I'm completed my plugin and want to make release packget.My plugin have two parts:
1. UI write FlashUI abcUI.zxp
2. Control write by Illustrator plugin abc.aip
The same StrokeFilter and StrokeFilterUI project.Now I want to combine they. And make setup program to release (no need to use Adobe extension and add plugin in Illustrator manual)
Is it possible to save illustrator XMP thumbnail previews by artboard? It seems like Illustrator saves a single thumbnail with all art regardless of the number of artboards.
If there is a property that can be set to save multiple thumbnails to the XMP packet by artboard when saving to a native Illustrator file?
I drew some simple paths in Photoshop with the pen tool, then exported the paths to Illustrator. All the paths came into illustrator as compound paths, though they look like simple paths in illustrator. Because they are compound paths, I can't join the ends of the paths to the ends of other paths.
Whe I select one of these paths:
Object>Compound Path>Release is greyed out and unavailable. "Release Compound Shape" in the Pathfinde palette menu is also greyed out and unavailable.
Is there any way to make these paths back into simple paths without redrawing them? I'm using CS6 versions of both Photoshop and Illustrator.
I went to the Character panel and from there, I opened the list of installed fonts on my system. As I browsed the list, I spotted two fonts that I wanted to delete. When I tried to delete them, Windows 7 displayed a “Can’t delete — fonts in use” message. I closed Illustrator, and tried again to delete the two fonts. Again, I got the same message. I’m going to have to reboot to delete those fonts plus some others I’ve since identified. Doing that is a pain in the xxx because I’ve always got a bunch of stuff open.
Illustrator needs to release all fonts except those in use in the current document. I should be able to delete any other fonts at any time. If Illustrator or any other Adobe program is displaying a list of fonts at the time I delete a font, it should dynamically update the list.
I'm using a basic custom brush which reacts to pressure, and whenever I make a brush stroke with my stylus, the line doesn't appear until I lift my pen off the tablet. It's a seemingly random occurence, although it occurs in both my work (CS6 / Win7 / Intuos3) and home (CS6 / Win8 / Intuos4) setups.
Platform: PC/Windows XP SP2Adobe: Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2)
Is it possible to release all compound paths in an illustration at the same time (and if so - how)?
I receive drawings from engineering in either PDF or CGM format, which I edit in Illustrator and save as AI. I have to release compound paths in order to delete specific parts of the drawing.
This isn't difficult, but it is very time-consuming because the CGM(or PDF)-to-Illustrator conversion results in quite a few compound paths.
I'm working with another artists's file, and I can't seem to release the clipping mask he created. When I try, I get an error message that says, "Can't ungroup the objects." I've tried releasing Compound Paths, but I get the same message.
I can't draw with it like this. It's basically what the title says, when I draw a blue line shows up until I release the mouse button and then my stroke appears.
I'm editing a logo for a client. Part of their logo is a gradient behind a clipping mask. When I release the clipping mask the gradient is uneditable. I have checked my layers panel and ther gradient is listed as image. I am using illustrator cs5 on Mac os 10.6.8..
1. Is there a plugin available to export files as pdf?
2. How to make a section of a pic transparent. I've spent a couple of hours on this now, and I've searched the documentation section, and I've searched the forums. Most specifically, how do I set a transparent color for a gif? But how do I make an AREA of ANY file transparent? One thing I tried to do was use the "Wet Floor Reflection" plugin, and it requires a transparent area below the existing image. I couldn't do that, either.
I need to do an art project for school, and I want to make the Windows logo, but I suck. So I wanted to use a picture of it and change it to look like it was drawn by hand.
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...
I am under development of a plugin.The plugin used to get loaded upto the recent times.AI gives a message "Error loading plugins XXXX.aip" with no further details.Code is with no compilation error (of course )
Is there any plugin to make the pen tool from illustrator behave/work like the pen tool from Photoshop. Both pen tool behave differently , and i am not used to the way of the pen tool behave in illustrator.
I run Photoshop CS4 on a Windows PC with 4GB. Even though I frequently "purge", Photoshop does not seem to be releasing RAM even when all files have been closed, often holding on to some 2GB RAM. Only when I terminate Photoshop, the RAM it grabbed is released. This means I would have to exit and relaunch Photoshop many times a day.
When 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. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?
I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
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.
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 want to open a ".AI" image and need to convert it into ".JPEG" format by using custom menu item in file menu.
I have done with menu item in file menu now I want to write a code that will convert a current active document (.ai) into a new (.jpeg) formate document.
I don’t know how to load an image into SDK ArtHandler and save as it with a new formate.
