how to shfit one character to the left or right in a word ? Character spacing feature is all I see here, but it adds a space between all the letters. Highlighting one character does not do the trick either......
I would like to create string that would be tied to a rod and wrapped around an axle. Then when the rod is moved the string rotates the axle, but the string continues to grow as it is being pulled.
I have a block that I would like make dynamic. It is a fishhook arrow for a roundabout traffic sign. I would like to rotate the head to various angles, and have the body of the arrow adjust. I already have the ability to stretch the two end points in their direction, and rotate the head, but the curved part of the arrow body needs to adjust for the new head location. I tried dynamic stretch, but it would not attach to the rotate dimension. How do I get these arcs to stretch along their radii and associate the end arc points to the near end of arrow head?
I had one thought of using multipe arcs so that they would overlap more or less as rotated, but this is a pretty crude workaround.
I have created a dynamic block. Herein I placed stretch actions parameter set to strecht parts including anotative text.
Now the block seems to work fine.
- When I am in modelspace and I change the annotation scale the text is changed correct
- When I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value of the dynamic block everything goes fine.
But when I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value in one of the annotiaton scales and then switch to another scale my text is changed annotativly (this is what I want) but the stretch value is set back to default (which should be at the changed value).
How to export the .dwg file to Microsoft WORD as a base/background for further word processing on top? Is there any direct way to convert the file that can use in WORD?
I create a file in .ai (small logo for document headers, mostly text), save type to outlines, save an .eps version and import into MS Office Word, save as a PDF and the image comes out with jagged edges. PNG comes out blurry and faded in PDF (it's fine in Word). So I need to make my image available for a Word header for a document that will be saved as a PDF.
On one PC (CS6, MS office 2007) I can select a line, press ctrl+c, flip to ms word, press ctrl+v and the line shows up. Then the line looks like it was created in word. It is also possible to edit the line in word now.
On another PC (Adobe CC, MS offise 2007 if I do it the same way the following text shows up in word:
I am using Illustrator and I want to be able to select the arm or leg of a line drawing cartoon character and reposition it to create a new position without having to redraw the arm or leg.
I know you can do this in After Effects with the puppet tool. Is there a similar function in Illustrator?
I have a hard drive containing hundreds of Illustrator (AI) files, however they have been saved all over the place!I want to...
1) do a search for all AI files containing the word "invoice" (case-insensitive) 2) be able to copy those files to a new location (preferably in one large drag-and-drop copy action).
I am currently running Windows XP with Adobe Illustrator CS3.
I believe it is called merge?? I am new to illustrator and am working on learning new tricks, I have come to a road block here.
Here is a set up:
I have font image with a tail connected to the font, Inside the tail i have another font that i want to weld, merge or whatever you call it so that when i remove the letters it is for say burnt into the tail so when i print it there will be no color. ( I am screen printing t shirts) see image for more details basically I want to screen print the image below in black, and keep the cafe hollow so it will take on the color of the shirt.
Using the new caracter font scroll feature in CS6. When scrolling through fonts by highlighting in the carater box and watching my type change from font to font, it will come to a stop at certain fonts.
I think stretch is the right word I'm looking for... I figured out how to outline the text, and I ungrouped the outline. However if I stretch the whole letter, the left "leg" of the 'R' goes down as well. I just want to stretch the right "leg" of the 'R' so that it reaches the bottom of the word Agency.
I've designed a logo for a client using Illustrator CS6. There is the 4-color version in CMYK .eps as well as 1-color, 2-color, and KO versions. Everything looks and acts as it should and will no doubt be perfect for offset printing (my main area of experience). However, once delivered to the client they were anxious to put them into use and immediately dropped the 4-color version into a word document and made a pdf for email distribution. When I received it I had to groan, the colors had shifted to the obscene.
My guess is that what the client needs is a set of the logos that are converted to RGB. I'm also thinking that since the logos might be re-sized for various uses, keeping the art in the .eps format (as opposed to a raster format) makes sense. Is that true?
Is there an easy way to convert the original CMYK eps files to RGB within Illustrator?
On printing setup or save file , it got show the words on the photo 1 & 2. But when i print it out , the words are missing but number is still there as shown on photo 3..
I use Adobe Illustrator CS4 in a MAC. I want to establish a chemical formula MO3- with Illustrator. It seems that I can only first type NO3, and then set 3 as subscript, afterwards I input -, and set it as superscript. But in this case 3 and – are not consistent in the horizontal position.
So I am wondering how to set up subscript and superscript to the same word at the same time?
I'm needing to loop through each character of a text frame and check the color of each character. Is it possible to get the swatch name of each character? Or can you only get the red, green, blue values?
When using the type tool in Illustrator, setting the font size to 150mm give me a character size of 107,373mm and in the H value window it says the size is 185,15mm wich mean that none of the sizes is actually correct when using text and for me that is usless because I get drawings with spesific text hight and length.
I recently upgraded my 07 macbook pro to a 2012 macbook pro with retina display running 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. I had no issues with my old mac the entire adobe ran perfect now I am having issues with Illustrator CS5. Each time I navigate the character drop down menu Illustrator crashes on me. I get this page:
I am exporting a table - save from Excel to PDF. Open in AI and export to EMF. The word 'Difficult' in one column comes out 'Dif cult' in every occurance. It worked with a different table one time last week but now happens with every table I attempt to export. I even went to an extra step of saving the PDF to AI and then exporting to EMF. Same results.
I created a character in illustrator that I plan to use in animations and on the web. When I shrink the vector to the size of, for example, a small avi picture for social media, I significantly lose line quality. How can I maintain the quality of detail? Is there a specific way that I should save or setup the document?
