Is there a way, to export grouped items out as a png file? I got like 19 artboards with a lot of groups on each. All these groups has to be png files, so I can animate them in After Effects.
Right now I am copy/pasting the groups into a new illustrator file saying "save for web and devices" but it takes to long time if there is an easier way
I'm looking for a script that allows me to export custom views (created via "View > New View") into separate png files.
I've already found some great scripts that export Layers or Artboards but nothing for Views.
It seems Illustrator's "Views" are the closest equivalent to Photoshop's Layer Comps.
I´m aware that Illustrator doesn´t have multiple artboards options for JPG as it does with eps, or other formats, but is there any workaround for this? Looping current artboard and exporting them to JPG or something. Or maybe there is someway to force the "save multiple artboards:true" in JPG?

I've been stuck with the task of creating textures for the people's clothes and etc. He sends me the main templates which are 24 bit pngs . and I have to edit them and then save them as 32 bit png . everytime I save them as pngs though they default to 24 bit is there anyway to change them to 32 bit ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have made a layout for an iPhone app in Illustrator. When I export an artboard with a size of 160 x 90 px to png with 326 ppi, the size ot the image I get out of it is 724 x 408 px with 326 ppi. Also if I copy and paste the object to Photoshop it has the same growth.
I'd like to make pixel-sharp design, so what is the best way to do it?
Using LT 2014. If I select a few lines and group them, I can select that group, right click, and ungroup them. No problem.
If I group a few lines, then make another group of a few lines, then group the two groups together, then the right click menu will no longer allow me to choose ungroup. Also on the ribbon, the ungroup icon will not operate.
Before this I had LT 2011 (and before that) and I was able to group/ungroup multiple grouped objects at will. So this appears to be a glitch that was introduced since then.
How do I ungroup multiple groups?

View 17 Replies View Relatedauthor one mask that effects multiple layers without using a group mask? Unfortunately I can't throw all the layers in a group and use a group mask in this case since the layers that I want to share the mask must be in different group folders. (I am using actions to export the results of each group to the different flattened files.) So I have similar but not identical layers in separate groups that I would like to share one authored mask. I also can't use smart objects because the layers are not identical.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running into a problem where Civil 3D is creating multiple point groups of my 4 existing groups (the original group names are Topo, Existing Ground, Hide, and All Points). The new groups seem to be copies of the originals in terms of styles but do not include the points that were designated in the originals (no points are assigned in these copies).
The groups appear some time after I create the surface.
I've also noticed that this occurs in my list of grading criteria as well.
I have this problem when creating grading groups with more than one feature line in them. It seems really unstable when you trying get the grading to connect. I have tried to create two separate grading groups in one site or two feature lines in one grading group. And the result is the same, the grading that will be create can sometimes look oki, but suddenly they tend to disappear or look weird...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using a script to export multiple layers of 16x16 pixel icon files into separate PNG files. It works very well with one big exception. All layers that contain text becomes very blurry.I have tried converting the text into outline paths before exporting, but it does not work. The text becomes blurry and thick.
When performing a regular Non Script export to a PNG file you are allowed to chose antialiasing method between "type" and "art". When using the "type" alternative everything looks good, but when the "art" alternative is selected the text look very blurry and bad.When using script multiexporters it seems they all use the art version.

But I have tried a bunch of other scripts as well but with the same blurry result for the text. How to get the option to chose the type optimized initializing for the script exports?
I’m trying to take several layers from a group, merge them, and export them into jpgs, then move on to the next layer group. Saving all the files in a new directory called "images" My layers are organized into groups, I’d also like to be able to have the script ignore layers that end with a specific character (or some other tag)

This one exports the top visible layer(s) as a jpg with the same filename as the .PSD

I new to using the view frame groups we do allot of double plan view 11x17 sheets using an alignment on top of MrSid aerial drawings. It is very time consuming to setup the viewports along the alignment doing the old fashion method of copying the page setup and sliding the model space along the alignment for the next sheet. I understand the plan profile and cross section methods of creating multiple sheets and how the viewframe group works for those type of sheets. I'm just not sure how to create a dwt template for one plan view on top of another plan on the same sheet with to viewports. I know I'm not the only person that creates road cl double planviews when your not concerned about a profile.

there is probably a simple solution to this but I am stuggling to create a paint group in CS of multiple paths.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf CC is a TRIAL program, why would you allow it to blow away layers and groupings when the doc is reopened in CS6? No I have to resinstall CC, open the doc, save it back down to CS6, and PRAY that the layers and groupings are intact. What a waste of my time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a proprietary project that has lettering with a white rectangle overlaid in Screen mode at about 35% to convey the idea of a metal surface to the viewer (similar to how the apps launch buttons in iOS have that glossy sheen). My question to you all is, when I have worked on the design in Illustrator and pulled it into AE the white box in Screen mode is visible and affects the layers below.
Now, I thought there was a way to isolate blending modes to groups or layers, so that anything outside of that group/layer would not be affected. Is this correct? My workaround at the moment is to boole the box so that the screening geometry fits to the lettering, — an arduous process. Attached is an example of the effect I am going for. Ideally I'd like to keep my screening box whole so that I can play with the angle of the faked reflection without having to go through the boole process again.
I'm in need of fitting 10 groups on a document so that all 10 groups take up the least amount of space. To do that some of the groups need to be rotated when doing this manually. Is there a way for Illustrator to do this automatically? Ditributing and rotating several groups to take up less space on a given document size?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just learned (after 16 years...) that it's been possible to drill down through successive compound objects within groups without using the new V7 feature "Edit inside".
I'd always used Ctrl+Click within a group to select the object in it I want, but could never select just a group that was within--only a single object. But apparently Ctrl+Click is only intended to select the bottom-most (leaf) object of the group (tree). If instead you use Ctrl+Alt+Click, you can click through each level of a group.
So for example if you made two groups of 3 objects and then grouped the two groups together, you can select the whole group first, then one of the other groups within, then one of the objects within that group.
I can't believe I didn't know this. Shows what I know. And what amazes me more is that I didn't figure it out given that you can Alt+Click to select through overlapping objects.
Is there a way to save an lllustrator color group as an ASE swatch library? When I try to do this, the entire library, including all the default swatches, are saved, when all I want are the particular swatches I've added to a new colour group. I want to be able to save swatch libraries for various clients, then be able to access them in InDesign and Photoshop as well. Or alternatively, is there a way to remove unwanted swatches from a swatch library once it's been saved? (Using CS6 on a Mac running 10.8.4)

In the kind of bulk work I'm doing, its really turning into an hours burner.
The specific process I'm using (I've tried several different ways with the same result)
1) Draw my art
2) Group the art
3) Create a new color group with my art selected.
4) Double click the color group and recolor.

6) Double Click a different color group (or select from the Recolor panel) -- here the other color group (swatches) get applied, but every time I do it, the order of which color is applied to
I would like to divide the green leaves on the image below over the green object on the right so that the leaves create the shape of the lines. They have to fill the space of the green object at a similar shape as it is now.
I tried blend but since the leaves are grouped objects with gradient fills, but then this is the result.I need to divide the leaves along the green shape so they follow the shape.
