Illustrator :: Path Shape Is Changing When Stroke Weight Changes

Sep 3, 2012

I got this error many different times and the problem still continues.
 
When I change the stroke weight from the Strokes menu arrows or by scroll, this action changes my path's shape and distorts it. You can see the problem below:
 
I got similar errors when scaling a couple of times. But this one looks just impossible to me.

Illustrator :: Maintaining Stroke Weight When Changing Path To Brush Stroke?

Sep 12, 2013

Is there a way or an option I am missing to convert my regular paths to a path stroked with a brush profile,while maintining the proper stroke width?
 
For instance, I have a regular line with a stroke of 5 and then add a brush profile, which then converts the original stroke to whatever the brush was made at.

Illustrator :: How To Adjust Stroke Weight On Path

Jul 21, 2012

I'm unable to adjust the weight of a path. Here's a 40 sec video (no audio, 1920x1080) that demonstrates I know how to adjust the stroke weight on a path, followed by a demo of it not working when I try to adjust it:

[URL]....
 
Here's what I do in the video:

First, on a path that allows the change:

Select an elipse.Increase the stroke weight of the elipse.Control-Z to undo.Decrease the stroke weight of the elipse.The above demonstrates I know how to adjust the path weight (at least I think it does).Next, on the path that doesn't allow the stroke width to be reduced: Select path. Increase stroke weight to demonstrate it increases.Control-Z to undo.Decrease the stroke weight to .25 to demonstrate it does not reduce in size. 

What do I need to do to decrease the weight of the path I am trying to adjust?

Illustrator :: Ignore Stroke Weight Of Shape In Transform Box

Sep 5, 2013

I'd like to know how to ignore the stroke weight of a shape in the transform box. In other terms, to only consider the surface.

For example, I trace a square with no stroke, and measures 100mm. When I add a 1pt stroke on it, I would still like the transform box to display 100mm, and not 100,353 mm.
 
I'm working on Illustrator CC (64 bit), Windows 7.

Illustrator :: Stroke Weight Rounds Up?

Feb 10, 2014

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every now and then, my stroke weight rounds up.  When I try to make the stroke 1.5 pts, Illustrator automatically rounds up the stroke weight to an even "2".  This is very annoying when I need the line to be 1.5.  
 
It doesn't always happen, but it drives me crazy when it does. what I've turned on, and how I can turn it off?

Illustrator :: No Visible Change In Stroke Weight?

Dec 3, 2012

I am clicking on a line and altering it's stroke weight to numbers as big as 70pt, but the there is no visible change to the line! If I click off the line and back on it, it still says that it is 70pt, but this is not apparent! Have i clicked on something that prevents me from altering the line weights?

Illustrator :: Cannot Change Stroke Weight Below 0.0139"

Aug 28, 2013

I am using a Mac running 10.8.4 and Illustrator CS6, on new documents I can not get the stroke or line weight below .0139”. I set the weight manually but it returns to .0139”, the weight will increase just will not go below .0139”. Any document that was drawn in CS2 retains its weight settings and I can even draw new items and have any line weight down to .001”. I can not go that low in a new document. All setting appear to be the same.

Illustrator :: Auto Set Stroke Weight / Colors And Fill Color?

Mar 5, 2014

I'd like to make it easier for our 100,000 designers to use AI to make custom products using a laser cutter.
 
Current Practice
Designers open our AI laser cutting design templates, add their designs using the AI settings our online pricing system can read, then upload their designs to our website for instant pricing, making and shipping.
 
The Problem
Designers have to manually setup AI with settings that can be read by our online pricing system. If they get these settings wrong, our system can not read their designs. So they are rejected and can not be priced or made. This happens more often that you'd imagine.
 
The Solution
Designers do not like design rejections. So I'd like to eradicate them by providing our designers with a version of AI that provides the following settings only:
 
* Set document to RGB
* Stroke weight = 0.01mm
* Stroke colors = RGB 0, 0, 255 and 255, 0, 0
* Fill color = RGB 0, 0, 0
 
This will mean designers have a very limited number of AI choices, with nothing to distract them or to get wrong. Which will result in less (or zero?) design rejections. And products made faster than before. Rejoice!
 
Question
How do we program our AI laser cutting design templates so that when they are opened in AI, they auto set AI settings as defined above?

Photoshop :: How To Convert A Path Stroke In A Vector Shape

Oct 11, 2012

When you use the Photoshop CS6 new function stroke on the path of a vector shape, how can you convert the result in a vector shape ? Merging multiple vector shapes doesn't work. The strokes outlines are not vectorized in the new vector shape.
 
It's possible to convert in pixel and keep the stroke drawing, but no way to convert in vector. Illustrator has a similar function in order to vectorize the stroke.

GIMP :: Changing Paint Tool For Stroke Path

Mar 23, 2011

I've been having this problem changing the Paint Tool in the Stroke Path Dialog .

I'm using GIMP v2.6.11

First I stroke a path using the Paintbrush as the paint tool. Then I change the Paintbrush to Airbrush and try to stroke the same path and it seems like it's still using the Paintbrush (or even worse, it does nothing at all). Sometimes I reopen the stroke path dialog and it seems to have reverted back to the last paint tool I used (Paintbrush) and my Airbrush selection seems to have been completely ignored.

Currently if I want to stroke with different paint tools I have to do the following. Stroke with Paintbrush, stoke with Pencil and then undo (for some reason changing from the pencil tool doesn't have the problem), then stroke with Airbrush. I always have to do this intermediary step of stroking and undoing with a pencil to get the new paint tool to register.

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 :: AI CC - Cannot Set Stroke Of Path To Anything Less Than 1 Pt

Aug 23, 2013

I can't set the stroke of a path to anything less than 1 pt.
 
Though a dragged path  (by an endpoint) snaps to a point on another path, when I lift my finger, the dragged point and path jump a small distance away.
 
Aligning two separate paths to their common (e.g. top left) endpoints also leaves the two endpoints slightly displaced from each other.

Illustrator :: Is It Possible To Stroke Path Like In Photoshop?

Nov 6, 2012

I mostly use photoshop for lineart on some pictures I do but the biggest problem is that the lines are not really smooth. I want to Use Illustrator just to ink the pen tool paths and then return it to photoshop to color. This is a recently finished picture I did using the Pen tool traced on top of a sketch I scanned. I want to know if there is any way I could do something similar to "Stroke path" in Illustrator so that I could get this picture done with crisper lines and if not.

Illustrator :: How To Add A Stroke To Inside Of Compound Path

Aug 27, 2013

I'm having trouble making adjustments to my compound path/shape, as I'd like to outline the inside of the shape with a stroke - but this doesn't seem possible as the stroke always surrounds the outside too.

So: I've got a simple rectangle with white fill, with a rectangle-window hole cut out of it using the compound path action so you can see the layers beneath. Now I want to stroke the window hole, but NOT the outside of the entire rectangle. I'd be happy to split the shape up and tried various options like divide, edit in isolation mode, expand (button is greyed out), all the pathfinders - but none of them allow me to do this only to the inside part of the path.
 
How I can perform this action? I'm working in CS5 and CS6.

Illustrator :: Aligning Stroke To Outside (not A Solid Path)

Aug 22, 2013

I am trying to create a circle where I can align a stroke to the outside of a path - however I need to be able to break the circle up into sections - once I do that - I cant align to outside anymore.
 
Aside from breaking the green section apart and aligning it manually by eye, is there no other way to do this? Perhaps by aligning all segments of the circle to another circle (one that hasnt been broken apart?)
