Whenever I export a vector containing blend groups from CDR x5 to AI , the corresponding AI file does not contain the blend group, rather a simple group of 50 objects that have to be deleted and the blending redone in illustrator.

Illustrator :: Program Crashes When Making Vertical Blends?

Apr 9, 2013

I'm making a layout of 2 inch squares, 20 wide and 5 tall, to make color swatches for matching a target color.  I'm then taking a starting value and using the edit colors>blend vertically, and blend horizontally to blend the color in the direction I think it needs.  But every three or so blends i make it crashes the program, and even when I save my progress it crashes half the time.  its a simple file just 2 inch square with color files. 
 
I'm using CS6 on a osx10.6.8  ALL other jobs I've been working on have been fine.

Illustrator :: 3D Ruined Artwork - Small Gaps In Between The Blends?

Feb 21, 2013

I started to use Illustrator since CS2 and done heaps of shapes using the 3d feature.ever since cs5 and beyond, ive encountered a problem when ever I import or copy paiste from illustrator into Photoshop my 3d shape tends to have missing blend steps. I'm setting it to 256 blend steps to get a smooth transition but when i import my Ai into ps or copy paiste it notice that it leaves some small gaps in between the blends. Now does this happen to any other users?

On the left is illustrator using 3d and on the right is the copy paisted/imported Ai file,ive put a red shape behind the yellow ace of spade to make it clear that the red is noticeable.

Illustrator :: Blend Tool Doesn't Create Smooth Blends?

Jun 13, 2013

When I use the blend tool for a smooth blend, the blends comes out jagged and horrible, as if it is doing a step blend rather than a smooth blend. I have used the tool before by either using the shortcut (Alt+Ctrl+B) or using it via the Object>Blend pathway and it worked out fine, but now Illustrator doesn't want to create a smooth blend.
 
What I'm trying to say is; is there an option that is causing this to happen that I may have accidently turned on, or has my copy of Illustrator gone into stupidity mode and I need to reinstall it?
 
I've attached pictures of what I mean with the settings I'm using and outputs. I hope your collective minds can smack this one in the face. I'm sure I'm doing something ridiculously simple to cause this.
 
I'm using CS5 Illustrator and my relevant PC hardware is listed below. - Intel i5-2500 3.30Ghz
- nVidia GeForce GTX 560

Illustrator :: Any Way To Apply Twist Effect Twice In Opposite Directions

Feb 13, 2014

I am trying to draw a sun-like shape. I started with a star polygon and apply the Twist effect. That gets me pretty good arms on the sun, but I'd like for something a bit more flame-like, so I'd like to get the arms to now bend back in the opposite direction. Is there any way to use or modify the Twist effect so that I can apply it a second time but bend further out in the opposite direction? Or is there some other good way to get the rotation along all the arms.

Illustrator :: How To Join And Eliminate Part Of Path

Jun 24, 2013

Illustrator CS6.

I did the fish body outline. Then I decided I needed to change the path by the head. I want to join the inside line to the body outline and eliminate the path on the head portion. I need the finished outline to e a closed path so I can do a clipping mask. I have tried the "join" cmd but it wants to add a straight line between the bottom and top.
 
Is there a way to accomplish what I am wanting to do?

Illustrator :: How To Eliminate Uneven Edges In Fill Color

Jul 25, 2013

I have created a color gradient and the color fill has an uneven edge, which creates a small white space between the edges of the fill and the bounding box.  I have tried using shift+click to try and even the edges, but I guess that only works for using stroke tool or whatever.  You have to look closely because this image is not very large.  There is a slight uneveness on both the top (near the right side) and bottom (slightly left of center).

Illustrator Scripting :: Restart Through Script (or Eliminate PARM Error)

Aug 10, 2012

I'm working on a javascript that goes through a folder, rasterizes the paths inside each file, and saves the results as separate files in another folder. My script works fine on individual files as well as for several simple files. However, once it gets going on some of the big ones, it starts to give me PARM errors.
 
Illustrator CS5.1Windows XP, SP3 (work computer)JavascriptThe CAD export that created the pdf and eps files broke any curves into tons of tiny straight lines. As a result, these drawings can have 15-35 thousand paths per image. 

Get the source and destination directoriesOpen a file from the source directoryGo to the first layer of the fileLoop through all text items to move them to their own layerLoop through all path and compound paths to move them to a groupRasterize the group of path itemsRepeat for the next layer and so onSave the file to the destination directoryRepeat the process for the next file and so on.The scripting guide suggests it could be from conflicting functions or global variables overwriting each other. However, my script is now entirely contained within its own function, and all variables are declared locally. Running from a clean illustrator and ESTK startup, it will still produce a PARM error after a few large files.
 
The guide also suggests having the script quit and re-launch Illustrator after working on many files. Since I assume these huge diagrams are probably several "normal" files' worth of objects each, I figured it probably just needs to restart Illustrator after x amount of stuff goes through. So I look in the guide's section on launching Illustrator through javascript. That basically says "Why would you ever need to do that?" I tried looking it up in the tools guide, but that document isn't very clear at all.
 
1. What would I have to do so Illustrator doesn't throw a PARM error on the line marked below? (besides just putting it in a try/catch and pretending it didn't happen) It doesn't consistently happen on the same file or even at the same point in the file, but always at that line.
 
This is just a tiny part of the script. objectClass is a placeholder for PathItems, CompoundPathItems, etc. Looping backwards and setting the group to null at the end were just experiments, neither of which had any effect on the error.
 
if(objectClass.length > 0){
    var objectGroup = myLayer.groupItems.add();
    for(var i = objectClass.length; i > 0; i--){
        objectClass[i-1].move(objectGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); //This one keeps breaking stuff.
    }
    sourceDoc.rasterize(objectGroup, rastBounds, rastOptions);
    objectGroup = null;
}
 
2. Failing that, how can I relaunch Illustrator through javascript? Or a limited amount of VBScript, though my knowledge of that is limited too.

Illustrator :: How To Eliminate Darkened Areas After Applying Flatten Transparency

Jun 13, 2012

I just upgraded by CS to 5.5 here in the last couple of weeks (I had purchased it prior to 6 being launched). Any way, I've noticed on some ads I create, when I save as an EPS and then go to "flatten transparency" that sometimes it is taking elements and darkening the photo/graphic underneath. For example, I have an ad that has three starbursts with drop shadows overlaying some photos. When I select the "flatten transparency" function, it is darkening a portion of the photo underneath.

GIMP :: Multiple Blends In A Picture?

Apr 22, 2012

I am trying to blend two pictures using layer masks and the gradient tool. I have seen a tutorial from photoshop which enables you to place one picture on the top of the other and using the gradient tool blend and expose the background from all corners of the picture, in fact any part of the picture. However when I try to do multiple blends in GIMP, the first blend works OK but when I go to do the second one, the first one is deleted. The photoshop example showed a ladies face with forest scene and waterfall as a background. In that example with the face in the foreground, it was possible to blend from a number of places from all sides and each time a blend was done, it would remain there even after more blends were done. Does GIMP have the same capability for doing this as photoshop?

Xara :: Extract Logic Behind Handling Of Multi-stage Blends?

Nov 3, 2013

I've been trying to extract the logic behind Xara's handling of multi-stage blends, but am having trouble.

Here's an example. I have these objects:

and create a blend between the left two

now, to continue with a multi-stage blend, I connect the bottom control point of the second object with the bottom control point of the third

All well and good. However, if I had tried to connect the top point of the second object with the top point of the third, like this (screenshot taken just before I release the mouse button)

Xara decides to blend from the first object to the third.

Eventually, by trial and error, I can get my multi-stage blends working, but it's inscrutable why it works logically sometimes, and why not.

Photoshop :: Overexposed Face With A Marquee Twist?

Dec 11, 2012

I can draw the marquee squares or elipse. I can draw them and constrain them and reposition them.

What I cannot figure out is once I have drawn the shape, let go of the mouse and want to THEN go and change the size & shape of the marquee, how to do it. How do I make the top/bottom of a circular elipse change?  And then bring a side in?  Do I have to keep re-drawing until I am perfect? 
 
I have some images with some very tough lighting.  I think the images were shot in the wrong camera ISO settings.  So most of the pictures have 4-5 people in them and it is there faces that have this HUGE amount of overexposure going on.   How can I isolate their faces to work on the exposure/lighting/color correction for their heads?   And then select inverse(?) and correct the rest of the area?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Shape Extrusion With A Twist / Spiral?

Mar 6, 2012

I need to draw a transmission gear with spiral teeth, rather than straight teeth on a typical gear. I know how to work the extrusion tool, but I can't get the shape to twist so the teeth are all aligned.

Is there any way to do this in Corel Draw X5? I'm pretty sure Corel Draw is sophisticated enough to do something like this, I just can't figure out how. The manual shows how to extrude, but nothing really beyond that.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Twist Object Properly

Jun 10, 2013

Essentially, I am attempting to create something similar to this: [URL] .....

But cannot get enough twisting action. I just need to know how to twist an object properly. For example, what I have done is created a two sketches of hexagons on offset planes, and lofted between the two sketches.  If I rotate one hexagon sketch slightly, it will result in a twisting effect. However, if I want to get any significant amount of twisting, rotating the sketch does not work. I have tried with a goil, but that gets the entire object (with a sweep, in this case) to spiral.

I'm trying to do a 3d curve stair rail. I had the 3d spline path, I had the polyline rail profile, but after I sweep the profile, it end up being twisted at the end of the rail. Same problem happens  when I did a sweep using a helix path, imagine a vertically placed rectangular profile at one end of the path then after using sweep command, the other end was somehow twisted on a certain degree. How can I avoid this twisting problem

See the before and after image. I wanted the rectangle profile to remain vertical throughout the whole sweep
