Illustrator :: Drag A New Symbol Instance To Artboard And Resize The Instance Alignment With Pixel Grid
Oct 21, 2012
Sometimes when I drag a new symbol instance to my artboard and resize it, the instance looses it alignement with the pixel grid.
This happens despite the fact that...
I checked the box for pixel grid alignement when I created the documentthe symbol option is set for align to pixel gridthe original shape in the symbol is aligned to pixel grindthe original shape has the align to pixel grid check box in the transform panel checked
So why when I resize the symbol instance does it break the pixel grid alignmnet and result in a blurred 1px stroke?

I'm trying to swap symbols in situ by changing the 'name' property of the symbol instance.
My rudimentary script can find the existing symbol name (for me, that's a small triumph!). The Illustrator document has two symbols in the Symbols panel, 'blue_square' and 'red_circle'. I run the script with an instance of 'blue_square' (and nothing else) on the page, and try to change the name to 'red_circle':
var docRef = activeDocument;
var symbolitem = docRef.symbolItems[0]
var symbolname = symbolitem.symbol.name;
var newname = "red_circle";
symbolitem.selected = true;
// this next line causes the problem:
symbolitem.symbol.name = newname;
This causes an error - 'the name is in use'.

Well, I need a little slideshow of images, the code for mouse events (click, mouseover, mouseout, etc.) is the same for all images, then I create a symbol with one image inside for this, and drag&drop instances to stage, but now I don't know how change the image source of other symbols. In design time, when right click over any symbol instance only edit symbol it's possible (not single instance), and I don't know if is possible to change the image source of any symbol instance by code.

If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go back in, the pixels bleed into each other because the pixel grid is not aligned correctly. Instead it is aligned to the global document grid which the symbol content is not placed in. It makes no sense to align the pixel grid to the global coordinates when the content by definition is not present in it.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
This is a valid bug in Illustrator CS6. Please specify:
1. Do you understand what I am specifying? If you do not I will provide images as I wish to resolve this functionality.
2. Specify if it has been fixed in Illustrator CC. I do not have an available Win7 installation to test CC but if it is I will acquire one.

I was just wondering: what is the best way to vectorize for instance drawings you have on JPEG on the computer?
For example: I have an image of a circus poster with a beautiful clown on it. How can I vectorize it and modernize it?

Ever since installing SP3 if I double click a file out of the file system I get another instance of CD open with the correct page size but no graphics in it. I then have to close that CD session and drag the file into the already open instance of CD... no biggie but annoying as I double click out of the file explorer all the time.

I'had just met another matter for my Add-on. I noticed that when I instance a new drawing, while a first one is opened, when I load a new Form, this one keep all first drawing's properties. What could happen?
For example, I would like to add the layer list on a ComboBox.
My source:
Private Sub LayerBox_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load '***************************' '* Initialisation LayerBox *' '***************************' Using acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() acLyrTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) For Each acObjId As ObjectId In acLyrTbl acLyrTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acObjId, OpenMode.ForRead) ComboBox1.Items.Add(acLyrTblRec.Name) Next acObjId End Using End Sub
This source works, but if i instance a new form on a new drawing, the first drawing's layer list is kept and the new layer list on the second drawing is ignored!

I have created a block which contains various part numbers, with a description and some other bla bla, with a total number box, I issue this to clients to make the specification of product much easier. My idea was for people to use the quick select command to find how many instances there is of an object within the drawing.
As this is a slightly tedious process, as you have to physically type the part number then mentally take one instance off as it counts the number in the legend block as well.
Is there an addition/summary of object instances command I could use to make this process more dynamic and straightforward for the recipient/user of the block I issue?

I'm having trouble with the Revit ribbon not giving me the normal commands. For example, I'm trying to place a water closet family and the modify ribbon is giving me "Import Instance" instead of placement options (as in placing on a face) like it did just a couple days ago. I was placing these water closets in this same model just a few days ago and it was working fine. I've imported a few DWG files since then and now I'm getting this behavior. how do I undo it?

I have a situation where it would be expedient for me to be able to bind only one instance of an xref and leaving the others intact. I have to do this for several different x-refs. Is this possible in Autocad 2008? If I use the xref manager I can only see an option to bind the entire reference.

I'm not talking about simply making a layer folder with various elements grouped inside. What I'm trying to do is create different screen instances of a website using a feaure that turns on specific layers, allowing me to save that "layer visible" combination. I did this a few years ago and now cannot remember how it was done. To give an example:
I have a layer folder called "main navigation" in my Photoshop file. This main navigation folder has tons of sublayer elements that include the menu itself, hover states, drop down states, etc. I have another layer folder that contains elements for a specific web page.
What I used to do was this: I could turn on one of the specific web page folders, then turn on the active state element in my Main Navigation folder. So now the page looks as if it would for that specific screen instance. At this point, I was able to create a "Layer Group" that saved this specific set of layers that were turned on (visible), and name it.
Does this feature still exist in Photoshop? I can't seem to find it anywhere, or find any documentation on how to implement it.

Let's say I have a some footage in one project with all the effects, fade-ins/outs etc I want and I want to use the very same thing in another project. How can I get only this one part from project A to B.
Open a second VS don't work out of the box. It just goes to my already open window, if I try to open again. I don't want to convert is as a Video first - if I ever want to make changes this might make it more complicated - depending on the situation.

Some of you might also have encountered the nasty issue of CorelDraw (CorelDrw.exe) to open a new instance of CorelDraw for every CDR file being double-clicked for opening. After twiddling around and searching the web, I finally found out that CorelDraw.exe is case-sensitive for DDE commands. As such, using the DDE argument 'Open("%1")' won't do anything.The solution for CorelDraw X4 (CorelDrw.exe) is:
Application used:"C:ToolsOfficeCorelPROGRAMSCORELDRW.EXE" -DDE "%1"
DDE Message:[O("%1")]Application:CORELDRW_MOSDDE Application not Running:<empty>Topic:System
Corresponding registry file:-----------------------------------------Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpen][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpencommand]@=""C:\Tools\Office\Corel\PROGRAMS\CORELDRW.EXE" -DDE "%1""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexec]@="[O("%1")]"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexecApplication]@="CORELDRW_MOS"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexecTopic]@="System"

I've run into to some trouble when trying to create an instance of AutoCAD.
In fact, the behavior is strange, and it leads to believe it's not from creating an instance!
Anyways, I'm coming straight from VB6, so I used: Dim rpDoc As AcadApplication

Is there a way to display the HW Group within the door tag? I'm working on a new door tag for our office, and they have requested that HW Group #s be displayed, so the door installer knows which hardware group to install.
I find type parameters (width, Mark, Manufacturer, Etc) but no Instance parameters (HW Group, door materials, etc)
Would I need to make a shared parameter for this?
I can schedule HW Groups, so shouldn't I be able to tag them as well?

I've just moved back to windows and have an odd thing I don't remember happening before. Every time I open an additional file, a new photoshop icon shows up on the Taskbar (windows 7). The way I remember it working previously, there was only one icon on the task bar regardless of how many files are open.

I just re-installed windows and all the fine (PITA!) trimmings. Now, when I open a file (any type) for Inventor thru windows explorer it opens a NEW instance of Inventor everytime! This is a HUGE system hog, waste of time ect ect.
How can I correct this to just open in the instance that is already there?

I want to create some modules for a platform deck. The modules are made of C5x6.7 channels in one direction, L2x2x3/16 angle stiffeners in the other direction, and 3/16" deck plate on top.
My "drivable" parameters will be length and width.
The modules will all be different sizes, so I need to be able to have every instance of the assembly be different.
The workflow I was attempting to do before I got stuck was this:
1. Create a skeleton part (just a sketch) with Length and Width parameters.
2. Insert in an assembly and use frame generator to build the structural shapes (channels and angles)
3. Insert another part (the 3/16" plate) that can reference the length and width and adjust to be the correct module size.
Is there a way to make parts in an assembly all follow the same parameters? More importantly, can each instance of this assembly show up differently and be adjustable when I place these modules in my main assembly?
I don't know much about iParts - but it looks like an iPart lets you choose from predefined dimensions - I want something that I can custom input any size I need.

I have a problem creating an instance of the AcadApplicationClass. The program is very simple:
Assembly autodeskWrapper = Assembly.LoadFile(@"C:WindowsassemblyGAC_MSILAutodesk.AutoCAD.Interop17.0.54.0__eed84259d7cbf30bAutodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.dll"); Type acadAppClassType = autodeskWrapper.GetType("Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplicationClass"); object m_acadDApplicationClass; m_acadDApplicationClass = Activator.CreateInstance(acadAppClassType);
and the exception is:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {28B7AA99-C0F9-4C47-995E-8A8D729603A1} failed due to the following error: 80040154.
AutoCAD 2013 is installed but no license is provided (there is a 30 day trial period). I am trying to launch AutoCAD.
In C:WindowsAssembly folder I can see the Autodesk interops:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common. Their version is 17.0.54.0.
In Component ServicesComputersMy ComputerDCom Config I can see an enttry - AutoCAD Drawing. Its CLSID is: 6A221957-2D85-42A7-8E19-BE33950D1DEB.
I`ve read that the exception is because a 32bit process is trying to use 64bit DLL or vice versal. I have compiled my program in both 32bit and 64bit but with no results - I am getting the exception in both cases.

I've been tasked to turn our 2D cad dwgs to 3D in inventor.
I'm working on a frame at the moment, I got all the square and rectangular tube from the CC and constrained them to match the CAD dwg, now I need to add the mounting holes but if I add holes to one copy all the copies get the holes.
What option can I use to make each instance stand alone?

I have made a Family that is based off the Metric Structural Framing - Beams and Braces template. When I import my Family into a project and create a instance of the Family (which is a channel) the channel doesn't extend the whole distance of the geometric line. Its always 1500mm long (thats the default length in the .rfa file). See below image for my problem:
I made my extrusion inside the Left Elevation view and not inside a Floor Plan view; simply because it is easier to create the complex geometry of it. Maybe this has affected its inability to stretch to the length of the line? How can I edit my family so that the extrusion will stretch the whole length of the line/beam?

I would like to generate a rectangular pattern of extruded tubes which have an internal radius that is proportional to the distance to the centre point of the pattern. Or in other words tubes which are narrower in the centre, and wider at the exterior. Is there a way to do this without resorting to creating each tube individually?
More generally, is there a way to parameterise a feature dimension/parameter so that it is a function of spatial position?
