Illustrator :: Color Fill Sketched / Scanned Object Without Tracing It With Vectors?

Sep 27, 2013

Is it possible on illustrator or any other programs you know of?
 
I've tried using the live paint bucket but it won't color in the sections the way I want. 
 
It is a very complex sketch and it's going to take forever if I try to trace it all with vectors.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Symbol - Fill Text Box With White Color

Feb 2, 2012

I want to fill the text box with white color so that the hatching in the views does not interfere with the text inside my text symbol.

as per my understanding this is not possible.. I thought of an alternative-- draw a rectangle instead of text box but was not able to find a way to make it fit to the length of the text. Note that : the text will be varying and so the text length.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Tracing Bitmap For Making Vectors

Illustrator :: Copying Object With Color Fill From One Document To Another

May 23, 2012

I have come across a rather disturbing bug in Illustrator when copying an object with a color fill from one document to another.
 
Both  documents have the same color space. Lets look at this example to see the condition. Make two documents with the same color space.
 
Make an object and assign a color to it. Lets say Pantone 201C and set it to a CMYK build - not a true spot color. Now make another document with the exact same Pantone 201C color -  but specify it as a true spot color. Now copy and paste from one document to the next. As you shall see, you will get a dialog box warning you to add or discard the color to the recieving document as expected. This is a good behavior that tells the user that you have the same color builds but assigned different values.
 
Now what happens if we assign one document a book color value of PMS 201C and the other document a "spot" color build of PMS 201C.  So we now have two PMS colors in two documents with different values assigned to them. Drag and drop or copy and paste an object from one document to the next. You shall now see that the recieving document now has two objects with the same PMS name, but two different color builds (and visual color differences).
 
What should happen in this situation is the user be prompted with a dialog box to either merge the two similar PMS spot color builds or add - like what you see when copying an object with the same color buld name, but has a different value assigned between the two.
 
Some of our designers are just going ape over this condition and I hope this bug could be addressed in a .01 release.

Illustrator :: Fill Object With Solid Color With Lines Through It?

Illustrator :: How To Fill / Join Or Outline A Group Of Vectors For Masking

Jan 28, 2013

Using CS6 I have a bitmap I traced, which worked great. Now I want to create a mask similar to this horse head decal. Since the white isn't actually a shape I keep getting the error that I have to join the shapes. But it's a collection of black vectors that make up the image. What would be the best way to create an outline, or a fill that I could use to mask with? In photoshop I remember you paint a mask area.Which would be ideal. Is there a simular way to to this wiht CS6?

Illustrator :: Tracing Object And Removing Background

Illustrator :: How To Clean Up Scanned Sketch And Creating Fill Areas

Apr 18, 2013

I am having trouble when tracing a sketch to convert it to vector.  I have tried scanning it into photoshop first then exporting it to illustrator, and also just scanning in as a jpeg and opening it in illustrator.
 
The trouble I am experiencing is that the lines are not clean, but appearing very grainy.  When i choose Fills I get the best result, but with Strokes i get 2 thin lines and obviouly no fill.
 
Either way I can make the color of the lines all the same, but am unable to create objects within the lines to fill with color, such as face, sunglasses, etc.  I can do it with live paint but I know there are other ways to color in files in AI.
 
Here are the original, the fill, and the stroke result outcomes

Here are the files on dropbox [URL] .....

Illustrator :: Fill Section But Using Fill / Stroke Only Changes Line Color

Feb 17, 2013

I traced an image earlier, expanded it then wanted to change the line colour. For some reason I couldn't get this to work even though I've done it in the past. So, I used the magic wand to select the line then dragged it into my new document and changed the line colour.
 
Now, I want to change the fill on certain sections, however when I change the stroke it changes the colour of the line and when I change the fill it changes the color of the line.

Illustrator :: Object Layering Opacity - Fill Doesn't Block Out Object Paths Beneath

Jul 14, 2013

I am having some trouble with a file in Illustrator CS6. Within a layer, when I add a fill to an object, the fill doesn't block out the object paths beneath. For instance, say I have a square object overlapping a circle object in Layer 1. The square object is above the circle in the layer. When I add a fill to the square, the circle stroke still shows through the square even though the overlapped part should be blocked out by the fill. The square is set to normal visibility, and I have made sure that there are no duplicate paths that would account for what I am seeing. (I.e., it's not a case where there's a second identical circle path that is on top of the square, so that it remains visible in spite of the fill.)
 
Other details:
- I'm mainly working with a white fill, but the problem is the same with fills of any color
- When there's a fill color in the circle path as well, the circle's fill color *is* blocked out—just not its stroke.
- I have restarted Illustrator and restarted my computer and these have not changed anything.
- There are other layers within the same document where the normal layering rules work.
- I tried copy/pasting some of the problem objects into a new document, and in the new document, the fill works properly.
- If I move the problem objects to another layer, then the fill works as it should. But as I'm dealing with a number of paths, it doesn't make sense to create a layer for each to solve the problem.
 
I can't tell if it's a matter of working in too large or complex a file.

Photoshop :: Fill Object Color In Form

Sep 6, 2005

I received a floor plan from our corporate office and can't figure out how to color code restaurant table sections. There has to be a way in either adobe 7.0 pro or in ps 7.0 that you can fill color into an object. Also, for some reason when i create text boxes they don't appear nor do they print. I am really really new to editing pdf files and ps and adobe 7.0 pro.

Illustrator :: How To Change Stroke Color While Retaining Fill Color Using Eye Dropper

Jan 6, 2013

I have a question regarding illustrator. Let's say I have a circle with blue fill and red stroke. And I place an image in the illustrator file. Now I want to change the red stroke of my circle to let's say a purple color by sampling the color from the image.

How can I achieve that with a eye dropper tool? Every time when I try to sample a color from the image, the whole circle will change to purple instead of just the stroke? I have tried multiple key combination, shift, alt, ctrl but they all don't work.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Importing PDF Files Overlapping Vectors Fill In Black Or White

Apr 24, 2013

Have an issue when importing pdf files into both X5 and X6. Fonts have been converted to outline and without Ghost script installed overlapping vectors fill in with white! With Ghost script installed center of fonts like e,b,p etc fill in with font color. Convert to eps prior to importing still has the issue? Also had some objects reposition on import but fixed if converted to eps? Processing a lot of client files for output to image so this is a real problem.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Fill Object With Oblique Lines Of One Color

Somehow I can not figure out how to do it: ps textures are useless/complex and other standard off are not "leaky". So far I have dealt with manually, copy lines and trimming.

I have a file with two squares with red and blue fill colors respectively and transparent surrounding strokes.

Illustrator :: How To Combine Two Paths Into One Object - Fill And Gradient Mesh

Jan 20, 2013

I'm having problems getting what I want on Illustrator CS6. This is the shape that I'm working on: [URL]
 
I got two paths, one for the inner outline, one for the outer. I want this to be one object, looking just like that, where red is the fill, and black is the outline. Simple as that. [URL] - this is what i want.
 
So, the inner "circle" is not filled with anything, beacause my object is this "frame" outside. But since I have two seperate paths, I'm filling the outer path with colour, and I get:
 
[URL] the outer filling is red, the outside is transparent, which is good, but the inside is red because the inner path has no filling.
 
Right, so next I fill the inner path with white and it looks almost good: [URL]
 
But the inside is not transparent, it's an "illusion" and everything will be great on a white background, but that's not the case.
 
I want to convert these to paths into one object to behave exactly like I showed in the first image. Red is the fill, black is the outline. And I plan to use gradient mesh heavily on that shape, so that has to work to.
 
Bad quality, just doing some quick previews on Photoshop.

Illustrator Scripting :: Apply Current Fill Color To Stroke Then Adjust That Stroke Color's Build?

Apr 9, 2013

I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
 
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
 
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
 
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white.

Illustrator :: Adjust Color Of Pattern Fill?

Jun 23, 2012

Is there a way to adjust the color of a pattern fill without changing the actual pattern?
 
Sometimes I do this by overlaying another solid color fill on top of the pattern fill, and use multiply or other blend modes.  This works except when the pattern contains empty/transparent areas: in this case the solid color would pass through and affect the object below the pattern, which is unwanted.
 
So basically, is there a way to isolate the color change to a single object?  I've tried with "Isolate Blending" and "Knockout Group" with no success...
