I'm creating a criminal line out background . I'm using the line tool to create the lines. I have renamed it in the path tool created a clipping mask but when I flatten the image once finished the lines disappear.
I have also tried creating a new layer naming it putting it between my copied layer and background but once again when flattening the image it doesn't keep the lines. I'm using CS4 .
haven't found a good dashed line tutorial. I don't want the one using brushes where the result is dots. I want dashes.
I want to be able to put them horizontally and vertically around a block of text.
horizontal nav bar just create few lines and copy/paste. Don't know if there is the professional pattern way. Or even if you would use it in this case.
Then there is the diagnol lines, very thing and sharp.
I have been using Photoshop since 5.0, in Photoshop the line tool is used for creating lines, the pen tool is used for creating curved shapes, so what is used for creating curved lines?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a map and need to have curved lines ending in arrows. When I use the line tool it only makes straight lines. When I use the pen tool it only makes solid shapes. I wish to use a tool that acts like the pen tool in illustrator - will give me a line that I am able to curve as I choose, at the thickness I choose, in the color I choose. I've spent an hour trying different tools to achieve this and no luck. A coworker suggested creating the lines in illustrator then importing them, however that seems counterproductive and I can't believe Photoshop can't do something as simple as making a curved line!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a scanned copy of an old architectural plan of a building, it was done by hand is old and being a copy traced by crayon so you can imagine it is very fuzzy and speckled, there are clearly visible but no solid crisp lines.
It has taken me hours just to delete large areas of white space that is fuzzy/speckled.
there is a function that can trace a line ignoring the fuzziness around it and making it crisp? I've been playing around with the magic wand tool but its not coping with it. Despeckle filter doesn't really cut it either.
Is there an easier way to create gridlines as a design element? I know you can set/adjust the grid in the preferences, but I would like to be able to have the gridlines as something editable (changing colors/scale, etc.) and as an element in the piece (as opposed to just a guide overlay that's not integrated).
Up til now I've been doing this the hard way, using guides and the line tool to create/copy/move each line, etc. building it piece by piece...while this works,
I am trying to create a circle with a pre-defined diamter of 7mm, and then I want to add 20 (twenty) generated lines intersecting another 20 lines across the circle.
TO make it more difficult, I need to pre-define the width of the lines, as well as the spacing of the lines.
I have been creating lines using an azimuth and distance by using the transparent command 'zd. I recently tried entering an azimuth of 299.8 and it does not work. It just keeps repeating the "enter azimuth" command. I tried typing 299 for the azimuth and it created the line, but would not work when I typed 299.8.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have looked everywhere at all sorts of photoshop and illustrator tutorials (because I couldn't find a Xara one) to accomplish this effect. I am creating a website for my client Jim and would like to incorporate a similar image to what he's using on his book cover, but with some different colors as the background to his site.
You can see what I'm trying to do in his blog header background here: [URL]......
I've found that this is a stock photo used in a lot of places, but I'm not really interested in getting the original image - I have that, but as a Jpeg on a black background. I'd prefer to learn how to create a similar effect in Xara.
I have tried all sorts of things that are kind of close, but just not there yet. I've tried using a line with pen pressure with a glow shadow. I've tried lines with a stained glass color overlay. I've tried creating a number of different brushes with a few levels of color, some with Gaussian blur applied, etc. but I just can't get this effect down. It always looks pretty good when I'm done, but then I look at the inspirational original and I'm not even in the ballpark for the amount of shine, glow, impact, etc.
In the end, this may not even work for the site since will be putting it on a light colored background, but I still want to know how to create this, as I'm sure I'll be able to use the technique elsewhere.
I have drawing giving to us for a senior design project. I'm trying to create a surface to so that I can analyze cut/fill. Not sure if what i'm doing is right or wrong, I've never used civil 3d. But i'm getting break-line errors whenever i'm trying to create the surface from the contour lines.
Heres a link i took of what i'm doing on youtube [URL]........
I'd like to know the coordinates relative to the last entry when creating lines (splines). When creating splines using the line tool, it would be useful to know the coordinates of my current cursor position relative to the last point in an easy way, so I can draw precisely a long line without having to memorize the coordinates of the last point.
Initially, I thought the 'Keyboard Entry" rollout would show the values that reflect what I'm doing visually, just like the rectangle tool for example, or pretty much any other tool, I don't know why the 'line' tool is different but anyways.
I'm trying to create dotted lines that are actually circles and not square shaped dots (the given option in the outline menu). Is the best/only way to do this by creating a new Artistic Media Brush? It seems like there should be an easier option when needing to create a long dotted line or a shape with a dotted outline.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are using a file created by another company and making additions to it for Interiors. While working in this file we have added some new layers and have begun to hatch new walls. While hatching some of these wall my boss received a message saying that the file had errors. He saved and closed the file at that point. When he re-opened the file a number of lines were missing from the file.
They appear to be completely random - i.e. parts of chairs are missing but not the whole chair, parts of walls but not whole walls. The things missing were not all on the same layer and were not necessarily items that had been hatched.
Note - we are running 2012 and the files were created in 2007

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen creating Feature Lines, I wanted them to be e.g. Step Line 1, Step Line 2, Step Line 3 etc so I amended the name template to suit. I created multiple from objects and the naming convention worked. If I did features individually (as I wanted certain ones in certain sites) it worked for the first feature but reverted back to the default Feature line name on subsequent entry to the dialog i.e. it had "forgotten" the template name just set.
Am I missing something to get this to work correctly or is this how it's supposed to work i.e. useless for individual feature line creation?? This also happens for gradings.

How do i get rid of jagged lines?
Circles and diagonal lines look rubbish when i am in hidden view which i use for simple 3d black / white (i think this is the best way?).

- regen

way to make a CAD drafted plan look like it was drawn by hand? Or is there a way to use a photoshop brush to draw a line that looks like the pressure was varied along the length of the line, giving it some artistic character?
I've heard of people using Illustrator for this type of thing, but all I have is photoshop. I'm on a quest to make CAD drawings look hand-drawn.
With all of you fine teachers, I have the know-how to get the start and end values of a line.
Do you think there is a way to get a point returned that represents the true intersection of the two lines, without having to involke a user defined "getpoint" function using "intersect" osnap?
