Illustrator :: How To Rearrange Or Remove Tools In Tools Panel
Apr 15, 2012There seems to be way too many tools in the tools panel for me. Many of them I will rarely, if ever use. Is there any way I can rearrange or remove some of them? It would unclutter the screen immensely.

Feb 1, 2012I have an interactive board with tools (such as pen or eraser) which I want to integrate with the AI. The typical scenario woulld be as follows: the user lifts the pen from the tray, the pen event will me mapped into selecting Pencil Tool from AI toolbar after which the user can add freehand annotations to the AI document.
Is there an API which would allow me to map abailable hardware tools with relevant AI tools? Is there an example which would demonstrate such integration?
Illustrator :: Filling A Space
Mar 24, 2014I am doing maps. Bodies of water need to be shaded, i.e., filled with a background. The current problem involves coast lines. I have two bodies of water to "shade" -- Pacific Ocean off California and the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico.
I enclosed the Pacific Ocean segment by using straight lines at right angles to intersect the coastline. Use the Paint bucket and no problem. When I go to the same, i.e., enclose the northern part of the Gulf of California by using a straight line across the the gulf enclosing it Illustrator gives grief. Sometime one error message, sometime another, sometimes nothing. I am told to select the paths enclosing the space I want to "Live Paint". I do it, but no joy.
Illustrator :: Filling A Stroke With White
Mar 19, 2014I want to produce a white image of a stag without a background. I traced the image and have it rendered with a path using the stroke tool. You can see the stroke selected below.
My goal is to remove the green circle in the background and save the white stag only. Right now the stroke is not filled -- the white color is the transparent background. This is what the image looks like in Illustrator without the background and no color applied to the stroke.
Of course if I deselect the stroke, the object disappears, and when I save it, there's nothing visible. My goal is to print a white stag on a green T-shirt. Do I need to convert the stroke object to something else, then apply a fill? I don't know how to proceed.
Illustrator :: Expanding Objects With A Filling?
Jul 23, 2013I wonder of there is a way to expand objects with a filling, without creating the outside lines of the swatches you made to create an filling.
I add a printscreen... The first F is the filling, the second is an outline view of the expanded filling and the last one i wanna create. The way i create is, deleting the squares and use pathfinder but it take a lot time to do.
Illustrator :: Filling Text Art With Gradient Or Pattern
Oct 4, 2012I'm trying to fill some existing arts (path, text, compound) with a just created gradient or a pattern loaded in the swatch..To achieve that I'm trying to change the path style:
GetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
pathArtStyle.strokePaint = false;
pathArtStyle.fillPaint = true;
pathArtStyle.fill.color.kind = kGradient;
pathArtStyle.fill.color.c.b.gradient = myGradient;
SetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
This works for kPathArt,but nothing happens for kTextFrameArt or kCompoundPathArt.
I also tried to program the procedure "How to Fill Text with a Pattern or Gradient in Adobe Illustrator" described for illustrator UI, w/o success.I have similar problem when trying to create a clipping using SetGroupClipped() while the clipping path is a text or compound. No clipping is done.
Illustrator :: Outlining / Filling In Multiple Shapes As One?
Mar 17, 2014My basic goal is to fill this overall flower shape with a colour - its made up of individual outlines. Is there a way I can either fill the whole object with a colour, or somehow make a singular outline of the overall shape of the flower. Dont want to use the pen tool t9o make a quiock outline because I want it to be exact to the lines i've already got. I know I could go and delete sections out and join parts together but I was wondering if there is a quicker trick to this that I'm just not aware of?

Illustrator :: Filling Objects With Texture Images - Transparency?
Jun 14, 2012I'm drawing some illustrations and want to fill overlapping objects with a paper texture. I have done this using the Transparency window and placing a paper texture image over each object. The problem is that where the objects overlap to create the whole picture, they are quite transparent and so you get the effect of layers of tissue paper. I want each object to look completely opaque, but despite opacity being set to 100% on each object, they don't.
I've tried filling the objects with lighter / darker paper texture images and tweaking the Transparency settings to Darker / Ligher / Soft or hard light, etc.

Oct 29, 2012I created a pattern in illustrator, and then I created an object, and I wanted to fill half of the object with the pattern, so I used a clipping mask to do this.. however, now when i try to group everything together, the clipping mask in released and the pattern spills all over the artbaord... when i try to copy and paste into a new document, everything is pasted as white instead. When i try to merge the layers, the clipping mask is released...
How to keep the clipping mask from releasing.. Also, I tried rasterizing but that doesn't work either and it makes my shapes all rough and choppy!

I can hold down the alt key and click on the icon (tool) and it switches but it doesn't have the drop down menu when I right click on it. I'm sure this is something simple and I've searched the web for a similar issue but nothing related is coming up.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Changing Tools On The Tool Bar?
Oct 9, 2012So in Photoshop when I select a tool on the toolbar and right-click it, I am given a menu of "sub" tools to choose from. In Illustrator, however, the same does not happen. I can select the tool on the toolbar, but right-clicking has no effect on those tools that appear to have sub-tools available (indicated, I thought, by the little corner triangle in the icon, just like Photoshop). Alt-clicking, alt-right-clicking, shift-clicking, ctl-clicking, nothing seems to work.
How do I, for instance, switch from the rectangle tool to the rounded rectangle tool (if there is one)? And how do I see which sub-options are available under those tools that have the little triangle?
