Illustrator :: How To Maintain Pen Tool Stroke Settings (size / Brush) For All New Paths

Jan 7, 2013

In Illustrator I want to maintain the stroke settings while creating several paths with the pen tool.  However, every time I start a new path, the stroke settings revert to what must be a default.  E.g. I set 16pt + Variable width profile + Basic and stroke a path.  When I start a new path, the settings revert to 1pt + Uniform + Basic, and I have to reset back to my original. Other art programs I've used maintain the tool settings most recently used until they are manually changed.  How can I get the settings to stay through multiple uses of the pen tool?

Illustrator :: Rounded Rectangle - Glossy Effect On Stroke

Jun 25, 2013

I have the following rounded rectangle
 
Need to make border glossy like below image

In order to do that, I've expanded this shape and created a ellipse with no stroke above button, with transparency/screen. This is what I got:

Now I need to get rid of the rest of ellipse, so the button will be transparent on upper boundaries. Inner part of button should be white, but whatever I put between button and ellipse should receive glossy effect. How to do that?

Illustrator :: CS6 - Auto Correct Rectangle Size

Sep 10, 2012

I am currently working in a Illustrator file that is 10% of the final print size. This is because the final size is 8,9 x 5,8 meters (15 x 7 times A1). It is therefor all my sizes have to be the EXACT size. Any flaws in sizes will be 10x as big on the final print.
 
So I am creating 15 x 7 A1 rectangles in my composition of 891 x 588,7 millimeters. 10% of a A1 should be 84,1x59,4mm. However, when I create a rectangle by this very size, Illustrator automatically changes it to 83,961 x 59,267 millimeters. This will result in a 5 pixel blank space on the 15 side, which means 50 pixels on the final size. I, but especially my boss ( -_-' ) would like this to be 0 pixels.
 
How to fix this auto correction? I think it will have something to do with the millimeters to pixel correction.

Illustrator :: Change Default Stroke Size Within CS5?

Feb 24, 2011

I've read several things in this forum but nothing convenient. In the past I though I was possible to change the stroke thickness with no document open and that worked for all the new documents yet to come. Well, it doesn't. The default stroke size is 1pt and I want it to change to f.e. 0,25pt. But how?

I'm using the rectangle tool but can't seem to create rectangles with different dimensions. If I select the rectangle tool and click on my layer it draws a rectangle of a fixed size. It will not let me drag the cursor to the size I want the shape.

Illustrator :: Why Rectangle Tool Matching Dimension Feature Not Working

Mar 7, 2013

With the Rectangle Tool's cursor is clicked in the document. The Rectangle Panel appears. A height dimension is entered. With the pointer, the Width field is clicked. Usually, the Height Value gets automatically entered in the Width field. In this case it does not.
 
This same behavior is occuring in the Ellipse Tool.

Illustrator :: Why Doesn't Stroke Width Tool Create Smooth Curves

Sep 30, 2013

Am I the only one who has edited a stroke with the stroke width tool, then outlined the stroke only to find a countless number of points and noticeably unsmooth edges? Is there a setting or certain way to ensure that the stroke width tool won't corrupt the smoothness of my shapes? The stroke width tool is the most handy new feature I can imagine, but this problem makes it almost entirely useless, unless designing something where precision and smoothness are not important.

Illustrator :: Jagged Curves Created With Variable Stroke Width Tool?

Jul 24, 2013

In Illustrator CS6 and CC, when the stroke width tool is used on a curve, the curve is actually made up of a series of straight lines instead of smooth vector curves:

whereas in CS5 it looks perfect.These images may be too small to see the details, but the difference is there. Is there a workaround for this? Or is it recognized as a bug?

Photoshop :: How To Solid Stroke A Feathered Rectangle?

Feb 13, 2006

I'm trying to find a way to create a rectangle layer with rounded corners. Now, I know that's easy to do, right? Just take the Rectangular Marquee tool and put a feather on it, then do a fill with the paintbucket. Wrong! The feather somehow retardedly doesn't allow the "PAINT" to stay inside the selected area, and fills a slight gradient outside the selection, like so:

The quickest way I know how to do it is....well, really NOT that quick. Here's my steps:

1) Make a circle with the Elliptical Marquee tool and save the selection.

2) Add 4 of these to a selection, making sure they're lined up properly.

3) Now fill in the inside with the Rectangular Marquee tool.

4) NOW PAINT!

Photoshop :: Transparent Rectangle With Visible Stroke?

If I make a rectangle, add a stroke border around it, is there a way to make the area of the rectangle clear/transparent but keep the stroke boarder 100% visible?

This can be easily done in InDesign by just picking (none) as a color but I dont see an obvious way to do it in photoshop.
