What is the max size of width and height in all measurement (Points, Picas, Inches, Milimeters, Centimeters, Pixels) when you create a new document? I would like it to use it together with cartesian coordinate system and ruler.

Justin, the instructor, calls the little box that immediately shows width/height a "width and height box" but searching on that term is not productive. When I run the program the device is not available, not does the video explain what option makes it available or what might have changed on my particular copy to obscure or disable the box. While I know I can get the same effect by choosing the Info window, and can even adjust the parameters more precisely using the control panel bar, I would like to have the convenience of this box.
I note that in the same video series (from Lynda.com) the same type of display device is shown when the instructor resizes a graphic. After some 30 minutes of Google searches and searching for the identity of this device and how to enable it I come up empty..

I'm totally new to Illustrator and need to make a document that is going to be placed in a magazine ad (it's a free placement, hence why I'm just trying to do it myself). I can get around in PhotoShop, but Illustrator is confusing to me. The ad dimensions are supposed to be:
2.33" w x 7.5" h
700 x 2250 pixels
When I create a new Illustrator document, leaving the Raster Effects setting in the Advanced section at 300ppi, if I change the Units setting to pixels, put in 300 for width and height, then change the Units back to Inches, it says the width and height are 4.17 in.
I found this script that makes the selected objects the same width AND height. I am very new to creating scripts. is it possible to modify this to make an object the same width leaving their heights the same?
mySelection = activeDocument.selection;
if (mySelection.length>0){
if (mySelection instanceof Array) {
goal=mySelection[mySelection.length-1];
for (i=0; i<(mySelection.length-1); i++){

I reseted my illustrator settings because it was having some problems, the settings I reset was changed everything back to pixels. I am working with small graphics that need to fit within 20x20 pixels
the problem is, when I resize something, example: 1x5, and I up the 1 to 2, it will increase it to 2 pixels from the middle of the object making it's coordinates ?.5 instead of a round number. I do not want to turn on snap anything because it worked just fine before I reseted my settings, it doesn't show it as being off at .5 but when I select multiple objects that the coordinates are at whole numbers, combines they make a number .5.
What I want - instead of the object increasing, when I up its size, from the middle of the object, I want it to increase down and to the right, keeping it's coordinates the same.
How is width and height calculated in the transform panel for an object? Does it use an average? An example can be seen in the first image. The lines are not a uniformed width.
Also, how are strokes converted from pts to pxls? For instance, if I make a stroke that is 2.3 pt, when I expand the object the width in the transform panel will say 2.3px ; however, I thought the point to pixel conversion (even for a 72 dpi screen resolution) was different. An example can be seen in the last two images, where a line was made with a specified stroke width and then expanded.
Illustrator CS6. Is there a script that inputs in a text field the width and height of an object. I do proofs and for a printing company and we always have to write the size of the artwork for the customer to approve. It's easy to do, but when you do 100's a week, it gets old and annoying. I do scale the image down to be visible on 11x8.5. I would think if there is a way to input the size of artwork, there would have to be a way to write the script so it can multiply the scaled down artwork for proofs to the actual W and H of the object. If the art is 13"W x 20"H and I put it on the proof at 10%, I want the script to input in a text field the 13"W x 20"H.

How I can select all the items on the page that are Symbol Items of symbols named "Apples" but not oranges? After that I hope to replace the instances matching the height or width of the items whichever is greater with a 3rd item name. Javascript is always an option as well but I had the same difficulty.

How to access the swatch properties, like when double clicking on the swatch in the swatches panel, how to "simulate" a drag & drop of the swatch to the document, I'll take it too, though I think it is not the most convenient way to do.
I'm looking for an existing, or a way to create, a shortcut that will adjust the stoke width in Illustrator as I draw. Something similar to the bracket key in Photoshop for changing brush size on the fly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want it to be a variable stroke, so I loaded up “Width Profile 2” in the profiles. The trouble I am having, is that Illustrator defaults to start the larger dots in the bottom right hand corner, and I would like the “starting point” to be in the middle of the line if you know what I mean. I'm still happy for the dots to start big, then gradually decrease in size, but I want to control where the “beginning” is.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to export an image of a certain width and height but when I click on export, the size doesn't remain the same. I try to change it back to the normal size but it's impossible as one number gets altered if I change the other.
I have tried with the "maintain aspect ratio" option checked and also unchecked. This has never happened before, I've always been able to export with the exact size I want, although very often I find the width and height change when I click on export but I have been able to change it back until now.
I 'm attaching images through c# using lisp _image and sendcommand in a predefined rectangle.
how can I specify width and height of the image so the image is exactly placed inside the area that I want?
(scale is not a good option because as image ratio changes scale must also change).
how do I add height (say 200px) to an image without distorting what I already have on the canvas? Whenever I add an additional 200px, everything stretches. How can I just add 200px of extra white/blank space to the canvas?

Where is the option to control page width & height so that you can make both even measurements? I typically get something like w 1920.4px & h 1080px. When I try to change the width to 1920 the height adjusts as well. I know there is a simple fix for this but I can't find it.

I want to create CSS Sprite pages, I have looked at the graphic library with its buttons and to be honest they are great but I cannot get over how you can split the mouse over images from the static none roll over images within the layers section.
Just finally can I set a snap grid with a width and height so for example I want a grid of width 100 and height say 35? again to aid in me creating CSS Sprite pages.
I have two different images. Both are set at Height and Width: 7 by 10.5 inches. However, whenever I view them, the one is always bigger than the other one. Does this have something to do with the pixel dimensions? I see that the pixel dimensions of the one is much larger.

None of the options in the image sizing dialog seem to be suitable; for instance constraining the "long edge" would work for horizontal images but not for vertical ones.

However I've hit a snag, I need to resize a layer with variable width/height to fit within a certain width/height while constraining ratios. Say I need a layer to be a maximum of 1000px high OR a maximum of 2000px wide, whichever comes first. I need the layers to either increase or decrease in size to fit the "frame".
