Illustrator :: Smooth Transition Of Stroke Width Along Line Segment While Preserving Original Width Outside

Mar 5, 2014

Trying to use the width tool, I ran into the following problem. I would like to have a smooth transition of the stroke width between two width points while keeping the original stroke width unchanged outside of that line segment.
 
There are four width points here: two end points and two in between. The original stroke width is 200. The two on the left have one side set to 100 while the two on the right have one side set to 50. I would like to eliminate the distortion of the line width occuring in the first and third line segments. The only solution that I have come up with so far is to place two additional width points very close to the two middle width points: one with a 100-unit side to the left of the second point in the picture and one with a 50-unit side to the right of the third point in the picture. Yet there will be a small distirtion in between.

Illustrator :: Disabled Variable Width Profile

Nov 29, 2012

I have a pre-existing graphic uses a stroke with variable with profile (I think) or a special brush to make it look like it's hand drawn.  I'd like to apply the same effect to a few new illustrations to keep the style consistent.  For whatever reason when I ungroup the graphic and select one of the paths, the stroke weight and variable width profile remain disabled (see pasted toolbar graphic below).  The brush still says "Basic" despite the fact that visually it is certainly not the basic brush.

Selected Path

Toolbar (I realize that it says Group instead of Path, but even if I ungroup again and select the path the same options are disabled).

Illustrator :: Blend Variable Width Strokes?

Sep 7, 2013

I use Illustrator CS5 and can not blend variable width strokes in Illustrator. I can not do that even with the same width profiles unless they are expanded. I could not find any questions similar on the net regarding this, but wanted to double check before I just made the necessary changes. I'm a bit confused because Adobe 'help' shows how powerful the blends of objects are, but we can't do them as strokes?
 
I want to keep the blend as strokes not expand them. What is the best way to view how the blend will look with variable widths without expanding and then 'undoing' a bunch of times.
 
but is there a hot key for expanding the blend without going into object-blend-expand?

Illustrator :: How To Delete Variable Width Points

Mar 1, 2013

I've read a couple of methods for deleting variable-width tool points on a path (NOT path points or paths.)
 
None of them work for me; is there some trick to doing it?
 
I have read: A) Hover over the unwanted point (with var. width tool) and hit Delete and B)Select unwanted point with var width tool and hit delete.
 
Both moves result in the entire path being deleted.

Illustrator Scripting :: Variable Width Tool (JavaScript)

Feb 6, 2013

I am looking for any info on scripting the Variable width tool (Javascript).
 
Background: By adding a gradient to a variable width strock you can create nice 3D looking  Shapes (see example)

this is a straight vertical line with varied widths, then hit with a gradient.
 
Goal: My hope is to write a script that will take a "Profile" or "Shape" and convert it to a Variable width line. (see Example)

The Black line is to have its widths modified
The Red line is how wide the line needs to be.

Illustrator :: Brush Keep Resetting To Calligraphic When Trying To Use Variable Width Profile?

Oct 7, 2012

I'm working on a reflective drawing and using gradients on strokes.  I've been using pressure sensitive calligraphic brushes I made.  Now I'm trying to use variable width preset profile brushes.  It works fine for the first stroke, but every time I make a new stroke, it reverts back to a calligraphic pressure brush.  How can I keep my brushes the same profile until I manually select it to be different? I've gone back and forth between the brush tool and pencil tool and neither will keep any basic variable width profile past the first stroke. I have to select every brush stroke and change it again and again after drawing it.

Illustrator :: Variable Width Profile For Brush Tool Keeps Resetting?

Jan 12, 2013

I’m using Adobe Illustrator CS6 with a mouse rather than a pressure graphics tablet.
 
When I create a stroke using the Paint brush tool I would like the stroke to contain a variable width profile. For example narrower at the beginning and end of the stroke but thicker in the middle. Now I can do this by selecting the line after I have made the stroke and choosing the Basic Brush Definition from the drop down list.  But if i try to draw a new line the settings are reset again.  I cannot create a variable stroke while creating the stroke. The brush definition keeps resetting to 5 pt Round and stroke width 1 pt. It would be much quicker if the stroke remained as a varying width profile as I created the strokes.
 
I noticed the same problem with the blob brush tool except it's even worse. With the blob brush tool the stroke weight always resets regardless of whether or not I try to set a Variable width profile.

I tried deselecting "New Art has Basic Appearance" mentioned on another forum but that didn't work.

[URL]

Notice the variable width profile is maintained as the artists draws. It doesn’t keep resetting.

AutoCAD LT :: System Variable To Maintain Polyline Width When Joining Non-polylines?

Nov 17, 2013

Existing polyline set to a width of 6. Want to fillet this to a non-polyline with a width of zero.

Currently the two lines will join to create a connected polyline but the original widths are maintained (6 and 0).

I am looking for the system variable where the non-polyline becomes joined and the global width for the new segment matches the first polyline.

Illustrator :: Adjust Starting Point Anchor Of A Variable Width Profile?

Mar 19, 2013

I want it to be a variable stroke, so I loaded up “Width Profile 2” in the profiles. The trouble I am having, is that Illustrator defaults to start the larger dots in the bottom right hand corner, and I would like the “starting point” to be in the middle of the line if you know what I mean. I'm still happy for the dots to start big, then gradually decrease in size, but I want to control where the “beginning” is.

Illustrator :: Jagged Curves Created With Variable Stroke Width Tool?

Jul 24, 2013

In Illustrator CS6 and CC, when the stroke width tool is used on a curve, the curve is actually made up of a series of straight lines instead of smooth vector curves:

whereas in CS5 it looks perfect.These images may be too small to see the details, but the difference is there. Is there a workaround for this? Or is it recognized as a bug?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Line With Thicker Appearance Than Typical Line Of Width 0

Mar 26, 2009

I am looking to draw my pipe with a thicker appearance than the typical line of width "0". Our storm pipes are usually drawn with this so as to stand out from other utilities. If the pipe is represented by a polyline, I have usually adjusted the "Width" or "Global Width" value to my liking. With pipe objects, it seems more complicated. I have searched the settings, and the closest thing that I could find was the Lineweight property, but that appears to have no effect on the line thickness in the CAD drawing.

Do I need to tweak a plot setting? Make a new linetype altogether?

Photoshop :: Control Width Of Bezier Line

Apr 11, 2013

Using [PS6], how can I make the line left by the pen tool heavier?
 
I've been pounding away with google and PS6 manual... but must be using off the wall search stings or something because I'm getting piles of info about bezier curves and using the pen tool but no mentions of making the damn line at least visible.
 
Even on High desktop sizes that darn line, if anywhere near any other border or line, is nearly invisible.
 
I'd like a line several pixels wide... but not seeing how that is done.

Illustrator :: How To Create Diagonal Variable Line Pattern In CS6

Sep 18, 2013

I'm on the brink of insanity with creating my diagonal line pattern. I've tried everything I can think of but the pattern is an absolute mess! I want to create a diagonal line pattern but I want the lines not to be uniform. Basically I've made a group of 3 lines and then one separate line on its own, then to repeat this as the picture below. I've used the distribute function so the distances between the lines is identical everywhere. I've then rotated the whole thing exactly 45 degrees and aligned the lines to fit the bounding box in the "make pattern" mode as shown. Yet the resulting pattern is just a mess of overlap ugliness. All I want is for the pattern to literally look as it does in the image on the left, how to sucessfully do this in CS6?

Photoshop :: Adding A Fixed Width Paint Line To A Shape

Apr 21, 2009

I have some irregular shapes pure black on white background. I want to be able to make an outline with a fixed pixel size- quite small - less than 20 pixels around the inside edge as though I had taken a brush and carefully run it around the edge- it need to be more precise that what I can do by hand

I'm not suer yet whether the inside of the line should b hard or soft edge when it touches the colour, the outside edge can overlap the shape as it will be masked out- to leave a hard outside edge

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Pass Command Line Variable

Mar 21, 2012

I have this small lisp routine:

(defun c:1p nil
(command "_.-plot" "yes" "" "controls 11x17" "Ledger (11 x 17)" "inches" "LANDSCAPE" "NO" "view" "01" "FIT" "CENTER" "YES" "newpap2.ctb" "YES" "As" "NO" "NO" "yes" )
(princ)
)

I want to use it to plot different views which I will append to the command when it is called from within AutoCAD.This code will, of course, print view one.Currently my worst case is 25 views and, for that situation, I have simply repeated this code 25 times with a different function name an view number for each view. Eventually I would like to make a dialog box that would allow me to select with checkboxes (toggles) the views to print and with a button to print all.

For example, if I wanted to plot view 25, after I had loaded this lisp routine I would enter, on the command line in AutoCAD, the function name ("pp" perhaps?) followed by some variable (in this case 25, but could be any view name. ie. 01, elev, detail) and the view name would be inserted at the appropriate place.

GIMP :: How To Make Curves Spline Get Variable Instead Of Number

May 9, 2012

I've been trying to make gimp-curves-spline get variable (which is number)instead of number and I get error.

For example -when I do:
*(gimp-curves-spline drawable 0 6 #(0 0 0 15 255 255))*

everything works well as it should be.

but if I do:*(define spoint 15)*
*(gimp-curves-spline drawable 0 6 #(0 0 0 spoint 255 255))*

I get an error: *Error: Item 4 in vector is not a number (argument 4 forfunction gimp-curves-spline) #( 0 0 0 spoint 255 255 )*As you can see, all I did was replacing the number 15 with a variable(which is a number) I also check it is a number by the *number?* type predicate

Paint.NET :: Create A Line With Different Width

May 9, 2011

I would be possible to create a plugin that could create a line with different width. Photoshops pen tool where you can fill stroke, and simulate pressure.

It would not have to be an advanced plugin, it would only require 2 features:

1. Max width (the maximum width in the middle of the line)
2. And of course would let you decide where the line should be.

So the plugin should create something like this:

Illustrator :: Default Line Width

Jun 6, 2013

I've got CS6 (Using the Cloud so most up to date version).I want to draw a line segment. I select .5pt for the stroke width. I draw the line whilst holding down Shift so it's straight. It defaults to 1pt width. I select it and try to change the width using both the appearances panel and the tool bar. It automatically defaults back.
 
I draw the line on an angle and it remains at .5pt. But I don't want an angled line. I want a straight line. I draw it with the pen tool and it defaults to 1pt.
