Export DXF with Illustrator coordinates to the CAD software
Hello
I often have to export graphics from Illustrator CS5 to Catia, Pro Engineer.
Usually, if it's a chart that I made myself, everything I do is do drag the point 0,0 on my rules to the position on the work where I need the coordinate system to be included in the DXF file and that's fine.
However, recently, I have received files from other sources that need to be converted to PDF format to a DXF for my CAD software and I'm having difficulty to move the marker to the desired location.
For example, if I convert the PDF to DXF without moving my position 0,0 on my rules, the coordinate system is sometimes in upper left corner or lower left corner of the artboard the PDF was imported in Illy on. (It varies from file). So I thought that if I move the location 0,0 of my leaders to where I want the coordinate system to appear, it should work as it does usually work I have create. But it always gets crushed. The only way I can counter this is to assume that the coordinate system is hit - on the corner of the artboard and place all my works of art around the corner and then convert the DXF file.
I guess my question is, for those of you who have a similar task to do, it's the only way I can reinstall the coordinate system (by moving the work to the angle, which seems a bit dodgy cos it's all about support) or is there a more precise way to do.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're victims of alignment of Executive global eternally confused against leaders of the artboard in CS5. You will need to check the options on the artboard by using the tool of work plan to remedy that...

Hi all
I'm trying to deliver a photoshop graphic to my friend w / a PC and a CNC machine it will use to cut out my chart. Unfortunately, he has trouble opening the graphics that I send him, even though I tried all the standard formats (.pdf, .png, .tif, bpm). What he needs is a .dxf or .dwg file that I think... And there are tons of ".". "PDF to DWG converters" out there (I've downloaded several). Problem is, when I try to open my .pdf and then export and/or registered as a .dwg file, it saves in an empty file! When I reopen the .dwg file to check it out, there is nothing there.
For anyone who is interested to help me, here is a link to my photoshop file (it is reduced to 24 "tall and 48" wide):
Dropbox - TheSpaceCastle_Logo2.psd
And here is the PDF:
Dropbox - TheSpaceCastle_Logo2.pdf
Here I am pasting a .jpg image file: (the widget download told me that .pdf files are 'prohibited'... lol? It is a Forum of ADOBE. Why a .pdf file could not?)
Found the solution:
I had my friend vectorize my original FIRST file in Illustrator and created a .ai file. It was not a type of simple file conversion. Then, she saved the vector, that she created as a .dxf file. It is necessary to first vectorization.
I don't know the exact process, she used to vectorize the file, but I'm sure that it involved the tracing of the image and the creation of a new vector ('path' in Photoshop?).
I confirmed this morning with the designer CNC he managed to extract the file in the CAD software for its CNC machine, and it seems good.

If I started a project in first Cs5 and want to finish it in first Pro CC it causes problems exporting my sequence and get into the new software?
Better is to import the cs5 project in the new project of CC.
And Yes this could have problems, he could not.
I would have ended up in CS5. Export to the lossless format and encode with SOUL CC until the final destination.

Why Adobe's script docs as with Illustrator wave on the open Applescript file?
Since the script reference to Applescript, to Adobe's Illustrator (I believe is the same for other products too), I see snippets of example code as:
on openFile (fileToOpen)
Tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
activate
Open fileToOpen POSIX file as an alias with options
tell the end
end openFile
Why does he leave us to understand the value of fileToOpen (String)? Understandable that there's specific Applescript, but it's more work for those of us unfamiliar Applescript to do more research.
Is 'as alias' really necessary? I have problems with that. Omitting "as alias" gets Applescript error: "Adobe Illustrator has been an error: AppleEvent Manager failed." Keep 'as alias"results error saying that it cannot create alias path, which, for some reason, looks like it's in the Applescript path even if specified as POSIX format (e.g.": ~: Documents: Temp:someFile.ai "instead of" ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai ").
Tried the simple example
Open the POSIX file "~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai".
as well as
the pfile value ' ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai ' as a POSIX file
Open the pfile no options file
the value pfilepath ' ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai '
the pfile POSIX file pfilepath value
Open the pfile as alias without options
nothing seems to work so far. Such a pain.
That's kind of what I mentioned... she needed a file object

I need to export a dxf for a sign that I'll have done my illustrator logo. However, they said that illustrator exports using "splines" and they have change me my settings to export as "polylines." I have no idea how do and do not see it in my export options. I use Illustrator CS4... anyone have an idea? Thank you!
Jongware method works very well.
Object > path > simplify
Check the box straight lines
If the curve does not match the original in high zoom:
Object > path > add Anchor Points
Do this until it matches the original simplified form
I learned this with a very large plot detailed with hundreds of thousands of anchor points. It is important to use the minimum number of necessary anchor points. I've grouped each form separately to achieve this.
Note: it is best if your line width is set to 0.
When you export, in this case with groups of selected shapes, it is a good idea to open the file in AutoCAD, if you have it and flatten it (type flatten after selecting groups and press enter) the dxf and resave. Otherwise, separate all roads before the Save.
I tested with PDF and EPS files open in artificial intelligence.

Try this,
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myPDFFilePath = File("~/Desktop/abc.pdf")
If (myRBRange.value)
{
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = myList.text;
}
on the other
{
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
}
doc.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myPDFFilePath, false);

Trying to export DXF for use 'Robo Master Pro', get the description of invalid data.
Try to export a "DXF" file for use in the 'Robo Master Pro' software, tells me "invalid Data".
How can I fix it?
The error happens all by making export, or while trying to import?
As test try to delete some items, and save it as a copy until it works, yo can have a placed image or a certain type of object at the root of this. If you simply draw a rectangle on a new page in Illustrator, will this work?

New iMac with El Capitan blocks the first export
We bought this new iMac last year (2015) and it came with El Capitan. In addition, it cannot be demoted to an operating system previous x. driver problems. So after a few months first started crashing on the Adobe Media Encoder export. There are other bugs, but this one is debilitating. This works if you simply export but if you send to the SOUL, it blocks the two programs. I guess one of the latest Apple updates OS X caused this?
Hi Garrett:
I suppose that you change files from QuickTime movies, correct? What CODEC are you using? Apple has deprecated QuickTime for executives of Foundation AV. Thus, the operating system is more multimedia as processing time it used to. If your question is somehow associated with CODEC, you'll want to convert all your images source H264 or Apple ProRes (you may have noticed that QuickTime Player 10.4 OS x 10.11.5 does this automatically if necessary).
Maybe try the demo version of CC? If it works more as you'd expect, it's money well spent. Also, do you know that you can subscribe to just first Pro CC for $19.99 / month?
Another solution could be to Adobe Premiere Pro Elements, but also consult iMovie and Final Cut Pro X. iMovie should already be installed (as I am sure you are aware) and I think that Apple always offers a trial version of FCP X.

Synchronize the Adobe Capture CC with Illustrator
Hello people, I recently downloaded Adobe Capture CC and I don't know how to synchronize the images I took with the app with Illustrator. Can someone help me please?
Hi Maggiemoon,
The first stage of the synchronization of the images is to ensure that you are connected to the same Adobe account on both your mobile device running capture and your desktop computer running Illustrator.
The second step is to make sure you are looking at the library to Capture both in Illustrator. The default value is 'My library', but you can create your own.
The third step is to recognize what can be synchronized with Illustrator:
- Colours - will appear in Illustrator
- Forms - will appear as a graphic in Illustrator
- Brushes - will be displayed but are only available to use if you create the brush like a brush in Illustrator type - in this case otherwise they are greyed out
- Looks - will show up in Illustrator but are shaded a not available to use
Finally, the fourth step is to search in the libraries Panel in Illustrator (window > library). Make sure that the library is set to the one you want (in my example below, I show my library 'Around Town', here you can see the color themes, a brush, a shape and my appearance (which is not available for IT).)
I hope this helps!
