Xara :: How To Avoid Thin Lines Between Parallel Paths

Jan 16, 2014

When you create shapes that fits together, there appeares a thin line that also shows when you make a jpeg from it. I'm a vector contributor at iStock and making a preview jpg with all those white lines looks really ugly (see attachment).

Here is a simple solution. Copy your shapes on top of each other and the lines are gone. This way your work stays 100% vector. For work that hasn't to be 100% vector, you could make a bitmap copy and place it under your vector image.

Xara :: Create A Copy Of Image With Ultra Thin Black Lines / No Fill

Mar 22, 2013

Executive summary of need: turn a color, line-and-fill Xara image into a very thin black line, no fills, no other colors.

I'm reproducing a 1930s - 1940s decal from a toy crib that we're restoring and repainting. The original decal on the headboard is deteriorated and flaking off, so I decided to reproduce it on clear inkjet waterslide decal paper. (White paper wouldn't work because of the open area between background ovals and the figure itself; here's the reproduced decal image - imagine everything not in color to be a clear area: )

However, since inkjet printing doesn't include opaque white, I need to manually paint white on the decal sheet behind the ovals and the figure to make the colors pop and to prevent the pink-painted crib background from showing through. I'd like to take the Xara image, copy it, then turn the copy into a very light black or gray line with no fills. This becomes guidelines for hand-painting

I'll print the black line version first on the decal sheet, paint white on it, then print the color version over top.How do I transform a copy of the original into my guidelines?

Xara :: Joining 2 Lines Together And Retain Original Paths

Sep 6, 2011

I wanted to join 2 lines together (i.e. end up with a single line). I know that you can join lines by selecting both then using any of the shape / line / brush tools to drag one node from line A over to the a node on line B (you get a little + symbol next to the mouse cursor once the lines can join).

This is fine is you want the final line shape to differ from the original 2, but what if you want to join 2 lines and retain the original paths?

I can do it by postioning the target nodes on eash of the lines almost but not quite touching then using the above technique but its a bit awkward and I suspect this isn't the best way to go about it.

Illustrator :: Parallel Paths Which Look To Be Single A Path

Dec 11, 2013

I auto traced a piece of artwork (a large bunch of leaves) & the strokes are made up of 2 paths.

Is there a quick way to  reduce the paths to a single path
 
Or is it necessary to delete each leaf's secondary path manually  
 
Is there something I should be doing differently when auto tracing.

Oct 3, 2012

The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
 
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.

I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
 
1. General - only media size
2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
4. Graphic - none
5. Color Managment - none
6. Advanced - none
7. Summary - none

After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced. Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears..

Photoshop :: Turning Very Thin Lines Into Watercolor Strokes

Jan 25, 2012

My sister has some drawings that she want to scan and send to me. They use very thin pen ink. She then wants the pen strokes to be colorized and turned into water color strokes.As an experiment I tried using the "Artistic-Watercolor" filter on some thin lines and the results were lame.

All of the watercolor brushes I have seen online seem for comparatively wide stokes.Is there a filter or action that could turn very thin ink stokes into realistic looking watercolor strokes?

AutoCad :: Drawing Parallel Lines

Jul 11, 2013

I'm trying to draw a line that is parallel to the one I've already drawn. It works fine (Osnap on) when I draw a whole new line and then draw a parallel line. But when I try to add a parallel extension to an old line, it doesn't work. The old line is located in another layer, but I tried to copy it to the same layer and it still doesn't work.

Illustrator :: How To Avoid Lines Left Behind After Effects Have Been Flattened In CS6

Jun 18, 2012

We work in a packaging environment using MAC OS 10.6.8 using Illustrator CS6.

In order to ouput Illustrator files correctly through a RIP, we expand all effects (shadow, glows, etc) before converting them to a Hi Resolution PDF to impose for output.

What we have started to see is lines starting to show up on the PDFs (and the Printing Plates too) where the bounding box of the effect used to be. We have seen lines show up in earler versions of Illustrator but not to the number or thickness they seem to be in CS6.
 
Is there any way to avoid these lines from showing up (and being printed)?

3ds Max Modeling :: Divide Surface In Parallel Lines

Jan 11, 2011

Is there a way/plugin that divides some shape in parallel lines?

Something like doing:

slice with slice plane along ex. "X" axis every 20cm

of course my shapes not aligned in any axis. Making working pivot for each shape and then making a hundred slices would be a massacre.

AutoCad :: Drawing A Line Central To Two Parallel Lines?

Dec 14, 2011

if I have two lines which run roughly paralel, but sometimes vary in the distance between them, is there a quick method of having CAD draw a line which is central to the two?

Basically, like an offset, but it would need to offset the line at a distance that is central to the two lines, as and where it varies. IE, you couldnt choose 'offset' and then choose 'mid between two points' because the distance between the lines varies at points..

AutoCad :: Angle To Put A Line Of Specific Length Between Parallel Lines

Jun 23, 2012

I am drawing a diagram to describe a mathematical word problem. Since it is easier to visualize with a drawing, I want to draw it using the given dimensions. But angles used in the diagram are unknown and are not needed for the answer to be calculated, so the only way to draw this freehand is to guess at the angle resulting in the correct distances to be off.

Here is the word problem: There are two ladders, one 40 feet and the other 30 feet, each touching the base of one of two buildings and leaning against the other building. If the ladders cross 10 feet above the ground, how far apart are the buildings?

So for my drawing, being rather simple considering what AutoCAD can do, results in this:

Can AutoCAD calculate the angle needed to place a line of a given length between two parallel lines that are a distance apart less than the length of the line to place between them, having the endpoints of this line touching the parallel lines, fitting exactly?

For the word problem, the distance between the two parallel lines is what needs to be solved and the math is quite invloved, having to find the roots or solution of a quartic equation. (I have the solution figured out to be 26.03287754 feet)

What I am afraid of is that this would require to program an AutoLISP routine to create a new command that one can call from the command line. I see it using the the measure command with relative and absolute co-ordinates. This may be far from a "beginner" question. I can do this quite easily on a peice of paper: having two parallel lines drawn, take a ruler and placing the "0" mark on one line, then adjusting the angle until the desired length just reaches the opposite parallel line. I used to use this trick quite often when drafting with pencil and paper to divide a distance into a required number of even amounts, so this can't be that difficult to do with AutoCAD!

AutoCad :: Build / Download Linetype That Can Display As Thick Dashed Line Surrounded By 2 Parallel Lines

Dec 4, 2009

Any way to build or download a linetype that can display as a thick dashed line surrounded by 2 parallel lines on either side of it?

We use them to denote underground stormwater pipes in our survey models.

Currently I need to manually set each line to a polyline, give it a global width, and then draw a DLINE of the same width from endpoint to endpoint. The down side is that not only is it laborious, I also have to set the Z values to zero, so we lose the elevation feature of the pipe in the model.

Ideally it would need to have enough functionality to alter the spacing of the dashes, and the width of the line.
