
I can't seem to separate the colours in Illustrator CS3?! Why?! When selecting Print > Output > Mode > it won't allow me to select Colour Separations.
I've tried to overcome this by selecting Printer > Adobe Postscript and PPD > Canon ix6500 series. This allows me to select Colour Separations, but then it won't print, it only saves it as a PDF, and prints it as is.
Essentially, I need to crop some work to the artboard. I've read about export option but I need this design to import into Flash. My instructor will not permit anything but vector drawings. I can't export to any sort of raster format or pdf. Ideally, it needs to remain as an ai file. When I do the import from Flash, it keeps everything outside the bounds of the artboard (highlighted in red on my screenshot).
This is a group project. I didn't do this drawing, I just wanted to add the perspective lines to the floor. Now it's a bit of an untidy mess when it goes to Flash. And Illustrator is not my strong point. I did try unsuccessfully to "erase", Scissor, knife and a few other things but I really don't know how those tools work. I also tried the clipping mask approach but it didn't want to combine my rectangle "mask" with the lines on the floor.
The code works to collect fonts in an open Illustrator document. The issue I am having is that it only collects one font. Or sometimes it will collect a whole font family. But I haven't been able to get it to collect all of the fonts in the document.
function getUsedFonts (doc){ var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString), fontFamily = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFamily"), fontFace = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFace"), ln = fontFace.length(), i = 0, arr = [];
In older versions of Illustrator (8 & 10) I can change the lpi to a 20 or 30 with a GCC Elite XL printer and have no problem printing BIG dots on vellum paper for screen printing on T-shirts.
I'm running newer version (CS2) now, and I can set the halftone to 20 lpi, but when I print it to my HP 5si mx printer, it comes out looking as smooth as a paper printed dot can look! Not what I want!! I've tried changing all kind of settings, both on the printer menu, and in the print dialog box. But my HP seems to default to an 'enhanced' halftone dot!!! My GCC is getting really old, only has drivers for 8 & 10, and I need a back up in case it dies someday and I can't print those big dots anymore!
I can't update to newer (600 or 1200dpi) printers because I need to print at 300dpi so my dots come out looking big and bold. I know, I know, it's not what most people want these days, but it's what I n
I need to output dashed paths to a 3rd party device that will draw/cut those dash marks on material. I have found methods in the AI SDK that describe what the dash marks look like (ie GetPathStyle, etc).
But this requires me to perform all the calculations of where those dash marks actually appear along a path which Illustrator has already done (since it displays those dashes to the screen).
Is there a method(s) that already exists that I can call and it would return me the start and end points of each dash mark that appears on a path? I have started working on the code to do this but can see that it is going to get pretty involved and was hoping that this was already available in the sdk and I just missed it.
A customer sent us their label in an AI file. Trying to print this onto a 3 x 1 label (which is small), the output looks pixelated. Looks like the whole thing is a graphic rather than text.
I have attached an image of the label as an example. **Please note that the label is copyrighted. Please do not re-distribute or otherwise print.**
I am just trying to save a PDF from my illustrator file. However, when I go to Save as, and select PDF, no dialog box opens to allow me to set how I want the file outputted. IF I just hit enter, the file does save.. its just like the Dialog box is hidden or not appearing. The reason I need the dialog box is because I need to add bleeds to the PDF and my default save doesn't do that.
I'm having problems with printing a color seperation. I'm working with CS5 and it won't allow me to print seperations to a pdf-file. I tried to print to an Adobe PostScript file, but also this won't allow me to select the Separations (Host-Based) or In‑RIP Separations Mode as that option is greyed out.
I followed: [URL]
I made sure all colours are in cmyk and already unsuccessfully checked google for solutions, but i'm sure that i'm just missing a simple option.
I am making a holiday greeting card. I have 16 very larged photo images "linked" (not embedded) into the card. The original images are very large (e.g. 4500 x 3000 px, 10mb) but I've placed them fairly small in the final card (only about 2" x 2" printed). Therefore, I likely don't need the full resolution of the original photos. I need to generate a final file that I can send to an online print shop, something that is ideally 10-25Mb in size, probably pdf. How to prepare the final file for export to pdf to generate as such? Right now, the final file is 275Mb because it is embedding the full size of each of the 16 images.
I am very new to 3DS max design and I am having what I hope is a user problem.
There is a single frame I am rendering and wanting to output to a .png file (I want a transparent background).
The output when saving as a jpg is fine. I have a black object and a white background.
The output when saving as a png is not fine. I have no objects and only the transparent background. The thumbnail preview in Windows shows a solid black image, and opening the image in gimp shows only the background - no objects.
I have also tried saving this as a TGA, but it yields the same results as the PNG.
I've some problems with Adobe Brigde, it's the first time using that an I wanna export some photos but I don't have the tool Output or extract (I don't know the excatlly name in English, I'm working with the french version).
I tried with Ctrl+K ->bootscript but I cannot find the Output took inside.
Another problem with Adobe Extention Manager CC, it's impossible to install new extention, I rode the tutorial but it doesn't work, I want to install some brush for exemple.
In creating a video output I am looking for WMV Frame Width 720 Frame Height 480. I have created outputs with WMV HD 720 30p that is 1280 by 720... My issue when I stream that wireless over to my game systems or even my laptop. I am getting lagg. I get no lag on video outputs with WMV 720 by 480. Those video I created with Microsoft MM. I just got VideoStudio and its great! , but my issue I would like to output to WMV 720 by 480 and I do not see that option.
I have been on game forums and wireless forums, and since the WMV 720 by 480 and still working. I am trying to use VS3 to output to that for testing.
My setup is that my game systems and laptop are connected to TV in the house so I stream our events to them for people to see.
WMV HD 720 30p that is 1280 by 720 - is causing the lagg... WMV 720 by 480 - no lagg...
This time I have some problems with the quality of my finished projects. I have tried to burn my project as both DVD and AVCHD. On DVD the quality was really poor with grainy picture.
The AVCHD disc was much better but there was lots of "strobe" in the movie. Especially where I have added transitions and text fields.
My raw video-files is HD video (MTS-files). I also use the proxy tools to make the editing go smoother. I think my computer should handle this without the Roxy, but it doesn't.
I use this settings for my project: Settings --> Project Properties:
Edit File Format: MPEG PAL (25 fps) MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps Lower Field First (DVD-PAL), 16:9
Create Disc --> AVCHD: MPEG files 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 25 fps Lower Field First (HDMV-PAL), 16:9 H.264 Video Video data rate: Variable (Max. 16000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Create Disc --> DVD: MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps Lower Field First (DVD-PAL), 16:9 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Is it possible to edit a video, and have the output format, frame rate, etc r3epeat the input? So edit scenes etc, but not alter the quality from input.
I am working on a simple video with two (3 second) overlay video clips. In the preview window everything looks great. After compressing the overlay clips shrink in height revieling the top & bottom of the main clip. If I over-stretch the overlay clips they still shrink down. I have gotten it to work once (don't know why) but that rendering the audio dropped off when the overlay started and never came back. That's a separate issue.
I saw where one person trying to solve a different issue mentioned to streach the overlay clip by the corners only? Is that important? I also tried turning on and off the "stretch to fit" option. I am not seeing a patern? I have also tried keeping the aspect ration on and off but that does not seem to give consistant results. I am sure it is a combination of some type.
Main clip:
Data rate: 9421 kbps Video: Windows Media Video 9 24 bit, 1920x1080, 29.970 frames/sec Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1.00
Overlay clips:
Data rate: 1309 kbps Video: Windows Media Video 9 24 bit, 1280x720, 25 frames/sec Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1.00
I have a project with a number of mpg files in it. These mpg files were created using X3 from mts files.
I have done this many, many times. I created an mpg a few weeks ago without problems. Now, all of a sudden, I try to make the same mpg files and the exported video will stutter in places. It doesn't matter how many times I render the same project, the video stutters in the same exact spot. Like I said, I've done this many, many times and never had this problem.
what may have changed or been installed on my computer recently to cause this? I even reinstalled X3 with no luck.
Is there a way that you can convert a 4.3 import to a 16.9 output? I have imported a musical from a disc which is recorded in 4.3. I would like to output this as a widescreen video. I have tried putting in on the overlay track which gives a better output result but still has the borders each side.
I recently upgraded from VS Pro X4 to VS Pro X5 and was shocked to see that there is no option to output a project to FLV under '3 Share > Create Video File'. Is this a feature removal or am I cursed with a defective copy of VS Pro X5?
As you can see in the screen above, the option (which was located at the bottom of the menu in VS Pro X4) is absent in VS Pro X5.
I am using Corel Video Studio Pro X4, I have asked the below questions previously, so far there has not been a solution. It appears Corel do not have any way to contact them when there is a problem
I chose this programme over Cyberlink Power Director as it had the 5.1 mixer and 3D capabilities. I now find Power Director Ultra 10 now has the 3D Capability, the 3D works very well, but no 5.1 mixer only a pesudo type 5.1 sound, the programme itself looks to be excellent quality.
Should there be no solution to my above problems, then the only choice I have is to use Power Director, a pity.

Nowadays, MP4 is widely used video format in our daily life and slowly it became the best popular video format. For some DIY lovers, It believes that you always edit your movies using a video editor like Sony Platinum Suite, Magi Movie Edit Pro Plus and Corel Video Studio Pro, etc. to make a your own style video.
Really happened, I am also a DIY lover and I always to edit my video with Corel Video Studio Pro X6 for playback on my portable device or burn movie to DVD. For example, I am an office worker and I always take much time on my way to work. So I rip the DVD to MP4 on Mac and then edit it with Video Studio Pro X6 for a better enjoyment.
Now let’s cut to the chase! It is really a big and exacting Serendipity. Yesterday I rip and convert my DVDs to my Mac computer and then edit it with my Corel Video Studio Pro X6. To my surprise, Seven minutes HD mp4 video, it just takes 9 minutes to output it. Then suddenly I got an idea, have a test with the entire popular video editor and Make a comparison.
After the test，I found that The same material, the same color and then same configuration，Corel Video Studio Pro X6 is obviously faster than Magi Movie Edit Pro Plus, Premiere CC、EDIUS7.0 and Vegas12, etc. Then I Immediately the video to my MOTOROLA ME865 SD CARDS and then play it with my smartphone, it is very smooth; then I copy the video to my U disk, and inserted it into my hisense flat-panel TV, it works well, too.
Seven minutes of hd MP4, the volume is 592 MB, and then a minute within 100 m on average, that is, an ordinary DVD, hd can hold 45 minutes MP4, convenient to keep the family film. The Conclusion is that ulead video studio has a bright spot, the new version of their X6 version described output hd MP4 has unique advantage! That’s all!
I have been told my a printhouse that my designs in photoshop need to be submitted as vectors and saved as an .eps file. So I saved my psd design as an eps file but they said that it wasn't correct.
I have since been informed by them that I need to my pixel graphics into curves, even the text. They suggested that CorelTrace would be able to trace my design with curves. Is there any way that this can be done in CS2? The design is quite simple, a few stripes and some text.
