Align the selection on the artboard - Photoshop

• 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.

• 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.

• Align on the artboard

  I create a new file in Illustrator. 30 x 30 px. No background just black outline.

  I have create a new rectangle 27 27 px

  I select the rectangle and go to the icon to align on the artboard

  I click the icon Center Horizontal alignment and Vertical alignment to Center

  It moves, but it is not aligned in the Center

  

  I don't understand. Is there anything else I have to do. I don't know there are no guides, no other objects. I closed and open Illustrator and does not always Center.

  I have the same problem if I create a new document with any new rectangle. I don't know what else to check.

  Any ideas?

  It looks like another problem with "snap to grid of pixels.

• 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.

• Work plans: selection of the artboard and unlock automatic disabling shapes in the work plans - possible?

  Hello

  I easily through the General work plan, and I saw immediately, so I thought I'd put it out there. Here are my two questions:

  1. is there a way to disable the ability to move a work plan while working in it? Essentially, to block the plan in place, but not the items it contains? If you use the automatic selection and slightly approach the edge of the plateau, then swipes the entire Board rather than just a few layers / items you want.

  2 is there a way to auto unlock all layers, including forms? It can be really frustrating for fish through the layers to find the form locked in order to remove a work plan. Command + / has not worked for me when I closed a single object manually.

  Thank you very much! I hope that these are not repeated questions.

  1. Yes. Use 'Position Lock' on the layer of the artboard properly said.

  

  2. Yes. Select the parent group or the artboard. While holding down the alt/option key, choose "Lock all layers in artboard...» "in the drop-down menu Layers Palette.

  

  This should unlock all layers inside this group or the artboard.

  (Probably, the fact that the menu does not change when you hold down the alt key is a bug, but it does not)

• 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 stop Photoshop CC 2015 putting always placed the image in the middle of the artboard

  Having finally upgraded CS6 CC this month, I love a lot of new things. But when I Zoom in on an image, or working on a large work surface, it's very frustrating when I place a linked image, it always happens in the middle of the artboard outside my viewing area. It didn't used to be like that. You can place an image and it should appear in your display area.

  Surely, there is a setting for this that I can't find?

  Thanks in advance.

  Fine adjustment, when you place an image is guaranteed on our part. We must pay more attention to the display area.

  It's on our list. Looking for a next version of improvement.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

• Place of cc 2015.0.1 integrated Photoshop puts the new layer at the top of the artboard stack, not above source layer as it should, or even in the same folder of layers

  . Is this a bug or is at - he of the settings that I can adjust?

  I want to confirm that we share the experience should be improved, and we have taken steps to do this in the next version.

  An unsatisfactory explanation: we are short of time for the first version of work plans, so that we don't treat this as we would have liked to 2015.0. We have seen having placed hidden content completely outside the boundaries of a plan of work as a very bad experience, so as a quick fix and prevention, we decided that if the layer target was inside a work plan, we would place new content at the top of the layer stack where you could see it and then leave the artboard auto-nid code drop in the projected work plan. We have heard from a number of people that it was not good enough.

  (Unfortunately, I can't comment on the timing of the next release, so please don't ask.) Just know that we are listening and we spent some time trying to improve things in this area.)

  In addition, the changes described above are in a completely different area code logic who handled double layers. That's why the duplicated layer marker did not affect placed layers.
