View 1 RepliesWhen I click the select tool, a brown selection type of rectangle appears in a particular area of the illustration, even though I have not clicked on the illustration yet. I assume it is some type of warning indication, but don't know what. P.S. It is draggable and scaleable - I can move it off the artboard. An example:

Once I do so the anti-aliasing becomes very poor thus making the SO's text almost illegible. Is there a way to improve this? Maybe change the way the SO is being anti-aliased?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know it is easy to tile objects using the Transformation - positioning and then click on the "relative position" and choose the direction.
But if I want to only shift it half the width to create something that may looks like bricks tiles.
One way to do it is to look up the width and height of the object, bringing up the calculator and divide it with 2 and then enter the result into the positioning manually.
So, I have ensured that Object Selection by Path Only is unchecked in the selection and anchor display prefs. However, I still can't select an object by fill (clicking within the object). I have to go to the object edge and select the path.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd assumed it would be "Press Shortcut Key and tap mouse" or something like that... but it's not.
It seems the Command Key changes the mode of the selection tool, whilst partially, sometimes, enabling selecting underneath. But it's terribly inconsistent, and means that the selection mode is changed if I do manage to select the desired object. Is this how it works?
I'm trying to warp a rectangular shape into something more arched, like the image below. There doesn't seem to be any transformation options under the Edit -> Transform menu. Can this be done? Can it be done to at least 180 degrees?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi want to select all the object , but i locked certain object it show error while submiting below code
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myPageItems = myDoc.pageItems;
for (i=0;i<myPageItems.length;i++)
{
myPageItems[i].selected = true;

modify above code to select all objects except locked object or i want to select objects outside active artboard
My questions is when I draw a line or circle / rectangle no fill, it is nice solid black color lines but when I start manipulate the object and when I am done I have to press right click and apply transformation and the object is not black anymore some grey tones are added to the lines. How can I keep the solid black line?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to select an object and have a script select all objects behind that object, within that objects bounds. I believe this is possible with z-order? But I've never worked with Z-orders before
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to simply select all object directly below an objects?
I found this script here but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's an example file. I'm trying to select eveything below the yellow polygon.
This would be very useful in another project with many small objects bunch together below many larger objects. I want to group the small objects that are bellow the larger object together without having to manually select each objects (there are thousands of objects so a script would be ideal).
On my tool barin transformation bar i had position - absolute (coordinates) and size of a selected object.
i changed something and now i have position like 0.00 x 0.00 (i think its relative position) and when i write something in position it moves relative to previous.
when i press alt+f7 i can change position relative and absolute but toolbar don't change. How to set toolbar to show me always absolute position?
somehow my selection tool has turned into a black pencil with the 'no' symbol next to it. I can create text but it will not allow me to select a drawing tool.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently the cage tool recalculates the transformation with every point I change. This can be terribly slow for every point moved.
What I imagine would be good therefore would be to have an option for how the transformation is previewed -
1. None - useful for moving many points; might not be necessary if 2 below works well2. Low-Res - useful for getting the transformation almost right without incurring exasperating delays3. Full Quality - final checks and tweaks
(It would also be a useful extra to mark key points and see how they move, but not quite so necessary as having a low-res preview option)
Also an option if feasible to transform what's outside the cage also?
Is there some way to force the lasso tool to fully select objects that are not fully encircled by the lasso tool? I want it to fully select any path it touches, similar to the group selection tool.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNoramlly in CS5 and any other version of Photoshop or Illustrator that I know of, if you click a point in an object, it will show the handles for transforming the line. As I'm creating something today, it works for a while and then stops. Yesterday I had the same problem. I drew a few things and then suddenly, the Direct Select Tool is not showing any transform handles.
I can get them to show if I can click and drag a box over the point, but this is slow and doesn't work well for layered art. I already tried resetting my illustrator preferences.
Also, in CS5 there's a simple icon that you can click to convert the currently selected point from a curved point to an angled point. Is there not such a thing in CS2?
The only color the eye dropper tool selects is black. (CS6)
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis morning I had an update and now when I use my direct select tool, all these little dots/targets show up, how do I turn that feature off?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the direct selection tool to select multiple objects that also contain an image within a clipping set, occasionally the clipped image is included in the bounding box, even if it and its clipping mask are not selected. Selecting other objects includes them in the bounding box, but even after deselecting everything the bounding box around the image remains and the only way to remove it is to drag a handle (which resizes the image) and then undo the action. Obviously this is annoying and seriously interrupts workflow. I've had this issue ever since CS4.

Does illustrator allow me to make a selection of the parts I don't need (in a jpeg image) and delete them? Or is the only option Photoshop with the Magic Wand tool, although Illustrator has that one too?
When I select a tool, nothing happens...my cursor remains a useless white arrow! What is wrong??

AIRealMatrix rasterMatrix;
AIRealMatrix placedMatrix;
if (artType == kRasterArt {
error = sAIRaster-> GetRasterMatrix (art, & rasterMatrix);
} else if ((artType == kPlacedArt) {
error = sAIPlaced-> GetPlacedMatrix (art, & placedMatrix);
}
When I converted to using the transformation matrix of PlacedArt, the target art could not be converted to expect. I could convert in case of the RasterArt. (The reference point of the transformation matrix of RasterArt is (0,0).)
In the PlacedArt, preference point is not (0,0)?
The tx/ty of the transformation matrix of PlacedArt is not correct?
In the transformation matrix of RasterArt and Placed Art, how are those two different?
Architectural logo has inserted as OLE object in the title block, we called this title block as x-ref and inserted the title block in paper space (layout). Now when we convert into pdf the drawing the OLE object logo is not appearing and the other coponents are appearing.
what could be the reason, for PDF conversion i am using DWG to PDF.pc3
When we convert same logo as a pdf overlay in CAD by using same .pc3 file it is working fine.
