• Align the selection on the artboard - Photoshop

  Computing: New Mac Pro running the Adobe CC update

  Someone knows a problem with alignment to music while using Photoshop work plans? I have an item on a work plan that I'm trying to focus vertical to a selection, but no matter what I'm doing, it aligns vertical center to the artboard, as if it ignores the selection.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Spencer

  I just found this thread:

  https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/2022217

  Workaround is fine for now, at least I can align to selection, but it's far from ideal.

  Also, when I work within a work plan and start making a new selection, it would be nice if the selection would be contained to the artboard. At that time, it performs a selection on top of everything, but that does not help me a lot if I'm working within the boundaries of the artboard.

  Thanks for a quick reply,

• Align layers to the selection within the artboard does not not in 20151114.r.301 x 64

  A very annoying bug has been introduced since the last update:

  If you perform the following steps in a work plan

  (1) make a selection

  (2) select a layer in the layers panel

  (3) layer > align layers to selection > (al six options)

  The layer is not aligned to the selection, but to the artboard instead! Is anyone have a work around?

  By aligning the selection is essential for the harmonization of layers in a drawing or model. I hope that Adobe will solve this ASAP!

  

  This is a bug.

  It's a side effect of change where we allowed layers be aligned with work plans parent; We does not check for an existing selection mask before allowing the artboard to be a widening of the entire alignment.

  Fix is in preparation. Can't comment on the ETA for you, unfortunately. Just know that it is in the pipeline.

  My apologies for the inconvenience.

• Alignment of Group at the centre and at the bottom of the artboard?

  How can I align a group of shapes in the Center and at the bottom of the artboard? I select forms, group them and choose horizontal centering and vertical align the base, although nothing is happening.

  You must check "Align to the work plan" first of all, it is located in the lower right of the palette of transformation. If you don't see it, click on the fly on the menu and choose "options".

• Align all objects on the artboard, as if they were a group

  AI CS5.1. Bringing together a bunch of objects destroyed their classifications of layer, so how can I select the entire document on my page, treat it as if it were a group and swivel on the artboard?

  The best way to focus a group of objects on the artboard is concluded [width of graphic Board / 2] in the X coordinate and [height of work plan / 2] in the coordinate Y of the Transform palette. Make sure you have the Center selected as your point of reference in the Transform palette point.

• How to create a box the size of the artboard without the help of a script

  HI -.

  Is there a way to create a box to the size of the artboard automatically, without the help of a script? FOR EXAMPLE. something I can build in action. Ive been able to create the box using a script, but we can not save the script in action, so unfortunately that there's no help for me

  What I want to do is

  1 open the file

  2 create box with no filling, no race, making the size of the box of the artboard

  3. run the rest of an existing action

  Greatly appreciate any help, I want to run on more than 10,000 cases per year.

  Using slices may be slightly inaccurate, Carlos (no offense intended).

  Here is another approach:

  Rectangle_Artboard_Size.AIA - Google Drive

  The action was created in Illustrator CS5, so no guarantee that it works in CC2015.

  Two prerequisites are necessary:

  -Alignment on work plan should be on (pallet alignment).

  -L'option divide and outline will remove unpainted work should be disabled (see Options Pathfinder).

  In older versions of Illustrator (I think of CS3), we could make a simple gesture of the 2 step using the object > acreage > make order, then the cultivated area > Release. It is not possible in recent versions of Illustrator.

• Layer mask groups converted from work plans to the size of the artboard in older versions of Photoshop

  I wanted to start this post as an idea, but I couldn't choose communities (it wouldn't let me), so here it is posted...

  ----

  Just came across this with a customer...

  I use for a mobile design project work plans, and I just got a screenshot with some texts asking why among work plans were really great. Way bigger than a phone. (I'm under NDA and cannot post the screenshot, but imagine there are a lot of iPhone size work plans and two of them seem to be at a right angle)

  I opened the file and on my end, everything is the right size. Remembering the weeks ago to tell the customer that they need to update their version of Photoshop for all this work correctly, I have take a look at the screenshot and see that they are on CC2014 - none of the work plans.

  What I'm asking here, is that, since we have data, plans of work are objects of a defined size and 'alive', why not just use these data to hide layer groups at the opening of the PSD / PSB (PSB in my case) in older versions of Photoshop?

  It could save you a TON of hassle and confusion.

  Hi Zack,

  High level to your query response is: no, there is no conduct business case for a general solution to what you are suggesting. So I don't see what is happening.

  I say that as someone who likes to give back and forth and backward compatibility.

  There are two parts of the problem that you raise. They are related and somewhat intertwined.

  1. Having the version previous (2014) do something reasonable with the data from the version the most recent (2015). Either the old version should be taught on the most recent data so it can make a decision about what to do, or the newer version must put additional data in the file format for consumption by the older version.
  2. Back and forth between versions. As you say, a much more difficult problem. In fact, we do a good job of that today. But we must be sure that whatever we do for (1) not to damage and back the wrong way.

  Let's be very clear: 2014 will not be touched, except for critical bugs, absolutely. And even before 2015 is released, it would have not been corrected to make it behave better with work plans. There is no way that I could see what is happening. So all we have done for better backward compatibility had to be entirely done within 2015.

  For the round trip, the general problem is something like this: we want to 2014 to read an object that has properties of 2015, he does not understand. While we might learn ch to keep these properties as opaque property, must also have rules for when these properties are not valid and thrown on the floor. Probably, if the object is changed. But not always. And sometimes when another object parent is changed. And so on. Right now, we destroy them unknown content from their reading in the old version. Make us and record what we understand. As a user, you receive an alert telling you that we are do this. It's the safest thing to do.

  There are special cases where a developer can see an opportunity to preserve a level of backward compatibility and back and forth. We try to do if we believe that it is safe. But this scenario happens only occasionally.

  In the case of work plans, made us really think about this: If we added a mask to the group for backward compatibility, it should do something with this mask reading around 2015. And what would happen if the user edited this mask in 2014 and opened upward in 2015 - and who edited mask do not align with the structures of the artboard? Things started to get dark quickly. We started to see traps. The workflow together to sheath special round trip had to be tested and verified. The cost was rising and this expense must be filtered through a cost/value trade-off. And then what happens when we add a new property to the structure of work plan? At these efforts for nothing?

  So we compromised with what you have today. Work plans become groups in 2014. The Group and the layer structure remains intact. Doesn't secretly add us and remove masks for the round trip. You can safely change the groups to your heart's content. When return you this document in 2015, you redo the work plans of the groups. Was not clear and safe way to do more than that given the time that we had.

  Take a step back and think about your problem, it doesn't seem to be a value to a script that converts group work plans + layer masks for your workflow to have your documents that is consumed by the customers of 2014. This would be carried out in 2015 because she would need understand the work plans. And maybe vice versa from 2014 to 2015, assuming that the documents were not published in a hostile way. We're not likely to write such a script as a generic tool, but someone competent with script might be able to do this.

  More that I intend to write, but hopefully, it gives you additional insight in the compromises that we have faced.

• Alignment for the PS options?

  Now that the boards of the art have been added to the PS, when "align to the art Council" will become available?  Yes, sometimes the guides direct help, but it isn't always lining up to the Council to do art objects, that I'm working on. He's trying to align my object on the Board above or beside him. Or am I missing something?

  This new option of love, just needs a little more DIY and it'll be fantastic!

  Align and distribute work plans are already supported: select several work plans and choose the desired alignment or distribute any menu item.

  To align layers in a work plan: Select layers AND the artboard that you want to align their. Make sure that all the layers are in the work plan of parent, and that parent work plan is also selected.

  You will find that you are frequently in the artboard tool when you do this, so if you do want to use the menu items, simply switch on the tool move if you want to use to align it and distribute buttons on this toolbar.

• Export problems: do not match the size of the artboard

  Hello

  I use a single file to do a lot of banner in Illustrator, I put each banner in a single plan of work. When I export in PNG or JPG file changes size even if the artboard, it's okay. For example, the work plan is 300 x 500, the exported file is 301 x 501... Something appens during export. How is it possible to solve?

  You must ensure that your work is contained in the whole pixel dimensions. Best to turn on Align to Pixel grid in the transformation Panel.

• How to center the object between two guides (or a guide to the edge of the artboard)

  Simple question: How can I Center an object between two guides or between a fence and the edge of the artboard?

  Chris,

  You can (guides are your friends):

  (1) create a rectangle between two Guides or between the fence and the edge of the artboard by ClickDragging with the Rectangle (desired penalty) tool on a (location) on the other Smart Guides say path/path or page/path when you're there;

  (2) select the two rectangle of 1) and the object, and then click the rectangle, and then use the options in the align palette.

  Who should move your object in the Center in the direction you choose.

• JS - selection of the center of the artboard / New Document with some dimensions of the artboard

  TL; DR:

  How do I Center my current selection to the artboard?

  as well as hitting the "align horizontal center" and the «align vertical center» buttons

  Hello

  I searched for the last two hours and before my head hit the keyboard I wanted to ask for help.

  What I am struggling with:

  in my init function, I create a new document and then copy all the layers of the previous document step by step to the new document and then save it as SVG.

  Init

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  My problem is that holderDoc = app.documents.add (); always creates a document that is not the same size as my original document where the layers are copied from.

  so, I want the same artboard size as in my original document.

  I am fine with the fact that fixed values or directly take the values of the initial RFSO.

  I tried this on the segment where I create the new document:

  Init

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  holderDoc.artboards [0] .artboardRect = [0,0,128,128];

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  and receive this error message:

  "Error 1200: Illustrator error: 1346458189 ("PARM").

  Online: 83

  -> holderDoc.artboards [0] .artboardRect = [0,0,128,128]; »

  what I read on the web means that illustrator does not know what to choose document. but I called him directly. so, what could be the problem?

  to clearify: I don't want to adapt to the artboard for the images/layer. the work plan must always be a certain size. (for me 128px by 128px)

  Thank you for helping me to each fixing of my approach highly or offer a completely new.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Edit: workaround solution

  
  

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  var activeArtboard = app.activeDocument.artboards [app.activeDocument.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex ()];

  var ABRect = activeArtboard.artboardRect;

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  holderDoc.artboards.add (ABRect);

  holderDoc.artboards.remove (0);

  holderDoc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex (0);

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  now, I added a new work plan to the new document with the same size as the work plan on the original document.

  I have remove the work plan predefined on the new doc and the new work plan as active.

  BUT!

  now, the work plan is not centered in the window. Illustrator that allows to place my image with ctrl + c-> ctrl + v somewhere outside the artboard.

  Now I need to align my selection in the center of the artboard. but I can't find any reference on how to Center a selection to the artboard.

  I don't know if I understand you right.

  If you want to create a new document with a fixed width and height, you can do this:

  var doc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB, new UnitValue ("128", "px"), new UnitValue ("128", "px"));
  

  If you want to only align your objects selected on the artboard, you can try this:

  Note that the result may be different, if the clipping masks are exist in the document.

  Please test it first on copies of your documents. Use it at your own risk.

• Problem with horizontal Distribution to the artboard.

  If I select 3 or more guides to various positions within the artboard and have "Align to artboard" selected, when I click the distribute horizontal spacing, not only they do NOT distribute to the edge of the page, but sometimes they are not evend distributed within the artboard. I offended need to align the grid of pixels lit everywhere, or limits of use overview. Any ideas?

  Do not click on distribute spacing, click on one of 3 distribute objects vertically if you have horizontal lines, or one of the 3 horizontal distribute objects if you have vertical lines.
