View 1 RepliesI have two shapes overlapped (a circle and a star be to be exact). A triangular are of the star is overlapping the circle.
How can I merge the two shapes in order to delete specific paths? Thus creating a pie-like shape (circle, with the triangular section cut out of it).
I am a newbie in illustrator. I want to use pathfinder to unite two paths. One path has the effect of bulge. When I unite these, both of the paths get the effect bulge. Why is this happening and how can i avoid this?

In Illustrator CC my merge command doesn't seem to be working correctly. Instead of merging two closed paths into one it seems to be trimming them, or slicing them. I stupidly thought it was an update to the feature and have been trying to get my head around using it but I've just shown my colleagues and they assure me it's not right.

I want to open a doc, run a script that selects all paths of a color, say 255,0,0 or 50,0,20,4 and changes that color to black or another color I specify and also changes the stroke. Is this possible? I can't see how i would do it?
I've created a hand drawn vector in Adobe Ideas and imported it into Illustrator CC. I've used a basic example below to test this method, but I want to be creating more complex hand drawn vectors in the near future. You can see the same line in the 3 images below. The third image shows a close up of the line where it's surrounded by 2 paths. Any way that I can merge the 2 paths in the third image into 1 path?

I am digital printer and I am running into an issue printing an .EPS. I can open the file in AI ( I've used AI5 and 6) and all the layers are the layers are there and good. The only this for some reason the file has been cut into a pile of clipping masks and groups. I think all those layers and sections are causeing wierd transperancy issues. Any way of possible flattening the whole thing? I am attaching screen shots of what the file looks like .This is what it looks like with all the objects selected in AI5 this what the layer pallete looks like this is what it looks like as a pdf. Notice the outlined boxes. They shouldn't be there. When printed the bottom right square, the one with the play symbol in it, comes out discolored. Also there is a discoloration behind the stacked white items.how to unite all those sections?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to unite 2 shapes with stroke. After that, the new shape will receive "Expand..." or "Outline Stroke" and at the end, when I want to scale the shape it becomes like in the image. I made "Preferences">"General...">"Scale Strokes & Effects" and "Scale Tool">"Options">"Scale Strokes & Effects".
It doesn't matter what shape I want to create, the result is the same. How can I solve this?
I have this compound path (green in the print screens below) which I would like to apply a bevel effect on.
It seems as if the compound path is fine but when I apply the bevel effect, the result is as image 2. How can I solve this so that all of the beveled effect is smoothly and unite instead of rectangles popping out etc... ?
can I merge 2 paths together?

I have created different areas of outlines of a picture and placed them in separate paths. I would like to know how to either merge the paths (so that the 'banner' path is on top of the others), or how to move them into the 'Layers' tab.
I would like to view all these paths/outlines at once, as of now it doesn't let me while in the Paths tab - It only lets me view one path at a time.

80% of the time I want to save my workfiles to a specific folder (i am quite organized when it comes to Creative Suite files) and I wondered:
Is there anyway to tell PS to go to that specified folder when I want to save, and not try to save into the folder where I found the last source picture?
I want to join two paths to create a shape that I can fill but at the same time retain one of the original paths (the red one in the image below). I can copy the path I want to retain but surely there is a more elegant solution. See below for for an illustration:

This is mostly for overlaying text onto a gif and it gets tedious duplicating, moving and merging all the layers one by one.

I'm having difficulty with the BOM. I have a number of identical parts with different file names from the frame generator and other tools such as mirror. They all show up as individual parts in the BOM.
I have "Enable Row Merge on Part Number Match" cheched and even though their part numbers do match, the rows are not merged.
On on 2011. New Inventor User, recently moved from 2011 to 2014 - Win. 7.
I'm creating a drawing for an iassembly, and I can't get the parts list to automatically show a specific configuration's BOM. I've tried filtering, "Ballooned Items Only," and that doesn't change anything. I've tried to create a parts list that looks at the child assembly, and the parts list reverts to the parent iassembly.
In the Browser, there's a lightening bolt next to each parts list in the tree. There are three parts lists/configurations.
The parts list lists parts that aren't in the assembly shown, and/or shows wrong quantities. I can manually update the bom, but I would much rather not. Is there a macro or add in that may be useful? I'll be making many prints from iassemblies, and this would be very useful.
Just as it sounds, my client wants to be able to set the layers up in a drawing file so that all CC parts come in on a specific layer on the drawing.
I'm looking at the layers and the Object Defaults menus in Style Editor but not finding a way to accomplish this.
Is there a way of using Ilogic to make hidden lines of specific parts in an assembly drawing view visible? If a part with hidden lines showing is suppressed and then unsuppressed the hidden line option becomes unchecked, therefore I need a way of rechecking this option through code?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.

I have three gifs that I use as the logo for my store. I'm migrating the store from an old fashioned html site to Zencart. Problem is that Zencart will only allow one image for the logo.
Using paint.net, how do I unite these three into one image? Also, the outer two images are animated and of course I want to keep them that way.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI trace a lot of line drawings in my work to add regions of color or to create a layered watercolor effect.
In previous versions on Illustrator (I currently use CS6 but I think CS5 worked the way I liked) I could set the opacity to whatever I wanted and new pencil or pen objects would be trasparent as I drew them. Now my paths are opaque no matter what my setting in the transparency menu and it's impossible to see what I'm tracing.
I used to be very productive drawing blobs of color and overlaying quickly for a nice watercolor effect, but now I have to draw a blob, select it and set it's opacity, then draw my next blob and do the same thing. Very time consuming and not good for quick evaluation of whether or not my image is looking good.
I used Illustrator CS5 to just siply choose a font and wrote the words Media King. Then i saved as AI v8 file so that c4d would take the file. The word do have a rounded square as a BG (background).
When it gets in c4d the rounded circle is there but not the font. Does illutrator give paths to text generated in ai?
For some reason all my paths, including old files have become jagged. New paths are coming up jagged as wells as print out and PDF files. Using CS5.
I am not an expert but have been using AI for years to make patterns with the pen tool. The smaller I make the illustration the worst it gets.It is not the pixel preview, tried that already.
