Plugin or a script or something that can do Cropping like Kimbo did, but for CC?no one would try to replicate that function.this is the plug I'm refering to URL...but I actually only care for the rectangle cut tool. it is very hepful for cropping nasty autocad imports.

I am trying to make a circle logo and some of my vectors are half in and half out of my circle shape, what i want is for anything outside the shape to be cropped/not visible in the finished project.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter sending a CS6 working Illustrator file to my printer, he said he can't see the bleeds. I had him share it back to me through drop box and the artboard seems to be cropping all the art and the bleeds are unseen. Nothing is viewable past the artboard. I can see it in outline mode but not in preview mode.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a 2x8 (wide) grid of artboards, and would like to export all of them to a single PNG as they appear. Unfortunately, Illustrator (CS6) is cropping the edges of the PNG to the objects in the artboards, rather than to the edges of the outer artboards. Is there some way to change this behaviour?
I've tried creating an unstroke, unfilled object that encompasses all of the artboards, but Illustrator seems to be ignoring it in the export (presumably because it's not printed).
I would like to know how to prevent the position of a gradient from being shifted when I crop it with one of the pathfinder tools. For example, I have a gradient that is centered on a panel that I want to crop, however when I crop it the gradient-center is shifted up!
Pre-crop = centered gradient
Post-crop = off-centered gradient
I tried expanding the appearance of the gradient, however that is not a viable solution since it just turns the gradient into a set number of concentric circles.
I have created a series of circles starting with a base circle then using two transform operations -- one to copy it down then another to copy the whole set across. So that leaves me with a grid of circles.
I have created an irregular clipping mask to restrict the circles to within the area of the clipping mask (blue sploosh)
Everything looks fine in illustrator. I have included a snapshot here with the clipping mask released so that you can see the objects being worked with.
The problem comes in when I go to copy & past that artwork into photoshop. What I get is the full spread of (clipped) circles which messes up sizing inside photoshop. The clipping mask hid the excess circles but it did not get rid of them. I have further tried using the pathfinder crop tool but that doesn't seem to work with transformed objects. how I can get rid of the spare inner circles so they are really gone and not simply hidden by the clip mask?
I'm trying to make a repeat pattern tile (using CS5 on Windows 7), but when I crop the pattern, the expanded paths underneath become visible as on the flowers.This is what I did after creating the artwork:
Used the rectangle tool to make a box with fill/stroke directly on top of the artboard.. Select all > Expand (selecting stroke only, not fill) Deselect the cropping box and grouped the remaining objects. Reselected the cropping box and grouped all objects Pathfinder > Crop I'm guessing it may have something to do with the fact I used a gradient on the flowers but how to resolve it.
When I do localization for illustrator plug-in on Windows, I found the method now I can use is generating one plug-in for each language. I only wan to create one plug-in which can link many language resources. If system language changes, the plug-in can auto load appropriate language resource.I can't find more information about localizaiton in illustrator SDK, what I found is IAILocale.h,but it seems that not enough...

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document.

Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?

Aome type of vector library plugin for Illustrator CS6. I need somewhere I can drag commonly used vector elements in illustrator (similar to that of the library in indesign), in the past I used dbpalette from Baby-Universe but they have no idea when its going to be updated, so I'm on the search for a replacement. I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.

I've recently subscribed to Creative Cloud, and downloaded some of the new Creatie Programs, as Photoshop, Muse ands Illustrator.
I understand that Illustrator CC isn't compatible with some of my older plugins, but i don't understand that instead of simply avoid loading them, it CRASHES too! That issue forces me to find the plugin that was guilty of the crash, remove it from the plugins folder, and then start again.
This has happened me twice: with the font agent pro autoactivation filter, and with the inkling sketch manager of wacom
I must insist: what really annoyes me is the fact that the program crashes instead avoiding the loading of the outdated plugin.
Will this have a patcj in future versiones,?
Any new plugin for illustrator that will password protect a layer. The plugin Master Lock only works in Illustrator version 8 and 9.
Is there a newer version that works with CS5 ?
After reinstalling multiple times, uninstalling Wacom drivers, etc. -- tracked it down to a plugin.The newest update for AI CC is not compatible with the Silhouette Studio plugin.
Not a happy camper over lost time and productivity, but fortunately I had my CS5 disks.
I'm completed my plugin and want to make release packget.My plugin have two parts:

I perform certain actions within its handler menu goМenuItem - delete some objects; do other invisible; run through certain actions by PlayActionEvent(), e.t.c. then export the file again through PlayActionEvent("adobe_exportDocument" ...) and see that after all my activities were canceled - a document recovered to the initial state, and after each export and save the need to repeat the entire sequence again. Moreover, on some computers to export certain actions randomly do not work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Illustrator plugin which installs several tools. I want to have a panel pop up for each tool when the user selects a tool.
All the SDK examples I have seen create a main flex panel when the extension loads up. I do not want to any panel to appear when the extension is loaded. I want to load the extension and then popup panels only when a tool is selected.
Is it possible to call an action made by a user, if yes how I can retrieve it (by its name ?) and is it possible to set some arguments of the action ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting out trying to make a plugin for Illustrator CC and have been a bit stuck the past few days, so I have a few questions. The plugin I'm trying to make would have it where when you mouse over a path, an annotation pops up to display the length of the path, reguardless of what tool you have selected.
The major question I have is if it is possible to make a plugin that runs in the background without having to select it as a tool?
I've been going over the SDK and guides and have tried altering the annotator sample project along with trying to make it from scratch, but I haven't gotten the results I want. I got Annotator to display the length of paths, but I can't remove it's tool properties or make it run like it's always selected. When I've been tryng to build from scratch, I don't see how to track the cursor since it seems to need the AIToolSuite. I've also tried to use AINotifierSuite with kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier, but haven't gotten it to work correctly and it wouldn't work just by mousing over paths if I had.
Details:
OSX 10.9.1
XCode 5.0.2
Illustrator CC 17.0.0
I have a requirement to export each artboard into jpeg programmatic within plugin.
