i have to cut out this girl in this image (clean edges) and be able to save her as just an image alone to use in a invitation i am creating in photoshop for a local charity group....
can anyone advise or help me out with my dilema?
i am trying to find out how to use autocad to nest objects for cutting on a cnc machine. it would require a lengthy discussion and i dont know if this is a appropriate forum for it.

when i select application launcher and choose cut / plot, it opens cutting master. when i do this, it only shows the 2 outer lines of the logo i need to cut. I have attached a screenshot so you can see exactly what I mean. I have tried lots of things to recitfy this, but as a complete beginner with this software, I really dont have a clue.Â
Is there a way to cut a solid into two pieces using a non-planar cutting plane? I have been tasked with calculating the volume of concrete damage in a chute block. I have a sketch of the damage on the chute block. I created the chute block as a solid and then drew the damaged area extents using plines. This created non-planar plines. Is there a way to get this to work that will allow me to see the volume of the concrete damage? I need an easy way to do this, there are 50 chute blocks all the same size but with varying degrees of damage

I have a Photoshop file made up of Vector Smart Objects. How can I get a single vector file from this? I eventually need an SVG file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find out if it is possible to link Smart objects to a psd file, mush as InDesign does with images. When they are edited they update automatically. If say a mock-up of a shop sign is created with the sign being placed from an original saved piece of artwork and changes are made to that artwork file and then saved over the previous, can the file update on the psd mock-up automatically as it would in Indesign?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm laying out some big panels containing smaller images, so I am adding these using 'File>Place'. However, while the empty panel takes up about 70 MB, placing 3MB worth of smaller images makes the file size explode to a whopping 150MB, making it impossible to fill up the entire board. So far, I've seen file sizes of 500 MB, with Photoshop eating up 50GB swap files. what is going on here?

PSB files are stored (in the Windows OS) in the User's Temp folder. My Temp folder has a dozen or so PSB files with various dates. Is there a reason they don't go away when a PSD file is saved? Vestiges of PS crashes? Same questions for Smart Object PSB files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedBut when using a nested smart object (meaning a smart object within a smart object) Photoshop CS5 doesn't display the correct file size (at bottom left) or seem to account for the nested smart object file size. Is there a "setting" I’m missing to accurately display what the true file size is?
Â
The Problem: Using multiple nested smart objects that I have reduced the size of my image to be 260x200 for web export. Photoshop CS5 won't let me save a file that appears to be only 3mbs claiming it's over 2 gig's. See image below.
Â
Really not sure what to do about this, the company I work for makes lots of changes so using smart objects is necessary for my work flow. But also seems to be slowing me down trying to figure out issues like this and is problematic when it comes to saving all the work I have been doing.
I am using ACAD 2005 and am trying to copy&paste several objects from a layer I created in one .dxf file to one of the 2 standard layers (0 or Defpoints) in a new blank .dxf file.
My problem though is that if I copy and paste all of the objects (or even one of them) and them move to the new file and paste, it pastes the objects, but also "imports" into the new file the original file's layer that these objects were on.
For clarity, the new file only has the 2 standard layers and then after copy/pasting an object, the file manager shows the 3rd layer from the original file.
If I'm merging objects together into one Max file, how do I retain the material assignments/designations for the objects that I am bringing into the scene?
I thought they would automatically get imported as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is somewhat big deal for me because I'm working with one model which is dozens and dozens of planes that are overlapping to produce the effect of a large bush. I'm using three different but fundamentally similar material patterns so I can't just drop the material onto the set as I'd have to manually assign each of the three materials to their respective planes...however that's pretty much impossible because like I said, I have dozens, possibly close to 100 planes that are overlapping and interwoven to create the illusion of a bush.
Without the materials, the model just looks like a pile of planes, with the materials and the alpha channel settings, it looks like a bush...
Again, basically, I'm trying to figure out how to merge a set of objects into a Max file, and retain the material assignments as they were in the objects original file.
When I go to render, I can force Max to locate the texture files by manually designating a new path, however, I would like to be able to see the textures in the view port as it's hard to get a sense of what I'm looking at as I start to add more and more objects (and half of them are plane based, alpha channel foliage- so without the textures, all I see in the viewport is a bunch of planes and that is really not useful when I'm trying to compose a scene).
I built a building in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and inserted the file into 3DSMax 2013 via the file link manager. I would like to group certain AEC objects from my DWG file in 3DSMax so that I can assign materials, move them around without losing placement, but the "Group" and "Assemble" drop-downs are disabled. Why am I not able to group these objects?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to paste objects from one file into another file. Specifically, I'm copying the outline of a house plan and trying to paste it on top of a lot drawing. I'm doing both in model space but the house is significantly larger when I paste it on to the second drawing (the lot drawing). I'm doing it all in model space which should be 1:1, right?
The lot file is drawn with decimal dims and the house is drawn with architectural dims (but I don't think it matters). how to paste from one drawing to another without it altering the scale?
Incidently, I'm trying to make a library of these house shells so that I can just place the shell in the (various) lot files to see if they fit.
Autocad 2008
I am attempting to use VBA in Acad 2007 to renumber a series of text objects based on their relative positions. (The text is numerals only.)  The programs works well at first, but if I erase some of the text objects, it crashes. I noticed that if I start with 20 text objects in the drawing, and then erase 1, AutoCad reports 19 objects selected while ssetObj.Count is still equal to 20. Apparently the erased objects are still being returned by ssetObj.SelectOnScreen. To make sure I ran the example from a new drawing with only the text objects.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a max file that have objects with vray materials. I do not have vray in my computer because I use mental ray to render. Problem is, 3Ds Max seems to lag and freeze. So when i installed a trial version of VRay, the file worked just fine and there is no viewport lag. But when the trial is over, my viewports started lagging again. The whole PC lags and it seems as if 3ds max is using the pc at 100%. I practically can't work on the file. I don't want to have to purchase vray only for the purpose ot making the file work.
Is this an issue to be fixed by Autodesk or Chaos Group?
I work on DWG importer and every now and then I come across some files which behave strange. To take as an example, I am working on a file reported to be having unwanted entities when loaded through our importer. This file when loaded in AutoCAD shows proxy entity and nothing else. When I do "zoom to extents" and select the visible entities by selection window, it shows
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 5767 found, 1988 groups
Now if I do the selection and say "select: all" instead of using selection window it shows:
Select objects: all
5805 found
9 were on a locked layer.
2 were not in current space.
So apparently there are 38 (5805 - 5767) objects which are either invisible or ignored by AutoCAD when I do "zoom to extents".
1. Is there any way in AutoCAD to make all the objects visible?
2. Why "Zoom to Extents" must be ignoring these objects?
3. What is the meaning of "2 were not in current space."? Does that mean, that the drawing file is simultaneously referring to two Coordinate Systems?
I worked on a design saving it about every 10 minites and also saving a copy every hour. Later, when I try to open any of the copies of this file, Illustrator gives me this error:
the file opens but most of the objects are gone. I managed to open the file with Adobe Accrobat and saved it as eps then open it in Illustrator but the paths are mess and all effects converted to embeded images.I also placed the file but if I try to edit the link it gives me the same error and when I embedded the link it was a little bit better but similar mess like the eps saved from Acrobat..I'm using Illustrator CS5 Design file Windows 7.
I made a design last night that included me cutting out a model from one of my photoshoots, so I did that... and then after all was said and done, I'm thinking she looks a little choppy and "dropped" into the photo. is there some way to make her look a little more smooth?
I got most of the edges cleaned up and used a feather, and even burned around the edges a tad to make it blend but it still looks very cut out.
In the past I created a picture with multiple objects (rectangles, colors, text labels, lines,...). As far as I remember I saved it with PSP vX2 into a *.psd file. This kind of file stores not only the final picture but the intermediate manipulation steps/layers as well.
Ok, now, some months later, I want to resume the picture design process.Therefore I started PSP vX2 and load the mentioned *.psd file. Much to my surprise I found no way to e.g. select a certain text line shown at the bottom of the picture and to edit it (again).
How does this work? Do I have to tell PS somehow "re-tokenize all layers" ?
Maybe (I am not sure) the *.psd file was saved by Photoshop and not by PSP. Does this matter? Are *.psd files compatible between Photoshop and PSP? Can I find out the previously saving program? I can imagine that this is somehow stored in the header of the *.psd file.
I do my 3D modeling by use of simple cylinders,boxes and everything looks fine. but when I re-open the file just minutes later lots of objects has moved. See attachment. The attached picture shows a highlighted cylinder that is BOTH highlighted inside the module (where it is supposed to be) and on the outside where it has moved.
This happens all the time and I have to move the objects back in position. The distance the objects are moved is random. I use 'acadiso3D' template for these models
I've been working on 3D models and noticed when i take a circle and extrude it along a path (usually a spline) it adds a lot to a file size. The objects are used as electrical conductors on power poles. After a few city blocks of this the model file size becomes basically unusable.
So my question is why does extruding a circle along a curved path increase the file size so drastically and is there another alternative to keep the file size down?
i dont know what i am doing wrong working on 3D..There are not too many objects. One layer only. i have some blocks and for combining some objects i used union..i applied different materials, Sun properties etc it doesn't take time to render but to edit or even a single click on objects make them very slow..i saw the file size, it was 550MB..i purged them and used overkill command so it reduced to 450MB now..

Last moment, the client like the reverse the colors from (current) Black on white, to all White on dark gray background.
Â
Problem is, I can't seem to find easy way to just change the colors, without selecting one by one, every single object. When I selest all and choose white, it start filling paths with solid fill... Editing it wastes allot of my time and I have many pages to do.
Â
Is there any way to simple change color of everything at once, just from black to white ? Or do I have to go object by object manually ?
Everytime I set the fill/stroke color of objects in a file to 75, 68,67, 90 it resets it to 0, 0, 0, 100. It isn't consistent though... some objects accept the color.

I have read somewhere that i should use the regular lasso to cut images, but that is a a lot of work if i have an big image.
So i was thinking if someone have any tip or in another way , maybe someone wanna cut the image out for me i am a bit shaky on my hand when i use the lasso-tool so its hard to get it good even if i zoom, and besides that ,is the cut-job ,well its important,
but its a thing that i wanna get over as soon as possible so i can start being creative ill post the image i will work with (its only the shape i want) it will be bigger in reality but i had to take a smaller pic of it to get it posted :
