I have a simple vector image:
And after scaling down (about 10 times) it gets noticeable distortions:
Is it correct behaviour? How can I avoid it?
I tried with "snap to grid" and without it, nothing changes. I'm using Illustrator CC.
Will 32GB RAM have noticeable benefit compared to 16GB? Reason I'm asking is that I've just built a new PC: 3770K, 32GB RAM, SSD for OS and programs, SSD for scratch, Caviar Black for storage, etc but unfortunately Windows 7 Home Premium only allows 16GB RAM! I have Windows 8 Pro which I could install giving me access to full 32GB but only really want to do this if 32GB will offer tangible benefit to Photoshop.
Would love to hear from those that actually have upgraded from 16GB to 32GB.
for some time now I cant use Times New Roman, Arial, and some other Font Families that comes with Windows 7. I can use the fonts in Word but not in any Adobe product. Why? That wasnt happening on Windows XP.
Another thing, is it possible to sort the fonts in illustrator..
Alright, so I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and Illustrator CS5.
Times New Roman Regular does not display correctly on my machine when using Illustrator CS5, but Bold, Italic, Italic Bold display just fine. Times New Roman does display correctly in every other program I use. InDesign, Word, etc. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean.
I've been asked to produce a timeline to be printed 110cm deep by 410cm wide and wall mounted on Foamex.
The time line will be made up of individual panels - one for each year. 2010 / 2011 / 2012 / 2013 / 2014...
The reason for each year to be printed as a separate panel is to prevent 2013 being plonked on the end of previous years - hope that makes sense! (Each panel will be a summary of the year.)
Ideally I would like to design the timeline with a flowing background graphic so I would need to create the main background as one, then exactly crop each year panel to print individually.
What I'm unsure on is how best to crop each year including bleeds ect so when butted uptogether the design looks seamless.
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 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set font = "Times New Roman" to a text range.
But the API constantly fails with error code = "1430996551".
AIErr result = sAIFont->FindFont("Times New Roman Regular", kAIUnknownFontTechnology, kUnknownAIScript, false, &headingFontKey);
I tried "Times New Roman"
"Times Roman"
"Times-Roman"
"Times New Roman Bold"
I have all these fonts installed on my windows 7 machine and can see them in the AI's font selection menu as well.
What might be the problem ? And how to decode the errorcode (1430996551) ??
How can I repeat text several times and put it into a circle with the words continuously repeated into the circle if that makes sense.

View 2 Replies View RelatedNew Responsive Scaling feature is great.
It's enabled me to add an Edge Animate file to my responsive Wordpress site using the Edge Suite Plugin.
Only problem for me is that although the 3.7MB file I’ve created scales perfectly on all devices it struggles to play on smartphones. (I assume it's too big and too power hungry to play smoothly on smartphones - even since I've added a pre-loader.)
So, in an ideal world, what I need is a separate low res Edge Animate file that only plays on smartphones.
Failing that, I’d be happy with a 'Down-level Stage' image which could replace the Edge Animate animation.
For a moment I thought I’d found a solution when I came across this Adobe TV movie: [URL]
Unfortunately this clever solution only works when the new Responsive Scaling feature is NOT selected. As soon as it is selected, the animation no longer changes from one layout size to another when the browser window is reduced.
I don’t mind whether the fix is in Edge Animate, Wordpress or the Edge Suite Plugin - I just want a solution!
Artwork becoming deformed after scaling or moving it?
I attached a screenshot of a piece of clipart that I scaled down twice with the original showing on top. You can see in the art in the middle position that it's been changed while the original size and smallest size seem to be fine. They are all the same, copy, pasted and rezied.
It's happening very often, and once it does I end up having to re-import or redraw the art.
how line art changes when scaling object in AI CC? For example I have a logo file to deliver to client that doesn't have the font. In AI CS6 and below you can hold the shift key and resize objects smaller and keep the shape's intergrity. I've noticed in AI CC that resizing fonts converted to paths smaller does not hold the characters shape as well as previous versions of Illustrator. I understood the industry practice of converting fonts to paths as the last thing to do prior to shipping out a design to production. But what happens to logo files that get sent out to clients/vendors, for these files it is paramount to keep the shape intact.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI know, I know. This question has been asked a million times already. Unfortunately the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid / Snap to pixel grid tip doesn't work for me. When I scale the image down to tiny proportions, the path becomes horribly, sickeningly distorted. It certainly seems like the pixels are being snapped to some kind of grid, but as you can see in the screenshot, the option is disabled. I tried switching between RGB and CMYK with no luck but I havent messed with the document profile past that. I am not yet ready to spend another few hours recreating the image.
I am using Illstrator CS6. Everything except the "web studio" is a path.
How could this happen? I tried to scale a logo down to fit a stamp and Illustrator destroys it by distorting the paths.
This is the original logo
And this is what Illustrator does with it when i scale it down. (Image is scaled to same size to better illustrate the distortion)
Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to scale text inside a text box so that the text and box scale together proportionately? Not using the scale tool where you have to enter percentages, but using a keystroke. In Quark, you can do this by holding down Command + Shift and dragging the box. This will make the text and box bigger keeping the same dimensions. It's a very quick and easy way of changing the size of your text.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't get certain graphics to scale down correctly correctly.
Take a look at the 2 jpegs enclosed - one solid, the other with 1px outline. The graphic men were originally 40mm tall.
In each case the one on the left is the original. The one on the right is the same graphic reduced to 25% then enlarged to 400%. Both should look the same.
How to stop these distortions from happening? I've tried adding and releasing Compound Path, Grouping and Ungrouping, Selecting and deselecting 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. No combination works!
I'm especially confused about 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. Surely when it's selected, the outline should reduce to 0.25 px. It doesn't - it stays at 1px.
Beginner here, but my scaling arrows have disappeared. How can I reset this?

In which dimensions I need to scale the whole work (drawing/text) up/down to be seen on 4/3 and 16/9 monitors?
there are smartphone and tablets standard dimensions too I guess, do i need to create multiple artboards ?
As I explored Dreamweaver CS6 I noticed the dimensions are shown in the "design" view at the bottom for these devices, may be I could use them?
When I hold down shift to scale an object or image to keep the proportions constrained, it does not work. This has only recently started to happen and it also happens on photoshop.
I don't have entourage running, which I read could be a culprit.
Would I need to reinstall my CS2?

Scaling - for some reason the image get distorted after scaling. see example:
Each time I scale it'll do it differently. this time it made the right side thicker.
Alignment - the bounding box has offset and when aligning it doesn't align the objects right:
I am using AI to import anatomical tracing data (paths and symbols). The data coordinates are in millimeters. I create an artboard as follows:
The file import code reads the data and then passes the bounds data to the art routine, CreateDataArt, as minv and maxv. As can be seen (abRect) the bounds of the data are 13 mm wide by 14 mm top to bottom. Two paths are then drawn into the artboard as shown here:
Note that the rulers are in millimeter units and that the art board is nowhere the correct size.
I'm creating a logo that uses two ovals, an innner and outer one. I'd like the outer one to be an exact, larger version of the inner one and look perfectly proportional to the inner one.
However, as you'll see in the attached, the top version (made up of the inner oval and then a 10% expaned version of it around it as the outer logo) doesn't look as proportional as the the bottom version (made-up of the inner oval and then an outer oval I drew myself that I thought looked good.)
Is there a way to create an exact, larger version of the inner oval (to use as the outer oval) that will look and be exactly proportional to the inner oval? Or is the way I'm doing it (drawing it to look as close as possible a fine way to do it)?
I'm using Illustrator CS6, and want to scale an object that has a brush applied to it without scaling the line weights in the brush. I've been able to somewhat do that by Expanding the object with the brush applied, but then of course it no longer has a brush applied to the object. Is it possible to scale an object without changing the stroke weights in the brush?
This is what I have now when I scale, the line weight of the brush scales when I scale the line weight of the line the brush is applied to:
What I want is to be able to scale the line weight of the line the brush is applied to, but not the line weight of the brush itself.
I have a script font that i need to resize. Most all the font is 144pt one of the letters needs to be 96pt. When i move just this one letter down in size the stroke on that letter looks puny and noticeably smaller.
I need a good way of maintaining the stroke thickness and moving the height and wide down to 96pt.
How can I determine if a placed image is scaled, and by what percentage?
