My shortcut for scaling has turned off and I can no longer scale by clicking on the bounding box and dragging the arrow. Instead I have to go to the transform option inorder to scale . How do I get the shortcut where I can just click on the object back? I am on CS5

View 2 Replies View RelatedI drew some strokes and then I was busy on another part of my image then when I looked back at the other part half of my strokes were not visible. Im not sure why. They are still there because I can select them and I can see them in outline mode but they are invisible in preview for some unknown reason. The stroke hasnt changed and the layers are all visible. I restarted and they came back.

And the work document is now in wire frame. I hope its not erased.

Scanned in my tight pencil logo design and saved as a jpeg since there was no other option
Opened in Illustrator and used image trace... default everything except the threshold is set to about 102 or so to get the brushy look... also it's black and white
Extracted the image which gave me the vector that i needed
Selected the whole image to change the color to red and it turned gray.... that's not what I wanted...
I need to be able to change the color of this vector by 9/18/13...
Illustrator CS5. I made a 32x32 pixel box, put a 32x32 artboard around it, export it at 72 ppi png, with or without antialiasing which doesn't seem to matter whether it's on or off, yet it always exports out as a 33x33 png instead of a 32x32, adding 1 pixel to each side, tested with a higher resolution, doesn't matter saves with 1 extra pixel on each side example 500x500 will become 501x501, when I look at the picture even if it's a solid color square it will make the edges transparent and ruin the picture on the edges making it hard to fix in another program after exported from illustrator. I tried something out when I searched the internet for solutions, I checked in save for web under Image Size it will say my 32x32 square is 33x33 in that screen but in the info window it is 32x32.
I have align to pixel grid turned off if that matters at all.
Sometimes when I am typing in the width and height in the transform window changing the size it was previously, example from 67.354 W to 67 and 55.271 H to 55, instead of going to 67x55 it will change itself to 67.18 and 55.084 that is an example not from an actual thing I did.
I was working with Illustrator - InDesign as usual. At the moment of linking my AI file into InDesign, I got this message 8 times in an A4 size frame:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" options turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
Weird... I have never seen this before. I resaved the file, and it keeps happening. I see no such option as "Create PDF Compatible File" when saving just an AI file... I am not trying to make a PDF!
I have done the same procedure linking other AI files into this ID file and it is working as usual. Is just this very one. And it doesn't seem particulary different from what I do everyday...
I finally made a PDF from the AI and placed it into InDesign. But everytime I have to update the AI..
I have several documents with what I call "reference layers" in them that I turn off when making a PDF. When I view the PDF on a Windows based machine, it is fine in both FireFox and IE. When viewing the PDF on a Mac product (iPad, iPhone, Mac desktop), the layers I have turned off are showing up in the PDF.

View 5 Replies View RelatedNew Responsive Scaling feature is great.
It's enabled me to add an Edge Animate file to my responsive Wordpress site using the Edge Suite Plugin.
Only problem for me is that although the 3.7MB file I’ve created scales perfectly on all devices it struggles to play on smartphones. (I assume it's too big and too power hungry to play smoothly on smartphones - even since I've added a pre-loader.)
So, in an ideal world, what I need is a separate low res Edge Animate file that only plays on smartphones.
Failing that, I’d be happy with a 'Down-level Stage' image which could replace the Edge Animate animation.
For a moment I thought I’d found a solution when I came across this Adobe TV movie: [URL]
Unfortunately this clever solution only works when the new Responsive Scaling feature is NOT selected. As soon as it is selected, the animation no longer changes from one layout size to another when the browser window is reduced.
I don’t mind whether the fix is in Edge Animate, Wordpress or the Edge Suite Plugin - I just want a solution!
Artwork becoming deformed after scaling or moving it?
I attached a screenshot of a piece of clipart that I scaled down twice with the original showing on top. You can see in the art in the middle position that it's been changed while the original size and smallest size seem to be fine. They are all the same, copy, pasted and rezied.
It's happening very often, and once it does I end up having to re-import or redraw the art.
how line art changes when scaling object in AI CC? For example I have a logo file to deliver to client that doesn't have the font. In AI CS6 and below you can hold the shift key and resize objects smaller and keep the shape's intergrity. I've noticed in AI CC that resizing fonts converted to paths smaller does not hold the characters shape as well as previous versions of Illustrator. I understood the industry practice of converting fonts to paths as the last thing to do prior to shipping out a design to production. But what happens to logo files that get sent out to clients/vendors, for these files it is paramount to keep the shape intact.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI know, I know. This question has been asked a million times already. Unfortunately the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid / Snap to pixel grid tip doesn't work for me. When I scale the image down to tiny proportions, the path becomes horribly, sickeningly distorted. It certainly seems like the pixels are being snapped to some kind of grid, but as you can see in the screenshot, the option is disabled. I tried switching between RGB and CMYK with no luck but I havent messed with the document profile past that. I am not yet ready to spend another few hours recreating the image.
I am using Illstrator CS6. Everything except the "web studio" is a path.
How could this happen? I tried to scale a logo down to fit a stamp and Illustrator destroys it by distorting the paths.
This is the original logo
And this is what Illustrator does with it when i scale it down. (Image is scaled to same size to better illustrate the distortion)
Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to scale text inside a text box so that the text and box scale together proportionately? Not using the scale tool where you have to enter percentages, but using a keystroke. In Quark, you can do this by holding down Command + Shift and dragging the box. This will make the text and box bigger keeping the same dimensions. It's a very quick and easy way of changing the size of your text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get certain graphics to scale down correctly correctly.
Take a look at the 2 jpegs enclosed - one solid, the other with 1px outline. The graphic men were originally 40mm tall.
In each case the one on the left is the original. The one on the right is the same graphic reduced to 25% then enlarged to 400%. Both should look the same.
How to stop these distortions from happening? I've tried adding and releasing Compound Path, Grouping and Ungrouping, Selecting and deselecting 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. No combination works!
I'm especially confused about 'Scale Stroke and Effects'. Surely when it's selected, the outline should reduce to 0.25 px. It doesn't - it stays at 1px.
Beginner here, but my scaling arrows have disappeared. How can I reset this?

In which dimensions I need to scale the whole work (drawing/text) up/down to be seen on 4/3 and 16/9 monitors?
there are smartphone and tablets standard dimensions too I guess, do i need to create multiple artboards ?
As I explored Dreamweaver CS6 I noticed the dimensions are shown in the "design" view at the bottom for these devices, may be I could use them?
When I hold down shift to scale an object or image to keep the proportions constrained, it does not work. This has only recently started to happen and it also happens on photoshop.
I don't have entourage running, which I read could be a culprit.

Scaling - for some reason the image get distorted after scaling. see example:
Each time I scale it'll do it differently. this time it made the right side thicker.
Alignment - the bounding box has offset and when aligning it doesn't align the objects right:
I have a simple vector image:
And after scaling down (about 10 times) it gets noticeable distortions:
Is it correct behaviour? How can I avoid it?
I tried with "snap to grid" and without it, nothing changes. I'm using Illustrator CC.
I am using AI to import anatomical tracing data (paths and symbols). The data coordinates are in millimeters. I create an artboard as follows:
The file import code reads the data and then passes the bounds data to the art routine, CreateDataArt, as minv and maxv. As can be seen (abRect) the bounds of the data are 13 mm wide by 14 mm top to bottom. Two paths are then drawn into the artboard as shown here:
Note that the rulers are in millimeter units and that the art board is nowhere the correct size.
I'm creating a logo that uses two ovals, an innner and outer one. I'd like the outer one to be an exact, larger version of the inner one and look perfectly proportional to the inner one.
However, as you'll see in the attached, the top version (made up of the inner oval and then a 10% expaned version of it around it as the outer logo) doesn't look as proportional as the the bottom version (made-up of the inner oval and then an outer oval I drew myself that I thought looked good.)
Is there a way to create an exact, larger version of the inner oval (to use as the outer oval) that will look and be exactly proportional to the inner oval? Or is the way I'm doing it (drawing it to look as close as possible a fine way to do it)?
I'm using Illustrator CS6, and want to scale an object that has a brush applied to it without scaling the line weights in the brush. I've been able to somewhat do that by Expanding the object with the brush applied, but then of course it no longer has a brush applied to the object. Is it possible to scale an object without changing the stroke weights in the brush?
This is what I have now when I scale, the line weight of the brush scales when I scale the line weight of the line the brush is applied to:
What I want is to be able to scale the line weight of the line the brush is applied to, but not the line weight of the brush itself.
I have a script font that i need to resize. Most all the font is 144pt one of the letters needs to be 96pt. When i move just this one letter down in size the stroke on that letter looks puny and noticeably smaller.
I need a good way of maintaining the stroke thickness and moving the height and wide down to 96pt.
