When selecting a tab in the tabpalette for "repeating" ("repeat tab" in submenu on the right of the palette) Illustrator (CS3) simply puts tabs all over the place (not repeating the original tab you selected - unlike INDESIGN which does it right!).
View 3 RepliesI am designing perfume bottles and for that i need to to repeat a semi circle to repeat over a curved surface fo the bottle. To simplify the problem i have created curved surface and made a semi cirle as a feature, now i want the feature to repeat on the curved surface. I have tried to rectangle pattern, aswell as the circular pattern in all possible ways i can think.

How would I be able to create an image like this where the highlighted section completes in sequence. i.e - the overlapping sequence stays correct?
Is there a key command to do what you just did? For instance, I build charts and sometimes I need to rotate every piece of the chart by 90 degrees... one piece at a time. Is there a key command that will just let me repeat this over and over? I'm using Illustrator CS6 on a Mac.
I don't want to rotate the whole chart, just pieces of it... that's why I don't just select all and rotate at once...
I made an illustration to show what I need, I guess it's easier to understand than my explanation below...
QUESTION: I have a circle. I want to make a copy of this circle for, say, 80 % of the original size. I'd like to repeat the duplication so the next copy have the same distance to the second circle as between the first two circles (in other word the percentage would change between tranformations) - and so on.
Hopefully there is some easy way to achieve this so I don't have to do it manually.
(Btw, I use CS5)
I can't find a way to do this
I often need to repeat an action, such as resize an object proportionally from center (using alt+shift) or rotating for example. I get same object resized or rotated in same place and maintaining it´s center.
But when i repeat the action with control or command D on second object, it does not respect it´s center, while it seems to do it from first object´s center, so it moves.
Is there a way to set the center point for repeat or duplicate?
I have an ellipse (blue shape in screen shot) 120mm tall / 135mm wide;

I was given an image of a painting by my boss and told to isolate the figure, then use said figure in a standard step-repeat print.
like that :

the image itself is a high resolution because it needs to be, so not surprisingly it keeps making illustrator crash. the print needs to happen, and it needs to become a swatch so I can apply it to tee shirts, hats etc. so far this has been completely impossible.
know if there is a tool like "Ofset" in AutoCAD for Adobe illustrator CS6? I need to repeat an object(let say a Rectangle) 100 times with a distance of 1 cm. I already find the "Transform Effect" function from Effect --> Distort & Transform but this function create a None- Editable copy of the selected object. What I need intact is a independent object which can be edited in future!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just spent 20-minutes going through 17-chapter thumbnails settings for a DVD menu of this project only to find none of the changes are saving. I tried repeatedly and the chapter thumbnails always revert to the original values for ALL sub-menus. Does seem to save the main menu thumbnail.
All I do is right-click, select to set the thumbnail, find the place and it works. Just doesn't save when I click to CLOSE the DVD process and come back in, eventhough it says "Saving project"

I use VS Pro X4 Ultimate with SP1 on a new installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit system. I try to create a BD menu with submenu, but I can't save my changes in the submenu. I understand from a other topic, that I must use a template and save these changes under my Favourites Gallery. I do the steps like in the topic below, but I never get button “Add to menu template” to save it. Where is this button?
"By Customize you are changing the template, after which the “Add to menu template” will become available, now you can save the template, which will show in the Favourites gallery.
1 / First page, choose a template
2 / The screen shows the Main Menu (the Title Menu) as “Currently Displayed Menu”
3 / Double click the text on screen to change to your own.
4 / If you have created “Chapters” choose the drop-down box Main Menu and change to Untitled
5 / You are now viewing the Chapter Menu
6 / again double click the text to modify / change
7 / Selecting the Edit Tab will allow you to add background music and video/images.
Then customise the font types, size and colour etc.You can customise the Motion Menu and also select other Buttons.Again once "customised" you can save the template to the Favourites Gallery"
I am trying to create seamless pattern repeats. Most of the time when I do this I get thin lines between the tiles (I place the original pattern and move>copy it to exact measurements). I have read in other forums that these are 'ghost' lines which don't appear when the design is printed out, but I've had fabric samples printed that do contain a line. Also sometimes the motifs on the edge of each tile don't match up - see the slight line down the orange / white cups here:
I move>copy the motifs using the exact measurements of the artboard, I line up my clipping mask with the artboard and they are exactly the same size, and they have no stroke width. I can't work out why it still does not work.
Even before I copy and tile the design I sometimes have a thin white line down one side - see below.
How can I make the line segment tool repeat several times?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Why submenu links are treated as popups by Google (Toolbar) when configured to open as a blank page (_blank). This only happens in Internet Explorer (8and 9) but not in FireFox. Disable Popup blocker in Tools and the links open as a blank page. Disable the whole toolbar and it works. Google Chrome does not treat it as popups. Here is a sample site: (The submenus are under "Real Estate Displays") [URL]...Most surfer don't know what's happening with the blocked pupups, especially if the have popup blocker disabled already in IE. The problem can be circumvented by choosing Same Window (_top) but that's not what I would like. Here is the code section in the index.htm file:
xr_startSubmenu('xr_links_b1','xr_links_menu1',146 );
xr_submenuItem("Private Display","private/index.htm","_blank","xr_links_plain1");
xr_submenuItem("Commercial Display","commercial/index.htm","_blank","xr_links_plain1");
xr_endSubmenu('xr_links_b1');

For some reason when I hold down the right hand side on my mouse pad to access the hidden tools in the tools palette in illustrator, it shows the alternative tools but wont let me switch to them eg I hold down the right hand pad and can see the smooth tool underneath the pencil but I cant switch tools. It certainly has worked in the past but appears to have stopped working?

but these require holding the mouse down to access all tools ... which is too slow.

Where is the complete dockable Tool palette?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any functions and methods that dont work on a dialog window versus a palette?
I sk because i was playing with some UI stuff and i almost got everything working but it doesnt work as a dialog just palette.
I am writing a script for Illustrator. I created a palette with some buttons. I like to keep the palette open while working in Illustrator. The problem is, that the buttons don't work. For example, I have a delete button that should delete my active selection. When I change the Window Type from palette to dialog everything works correctly.
var w = new Window ("palette");
w.orientation = "row";
w.text = "Path Transform";
var f = File ("/C/icons/corner-tr.png");
var corner_tr = w.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f );
var corner_tl = w.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f );
var corner_br = w.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f );
var corner_bl = w.add ("iconbutton", undefined, f );
corner_tr.onClick = function () {
selectedObject[0].remove();
createLines();
}
Sometimes, when I'm working on a design, I realize that there's just a handful of colors in Swatches. Why does this happen, and how can I recover the whole palette?
