Decomposition of objects in Illustrator

Hello

I am addressing you pour to understand the functioning of the decomposition of objects in Illustrator (CS5).

It is that plug-in often the function 'Distortion and transformation-> Transformation' from the appearance Panel pour an object.

I said that-ins Illustrator for scientific purposes, so a file can still be bringing to be changed. This is why I try to always keep a file built in a form such as the changes to aspects or forms of objects can be quickly realized.

Either I draw an object (say, a circle), I want to replicate both horizontally and vertically. The "Transformation" function I applied then four times pay replicate (12 times) the object in the four cardinal directions. At this point I have a network of circles. The advantage of this technique is that if I want to change the size and appearance of the replications, I don't act only on the original path.

At this point the file Illustrator becomes very large (why, I'm naïve), that's why I copy and apply a decomposition of aspect of my replica ('object-> decompose aspect') trace.

The problem takes place now. Illustrator know manage objects a lot, and with replication of the original circle that I drew, I would expect to have 576 objects (24 * 24). Instead of this, I have many more decomposed objects that pour most are unnecessary copies. For example, the central object (the original path) contains his only 576 copy him even, and this is similar pay other surrounding replicas. Naturally, extra copies are useless and load Illustrator, making it almost inoperable.

So, how does the option of decomposition of aspect? The problem can quickly be seen by using a single replication feature.

Either a vertical one replica 10 times on the right and then 10 times on the left. After decomposition of aspect on aura 1 appearance of the end, then this number increases pour have 10 occurrences of the trace of the base.

I notice that this problem appears that TR on use several functions of transformation of the appearance Panel. If one function is used, the decomposition of aspect works perfectly.

Kudos to the brave who had the strength to read until here :-).

Greetings to all,

Edgar

Edgar,

If I (put) understand, you just need to use effect > Distort & Transform > transformation twice and setting the number of copy to 1 less than the number desired in each direction (horizontally) and 23 back and forth if you want to end up with a total of 24 both directions, 576 total.

In other words, from the object at one of the corners rather than in the middle. You can move the game as you want to get in the right place,

With the first transformation, you get copies of the original object, with then one you get copies of the original and the first series of copies.

Anything beyond that will give you a mess of copies on top of the other.

  • What is and what is not considered a transparent object in Illustrator?

    Hi guys!

    A couple of years ago, I placed a picture hidden above a spot color in InDesign and this brought me some problems. A weird white box appeared between them and I lost my impression. A few days after the incident, I discovered that it is not recommended to place transparent objects above spot.

    Well, now in Illustrator, I don't know if I have the same problem if I place a clipping above one mask spot. I used the Flattener Preview to see my transparent objects and my clipping mask was not one of them, but I would like to know for sure: is a clipping mask (with a a tif) considered a transparent object in Illustrator? I have again the horrible white box? I really need to put this over the stain of color clipping mask.

    I'm fair to assume that transparent objects in Illustrator:

    1. Mixture of the effects
    2. Shadows, etc.
    3. Mask with LAMINATED clipping objects

    ?

    Adobe has a white paper that explains this better:

    http://partners.Adobe.com/public/ASN/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.PDF

    Yes the 3 elements you mention create transparency.

  • I'm updating photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop, the object doesn't turn into a dynamic object why?

    Update photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop object market not turning into a smart object why?

    OK - think I have this sorted out now.

    When you copy and paste an Illustrator file in Photoshop, you get the dialog box PASTE.

    You can paste as smart object, Pixels, path and shape layer. In the past, you would select depending on what you want (in my case for most Smart Object) and viola - you have your dynamic object. However, in the newly revised version, there is a checkbox in low called "Add to my current library" If this box is checked, it becomes a library file that displays with a 'cloud' icon in the layer. If you uncheck the 'Add to my current library' it won't matter as a regular smart object.

  • How can I request features objects from Illustrator?

    This seems to be an amateur and very simple problem, but I had no chance to solve in the last days.

    In Illustrator, I did a series of glyphicons I want to use in Photoshop.

    Now, I don't want to not simply copy and paste these glyphicons static objects.

    but apply various effects to them, most basic among them being stroke.

    Out of the four options to import an object from Illustrator into Photoshop,

    I have excluded dynamic object because it forces me to move forward and backward Illustrator and Photoshop to change,

    and I of course excluded pixel as well.

    I have the feeling that my answer may be found in the path,

    but I've been playing mainly with the shape layer.

    However, the biggest problem I have with the shape layer is the one

    It recognizes the external contour of the imported object,

    However, there is no way to do it for something else.

    For example,.

    Sample.jpg

    If I bring the subject above to Photoshop via the shape layer,

    It won't recognize the circle as an editable area and not the star.

    So my question would be,

    How to do effects like stroke both the circle and Star

    without dealing with the separate objects?

    I would be grateful for any answer! XD

    Moving between AI and PS is a pain and needs to be improved. Once the paths are in PS that Paste as paths, duplicate the shape layer, then remove the external path. That will leave the inner path which you can then draw.

    File in AI:

    Stuck in PS:

    Selected departure then ctrl/cmd-J put stars on its own layer:

    How to set text in an object, so the object expands with the text and has even space on both sides of the object in illustrator cc?

    R,

    You can do this:

    (1) create the initial direct Type;

    (2) in the appearance palette dialog, click on add a new fill and define the color as you wish;

    (3) effect > convert to shape > Rectangle corners round/Rectangle/Ellipse and set parent > width/extra height as you wish (essentially what needs to be added to the size of the bounding box, if anything).

    After that you can change the Type and the filled area will fit as shown on the picture.

  • order to create object in Illustrator

    Hello world!

    We have a problem.

    We use Illustrator CS 3-4-5 to create vector graphics for print and cut. The machine we use for printing and cutting is a Roland VP 540 and the SoftRip is Wasatch 6.6

    The order create us objects in Illustrator is the that the machine is ready to use to cut and apparently Illustrator who remember very well.

    So on a provision such as 1, 3 x 4 m if we have 300 items of the machine is about to go back and forward several times as objects that we created.

    We would like to know if there is a solution to remove the order of creation of the object. so at the moment where we cut the objects they will be treated as the impression is - progressive.

    Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You mean a compound path?

  • You can duplicate an objects in illustrator as you do in After Effects?

    In After Effects shapelayer you can create an object and the duplicate in a script inside the AE and decide how many copies and where they should be placed.
    Would be great if this could be a similar thing in illustrator.
    If you want to create bricks in a wall or windows in a House.

    If this is not such a thing how you create bricks in a wall without having to copy and paste several times.

    / Mattias

    Have a look at the appearance Panel and the deformation and transformation > transform effect.

    This allows to make multiple copies and add many effects that can be changed whenever you like.

    The result can be saved as a graphic Style.

    So, do a search of appearance and graphic styles in the help file.

  • Photoshop: Edit a linked smart object in Illustrator

    I've created a few vector shapes and text in Illustrator and paste in Photoshop as a vector object smart. I re - uses these elements, so I the converted to a linked smart object. Awesome. But now, when I double-click items in Photoshop to edit in Illustrator, the linked file just opens preview (I use Mac OS). It is possible to manually edit the linked file by double-clicking it in the Finder and selecting open in Illustrator. It is possible but not very effective. Converted into a dynamic linked object removes the ability to quickly open/edit my Photoshop vectors?

    Yes, it removes only the ability. To be able to do what you want, you must integrate the smart AI object in your file. It is inefficient.

  • Copy and paste multiple objects in Illustrator to Photoshop in the form of multiple layers

    I am working on an application and will stick in hundreds of groups from Illustrator to Photoshop.

    Is there a way I could select all in my Illustrator file and when I paste it into Photoshop it sticks each object as its own layer (I need it to stay Smart Objects).

    Here is a picture of what I'm working on: http://i.imgur.com/bSn7Qew.png

    Each number is a group of several objects and I'd love to be able to copy all and paste into Photoshop as 100 layers rather copy and paste each number one by one.

    In Illustrator make each unique in a compound shape. (use the menu in the pathfinder for this Panel.

    Then export a PSD in Illustrator using editable character maximum. The forms will then form layers in Photoshop.

  • error on the selection of object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

    Hi all, I have problem with object selection in illustrator CC, when I select the current object it will also choose the other object, I can not select the object I want, not on the group or the clipping mask... always to highlight both. It often happen when I've done so vector object. any help from you guys is so appreciated...

    Thank you

    It happened through so many versions that I remember most when I met first it.

    One thing works only occasionally when you get such a choice of "ghost";

    Create another object (a small square or other).

    Select it. Your new object and spirit will be selected at this point.

    Align using one of the alignment buttons, any.

    Immediately cancel the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. On the nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can remove your superfluous object and continue to work (until next time).

    It does not always work. But it is faster than a reboot when it does.
