Illustrator :: Objects Extending Beyond Addressable Area
Feb 22, 2014
I've created a simple line graph and when I go into change some settings I get the following message. All I'm changing is the: Category Axis, deslecting the "Draw tick marks between labels" and on the Value Axis, I'm using the Override Calculated Values and changing them to Min: 0, Max: 40, Divisions 9, currently the number range from 0 to 1,500,000.
Can't set the graph style. The requested transformation would make some objects extend beyond the addressable area.I can make the changes I want if I want to ungroup the graph, but then I'll lose the connection to the data, type, etc.

Like in a Circle I need to make the compound path the inner area or negative space of my objects. I have expanded letters and joined their paths so that there are negative space, I was wondering if it were possible to fill in the negative space with a clipping mask? (like one would with an object like a circle or rectangle) The letter that I am using is an A and I have connected two A's together like a diamond reflecting each other... Is it possible to create a clipping mask to cover the negative space of the inside of the letters...?

I'm curious if there is a quick and clean way to get text to extend out from around a circle. Meaning, the first letter of each text word is closest to the center of the circle, and the last letter of each word is farthest away from the center of the circle.
I know that I could simply type each word out and manually rotate it with a moved centerpoint, and even step+repeat, but is there no way of drawing a circle and then have the text come out from it?

How can i extend a curved drawn path to include the text thatis hidden on it? I have extended the drawn path (pencil tool) but a red cross in a box symbol stops the text from showing.

After selecting the area type tool, I try to click and drag but I get an error message: You must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text inside a path. This worked before but I must have screwed something up.

I am running autocadlt and opening up a very detailed drawing by an architect which was likely drawn on the most recent version of the autocad. When i go to select a certain area of the plan, elevation views appear in the background as i drag my selection with the mouse. The elevation views are not visible in the plan in the model space. All layers are on and unfrozen.
I am a surveyor and am trying to import the plan into my survey program (which only accepts files in autocad 2007 or earlier anyway). When I open the file in the survey program, for some reason the elevation views are showing and can not be turned off.
I tried to use the command erase, then "all" it tells me "2891 objects found, 19 not in current space". Does that have anything to do with it?
I have gone into the layer manager and selected all the layers and turned them on, and have unfrozen them
Did the proxygraphics command as well
Could it be because autocadlt???

Let's assume we have a square drawn and another smaller square inside of the larger square. If i want to figure out the area of the larger square less the area of the smaller square but adding the perimeter of both squares, how do i do that? I know i can select the square and the properties tab will provide the area and i know i can use the area command and choose "subtract area" and do it that way. But my friend tells me theres a way by just selecting both objects that the properties tab will automatically do that for me. But when I select both objects, the properties tab under geometry would just say "varies" and not do the math for me.
I don't know if this provides additional information but he says somehow both objects are linked, like a block where its really one object and not 2, but when you explode it, it becomes 2 objects and therefore will now say "varies" on the properties tab as opposed to doing the math.

Is there a setting that you can turn on that will ignore objects (texts, lines, ect.) that are outside the printable area? If objects are to be placed "outside the box" my titleblock gets inadvertently shifted until the objects are deleted?

I have a lisp I use to calculate the area of an object. The section below is the area part of it:
(setq ojt (entsel "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
I want to modify it to add the areas of multiple objects. Unfortunately it is not as simple as;
(setq ojt (ssget "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "a" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
So how would I go about doing it?

While I'm in the "selection" mode - and it doesn't matter whether I'm preselecting objects or selecting them under some command - I pick the starting point of selection window and then I pan to another side of the drawing and there I pick the point to close the selection window.
Result: all the objects that I left behind while panning to the other side of the drawing, go out of the selection, so only those objects in the final viewing area stay selected - and it's not what I want... I want to keep all the objects under selection - including the ones that were panned out from the viewing area... I hope you understand what I'm trying to describe here....
I'm quite sure that this worked fine in previous versions, so I'm also pretty sure that there must be an option or parameter that controls my issue - I just can't seem to fint it...

I have a Proposed Building Pad. Grading is 3:1 on 3 sides. Grading is 5:1 in the front of the building. How do I get Grading to fill in the area at the building corner between the 3:1 and the 5:1 grading? I thought infill would accomplish this but it seems to have no effect when I select the objects. I included a screen shot and the area at the left corner of the building.

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

There are 3 elements there. the top of the clap board was placed before i started tryinbg to create the slanted dashes that are on the average clapboards. The white dash was skewed using Object > Transform > Shear. Then i attempted to rotate it to fit.
I need 4 of these skwed white squares / trapezoids on the top along with 4 to match on the top of the larger potion of the clapboard. I do not want to eye it as it will be a part of a logo.
What would be the best method to use?Is there a way to draw the 4 rectangles on top of a perfectly horizontal long black rectangle and skew the white dashes at the same time?Is there a way to skew based on the dimensions of the longer black rectangle?

I am using the attribute to define hot spots on an image map. When I save the file for web, the alt value is empty and there is no easy way to identify which area is ahich in the html code.
How can I enter a value for alt in Illustrator?
<img src="USA-map.png" width="480" height="360" border="0" alt="" usemap="#USA_map_Map"><map name="USA_map_Map"><area shape="rect" alt="" coords="203,208,230,222" href="javascript:void(0)"><area shape="rect" alt="" coords="248,472,273,486" href="javascript:void(0)"><area shape="rect" alt="" coords="139,142,170,156" href="javascript:void(0)"></map>

How to protect some area in the Illustrator from changes? Like Photoshop does.
What I mean is: In the Photoshop I can select some area with Selection tool, let's say a rectangle. Then I can edit that area without a risk to harm any pixels outside it. I can apply any filter to it (blur, etc.), I can fill it with some colour or pattern. And the area outside the selection will be unchanged.
I can not find any way in the Illustrator to do the same or even a similar thing! I can isolate some object or group. but I can not isolate an area/region.

In CS6, I cannot find the option to extend the duration of my photoshop document. I am using Photoshop to make a short hand-drawn animated film. Currently, the document is 300 frames long, but I would like to extend that to 400 frames. (I'm working in timeline mode, not frame mode.)
I could easily change the duration of a document in CS5 by clicking on the little drop-down menu in the top right corner of the animation panel, then going to "Document Settings" where I could change the duration and the frame rate. When I click the drop-down in CS6, I find the frame rate option, but no duration.

I need to somehow extend the texture in the background of this picture to cover the white space. I've exhausted my photoshop knowledge (which isn't that much to start of with) and cant get anything that looks realistic enough, it just looked really fake and out of place.

I'm trying to make this birthday card and have the background and the text, but I want to write more text than there's space for, so I added a little space at the bottom by using Canvas. The part I added looks different. Is it possible to extend to background to cover that area. I have tried using Clone, but it looks awful, I just don't know how to use it right.

I'v got an image with a picture of myself. The background is a cupboard. I'd like to know how do I extend the image toward the right with the same background(extending the cupboard longer). So that I can add in another person. Do help me out in this. I assume there's something to do with canvas size, just don't know what.

Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to scale text inside a text box so that the text and box scale together proportionately? Not using the scale tool where you have to enter percentages, but using a keystroke. In Quark, you can do this by holding down Command + Shift and dragging the box. This will make the text and box bigger keeping the same dimensions. It's a very quick and easy way of changing the size of your text.

I have a complex shape will lots of gaps, nad in those gaps is a layer that is colored orange. Is there a way to designate that all spaces with orange should appear transparent when saving as png?
I cannot just delete the orange because it is convering things from other layers beneath which I cannot simply delete.

I've been looking high and low for this and I can't seem to find an answer. I have two paths, some text and a line going through the text. I want to be able to keep the part of the line that intersects with the text, and leave the text intact. All of the "Pathfinder" modes seem to either not keep the intersecting part, or delete the rest of the text also. Is there something I'm missing?

Illustrator: For some reason it's not possible to alter a text area with the Direct Tool once I've drawn it, I can only move the entire object. Same goes for objcts. All corner points stay marked, no matter what I do. I've been working with Illustrator for years, I can't find the mistake, I've checked all the settings.
