AutoCad 3D :: Make Outlined Text From Illustrator Extrude Properly

Jul 16, 2012

I am currently trying to make a bracelet with text engraved in the outside of it with autocad, and my current problem is that I have to make the text 3D before I can subtract it from the bracelet. I am using autocad for mac, which means I dont have the express tools, most notably textexp. I am fairly sure that, without other programs, making 3d text with autocad for mac is impossible. I have tried making text in adobe illustrator, outlining it, and exporting it to autocad, but when I explode it (with the default explode command) and extrude the text, it looks like this:

As you can see, very few of the letters get properly extruded, and some arent even effected at all. I've tested other fonts, and they all have the same problem, albeit with some differences in exactly which letters are changed. Except papyrus, in which none of the text gets extrudedhow to make outlined text from illustrator extrude properly, be my guest! The same goes if you have a different way to make 3D text.

Illustrator :: How To Make Overlapping Arrows In A Circle

May 6, 2013

I'm trying to make overlapping arrows in a circle like the ones here. I pretty much have it, but I'm having trouble with how to get the layers right.
 
Here's what I have so far:
  
Note that my spacing is a little off, number 1. I tried to rotate each arrow 60 degrees, but it's not perfect.
 
Secondly, the bottom arrow is above everything, instead of above at the point and below at that base. How does one achieve that feat?

Illustrator :: How To Make Circle And Line Ending (at Center) Lock And Move Together

Aug 13, 2013

I'm new to Illustrator and perhaps it's not the best software of CS6 Master for doing this, but:
 
I have a few (13) circles, they are connected with lines (one line from the centre of a circle to the centre of the next one, so 13 connecting lines). I need to move the circles around in order to create the appearance that suits me best, but I want the connecting ending to move together (see picture below). I need to do this often and get an immediate visual feedback. How do I do it? Am I using the wrong software altogether?

Illustrator :: Add Shapes Inside Outlined Shape?

Feb 21, 2013

I have created the outline of a snake using the pen tool.  The shape is closed.  I want to add scales that do not overlap and are snug against the outline wall.  Im sure I am missing something incredibly simple.  I tried to create anchor points along the outline and use the pen tool to connection the anchor points but doing so would delete the anchor points.  Each scale will be different colors and shape and they need to all be snug together.

Illustrator :: Outlined Text Distorts Upon Export To EMF?

Mar 22, 2013

I'm working on headers and footers for a client to use in MS Word. The headers and footers are mostly text-based, and look bad in any rasterized image format, so I think the best option is to export to EMF.
 
Even though I have all of the fonts I'm using installed on Word, it's still treating some of them strangely. So I'm trying to convert the text to vector images with the Create Outlines command. But when I export the image to EMF, I end up with distorted text. It distorts the logo image portion too, but it's less noticeable than the text.
 
I'm using CS5 on an iMac running OS 10.6.8.

Illustrator :: Opening PDF - Some Font Characters Outlined And Some Not

Dec 21, 2013

Let's say I create a poster with a couple of blocks of text in Illustrator, using a single font. Then, I generate a PDF of the poster.

Now, on the same computer, I open the PDF in Illustrator, and Illustrator pops-up an alert saying some text has been outlined to preserve appearance. And, indeed, here and there throughout the text, some words, combination of words, or whole lines of text have been outlined, but most of the text is still live.
 
Why does this happen? There's no difference, font-wise, between the text that is untouched, and the text that got outlined. Same face, same weight. In fact, the same word, set the same way, will be untouched in one line, and be outlined elsewhere in the text. It's really baffling.

Illustrator :: Subtract Some Outlined Text From Larger Shape

Aug 30, 2013

Sometimes I have to subtract some outlined text from a larger shape. Usually I just select the shape, and the text group, and execute a compound path. Works fine.
 
Occasionally, this method is not so convenient If I need to knock out additional outlined text into an object that has already been compounded with some other elements. For this, I use the Shape Tool, minus-ing out the additional text,
 
What I've noticed is that as I do this, the process gets slower and slower as each path is minus'd out with the Shape Tool. Eventually it can take as long a minute or more to remove more areas. Then I discovered something. I uncompounded the final result to discover that the Shape Tool creates hundreds and hundreds of duplicate paths. And very specific duplicates at that. Here is what I discovered:

I can only draw the conclusion that there is something seriously wrong with this tool. Surely all those extra path copies hidden within the resulting compound path can't be right.

Illustrator :: Outlined Text Is Changing When Using Pathfinder Or Resizing

Sep 30, 2013

So occasionally, when working on customers files, outlined text becomes warped when resizing or using Pathfinder. For instance, I have "III" written and outlined, but for some reason if I resize this, the middle line become thicker than the other lines. Other text changes as well making it very hard to make the necessary changes to my artwork without ruining the text.

Photoshop :: Make A Circle Of CD Size

Jul 18, 2012

I am trying to make a perfect circle that is the size of a CD.
 
I have made guides that are 5" x 5" wide (a little wider than an actual CD) and 5"x5" tall. When I try to create a circle shape or marquis inside of my lines, I can't. I have to make an oval in order to meet my guides.
 
I thought it was an issue with my units in my rulers. No dice. I tried creating a marquis fixed at 5"x5". No dice. Still an oval. Shouldn't 5"x5" be a perfect circle? A circle with a circumference of 5" would be the same all the way around, right? Or do I need to go back to geometry class?

Photoshop :: Make A Square A Circle?

Sep 8, 2005

I have a square that I want to make into a circle, without distorting it. I want to create a circle using it as a stroke... I"m using CS2, can anyone help

I used the transform and the warp tool and got it into a circle, but there were points where it was pinched and it looked stupid.

I thought maybe there was a way to make a circle and use that "pattern" as a stroke for it, but so far I can't figure it out.

i tried making it a brush and needless to say...

We use that square to put around all of our letterhead and official station documents. I've created a CD-Rom media kit of our stuff and want to put it around the edge of the cd label, but unfortunately for me, cd's are round which is not condusive to the template I have....
