Illustrator :: Edit Star After Creation
May 18, 2012
I've created a star with the star tool, but I wish to edit the number of points and the radius. It seems like once you create the shape, you can't go back and edit it, you have to create an entire new star. Seems silly that I would have to count how many points I had before and create an entire new star. It should be easy to just select the star and be able to add or subtract points and change the radius, just like when creating a new one, just off of the already created star. I have tried and can't seem to get it to work.

In LDDT, I was able to create points and manually assign a point number.
I know in Civil 3D 2013, i can assign a point number also by changing a toggle under Point Creation Tools to False.
My problem is that everytime I close out of that box and get back in, it reverts the toggle back to TRUE so I have to keep changing it back to False as well as the Next Point Number. In the above example, the Next Point Number should be 1147 (which is after my manually created point 1146) but it keeps going back to 33 which is the next available number after #1.

I have a path that's coming out from an arbitrary angle, and I want a star at the end of the line, but perfectly centered so that the line bisects one of its inner arrows, if that makes sense.
I've made a separate star and a separate path, but I can't seem to hand-align it correctly.

I'am using illustrator CC but while using the star tool, instead of being drawn while being dragged by the tip or the outer radius, my star is getting dragged from the inner radius. The problem does not occur when dragging while holding the alt key.

[URL] I am trying to find the geometric center of a triangle, star and a pentagon so I can align Group Spokes and cut the shapes. What is Illustrators trick?
I do not want the center of the bounding box. I need the center of the shape. I once had this thread bookmarked for later reference but the link no longer exist.
Centers of triangles. [URL] Ai CS3

I'm trying to catch up with this tutorial: [URL]
But I've got two problems
Firstly: I am trying to draw this shape:[URL]
Now is there anyway to select all those edges and reshape all at the same time to get to that shape drawn in the article (The first photo I have posted) ?
Second problem:
I don't understand this: [URL]
What does the article mean by "Nodes Tool"? It's written there that I should draw a triangle using the polygon tool and then using Nodes tool > Make selected nodes symmetric I will get that shape in the photo above, But I cannot find neither the Nodes tool nor the symmetric nodes option I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC

A client has asked for an advert to be reset for magazine publication. For various reasons I am preparing it in Illustrator CC (mainly that I am more comfortable with Illustrator and it contains some reasonably complex effects and blending options). Anyway the time has come to send it to the printers and I have that heavy feeling that all is not well! The Publisher is asking for a PDF
There are two gradients within the artwork, the entire background is a photograph blending into a Black gradient (the body text sits in white over the black). To get the right effect the black gradient overlay has blending option - Multiply on it and being concerned it may not print propery or have transparency issues I chickened out and justt created one whole background image in PS (photo, gradient and all) and just imported it as a single jpeg back into Illustrator (ensuring I was working in CMYK).
But there is also an outer glow and drop shadow on some white text that sits over the Photograph. Do I need to flatten the image manually before creating the PDF? Or does the creation of the PDF do this for you? When I manually do this it displays correctly providing I tick Preserve Alpha transparency.
I work in Illustrator CC, the publisher has asked for Pass4Press Ver 9, but this preset is for Illustrator CS3. Are there no updates? and indeed does it really matter?

In the extend script documentation it says you can assign a name to UI elements at creation like the example given below
dlg.btnPnl.cancelBtn = dlg.btnPnl.add('button', undefined, 'Cancel',
{name:'cancel'});
but when i do it like that, the bject's name comes out as undefined when accessed like this
dlg.btnPnl.cancelBtn.name
or like this:
dlg.btnPnl.children['name']
but adding the object then naming like this works-
dlg.btnPnl.cancelBtn.name = "Cancel";
I'm using illustrator cc and the extendscript guide for cs6 (couldn't find a newer one). Did the syntax change?

I am trying to access the edit original (edit with) option to edit a photo that has not been edited yet. I right click and go through the edit menu and does not appear or is not available? Would I have to reopen it manual in photoshop or is there a way around this to access that setting? it sometimes does not appear on my already edited photos.
I would prefer not to open each photo again, as some files i do not have and were imported into the document with another computer.

I am wanting to learn how to make the actual iris (including the pupil) of an eye into a star shape.
So that all you would have is the usual eye ball and then a star for the main part of the eye.

When I import files from Photo Mechanic to LR4.1 the star ratingsfro PM show in LR, but when I then export again from LR the star ratings are gone in Photo Mechanic. Obviously I need to tag somewhere in the prefs, problem is I can't find where?

I can't seem to keep my star ratings on my files after I export them to JPG. My export settings are set to keep "All" metadata, but this doesn't seem to change it.

The following is a link to a tutorial creating a diamond effect on a word.
[URl]
At 4:35 into it, the author begins creating the shiny parts of the diamonds by drawing a path, copying it and then rotating the copy ninety degrees.
I'm having trouble just creating that first path the way it's done in the tutorial. First, it says to choose a brush of 17, make sure it's white, then switch to the pen tool and draw a straight white line. However, mine doesn't look like that, how it splays outs. I just get a straight white line. Then, when I try to tranform the copy by rotating it 90 degrees I get an error message saying "Could not rotate because the initial bounding rectangle is empty."

Yesterday one of my friend asked me how to create star with round edge as opposed to pointed edge. Quite fascinated by his challenge I started my beloved CorelDraw and drew a star with 40 spikes at a depth of 10. Since the stars have pointed edge, I used the Filler tool to round-off the sharp edges, I was successful, but the fillet tool also rounded off the lower (inside) node. hence I failed, to create what my friend had challenged.
One option is to create a star, then painfully select only the outer nodes and use the fillet tool to round off the edges. Is there any other easy method of doing the same in CorelDraw.
( My friend apparently uses the rival program Adobe Illustrator and mocks me using CDR )

In movies, photos, etc., a person will have a star burst on their teeth e.g. to show that their teeth are clean, that they are attractive, etc.
How do you create something like this? I have PSP X4.
