How to create holes through several layers?

I would like to use boxes to drill holes in the work in layers below them. I want the result to look exactly like this image, but with the white boxes in transparent holes.

It seems so simple, but I can't find any combination of forms of tools/compounds of layers/pathfinder / or clipping masks that will produce this result. No matter what, I end up losing a part of the work (usually the topo lines and the black bar).

What Miss me?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

mirvlem,

You can:

(1) select the boxes to become of the holes and object > Group (if already nort);

(2) to select the entire document and in transparency, palette flyout check do with unchecked with Clip opacity mask and invert the mask ticked.

There seems to be no need of multiple layers, but the opacity mask pierces through them all right.

  • How to create a stack of layers in ps

    After reading some articles online, I'm still uncertain on how to create a stack of layers so I can edit each layer and paint ect then collapse of the final image

    Click on the thumbnail of the layer at the bottom of the layers panel for each layer. Add something, change if necessary. Layer 3 is the "selected layer" and which will be published. Once completed, the menu layer > Flatten Image.

    I usually keep the master not flattened and save a copy flattened for the client in the case where they ask for changes.

  • change anti-aliasing effect through several layers of text?

    Hi, this might be a weird, but I was wondering if it is possible to change the anti-aliasing of 'pointed' to 'strong' through multiple layers of text. I have exported an illustrator strongly stratified as a .psd file preserving the editability of the text, but am really unhappy that the default value is 'pointed' to both the letters and the kerning. Maybe there is something I should be doing in illustrator before exporting? Select and change the effect of anti-aliasing of the type on each of these layers (there are many) is going to be tedious.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    With the type tool active, select the layers that must change in the layers panel (SHIFT - and control - click on them to highlight at the same time). Then simply change the smoothing parameters in the options bar, and all the layers should change. It works (at least) CS2, 3 and 4.

    You can even use Select menu > all layers if you are really changing all of them.

  • What is the best practice to block through several layers sizes: hardware and hypervisor VM OS?

    The example below is not a real Setup, I work with, but should get the message. Here's my example of what I'm doing as a reference layer:

    (LAYER1) Hardware: The hardware RAID controller

    • -1 TB Volume configured in the 4K block size. (RAW)?


    (Layer2) Hypervisor: Data store ESXi

    • -1 TB of Raid Controller formatted with VMFS5 @ block size of 1 MB.


    Layer (3) the VM OS: Server 2008 R2 w/SQL

    • -100 GB virtual HD using NTFS @ 4 K for the OS block size.
    • -900 GB virtual HD set up using NTFS @ 64 K block size to store the SQL database.

    It seems that vmfs5 is limited to only having a block size of 1 MB. It would be preferable that all or part of the size of the blocks matched on different layers and why or why not? What are the different block sizes on other layers and performance? Could you suggest better alternative or best practices for the sample configuration above?

    If a San participated instead of a hardware on the host computer RAID controller, it would be better to store the vmdk of OS on the VMFS5 data store and create an iSCSI separated THAT LUN formatted to a block size of 64 K, then fix it with the initiator iSCSI in the operating system and which size to 64 K. The corresponding block sizes through layers increase performance or is it advisable? Any help answer and/or explaining best practices is greatly appreciated.

    itsolution,

    Thanks for the helpful response points.  I wrote a blog about this which I hope will help:

    Alignment of partition and blocks of size VMware 5 | blog.jgriffiths.org

    To answer your questions here, will:

    I have 1 TB of space (around) and create two Virutal Drives.

    Virtual Drive 1-10GB - to use for OS Hyper-visiere files

    Virtual Drive 2 - 990 GB - used for the storage of data/VM VMFS store

    The element size of default allocation on the Perc6 / i is 64 KB, but can be 8,16,32,64,128,256,512 or 1024 KB.

    What size block would you use table 1, which is where the real hyper-visiere will be installed?

    -> If you have two tables I would set the size of the block on the table of the hypervisor to 8 KB

    What block size that you use in table 2, which will be used as the VM data store in ESXi?

    ->, I'd go with 1024KO on VMFS 5 size

    -Do you want 1024KO to match the VMFS size which will be finally formatted on top he block?

    -> Yes

    * Consider that this database would eventually contain several virtual hard drives for each OS, database SQL, SQL logs formatted to NTFS to the recommended block, 4K, 8K, 64K size.

    -> The problem here is THAT VMFS will go with 1 MB, no matter what you're doing so sculpture located lower in the RAID will cause no problems but does not help either.  You have 4 k sectors on the disk.  RAID 1 MB, 1 MB invited VMFS, 4 k, 8K, 64 K.   Really, 64K gains are lost a little when the back-end storage is 1 MB.

    If the RAID stripe element size is set to 1 024 Ko so that it matches the VMFS 1 MB size of block, which would be better practice or is it indifferent?

    -> So that's 1024KB, or 4 KB chucks it doesn't really matter.

    What effect this has on the OS/Virtual HD and their sizes respective block installed on top of the tape and the size of block VMFS element?

    -> The effect is minimal on the performance but that exists.   It would be a lie to say that he didn't.

    I could be completely on the overall situation of the thought, but for me it seems that this must be some kind of correlation between the three different "layers" as I call it and a best practice in service.

    Hope that helps.  I'll tell you I ran block size SQL and Exchange time virtualized without any problem and without changing the operating system.  I just stuck with the standard size of microsoft.  I'd be much more concerned by the performance of the raid on your server controller.  They continue to do these things cheaper and cheaper with cache less and less.  If performance is the primary concern then I would consider a matrix or a RAID5/6 solution, or at least look at the amount of cache on your raid controller (reading is normally essential to the database)

    Just my two cents.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thank you

  • Dynamic filters that mix through several layers?

    Anyone know if this is possible? I would like to use dynamic - or something - filters for filters in a way that is applied to the lower layers of the stack and cumulative. It's been a few versions that I really sank my teeth in the deeper parts of the mixing layer. I was wondering if this is possible. I know how to simulate the effect smart masking and lots of filters, I was just wondering if it is implemented in a more interactive way.

    For example, I would like to create a hidden (white box below) Gaussian blur effect and layer it with other Gaussian blur effect layers upward so that their effect where they overlap is cumulative (blue box). Basically, I would like the area of the effect to be a widget live, furniture and be able to organize these widgets dynamically.

    Make sense? Is this a feature request? Or is it one of those things ' oh man that has been in Photoshop since 3.0, you didn't know?

    effect-masks.jpg

    No, dynamic filters work on a single smart object - but that Smart Object can contain multiple layers.

    Filtering as an adjustment layer doesn't work too well - math make it is too slow too quickly.

  • How to pass the screen several layers at once? (as a "whipe" - effect)

    I'm quite new to Adobe After Effects and I have the following chalange:

    -J' have many layers (imported AI)

    -I want all these layers to move off screen (as if they fly on the screen)

    How can I do that easily? To do this by hand (to select all the layers and individually defining their position with time markers) is a lot of work)

    Thank you!

    Edit: I want to keep their relative positions

    Use a Null object, and all your layers to her parents. OR precomp all these layers in another publication. I'm on an iPad if not I will add Help links. But look for Null and precomp or nesting. It will be useful.

  • How to cut text through several objects?

    Here is exactly what I'm doing:

    I have a graph of blue that I superposed horseshoe a purple on Ribbon.  On the Ribbon, I typed 'Celebrating 40 years.' I want to cut this text through the Ribbon AND the Horseshoe in order to make transparent and has the color of the white background without having to actually use white as the color.

    After searching online, I thought that I thought about it. I selected the text and converted to outlines.  I selected it and the part of the text Ribbon was on and is gone to the pathfinder and less before.

    It worked partially. The text essentially cut through a layer and partly taken from the background color white. However, the Ribbon graph has dark purple corners where it folds which still shows the text that sits above it AND the part of the text that was still on the blue Horseshoe now showed through in blue.

    How can I get the text to cut through all this is on top of. I tried to select all, then the text as outlines and the hit before, but this does not work. I'm certainly not a pro Illustrator all the instructions step by step would be much appreciated.

    Shannon,

    You can just use black direct Type (no need to describe) on top of all that you want to cut through, and then select all of the items whose Type (celebration of 40 years) and in the Transparnecy palette dialog box click on the opacity mask to do with two Clip and mask Invert unchecked.

    You might also get away with just using white Type, which means no impression, but the reverse is safer, and you can see what you have found.

  • How to acquire data through several channels in parallel using E 6070 PXI, PXI-4071 and LabVIEW?

    Hello

    I use LabVIEW and NI PXI-4071 PXI NOR 6070E to measure the current through a variable resistance. Now, I use a single channel of SCB - 68, but I want to add another channel at the same time so that I can have two resistors instead of one that I cam measure current through them.

    I have attached a Pdf file showing installation of equipment to use and code LabVIEW also.

    Can someone look at these files and give me some guidelines or ideas that can help me solve this problem, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

    Shaheen.

    Your 4071 can do a measure at a time. Your data acquisition cannot measure resistance is not she of the analog inputs.

    However, you could use a multiplexer and multiplexer your 4071 DMM. This habit give you simultaneous action, but can acquire data one after the other, the speed depends on the multiplexer, you choose!

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I create holes plated copper with and ring finger with Ultiboard 13 (PTH or compatible Pin Hole)?

    I am a new user of Ultiboard 13 (Windows7 64 bit). I see how to create holes in a circuit printed (with the option of annular ring), but I don't think that the hole is copper plate. Hole diameter specification is relatively obvious, but it doesn't seem to be a way to define the thickness of the plating through hole plated (if it's at all the possible). Finally, I would like to create footprint requiring approximately 150 holes of PTH in 2-pin compatible with different sizes (for a single connector!). Any help with this would be fantastic!

    Thank you very much! That's what I was looking for.

  • How batches several layers to JPEG

    I have more than 500 layers of different texts on a simple background image. I need to navigate in each of these layers, visibility only and the bottom, and then do the same for the next and save each one out as a separate .jpeg. I know how batch JPEG images, each giving a different file name, but how can I move through the layers?

    Thank you.

    Layers of export to files would not choose the background as well as each layer layer, but this script will...

    The solution is a very useful shortcut, but requires a bit of dexterity.

    Of is it: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + e. (Yes, 4 keys at the same time).

    This creates a new layer that is the fusion of visible layers.

    To be on the top layer and don't have ensure that active useful layers.

  • Is there a tool or function (in Illustrator or InDesign) that selects any form and 'punches' a 'hole' of this form down through several objects for the paper or the work plan?

    Is there a tool or function (in Illustrator or InDesign) that selects any form and 'punches' a 'hole' of this form down through several objects for the paper or the work plan?

    Your objects punch must be in a large group; It will cut through all that is below.

    Create the shape you want to cut and set it to black Uni. Select your group and your form and (in the transparency palette), click make mask.

    Uncheck the Clip, and then return to the palette.

  • How to create a Global Variable through the Project Explorer

    Hello world!

    I know how to create a global variable (in a vi through the range of functions...).

    but I'm missing a way to create one via the Project Explorer.

    It's a missing feature or just this documentation (and the intuition of myself) are missing?

    It would be very convenient.

    THX for your time and hope that answers.

    EDIT: although I agree with Gerd (he probably wondering why you need so we can recommend a better way ), I rarely use them in easy to write once - read many applications such as security levels overall program at initialization (VER) to read later, but NOT modified.  I know it would be better to make a good class, functional Global Variable (FGV) or a motor Action (AE) but globals ARE practical and safe IF used wisely.

  • How to create several classes of cascade?

    Goal: Create the button to start and stop the service.

    Situation: One button works.

    However, whenever I click on another button, the button does not work.

    Question: how to create several classes of cascade?

    or something wrong in my code?

    Mini code:

    Calls a CPP QML.

    ApplicationUI::ApplicationUI (bb::cascades:Application * app): QObject (app)

    {
    QmlDocument * qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);

    CameraWrapper * wrapper = new CameraWrapper();

    QML-> setContextProperty ('wrapper', wrapper);

    AbstractPane * root = qml->() createRootObject;
    App-> setScene (root);
    }

    And then, QML calls another RPC.

    import bb.cascades 1.0

    {Page}
    {Of container
    layout: {DockLayout}
    }
    Button {}
    text: qsTr ("Start")
    onClicked: {}
    wrapper.startRec ();
    }
    }
    Button {}
    text: qsTr ("Stop")
    onClicked: {}
    wrapper.stopRec ();
    }
    }
    }
    }

    The main CPP:

    #include "cam.hpp".

    using namespace bb::cascades;

    {CameraWrapper::CameraWrapper()}

    int CameraWrapper::startRec() {}

    This button works.

    }

    int CameraWrapper::stopRec() {}

    This button does not work.

    }

    The main.hpp

    Class CameraWrapper: public QObject
    {
    Q_OBJECT
    public:
    CameraWrapper();
    Virtual ~ CameraWrapper() {}

    Q_INVOKABLE
    int startRec();
    int stopRec();
    };

    Thank you for your attention,

    Finally, we use the thread to solve the problem.

    Solution:

    loopWrapper (void * test) {void *}
    CameraWrapper * a = (CameraWrapper *) test;
    a-> startRec();
    return null;
    }

    setFlagWrapper (void * test) {void *}
    CameraWrapper * b = (CameraWrapper *) test;
    b-> setFlagFalse)
    return null;
    }

    void * CameraWrapper::setFlagFalse (void * arg) {}
    exit_application = false;
    fprintf (stderr, "Flag changed to false\n");
    return arg;
    }

    void CameraWrapper::runLoop() {}
    pthread_create (& thread_a, NULL, & loopWrapper, (void *) this);
    }

    void CameraWrapper::runSetFlag() {}
    pthread_create (& thread_b, NULL, & setFlagWrapper, (void *) this);
