Photoshop :: Multiple Text Instances On A Single Layer?

Apr 14, 2006

Up until now, I've been using Paint.NET as my main paint program. It worked well enough but had a few specific limitations that forced me to request the company I work for to purchase Photoshop CS2, which they did. In fact, the IT dept just finished installing it.

I'd like to have a single text layer with multiple instances of text, but everytime I go to add additional text, CS2 "conveniently" creates a new layer for me. Is there any way to tell CS2 to "Stop that!" and let me create as many individual instances of text on one layer as I want? I am labeling buildings/roadways on aerial photos and don't need to have 40-50 text layers per photo.

Illustrator :: Multiple Instances Of Single Link

Feb 6, 2013

I created a clothing price tag design (consisting of some vector artwork, text, and a raster image as a background), and now i'm attempting to create a grid layout of the tags for print (20 tags on a letter-size page i can print using a desktop printer and cut apart manually).
 
Sounds simple enough, right?  Just duplicate the artwork 20 times.  Easy.
 
But here's the catch:  20 copies of the artwork (i.e. 20 copies of every point, line, object, and image) makes for a freaking huge file, too big for the printer to handle.  It gets acceptably smaller if i save it as a PDF without preserving Illustrator editing capabilities, but then that defeats the purpose; i need to be able to change the prices at will.
 
Now, it would seem to make the most sense to save the individual tag design as its own AI file (let's call it 'tag-design.ai'), then simply Place tag-design.ai into a new file as a link, and duplicate it 20 times to create the print layout.  Theoretically, i would only need to edit the artwork itself once (to change the price, change a color, etc.), and the changes would be automatically applied to my layout file.  However, this is apparently too much to ask:  each time the linked artwork is copied, it creates a new, separate link.  To further frustrate things, when i edit the artwork file, i then have to update all 20 links manually, meaning that 20 different times, i get an Open File dialog, and have to select tag-design.ai 20 separate times.  In the end, it's an exercise in extreme redundancy, and the file size of the layout isn't made any smaller.
 
Is there something i'm overlooking, or is there really no better, more efficient solution than just making 20 copies of everything and ending up with a file size of 80-90mb?

Photoshop :: How Do I Keep Multiple Text Lines In A Single Layer?

Mar 14, 2005

How do I create multiple lines of text in a single layer. Everytime I finish with a line and want to go to the next, I hit 'Enter', but that completes the text. If I click on the layer image again, then it creates another layer.

So basically if I have 10 lines of text, I end up with 10 layers of text as well. Needless to say, this becomes to much trouble if I have to center each line of text and add blending options to 10 layers instead of one.

AutoCad 2D :: Text 2 MText - Multiple Instances

Oct 29, 2012

I discovered the TXT2MTXT command and how wonderful it is, but there is one thing missing. Is it possible to change multiple texts, but separately WITHOUT having to re-issue the command? I've experimented with some of the in command options, but unless I'm missing something, nothing seems to work.

Preferably, I would like it to work like the FILLET -> Multiple command, so I could select a group of texts, convert them then select another group etc, but the 'multiple' option in TXT2MTXT does not work in such a way.

AutoCad 2D :: Multiple Instances Of Same Text Values In Same Drawing But In Different Formats

Dec 18, 2011

I need multiple (say two) instances of the same text values (in the same drawing) but in different formats.

Consider this: I have a drawing sheet with a title block that contains the drawing number and the author's name at the bottom with some other drawing details. Now I wish to have these "values" arranged in a matrix form at the top also, for indexing purpose.

TitleBoxMonoSpace.png

One way is to manually enter each value, one by one, in the matrix box but that would be too time consuming. So, is there a way to automate this; where I can enter the values in the bottom title block, which would automatically update the above matrix?

I believe it can be done using a combination of Attributes and Fields but am just not getting it. To make the issue even worse, I need Numbers without hyphens (-) and only Initials of the author's name!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select Multiple Instances Of Text (dtext) With Different Strings

Apr 23, 2012

I am trying to select multiple instances of text (dtext) with different strings but want to change all of the fomats to the same settngs.  I have searched high and low on the web to no avail.  I am using AutoCAD 2012.

For example:  I want the routine to find all instances of "AA", "AB", "AC", "AD", "BA", "BB", "BC", "BD", etc... all the way up to "ZD".

Next I want all of those text entities to change to the following text formats:

Text Style = STANDARD_96Layer = F-ANNO-CKTText Justification = MIDDLE CENTERText Width = .8

Getting this to work with just finding one string at a time with the ssget function seems simple enough, but it's getting it to work with multiple strings that I can't get past.

Photoshop :: Multiple Windows (masks) Onto A Single Layer?

Sep 12, 2013

I have a large image, and want to use the new generator feature to automatically extract two specific areas of this image (which is on a single layer) to two separate files.

AutoCad 3D :: Multiple Layers Moved To A Single Layer?

Jul 6, 2011

I'm working on a drawing and I need to take multiple layers that I have drawn (which make up one unit) and basically merge them together so that I can replicate and move them about and place them where they need to go in the larger unit that they live in.

I tried playing with grouping in the Layers Manager, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. Not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, or if there is another way to go about this.

I'm attaching my CAD drawing so you can see what I'm up to. In this drawing, there are basically two groups of layers. Those that make up the Control Tower itself, and another group for what's called a Tajimi Rack. I need to have all the layers for the Tajimi Rack made as one so that I can move that object around without having to move the layers one at a time. (There is a lot more that needs to drawn into the Tajimi Rack, but once I know how to merge them all together, I'll be in a good position to carry forward.)

I also need to know how to then take that new Tajimi Rack layer and duplicate it (I'm looking to place about a dozen of the Tajimi Racks in the control tower.

FWIW, I'm a self taught CADer. By that I mean I have to use CAD in my job but it's always done in a 2D setting where I'm simply looking through roofs with other drawings laid under for rigging purposes. This drawing things in 3D concept is something I'm just making up as I go along. 5PTS Control Tower.dwg

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part File With Multiple Instances Of Multiple Solids?

Apr 18, 2013

I'm designing a part that in Autodesk Inventor 2013 that is constructed from several layers laminated together. I have 4 layers:

F (front)

M1 (middle, variation one)

M2 (middle, variation two)

B (back)

The final solid will lhave 17 layers laid out like this:

F | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 ... | B

I currently have a part file containing

F | M1 | M2

What's the best way to create this solid if I want to a) keep all instances of M1 and M2 in sync, and b) make it easy to work on all 4 layers. Do I have to export F, M1, M2, and B as individual parts and import them into an assembly or can I keep them in one part file? I really like the ability to be able to work on all the solids at the same time because they're visually dependant on each other.

AutoCad :: Convert Multiple Single Text Objects Into Multiple Mtext Objects

Jul 3, 2013

I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).

; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)

[Code]....

However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?

Photoshop :: CS6 Multiple Instances Of Preference File?

May 26, 2012

CS6 x64 (Windows 7 SP1) keeps loosing OpenCL, requiring I trash my preferences to gte it back. This evening it happened again. I was using Bridge 6, ACR 7.1 Beta and CS6 x64 version and it happened again. Trashed the preferences and even with mutilple reboots would not recognize OpenCL. So being the curious type I did a search for the Pref's file; and found two (2) instances of CS6 x64 preferences, One in the normal place....../Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 6/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings, then another instance in /Roaming/Adobe/ Adobe Photoshop CS5/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings. Trashed this one as well and OPen CL worked again.
 
Is this normal behavior to have duplicate Pref's for CS6 x64? Probably not, so what is going on? And can confirm that every now and then a duplicate will show up in the CS5 directory, not consistent, and have not yet found the trigger, but one is definitely there.
 
Apart from OpenCL not working when this happens, everything seems to work normally...

Photoshop :: How To Run Multiple Instances At Same Time On Windows 7

Alright. You may ask why do you need multiple ?
 
Assume that i have 10000 PSD files in 10 different folders . I have a script that just save as them as PNG. And these files are each 3000x3000 px. My computer has 8 cores and 1 Photoshop exe is only using 1 cpu core. Also i have SSD raid system it has 750 mb read write per second
 
So right now i am wasting my time with running only 1 Photoshop exe instead of at least 4.

Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 :: Create PNG File From Single Layer Of Multiple Layered File?

Apr 2, 2013

Our company does not have the funds to upgrade so we are stuck with CD12.  I am using using a windows 7 /64 bit machine.  I created this xml template for the writers to place place their graphics in our author software.

  I have 4 layers on my file  - grid.guide,desktop and template.  The template has the instructions and size dimensions.  I have them put all graphics on the high lited desktop layer then when this is complete turn off the template layer.  One can print this file with just the graphics showing with no problem.

However if I export this a PNG file both the template and desktop layers show up even though I turned off all layers.  I just want the desktop layer with the graphics to show up.  I have been using Adobe Illustrator for several years and this doesn't present a problem when saving the graphic as a PNG file.

3ds Max :: Running Multiple Instances Of 2013?

Apr 24, 2012

BackBurner stopped working for me when 3DS Max 2012 came out so my work around was simply opening multiple instances meaning I'd have one "Max" rendering a scene while I worked in another "Max" while at night, having 2-3 simultaneous instances of 2012 rendering out animations. This really came in handy for doing multiple projects at the same time between render scene passes.

I can run 3 stable 3DS Max 2012 on the same machine without a problem, I can even run 1 x 3DS Max 2013 and 3 instances of 2012 at the same time BUT I'm unable to run more than one instance of 2013... it boots-up 2013 but then just hangs and doesn't do anything. I tried using BackBurner but it doesn't work so basically, it seems like I'm stuck running only one instance of 2013 at a time.

Is there a setting somewhere I can enable multiple instances again? I did take a look at Deadline but they don't support 2013 yet.

Photoshop Elements :: Getting Separate Movable Text Elements In Single Layer?

Dec 20, 2013

Is there any way to have more than one text placement inside of a single layer, but be able to maintain and move each of those separately from the others?   From what I have seen, each new Text item gets its own new layer.   If I want to document an image with seven points of reference, it's absolutely crazy that I have to maintain seven layers, each with an integer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.   What would be much more maintainable is to create ONE layer and name it "MAP-NUMBERS" and then have seven integers placed into that one layer.   I would then want to be able to move - say - "2" around separately from "4".   Then making all of the numbers appear or disappear becomes as easy as hiding or showing one layer.
 
Is there a way to do this with any version of Photoshop?
