I am inserting text onto a box layer. The box is rotated. When I rotate the text to fit into the box, the letters go slightly out of line and rotate seperately. I tried to save the text as a jpeg file and then rotate the object, but the same thing happened. The letters are no longer lined up.
InDesign has a great feature where the filename can be inserted as variable text which will automatically update whenever the filename is changed. Is there a plug-in for Illustrator which can do the same thing?
I wanted to add a wheel shape on the image.. What i am doing is.
1. I open old paper background image in adobe photoshop cs6.
2. I click on new layer
3. Then I select the custom shap tool and then select the required shape.
Challenge that I am facing : When I draw a shape in new layer , it also created in background image means it creates two shapes one in new layer and 2nd in the back ground...
I have made an add-in that automates the insertion of points on a surface and I am trying to find out how to put these points on a specific layer. I guess that changing the "standard" default Point style would do the trick, but I can't find the objects to use in the Civil3D API.
I created a layer of text in Photoshop (CC) that has a transparent background. I want to place this text in an Illustrator document overtop of the artwork already there.
I dragged the layer from PS into AI. It transfered fine but in AI is has a white background.
I am sure there must be a way around this - I just don't know AI well enough.
I am editing a Postgis table using the OSGeo FDO Provider for PostgreSQL/PostGIS in AutoCAD Map 3D 2012. As i have noticed that the serial type of the ID field does not give an automatic value to de ID field after inserting a new feature in the layer and after checking in (AutoCAD Map seems not to understand de nextval(sequence_name) function in the DEFAULT property of the ID field(thats how the autonumeric numbers work in PostgreSQL)), i am using a database side trigger which gives the next sequence value to the ID field of the new record. The trigger is launched BEFORE inserting a new record.
The problem is that after executing the trigger, in AutoCAD Map all the fields are still shown as null, and they are not displayed until i manually refresh the layer.
Is there any way to auto-refresh the layer after checking in a new feature?
I'm trying to set up a template in illustrator that can be used by co-workers. Rather than having a separate document containing tips on how best to use the template (which of course, no-one will read) I thought it might be better to include info in the template itself. It would be a chore if this advisory info had to be deleted each time however. Any good method for being able to leave text or layers that I might be able to lock and thus couldn't be ignored by people using the doc, but importantly, would not be shown in the final result when placed in InDesign? The ideal result would not include having to specify lots of import options in InDesign for each file as there could be hundreds of these things to place!
I am trying to loop/iterate through all layers, determine if it's a "text-layer", if it is, set it's opacity to 0.This is what I have so far:
var iapp = new Illustrator.Application(); var openoptions = new Illustrator.OpenOptions(); var idoc = iapp.Open("c:\myFile.pdf", Illustrator.AiDocumentColorSpace.aiDocumentRGBColor, openoptions); Illustrator.Layer mainlayer = idoc.Layers["Layer 1"]; [code]....
When running my script to unlock all layers, so I can select all textFrames and copy them to a new layer, I run into a problem with text that has been locked individually. The script unlocks layers that are lock but it does not unlock items that have been locked individually on those layers. Is there a way to unlock these items?
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers; for ( j = layerCount.length - 1; j >= 0; j-- ) { lockedLayers = activeDocument.layers[j];
Can I insert text in photoshop and photoshop image ready? When I say text I mean the content of a site. Example Inserting the whole content of 'about us' in PSD?
How do I make sure the text is not image but html. Also Is it possible to make text not sizeable in the browser something like using css.
I am using a script to export multiple layers of 16x16 pixel icon files into separate PNG files. It works very well with one big exception. All layers that contain text becomes very blurry.I have tried converting the text into outline paths before exporting, but it does not work. The text becomes blurry and thick.
When performing a regular Non Script export to a PNG file you are allowed to chose antialiasing method between "type" and "art". When using the "type" alternative everything looks good, but when the "art" alternative is selected the text look very blurry and bad.When using script multiexporters it seems they all use the art version. URL....
But I have tried a bunch of other scripts as well but with the same blurry result for the text. How to get the option to chose the type optimized initializing for the script exports?
How to go about making it only change the color of text frames on the active layer? In the final script I will hide all other layers so if it could be done by a visible attribute more easily that would work just as well.
I'm not quite sure where to post this question. What I would like to know how to do is to insert symbols or "Special characters" (such as letters of the alphabet with attention marks) i.e., as in the ' above the e in the word entre (copied and pasted this...) is there an easy way to do this in text boxes or should I continue to do it as I'm currently doing - opening a copy of OpenOffice Write or MS Word and selecting the symbol/character I want and copying and pasting it into the text box in Xara. Seems as though we should be able to insert special characters...
Don't know much about photo shopping or manipulating images, but hope to learn more, since I already have one Etsy shop (selling beauty products) and am planning on opening another (selling miniatures).
For my first Etsy shop I used a Free Etsy Banner provided by a blogger I follow. I did not include text or my shop name in my Banner.
I have downloaded another banner from this same blogger, this one has the option to include text (your shop name) and I would like to include my shop name for the miniatures Etsy shop I plan to open within about six month.
I asked her how to enter text and she said to just open it in Picture, or whichever photo shop type program I use. I have a Mac, am fairly broke, Gimp was recommended to me by another small business owner.
I managed to figure out how to enter text, use the text editor, and place it in the blank field. The only problem is I can't see the text, despite playing around with the colour of the text.
I have been able to do a text wrap which works great. However, I need to be able to move the boxes along with the paragraph if, say, I change the beginning and causing the entire thing to shift.
So far when I enter anything and the boxes are just inserted with text wrap the words move together but leave the boxes where they are. I can move the boxes along after words by just pushing the down arrow but that means I have to go through and move each one which is time consuming and frustrating.
Is there anyway to perhaps insert the box directly into the paragraph so that it is all one thing?
I'm using AutoCAD LT 2012 and our client doesn't want/like sheet sets.
One item I'd love to have is the pg. number automated. In the current title block it's just text not an attribute. Is there a way I can take only a part of the file name and insert it as a field?
For example, the file name is DW_12321_12.dwg the last part of the name is the sheet number. Can I exclude everything but the 12 and insert just that into the field?
I am inserting a block into my drawing that has attributable text, and when I insert and pick the insertion point, the block prompts me immediately to fill in attributable text fields. My problem is that it runs through the sequence twice. How can I edit the block so it only does it once?
starting a new job at work so setting up the job folder etc. grabbed the title block and the text attribute insert from the library.....
so here is when the issue started.....so title block and text attribute are both saved in model space, both have all the same settings, this also applies to the template we have here all match.
so i xref in my title page at 1:1 which comes in normal, then i insert my attribute block in at 1:1 but it comes in at some super size thing, normal 3.5 text size is now 1000......
have fiddled with everything gone back to the library set etc but got no idea.
the interesting bit is if i open the title block and insert the attribute block in, it comes in perfect......
so in saying that i am assuming it is the work template..... but none of this has changed for over a month and have created drawings since then........maybe a random setting somewhere has changed but again haven't done anything different to normal no new radical changes....
i have attached a copy of the title block and the text attribute.
as described in the title, after choosing 'Text' tool and clicking aposition I like on the new empty image, the entire application shuts downright away.This happens every time.
It seems that this should be possible, but I'm not seeing any way to do this. When I go into CS6 from LR4, I'd like to be able to rename the file I'm working on (say 20120422-145) to 20120422-Edit-145 but at best I can rename it 20120412-145-Edit-145
Adding the edit tag prior to the sequence id keep things better organized in the browser and enabled rename on export to properly extract the sequence ID.
I am using AutoCAD 2011. my scale being off for text, dimensions, inserting scalable blocks, xrefs, etc...
The problem is that when inserting, or creating text (or any of the above) in architectural scales everything is fine, however, when the scale is changed to an engineering scale, everything comes in at 1/12 the scale it is supposed to be - i.e. - when I create text it has to be scaled up by 12, it's like AutoCAD is just reading the 200 scale and not multiplying by the scaler of 2400.
I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.
