Is there a fundamental difference between a clone of an object and it's duplicate?
Like does one maintain some more attributes than the other, if it is the same why then two different names for the same thing?
One more question,
I see my name and in blue besides it (no PMs) what does that mean?
Is it possible to clone a 'master' object so that when it is altered all the clones are similarly updated? (or, rather than a master object, they all update whenever any of the others are changed?)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know what are all the duplicate options we have in Xara 6 since I don't see any duplicate windows?
1. I can right click and drag (But not exact when I want to leave margins between several objects.)
2.Ctrl + k (makes a duplicate object over its self.)
3.Ctrl + alt + d (Makes a copy of the object in a diagonal direction.)
...what I need is something like illustrator were I can copy an obect once and the next copy object I copy using ctrl d is copied in the same direction and spacing as the previous one. (I hope I'm being clear.) How do I do this in Xara? I've been using this software since a few days ago and I already feel very comfortable using it.
In PSE11 the clone tool with the aligned option creates a duplicate of the whole image instead of just the brush area.

under Photo Clone Tool, there are a few comments, which I'm not sure if they're conflicting or I'm not reading them correctly, but I cannot seem to be able to change the clone shape...:
"After you've drawn your freehand clone shape, you can adjust the smoothness of the line. This is exactly equivalent to the Freehand tool smoothness control. This is only active immediately after you've drawn the clone shape. If you edit the clone outline using the other tools such as the Shape Editor, this control become disabled."
and
"Clone shapes are normal vector editable shapes, and once selected you can switch into any of the normal line or shape editing tool to make further adjustments of the outline."
and
"A photo with clone edits, is stored as a new 'Photo Group' structure. This acts like a normal photo for many purposes (you can resize it, rotate it, enhance it etc, and it will act as a single photo object). But using 'select inside' (Ctrl+click) or using the Page & Layer Gallery to view the group structure, you can select and edit the individual clone objects within the Photo Group."
I am using Xara Xtreme 5.1. I am trying to add a new page to my file. Its the first time I have attempt to create a new page. At each attempt it duplicates the 1st page and all its layers. I have unchecked the boxes in the Page Options: Page Size: Document: "All pages in the document the same" and "same layers on all pages in document " and pressed "Apply" . I have tried afresh we a brand new file and yet cannot prevent the duplications.

i7 2600 3.4ghz/16gb DDR3/GTX 560/2x DELL U2311H 23''
I have two open drawings, a source and a destination drawing in ACADI have different layers and linetypes in each drawingI need to get the objects on a specified layer in the source drawing and copy them to the destination drawing, but ensure that they are put on a specified layer in that drawing which differs in name from the original drawing.
I've tried coming at this a few different ways, but can't really seem to come a conclusion on how to do this. WBlockCloneObjects, of course, allows me to clone the items to the new drawing, but in doing so, drags along all the layers and linetypes with it which I don't want "contaminating" my new drawing. I'm trying to keep the conversion as clean as possible. I can't pre-change the layer name or linetype, etc as the destination for these values doesn't exist in the source drawing.
Is there a way to create a new entity (an anonymous one, independent of the source ObjectClass that I need so I don't have to create multiple routines to handle each one), not attached to a DB, copy the values from the source DB entity and then modify the layer, linetype, color etc before appending the entity to the destination database?
Here is my code for what I have, but since I don't really have a clue where to turn with this, all this really shows at the moment is a straight cloning of the objects from one DB to another. As a side note, I'm working in Civil 3D 2011 and when WBlockCloneObjects is called an "AutoCAD Map Messages" window appears with no messages in it.

Is there any way in photoshop or with a 3rd party plug-in to duplicate an object on a layer along a path so that it conforms to the orientation and possibly deforms accordingly? I'm working on a fish scale texture that has scales of varying size that flow in different directions depending on the location on the body. As of right now I've crudely grid warped a tiling fish scale matte I made to define how I want the scales to flow. I'm using this as a guide as I individually place each scale.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to add an object to a group?
As I remember somewhere read that there is some way of it without ungrouping, however now reading the Designer Pro help it seems that is needed
To add more objects to a group
Select the group.
Ungroup ("Ctrl + U")
Select the extra objects.
Group again ("Ctrl + G")
Basically this group is a repeating object on several pages so maybe would not touch that with ungrouping, but of course if there will be no other choice

How to add noise?
I looked up `noise' in help file and it mentions distortion filters but for some unimaginable reason... does not mention where they are.
Ok, looked up `distortion'... It tells about distortion filters but again... Showing an almost insane way to organize.... again it is not mentioned where they are.
how to add noise to an object? The help file has failed its most basic role... and has left it to my imagination as to where these filters may be.
Import a photo image which is, for example, 100px high by 500px long. Now apply a simple fade transparency from the left edge to 100% transparent 100px in from the left edge (i.e. 400px of the image's length is now 'invisible').
Export this as a png and then import this png. It will still be 100 x 500 - can you tell Xara export the image truncated down just the 'visible' portion (i.e. 100 x 100)?
How to make a Contour object transparent? In below example is set a 1 step contour on the star, setting transparency the yellow is transparent but the grey not.
Contour_Transp.xar
I am aware that the star could be turned to editable shape, after clone and subtract so the transparency could be controlled on both shapes, but is there maybe some other way?
Also could be a way of course to set outline for the star and not contour, but I do not like as in that case the line half inside and half outside of the shape.
Just a question about adding objects to an arc instead of a whole circle for example using a hearts brush. I draw a circle, convert it to a shape and then bisect it with a line that has also been converted to a shape then I slice and break shapes and now I have a perfect arc but when I go to my brushes and try to add my hearts brush to the arc it like doubles the hearts.
