I was wondering if it is possible to style only the borders of an icon. On these icons [URL].... you can see they have some kind of effect around the borders. that I am trying to accomplish the same thing in a set of icons but I can't figure out how to make a similar style/effect.
View 4 RepliesI have a large batch of OS data covering the housing stock of a housing association which I'd like to break down into 81seperate local area maps. There are 162 of these files and each of the local area maps covers 3 or so of the shp files. I'd like to style each map the same.
So I go into the style manager for one of the loaded shape files and create a simple style.
rule 1 DESCGRP = "Road" Style: none
rule 2 Default = thin black polygon.
I'd like some way fo doing this automatically or simply. Because doing it 162 times with all the shp files loaded is majorly time consuming and at soem point I'd like to be able to use more complex styles. Is there any easy way of doing this?
I also have all the shp files as gz files if that would make life easier and as lines rather than polygons.

I have a rectanlgle the same size as the artboard. I added a 2px border around the rectangle. It is centered vertically and horizontally to the artboard. When I save it as a PNG(save for web) the border gets cut off.

How I can export this banner within the borders? When i export it as a JPEG it exports the whole thing instead of just the borders. I was expecting it to be a bit like Flash, where you can draw outside the borders yet it will only show within the borders.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm designing a new logo for a client and I would like a rectangular form on the background. There is a C-formed shape in the rectangle which should be clipped in the final version. (so if used on black background for example, there's only the regular form on the background with the C in it, but not the shape of the C outside the rectangle on the left and right of the rectangle).
Clipping could be an option but it gives me those fine strokes...
The first image is the ideal result (but not clipped so with shapes of the C outside the box on a coloured background). The 2nd is the result when clipped. Note the small lines where the C-shape touches the borders of the rectangle on the left, right and bottom of the rectangle.
I have a large project (shirt block pattern) that I need to print as a poster, I'm wondering if there's any way to add a border around each tile when printing, since I can't print to the edges of the paper it would save me having to draw in each border before cutting (to ensure I don't cut the edge crookedly).

I create all of my lineart for illustrations, in Adobe Illustrator. I use the pen tool in combination with the line width tool to create line weight. Once I have completed all of the line work, I select everything and Expand. This results in not having fills for teh areas of the illustration which need to be colored.
From there, what I do is select everything > livepaint > make. I then fill in each area with a base color, using the live paint bucket tool. Once completed, I again select everything > expand. This leaves me fills that I can select indivually to apply gradients and work with directly.
This process works great until I expand the live paint group. After expanding, there is a very thin white border everywhere that two seperate colors meet. This only happens after expanding, it does not happen when it is still a live paint group. I have tried every option in the expand window, and get the same result.
I have exported the completed work in several formats ( .jpg, eps, .png ) and the lines are still there.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI only have one layer in the document - it is not locked. I have already tried locking it, unlocking it, creating new layers, locking/unlocking those.I am not able to access Object>Unlock All.
I have done Hide All Layers/Show All Layers - so there is nothing hidden..I have even opened a previous project, and it has the same symbol on it and none of these methods of correcting it works either. It printed fine on Friday.
When I create an entirely new document, the icon is still there.
I routinely add paths to existing Live Paint Groups, by dragging a path that is outside the group, into the LP group. But AI won't let me drag the "selection icon" from a nested layer, into an existing LP Group. Why?
It seems I'm requesting the same action, but AI won't allow the icon to be dragged into the group. I have to either open the layer and drag the objects directly, or drag the objects into the main layer, then into the Live Paint Group. I think this is an interface flaw.
FYI… I realize I could jump into the Live Paint Group using Isolation mode, but that takes extra steps and makes the template less useful.
Every time I start up Illustrator CC 17.1.0, I see this annoying, grammatically incorrect message. To top it off, when it disappears, the invisible notification area icon remains. And the kicker: when I close Illustrator, the icon still remains until I hover the mouse cursor on it.

What does this notification even mean? That I can change DPI in Windows settings?
