Illustrator :: Merging Paths Without Changing Arrow Direction?

Jun 5, 2013

I'm having trouble merging paths. I'm combining the multiple paths with arrows to make the 3D effect (which is on all of them obviously) flow as one instead of on top of eachother. When I use the compound path command it reverses all my arrows and I have no way of changing them back without releasing the compound path (which puts them back to their original state of being on top of eachother)

Illustrator :: Changing Stroke Thickness On Paths?

Mar 21, 2013

In the attached, I've placed red circles around areas where I would like to start paths that will be thicker when they start (so that they look like they connect in a seamless way from the decorative swashes around the pre-existing, diamond shape in the middle of the page) and then get thinner as they go on. How do I do that so it gets realistic?
 
Also, how do you vary it genereally? I may want to thicken the paths again when they end. 
 
I know how to use the pen tool decently but at the starting points I can't seem to get things to look like they realistically join what's already there.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: How To Add Direction Arrow To Polyline Features In SHP File

Mar 9, 2011

I need the features shown in a connected SHP file to display an arrow indicating their direction (i.e. -----> or ----->-----). This seem that it would be important to anyone using Map for municipal engineering (sewers tend to be directional!), drainage (so are culverts!), etc..The difficulty in doing this simple task is just adding to my hatred of Map (especially given the amount of money I've spent on Autodesk products)!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Flow Arrow Direction Expression

Apr 4, 2013

Now, in my understanding, the flow arrow should either be rotated 0, or 180  (pi radians).  But clearly, some of them like to have their own mind about things, and decide on some other rotation.  It seems that on the steep slopes, the arrows go a bit skew.

I think the skew is related to the actual elevation difference of the segment, rather than the steepness of the slope.  A long segment with 15% slope has a worse skew than a short segment at over 30%, presumably because the elevation difference from the start to the end of the segment is larger.

Xara :: Light Angle Direction Arrow To Drag Around To See Different Effects From Different Angles

Oct 31, 2012

I'm using DP7, and working on a logo with 3 different shapes. They all have bevels applied to them (applied at different times and angles). I like having the light angle direction arrow to drag around to see the different effects from different angles but the arrow isn't always visible. What do I need to do to keep it visible, or make it visible? If I hit Ctl+B or Ctl+F the arrow will appear but the selected object will also move to the front or back at the same time. I've tried selecting the object first, then the bevel icon, and sometimes that works and sometimes not, although the outer bevel arrows will be visible. Even when the rotation arrow isn't visible I can change the light angle with the slider but I would prefer the rotational arrow instead.

Illustrator :: Keeping Angle Of Direction Line While Dragging Direction Point?

Mar 19, 2014

I have a path with a smooth point. The two direction points form a direction line with any non-45-degree-angle - say 11.8 degrees. I want to drag one direction point while keeping the angle of exactly 11.8 degrees.
 
Is there a key combination for that (Mac OS)?

Revit :: Changing Door Swing Direction

May 21, 2013

Short of starting from scratch, is there a way to change the hinge side?  Some restrooms have the hinge on the right side and others on the left.  I'd like to be able to change this via a parameter.  If I could figure out how, I'd add the param to the family. URL>...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Direction Of Assembly Origin Axes

Oct 4, 2011

I recently found an error in my top level assembly which is that the origin axes x & z are pointing in the wrong direction (x-axis points in the negative x direction and the z-axis points in the negative z direction).  how to "flip" the origin axes of an assembly?

Additional information:  I have a top level lattice assembly that consists of a number of lattices (a part to which components are constrained) with the lattice origin planes constrained flush with the top level lattice assembly origin planes.  This top level assembly is used in many other assemblies to constrain entire systems.  Re-constraining my lattices correctly inside of the top assembly is infeasible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Library Paths - Single User

Jan 21, 2013

I've got a Library setup called "Vendor CAD" and it's referenced in all my project templates and most existing project IPJ's.  I'm thinking of re-organizing my server and actually creating a CAD drive and moving all these files to an area protected from the non-CAD users.

Anyway, once I move the files, is there a way that I can batch change the existing IPJ's to refer to the new path?  There's about 70 or so files, so it's not monumental, but I'd really like to not do it manually if possible.

Also - please note, I'm a single user, so I'm not using vault at all.

AutoCad :: Text Suddenly Changes Direction And Reads In Opposite Direction When Line Bends

May 17, 2013

I have created a linetype with the text GAS OPTION in it. The line is continuous with a break around the text. In a straight line the linetype works fine (breaks around the text etc). However, when I use a polyline and spline the line for a curved line the text aligns with the direction of the line at the start, but when the line bends, the text suddenly changes direction and reads in the opposite direction. It looks like AutoCAD is trying to keep the text upright rather than following the direction of the line. When the text changes direction it also changes its insertion point and overlaps the continuous part of the line. I have 2013 AutoCAD.

Here is the string I used for the linetype.

*GAS_Option_LINE,Gas line ----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----
A,8,-15,["GAS OPTION",STANDARD,S=2.54,U=0.0,X=-2.35,Y=-1.27],-12

Illustrator :: How To Change Text Direction To RTL In AI6

Jan 1, 2013

The characters of a word in Hebrew need to reverse their text direction despite the font being Adobe Hebrew which you would expect to be in the correct direction. However this text was copied in from Word.
 
I can't locate the menu option, e.g. Window>Type>Paragraph fails to show any RTL option. That the text is selected seems indicated by the bar at the top of the screen showing point size etc.

Illustrator :: Change Direction Of Gradient Stroke?

Jun 20, 2013

Why is it that when I apply a gradient to a stroke I cannot use the gradient tool to change the direction or position of the gradient? I can make a fill and offset the path and then move that gradient (which is a very similar effect), but gradient tool does not work on a stroke. I am just baffled by the idea that I can put a gradient on a stroke but then only change it by using the gradient palette to change the angle and /or height /width...and that honestly dosen't work well.

Illustrator :: How To Stop Changing Stroke Weights When Changing Size Of Object In CS5 On Windows 7

Mar 20, 2013

I'm not sure what I did to make this happen or how to change it back, but for some reason when I change the size of an object/line it changes the stroke weight as well. (For example, if I drew an ellipse with stroke weight 2 pt, and then increased the size the stroke weight would be 2.856 pt or some such number instead of 2 pt.) How to change this back?

Illustrator SDK :: How To Create CS5 Arrow

Creation method of the arrow added newly by CS5. It is two that I do not understand.
 
How should AIPatternHandle of an arrow be acquired? I found AIBeautifulStrokesSuite::SetArrowheadOptions. However, there is no telling where beginSymbol and endSymbol should be acquired from.
 
Another is the creation method with an arrow of PathArt. I tried AIBeautifulStrokesSuite::GenerateArt. However, the divided arrow has been created in this API.

It just want to make sure that I did not miss anything. The option "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" is not checked since I want to open the svg file in Inkscape.

Illustrator :: Adding / Merging Non-intersecting Elements

May 29, 2013

I know this was possible in CS3 but since CS4 I think it has been deleted. I'm Struggling with the following:

- Let's say I have 5 elements that are NOT overlapping. I know that it was in possible in CS3 to "add" these together so that you'd have 1 element that was completely editable. You could for instance put an object on top of the elements > use the pathfinder to delete a part, and all previous 5 elements would be edited (because now it was 1 element).
 
- If I try this by doing this the same way as I used to in CS5, this doesn't work anymore. No matter how hard I try to join the non overlapping elements it doesn't work in CS5. If I do the exact same thing as described above I'll be left with the same 5 elements and the deletion will only happen in 1 element.

Was this something that was altered in CS4? And if so, how do I do it now?
