We have a very old AutoCAD program that works great for us. We have new designs that are coming in but not in the old format of LEGACY. Even the .AI format is not usable. Without the Legacy format our CAD designer has to do his best to match up the work but it does not come out the same.
How can we take the PSD files (usually created in CS2 or CS3) and convert them to Legacy/Illustrator format?
how can i save a ph file with a lower version... i have photoshop 8 and i need to save this file in a photoshop 7 or lower version and i dont know how to do it... somebody told me about saving it as a "legacy format" now...

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's a small issue, but one that was a no brainer in CS5 - I use Legacy Brightness Contrast about 80 times a day, and CS6 no longer keeps it ticked, I have to manually enable it every single time, and by about the 57th time of having to do this every day, it becomes a more than a little irritating. As some of you will remember, CS5 just kept it ticked once you selected it.

The new brightness / contrast is great for certain tasks, not so great for others. I, and I'm sure many others rely on the legacy version.
In Photoshop CS3 is there a way to save a file so it's compatible with CS2? I'm working on a file in CS3 and when the file is opened in CS2 there are "layer is corrupt" errors.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy co-worker had a dialog box show up that said something about Size Limits for Legacy Drawings. It had two options. The top one said something about when zoomed out you won't see details but once zoomed in you will see them. The bottom option was someting about showing full detail at all zoom levels.Â
She chose the top one, but now she wants to choose the other. I can't seem to find a variable or even a mention of this dialog box anywhere. How I can switch from one to the other? Or how I can get the dialog box to pop up again?
I don't have the exactly language, so that is way I have been so vague.

Using CC for a few weeks and I am not yet convinced of its quality over my faithful CS5. I have an issue with files not opening, they may once when I start Illustrator, but then they do not again. Illustrator doesn't freeze, it allows me to carry on with the file I am working on but I can not open any legacy file?. I have tried opening by double click, by file>open, I have opened a legacy file back in CS5 copied the graphics and attempted to paste them into my CC document and nothing, the only way I can get around this is to shut the program and or machine down and start again?
Â
Also the same with fonts, if I have a file open, and open fonts afterwards, Illustrator has a mind of its own whether it wants to show the fonts or not. Some days its happy to, others it has a bad day and will not show them in the list at all no matter how many times I reload them, only a shut down fixes this?
Â
Is there a preference I am missing to allow legacy files?

is there a list of CS6 effects that get rasterized when saving to older versions of illustrator. specifically CS6 to CS4
Â
I noticed drop shadow and outer glow get expanded, but not inner glow. also if I make the outerglow effect in cs4, open it in cs6, use it as a style, it stays live. once if I edit it, it gets rasterized. is this normal behavior? if so, is there documentation as to what effects are backward compatible?
For over 15 years I've been using a cataloging system written in VB6, as the writing is well and truly on the wall for VB6 I'm considereing moving to LR, but it's not clear if I can import all the existing data.
Â
The data is not embedded in the images for the most part because we are talking old 5x4 neg scans etc.
Â
I have access to the source code of my existing program and can therefore export the database fields in any format, CSV being the most obvious choice but I suppose I can write the code to export to anything.
Â
So my question is, is there a mechanism to import such data, either when the photos are originally imported or assign the data to them post-import. And please don't suggest cut & paste, there's 20,000 pics

View 10 Replies View RelatedWe use Inventor 2012 and will most likely upgrade to 2013 between Christmas and New Year's, when our company traditionally shuts down for a week. I recently had occasion to edit an iPart for a hex head machine screw, originally modeled some years ago by someone who's no longer with the company, to add some sizes. As you'll see, the member names are Hex Head Machine Screws-001.ipt, Hex Head Machine Screws-002.ipt, etc. Why does the table go from Hex Head Machine Screws-002 to Hex Head Machine Screws-290, you ask? I'll get to that in a minute.
This iPart was modeled several Inventor versions ago, when the operator had no control over the iPart factory member names. When Inventor did start offering this control, I jumped right on it. In any iParts I modeled from there on out, I used the capabilities of MS-Excel to create abbreviated part descriptions for the iPart factory member names.
Last week I needed to go into this part and add some sizes. If I added the new sizes in sequence by thread size and screw length, they were going to slot in between the existing Hex Head Machine Screws-002 and Hex Head Machine Screws-003. The next unused number was 290, so I made the new factory members Hex Head Machine Screws-290 thru -296, as per the attached screen grab. Naturally the suffixes on the factory member names are out of sequence, and it isn’t very elegant.
As I see it, the other alternatives would have been:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Put the new sizes at the end of the list (worse, IMO).
2)     Put the new sizes in sequence and renumber the factory members so they were sequential down the line. If I’d done this, then every factory member (say, Hex Head Machine Screws-011) after the newly added ones would have stood for a different size HHMS than it did before, which would have been really bad.
3)Â Â Â Â Â Rework the table so the existing names with numerical suffixes went away and were replaced by mnemonic names, as on my more recently modeled iParts. This would have resulted in assemblies looking for factory members under names that no longer existed, but it would have been possible to substitute the screws under their new names. I should mention that we are using the Vault, which makes matters easier.
I would have liked to take approach (3), but I was under some time pressure to finish an assembly using these fasteners.
I have hundreds of files that I need to back save from CS6 to CS5 using the Batch process in the Actions palette. Previous attempts using Actions have resulted in the file not being backsaved, but instead just being saved again in CS6 format.how to back save to CS5 in batch processing?

I am having difficulty with the display of my point numbers and description when plotting. I am doing piping desing and utilizing Civil 3D points for the coardinates and elevations to display in a point table. For my viewport, in the properties dialogue box, under the Shade Plot option, I have selected Legacy Hidden due to needing my pipes to display properly only to have my points not display properly. If I opt for Legacy Wireframe or As Displayed, my points display correctly but my pipes do not. Any clue as to how I can have both display properly?

We have a computer that using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and Acrobat 9 Standard. When printing a large sheet (30"x42") with images in it to a PDF the images do not appear in the newly created PDF. However, if the same file is printed to fit an 11x17 the images display correctly. Any thoughts as to why the large sheet size is not printing properly?Â
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 2008, never had this issue.Just dumb, circles, and lines in a view port, that have hidden or center linetyoes assigned to them. When we go to plot using legacy hidden (this new for 2012?) the plot comes out with continuous lines. These are not solids. Just ordinary line entities.Now, when I change the shadeplot to "hidden" the linetype is shown correctly, but now my entities are coloured, when I just want my drawing to be black and white (going to PDF), even though all of the colours in the pen style are set to "Black".
Has this changed? Is there a new variable introduced?
Edited slightly a picture from the camera and saved it in PSD format.
Then went into that PSD version and found out that the patch tool would not work on that format.
Saved from that PSD into JPEG and on the JPEG version, the patch tool does work.
It's strange if that's so, since it is in the documentaion that the PSD format is the only one that supports all PhotoShop features (the best format to work with).
I have a file that I created in Adobe Illustrator that is in EPS format. For some reason, when I open the file in Photoshop, the colors are incorrect.

Is there an threshold in terms of size that limits the output file type? Any way forward so I can save as a JPG or PNG ?
