I want to trim off the top of the lines in the picture below. I used white lines to cover the top to show you what look I wanted to achieve, However, I know that using white lines to cover it up is not a practical solution for my application. I know that I should be messing with the pathfinder tool but I just can't get it to work right for me. I am pretty new to illustrator and Photoshop.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to learn illustrator cs2 on my own and am having some issues with a few basic functions. I am drawing shapes using the rectangle, ellipses and trying to join them together. How do i trim 2 lines together to make a corner. I would like to cut off the exess at the ends by cutting to the other lines. I know this seems basic but I can't figure it out. In the end I want to make a figure using all the drawing tools ( pen, line, shapes etc) and have the outline just one feature.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I initiate the trim command with a double enter (i.e. select all mode), I usually first zoom into the area I want to trim so I see no other objects, then start the trim <Enter><Enter> option, then pick the lines I want to trim. Even if these extend off the screen and cross other objects (not seen on the screen), they usually trim off completely. However, on occassion they don't. To replicate the problem try this:
Draw 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal intersecting (like noughts and crosses)Draw a horizontal line that intersects both vertical lines but up near the top of those linesZoom in so you only see the square and extending lines (but not the short horizontal line)Trim <Enter> <Enter> and pick from bottom right to top left (i.e. around the squareZoom out.
The square is trimmed, however there are 2 line fragments left above the horizontal short line.
Fix: UndoTrim the same way and presto, it now works I found if I then moved the line above (so only a small amount), zoomed in again, tried to trim - same error.
I'm using ACA 2008 and used to be able to pick two lines that didn't physically cross each other and use the trim command to trim them based on where they would cross if they extended to each other. But it doesn't seem to do it anymore.
Best way I can describe it is it used to trim at the apparent interest ion of where they would come together. I'm sure there's some easy fix to this, just don't know where it's at.
I posted a file drawing of a basic symbol.....how do i trim the circle segment between the 2 red lines?
I have drawn this symbol in space....should i be anchoring it to the 0,0 co-ordinates?
We recently upgraded to Autocad Architecture 2013 and the trim command is driving me mental. Lets say I have a window mullion pattern with 4 intersecting lines and I want to trim out the center. (see attached example) I start the trim command, then right to left window to select the 4 lines, then use another right to left selection window to trim out the lines. It always leaves on of the lines leaving me to have to click one more time. This is a huge pain when you have to do this multiple times. That is a lot of extra clicks. What gives? I never had this issue before.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two intersecting objects, which I merged.
Problem is, that the merged object has a pertruding edge, which I want to trim off, but I can't. I tried drawing a rectangle over the unwanted part, but for some reason, the rectangle, or any path I try to make around that edge, it shifts to the left, as if it is snapping. I don't know if it is because I'm too zommed in, but there must be a way to intersect the two seamlessly...

Whenever I try to trim or merge a gradient it only divides it, but when it's solid it works. Why? I'm trying to trim/merge some artwork with a lot of gradients and it's making it impossible. Any way to do this with gradients. Here is an image of what I'm talking about showing it working with solids, but not gradients.

The booking is for a full page and the dimensions are as under: height 262mm x width 191mm, trim size height 278 x width 216 & add 5mm bleed on all sides.
When I create a new illustrator doc which dimensions should I enter? 262mmx191mm with 5mm bleed? or 278mmx216mm with 5mm bleed?
I have a multi layer doc. Many of the vectors peek out of the artboards dimensions. I need a clean trim to the exact dimensions. I was playing with the shape finder but did not get the results I wanted. What is the best way to trim off any vectors outside the artboard.

As the user scrolls through the results, change the button picture to be the png for that ai file. I tested it with a default image in case the image doesn't exist. The test image is cropped to the size of the button.
The pngs are necessarily 600x600 pix. (For other applications). I want to resize them for display on the button.

So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Illustrator CS5+, I'm looping through the objects in a document, exporting each of them to an image using exportArtBoardasImage(). They need to be trimmed afterwards, as they generally have a tonne of whitespace. Normally, I run an ImageMagick shell script (mogrify -trim). It'd be awesome if I could reproduce this functionality from within illustrator. I've seen people handle this by copy-and-pasting each object into a new file, sizing the artboard to that object, exporting, then closing the file. I'd rather not do this, as it's *way* too slow.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on designs in Illustrator and preparing an InDesign document with all of the graphics in one file for the client to review. The artboards are set to the size of a pier sign that will be all wood, but there are left graphics on the wood that will be laser cut and these extend beyond the edge of the wood. When I place the separate artboards in InDesign, they are cropped to the edge and I'd like to show how the left graphics extend beyond it. I've tried different import options but none of them show beyond the trim. (Also, if it makes a difference, the artboard sizes are fairly large—about 60" wide)

These were originally straight lines but I applied a transformation on the picture to make the picture frame I took a picture of a perfect rectangle...
I need to transform a lot of dashed (single) lines into separate lines... Who can tell me how to do this in a few clicks. I don't need an outline of the dashed line. So the black dashes I need, the white in between the dashes I want to loose.
See the example. I need the second lines.
