Illustrator :: Column Break When Working With Text?
Jun 19, 2012
I have an illustrator file with some text flowed in and the area type options setup to create two columns. I would like to have a paragraph break move to the second column using some sort of column break (number enter key in indesign). Is this possible in illustrator?
I have a brochure that was supplied by a client that I have to re edit to fit more text.I cannot get words to break causing gaps in text.I switched hyphenation on and of, word break on and of without any change in text.
I am using AutoCAD 2013 - Educational Version, and I want to convert my linework into a column grid. For some reason the COLUMNGRIDADD command is not being recognized by the program. When I type it in the command line, it just says Unknown Command.
Additionally, my Build Panel is missing from the ribbon, which is the other source for the column grid tools. I tried to reload or change the CUI, but so far this has not been successful.
i was using autocad 2013 without any trouble, i used break at point two times, after that i modified some layers and i think that nothing else, and the command break at point stopped working, when i press it it automatically uses the command break. what is going on?
I'm trying to add a gradient to my text but it seems like it's not working anymore. It was working just yesterday.I've browsed other discussions and it seems like a "Type" problem. However I tried adding a Fill and it still does not work.
In Bill of material i have custom PartQty column and is beside QTY column. I need all informations from QTY column to PartQty column to copy. Possible with iLogic? I'm selecting now manualy copy and paste but it would be nice to have automatic.
Lightroom may have a great photo editing set of capabilities, but text soooo leaves a lot to be desired. Why isn't there a template in the book module for two columns of text on a page. It seems like a no-brainer.
I am using the Enhanced Custom Grid in Architecture 2014. Everything is right about the grid except that the text inside the bubbles is mirrored. I am looking at the plan view (not the bottom) and my UCS is square to the world so I'm not sure what's going on.
I am using AutoCAD 2011, there are new options of "no columns" "dynamic columns" and "static columns" for multiple text. I am used to "No columns" but it seems to be set to "Dynamic columns" by default, wonder if there is any setting to change default to "No columns". Or any Lisp can be used.
I am working in Illustrator CS4, and finished a 2-sided mailer/postcard for a client in cmyk. After emailing the final PDF to the client, the client responded back to me with their print provider's request for— "native file, with black and PMS broken out".
First—the file was set up as CMYK, so I am assuming it was partly a lazy response/request? (not realizing it was set up as CMYK).
Second—I typically I send files to commercial print providers as a PDF (Press Quality or PDF/X:1a)—is this not sufficient for them—and why?
Lastly, I would specifically like to know what steps I should take to prepare CMYK colors "broken out".
does Inventor offers any option to break geometry lines in drawing behind the text (e.g. notes and dimensions)? I tried this in IV 2009 as well as in IV 2011, but the result is the same in both version, shown on first image. The text is sometimes difficult to read when it is crossed with geometry lines.
I have text in a frame with a table in it, connected to a Word file. Every time I try to copy text in it, InDesign goes into a loop while it refers back to the original file. It does it a bunch of times, I assume (but don't know) once for every row in the table. The loop takes three or four minutes to complete and there's nothing I can do until it's finished... I want to break that link and just have it as a normal text box, rather than a placed one. How do I do that?
aIs there a way to Format the Column Header to wrap text & rotate text if necessary? I would prefer if I could only Format the QTY Column Headers, but leave the others s is.
I sometimes need to export artwork from Flash, then edit it in Illustrator or simply save it as an .ai file for other people to use. I used to simply export an .eps file from Flash which worked perfectly asided from sometimes needed to readjust transparencies. However in CS5 I only have the FXG option - this makes editing artwork a long drawn out process of selecting movie clips and clicking "break link" then doing the same for the contents of that movie clip. Using "select all" on the artboard will not give me the break link option if anything other than a movie clip is selected.
In cs6 when I break a link to a symbol, the symbol group becomes a sublayer and the layers panel gets expanded showing all the objects in that layer. I then have to collapse the menu. every time I select any object that was part of the symbol, my layers panel expands. this is very frustrating. so avoided it, when I break a symbol, I have to select the objects from the menu panel and move them out of the sublayer. this is not very fun to do when I have a lot of symbols to deal with.
so is this a new behavior in cs6, is there a way for a symbol to break into a group and not a sublayer (ithink that's what's happening not sure)?
If I right click on a symbol instance, I get a menu item, "Break link to symbol." How can I do that same thing in Javascript?
1) That is, how do I use Javascript to break the link between a SymbolItem and the Symbol it represents? (i.e. without deleting the Symbol?)
2) Once the link is broken, how do I locate the Layer that was created when the link was broken? That is, once the link is broken, it is no longer a SymbolItem; it becomes a Layer instead. How do I locate that Layer?
When creating strokes with the calligraphic brush (using an Intuos5), I noticed that the eraser tool breaks the stroke thickness when apllied to the calligraphic stroke. The entire stroke defaults to an undesired,uniform thickness.
See video here: [URL] ...
So why does this happen? Is there some way to prevent the eraser from destroying the stroke thickness?
when I switch tab once at the end of the line sits the line break outside of the paragraph text frame..The background color so then runs out of the frame.A wish at left line intent (or right) it should be possible to fill these also with the background color and a function that assigns every second line is a background color..
So I want to type in a column, so I went to type > type orientation. However, Each character is vertical. I want to type two characters on a line, then break to the next 'line', as I'm working on a calendar piece and I want all numbers to be aligned straight up and down.
