Illustrator Scripting :: CS5 - Change To Global Rulers Is Scriptable?

Nov 18, 2010

I wonder if the CS5 command "Change to global rulers" is scriptable. When I try to record it as an Action script step, it is not recorded and I do not see anything in the JavaScript-ing guide on setting this programatically either.

Illustrator :: Area Type Tool Will Not Draw Area

Sep 9, 2013

After selecting the area type tool, I try to click and drag but I get an error message: You must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text inside a path.  This worked before but I must have screwed something up.

Illustrator :: Using Scatter Brush To Draw Multiple Lines - Spacing Option Follows Size Of Base Object

Aug 25, 2012

1. original

2. doubled horizontal size of the line

I'm using scatter brush to draw multiple lines with random size and angle(image 1.), and trying to increase only the horizontal size(image 2.), keeping the interval the same. But when I do, the interval is also increased since 'Spacing' option follows the size of the base object.  I could adjust and decrease the spacing value, but the problem is, spacing option cannot go below 1%. So if want to increase the line size and maintain the interval, there's no way to do it. expending then scaling could work, but that's not what I want.

Illustrator :: Scaling Area Type Within A Box?

Dec 12, 2013

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.

Illustrator :: Rotate Text Within Area Type

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to rotate text inside an text area type.That is, rotate the text (so its e.g. 30 degrees going across the screen), but the area it is within does not rotate.
 
Everything I try when rotating rotates the entire area + the text in side, which makes the positioning of the shape my text is in wrong.I am after being able to change the inside text angle and content whenever needed.

Illustrator :: Area Type Box - Justify All Lines

Oct 23, 2012

I want to create an Area Type box and have all of the text line up on both the left and right sides, so I use the Justify all Lines option.
 
1. After doing this, is there a way to adjust the spacing of the headline? I tried adjusting the tracking, though that didn't work. Is the only way to use a separate Area Type or Point Type for the headline so it is not affected by the Justify all Lines option?
 
2. Is there another way to acheive what I want?

Illustrator :: How To Control Leading For Area Type Over Multiple Styles

Apr 17, 2013

Really hoping there's some way to control leading for area type over multiple styles and various font sizes simultaneously.
 
Know I can change the auto leading percentage, but that's rudimentary.
 
For example, how can I add leading incrementally to this column without a lot of tedious selecting and style editing?

Illustrator Scripting :: Symbol Is Within Rectangle Vector Area / Parent Child Relationship In HTML

May 30, 2012

I think the execution would be relatively easy. how to tell detect if a symbol is within a rectangle vector area. so almost like a parent child relationship in HTML goes? was thinking about getting top bottom left and right of a layer called parent then checking all layers below it (maybe they have "child" naming scene, so i can match by layer name) if the top bottom left and right are >=/<= the one above it. so it is basically detecting if a box is inside another box.

URL...need to detect is symbol1 is within div1 or 2 and same with symbol2

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Automate Importing Variable And Datasets Into Graphs Via Scripting

Dec 18, 2012

I'm try to automate the importing of the Varaible and datasets into my graphs via Scripting, but the ImportVaraibles() function doesn't seem to work.  Here is my Script, mostly copied from the example script provided with Illustrator (CS5).  And, this works manually, using the file names in the script, via Load Variable Library
 
    Set appRef = CreateObject(strIllistratorVersion)
   
       'Open the file and import the datasets
        Set docRef = appRef.Open(strTemplate & "200-500.ai")
        'docRef.Datasets.RemoveAll
        docRef.Variables("Yearbook").Delete
 
Here is the problem, after I delete the previous library, then this next line, right from the example, does nothing
The script then exits with 'No Datasets in this document'
       
docRef.ImportVariables (strXMLFolder & "Lumber_200-500.xml")
'appRef.DoJavaScript "alert('Template:" & strTemplate & strRange & ".ai  |  XML file:" & strXMLFolder & ""  & objFile.Name & "^')"
        If (appRef.Documents.Count > 0) Then
            Set docRef = appRef.Documents(1)

 [Code]....
 
If I remove that delete line, the script runs, but just uses whatever Variables I had last loaded, not the XML file.
 
It's simply not loading.  What do I need to do to get it to load?

Illustrator :: Remove Layer Option Color Option?

Jan 13, 2012

I cannot stand it when I make a new layer in Illustrator and the color hint becomes yellow. This usually happens on the third new layer into every project. I can go in and manually change it from yellow to the ten plus other colors, but I just want yellow completely out of the list. It's awful to look at, and I think every other color is easier.

Illustrator :: How To Change Type Insertion Point Vs Type Tool Cursor Position

Feb 11, 2014

I'm using AI CC now, but I noticed this problem in earlier versions of AI: If I want to place a one-word label on an illustration I move the type insertion cursor to a speific point on the screen image and click, but then the flashing insertion point, where the label will actually start, pops up elsewhere, usually a line or two above where the cursor was, and a pica or two to the left, forcing me to type the label, then move it into position rather than simply typing it in the right place and moving on. The problem is merely annoying, but I'd like to fix it. It's probably a matter of ignorance-I simply haven't read the right documentation, but I don't know what to call the problem. Where can I find out how to change the position of the cursor relative to the insertion point?

Illustrator :: CS5.5 Type Not Editable Not Selectable With Type Tool?

Jul 2, 2012

Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
 
By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

3ds Max Modeling :: Opposite Of Inset / Outside Ring

Mar 19, 2012

I want to make a ring of polygons on the outside of a polygon-like the inset function when you get to >=2, but without all of the twisted polygons beneath it. Is there a way to do this using a tool, or do I have to manually add them myself?

I can make the larger radii on the connection pieces. Untwisting the polygon (rotating it -180) and then extruding/hinging works, however is there an easier way than that?

Illustrator :: How To Decrease Spacing Between Shapes

Jun 18, 2013

I am trying to create an outer border for some tires.
 
I have created a solid shape and then, with it, a pattern brush. But I do not want all of this spacing between the shapes, so is there a way to DECREASE the spacing or get rid of the spacing altogether. Currently it is set at 0%.
 
Also, is there a way to raise the shapes so that the shape baselines are resting on the OUTSIDE of the ellipse that is drawn? See first image below where the middle of shapes intersect with the outline of the drawn ellipse.

Photoshop Elements :: Choose A Dropdown Option For Page Set-up Sheet / Media Type

Oct 26, 2012

Using photoshop elements 9, the print driver printer settings are not allowing me to choose a drop-down option for page set-up "sheet" or "media type". This is where I should be able to choose "cassette", but it's only showing me a blank drop down. I tried Espon help. I tried Adobe chat. Using a MacBook Pro 10.6.8. Just getting to the "printer settings" is buggy too, as it won't go to it until I've chosen another option, e.g. "Roll Paper Settings" first.
