Xara :: Set Duplication Distance To 0 X 0 For All Documents
Jun 23, 2011
In older versions of xara you could set the duplication distance to 0 X 0 for all documents. In the new Pro 7 it appears that the duplication can only be set for each document. Am I missing something? I always want the duplicated object to appear on top of the original. Can I do that somehow (without having to set that per document?) Also, the help files say that Control D will duplicate like it used to in xara xtreme, but I can't get that keyboard command to produce results. Is this a glitch or is it intended that way? Control, Alt, D does duplicate but that's clumsy.
Usually when I have worked on a project and close the program, the next time I open my Xara program the previous documents I was working on would load, but not now. I'm having the same problem with XPX and just cannot seem to find what I may hae changed. Having that ability was sometimes a lifesaver.
When X7 and its Group Editing mode first came out, there were grumblings about the "Closing Document" dialog that appears when clicking on the little "X" found on the Edit Inside tab.
I am sure most folks have found that can all be bypassed (assuming you want to keep the edits you just made). But for those that haven't, simply click the Save Icon in the Standard Toolbar.
I am working on a drawing where I am trying to create bright twinkling coloured lights in the distance, the lights will be quite small so they don't need a lot of detail but what I'm after is the illusion of these tiny bright lights casting light if that makes any sense.
I'm experimenting with various shapes and transparencies but I still haven't quite got the look I'm after. Here is a screenshot of the sort of effect I'm after?
I am trying to oTrack distance from the top circle edge of a cylinder to a certain distance ... whenever i try to do that ... it either track to x and y .. but not in z :/ ... the video i have on you tube he did it so simply and it seems to be easy .
I am not sure what is wrong .. but i heard parallel and perspective view could make a difference .. i actually try both :/ ...
I am trying to duplicate the editing on this picture, but I have very little experience with Photoshop. Look at the unedited (top) compared to the edited (bottom) what might have been done to achieve the edited effects?
I am tryign to duplicate a vector shaped star many times at the moment all i can do is duplicate the layer it is on.
this is fine but iam gogin to end up with about 100 layers. is there anway of copying/cloning a vector shape i can rasterise it if needed but this hasent helped.
in case its important i have two suplicated layers of test i want to remove star shapes from the top layer so the bottom layer comes through so you have text with stars in.
I made an illustration to show what I need, I guess it's easier to understand than my explanation below... Â QUESTION: I have a circle. I want to make a copy of this circle for, say, 80 % of the original size. I'd like to repeat the duplication so the next copy have the same distance to the second circle as between the first two circles (in other word the percentage would change between tranformations) - and so on. Â Hopefully there is some easy way to achieve this so I don't have to do it manually.
I had a batch of 42 photos and laboriously entered titles for each one. At about the 40th, I discovered the program had copied into all the picture titles the most recent title entered. So it had overwritten my work. I started over and entered titles again. This was not a synch action on my part and there were no efforts to have a repetitious action that might apply to the pictures included in my collection. Â I will understand this is probably some kind of "feature" but if so where do I turn it off? This is Lightroom 4 and involves both raw and jpg files.
I must have accidentally ticked something because all of a sudden Lightroom 4.3 has started to import an original filename.tif file and also copy it to filename -2.tif, doubling up each file. What do I have do to change to stop this? Â Using a 64bit Windows 7 PC
I would like to know whether Corel Draw can fill a shape with another shape or object/icon so that it gets scaled to the shape size. As in this picture: [URL] ...
As you see the shape is a text/font and it's filled with diamonds (it's not simply following a path). If it's not handmade I assume the automatism works like that: there is only 1 diamond = the object, and the object gets duplicated through the entire shape and resized so it fits.
It appears Adobe Illustrator cannot do this automatically, see: [URL] ... (there's another example in the first post), can Corel Draw? I don't have Corel Draw. I am just looking for a program capable of doing it automatically.
if you have something selected and you press the minus key on the numberpad, you get a copy and paste of your selection. Unfrotunatly, I do not see a place to change this ANYWHERE under customization. how this can be turned off?
I was having a few issues with shift-constrain resizing not working, and option-drag duplication not working, also using the space bar to move the document around the viewport.
OSX 10.9, InDesign 9.2.1.
I reset the preferences, restarted which failed to solve the problem.However once I updated my Wacom driver from 6.3.3 to the latest 6.3.8-2 that seemed to solve the problem.
So I use Photoshop a lot. I think I got CS6.Anyways. Last week I could play 3 internet files, two movies, photoshop 5 different documents and much more. However, now I can't open internet and do photoshop. I have to restart my computer to run photoshop and make sure I don't use any other program. Sometimes the file only lasts 30 minutes before it won't allow me to edit. Â I have A LOT of room left on my computer. 706GB free of 907GB. I tried to clean my computer, but that didn't work. It also is saying extrusion file is curruptied or damaged.
I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended on a MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2011) running Mac OS X 10.7.3. When I open a document in Photoshop, the document window is nowhere to be found yet it allows me to edit things within the document via double-clicking layers in the layers panel. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? Â I've tried opening multiple documents at once, using the "arrange windows" option, and changing the workspace, all to no avail. The only thing I have found is restarting the entire system each time. This isn't something I want to continue to do.
I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I can not open RAW documents with it. It happened to me the same problem with Element 8 and I managed to install CameraRaw8 on it.
I did the same manipulation and this error message show up: "Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in"
I have some really important paperwork i need edited, dates changed. I already scanned the document. All I want to do is change some dates around and I cant seem to figure it out.
I will be photographing old blueprints that are 3'x4'(this will be the largest).
I will be getting a camera stand and I am looking at the Bogen / Manfrotto Mini Salon 190 Camera Stand which seems to be the best solution for my needs.
But my question is what lens?? I have a Sigma 20mm macro but I am concerned about the distortion around the edges (which sigma does great with trying to eliminate). The other camera I have is a canon 28-135 that has limited macro capabilities but I think some Kenko tubes might take care of that.
The lighting has me a bite perplexed as well. With the camera at a 90 degree angle I will have to make sure the light source is between the camera and the paper and not over the camera to eliminate shadows. My studio lights are too big for this and flash is supposedly a big no-no because of creating hot spots.
This feature sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. For instance I just opened two photos and tried to use Arrange Docs clicking on the side by side choice. Nothing happens. Tried this several times.
Then I hit F three times to cycle through and get back to normal view. Tried Arrange Docs side by side once again and it worked.
Shut down PS Cs4 and opened it again and brought in the same two pictures and Arrange worked right away.
But I know it will fail again as it has on many occasions in the last few days. I can't predict when it will work.
My video card does not support GPU. It's an Invidia GSX5500. Could that be the reason?
I have CS2 running on XP with a Wacom tablet. I need to copy select layers of several designs into a larger layout. I've tried to link and paste and I can't get multiple layers highlighted to link. As a work around, I've copied them and merged them and then copied and pasted the single layer -- overall not a pleasant solution.
One new feature in CS4 is 'arrange documents' and the drop down options. This works great. However when I close the open files and open some more CS4 has lost the settings I had. Is there somewhere to make it default to 'my' settings - always do the same as last settings. For example 'float all in windows' would be the default to always open new files instead of tabbed always opening first.
I recently got CS4 version of Photoshop and now I'm having a weird problem with the "Arrange Documents" navigation.When I installed PS the dropdown menu worked like it should, but suddenly without any warning it started to like this:As you can see it doesn't show any icons on the menu.. just blank dropdown. I works correctly though f.ex.
I can choose any option I want, but it's so frustrating trying to navigate as "blind". I've tried looking through the preferences about interface and so on, but haven't found help from there. Also I tried uninstalling and re-installing the hole software again. The result was that when I opened PS for the first time after re-installation it worked like it should be (I could see all the option like I should), but as I turned off the computer and opened it the next day the situation was this problem again.
I have installed Photoshop CS6, am running on Mac 10.6.8 and now EVERY file I open in PS opens up at 0.071%. Tried throwing away preferences, no change. Have looked over every PS forum and the net in general for ANY clue on this one.
I have inserted (Object) a Photoshop PDF into Word documents. The results is TERRIBLE!  I had a professional photographer photograph drawings in RAW. He gave me a DVD with TIFF images he created in Photoshop. I opened these TIFF files in Photoshop CS6, cropped, sized and rotated to landscape. I saved it as a PDF. I then opened Word (Windows 7). I inserted the Photoshop PDF. It looked terrible! Lines are missing or gray. If I print them out directly from Photoshop (not as PDF) they come out perfect. But my publisher wants everything in ONE document (Word).
I received a layered psd from a colleague. In PS, she did some simple animation to show me what she was looking for. I had planned to take the file in to after effects to do the final animation, but when I do, the animation comes in and every layer and comp has a pre-set duration that I cannot change without time remapping.  For example, there is a 'pack shot' and some text. The entire animation is about 2 seconds and 15 frames. When I import as a composition in to after effects, every layer is pre-set to 2 secods and 15 frames - even the text layers and precomps. The text layers have that out point marker like comps do - but as a still layer it normally doens't have a set out point.  In photoshop I was able to convert to a frame animation and delete the frames, ending only with where the end of the animation is, but the durations are still there...  How can I completely delete animation from a PSD so that photoshop or after effects can't even tell it was ever animated? Is there a simple "remove all animation data" command?
Mac OSX10.6.8, PS CS6Â current version (not the cloud).Just updated from CS5 to CS6. Photoshop, when I open a new doc it is scaled down to .08%, and when I use the fit to window option the document scales down to .08% view. CS5 does not do this, thought maybe I have a setting wrong in CS6, or something is new that I missed. Doesn't have anything to do with resize window pref., does it no matter if it's checked or not.
