Illustrator :: How To Import SVG Files With Nested Clip Path Properties

Oct 21, 2012

I'm having serious issues in Illustrator CS5 trying to import SVG files with nested clip-path properties.

Illutrator seems to create unnecessary groups, and messes up with group parents, effectively screwing things up.
 
Here is a minimal example :
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [<!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">]>
<svg version="1.1" id="main" overflow="visible" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <g id="piece-1">
    <g clip-path="url(#cpform)" id="form1">
      <g clip-path="url(#cplogo)" id="logo1">
                    <rect fill="#FF0000" x="10" y="10" width="1000" height="1000" />

[Code]...
 
Such a valid SVG file displays fine in Chrome, IE, Opera, Firefox, but Illustrator fails loading it properly, because it creates two groups between "main" and "piece-1" (which is in itself not too bad), and sets piece-1 as a brother of another unnecesarry group from which piece-2 will descend. piece-2 and piece-1 are then clipped with piece-1 clip-path, which is just plain wrong and screws display.

Note that you can move piece-2 to the root of the document, which restores the display. But save this fixed file, and open it again : it"s back to its broken state.
 
Does anoyone know if this is fixed in CS6 ? If there is a workaround ?

Illustrator :: Linked Files Via Relative Path Not Found?

Apr 18, 2013

I have linked files in a realtive path /sheets/ in my adboe ai file. We are generating 10,000's of images and placing them in the /sheets/ folder. The naming scheme is the same.
 
However when I share this project with a friend over dropbox.  ai + /sheets/ folder. When he opens it up he's getting a ton of errors about the files not being found.
 
Does illustrator ignore linked file locations if the path isn't ABOSULUTE?  Or if the newly generated images are overwritting the previous ones?
 
How can I fix this because we are looking at 10,000's of large image reaplcments that will take DAYS of mannual labor?

Photoshop :: How To Save Nested PSD Files

May 22, 2013

Say I drag an Icon.psd that already exists into a larger Mockup.psd (it creates a layer that looks like a smart object but is not - by the way what are these called? "nested file layer"?).

Now I double click the new Icon-Layer and edit the Icon.psd. If I save it, it saves a new Icon.psd to a temporary folder (named "temporaryItems"). But: I want it to be saved to the same Icon.psd I dragged in before. Is that possible?

AutoCad 3D :: How To Make Video Clip On Set Path

Dec 12, 2013

I am wondering if it is possible with an 3D autocad design to make a 'free roam' kind of walk through the design.

I know how to make a video clip on a set path, but lets just say you create a road and a couple of houses next to it i kinda want to walk over the road/sidewalk like it were a game.

Is that possible within the autodesk software range? Or do i need to transfer a design to an game engine and go from there?

Illustrator :: How To Add Gradient Across Multiple Nested Circles

Mar 14, 2013

Here is the image I am working on:

I need to know how to make it look like this:
 
There are two things going on in the origina: the S-shaped semi-transparent overlay, and a linear gradient that lightens on the top and bottom and darkens in the middle. Also, note the transparent space between the "outline shape" and the inner circles.
 
So - two things. 1) How do I apply a gradient to the entire shape, and 2) put the all-white overlay on top (overlay should be confined to the shape as well).

After Effects :: Illustrator Files Won't Import As A Composition?

Apr 5, 2014

I'm trying to import some Adobe Illustrator files into After Effects so that I can animate them. As far as I understand, I need to import them as a composition so that the layers will remain separate from each other.
 
However whenever I try to do this, I go through the whole process- select the file, select composition, click OK,  it does nothing. The file does not appear anywhere in my project, it's as if I haven't done anything.

Illustrator :: Image Trace Results Different With Same Import Files

Sep 27, 2012

I'm working on pdf image files, 300 dpi, and I want to use the Image Trace tool to vectorized these ones. The result has to be under 4 colors, and the file is a mozaic of photos calibrated 3mm x 3mm.
 
The purpose is to vectorize the whole image ( composed with approximately 800 photos )I did different tests with the settings of the Image Trace tool with samples of 12 x 12 mm ( 4 photos x 4 photos ) and the result is correct. But when I try to do the same with the entire image, the result is just horrible The entire image is sized 200 mm height and 130 mm width, but the import format is exactly the same than the samlpes I made my presets on.

I was thinking that Illustrator should act the same with the full image than with the small one, it just took more time to calculate the rendering, but apparently not.

Update: Found the frames option but no frame durations available. But no single clip available in case of importing multiple sequences or frames that need to be in a single sequence.

After Effects :: Import A Clip When The Window Automatically Closes?

Oct 31, 2013

I was unable to even open After Effects CC when I upgraded to OS Mavericks. Once I realized adobe released a patch for it (the 12.0.1 "trial" update), the program opened. I thought all was fine, until I attempted to import a new video clip. It would not let me even move the clip, let alone edit it, before giving me a "grouping" error, and then abruptly crashing. Today Adobe released the 12.1 update, which seems to be running ok, except the window for importing footage automatically closes once opened. I can no longer just drag a new clip in to my composition either.

Illustrator :: Create Single Path To Type On Not Compound Path From Many Paths?

May 11, 2012

I have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
 
Basically I want to create the negative space from a bunch of small minus signs(-) that need to line up as they go across. If I type on each path one at a time as the text doesn't line up that way. This needs to be one continuous path. (see second image)
 
Unfortunately if I add them together, it creates a compound path, which you cannot type on, unless I am mistaken? So I need them to be a path, not a compound object.

Illustrator :: Convert Text Path Back Into Line Path In CS 5?

Jan 9, 2013

I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one.  I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status. I'm running OS X 10.7.5.

Illustrator :: Convert Text Path Back To Regular Path?

Mar 20, 2014

I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke.

Illustrator :: Ending A Path At The Angle Of Additional Path

Apr 10, 2013

I've got two paths.  They don't intersect, exactly, a straight path ends at a curved path, but I need the end of the straight path to be curved, to make it look like the two meet perfectly.  The two gray paths (a single path, then path->offset for the second) are the outside of a shield shape.  The two black lines (paths) just surround text, but currently they overlap the gray paths.
