• How, in Illustrator CS5, select all objects with the three points (or nodes)?

  I'm fairly new to Illustrator, but it seems like it should be simple.  (It's trivial in CorelDraw X 4: after selecting an object with three knots, I go to Edition > search and replace > find objects > find objects that correspond to the currently selected object and navigate the menus left.)

  In Illustrator CS5, select options > identical do not seem to include the selection of all objects with the same number of nodes under the currently selected object.

  A double click on the magic wand tool also does not provide such an option.

  Thanks for any help.

  PS also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, for example, how to select all objects with three points * and * the current fill color.

  I'm afraid that you have better luck with the number of anchor Point.

• handle Bezier lost in the closure of path with the tool pen

  Can anyone of you teach me please how to avoid losing the first point Bezier handle backward when closing a path with the pen tool?

  

  It is a nuisance for a long time for me, but I can't exclude that I simply failed to find the right way to disable this behavior.

  In addition, C:

  For my own use, I wrote some Javascript AI, JET_CloseSelectedPaths.jsx, which closes a path in the way that narrow box that FreeHand is for pre-existing incoming handles.

  

  Read the descriptions on the page, and you will find a few others in the same collection, which even use workaround for things that FH users take for granted about two decades ago. (Illustrator only devout, of course, should stay away from them because, you know, they use HAVE for a long time, so I should not em.)

• Illustrator CS5 - black lines along all paths

  I'm fairly new to Illustrator, so maybe it's something incredibly simple and obvious, but it has been driving me crazy for the last hour. My google searches have been so completely sterile.

  My problem is that on one of my files (a simple logo I work), all roads have a black line along them. It is not the parameters of the race, which was the only thing I could think that could be, many of the paths have features on them, and the good race shows, but with a black line on top of it. The lines appear in the exported files, or when the files are open in photoshop, but the black lines do not appear when I isolate paths.

  If anyone can help me with this, it would be highly appreciated (and save tear my hair out me)

  The extra loop can also have been applied within the group or level of the layer in order to check that also.

• Illustrator text on a path with a gradient from top to bottom?

  Try to get a gradient to text on a wavy path.

  I found problems / very similar answers, but not quite this one...

  I'm creating a poster. There the text of PROGRAM of COMPOSTING MUNICIPAL BACKYARD (2 lines, backyard CITED above, then of COMPOSTING PROGRAM below)

  The text has a light brown dark brown gradient running up and down on the whole text.

  The text is on a green background.

  They now want the green background to be a banner wave, and the text is inside the banner and follow the wavy shape of the banner.

  And of course that the gradient must follow the wavy form of the text, so the tops of letters are the same light brown and the bottom of all the letters are the same despite Brown, dark letters are flowing up and down along the wavy shape of the banner.

  I received my text as a result of the wave of the banner, and I have a version with the text now changed to the railways (and a composite path because it's two lines), but of course when I apply the gradient, the gradient runs directly through the letters instead of follow the wave.

  Is there a way to do this? I found a method of creating a mixture and stroke following forms apply it as an accident, but not what I have to do here.

  Thank you!

  Quoz,

  I think it is easier and better use a combination of follows, with the two curved lines of direct Type (especially if they have Anchor Points (numbers of) correspondent):

  (A) direct select both the path of nofill who wear both sets of Type, then Ctrl / Cmd + X + B to bring to the back, then give them a fill and lock the Type of path together.

  (B) attach the ends of the two lines so that they form a something like a distorted rectangle (you can select directly the end corresponding units);

  (1) object > path > offset path by the distance down to the top of the text up/down the low text, this should give you a closed path extra with straight segments end;

  ((2) directly select the straight end of the segments and remove them with the winding of B rectangle), this should give you a line of top and a bottom line.

  (3) give up and down the color that you want at the top of the letters above and below the letters down, the lines then object > mix > blend Options, with the smooth settings and align on the track, this should give you the transition of color behind the original lines;

  (4) to unlock, then select the two curved lines of the Type and the object > compound path > make if not already;

  (5) select the Type (Path) alive and the color transition and object > clipping mask > make.

• Help InDesign CS5.5 - lines that appear for level photos/text areas

  I work on our newsletter and lines that apear usually (believing they were blue) to make sure that my text/images different boxes are the same distance a part, or the same height/level, appear no more. I looked everywhere in the 'view' but do not know what they are called, and nothing seems to turn them back on.

  Help, please!

  They are called the "guides" and are invisible in preview mode.

  View-> Display Mode-> Preview for "I want to see how it will look in the press, more or less" and view-> Display Mode-> Normal for "Now give back me my guides and grids and the contours of the block."

  Browse the view-> grids & Guides and view-> Extras for all the other stuff that you can turn on and off in Normal mode.

• Illustrator CS5: Color box appears with the question marks?

  Here's my problem:

  

  The path highlighted in green is supposed to be black, but as you can see in the second picture it's in a light shade of black. When I click on the fill and race boxes to change its color, color of the channel will not change. If I tried to change it in pink, for example, the path will remain grey or becoming another shade of gray. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

  The exclamation mark occurs when you have two or more selected objects that have different fills and/or strokes applied. If you then click a new color, it will be applied to all. Have you tried using the button clear aspect at the bottom of the appearance Panel (or the appearance Panel dialog box)?

• Illustrator CS5 has more options available specific tools (area of framing, etc..)

  Yesterday, I was able to use the drop down menu tool options for the selections, including the magnetic lasso tool, the polygonol lasso tool, all the selection tools of text scrolling and fast (as in photoshop) selection tool that I use for several months now, still today, all these tools have disappeared. Instead I don't have the magic wand and lasso tool. No one touched my computer since yesterday, I have reset my workspace, toolbars, I checked the keyboard shortcuts window and these tools are no longer an option. I have reset my screen resolution. Nothing. Perhaps my system has been updated automatically? If so, that is the worst update since the tools I used (especially the marquee tool) are no longer available, and instead of this, I have two that I've never used that have features limited (as opposed to yesterday). I tried to make the chat support online, to which I was redirected to the telephone line. From there on, I was told that I would get any support. Help, please. I NEED MY SELECTION TOOL.

  magnetic lasso, lasso... tool polygonol tool? ! never existed in illy. only the lasso tool... ?

• How to extrude a path created with the tool pen

  Hi all

  I created a path with the tool pen (part Brown) and now I want to extrude, but output is the set containing the block (see image below)

  Now, I have tried everything, from the grouping of transparent traces, etc., but nothing works.

  How to extrude my way?

  Thank you

  

  It is because you applied an effect hatched the path before extrusion it. You are effectively 'extrusion' the raster image, which is a rectangle.

  Don't, don't. Apply the frame effect to a rectangle and store that as a symbol. Give the desired path to extrude a simple filling and extrude. Then use the veneering of 3D effect feature to map the symbol to the desired surface.

  I think you might be the bad parameter for iSCSIID, take a look at the comment left on this blog post by Scott Lowe: http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/06/29/esx-iscsi-basic-configuration-from-the-cli/

  It seems that you must pass in the vmhba, new since vmware-vim-cmd is not supported by VMware, it's not very well documented and unfortunately I haven't played with this specific option myself, but it looks like it was possible.

  Also in looking at vmkiscsi-tool, have you taken a glance at the subcomands:

  Subcommands
                 -l --list
                 -r --remove
                 -a --add
                 -m --authMethod : specify method for add/remove
                 -b --mutual CHAP
                 -j --persist changes
                 -y --dynamic discovery CHAP
                 -x --static discovery CHAP
                 -f --flag: set a discovery or authentication flag
                 adapterName
  

  Looks like param m would allow you to activate the CHAP protocol, and I guess that's the argument... I only raise this question because the vCLI esxcfg-iscsi has similar params and I guess it should be similar to the version of the SC but do not know if this applies only to software iSCSI vs.

• Need help with major problems of export in Illustrator CS5!

  Hello
  I hope someone here can help me,
  I've been using illustrator to create mockups of websites to show to potential clients for a few weeks now.
  I create art and then export > PNG, then use these PNG files in Photoshop to add photos, before their merger all together in a single PDF file.

  My problem is:
  Now all of a sudden, I can't export in PNG.

  An old file have, or create a new one
  I spend, choose my options, then on the little colored loading slider rises,.
  as if it made export, but when I go to the location of the file, there is only a temp file it.
  I let it run for a good 5-10 minutes (this isn't a very graphic-intensive work, so it should not take anywhere NEAR as long)

  But nothing ever happens! And then I come back to illustrator, and it's still the thing of loading,
  and it seems to be frozen, because I can't click on anything, so I have to force quit.

  -> Also, I just realized the same thing happens when I try to use Stylize effects! After that I tried to add an outer glow, the loading icon appears and then nothing happens...

  I know there are probably other ways to do what im trying to do, I tried except for the web options, the screen with the options wont even load, and then it freezes.

  This could be important - I can still save as an illustrator file and export to a JPG file.

  I took my macbook from Apple today, they checked my hardware, apparently its all fine
  but they have wiped the system, so I reinstalled from time machine,
  I deleted my preferences (I think), but im still getting the same problem!

  PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME! :'(

  (my specs: Mac OSX Lion, Adobe Illustrator CS 15.0.2 - Let me know if you need more information)

  Apple has decided to hide the library user with OS10.7 folder. You can get to it using the menu.

  Quit Illustrator.

  One method...

  In the Finder, choose go > go to folder and type "~ / library ' (without the quotes) and click OK.

  Your library folder will open.

  Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings

  Move this folder of settings on your desktop.

  Restart Illustrator, and try to export again.

  If it works as expected, you can trash the settings folder on your desktop.

  As you clear preferences, items like Scratch disk settings need to be reconfigured in Illustrator, if you changed the default settings for them.

  Second method...

  Hold down Command-Option-shift when you start Illustrator.

  Preferences will be deleted.

  You will not get any kind of dialogue or the window confirm this, it happens.

  Because of two methods.

  Method you are allowed to file return parameters if your problem is not cured by deleting. It also lets you replace the elements in the new settings file that is created (as work spaces).

• need help with illustrator cs5

  Hi everyone... the first time on a forum and I hope someone can help. I use illustrator cs5 on OSx snow leapard. I design wings, following a demo and when I get to the part where I'm supposed to use the tool to reflect, I just grief. First the reflect tool dialog box has two windows in the part... patterns of options or objects. I'm supposed to be able to uncheck these, but they are shaded out and uneditable. Second when I try to take into account my wing, press the option key to copy, the program seems to return my wing and give me a vision of what would be the back of the wing, not a reflection. My boyfriend and I had a good time trying to understand what is the problem but nothing helped... I hope someone can help... Josephine Star.

  Josephine,

  generally, we can download images, for example .jpg or .gif files, by clicking on the camera icon that is located in the toolbar at the top of the editor of the forum. You can choose an image on your hard drive in order to download it.

• Help with the tool pen when moving CS5.1 to CC

  I never use PS, but still did not used to the tool pen in CC, especially when compared to CS5.1.

  I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how do things!

  In CS5.1 I could draw a path with the pen tool, then command-drag on the line between two points to change the shape of the path between these two points. In CC when I ordered-drag path of shape changes but made the way across two points, I am working on.

  In CS5.1 only the length of the handles Bezier control altered, in CC length and angle of the altered control handles, which affects the path I want to change.

  So what I am doing wrong? I use the pen and the path a lot and I'll have to go back to CS5.1 to do any series and complex path works because I can not familiarize themselves with the new CC pen tool. Help!

  Also, with the Direct Selection tool selected see if checking force path by dragging in the options toolbar makes a difference.
