Illustrator :: Calculate Scale Between Two Objects (without ArtDirector Toolkit)?

Sep 14, 2012

Normally I'd use ArtDirector Toolkit, but I can't install it or oter software right now (too long to explain why).
 
Anyway I have several elements to scale, and I'm trying to find a formula/calculation to determine scale.
 
Example - 1 object is 3.7486" and I want to make it 5.3231" - how do I calculate the scale percentage to enlarge it?

Illustrator :: Can't Scale Objects / Requested Transformation Would Make Some Objects Too Small To Use

Jul 26, 2012

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

Illustrator :: Any Way To Incrementally Scale Series Of Objects?

Aug 7, 2012

I have a series of triangles along a curved path in Illustrator CS6 (mac, if that makes a difference).  I want to make the triangles large as the approach the middle of the path, and smaller towards the ends.  The triangles' lower-most corner must remain locked to the path.  I've tried pattern brushes, but not only do they distort the triangles, but there's also no way to scale the triangles reliably (to my knowledge).

Illustrator :: Type And Objects Re-scale Erratically?

Feb 7, 2014

I just installed CS6. I have found a resizing problem that seems to exist relating to both objecgts and type.
 
For example, I was changing the leading in some text. I typed in 11.8 and the next thing I know the leading is set as 2 pts. I have changed other thiings within the text window and had the type rescale its width. It is a bit like "whack-a-mole" in that you fix one thing and it resets something else.
 
When I have typed in numbers to proportionately resize an object, the next thing I know, the computer makes it much smaller. If I hit command-Z to try to get back to where I started, it resizes it in even increments (like .125" or something).
 
Is this some kind of maddening helper function (like the spelling correction in mail  program) that can be turned off?

Illustrator Scripting :: Scale Objects Proportionately To A Specific Height

Nov 5, 2012

I have multiple icons placed in a document, from several different sources (all are vector objects) -- see the included image. They vary in size and what I would like to do is find a less onerous method of resizing all the heights to a specific size, while scaling the width proportionately. I have found several scripts that come close to a solution (see links below), but none that allow me to input a height (or width) in inches and have all the objects resize to that height proportionately.
 
Change Width to the Width of the narrowest object --> Script01
Change Height to the Height of the shortest object -->  Script02
Change Multiple Attributes (JohnWundes) --> Script03

Illustrator :: Lost Ability To Free Scale Objects / Text Boxes

Maya Modeling :: Toolkit Not Working

Sep 5, 2013

If the toolkit was working without issues previously, it's possible that your Maya preferences have become corrupt. Which is what might be causing the issue. You can default your Maya preferences by renaming the "prefs" folder located in the following location:

C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsmaya2014-x64

Once you have renamed that folder to something like prefsOld restart Maya and if prompted to make sure you select the option to create default preferences. Then check to see if that fixed the toolkit issue.

Illustrator :: How To Calculate Ratios From The Actual Sizes

Mar 15, 2013

I am doing design exhibitions with interior design. The interior designer sends me an AutoCAD file. The AutoCAD can calculate ratios from the actual sizes, how about the Illustrator? Can it calculate in the same way? For example, draw the line 2 meters from ratio 1:30. Now, we have to compare and calculate length in manual way which is inconvenience for us.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Calculate ExportPNG24 Scalefactor

Oct 29, 2013

I need to export a Illustrator icon in various different resolutions e.g. 16x16, 64x64, 256x256 etc.
I wrote a simple script for this purpose which is calculating the scalefactor out of the image width and the desired resolution.
 
The scale factor is calculated by this simple formular:
 
var bounds = item.visibleBounds;
var width = bounds[2] - bounds[0];
var scaleFactor = 100.0 * desiredPixelWidth / width;
 
The resulting images are correct for small images from 16px to 512px but for larger images the resulting images are too big:
 
desiredWidth resultingWidth1024102520482050409641006000600680008008(the calculated value for width is 512.5)
 
I have to multiply the scaleFactor with a correctionFactor of ~0.999 to get correct results:
 
var bounds = item.visibleBounds;
var width = bounds[2] - bounds[0];
var scaleFactor = 99.9 * desiredPixelWidth / width;
 
Why the correctionFactor has to be applied and what the correct value is.

Illustrator :: How To Calculate Rotation Degree Of Tick Marks

May 21, 2012

I learned out to make the tick marks using copies and rotation.  My question now is, how is the rotation calculated so A) I get the correct placement of the tick marks, especially the small ones as there are so many and B) how do I calculate the rotation degree so that I have the proper amount of space at the bottom of the guage/dial?

I know how to get the large tick marks and the small tick marks, if I were placing them evenly around the entire circle, I would know how to do that also - but since I'm placing them around only a portion of the circle (although still evenly) I'm lost.  I can only figure out the space by hit and miss calculations and that is taking much too long.  I would also need to know how much to rotate the entire thing by in order to get the open space at the bottom as shown.

Maya :: Modeling Toolkit Not Working In Orthographic Views

May 20, 2013

recently i tried working with the modeling toolkit in maya 2014, and it works great in perspective,but for some reason when im in component mode and I try and make a marquee selection, the marquee does not show up although it does select the component.

After selecting some component and try moving then with the translate handles, it does not move at all, instead it deselect the components.I am able to middle click move components.

So i decided to turn off the modeling toolkit and everything worked fine with the classic manipulators.

3ds Max :: Resetting Scale Of Objects?

Apr 11, 2013

I have a problem with an old item I made in Max. In my newbishness I made an item that when exported (to OBJ) scales up to 10 times its original size.

Example: its 24cm in MAX

In VUE its 2.4 meters.

How do I 'reset' the scale, so that when it reads 2 meters in Max, it's 2 meters when I export it.

Obviously I made it incorectly in the first place, but dont want to remake it... There must be a way to sort this out no?

AutoCAD LT :: How To Use Annotation Scale Objects

Jul 1, 2012

using ACADLT  2008

I wanted  to use annotation scale objects long time ago, but I was scared…why?In the office no one knows what annotative objects  are.

I already start to imagine the "curses"  I'll get when they open my drawings in their computers and see that the dimensionin the drawing are not scaled the way they used to.

I was thinking about telling them a command that will do the magic.

Photoshop :: Smart Objects No Longer Scale?

Apr 9, 2012

Smart Objects previously created no longer scale properly. These objects have live type and vector shapes in them, but they behave just like raster elements. These objects scaled properly in the past, and I can only think a setting has broken somewhere.
 
I've tried restarting, trashing the prefs and creating a new object just to see what would happen, but to no avail...

AutoCAD .NET :: Scale Objects On Screen Within Function

Oct 7, 2010

I have a function that uses AcadApplication.ActiveDocument.SendCommand to allow the user to scale the inserted lines and text before the next step of the process, but AutoCAD does not display the scale prompt until after the entire program finishes.  The prompt works well, but needs to be displayed before I end the sub.

How do I get the command to be sent immediately?  Is there another way to allow users to scale the items I insert?  The screen needs to be refreshed before the scale command is called, so that the lines and text I just added shows up.  I have attached the code for the Send Command call and for the function that calls it.

AutoCAD .NET :: Transformation Matrix To Adjust Objects Scale

Sep 6, 2013

I'm using a transformation matrix to adjust objects scale.

Sub Scale()
[...]
''Definition of the matrix
Dim ScaleMatrix(0 To 15) As Double

ScaleMatrix(0) = X_ScaleFactor
ScaleMatrix(1) = 0

[Code] ......

If X_ScaleFactor = Y_ScaleFactor all works fine, but if X_ScaleFactor <> Y_ScaleFactor (e.g. X_ScaleFactor = 2 and Y_ScaleFactor = 4  I get the following exception: eCannotScaleNonUniformly. 

It isn't possible to define different scale factors for X and Y axis? It seems a strange thing.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Globally Scale Outlines With Objects

May 11, 2013

Outlines don't scale globally with objects.  I have a crest with a bunch of elements in it.  Some have outlines and some don't.  It's 3 inches.  I would like to enlarge it to 10 or whatever.  If I select the crest and enlarge it, the outlines don't scale.  The only option I've ever known of was to take them all individually and check off the scale outline on each object.  It's a real workflow killer.

I spent the day reacquainting myself with CorelDraw.  This and other similar show stoppers remind me of how difficult it is to make the switch from Illustrator back to CorelDraw.  So how are people dealing with this?  Are you simply taking however much time it takes to change each individual element to scale with object or is there a preference somewhere that I'm missing?  This is a big stumbling block for me.  There are a lot of major features I know I'd be leaving behind but there are others that I'd have access to.  It's the little things like this that allow me to fly rather than crawl.

3ds Max :: Scale Multiple Objects At Once Without Making Them Move Along The Axis Being Scaled

Jul 8, 2011

I have several pillars that I want to scale down to the same size, but I don't want to have to scale them individually or reposition them once I'm done. Is there any way to scale them all without making them move along the axis being scaled? (I should have made them instances of each other. My only problem there is that I couldn't reposition one pillar without moving the others. for future reference, is there a way to temporarily break the instance relationship so on can be edited?)
