Xara :: How To Import And Fill Text

Feb 13, 2013

I am wondering how, for example, I could fill the letters of text with a pattern or texture or image (...) I found on the internet (google images for instance). For example, I found a knit pattern I like and I want to fill the text words with that. How would I go about that?

In general, I am having some problems getting onto how to import various fonts, textures, etc.. that i find.. I've read the instructions and can't figure out where to place the folders, etc.. Any links to very detailed instructions would be great..

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Type In Mtext Boxes - UPPERCASE / Lowercase Buttons Make Text Disappear

Feb 16, 2012

Architecture 2009 running on Windows 7.  Dell Precision T5400 with a Quadro FX570 graphics card.

I have lately been having some issues with text in Architecture 2009. I first noticed that within Mtext, when you hit the "UPPERCASE" or "lowercase" buttons, the text disappears in the editor, and no changes are made.  Not the end of the world, but not handy.

Then it stopped letting me type in Mtext boxes at all. The return key seemed to work, but nothing else. Then it started converting text typed into Mtext boxes into (I think) Chinese characters. Really not handy. At this point I decided to try to reinstall. First I tried a repair, then reinstalled over the existing installation, then uninstalled completely and reinstalled from the disk.  I've also done a windows restore, though as this has slowly been falling apart, I'm not sure when I should restore back to.

I have Mtext basic functionality back, but the "UPPERCASE" and "lowercase" buttons still make the text disappear.

Not sure if it's related, but I also get a Fatal Error e06d7363h at 758bd36fh about 4 or 5 times a day.  Usually it's associated with the open command (ctrl+o), but sometimes it just happens at random.

Photoshop Elements :: Lock Text Boxes So That They Maintain Proportions Even When Entering Longer Text?

Mar 25, 2013

I am creating subway art and am creating various templates.  I would like it so that when I have a text box with a 5 letter word, and I want to enter a longer word, they all fit and just kind of smush together rather than me having to fix the text boxes constantly.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Text Boxes Instead Of Legible Text After Recovery?

InDesign :: RTF / Ungroup Imported Text Boxes From Parent Text Box

Apr 3, 2014

I have hundreds of diagrams in Microsoft word that need importing to Indesign. I have imported the illustration part of the diagrams via Illustrator but i now need to bring in the diagrams' text labelling.
 
The diagrams have a lot of text labels which each appear in their own text box, but if I save the .doc as an rtf and import it into InDesign, it imports all my individual textboxes into 1 large textbox which I can't seem to separate them from.
 
If I select one of my labels in Indesign and copy and paste it, it is now a separate text box - great, but InDesign won't let me select multiple text boxes within it's large text box and it just is not feasible for me to be selecting each box individually to cut and paste it.
 
Edit: Each individual text box (within the large textbox they have been imported into) appears to have been anchored on import. If I release the anchor this does what I need in the same way as cutting and pasting, but again, indesign won't let me select more than one and it would take far too long to select each box individually to release it. So I guess I'm either asking for a different import methos, or a way to select multiple textboxes that have been imported into a single text box.

And I will move them separately like:

or

Xara :: Cannot Control Text Color

Mar 21, 2011

I am working on an animated gif, and so with bitmaps, to which I am adding text in Xara.All of the text that I create seems to want to be gray. I have tried changing transparency, I have tried setting my default color, and changing the color of the text.I have also checked to make sure that the text is not set to transparent. If I select the text, and then the transparency tool, it shows "No transparency", and the transparency is set at 0 percent. It is interesting that, if I move the percent transparency above 0 percent and then back down to 0 percent, it changes to "None" in stead of "No transparency". Is "None" the same is "No transparency"?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dimension Fill Color Text Box Size

Oct 24, 2013

I have the fill color turned on in my dimension style to background.  I want to adjust the "masking" box size.  Just as you are able to in the text edit-background mask.  I believe the default must be 1.25 larger than the text.  I would like it to be 1.00.  Is this possible?  You can adjust the text background mask size, but not the dimension mask size.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Symbol - Fill Text Box With White Color

Feb 2, 2012

I want to fill the text box with white color so that the hatching in the views does not interfere with the text inside my text symbol.

as per my understanding this is not possible.. I thought of an alternative-- draw a rectangle instead of text box but was not able to find a way to make it fit to the length of the text. Note that : the text will be varying and so the text length.

Xara :: How To Group Rectangle Filled With Color To Some Text

May 6, 2012

I am brand new to web design and I have Web Designer 6.0. I've looked at video instructions and can not figure this out. I am trying to group a simple rectangle filled with color to some text that will make the rectangle in the background, the text in front, and be one object. It says choose both objects and then group them, but I can choose the rectangle or the text, but not both. I know this is a simple thing to do, but I'm brand new and can't figure it out.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Dimension Text Fill Color To Background

Oct 28, 2013

I would like to set dimension text fill color to "background" instead of, you know, dimensioning my drawings properly.

I have this code I got on these forums and it works well except for the 'TextFillColor' variable. I can't find the correct color number or syntax for "Background'. It's currently set to 0 which produces ByBlock, and any number I put in there corresponds to the AutoCAD color number (1 = Red, 2 = Yellow, etc.)

If you have a better routine that you could post that works for me too. Or maybe you could just do my work for me? Even better.

(defun c:test (/ obj num cnt)
(vl-load-com)
(setq ss1 (ssget '((0 . "Dimension")))
num (sslength ss1)
cnt 0)

[Code]...

I have a picture of text (non-latin characters) that is multicolored. Most of the text is black but certain words/letters are purple, red, blue, etc. and I want to get rid of them. The black and white tool works but the previously colored text is now a shade of gray instead of being pure black. I also played with the contrast and brightness but it the text bleeds and becomes unreadable. The background is also pure white.

Xara :: Convert Text Line To Text Area

Jul 15, 2011

(Using XDP7)

I endlessly find that I have text line objects which I later wish had been proper text areas (because I want to control the size of their bounding box, for example).

Is there any sensible way to convert a text line object into a text area object - it's a bore to do it by creating a new text object and then cutting and pasting the text, and it is seemingly a trivial thing for the software to do automatically.

Alternatively, is there an option (perhaps a hidden one) to have all text objects created as areas rather than lines?
