View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make some command which allows me to easily scale blocks.
I've this
BlockReference br = (BlockReference)obj as BlockReference; br.ScaleFactors = new Scale3d(0.5, 0.5, 1);
Everything is ok, lines, circles, etc. in block are scalling correctly.
But I have problem with attributes (look at the image) - attributes are not scaling and their position are not correct.
Simple command ("scale") is working OK
Scaling - for some reason the image get distorted after scaling. see example:
Each time I scale it'll do it differently. this time it made the right side thicker.
Alignment - the bounding box has offset and when aligning it doesn't align the objects right:
I was just notified I am supposed to show a small class how to make our company title blocks using attributes and what annotative scaling is and how to use it. videos or related forums so I can set up something to show tomorrow morning. We are going to be setting up our block library and setting up our title blocks. Should this be done using templates for each paper size?

can't find any control to draw image at ADM dialog.
All I need is just render a picture from png or jpeg file or from memory on a top half of ADM dialog and CS4 SDK.
I suppose I have to use IADMDrawer, ADMImageSuite...
I have a “PART” block with attributes tags “PARTMARK” and “SHEAREDFROM” inserted 5 to 10 times in 10 to 50 drawings.
The “PARTMARK” value is always a unique number entered in autocad.The “SHEAREDFROM” value is calculated in Excel and exported to a “SHEARED.txt” file.
In each “PART” block I need to replace the “SHEAREDFROM” value based on the unique “PARTMARK” value, using a script that uses (or incorporates) the values from the “SHEARED.txt” file.
So far the only solution I’ve come up with is having a unique value for the “SHEAREDFROM” and –attedit to change the values in a script. However if the script doesn’t encounter a "K20-1S" in the first drawing it errors out and doesn’t proceed to the next. Below is an example of my rudimentary script.
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-1S" "K20-1S" "8-60x192")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-2S" "K20-2S" "2-60x144")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-3S" "K20-3S" "2-60x132")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-4S" "K20-4S" "4-60x120")
(command "-attedit" "n" "n" "PART" "SHEAREDFROM" "K20-5S" "K20-5S" "0.7-60x120")
I’m assuming I need LISP to do this, but my LISP skills are limited. I think I would need a setq for each unique shearedfrom value (setq K20-1S (“8-60x192”))? Then somehow search each drawing for the unique shearedfrom value to replace.?
I have been using Coreldraw for a few years now but I have never had a problem with scaling images. I created a circle and added some shapes to it. There is spacing between the shapes and the circle and they do not touch each other. When the image is at page size and it looks fine. But when I scaled it down using the shift key the shapes in my images touch the side of the circle and the spacing is gone. This is not what I want. There needs to be spacing between the shapes and the circle. I have included a sample of what I am talking about. How to make Coreldraw scale images properly?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is interpolation when scaling images in Gimp? it is under quality. I see there are None, Linear, Cubic, & Sinc (Lanczos 3)... what are these and which one is the best one?? and does it matter which one e.g. are they all the same?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've imported an image into gimp, I then have imported another image using File open as layers.
Once this second image is imported it's obviously far too large, I want it to easily sit within the first image.
However when I right click > image > scale image it alter's both of them at once. It does this whether I have both images showing or not.
When I shrink an image, the result seems to be distorted.
I have an image 850x850.
I go: Menu > Image > Scale Image > and set height and width to 306 px
I get the same error no matter what scaling algorithm I use.
See images below, the one scaled by the GIMP has the black circle noticeable shifted to the right hand side. The white gap between the red and the black circles is 6 px on the LHS and it is 3 px on the RHS (measured at the widest part of the circles) . To compare, I have also scaled the image using another image manipulation program (IrfanView) - it scales it properly.

Is there any setting that you think I may have set incorrectly to get this problem? (Under the View menu, I don't have any "snap to..." checked.)
The test source file is the scaleBug.xcf attachment.

New Responsive Scaling feature is great.
It's enabled me to add an Edge Animate file to my responsive Wordpress site using the Edge Suite Plugin.
Only problem for me is that although the 3.7MB file I’ve created scales perfectly on all devices it struggles to play on smartphones. (I assume it's too big and too power hungry to play smoothly on smartphones - even since I've added a pre-loader.)
So, in an ideal world, what I need is a separate low res Edge Animate file that only plays on smartphones.
Failing that, I’d be happy with a 'Down-level Stage' image which could replace the Edge Animate animation.
For a moment I thought I’d found a solution when I came across this Adobe TV movie: [URL]
Unfortunately this clever solution only works when the new Responsive Scaling feature is NOT selected. As soon as it is selected, the animation no longer changes from one layout size to another when the browser window is reduced.
I don’t mind whether the fix is in Edge Animate, Wordpress or the Edge Suite Plugin - I just want a solution!
My goal is to replace the top magazine cover (Needlework) in the following image.How do you embed the the 2nd image to fit a spefiic area in the 1st image. I have tried using the ctrl-t function and still is not fitting exactly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy knowledge (lack of, really) with content aware scaling is that 1st you create a new layer of the background and then rescale accordingly. I did the following: -
1- Created a 2nd layer
2- used quick selection tool on my main subject ( a person) and named it.
3- deselected the selection
4- Edit menu --> Content aware scale
5- resized it to something smaller (chose my previous named selection channel).
6- Pressed "Enter"
The result is that I can now see 2 images; the smaller sitting on the larger. What now? All I want is the smaller image. If I throw away the original layer what I end up is the new layer with the white and gray default background showing as part of the image (which ends up being printed as well or if saved looking as is with the grey-white. Is what I should do the obvious--cut out via cropping the un-needed (gray-white) part?
I have been given an incomplete plan view of a site with access roads and have been asked to extend the roads to meet up with a main road off site. Not having any survey points I figure the most accurate thing to do was to screenshot a Google map image, import it into my drawings and trace it. I'm struggling to scale the map image to my existing drawings.
The problem I'm having is when i click the image to scale, it obscures the view of the drawing, so I can't see anything to reference. Is there a way to make the image transparent? Or to have it permanently at the back.
I have used paint.net for small photo touch-ups of my daughters. But now I'm starting a small business and actually starting to use more tools.
I had our logo done by a graphic designer and to save on money I am doing the layouts for ads, flyers, business cards etc. When I copy our logo into a new layer it is super big compared to my canvas size. I cant seem to figure out a way to scale it down in ratio. When I click on the corners it allows me to scale down, but not to ratio. When I select image-resize (Ctrl+R) and do a percentage it cuts off portions of the logo or select by absolute size it wants to change my canvas size.
Artwork becoming deformed after scaling or moving it?
I attached a screenshot of a piece of clipart that I scaled down twice with the original showing on top. You can see in the art in the middle position that it's been changed while the original size and smallest size seem to be fine. They are all the same, copy, pasted and rezied.
It's happening very often, and once it does I end up having to re-import or redraw the art.
how line art changes when scaling object in AI CC? For example I have a logo file to deliver to client that doesn't have the font. In AI CS6 and below you can hold the shift key and resize objects smaller and keep the shape's intergrity. I've noticed in AI CC that resizing fonts converted to paths smaller does not hold the characters shape as well as previous versions of Illustrator. I understood the industry practice of converting fonts to paths as the last thing to do prior to shipping out a design to production. But what happens to logo files that get sent out to clients/vendors, for these files it is paramount to keep the shape intact.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI know, I know. This question has been asked a million times already. Unfortunately the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid / Snap to pixel grid tip doesn't work for me. When I scale the image down to tiny proportions, the path becomes horribly, sickeningly distorted. It certainly seems like the pixels are being snapped to some kind of grid, but as you can see in the screenshot, the option is disabled. I tried switching between RGB and CMYK with no luck but I havent messed with the document profile past that. I am not yet ready to spend another few hours recreating the image.
I am using Illstrator CS6. Everything except the "web studio" is a path.
How could this happen? I tried to scale a logo down to fit a stamp and Illustrator destroys it by distorting the paths.
This is the original logo
And this is what Illustrator does with it when i scale it down. (Image is scaled to same size to better illustrate the distortion)
Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to scale text inside a text box so that the text and box scale together proportionately? Not using the scale tool where you have to enter percentages, but using a keystroke. In Quark, you can do this by holding down Command + Shift and dragging the box. This will make the text and box bigger keeping the same dimensions. It's a very quick and easy way of changing the size of your text.
