Illustrator :: Why Does Snap To Pixels ON Kill Smart Guides And Guide Snapping

Aug 27, 2013

Seems like both should still work when snap to pixels is on... but they don't.  Any reason for this?

Illustrator :: Can't Align Objects Or Paths To Guide Intersections With Smart Guides

Jan 4, 2014

In AI, smart guides indicated "intersection" when I am drawing a path or moving an object to align to the intersection of two guides, when I release the mouse, the object I am moving/drawings jumps slightly off the intended alignment intersection.  If I continue to try to move it to align, it jumps to the other side or back to where it was but will mot match the intersection.

Illustrator :: Remove Circular Shape From Rectangle - Smart Guide / Snap To Point Not Working

Aug 6, 2013

I am trying to remove a circular shape from a rectangle in illustrator, the retangles width is 10px and the diameter of the circle is 13px, I centre the circle ontop of the rectangle ( or I appear to)  but when I use the Shape mode tool minus front, the circle is no longer centred ( see images).

I have tried switching off smart guides and snap to grid and am still having the same problem.

In the above image you can see once I have divided the 13px circle from the rectangle it has moved off to one side.
 
Also when I am trying to manually place the circle ( rather than using the centre guides ) I can only move it by a large degree it alway moves further than I move the mouse, could this be because of a pixel grid? I do not think I am using this. ( can see in the above image where I am trying to place the circle and when I let go of the mouse, the grey circle is where it lands.
 
From the 2 images below you can see that there is a 1px difference on either side of the extracted circle I was trying to get centered.
 
I should mention that the 'Align to pixel grid' in the transform menu is inactive when I am trying to do this, as I initially thought that this may be the cause of my problems, but it made no difference.

Illustrator :: CS5 - Snap To Guides?

Feb 4, 2013

How do you get Illustrator (CS5) to snap to guides? I don't want to use smart guides -- just regular old-fashioned guides. I drew a rectangle. I divided the path into a grid. I turned the grid into guides (make guides). But I cannot get anything to snap to the guides. Also, can I control the snap distance (like you can with smart guides)?

Illustrator :: Snap To Guide Intersection When Linked File Visible?

May 20, 2013

I cant seem to snap to guide intersections when a linked jpeg file is visible. It works fine when I turn off the visibility of the layer the file is on but I am trying to "trace" over the image with line segments. I know that I have been able to do this in the past but for some reason it is not working now. Im sure that I have accidentally changed something but don't know what.

Illustrator :: Snap Proportional Drag Scaling To Guides?

Aug 31, 2013

Draw a box.  Draw a Guideline.  Have all snaps on.  Including "smart Guides".
 
Drag proportionally (by holding down SHIFT) the size of the box... and it won't snap to the Guides. 
 
How can proportional scaling be down by dragging, and have Guides and other nodes, vertices, anchors, "smart Guides" etc actually functional as Snap positions?
 
Or Adobe figure there's no need for accuracy when proportionaly scaling?

Illustrator :: In CS6 - Smart Guides Don't Appear To Be Working Correctly

Nov 30, 2013

I'm having some trouble with smart guides in Ai CS6. They are on. However, when my cursor intersects a guide path, words like 'intersect' and 'guide' do not appear, as I have seen them do for others. Also, the 'heads-up' information display that shows the width and height, e.g. when using the grid tool, does not appear either.
 
The guides are working to some extent, it seems, since I do get green lines here and there.

GIMP :: Stop Snapping To The Guides?

Oct 1, 2013

I don't want my images to default to "snap to guides." I have guides up on most of my files because I use them for spacing my comic; I work from a template so I can have consistent sizing. But I only rarely ever want to snap to those guides.

Yes, I can turn off the snapping, but I have to do this EVERY F***ING TIME. Open a file I've been working on already? Gotta disable the snapping. Open a new file? Gotta disable the snapping. Restarting GIMP because it just crashed? Gotta disable the snapping. Every freaking time for each freaking image. Gimp won't save the setting to the file nor to my preferred settings.

How can I get GIMP to stop setting the guides to snap by default?

How to get this corrected or changed?

Photoshop :: Snap To Guides Doesn't!

Jan 10, 2008

The one with the glasses and lank hair, sitting at the back with no mates!

Now have CS3, and cant get the selection to snap!

When using the MARQUEE it positions the selection 2 pixels up and 1 pixel to the left of the guide (on the outside).

The guides will snap to the selection, however.

Sometimes when GUIDES are LOCKED the selection will snap to a guide, but not always.

Also, in the old days the curser would turn red when on a guide when lined up corrctly. This doesn't seem to happen now.

And in the mists of time do I remember correctly that there was a setting in which you could choose the snap distance?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Objects Only Snap To One Type Of Guide At One Time?

Jan 15, 2013

Not sure if this is expected behavior but I've found that it's only possible to snap to one type of guide/grid at any given time.

For example if you want to snap to a guideline in the horizontal and the pixel grid in the vertical, you won't be able to.  Instead, the snap will work on the guide and completely ignore the pixel grid.

Photoshop :: Save Slices And Smart Guides?

Apr 20, 2006

I have to save the smart guides and the slices created with those smart guides.

Is there a easy way to do this independed ( in a separate file ) from my curent design?

I need those for some comming works.

The only thing I comeup with is save a copy of the current design, clear the layers and use it as a template.

But then I lose some flexability if I had to change a smart guide and want to update existing designs.

GIMP :: Snap Cursor To Whole Pixels When Drawing Path

May 7, 2013

I use GIMP 2.6.8 - when I switch to "path" tool or to "free select tool" mouse pointer is allowed to set vertices of the path or selection on non-integer coordinates (i.e. at x=13.5 and y=26.8 pixels)

How can I disable this feature and make mouse pointer (or vertex) snap to pixel boundary (or even to grid). I want it to be able to create paths / selections more accurately sometimes.

(or could I at least enter coordinates for each next vertex manually)

CorelDRAW X6 :: Alignment Guides Doesn't Match With Guidelines And With Dynamic Guides?

May 27, 2013

What I mean:

Draw an ellipse. Skew it with mouse.

Draw a rectangle to allign with ellipse's outer dimension by Alignment Guides (not by Align and Distribute command). 

Now the aligned side of the Rectangle must be tangent to the ellipse BUT it's not! To verify, try to search an intersection point. Draw a Guideline and snap it to the rectangle's aligned side. It must be intersection point between Guideline and Ellipse but there isn't...

Photoshop :: Accurate Placement Of Guides [View>New Guides]

Feb 13, 2008

I have a number of vertical and horizontal guides to be placed, at different points. Is there a better way of placement rather than zooming up on the ruler area, watching the Nav coordinates and dragging and dropping? I'm really looking for a method which will I can key in the actual placement coordinates in some way, and the guide will jump to this point?

Illustrator :: How To Get The Little Green Guide Text Bigger

Feb 6, 2014

So how do you get the little green guide text bigger in illustrator?  You know.. that little green "center" that appears when you mouse over the middle of the art board?  If there isn't a way, I think I know why.  It would have to be a conspiracy by Adobe to make everyone lose their eyesight so nobody can see well enough to design anymore, rendering the world without illustration.  As a computer science major at a large university, I find it hard to believe that nobody can change the code to make this a user defined function in a menu.  I miss my old desktop resolution.

Illustrator :: How To Place A Guide In Exact Center Of Artboard

Nov 4, 2012

1. Is there an easy/precise way to place a guide in the exact center of an artboard?
 
2. I want to use the guide to create a balanced design for a poster by making sure that I place my focal image on the center of guide to ensure that half of it displays on either side of the guide. How important is it to strive for complete balance? Sometimes I see ads that seem to have balance while other times there might be tons of white space an some graphic element on one side or the other of the layout.

Illustrator :: Creating Artboards From Guides

Jul 5, 2012

I am working on a large wall sticker and I need to "slice" the image into pieces for vinyl printing. Is there anyways to place guides (or slices) and have them be converted to separate art boards for printing? In the past I would make individual art boards the exact size of each object and save them one at a time to send to the printer. Then once the art came in I could piece the wall art back together as I applied it to the wall or glass, But this is time consuming.
