Annotator gradient between several objects - strangeness

I have six rectangles in a row. I apply a radial gradient to them as a whole, by dragging the gradient tool. According to the documentation for CS4, it's what you do if you want only one Annotator gradient between several objects. Problem is, I can see the Annotator, but not the color stops. If I deselect everything, then select a single rectangle, I can see and move the stops, but it effects only the shape selected. In addition, if I group the objects, the Annotator does not at all appear, and when I have the separate, I have six Annotators.

None of these examples will behave as I think they should. Yes, I have "Show gradient Annotator" on in the view menu. I worked with the Annotator fairly, but it always seemed buggy.

What I want to do is to apply the gradient between several objects, as in example 1, then change it between several objects. Is it so difficult?

But the object > make a compound path works with only one problem: after the compound path is done, you can select no longer forms individually.

With the selection tool, the black arrow double click anywhere with any object in the compound path that will bring, you mode of insulation with the direct Selection tool select the object in the compound path and modify to your hearts desire. Double-click anywhere outside the compound path and you will return to the normal mode and you have a compound path that you probably stick in any case.

However even if there are four paths of rectangle stand alone separated, you should be able to simply drag the four objects of the Annotator and still be able to see degraded markers if you position the cursor on one of the four annotators which should appear and see the markers.

  • Linear gradient angle is comprehensive for several objects?

    Hello

    I was wondering if I missed something, or simply confirm the way that the angle of a linear gradient is applied to several objects.

    This image has a gradient applied to all 4 objects (selected together, so both applied gradient).

    Capture-linear-gradient-angle-1.PNG

    The angle is set to 90 degrees, and here the color flows from black to pink, from top to bottom for all.

    This is the effect I want to achieve:

    Capture-linear-gradient-angle-2.PNG

    I.e. each object has the gradient flowing along its own form. I did it by editing the gradient on each individually, not these difficulties with 4 items, however a bit of a barrier for many (e.g. scales or fur, applied with a brush of art).

    I tried the gradient of construction in the predefined brush, but got an error message on the attributes is not not compatible with the brush.

    So... is this correct / expected Illustrator CS6 behavior and/or can achieve the same with efficiency for many, many items all at once?

    Jeff,

    You can create a path (set) with a basic form and the corresponding mix and use it for an Art Brush.

    I'm not sure how far it happens that you desire/need.

  • The call of several objects in a table

    Hello

    I tried to figure out how to appeal to several objects in a table.

    What I want to do is set the value of certain objects display in a table at certain points.

    Thus, for example;

    var CheckBox1 = this.getField("CheckBox1").value;
    var CheckBox2 = this.getField("CheckBox2").value;
    var arrObj = [
    "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten"];
    
    if (CheckBox1 = "Yes") {
         if (CheckBox2 = "Yes") {
              arrObj[1].display = display.hidden;
              arrObj[7, 8, 9].display = display.visible;
              arrObj[4, 5, 6].display = display.noView;
              arrObj[2, 3].display = display.noPrint;
         }
         else if ...
              //do something else
    }
    

    So instead of writing 10 different set out I can condense up to maximum 4 or less in function.

    However, all the ways I tried to do it didn't and I can't find any clear examples on the web.

    Any suggestions?

    As always, any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    This is a potential problem with your code: in a table JavaScript, the first element is element 0 and not 1.

    Try this instead (it's just the inner loop):

    var a1 = [7, 8, 9];
    var a2 = [4, 5, 6];
    var a4 = [2, 3];
    
    if (CheckBox2 == "Yes") {
        arrObj[1].display = display.hidden;
        for (var i in a1)
            arrObj[a1[i]].display = display.visible;
        for (var i in a2)
            arrObj[a2[i]].display = display.noView;
        for (var i in a3)
            arrObj[a3[i]].display = display.noPrint;
    }

    There are many tools to do this in Illustrator. Better to keep your questions simple, precise and at the same task, do not know if you ask how to create the whole image shown or how to align 1 column x and O

    Use the align palette window and which is activated using guides on slam. Take a look at the key of objects, which are very useful.

  • How to subtract a grunge texture of a layer with several objects?

    Hi all

    I've been struggling with this for hours. Would be very grateful for help.

    I'm trying to apply a vintage texture to some vector illustrations.

    In the screenshot, the work I created is in the layer of "work." I tried to simplify the work as much as possible by using the union, merge, expand, etc. I wanted to do a piece of work, but that seems so simple that I can get it.

    When I try to perform a subtraction on the layer 'work' with the layer of 'texture', basically everything disappears.

    I suspect that it does not work as expected because the layer of my work is always composed of several objects and not a unified object.

    Vintage texture superimposed on the work looks good, but I need this subtraction in vector because I intend to get it printed on a shirt in one color, so I can't get the holes filled with color.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    How can I activate art in a single compound path?

    First of all, to unite all paths with the first button in the Pathfinder palette. Then choose object > compound path > make (or press Command-8).

    But don't do it this way. Use an opacity mask.

    If I use the grunge texture as an opacity mask, do I still to transform the art into a single compound path first or I can do to a layer with several objects as if it were now?

    No, you have not; You can keep a complete editibility of your design. You need to just design group firstly, why the opacity mask applies to all this.

    Opacity masks are easier to use if you uncheck "Clip" after their creation. Then, all parts of the mask that is black will be transparent; each part that is white will be opaque, and the things which are shades of gray will be partially transparent. Just like in Photoshop. Right now, your grunge texture is white, so you would need to change to black after making your opacity mask.

  • Relationship between the objects in view with bind variable executed by program

    Hello

    I am trying to create a view link between two objects in view that are query based something like this:

    firstVO

    1. Select P1 in XXX_Table where P2 =: BindVariable1 and

    P3 =: BindVariable2;

    secondVO

    2. Select B1, B2, B3, B4, 1 m env in YYY_Table where B5 =: BindVariable1 and

    B6 =: BindVariable2 and

    B7 =: BindVariable3;

    concatenation of a string of the query above in AMImpl as 'and B8 in ('P1.a', 'P1.b', 'P3.c')' in the AMImpl

    I will execute queries above, based on the variable bind entered by the user in the AMImpl.

    I need to create a link to firstVO.P1 and secondVO.P1 with a 1-based view to * cardinality.

    the problem is when I try to drop the secondVO which is an accessor to the firstVO as a master-child relationship with master table form and as a child, I don't see the details of the child when I iterate the master shape.

    I got my problem solved, the problem was that the master and the children were not in the sink, we can define the child VO by substituting preparerowsetforquery... explained clearly in the post below.

    Thank you

    It is not, but you don't need that to get the behavior you described. A1, a trigger will States and the hyperlink you want. On rolling, it will show its rollover State and show its target container that will be directly on top of A2. It will look like a rollover for A2 State. Repeat for A2, B1 and B2 and I think get you the behavior you described. It is simply a different way of approaching the problem (what happens to adapt the tools available in Muse).
