I was playing around with Illy tonight as I haven't been using it nealry as much as of late or even since all the recent updates.
Any way, it seems to me that I somehow managed to Duplicate a Document...
If you use Photoshop you'll know just what I mean... I'm talking about making an Exact Duplication of all the layers... of everything. You know simply: Image > Duplicate
I was playing around with different things and next thing I knew I had Two Document Windows open even though I'm about 99.9% certain that I didn't open a 2nd Doc and that I didn't make the exact same shape twice with same colors etc.
Of course... I could quite possibly have drifted off into some dual universe... (yes, that's the best i can come up with at 3am).
Is there now a (hidden) way to make a Duplicate in Illy just like in Ps?
I am wondering if there is a way to use the "select same fill color" and/or "stroke color" for just a group of objects in a document as opposed to document-wide.
View 6 Replies View Relatedin an open PDF File i press 'Ctrl+A' to select all Items in the document, then i choose Edit/Transform/rotate ... 90 degree.now i'd like to do the same with an vbscript.
the best thing i could find is:
rotate(90)
Sub rotate (degree)
Dim appRef, argument, element
Dim changePositions, changeFillPatterns, changeFillGradients, changeStrokePattern, rotateAbout
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
[code]....
not all, but all elements i am interested in are rotated - it would be better if really all elements would be rotated the elements are rotated around 'aiTransformDocumentOrigin' ... i would prefer if they are rotated around 'middle of document'.

Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?
And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?
I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.
So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.
I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)
However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??
So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.
I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.
I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it because I am not getting behind the Mask?
I was trying to rotate the entire model to align with the grid of another building. I need to do that in order to export to Navisworks easily without any adjustment.
After I select the entire model in 3d view, and going back to the plan view, the rotate tool is ghosted. What's the reason of it? See attached file.
After I have rotated an entire floor plan drawing 180 degrees, the texts and room names have also been rotated upside down.What is the solution to the problem so that the texts/room names will not be upside down after I rotated the drawing 180 degrees?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDrawing started in LDD a few years ago. It was on a local coordinate system of 1000,1000.
The drawing has since been migrated to C3D2012. Now we have data in UTM coordinates that we need to match to the old data. Actually, we want to shift/rotate the entire original set of data to match the new UTM data, so we can continue in UTM for all future data collection.
So, I went through and turned all layers on, Thawed them and unlocked them. I made sure all points were visable, etc. Then I tried to move the original data (I also tried the align command, etc., with the same results) and found a glitch. After I moved the data, I found that there was some points and survey figures as well as a cooridore, that had not moved. The vast majority of the drawing had moved as expected, but the afore mentioned data would not move.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have modeled a building that's a typical shoe box (rectangular shape building).
When I searched the address in Google earth, the true north of the site is not perpendicular to the building: it's angled.
When I chose "Acquire from Google earth" at the Site level, it gave me exactly what I saw in Google earth.
My question is:
I have finished the model of the building in Revit which doesn't align with what I acquired from Google earth. How do you align the model to the Google earth image? Do you have to literally rotate the entire building to align the Google earth image?
Also is there a difference between Google earth and Google earth pro for this task?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rotate a body in a part document using a .net add-in through the API. I saw this mod the machine post [URL] which appears to be exactly what I am looking for. As I try to incorporate this into my add-in it doesn't recognize the MoveDefinition or PartDefinition.Features.MoveFeatures, as if these were not included in the SDK. The VBA code that is listed will run, but I cannot convert it to C#.net code. Is there something I am missing, perhaps an extra reference?

I'm creating my resume in illustrator, very very basic stuff. Not special settings or anything, just a few guides and lines of text. I've tried creating a new document and retyping everything to no avail.
Basically when I'm done formatting and creating the resume how I like it, I Save As to PDF and open it up in Preview, Reader and the built in pdf viewer in my browsers and noticed that the entire document is now a clickable link...center of the page, near the top of the page etc. Its picking up one of my reference contact's email addresses from the bottom of the page.
So i tried changing from paragraph left to paragraph center and it seems to stop the issue. but if i revert back to my preferred formatting its there again.
When I remove their email, no longer a problem. and i can revert to my prefered formatting and with his emial remove the reference below his, their email is intact and not casuing the problem.
My previous resume formatting was all in paragraph center formatting so it was never a problem..
This seems like a very simple task, but I cannot find any way to delete an entire graph.

If I group the objects to align them to the artboard, then they move to one layer, and do not move back to their original layers when ungrouped. I don't want that.

Let's say I have some text (black) with a black stroke on it. (It creates the look I want, without using BOLD.)
How can I convert this text to include the stroke as one entire object? No stroke, just one entire vector shape?
(I notice if you import text this way into Flash, convert to a symbol and fade up from zero opacity, you see the fill as a different value than the stroke value - very annoying.)
Is there a Pathfinder command that I can use to fix this text?

I'm having an odd issue in Adobe Illustrator. When I create a shape and go to rotate it by selecting the object and hovering near a corner, I'm expecting my selection tool to change to the arc with arrows indicating that I can rotate the object. This isn't happening, the arc is not appearing and my selection tool is turning into an anchor point selection tool.

Everything I try when rotating rotates the entire area + the text in side, which makes the positioning of the shape my text is in wrong.I am after being able to change the inside text angle and content whenever needed.
