Illustrator :: How To Slant The Ends Of The Lines All At Once
May 28, 2012
I'm using Illustrator CS5 - I've been trying to figure out a way to slant the ends of the lines all at once, or to create them to begin with. I've searched for a method to do this until my eyes gave out (including youtube how to's). What I've been doing is creating the lines, drawing guides, expanding the lines, then dragging each endcap anchor point to intersect with the guide and this is taking a bit longer than I would like. Is there a quicker way to get the lines in the top image to look like those in the bottom image? specifically the slant on the endcaps?

I'm trying to match the style of an illustration done by someone outside my company; all the lines taper at both the ends like an actual brush stroke, but when I used the brush tools I have to change the angle to get the tapered look - is there a trick to this? It's not efficient to have to stop and change the angle of the tool for every stroke -

I use splines a lot to provide a contiuous smooth curve between two lines which are co-planar. The splines are drawn by connecting the ends of the two lines and then the tangent direction set by hovering over the end grips. I then use the FLATEN command to convert these splines to polylines that can have their lineweights set to a value other than 0. My problem is that sometimes when i use the FLATTEN command, the spline is erased.

I'm working on a project that details with topo lines. I have the contours, however because I imported them as DWG's from sketchup they're a bit messy. Basically, instead of being one continuous line, their endpoints intersect and overlap, making it look very messy. Is there anyway I could delete these extra lines? I tried the overkill command to no avail.

Does the crop tool cut at a slant or angle? For example, I am cropping a picture in a frame that is not totally of a rectangular shape, meaning its corners are not at 90 degree angles. The corner angles are slanted and can be compared to sides of a octagon. Should I use a different tool for this specific picture edit?

I am looking to make a brush that I can use for cartooning in CS6 that starts out thin, gets thicker with pressure (I have a cintiq), and ends in a thin line.

Reducing the Roundness of a calligraphic brush to 0% seems to create 'flat' ends to a stroke, but, on closer inspection, the ends are not perfectly flat/straight.
The line seems to start and end with a slight 'S' curve; it's less visible when the stroke has a different bearing, but I need it to be gone - is this possible? I'm trying to create a calligraphic brush with perfectly flat ends.

I need to transform a lot of dashed (single) lines into separate lines... Who can tell me how to do this in a few clicks. I don't need an outline of the dashed line. So the black dashes I need, the white in between the dashes I want to loose.
Â
See the example. I need the second lines.

Ok, its really hard to describe this in words, so here is a picture!
So this is just a normal path that I hit the stroke button on. The problem is, it goes from lighter to darker at either end of the path. This may look good now, but I don't want it! I want it to be the same opacity/transparency all the way through the path stroke.
Â
I'm sure I just have some weird box checked.Â

I've been trying to make lines like these to no luck:
I'm aware this can be achieved with the pen tool. Path stroked with a brush with some settings altered. Most likely Fade.
This is where I am so far:
Problems:
I cant get BOTH ends to fade.
A long path wont get fully stroked since the fade happens too soon.

I find out I didn't leave enough room for a drop-shadow effect to end smoothly, rather than being cut off where I cropped the image. Is there an easy way to know exactly where the drop shadow ends, exactly where it's safe to crop the image?
see the bottom edge of the attached example image.

I want to know how to fade something out. Like how the gradient tool works, but instead of a color, I just want it to be from background to transparent.
Lets say I have a line as my image, and that's all that's there. The background is transparent (no white background, in the program it's displayed as a white/gray grid of small blocks)
___________________
Theres my line. It's nice but I want the ends to smoothly fade out into the transparency. Like this
....,,,,________________,,,,....
I know that's a bad example, but where the line is full and thick is where it is just that. Full, thick, it's the line! But then the comma's, say thats where it starts to fade, by the end of the comma's, the line is 50% transparent. By time it hits the periods its faded by a lot, and goes from 50% transparent, to completely transparent.
I hope you understand what I'm talking about. And for actual use, I wont be fading a straight line. More a a curved design that I've cropped and want to have fade out on the ends.

Everytime I Resample pictures that are big in size, and resolution, and I reduce the resolution and the size, the end result is always blurry. (doesn't matter if I use Draw or Paint)
- image is 39.4"w by 29.556"h @ 72 DPI, RGB, JPG (when opened in Paint or imported into Draw)
- I want it to be .976"w by .736"h @ 300 DPI ... yes alot smaller
Ultimately, once at the small size, I need to take all artwork (bitmaps, text etc) and make one 300 DPI bitmap to be run on the press.
I have tried ...
- Resampling the original sized image, that is 72 DPI, into 300 DPI and then Resampling the size from there and end up with Blurry (left on Anti-Alias and Maintain aspect ratio)
- Resampling size and DPI, in one step, and end up with Blurry (left on Anti-Alias and Maintain aspect ratio)
- made the image proportionately smaller (now DPI is 2,089) and then Convert into 300 DPI image, and end up with Blurry

I am using the design accelerator to create a shaft with multiple features. Works well. This shaft is 90"+ in length and although I realize we create in full scale, having it display into my drawing in full scale is unnecessary because one diameter is nearly 60" long. As such I would like to shorten it by using a shaft end, but cannot figure how to do it.
Just to be clear, by shaft end (term used in Mechanical) I refer to the squiggly lines that basically fudge the OAL of a component.

Windows 7 and PS CS6. I am trying to use the motion effect "PAN" in PS CS6 but the image is large. 7364 x 1080. It pans but clips the ends. The image in the timeline has a slider at the bottom, I take that to mean the image is to wide for the video frame. How can I use the pan effect in PS cs6 to pan a large panorama ?? I tried splitting the image but the seperate images are not a smooth single image.

initial image was 1.93 gigs as a 16 bit tiff, converted to jpeg 7364 x 1080.Â

how to create a brush stroke with a point on both ends? It's fairy easy to create a stroke with a point on the front end using the Shape Dynamics, but how do I create a point on the tail end as well? I have a Wacom pen and even the sensitivity function on it can't get a point on both ends no matter how sensitive I draw a quick stroke.
Â
The stroke on the right is the typical brush stroke I get when playing with the "shape dynamics" to get a point on my stroke. The stroke on the left is one I rendered to display how I'd like my strokes to look.

Is there a way to keep a video display its last frame after it ends play?
In this scenario lets say I have to overlays each with a video on them.Video A takes half the display and Video B takes the other half - so that they are side to side.
They are staggered in playback where the first ( Video A ) plays first and ends first and the second ( Video B) begins mid-way through when Video A plays.
I would like Video A to not go away after play but rather remain "still" on the last frame while Video B continues playing.

Is it possible to draw a line with fixed ends. I want to draw a line, representing a pipe, which connects two tanks. Whenever I move one of the tanks I'd like the line automatically to adjust its coresponding end in such a way that the line aways will start from the one tank and end on the other. Is it possible that?
Another question, is there some option, such that whenever two line cross each other, one of the line automatically to go over the other. By this I want to show on the drawing that the two lines are not connected. Something like the following "sketch" Â Â

I'm working in Civil 3D 2012 and I have an alignment going through 3 DI's and a MH. When I say to draw this in profile view the pipes end inside the DI sometimes. Not at the middle but inside it even though my DI has a near 0 wall and floor thickness. The place where the pipe ends is where the edge of the DI should be but it is being shown outside that for some reason. What can I do? I inserted an image. The piece that I drew that is supposed to be a DI in profile view is rotated wrong.
