So, i went back to an image i made a while ago because i wanted to remember how i went about doing something. i also got out my notebook where i kept track of particular aspects of the lesson.sadly, i do not seem to have written down the one thing i am looking to recall.
see the open path that defines the arm inside the red circle?well, i'm working on a female version of this but i can't seem to recall how i went about duplicating the path so that the stroke and layer styles are copied as well.
i selected the pen tool > set to path > drew out my path > right clicked to select stroke path then i double clicked on the layer to add a gradient overlay and a drop shadow
now, when i made the guy above all i wrote down to do is to copy and transform but now when i do this only the path is copied.i have tried copy, copy merged, paste, paste special and paste in place.when i use ctrl + J and then flip it the stroke and ls's aren't copied?
ctrl + j makes a new layer with the layer styles listed but when i did it the first time this is what my layers look(ed) like how the "right arm" layer doesn't list the layer styles?
how one goes about copying and pasting an open path such as this so that one has a layer without the styles listed? i have also used alt + ctrl + t and dragged to copy but this also makes a layer with the styles listed.
I have 2 layers of text in a .psd that I want to simply copy and paste into another .psd. I select both layers and link them together, though when I copy and paste into the other .psd only one of the layers is pasted. How do you do this?
I'm a PS newbie, and I've been trying to copy a selection from one image and paste it in another. This normally works perfectly, but I've been having real problems with one image. Whenever I copy something onto it (with most pics, at least; haven't tried them all) the copied selection loses all colour and texture and becomes an apparently random selection of white and black pixels.
Is there a setting somewhere that I should change? Are the images just incompatible? Please help.
Here's an example screenshot. Request any further information you want and I'll try to provide it.
Edit: In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to copy the stick on the right onto the witch.
how do i copy an image and paste it on another image on photoshop cs4? i have already used the pen tool on the pic i need to copy but i cant seem to copy and paste it on the other picture.
I am having a problem with copying one .png to another .png.I am trying to combine 8 .png files into 1. The way I am doing this is by expanding the canvas on 1 of the .png files and then going to the other and using the rectangle marquee tool to select the .png and then copying and pasting it into the other .png. When I do this it is causing there to be a color change in the copied .png.
When I use the polyagonal lassoo (or whatever it's called), select copy, then paste the selected image onto a new blank file, the selection changes from colour to black and white-
I copy an image from Illustrator, go to my photoshop file (a mockup template that I use several times a day) and "paste" is not available (grayed out) like there is nothing on my clipboard. Usually after I make 2-3 attempts at the whole process (back to AI, copy... to PS, paste...etc) I can finally get it to work, but there is an abnormally long lag time when moving from AI to PS (ai acts likes it's trying to save information before it allows the PS window to come to the front). I realize there are other ways to get AI info into PS, but this is the quickest and has always worked before. All I am doing is dropping artwork onto a mockup template, it seems wasteful to save an additional file (in order to use the "place" command in PS) just to allow that.
This problem started last week, and at about the same time saving from Illustrator in some instances has become really slow (3-4 times longer than normal)
Bought x6 a couple of weeks ago together with a new Windows 8.1 and 64 bit pc. I get a problem when I paste part of one image into another one. If I want to move it or enlarge/decrease the pasted part, it freezes or only part of it appears. However, if I then click on the composed image and reduce the size a bit, the pasted part appears ok. Nuisance as it slows the process down and should not be happening. as this never happened with X3 running on Windows 7 32 bit?
I have just started working with GIMP, after years of using Photoshop, which I can't afford anymore. Most of the tools don't look that different from what I was used to in PS, but I ran into a problem right away: I don't seem to be able to cut an image and then paste the cut image as a new layer on top of another image. I creates a new layer alright, but I don't see the image I want to copy.
I'm developing a project that is made up of clips taken from several other projects. Right now I go to one of the source projects view and find the clips I want, write them down and their location and so forth through all the source projects. Then I go and try to build my new project using this info. As the project grows this starts to get confusing. If two projects could be opened at once it would work but that can't be done.
How can know if entities are being manually copied and pasted between drawings.A thought is to add a GUID to each entities Xdata and check if the value is in the named object dictionary.
I'm running AutoCad LT 2006 on a Windows 7 64bit pc and keep getting the error message ''ARX ERROR: eDuplicateKey'' when copying and pasting objects from one cad file to another.
Got a question regarding copying in viewports that are in the paper space. Basically i have a model space where the whole drawing is kept and bunch of other paper space tabs/layouts that have viewports in them. Now the problem is when i have to do a quick fix in paper space, ill double click to go "inside" the viewport to i can edit it. While inside the viewport i would do CTRL-C on some objects or text and after that suddenly autocad would crash and windows would say Autodesk Application has stopped working, and you can only click cancel and when you do it just closes AutoCad. I dont know if this is a bug or is it due to memory management. I have 8Gb of Ram on the machine and running AutoCad 2012 LT.
I want to get rid of it, so i'm copying various parts of the background, and pasting them over the signpost. unfortunately, after pasting a section, i can't seem to deselect the newly pasted section. I've had a google and many forums are telling me to go Select -> None, but this is greyed out. I can save the picture, close it, and reopen in GIMP, but i dont want to do this everytime I paste.
I have made an object using the artistic media tool and I would like to copy and paste it, however when I try and paste it into my page there is nothing there but the bounding box. How do I copy and paste this object so it can be seen?
I notice that when copying and pasting objects to another part of the same drawing it does not appear to be possible to get an exact alignment with the grid structure. I have done this with OSNAP switched OFF and with Snap ON but it does not give the desired result, the elements of the copied drawing always being just off the grid and not in true alignment.
I'm using AutoCAD 2009 . is there a way of copying paste the dimension style of one file to another. I have to manually set the dimension style in every new file i create. I want to have uniformity in all my floor plans. I know of the alternative of having all the floor plans in one single file. But I don't want it that way.
I am copying and pasting a block from one drawing to another but as soon as I past it, AutCAD stops responding. I have done purging and auditing and still can't solve the issue.
What is the cause of text that I copy and paste not retaining the colors it had? I have many text blocks with large numbers and letters each having their own color and when I copy them in order to paste them elsewhere, the letters/numbers have different colors. For example all numbers that may have been pink are now black.
Copy and pasting from the AutoCAD to the Word keeping the scale,
I’m wondering if there is a way to copy/paste or export, etc the drawings from the AutoCAD to the MS Word such that the scale of the drawings is kept correct.
I'm a new user of AutoCAD. I am creating a template, but when I try to drag or copy and paste the layers. blocks, dimstyles, multileaderstyles, etc. from design center, a message pops up that the parameter is incorrect, or it would just not drag and drop. I have the original drawing open as instructed, but nothing seems to work.
I have a hard time copying/pasting graph editor curves from a scene to another, since it`s only a specific part of the timeline, is there some basic rules that are to be observed for things to work properly? Yes after a thousand tries i`m going to have to edit every darn ecking curves accordingly to those i wanted to copy.
I am in AutoCAD LT 2008. Within the last few months I have noticed that some of my text is changing from a regular font style to bold when being copied/pasted, moving, and/or stretching. This is also happening with the text in my dimension style. When I check properties, nothing has changed from one text's set of properties to the other. I have not changed any settings that I am aware of since this started happening. In some cases if I paste with a base point, then paste I can avoid this, but not in all cases. I have also opened the text boxes to verify that the bold button did not get activated. This is a very annoying problem and if I don't catch all the text that has been affected it makes drawings look inconsistent.
I have an issue with copying cells containing text from Microsoft Excel 2011 for Mac and pasting them into Illustrator CS5. I select the whole cell(s) from Excel, open a blank Ai document and, without anything selected so the format is preserved, I paste the cells.
The issue comes with the resulting copy of the cells in Ai. The type which was bold in Excel is bold in Ai... but not really. Ai pastes the bolded text as not bold, but then makes a copy of that same text, puts a stroke on it, then places that over the regular text, so it looks bold. But now I have two copies of the same word, one regular and one with a stroke on it right on top of one another.
This normally wouldn't be an issue but I have to edit this info in Ai later - and there's a second problem. When I paste the bold text from Excel in Ai, the resulting word is broken up into individual text blocks for each letter. Instead of preserving the whole word as one editable text block, I now have to click on each letter to change it.
There is a catch 22 to these problems: These cells that I am copying from include bolded and regular text, and the regular text pasted into Ai without any problems (even the text blocks are preserved). So it's the bold text that is causing the problems
I have a feeling this has to do with how the individual cells are formated in Excel, but I have to copy data from many different cells made by many different people, so I am at a loss of what to do.
I have include a screen shot of what's going on with cells after I paste them in Ai. I have moved the oulined "5" up so you can see the regular "5" below it.
We are using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and AutoCAD LT 2013 in our office-just upgraded. Now, whenever we go into a drawing that uses the Archstyle (Shx) font and try to copy or paste any text, the font changes to simplex. We have to exit completely out of AutoCAD to recover the font.
I have the 2013 AutoCAD Student Version and I want to transfer my file to the AutoCAD 30-Day Proffessional version, Can I do this by easily Copying and Pasting the drawing from version to version?
trying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space. If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.
way to convert an open path to a selection that is just around the path? When I try to convert it to a selection it basically closes the path and then selects everything inside it. I am looking to select everything within a certain number of pixels of the path so I get a selection that looks like a line, not a big blob.
I change between screens a lot when using Illustrator. If I am in the middle of making a path and then try to come back to it the last anchor point only has one handle. Then I have to go and convert it but that repeats the entire process.
For example if I wanted to connect to the below path, hovering over the anchor point would switch to this: but that leaves me with an anchor point and one direction handle. This makes for poor curves There must be a quicker way then having to convert each anchor point no?
to get Illustrator to open the files I needed (I open various files based on input from the user).Then I want to save them back off again using a variance of the file path of the file that was opened.I am having difficulty getting the file path of the open doc ... trying to use
XCode is very unhappy with me at the moment. It is telling me that I am illegally referencing the FilePath object from inside of my button proc.
I don't know if I have the right includes in the file or have obtained the correct suites for what I want to do.The api reference says not to use the AIFilePathSuite but to use the ai::FilePath as a wrapper instead. Any examples of the SaveAs?
Basically what I want to do is take the file I have opened using the OpenAction and modify the path (take off the file name, and the last folder and then append the new folder name and file name). Then perform the save as (using native file format).
//save the doc as id.ai in a folder named as id to hold supporting files ai::FilePath aiFile; sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(aiFile); aiFile.RemoveComponent(); aiFile.RemoveComponent(); std::stringstream out; out << "\" << displayedLogo->getLogoID().c_str() <<"\"<<displayedLogo->getLogoID().c_str()<<".ai"; aiFile.AddComponent(ai::FilePath(ai::UnicodeString(out.str())));
