Illustrator :: Put Cut Marks In Document?

Oct 1, 2012

I had a leaflet given to me that I agreed to edit. It was A4 in size and fold in three so the original has six faces.  The owner wants to keep the design but reduce it to a single-sheet double sided one third of A4.  So I just did the edits and and made the leaflet into three on a page; like this:
 
My question is how can I put a cut mark in the page.  I am guessing that the leaflets can be cut as required.  Or is that not a good thing to do and should I put them on a standard compliment slip size?

Illustrator :: How To Create Crop Marks To Save A Document

Oct 24, 2013

I recently u[graded from a very old Illustrator version to CS6 and I noticed the crop tool is missing. It used to be really easy in the old version to drag the crop tool around the area in question and crop marks would be generated automatically. Then I could save and print just that area only. Now this tool is gone and I am having trouble with finding a way to define the area I want to save or print. When i generate crop marks and then save, all i get is a file with plenty of white around it that also shows the crop marks....

Illustrator :: Crop Marks Counter Intuitive?

Jun 11, 2013

Is it not counter intuitive to include the crop marks of an object in the transform dimensions. i.e If I create a box 200x200mm and turn on crop marks the new dimension is 238.1x238.1mm. I can understand a stroke affecting the dimensions of an object but crop marks? I'm not feeling it, I have to remove crop marks from the appearance, change size of the object then re-apply crop marks.

Illustrator :: How To Create Tick Marks Within Arched Area

Jul 24, 2013

I need to recreate this dial and I've learned how to create evenly spaced tick marks within a circle, but this is an ellipse.  Here, I attempted to draw two ellipse then used the scissors to cut them to size.  Then I used the line tool and drew each of the tick marks.  Then I adjusted the weights of each tick.  This is not a good method because the end ticks are not meeting the ends of the ellipse perfectly, leaving a tiny bit of tick mark outside the ellipse.  Here is what I ended up with:
 
But this is what I need to create: (I only need to create the arched part with tick marks of this dial)

Illustrator :: How To Calculate Rotation Degree Of Tick Marks

May 21, 2012

I learned out to make the tick marks using copies and rotation.  My question now is, how is the rotation calculated so A) I get the correct placement of the tick marks, especially the small ones as there are so many and B) how do I calculate the rotation degree so that I have the proper amount of space at the bottom of the guage/dial?

I know how to get the large tick marks and the small tick marks, if I were placing them evenly around the entire circle, I would know how to do that also - but since I'm placing them around only a portion of the circle (although still evenly) I'm lost.  I can only figure out the space by hit and miss calculations and that is taking much too long.  I would also need to know how much to rotate the entire thing by in order to get the open space at the bottom as shown.

Illustrator :: Adding Crop Marks To A Documents With Bleeds And Save As EPS

Oct 15, 2013

Working on Adobe CS6..A sign maker has asked me to submit my artwork for different signs (quite a few of them, in different-sizes) as EPS with crop/trim marks.
 
For instance: The size of this sign is 24"x24" with a .25" bleed.  The Artboard shows the right size, and the crop marks show uo as they should.  But once I let go of the Artboard, no crop marks show on my screen.
 
Any crop mark I try adding via the Object ("Create Trim Marks") or Effect menu for crop marks, both cases would create them around the BLEEDS, rather than the REAL ARTBOARD, which, of course, defies the purpose of a crop or trim mark...
 
I usually submit files for production saved as PDF w/bleeds & crop marks, but this sign maker wants them as EPS.Is there a way around it, other than create those marks manually?

Illustrator :: Designing Business Card - Bleeds And Trim Marks

Nov 19, 2013

So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?

Illustrator Scripting :: Overriding Category Axis Tick Marks In Graphs?

Nov 6, 2012

We are introducing a new graph design, but has a problem with not being able to override the tick marks in the category axis in Illustrator CS5. A typical graph (line layout) can have 250 observations, and since we have the tick marks on full width, the graph gets "crowded" with black lines.
 
In the value axis there is possibilites for overriding the values, but not on the category axis.
 
Is there any way to script so that the tick marks in the category axis can be reduced/overrided to e.g. 1 in 20?

Illustrator :: How To Set DPI For A Document

Jul 8, 2011

I'm designing a user interface for iPad (Resolution: 1024x768, DPI:132). Setting the resolution is a piece of cake but when I change the ruler unit to Centimeters, it shows the screen about 36x27cm which is not right (iPad screen is 24.3x19cm).
 
Illustrator calculates these lengths based on the DPI. But when creating a new document the only available DPI's are: 72, 150, 300 (File > New > Raster Effect). I know that Illustrator is a vector design program but there must be a way to set the DPI to an arbitrary value.
 
How can I have a 1024x768px artboard in Illustrator that is 24.3x19cm? (DPI=132)

Illustrator :: Way To Scale Whole Document In CS6

Jun 13, 2013

Is there a quick 'n easy way to scale a whole document in CS6?Right now, I select all, use the scale tool, option-click, type in a percentage, then resize the artboard. Just wondering if I'm missing something to do it all in fewer steps?
 
Also, any way to scale by other unit besides percentage? So I have a shape that's 374 pixels across. I want to scale it proportionally to 800 pixels across. (traditionally, I just whip out the ol' proportional alegbra equation to convert to percentage)

how to use document profiles? I noticed a yellow ! triangle when I selected RGB as the color space for a new document. When I clicked on it, I was informed that my new document didn't match the document profile, and now I am wondering whether I should ignore that, or get up to speed on how to use/create document profiles.

Illustrator :: Going Back To Original Document?

Nov 1, 2013

I opened up a file to use the same size to make another project...i saved the project instead of saving as to save the project as a different document. therefore the old project i made on that document disappeared i was hoping that there was a history panel or something i can go back to what the document was when i opened it..

I still have the document opened - never closed it since i opened it to do some other project.
 
- In photoshop i can just to history and clikc on the thumbnail to reset everything as it was before. I don't want to loose my layers from that older project.

Illustrator :: How To Set A Document Font On All The Text

Aug 21, 2013

I've recently started getting into Illustrator and was wondering if there existed a way to set a "document" font that all the text within the Illustrator file will follow?  I'm building a generic document that I'd like to customize for clients by using their standard font.  Is there a way to do this such that you only set the font in one place?  I'd prefer to also font once rather than selecting all the text layers and changing the font for all.

Illustrator :: Duplicate Entire Document?

Feb 18, 2014

OS: Windows 8 64 bit  Illy: CS6
 
I was playing around with Illy tonight as I haven't been using it nealry as much as of late or even since all the recent updates.
 
Any way, it seems to me that I somehow managed to Duplicate a Document...
 
If you use Photoshop you'll know just what I mean... I'm talking about making an Exact Duplication of all the layers... of everything. You know simply: Image > Duplicate
 
I was playing around with different things and next thing I knew I had Two Document Windows open even though I'm about 99.9% certain that I didn't open a 2nd Doc and that I didn't make the exact same shape twice with same colors etc.
 
Of course... I could quite possibly have drifted off into some dual universe...   (yes, that's the best i can come up with at 3am).
 
Is there now a (hidden) way to make a Duplicate in Illy just like in Ps?

Illustrator :: Lines Being Printed That Don't Appear On PDF Document

Aug 21, 2013

I own a company that designs and sells sewing patterns for men's clothing to be made by home sewers. I have my patterns professionally drafted and sent to me as a poster-sized PDF. I then open it in Illustrator, move things around, change some fonts, etc... and make a 34" wide copy to be printed at a copy shop. That's all fine and dandy, and it prints out perfectly.
 
I then use Acrobat XI Pro to open the 34" version and print to Adobe PDF with the poster setting of 7.5" x 10" for people to print at home. Then I open each page of the multi-page PDF in Illustrator to add a border, alignment marks, page numbers, etc... and save as the same PDF.
 
Now here is where the weirdness begins. For some reason, there are random chunks of lines (identical to the pattern lines throughout the rest of the document) that aren't supposed to be there. They don't show up on my screen when I open the file in Illustrator or Adobe, but they get printed every time. I've even started the whole process from scratch, tested the 34" wide version at the print shop (prints perfectly), and split it into pages again, and the phantom lines are still there!
 
I've attached a photo I took of one of the pages in question. The file on my screen is the exact one I printed, and as you can see, they are definitely not the same
 
I have been saving the PDF files as Press Quality from Illustrator.

Illustrator :: Settings When Opening A Document?

Oct 28, 2012

When I open a document that I've worked on previously, Illustrator seems to re-set its tools - presumably to default settings.  For example the pen tool fill is white, the stroke is black, the point is......etc.
 
It's frustrating to have to change these back to the settings that I am currently using for this document.
 
This also seems to apply to the windows down the right hand side that seem to open in default as opposed to how I last left them when I saved and closed Illustrator.
 
I'd sort of assumed that Illustrator would 'remember' my previous settings etc and open in that way.  Is there a way of opening with the same, previous settings?
