• Application of the compound path

  Hello

  I inherited a file that has a compound form of path indicates to what fill color is black - but it's actually show be gray. If I release the compound path, and then dissociate I get 2 layers. I do not understand the process first why this would be created this way, and then how it actually works – I downloaded the file to show what I mean that this post doesn't mean much if not

  Any guidance or help would be much appreciated!

  Thanks in advance

  Curiously, your shade was created with an opacity mask.

  Look in your panel of transparency:

  

  To get rid of it, click on the menu drop-down panel transparency and "the version opacity mask", that will leave you with the shape of the mask (a same compound path with it's multiply the value of filling) which you can then delete.

• Connecting two points on the compound path

  Hi guys,.

  First time posting and had a little research but could not know what I needed - forgive me if the answer is and I am looking with the wrong keywords!

  I'm trying to change a font, that I turned into an object. I don't want the tail down to cross during the rest of the letter and I want also to shorten the tail, so I want to join paths, so I can modify it all as one. If you look at the pictures, I'm hoping to join them at the pink line; the second image shows the current paths.

  He is currently a compound path, if that makes a difference.

  Is it possible to get this happening, or is my best bet to trace it?

  Thank you!

  

  

  tashacarolina,

  IF I (put) understand it, if you initially return a compound path, then:

  (1) with the line Segment tool ClickDrag between Anchor Points where you would like the tail to be cut, then object > path > divide objects below, then a compound path output if necessary (unlikely);

  Now you have a simple path;

  (2) cut the ponytail where you want and remove the line to the main part.

  (3) you can adjust the shape of the tip where you cut in 1), if you want to curve.

• How to convert the compound path to simple way barred?

  New animation SVG here and you would appreciate the help.

  I exported an SVG graphic logo to facilitate the animation of lines in the logo. In short, I'm trying to make these lines 'draw' sequentially.

  After you import the SVG object in the browser, I realize the path data to describe complex shapes, rather than a simple path with a vascular accident brain. For example, straight lines appear as a path around the outside edge of the line, a rectangle. See the part of the image below showing the anchor around the edge of the line.

  While I could very well be wrong, it seems that I need to make these lines in the draw of logo is given simple way, with the width of the line determined by a stroke. Does anyone know how I could convert/export what I need to give me what I need?

  Thank you!

  Joseph,

  Simple/no tracks transparent FO, you can do the following:

  1) switch from fill to line in the Toolbox (in you first picture you have completed and no stroke);

  (2) ShiftClick each of the segments of both ends with the direct Selection tool and then tap on delete.

  This will give you two simple traces to the mixture;

  (3) object > mix > blend Options, not specified the value 1, then object > mix > do, then object > mix > Expand, then Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + group to ungroup, and then delete the traces of origin;

  (3) select the new path and him giving the desired weight of stroke (half of the difference in width for traces of origin).

• Making objects in a compound path then the clip

  Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to Java and Illustrator, so any help would be appreciated.

  I'm trying to set up a script that will retrieve a group of objects and turn them into a compound path, and then apply a clipping for the trace mask and the next group to the layer.

  for this snippet, I typed the letter 'o', he described and separated with a unique path, then I drew a narrow rectangle through the O, no line, black fill. The rectangle selected, run the script

  var idoc = app.activeDocument;
  var cp = idoc.compoundPathItems[0]; // the topmost existing compound path
  var sel = idoc.selection[0]; // select the path you wish to add to the existing compound path
  
  sel.move (cp, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move selected path inside the compound path
  sel.evenodd = true; // necessary to determine "insideness" or to make holes.
  

• the addition of several paths in a compound path

  If I use the GUI to add multiple paths in a compound path, all I have to do is select multiple paths and choose object-> compound path-> order manufacture (or ctrl-8). When I do that, then the path of the bottom that is filled has holes "through" creating a window in the form of small roads that were on top again. For example, a large rectangle with a white fill color is the background element and two smaller paths are on top. I have create a compound path and everything that is below the new compound path is reflected in most previous form two small paths.

  If I use JavaScript and create a new compoundPathItem and move 3 trails, with the largest being first, then I get a compound path, but only the first small objects creates a transparent space.

  Here's a simplified example:

  var grpMask = doc.groupItems ['mask group'];
  
  var compound = grpMask.compoundPathItems.add ();
  var pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['bigbox ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);
  pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['PathLeft ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);

  
  pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['PathRight ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);

  In the example above, the "bigbox" has left and right channels above it, but only the left path creates a transparent space in the original box.

  I also tried to use PLACEATEND instead of INSIDE and the two smaller paths and move the group to the compound path.

  Merging the elements of path won't work - I want to keep the original path closed and intact without drawing a line between them so I can't simply add their pathpoints.

  Is move() the best way to add existing paths to a new path

  Thank you!

  I'm not sure,

  Take a look at polarity and/or evenodd propertys of pathItems inside the compoundpath.

  Maybe there is a difference.

• Compound path creating problem

  We're talking Ai CS5.
  I have an outside closed path representing a brain, with several other railways closed inside, representing the folds of the brain. I want to create a compound path, such as the folds appear white (background color) against a gray color for the brain. What is happening is that some folds become white as it should be, while others receive the same grey color as the brain. I checked the path is closed.
  Any idea what's going on?
  TIA
  Steven

  You can check (a stripped version of) the form to the address http://nenya1.net/temp/brain.ai.
  On my PC the yellow trail left does not seem to have included in the compound path (i.e. becomes not transparent) while the right yellow path.
  Note: I just checked the file that I downloaded to make sure that you see the same things I do. Even if it's the same file areas that do not become the compound path are different!

  
  PS: Some paths appear 3 times on the other. Seems to be an artifact of the vectorization I applied to a scanned image.

  You often get duplicated paths, when you do not check the option "ignore white ' in the vectorization. So check this when scanning black and white.

  I would like to try one of these select duplicate JavaScripts (see here for example http://illustrator.hilfdirselbst.ch/dokuwiki/skripte/javascript/uebersicht )

  If there is a hole in a compound path depends on the fill rule. There are two of them. Only depends on the direction of the route. But both are unsuccessful, when there are too many paths above the other. If you must delete the duplicates.

• A compound path to access/clipping mask, or something else?

  Hello

  Basically, I'm changing this.

  in a mouth with teeth.

  I am trying to get rid of the surplus lines and leave the black lines in the white space.

  I've tried highlighting all and make a mask of clipping and even with the compound path, and it does not produce the results that I need. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Thank you

  Sally

  Hi Sally,

  Using a mask, he would do what you want.

  Select all the black lines and group them (Ctrl + G).

  Then duplicate the white object Ctrl + C (copy) and paste Ctrl + F (stick it in place), make sure that the duplicate is in the front.

  Then by selecting the black lines, you can see and the white shape/object that you have brought to the front (now shift), press Ctrl + 7 (mask) and you will get the result you want.

  Let us know how you get on?

• Compound path question

  Apart from their use to cut holes in the forms, are there other reasons to create a compound path? They seem to be similar to a grouping of the railways so I was just wondering.

  They are not at all like groups. Transparent tracks get a trace in the layer panel, no container with sub-paths (as a group of the East). You will need desperately transparent trace when you want to make several paths clipping mask. Also for some operations of pathfinder with multiple paths

  There is a chapter in the manual which compared groups for the compound path for compound forms.

• cut out a shape with compound path?

  Hello Cs6 here... I'm trying to cut out a simple shape to allow the area as transparent or Alpha. As a mask. Except when I use the mask for this, he must make and mask the area where is the shape and hide or delete areas not covered by the mask. I tried the compound path, but I don't get any results from it. My form remains just above my work and do not "cut out" to allow the background shine as an alpha channel. See photos for more clarity please. No matter what specific path or steps would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  NORTH CAROLINA

  I want to reverse this trend where the circle is cut off and the rest remains visible...

  NORTH CAROLINA,

  In the second image of the OP, you have placed at the ellipse, and then you have made an object > clipping mask > make.

  Instead, you can simply select the ellipse and the work and transparency palette flyout > make opacity mask and she, with a reverse mask for a white ellipse.

  Or instead, you can:

  (1) create a rectangle that extends beyond the work behind the ellipse;

  (2) select the ellipse and the rectangle and object > compound path > make;

  (3) select the compound path and the work and the object > clipping mask > make.

• Apply Photoshop clipping path of a bunch of images

  I was wondering if someone can suss this out.

  I have a bunch of images, sometimes a background is necessary, sometimes not. So I drew a lot of traces of shadow around the images (I know I could do with layers in PSD, but I chose this path for some reason any).

  Anyway, I can't apply the mask photoshop a lot of selected images. I have to do one at a time. I'm not aware of a switch anywhere to turn off the clipping paths and?

  Any ideas? Or a better way to avancerMC? This will be done continuously for at least another year. And I won't be turning on/off the paths of clipping one at a time.

  This javascript works for you? (It applies the first path only, if there is more than one--nothing should happen if you have no path in a selected image.)

• What is the difference between object > contour line, Object > expand... and oppose > Compound Path/do?

  Could someone explain the differences between these three commands? I created a circle with a stroke, applied all the three commands and ended up with the same thing, a compound path. Are there situations where this is not the case, or situations where one of these commands is more appropriate?

  Cleveland,

  In the case of the accident vascular cerebral/nofill right, object > describe vascular accidents, cerebral and object > expand seem to do the same thing.

  In the layers palette, you can see three different results to develop if you have so much background and outline ticked, ticked off just about fill, and only STROKE checked. Only the last corresponds to the contour line.

  You use Outline Stroke that more simple if it's what you need. Trace to create something with one or more holes of several paths, either to raise subsidized the Clipping Path of a clipping mask paths. Expand is for the rest.

• Compound path without borders on the inner path

  Hi guys,.

  I am creating a form that the text should be transparent.

  I fixed that by creating a compound path, but it inherits all elements of the form (which makes sense) but given that the form has a border it now get an innner thus border.

  Is there a way to throw the inner border and have just outside one?

  

  xanuex,

  You can keep the direct and just Type:

  (1) select Type and path of the underlying

  (2) transparency (launcher) > do the mask opacity (Clip and opposite unchecked).
