Illustrator :: Create Non Compound Shapes In CS6

Feb 22, 2013

I need to convert an autotrace shape into a pattern i can use in cad. The problem is part of it is a compound path which will not work.
 
In cs3 i would have just used pathfinder used minus front expanded and had a final path, but now i just get another compound path. Saw the tip on pressing the alt key but still get a compound path.

Illustrator :: Create Transparent Stroke Above Other Shapes?

Aug 14, 2012

What I'm trying to do is give the blue box a transparent stroke that will "cut through" the red boxes and show the background underneath, whatever that may be ...white, another color, or a photo.
 
I can easily achieve this when I give it a white stroke. It'll look like this:
  
When I change to a background color other than white or even a photo however, I end up with this problem:
 
How do I make it so that I have a transparent border (not white) around the blue box? Which effectively cuts a "transparent stroke" (space) between the parts where the blue and red boxes intersect?

Illustrator :: How To Create Clipping Masks With Shapes And Text

Jun 11, 2013

I am new to Illustrator and am currently attempting to learn it. I am creating a logo that has text and has a shape that goes through the text to make the text appear as if it has claw marks in it.
 
I have two layers. The layer with the shape "claw" marks, and a layer with the text. The shape layer is currently above and the text layer is currently below. If I select both layers and click on Make Clipping Mask it has the text displayed within the little claw marks, how do I reverse that? Because when I try to change the order of the layers it doesn't clip anything?

Illustrator :: Possible To Create Vector Objects As Compound Shapes

Mar 19, 2014

I'd like to start utilizing Illustrator more frequently for web and user interface design projects, but I still like taking everything into Photoshop for final rendering and compositing (and the simple fact that most developers want psds, not ai files). However, I find that the only way to successfully transfer all of the vector artwork from Illustrator and preserve it as vector objects in Photoshop (when exporting) is to manually convert every individual vector object in Illustrator to a Compound Shape (by selecting the shape and clicking Make Compound Shape from the Pathfinder palette menu). This can be very tedious if it has to be done after the design is complete, and very inefficient if you convert every object as you draw it.
 
Is there a way to set Illustrator to automatically create every vector object drawn as a Compound Shape without having to manually convert it?
 
Adobe Illustrator allows you to export your Illustrator document as a Photoshop document. However, Compound Paths (not Compound Shapes - see this article for not-so-great explanations comparing the two) – which is the default attribute applied to all of Illustrator's basic vector objects – do not convert into vector objects when the exported document is opened in Photoshop. Rather, the vector objects drawn in Illustrator get flattened into raster layers in Photoshop, making them poor candidates for refining the design in Photoshop.

Illustrator :: How To Merge Lines And Shapes In Order To Create One Final Shape

Nov 9, 2013

I'm trying to create a star icon with lines through it. I used the star shape builder tool and then the line segment tool, but the lines are not being recognised as part of the star shape. For example, when I try to turn the star, the lines remain in the same place. This is pretty much exactly what I am trying to make, but I can't form the segments into one cohesive, editable shape.

Paint.NET :: Malleable Shapes Like The Line / Curve Tool?

Mar 6, 2011

One of the things I do a LOT is outline a circular object (in a photo) using the line/curve tool in a separate layer so that I can select the circular thing or everything else. Hope that made sense. Anyway, the thing is not exactly a circular and the line/curve tool works great but it would be nice to have a shape tool that would draw a circle that could be sized/positioned and slightly deformed using nibs (or nubs or whatever) similar to the line/curve tool.

Is there a way to do that with the built in shape tool? Or is there a plugin?

GIMP :: How To Create A Curve With Particular Long Brush

Mar 24, 2012

I just got a bunch of new brushes and one of them is a series of 4 stitches that are oriented horizontally and look just like this - - - - . How can i run this in curves so that it still looks like stitches? When I stroke a path it creates a black mess(while using brush). When I drag and draw freehand the results are not much better. Is there anyway to make it so this can follow some sort of curved path? As if you are rolling the brush along a line like a paint roller and keeping the integrity of the brush? I'm using Gimp 2.6.10.

AutoCad :: How To Create Curve Using Spline On Screen

Mar 27, 2012

When I create a curve using spline on the screen I have noticed that often the curve between the points of the spline will become as straight lines. When I click on a point the curve appears again as normal and as I wanted. Any way to stop it from happening? Is this simply a characteristic of AutoCAD or something I am doing wrong? Does the curve appear as desired when plotted? The curves I am referring to are sections of a ships hull.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Subassembly With Curve In It

Mar 7, 2013

I am trying to create a subassembly with a curve in it. See attached .pkt and .dwg files. Very small and simple.

When I attach the Subassembly to the Assembly, the event viewer shows "[Something wrong with current subassembly: The given key was not present in the dictionary.]  (Source:Subassembly.Subassembly1)"

The link that represents the curve does not display; only the tesselated points display. In the Subassembly Composer the curve does display.

The file called curved.zip needs to be renamed to curved.pkt. This forum does not allow attachment of files with pkt extension.

Photoshop Elements :: Vector Tool To Create Unique Shapes?

Dec 13, 2013

I've used Photoshop 5 for 14+ years now and was forced to switch to Photoshop Elements 11 when we installed new computers at work recently. It seems to be missing an important tool (for me) that I can't seem to find. I don't know the official name but I called it a "vector" tool. You could draw custom curved and straight lines between set points to create a unique shape. Does it exist or is there a newer way to do the same task?

Maya Animation :: Create Curve Based On Path Of Object?

Mar 10, 2011

I am doing some animations involving sine waves, and I can make an expression that controls the translation of an object such that it travels along the path of a sine wave, but I can't figure out how to dynamically create an editable sine wave curve.

Is there a way to have Maya generate a curve based upon the path that an object travels upon?

For instance I have a sphere that is moving along the X axis with time, and also moving up and down on the Z axis back and forth. I would like to make an editable curve object of this path of motion.

I can see in Maya 2012 we will have motion trails where we can see the actual path an object is moving along, and that we will be able to interact with this path to alter the animation, but what if we could take that path and make it an actual curve or NURBS object?
