Photoshop :: Distribute Set Of Objects With Minimum Or Specified Distance
Mar 21, 2012
Any way to distribute a set of variously-sized 2D objects on a 2D surface in Photoshop or Illustrator? Illustrator lets you align objects evenly along a 1D line, but I want the objects to basically fill a surface evenly.
A simple way of phrasing this is: I have a set of X objects of different size (or shape). I want them to be as close to each other as possible, but without overlapping. It should be easy for software to find the perfect composition to minimize "air gap" between them.
As a result, If I feed the program with shapes of various shape and size, I should get results like this:
wholesale-fabric-discount-store.com/images/Giraffe_Fabric.jpg (air gap between the objects is approx. mininal)
(air gap between the objects is approx. minimal)!

what the minimum distance between two 3D rectangles is. I can do trial and error using the INTERFERE command (Acad 2012) and move the 2 groups until they stop hitting each other, but I wanted to see if there is a command in ACAD that will tell me how close 2 objects pass.
I have an old pile foundation group for 4 tower legs and I wanted to see how close I could get the new pile group to the old group. I'll try to attach a dwg file with 3 options I was trying. The old group is in Cyan and the new group is Red.
I'm guessing I could use UCS and set it on one of the piles and measure to the closest old pile, but the screen gets so cluttered. Is there a way to only show a slice through the objects?

I want to measure the minimum distance between 2 parts. But I want Ilogic to know what parts to measure according to what i've selected.
I have something like this but its not working... gives me always this error "
Measure.MinimumDistance: No entity named "System.__ComObject" was found."
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrenceDim oOccurrence2 As ComponentOccurrenceTry oOccurrence = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(1)oOccurrence2 = ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet.Item(2)Catch MessageBox.Show("Please select a component before running this rule.", "iLogic") ReturnEnd Try Dim doc As DocumentDim CurFileName As String oOccurrence = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(1) oOccurrence2 = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SelectSet.Item(2) distance = Measure.MinimumDistance(oOccurrence,oOccurrence2)MsgBox(distance)

align & distribute 'tools' i use them all the time.but it has always appeared thay they are only good for a single row of objects.
is this correct or is it possible to select a 'grid' of objects and have them evenly aligned & distributed?

Is there a method to evenly distribute objects around a circle? I understand the horizontal and vertical alignment tools, but I'm not sure how to apply them in this situation. Attached are a sample picture of what I want to accomplish and the .xar file (XDP7).

Say I have a group that consists solely of five triangles. Is it possible to use simultaneously align or distribute functions on while selecting just those five triangles? It seems like I can align up to four triangles at a time within the group, but when I select all five Illustrator interprets that I'm trying to align the entire group with another object outside of that group. Key objects don't seem to be supported in this situation.

VERSION: Illustrator CC Mac
I've always assumed that the order of the layers determined the order and position that shapes are moved in the Distribute function.
I'm having a wierd problem today and the order seems to be defined by something I can't figure out. I'm trying to vertically distribute a set of the same shape and instead of counting the shapes in order from left to right or vise versa the distribute function seems to be randomly picking the order of the shape, not basing it on location or layer order.
In both examples I have used a Vertical Distribute Center and both groups of shapes are ordered from left to right in the layers palette with the left most layer being the first layer and the right most shape being the last.
What is causing the shapes to be distributed in this order? How do I specify what the order is if it isn't based on layer or position order?

I love the function in Photoshop in which you can stroke a selection with a brush. Was wondering if that was possible in CorelDraw X4 as well. I know that we can put text on a path, but is that also working with objects?
Since I like making patterns, I would like to place and distrubute objects along a circle or hexagon shape (and other simple shapes).

I'm trying to get the distribute tool to distribute some text objects (for a website menu) evenly. however, using the distribute section of the alignment tool only enables me to set an offset that measure the distance between the left, center or right edge of each object. if the objects are different widths, they will have varying distances between their edges.

When I use "object/blend/replace spine" it will distribute the objects evenly around the circle, but with no rotation. My issue is that I have objects shaped like people and would like them evenly around the circle, but rotated correctly so that their feet are all touching the circular path and their heads are always facing out. How can I achieve this?

I am working on a personal data visualization project but currently stuck and can't go forward. As you can see below in the image, I created all my data bars and tried to distribute them on a 360 degree path myself.
But clearly, I couldnt able to create a perfect 360 path.
All of the bars are each group objects on their own. I am sure there is a way to distribute them perfectly on Illustrator but I cant find it. There is a option on Blend>Replace Spine but it is not active.

How can I distribute multiple objects without distorting them on a circle path?
I have a few objects that I want to distribute to a circle line. I've tried scatter brush (looked horrible) , pattern brush (what you see here).No matter what I do, those objects are distorted.
Clients may want objects to be as many as 30 or 40, so I hope to avoid switching the objects manually.

I'm using AutoCad LT 2007, so I understand I may not be able to do this.
I have two object, such as circles, and they are a certain distance apart. It does not matter. I have an object/text between them that does not fit between them. I cannot scale the inside object as it has to be the same size as the others of it's kind. I would like to take the two circles and put a greater distance between them. In other words I want there distance to go from, say, 5 units to 10 units without moving the center point of the two objects. I was thinking something similar to: select the two objects, select the midpoint of the two objects, and enter the command to change the distance between them. Almost like a stretch command out from a center point, but with two objects. I can find the center point of the two objects, that's no problem.
This is the way I do it now, and I'm trying to find a quicker way to improve my AutoCad skills. Select the object on the right and move it right a certain distance, then select the left object and move it left the same distance. It works, it's just slow.

I'll start off by saying I'm new to scripting. I've tinkered with a script I found for measuring the length and width of a selected object and placing those values in a specs portion of the file. It works great, I'm very excited about how much better my life could be if I conquered scripting, and now I'm struggiling to get another one working but I'm a little stuck.
What I need to do now is measure and print the distance from the right edge of a selected object to the left edge of another object named "repeat" in a designated "specs" area of the page. The idea is to show the distance between a print impression and when it will print again (repeat), because it is printed using a print cylinder that rotates to print over and over on a continuous film.
I'm a little fuzzy on how I call the value of the left side x value of an object, but basically what I want is to use that value and then subtract from it the width of the selected object. The difference is the distance between impressions.

I'm trying to move an object a certain distance at a certain angle. I select the object and hit Enter to bring up the Move dialog. I enter the angle and distance, and instead of moving the specified distance, it moves some other distance. I don't get it. Am I doing it wrong? I can't imagine how else it's supposed to work. Here's a simple example:
Based on the angle and distance I entered in the video, the duplicate square should have been placed so that its lower right corner touches the upper left corner of the original. Instead, it only moved half an inch or so.

I would like to write some sort of AutoLISP program to evenly space objects across a given distance. I have attached a .pdf file showing what exactly I mean.
I would like the program to enable me to either enter or measure (via the selection of two points) the "z" distance, to enter or measure the "y" distance, and to enter the number of objects, "n". I would then like the program to evenly space "n" objects across the "z" distance.
A program like this is, I have to be honest and say, way beyond my current capabilities.
Perhaps some initial guidance to get me going?

I am trying to oTrack distance from the top circle edge of a cylinder to a certain distance ... whenever i try to do that ... it either track to x and y .. but not in z :/ ... the video i have on you tube he did it so simply and it seems to be easy .
I am not sure what is wrong .. but i heard parallel and perspective view could make a difference .. i actually try both :/ ...

I thought these filters enlarge or contract a selection, but I'm testing them out and all I see it what's inside the selection go white or black. Maybe I'm not understanding this.

My pictures may eventually be part of a book and they must be a minimum 300dpi. I started out with Microsoft Windows Gallery and the crops and editing change the dpi logically proportionally. PSE11 drops the dpi rapidly with even a simple crop.

I use Safari version 10.7.5.When I tried to use Photoshop for the first time I received a message that my computer does not have the minimum 512 MB of vRAM and that updating the driver of my graphics card may resolve the issue.
I went to the Adobe site and downloaded Retail_256.02.25f1v1.dmg, but the message still appears.

I would like to align the edges of two anchor points. But when I try, the alignments are disabled. It seems this is only posibble for aligning multiple shapes, but not for individual anchor points. It would be nice if this works the same as in illustrator.

Is there a possibility to distribute a batch task between several computers? For example rendering raw files into jpgs and applying actions.
On bigger events it would greatly reduce the waiting time for the processed files. Instead of one computer working for two hours, maybe two machines could do it in an hour?
Of course I can split the files and start two separate batch tasks on separate computers but a task server would make the workflow easier. 3D and video software have a lot of options for distributed rendering..
