Illustrator :: Having Paragraphs At An Angle
Oct 3, 2012
I'd like to create a few paragraphs that have the same treatment as the one I have attached.
The key thing is to have the first letter of the first word of each line line-up under each other so that the left margin creates the appearance of a straight line.
I did the attached having each line in it's own text box, transforming them to an identical angle and then lining them up on the left side.
Is there a way to do this to a whole paragraph? I know I could just transform a whole paragraph to a different angle but the first letter of each line would not line-up with each other and create a straight line.

Is there a shortcut to draw a 45 or 90 degree angle from a drawn line on an angle using the pen tool? ie. Rather than just from the x and y axis.
I trace a lot of maps and site plans.

I am trying to get my paragraph styles to all be uniform. I imported a template and have multiple text boxes on multiple pages. I deleted pretty much all of the paragraph styles to start fresh. But for some reason, the style that I want to use is in text box 1, and then in all the other text boxes it is a different style. I have created a new style but when I click on it when the text is highlighed, it changes, but that one text box doesn't seem to ever match.

I've been playing with the text styles and my text boxes are getting closer to the format that I want. There easy to read in the preview section. But the spaces between paragraphs looks to big, so I want to reduce it.
Corel Draw has a docker for paragraph formatting where we can place spaces above or below a paragraph.

Why does InDesign CS5.5 not justify paragraphs via style sheets setup to do that? And when is Adobe to going to learn about what designers actually do when formatting a book? It's implausible that after all these years they still leave us with so many extra mouse clicks and time wasting searches for things that are very simple to program.

Is there any chance to have Style sets applied to whole paragraphs without having to select all the text?
I'd recommend a button in the styleset list that does "Apply styleset to paragraph" (with the possibility to assign a shortcut to it).

Is there a quick way to rotate an object to match an angle without knowing what the angle is? I am using AutoCAD 2011 now. I was using 2007 and I had an add on command the would rotate an object using a base point and picking the two lines that make up the angle, and it would match the angle you wanted. I can not get that command to load in 2011.

I have a property line that is N 36d19'52" E but needs to be N 12d52'18" E. The obvious and calculated rotation angle would be 23d27'34" but when I rotate the line by the calculated angle it doesn't rotate to the right angle. It's off by 0d11'10"!? When I draw a line by bearing at N12d52'18" E and inquiry the angle between the property line and the drawn line the angle difference is in fact 23d27'34".

Let's say I am inserting a square block into a dwg and want to get it parallel to an existing angled line. Do I have to read the angle of the line and insert the block to that angle or is there a quicker way?

I have used a driven contraint in a sketch.
Can that also be done in an assembly?
In one assembly I want to make one angle half of a driven angle.

I want to add some 2pt white strokes (no fill) to an Illustrator document to seperate some geometric paths, filled with color, into sections.
That works fine for rectange on the horizontal. But I also have some polygons that are on the diaganol.
How do I shape the ends of my stroke to match the diaganols? See attached for a close-up screen shot. The white is my 2pt stroke. I'd like it to terminate at the edge of the green path, not intrude into the orange.

how to convert "real world" angles of elliptical arcs into those shown in a dxf file?
Say that I have drawn an elliptical arc with its start angle on 210 degrees and an end angle of 324 degrees. The values in a DXF file, for an elliptical arc, have something to do with the contant "PI" (3.14159). I know that a full circle is 2*Pi but how to do this with elliptical arcs!!

Are there any limitations to which angle/perspective I can use in Illustrator? I am trying to create a picture (a mix of perspective and 3d look a like objects) that has an angle of about 70 degrees. Almost top looking down.
Something similar to this: [URL] .....
How would I go about doing something similar to this in Illustrator?

I'm trying to move an object a certain distance at a certain angle. I select the object and hit Enter to bring up the Move dialog. I enter the angle and distance, and instead of moving the specified distance, it moves some other distance. I don't get it. Am I doing it wrong? I can't imagine how else it's supposed to work. Here's a simple example:
Based on the angle and distance I entered in the video, the duplicate square should have been placed so that its lower right corner touches the upper left corner of the original. Instead, it only moved half an inch or so.

I would like to select an anchor point and adjust it so that it creates a perfect right angle. How can I do that?
Imagine some closed, filled shape, made up of a dozen anchor points. I would like to select one of those anchor points (a corner anchor point, not a smooth anchor point), and adjust it (built-in function? script?) so that it create a perfect right angle (90 deg.). This essentially would mean moving it to just the right spot so that the lines connecting it to its two neighbouring anchor points would form a right angle.
do not assume that the resulting right angle would necessarily be orientated along a North-South axis, or any other rational compass direction.

Illustrator CS6, menu object, transform, move: when I move an object using orizzontal value and vertical value (example 10 mm from X and 10 mm from Y) the value in distance and angle is correct (14,1421 of distance and -45° angle) but, when I want to use distance and the angle for drawing in isometric way (example: 10 mm distance and 30° angle) the orizzontal and vertical value is not correct as you can see in the attached file below

I am using Illustrator CS6. When I select an object and open the Move window (either by pressing the Enter key or selecting Object>Transform>Move), I try and move the object at a given angle and a given distance. I leave the Horizontal & Vertical dialogs blank and just fill in the information for the Distance and Angle. When I press OK (or Copy), nothing happens. In all previous versions of Illustrator, this feature worked perfectly. I can not get it to work in CS6.

How do I rotate an object in Illustrator without chaging the angle of my drop shadow? I have a design that I want to place 2 up on a page and then print. When turn and stack them the shadow has changed its angel in relation to the artwork. I don't see where to lock the drop shadow to the object. Or is it secified a different way?

Imagine a triangle with its top chopped off and the path open at the top. Is there a quick way of selecting those top 2 points and auto extending them to complete the triangle?If I use Object>Path>Average my 2 points move to join in the middle, they don't extend up along the same trajectory to join.

I want to rotate object along circle with special step angle. If i choose TRANSFORM i don't type special angle, but i can choose pivot point. I don't know how name this point, i name this pivot point, the point concerning which object rotates. And if i choose TRANSFORM OPTION i can type special angle, but i can't choose pivot point. More precisely, i don't know how do that. I choose object, then transform, set pivot and then open pivot option, type angle but object rotate around own pivot!!!

I would like to extend the bezier handle at it's current angle. Till now, I have been using a guide at the angle and following it when plotting the next curve (as above). I know you can use shift to lock it at a 90 degree, 45 degree angle, etc., but I would like tot keep it at its current angle. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?

Suppose I have an object filled with a linear gradient. This object is the only selected. I just would like to change the angle of the gradient to 25 degrees. So I think I could do:
var doc = app.activeDocument
alert(doc.selection[0].fillColor.angle) // the result is the exact angle of the gradient fill of the selected object. Suppose 12 degrees.
//now the try to change:
doc.selection[0].fillColor.angle = 25.0
No errors are found by the Extended Script Toolkit..BUT...it does not change anything. As Illustrator reference manual does not say this property is read only, I think I could write.
