create the path of line in one line?

I prepare the files to use with a cutting laser. Then I drew a picture, scanned and put it in Illustrator.

When I try to create a path, it describes both sides of the race of my pen. I need to create a line, not two.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you!

Rachel,

If you use Image/Live Trace, you can set for the race, does not, in the options.

Or you can redraw with the tool pen on top of the locked image and get the path in this way.

    y at - it advice to create the trajectory autour and object of the image?

    Arioman,

    For vector illustrations (if you are referring to the object), you can use the appearance palette flyout and adds a new line (you can add several ones with desired weight of race and color (and transparency > opacity may be set to 0%).) You can drag the new line below the filling to have only the outer ring of half of it appear (so you will need to double the weight race).

    For images with transparency raster, you can redraw the outside contour with the right tools (Pen Tool, Ellipse tool, what is appropriate), or you can Auto/Live Trace the outer contour (you may need to develop) and then apply whatever the race weight, color, whatever, you want.

    For raster with just a rectangular border images, you can object > flatten transparency, then separate and flatten transparency and apply the stroke to the path that was a clipping mask. You can use the object > offset by half the weight of the race if you want the path outside of the frame. There may be other ways in the new version (s).

  • Unique path to the path dotted line?

    Hello Experts!

    I went out of my Illustrator graphics to a strawberry of trade by exporting to SVG. Paths of dictate cuts.

    I would like to simulate a fold makes its way in dotted lines without having to hand draw each dash in the path.

    With the help of Illustrator CS4, how can I create paths clean single dotted line of continuous paths with the applied dotted line?

    If I use the dotted with hierarchical path (on a loop not closed), I find myself with rectangles (as the dotted line has a width to it).

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    Richard

    Rix,

    You can:

    (1) create a short path, the length of the dashboard (you can use the online tool);

    (2) in the brushes dialog, check create new brush and check model brush, defining the spacing on the length of the gap and keep Stretch Fit checked (you get a slight change of lengths); Now you have a brush to dashboard;

    (3) apply to the Dash brush for paths in question;

    (4) object > decompose the aspect to create paths separated from short simple as dashes.

  • How to create the variable diagonal line pattern in CS6?

    Hi guys

    I'm at the edge of madness with the creation of my pattern of diagonal lines. I've tried everything I can think of, but the boss is an absolute mess! I want to create a pattern of diagonal lines, but I want the lines to not be uniform. Basically, I had a group of 3 lines and then a separate line on its own, then repeating this like the image below. I used the function of distributing the distances between the lines is the same everywhere. I then turned the all exactly 45 degrees and aligned with the lines to fit in the bounding box in the mode 'as the motive"as shown. Yet, the resulting model is just a mess of the ugliness of overlap. Can all that I want is the model literally watch as it does in the picture on the left, someone you please tell me how to sucessfully this in CS6? Would be eternally grateful!

    Desired design: pattern problem.png result:ugly pattern.png

    Never create a line pattern obliquely. It is not necessary.

    Create the model at 90 ° angle and then use object > transform > Rotate and check the option "Transform Patterns" and enter the angle you are after...

    Try to get the slanted lines to match a pattern can take a lot of effort. Where as with this method you can create the pattern and turn it in a few minutes. Let the Illustrator to work for you rather than against you. And, you can rotate to any angle, so the model will work in many ways.

  • Create the path

    Hello. I'm trying to follow a tutorial, but I don't get the options they do.  Basically, I created an image and converted into a clip.  Inside that clip, I create a new layer and I give both layers of 70 executives.  On the top layer, I then draw a path, right-click on the layer and choose guide.  I then and drag the lower layer, which represents my video clip under the guide layer.  The next step is to right click on the background layer, my object layer, and then choose create the motion tween.  This is blackened me however, and my only option is to create a classic Tween.

    As a note, I use CS5 and the tutorial, I'm following seems to use an older version.  In addition, they don't do a right-click on the layer and choose the motion tween.  They choose the layer and as their properties panel, they have an option of interpolation in the menu drop down, they choose the movement.  I can't find this option button in my interface however.

    Is there a reason why he used to allow me to make a motion tween?

  • Create the custom for more than one table, and then another user authentication scheme

    Hello

    I already test to create an courable authentication scheme. It works very well!

    My problem is that I designed a database on the data requirements. So the results are two different user tables - one record data of the company and the other to consist of data from dealers. Both can register on my web application with e-mail address (Unique).

    The authentication scheme in APEX checks the table right on a data user!

    A possible solution is to call the company with the dealer table table. But in the picture of society isn't some attributes wich find no need in the dealer table and vice versa.
    Further, that it is not possible that the concessionaire may register that they self as a company with the same which e-mail they use for registration as a reseller.

    Can you give me some more ideas how slove/manage this problem...

    I am using APEX 4.0.2 on an Oracle 10 g database.

  • create the path at the top of the existing path

    You can close the red Road (just a straight segment path), and then of Pathfinder > ditch, then Ctrl / Cmd + SHIFT + G to Ungropup, and then select the two paths to the left and Pathfinder > unit (or similar for the last piece, (slightly) different for some earlier versions).

  • Convert a path in line/STROKE/pencil?

    Need help with the railways... I use the tool pen to create a path, having created and close my path I want to convert the path of line weighted about 6 pixels in green.

    I tried to convert in road fill and draw the path, but these options allow me to set a width in pixels of the path.

    Probably miss me something very simple, but tips are welcome.

    Thank you, Rob.

    Trace the path will use everything you have your current brush or pencil value. Then, choose the color and width before tracing path.

    Keep in mind Photoshop do not caress the paths as an Illustrator.

  • Adding new point to existing path which is NOT on the path

    I need to add a new point to a path that is not on the way, that I am trying to add.  In other words, I am trying to extend a line in a given direction, do not add a new point in the middle of an existing line.  I created the path using the pen tool, then I've done something else with another tool and then returned on my road.  I add_ _can a new point using the pen to click somewhere on the existing path, but this isn't what I want.  I want to add a new point on the way to extend the line (I use STROKE with no fill to create a line) in a certain direction.  No combination of keys I've tried seems to allow After Effects insists on creating a new, separate, Lane which is not what I need.  Any help appreciated, thx!

    1. Select the layer with the open path
    2. Select the tool pen (keyboard shortcut g)
    3. You hover over the path the cursor turns into a small black arrow
    4. Click on the vertex at each end of your open path
    5. The cursor now changes behind the pen tool
    6. Click anywhere to add another point on the path

    The trick is to not having all vertices in the path selected when you start

  • ORA-07202 creating the DB

    Hello

    Recently, I confronted the following errors (ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed ORA-07202: sltln: invalid parameter to sltln) creating DB. I installed the software first (10.2.0.1) on CentOS Linux x86_64 x86_64 x86_64, then he patched with 10.2.0.4 and now I am trying to create the database. After reaching 3%, it shows me these errors. Newspapers do not contain errors or messages that are related.

    I'm losing my marbles guess what the problem is and how to deal with it.

    Any help is appreciated

    It is a famous bug 5046765.

    Please use the below workaround

    You use the DBCA "Custom Database" option Wizard and then go through all the screens. Along the way you choose to use Oracle managed files with multiplexing. At the end of the process, you have the option to do one or up to three things, create the database, save the model and create scripts.

    If you choose to save the template and NOT to create the database, and then try to use this model in another session DBCA to create the database, with the fact that it fails:
    ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed:
    ORA-07207: sltln: invalid parameter for sltln
    on Unix and it fails with:
    ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed:
    ORA-09314: sltln: logical name translation error
    on Windows.

    During the analysis of the model and scripts, you look in the new file init.ora and you discover the line that makes the process fails:
    control_files =""
    In scripts that you have saved, this line does not appear. When you create the database at the same time, you save the model, this line does not appear. However, when you run the template saved in a new session DBCA to create the database, this line is added to the file init.ora and the process fails with the errors above.

    So I thought to it. Paths use BeforeDraw() and EndDraw(), making the filling operations and outline Draw(). The problem is that these functions not called until the path is rendered on the canvas. So, I expanded my class path and too rolled the EndDraw() function. In this function, I sent an event. Then, when I catch the event I can get the DisplayObject of the track (which is now filled) and pass this object in BitmapData().

  • Remove the path type without deleting the path

    I accidentally created a path of kind of a way, I wanted to keep to a brush stroke. Whenever I select the type and delete the entire path is deleted. Or if I'm going to object > path > clean until... > empty text paths it tells me that there is nothing to clean up. I really wish to remove the path type if I can put a brush stroke on it instead of completely making the new path. It took me some time to create the path to the way I wanted it, so if there is a way to remove the type would be great. I searched on adobe site and Googling it and so far I have not found help. If anyone needs more information to help me understand that I will do my best to provide it.
    Thank you!

    If you were able to group - select just the path, make a copy and paste as I suggested.

    Keyboard shortcuts are Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Win) to copy. CMD + V / Ctrl + V for paste. (These are under the Edit menu.)

    This gives you a new copy of the original track with no remnants of the text. If you are satisfied, you remove the original path with text. Is not that what you want?
