I have edited a map and a train image which is fine when applied and the preview works fine but as soon as I create the rendered video the path and the train image have moved to a position further down the map, how to see the path and train image in the right place.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way with JavaScript to place an image with a calculated path and file name? I have 30+ artboards per document, each artboard named by product number. The actual file name of the master AI file is also already established (meaning every document I use this new script on will have already been saved).
Â
Here's the scenario I'm hoping to create in the context of the documents mentioned above:
Run a script to "Place" a linked image based on the following calculated path:
Â
["S:SAPCurrent Images in SAPStock Schools"] + [current ai filename minus the .ai extension]+[a hyphen like this "-"]+[currently selected artboard name]+[".jpg"]
Â
This image link can be placed on a new top layer called "Images" or if necessary on the currently selected layer. Dimensions of the placed image should be a pre-determined size 8"x8".
Â
Error if the ai document has not been saved yet.
I'm trying to use the spline IK system to animate a linked 'train' on a path.
There are 4 segments which are joined with a universal coupling. I can only get one segment to actually follow the path, as the others don't follow at all. I've attached my example file.
I am trying to place my text along a path. I have followed the guides but gimp only places half the text along the path. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have selected the path, text is on dynamic. It's a curve path but the text only goes up one side and it it not the full text. I have change size of text font everything I can think off.

I attempted to place text on a path. I drew an oval, selected text on a path tool. The text start is at the very top and wraps around the path clockwise. I try to select the path 'handle' but I cannot.Â
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have imported a path of GPS points and have them mapped in autocad where I want them, what I now need to do is place a symbol (a circle with an M in the middle of it) over each dot. I have the symbol as a separate layer but know no easy way to add this symbol to each dot so that the dot is in the centre of the circle. I can simply copy and paste the symbol and drag manually to each dot but this will take forever as there is over a thousand dots and accuracy of the dot being centered would not be spot on.

This guardrail extension is an example of where I would have liked to change the work plane while sketching the path because the path shifted planes. I believe you can do this in the family editor, but I could not get it to work in the in-place modeler. What I ended up doing (as an experiment) was to create masses and picked their edges to get the path I wanted. I would love to be able to have more control over the work plane, like defining the workplane by a face and then being able to move it relative to the face selected.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to simulate the path of ropes through pulleys/sheaves etc. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg set up.Â
My workflow is the following:
Assemble and constrain geometry
Create plane in assembly than rope will run on.
Create in-place part (rope) with box ticked for "constrain to sketch plane" or the like, referencing above geometry.
Question 1: I see my in-place component is not constrained to referenced geometry, I can drag it around?
I then ground it or constrain to workpoints used as part of the original "project geometry".
I then alter the original geometry and...nothing!
Question 2: How do I get my rope to adapt?
Attached is a mock up - original contains assemblies within assemblies etc. The base has been altered after creating the in-place parts, and the rope has not followed suite.

I have an action in which it will place an image onto an image like a watermark, when i place the image, it is not center by center so i drag it or use keyboard arrows to center and then press enter, then i saw its on the center, but when i save it, the saved image is not on the center, how was that?
Â
you can see that the right side of border it is not centered because the left side border is thicker than right side, here is the part of the action
Â
you can see that i move the image after i place it because its not on the center so adjusting it makes it at the center but the Translate part is not equal.
I used to be able to do this but have forgotten how. I would like to remove the bg from a small image, ie make it's bg transparent, and place that small image on top of a large image, a banner. Not sure what I am doing wrong but when I place the small image on the large one the entire image is transparent, not just the bg.

I have a basic train that I am doing for a project at school. I am doing a fairly advanced extension of this project for some extra credit and I am wishing to make this train be animated.
Since my first name is Jackson, I decided early on to make a track design in the shape of a J (bubble letter). In my class, the only requirement was to make the train go in a straight line.
What I have now: I have two assemblies of both a train, and one of my track design. My thoughts on how to do this. I thought it would be possible to make the train follow a path or something to that effect.
how to change a train's livery (colour) to another colour that I created with a template livery I made in an external program, leaving in things like windows and reflections in there, but in the new colour.
The problems generally happen with vehicles with multiple colours As an example of what I mean, I'd like to change the colour of this [URL] into something like [URL] I've been looking at various tutorials about how to do this, including many youtube videos, which detail how to change the colours of cars, but they mainly involve anther way including the colorize, which would do the entire vehicle based on HUE, which in this case, wouldn't work due to the multiple colours / shade the original vehicle has, including text.
Other methods use hard light to project various external images onto the body, but this mainly has a large amount of colour fluctuation with the new paint. This method generally gives the best impact when the entire image is white, doesn't say much when I am trying to preserve things like reflections and shading.
I have been trying to make a train that i made roll on a track. I have seen youtube videos of people who have made their train go around a track (I have the same dimensions as the people in the video through project lead the way).
I have the train constrained to the track with a tangent constraint. How to make the wheels turn on the track (i know how to make the wheels turn, i just do not know how to make all the wheels turn in unison/together and how to make them actually move along the track instead of make the wheels turn in place.Â

I have tried in vain to construct a planetary gear train in Inventor 2011 & the spur gear generator hasn't work much since the results are far from good, I have problems getting all the gears to fit together. The Internal gear has a diametrical pitch of d=120mm & the smallest gear a diametrical pitch of d=20mm, the outcome should produce a 6:1 gear ratio. The 3 other gears only offer stabillity, but I still need to know how I get it all to fit together with my measurements?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHave been out on the transit job for over a year and finally got time to convert the old primitive track line type to actual rails, ties, and clamps. But this has also added a lot of items to the base file. I opted to use it as an xref instead to improve data speed, but lately it has been taking 2+ minutes to load the file referencing the tracks as an xref.
how to make the tracks more efficient?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rotate a set of wheels that are moving like a locomotive train wheel and having problems. I was able to animate the wheels to move like a locomotive wheel by linking and turning off the z axis inherit for the red rod (see attached images. Image ex04.jpg.)
The problem came when it was time to rotate the whole thing. I grouped everything and rotated the wheels around as a group. As the red rod had is z axis inherit turned off once it started to detach from it location(ex06.jpg), which was kind of expected.
I am not sure what to do to solve this problem. Do i create a bone structure with IK handles to resolve this problem or is there something else better to solve this problem?
I have a video clip of a train moving across the tracks. The camera also pans to follow the path of the train. I want text to sit on the top of the first car of the train as its travels from left to right.
Â
I used Track Camera and then parented text to the Null object.Â
Â
The problem is that the text has to adjust in size and perspective as the train moves along.    Â
I have tried keyframing these options but the result appears jittery and jumpy as if the text is dancing on top of the train.    Â
The text should be the exact width of the first train. Â
Tiny in the distance and then large as it approaches cameras. Â
Â
Also, there appears to be a bug with the text object not displaying the font correctly.  I have tried many fonts and each appears inconsistent. I have attached a screen grab.Â
Â
The red text is how the characters should appear given my font choice. The red is NOT tied to the null object; its just a text layer.    The black font is tied to the null object. You can obserce that certain characters are bold and others not. Overall this looks nothing like the font is supposed to appear.
Please note that both titles are the same font. password for the vimeo clip is :Â train-tracker
what i want to do is to draw a line that represents a train trace over the ground. I started using the camera tracker and creating a null and a camera and then got lost.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've taken a photo of a monitor. The monitor is OFF so the screen is black. I want to superimpose another image onto the blacked-out screen, so it looks like the monitor is on and displaying a live image.
Â
Apart from the overlay operation, it's complicated by the fact that the image of the monitor is slightly distorted by perspective, while the inserted image is square.
Â
So I guess this means that I need to perspective-isedistort the second image to match the available space on the monitor image.
Â
I'm not unfamiliar with simple PS operations, but this project is a little outside my range of expertise.Â
Â
However, I assume that the first step will be to get both images to the same density. The monitor pic is currently at 180 pixelsinch while the pic to be overlaid is 95.987 pixelsinch.
this is not difficult, but I'm not sure how to make this correctly: want just place my text over an image(jpeg format). I've confused with layers and foreground. PS7.0
