Export DXF with polylines

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.

  • 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...

  • Export DNxHD with 8 channels audio multi... Problem! the final file only stereo all mixed with 6 empty strings.

    I export DNxHD with 8 channels audio multi... My problem is that the final file all mixed in the first 2 stereo channels with the channels empty rest 6.

    I'm lost on what could be the problem.

    The main audio channel is 8 channels... NO stereo.
    Export, I chose DNxHD and audio 48000 Hz with 8 output channels


    What could this be? I need to deliver a film with the 8 mono channels.

    Really appreciate all the thoughts/help!

    Thank you

    Christian

    That's how I would implement mixer in CS6's using a sequence of 8 track with 8 mono channels (mono channels using maintains levels matching, stereo and standard tracks can cause differences in level of 3db). Note the Red output channel selection and the panpot position indicated in blue.

  • Rendering and export failed with an unknown error because of the color of Lumetri?

    I am rendering & export failures with an 'unknown error' code within Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.  I think that the problem is related to the Lumetri color filter that is widely used in all of the timeline.  There are hundreds of clips and each clip has 2-4 color filters Lumetri applied.  Each clip also has the red giant Cosmo and filter FilmConvert Pro 2.36.1 coming to overlap (visually underneath by order of effects filters Panel) all filters from Lumetri.  The reason why I believe that the problem is related to the Lumetri color filter is that it is the first time that I use.  Previously, I used the filter red giant Colorista III coloring, but last week decided to try using the Lumetri color for the same effect.

    Please let me know if anyone has had similar experiences, what were their solutions, or if someone has some ideas on how to solve this problem.  I would really appreciate the help!

    23.976 fps

    CUDA Mercury Render Engine

    Length of the sequence: 14:30

    I have discovered a workaround of sorts.  I noticed that when rendered in PP he would make progress before a failure (the green line that precedes the timeline would get a little longer).  If I saved this progress and rebooted the system, then tried to make it again, it would make a little further.  I've done this dozens of times for 4 hours make completely a 14:30 long sequence.

    I noticed doing this routine that my CPU was maxxed on all rendered.  Resource monitor reported the use of CPU to 143% continuous (all other indicators RAM, disk speed, etc. were well under their maximums).  This brings me to suspect that maybe there is a problem with overheating of the CPU.  But who would be closed for the entire system, correct?

    Once the entire sequence has been made (all the green lines above clips) I tried export by using the "Use preview files" option enabled.  Failure again.  I tried export uncompressed AVI, Quicktimes and PNG sequences.  All have failed.  I tried to export to PP as well as TEA.  The two have not.  I tried to export with option 'To make maximum quality' is enabled.  Surprisingly, this product the longest time encoding managed (32 minutes before failure).  As by chance, using the option of MRQ kept my CPU loads sawtoothing between 100% and 75%, then maybe there's something to the CPU overheating theory?

    In an ultimate attempt desperate to save my video project (looming deadlines!) I divided the sequence of Assembly in five servings (I cut on the melted white or fade-to-black transitions) and exported to each of them.  This copy export times within 20 minutes.  It worked.

    I noticed this another Adobe Forums thread that seems to speak of the similar difficulties with effects of Lumetri in Creative Cloud 2015.  Perhaps the Lumetri effects are not ready for prime time?

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1236018?start=0 & tstart = 0

    Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on this.  In the meantime, I'll wind up this project and never use Lumetri effects again.

    Hello Kevin,

    Thank you for offering help to solve this problem.

    I was able to export the majority of the sequence with all the Lumetri effects, red giant and FilmConvert mixed in clips.  After the sequence using the tedious method described above I segmented the sequence in the quarterfinals; all exported except one.  I divided it into two; Another exported doesn't have.  I cut half too, once again only half exported without failure.  I finally reduced the embarrassing part until a second sequence clips 35; an interview with green screen with superimposed titles and superposition of b-roll clips.

    I removed all the effects of the Lumetri of these clips and replaced by Red Giant Colorista III effects, which are very similar to the effect of Lumetri in the GUI and application.  The sequence made completely without "unknown error."  Then it was exported successfully (and used about 70% when compared to more CPU activity 110% with the Lumetri to export).

    The difference would be that the effect of color of Lumetri has this YUV icon next to it in the effect controls panel?  Which means that YUV?

    The problem is perhaps not totally related to the color of Lumetri effect (as I said, I was able to export the majority of the 14:30 sequences use, although gradually by segmentation of the sequence into smaller portions), but if the move is a solution then I'll use it.

    I lost a day to fix this.  If this thread is useful to someone else, then it was worthwhile.

  • Export MXF with several audio channels for broadcasting

    Hello

    I work in a company of broadcasting as a Publisher. We have always used FCP with the free plugin sony xdcam to export. This plugin seems to be one of the few ways to export a MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.

    Given that our workload has increased significantly in recent months and it will no longer are optimizing our workflow. We also work with many different endboards in After Effects, and we made a nice model to work with. And since AE and first can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.

    Now the question arises! : the only obstacle that we could not find a response to export it with 4 audio channels as a MXF of first CS5. Will there be the development on this level for CS6?

    A solution to this should save us a lot of time!

    Any help will be very appreciated!

  • Export DXF character missing in systematically defined designation ($DWGCODEPAGE undefined)

    Hi everyone, I was wondering that if someone knows how to fix this problem I have - whenever I'm exporting an Illustrator file in format .dxf, it defines the $DWGCODEPAGE character as "not defined", which causes the file to be displayed in my Finder as a thumbnail of the document text instead of the correct icon of DXF. I discovered that if I manually insert a set of characters (UTF8, ANSI_1252, etc.) instead of "undefined" in the text document, the file passes to the correct icon.

    I will be selling my work as DXF and want to ensure that any person who receives sees the correct identification icon (and that the file works correctly of course). Is it possible to get the default value of Illustrator for anything other than "undefined" (so I don't have to change it manually every time I have save/update an export?)

    Thanks much for any help you could give!

    Nevermind - found!

    In case someone else needs, here is a link that explains how to search and replace text in multiple documents (so solve my problem above): Find & Replace text in multiple Documents from the command line

    It is interesting to note that, when I was experimenting with the above command sequence, it has worked and changed the icon to the appropriate icon dxf. Experimenting, I've changed the game undefined return of UTF8 character set, and the icon of the file dxf remained the SAME in the Finder. Weird. Anyway, problem solved.

  • Export batch with conversion

    Greetings,

    To maintain space in my photo library from iCloud, I decided to convert some of my RAW to JPEG images then delete the iCloud RAW images and then download the JPEG images. My originals is on Mac and on iCloud.

    I created a Smart Album of my RAW images. I've then exported to a file with the following parameters:

    In a hundred of these images have not converted properly. Here is an example:

    Needless to say, I double checked the original RAW images and there is nothing wrong with them. I confirmed this by selecting these images that have not exported correctly and exporting again. The exported to JPEG without problem.

    If anyone else has experienced this? I posted this info to the comments of the Apple as well.

    Thank you

  • Data merge problem - bad values when exporting PDF with "All folders" only

    Hi - I have the weirdest problem with InDesign: I use merge data from .csv to create a deck of cards (9 per page), and when I export to PDF from the data merge Panel, one of my field has erroneous data: it uses values from previous records and which repeat.

    What is strange, is that when the noticed, all right. Is also very good if I create a merged Document and PDF export. Is also very good if I export to PDF using just the range of entries it is play: I don't get that wrong data if export as PDF, "All records" in the data merge Panel.  Very frustrating!

    Someone saw? I feel that my data is ok, if the export of individual records is very well...

    Cheers for any help.

    Thank you! Which has me on the path to what looks like a fix...

    Copy all the fields in a new file does not solve the problem - the same behavior, but after the start of charges, I started to adjust the sizes of the fields and stumbled upon a possible solution.

    A field that trouble is a text box for a single digit, if limits are quite small. The name of the field for example placeholder. > is bigger and complained of cut-off text.  Increase the limits of the text box to be at least the size of the reliable placeholder text solves the problem. It decreases the size of a single digit... back of the problem.

    How weird.

    Thanks Peter.

  • Export puff with markers for large/long file

    Environment: Adobe CC, office computer Dell, nVidia GTX 980-ti, 8 hearts w / HT, 32 GB of RAM, 70 + TB in several external speakers RAID.

    I produce long videos on a weekly basis.  My workflow includes multitrack editing in AU, then FILE/EXPORT/MULTITRACK MIXDOWN with markers of AIFF, that I then import into PR.  I did this successfully for at least a year.  Recently, my exports with markers seem to work OK, as measured by no error message to the or Pr and the presence of a ridge of 2 MB file, but the markers do not appear in the PR.  If I export selection AU the first 5 minutes of the file to the 3 hours time, the markers appear in the PR.  If I have to the export segments of time selection 3 1 hour markers appear in the PR.  They do not appear in Pr, however, if I export the entire session of 3 hours.

    Thoughts anyone?

    Yes, WAV files should perform better when moving from AU-> PR.

    I think that the only way to have markers in a going to the PR AIFF file would be if the marker type was not cue marker (cue markers are stored in the native "cue" song in WAV files and native marker piece in AIFF).  Other types of markers such as clip markers void is not a place to go in the specifications of original file, then they go into the block of XMP (XMP is an open metadata created by Adobe platform).  For the types of files that we do not know how to store markers native in the place of origin (e.g. we do not support the Vorbis comment markers yet) then Cue markers will be in XMP and transfer along the first.  Other factors that come into play are the codec in the file. Depending on the codec you use in the AIFF file (specifically, AIFF-C), then we could export this file in another plugin that does not do the native marker reconciliation, but on the contrary always store all markers in the XMP block.

    So I don't think that the size of the file should play in it. There may always be a bug you not yet understand that you met, but it is difficult to say no way to reproduce your problem.
