Illustrator CS6
I want to know if it is possible to get more than 2 decimal places in the Print Scale Percentage option box (as shown below)?
It seems to round to 2 and I would like to get at least 3 for better accuracy.
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the decimal place accuracy to default to only rounded numbers i.e. 1mm instead of 1.325. I want EVERYTHING to snap to the nearest mm (Axis, Dimensions etc.) rather than 1.233 for example.
Yes, I can manually type into the dims / axis boxes everytime but thats a chore.
How do you adjust the scale image percentage to extend out to the hundreths place instead of rounding to the nearest whole number?

I have multiple layouts with different scale values I need to get to the same percentage. I don't see anything within the info dialog box, or transform or appearance attributes? Is this something that's viewable?

When i do the command out in space, it gives me 4 decimal spaces. I need to get at least two decimal places while snapping to objects. Examples below:
id command (out in space, not using osnap)
X = 4006431.3366 Y = 359556.5635
id command (snapping to entity)
X = 4006252.3000 Y = 360712.5000
by the way, my units precision is set to .00 and it doesnt seem to make any difference with the id command.
I have used stringer connect in the past and it seemed that my traverse shots (which went to four decimal places 0.0000) that were in my raw file were converted to a fbk file and it held the decimal places. Now when I use it, the program rounds my shots to three decimal places (0.000) which changes the locations just slightly. I don't think I changed any settings deliberately. How can I get my four decimal places back?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy does the Round() function require that the number of decimal places be either a number or an object if you want to use a variable? It seems that a Single should work here, but iLogic won't accept it.
See sample code below which is rounding off dimension values. If I dim the variable "somenumber" as Single or Double, I get this error message from the Round() function: "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Round' can be called without a narrowing conversion."
When I dim "somenumber" as an object it works, but this seems unnecessary when all it is storing is a single digit number. Why wouldn't Single or Double work for this variable?
Here's the code snippet:
'Dim Current Sketch & Count Constraints
Dim oSketch As Sketch = ThisApplication.ActiveEditObject
Dim oDimCount As Single = oSketch.DimensionConstraints.Count

I was trying to use the guides to make a triangle and everything was fine until I used a third guide on one of the triangles points (2 guides; 1 at 90 degrees and 1 at 60 degrees). When I used the dimension tool on it to measure from the bottom of the page to that point, the measurement did not match the numbers in the 90 degree guide's info. It was like .0000007 or .00000007 inches off. I know that's not much but I really needed precision for my particular drawing and I dont know how to get more accurate measurements with the program rounding to the nearest 6th decimal place (the highest setting on drawing precision). If it says it's centered in the intersection, then why do I see a tiny micro right triangle when I zoom in?

as the points are labeled with their elevations, I couldn’t find how the number of the decimal places of the elevation be chosen. In this case, I wanted to let the number of the decimal places to be zero.
How to set the number of the decimal places to be zero or 1, for example? how to sepcify it height (size)?
Screenshot below.
I have a couple of strange angles and moving parts going on in an assembly. there is 1 constraint i am happy for inventor to predict the offset for. the problem is I am using other constraints i later want to bin, to pin it in position then try to apply this constraint. it looks like the predict offset tick box only measures to 3 dp, so as soon as i apply this constraint my model goes sick. I have to take a measurment and copy and place the measurment with all dp's into the constraint to make it work.
Is there a setting to specify the predict offset number of decimal places?
The defaul label style for the Elevation of points is set to 3 decimal places. We are trying to change the elevation display to 2 decimal places. We have tried the directions in the following discussion: [URL].......
Which is:
Toolspace
->Settings
-->Drawing name
--->Edit Drawing Settings
---->Ambient Settings
----->Elevation
------>Precision -> We modify from 3 to 2 decimal places.
It does not modify the display settings.
Also:
Toolspace
->Settings
-->Drawing
--->Point
---->Label Styles
----->(right-click) Edit label styles
------>Layout
------->Text
-------->Contents
--------->click on the "..." (three points) button
(Open "Text Component Editor - Contents"
--------->Select Point Elevation in the driop down list.
---------->Precision: Set to 0.01
------------>Ok, Apply, etc...
This does not seem to work either.
I work with ANGTOS and ANGTOF quite a bit. I'm working with latitude and longitude conversions in MAP 3D for an application where accuracy is top priority. Most of the time ANGTOS (and RTOS, for that matter) return an accurate result for the number if decimal places requested, but then I run into a situation like this:
Command:
(angtos (angtof "120.0") 1 16)
"119d59'59.999999999949""
I got it to return properly by specifying only 13 decimal places, but the result makes conversion between coordinate systems inaccurate.
I am batch scanning 35mm slides 15 at a time using an Epson 1680. I have been playing with the various dpi's and scale to find the best settings so I can cut the slides and paste them into Powerpoint for a lecture. What I have been finding is that when I cut the slide from the scanned image (of 15 in the holder) and place it in my powerpoint slide and then enlarge it, it is too blurry.
I have tried enlarging the dpi to 2400 but the computer won't scan it. I seem to get OK images in powerpoint at 90dpi and 800% scale but I really want them sharper.
How can I do this? Is it best to scan the slides individually and not use the holder?
More importantly, although the slides look OK on my laptop how will they look when they are projected onto the big screen. I do't want them to be too blurry.
For example how can I create a horizontal guide at 33%, 50% and 75% down the artboard?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using illustrator since 1988 and I am not sure why all of a sudden this is happening. I must have clicked the wrong box or something. I save a jpg from my psd file at 5 x 6 inches at 300 dpi. I place it into my letter sized page in illustrator CS5 and it comes out huge. I look at the bar at the top at it says its 72ppi.
Just earlier today, it place fine and viewed like a 300 dpi file. What did I mess up to make this happen all of a sudden.Why is it placing at 72 ppi?
I checked InDesign and it places fine.
I place the psd file and it places fine.
But the jpg places huge at screen resolution.
I understand the difference between print vs screen resolution.
I am wondering if I can find out, how much a color covers a document in illustrator (vectorized document). Do you know a way? I need to now it in percentage. Is there any way or plugin, script etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to lock the size of an object regardless of the zoom percentage. When I am zooming in on a vector map (main layer) the objects (on different layers) becomes very big. So I should be able to zoom in/out on the vector map, but the objects shall keep the same size. How can I do this?

25,611,30,58,510,715,410,46,80,63,91,94,4
Now i realized, that Illustrator can't work with decimal? But that's wrong! The values are exactly 100 (%). Where the gap comes from? So i goggled it and find out, that this bug exists since CS2 (i have CC)! The wrong solution is to clear manually all decimal commata:
256113585107154104686391944
Then it works as usual, but this workflow is not a pro solution!A coworker made this datafiles in hours, and then another worker delete this again?
Is there a way to size without Illustrator CS6 rounding up? example, I need my document to be 3.625 x 2.125" to output a file to a printer and illustrator keeps rounding up to the third decimal 3.63, Is there any way around this? I found going back to CS3 works but all my files have conversion issues opening that far back.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to create an object/group in Illustrator and then copy it across one document in multiple places (multiple art boards, etc.) - allowing the designer to then update the original and seeing the changes cascade to all copies?
I know this can be done using InDesign by linking an Illustrator file and making subsequent updates to that Illustrator file. But I do not want to use InDesign, I want to use Illustrator. What I want is much like creating Symbols in Flash, updating one will cascade throughout the file.
In Illustrator CS5 calligraphic brush could be decimal e.g. 0,5pt size as on the screenshot:
But new Illustrator CS6 always rounds the value to integer.
The appearance of the brush seems to stay the same but it becomes impossible to change it anyhow.
Is this a bug? How can I use my previous brush settings?
I have been using Illustrator for almost 10 years and have never run into this one. When enter a stroke weight on a line with a decimal point like .25 or 4.5 is keeps rounding the number up. For example I enter 0.75 and it makes it 1 point or I enter 5.5 and it makes it 6 point. Whether I enter the number manually or pick from the drop down (0.25, 0.5 or 0.75) it keeps rounding my strokes to even numbers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the rotate tool to design gauges, like clocks, a lot. I hold the ALT button and click on the center of my drawing and then a window pops up to enter in what degree I want my object to be. Currently the decimal point only allows for hundredths, ex. 45.25 degrees. Is there any way to change this to thousandths or even higher, ex. 45.25125? I've attached a screenshot to show you what I mean.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny good way to convert decimal values to fractions for use in inch measurements? I have a script that works great but it returns values like 5.5638 and I'd rather it return the closest fraction answer like 5 9/16. 1/16ths would be great, but I'd settle for 1/8ths.
I started trying to come up with a large if with lots of > and < conditions, but it might be better not to reinvent the wheel.
I am working with Corel Draw X5, Version 15.2.0.626 on a Windows 7 PC which is connected via Novell IPrint to a Conica minolta Bizhub C280 and A HP Offic Jet 850. On both printers I have noticed that a 1:1 print shows differences in scale to the sketch I have made at Corel Draw. As an example I have created a cm scale of 40cm with lines in cm and mm distance. Then I have printed it on both printers and I noticed that at the 28cm position the printed scale is only 27.95cm long. This error occurs on both printers. I have tried to create a CAD drill diagram but because of these large errors I will get holes on the wrong position. This diagram uses distances of 35 cm and here the error is nearly one millimeter.
