View 2 RepliesMy old boss started up his own company and I am wanting to create dim styles and text styles for this said company. Right now, we use ones that have been carried over in projects from previous employers, and they are driving me nuts. Even when I worked at said employer, i always thought things could be handle much simpler than what they had in place.
creating Dim styles and Text styles that we can use from here forward. My problem is, I havent created one since school and forgot all about how too
I am using autocad civil 3d 2012 and know they have annotative dimensions and what not, so can these be used to make life simpler?
In other words, can I create one dim style that can be used in different projects/sheets that have different scales?and last but not least, the great old debate, is it easier to create dim styles for annotating in model space or just create one and do all my annotating in paper space?
I want to have two dimension styles in one dimension line. The first style would be a point to point dimension with the text centered and above the dimension line. The second style would be a running dimension to each point with the text over the second extension line and above the dimension line. Right now I am using two seperate dimension lines, one on top of the other. I'm trying to find a way to combine them into one dimension line so that I won't have to dimension the same thing twice.
At first I thought that using alternate units would work, however I was not able to find a way to seperate the two dimensions. Also, I didn't see how to make the alternate units a running dimension.
As with any upgrade to Corel over the past decade, they change things on new versions and hide them! I've been using since v1.0 (which instantly became v1.1 upon release).
I JUST installed v X6 and off to my first problem within 10 minutes.
The old menu in X5 used to have a docker called "Graphic and Text" which is no longer available in X6. After some research, it looks like the "apply a style or style set to an object" is the way to go, HOWEVER if I right click on the text as suggested to find the "Object Styles" menu, the sub menu is a blank little rectangle that won't display the menu items.
How to copy a style to a menu and then apply it as well in X6?
I always put the dimensions and text leaders in model space, is it true if I plan to have 3 different viewport scales, I would have to create 3 different dimension styles for each VP scale, it’s quite hard to predict in advance which VP scale that I am going to use, Let say I am going to use 1/8”=1’ what is the simple math formula to use?

I've been told to create new dimensioning styles for the company to use as standards when making a drawing. One thing mentioned in particular was the inclusion of 0 inches in architectural drawings.
For example: say a part is 14 feet, 1/2 inches long. Inventor shows this: 14' - 1/2" , but they want this: 14' - 0 1/2" . They've had a problem before with the 1/2 being printed strangely, and the machinist thought it said 1 1/2.
They say that including the 0 is standard, and I need to make it happen.?
I'm currently doing some testing of 2014 SP1 and noticed the Copy Styles routine when creating Plan Production Sheets doesn't seem to function as it did in 2012?
Using 2014 SP1, I data referenced a Pipe Network into a Plan Prod. sheet that was created before the Pipe networks were created. After data referencing the first Pipe Network into the plan sheet, I tried to label my pipes and structures, noticed none of our custom styles got copied (during create sheets command) into the sheet?
In 2012 they did.We have a lot of these Plan Production dwt's here and it's going to be a major PITA if all Plan Production.dwt's will need to have all Styles within them.
The nice thing about the way it used to work is the styles only needed to be maintained in a couple base.dwt's.
In addition to these Pipe & Structure label styles missing the list goes on throughout the Settings tab. Only present styles seem to be of "in use" nature such as pfl style, Alignment style, pfl view style etc. where the sheet creation process pulled specific information into the sheet dwg from source dwg.
Also did a quick test of our 2012 configuration and majority of , if not all, styles from source dwt do get copied over eliminating the need for them within the Plan Production dwt's. 2012 SP3 used here.

I have (unfortunately) the necessity to modify into some files (which are used as models) the print style preset.
These files, which are necessary for the realization of electrical diagrams, have inside hundreds of layout.
Each layout set default printing parameters, so as "Laser b/n.pc3," as the paper size "A4" scale "Scale to Fit", and plot style "Schemi.ctb", etc. ..
Is there a way to create a macro (a field unknown to me) or something similar, to automatically change in all the default layout, for example, the printer "Colori.pc3" and the print style in "Schemi_colori.ctb "?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you apply certain contour label styles to certain surface styles (i.e. When I have an existing surface i want the default contour labels to be an "existing contour" style). Right now the default is a "finished contour" label style for all surfaces.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do update the styles library to keep from getting the Styles Conflict error box. I have used the Standard.dwg file that loaded with Inventor 2012 but everytime I change styles and save the changes in a new template in reverts back to the library definitions.
I used to be able to select 'NO' in the LIbrary option of the Projects Folder but that optiion no longer exists.
We've created a new parts list style for a border.When the border tempalt file is on the c: drive...everything works hunky dory...parts list, revision tables, etc.But as soon as we copy and paste that border into the template library folder for new drgs...the parts list style is missing from the local styles?
So to make it appear on the new document...the style manager has to be set at all styles and the new parts list style has to be saved to the document?What aren't we doing to make it appear on the template?
Also note that because the drawing border template is in a template folder as part of the design projects...it is NOT editable...so it has to be edited outside the template folder.
I am trying to get point 1234 to show a label that says Point #1234 and then in a grading plan have that same point show up as a spot elevation. I have tried making two point groups "Point #" and "Spot Grades" which include the same points in them with two different label styles for each group, however the point seems to only want to take one label style at a time.

Here is some POF: proof of concept, as it were, from one of my recent projects. I's not a final result, I can't post it here. But it's just some quick way to illustrate the way to use Layer Styles somewhat creatively.
Here blood is supposed to be gathering volume and welling as it streaks down. It's all about Layer Styles:
As you can see blood stain is inside the Smart Object. One instance is placed under and another one is put above. The one above is added Layer Styles namely Bevel, Shadows and other ones, but with the gradient mask applied.
This way Layer Styles change there effect smoothly, according to layer mask: Bevel grows it's depth downwards, etc. And the Blood stain itself stays editable as a Smart Object. It can be tweaked any way you like. The same goes for Layer Styles options and the mask. Levels on mask can be used to fine tune the final view.
This is my first post, and I need an answer to a gradient question. Is it possible to create custom gradient "styles" (i.e. linear, radial, etc.) in Photoshop? If so, how is it done?

I had made some styles that I would like to copy to new version. Is there a way to get these files, remember I can't start Photoshop and just export them I need to find their location and manually copy them to the new version.
I know you can save layer styles easily and apply them to other layers.
Can you do the same thing for fonts? I tried to make a tool preset, but I heard an error bleep whenever I clicked the new preset button and had the flashing typing bar in the text I wanted to save.
When using styles in photoshop, is there away to adjust transparence of a selected style I want to use?

View 3 Replies View Relatedabout the layer effects, specifically the shadows.
I have 2 layers:
1st layer has a 'Inner Shadow' at an angle of 150 degrees.
2nd layer.....I went to give it a 'Drop Shadow' of 100 degrees and notice that the 1st layer's angle has changed to '100' degrees from '150'.
Why is PhotoShop modifying the shadow effects of other layers when 1 in modified. Is this commom an how to disable it?
I know I could just create the layer in a new .psd, flatten and drag to the composition. But can't I just do it in the same .psd?
I have Photoshop CS installed and my daughter had Elements 3, but wanted me to show her how to use it. I installed it on my laptop to figure it out. I recently uninstalled it and now my icons for all my downloaded styles, brushes, actions, plugins, and shapes are generic windows icons. I keep them in separate folders to use in Photoshop as I need them. I can still use them, so it's not that big of a deal, but the Photoshop style icons are missing. I know it had something to do with uninstalling Elements 3 because I restored my computer thinking something was wrong and realized Elements was back and I checked and the icons were back. I uninstalled Elements again and they were gone again.

Here is my problem...
I want the bevel to be like this...
In the above image, the bevel is squared out on the letters, in mine attempt, its round... I cant fix this , Anyone know why?
Also the bevel seems to have created an odd effect on it, loads of jaggy lines, why are they there?
I recreated this as a vector and applied the styles in Adobe Photoshop CS3, would it be possible to import my Adobe Photoshop blending styles, gradients etc into Adobe Illustrator CS3?
whenever i use layer styles on an object, and try to free transform it, it gets distorted everywhere...like vertical gradient lines. the edges also distort.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get a nice gold style for some time now, and finally created one that I like using a few different styles togeather.
With that being said What I did was break apart the FX into Multiple Layers, and Create the Effect that I wanted.
Now that I have the effect that I want, I want to put them back into the FX section on my text, so I can create a style of the new style I created, and Merge them back with the Text.
The problem I am having is that I like the look I have right now, and would like it to become a new style, so that if I change the text or font, the rest of the effects will change accordingly. Right now The text Changes but the shadow doesn`t, inner glow doesn`t ect. so the resulr is a ghost image with the newly changed font over top but the shadowing effects underneith remaining in the old font.
