How to disperse objects grouped in Illustrator?

Hello. I have a map of the State which consists of individual vectors from each county in the State. They are grouped together. I want to make it seem as if that there is more space between each of the counties as if there they all were separated just slightly more than. Type of air out them. Tere is there a way I can do this effectively in Illustrator I work in the 6 CS on a mac.

Thank you

David in Texas

Thinking, if each county is a single line, all you have to do is ungroup and use "object > transform > transform each. This will scale each object or group from this point, keep the relative position of each central same County.

  • How to resize objects simultaneously

    Hello

    I posted a question in the past on how to transform objects simultaneously in Illustrator, and the answer had to do with the help of "transform each" in the menu object. I'm trying to do the same thing in Indesign, but since there is no other choice "transform each" (or maybe I just missed it, or something similar there), I'm looking for another way...

    I have arrows heads in a diagram which must be scaled down 50% in their current size. The problem with scaling, it's that when all items are selected, they are treated as if they were a large object and then set the scale so that they all meet in the Center (ie. 50% their size, they all spend together as photo would scale). Is it possible to do so that the arrow heads remain in place after each of them is scaling upwards or downwards?

    I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Yes. Choose one to scale and then the rest and

  • How to remove the complex vector illustration of object in indesign?

    I have a background colored with hundreds of little dots made in illustrator. I have grouped together and stuck in object in indesign. Now I regret it and I want to withdraw again - but I can't get hold of it as an image, but have to return every little point by himself. Is it possible to get the whole group illustrator thing or release the object somehow? Or I should just learn that I need to make a file pdf or something in illustrator and paste that into the object?

    Hi hege,.

    It should be possible to select the container framework that you pasted the Group and to access the menu:

    Object / selection / table of contents to select this group and remove it.

    Also by using the layers panel to select the Group stuck to the inside and remove it.
    (InDesign CS5 and above)

    Something else, if it is really an object group, is to select one of the items in the group, then press the ESC key to select the whole group.

  • How to keep objects together on original blueprints?

    I have been recently moved from a Mac to a PC and am learning Illustrator on the new computer. I can't figure out how to keep objects of Group on their original layers.

    Illustrator does not remember the layer when you group. Done freehand.

  • Trying to we object-group and PAT

    I try to configure dynamic PAT on a Cisco ASA 5510 with the help of a group of objects and difficulties.

    How to use a group object, which includes five subnets as the source for NATing to a dynamic address PAT?

    Hello

    Good if you have already created the Group of objects (say it's called internal_subnets)

    NAT must therefore:

    NAT interface Dynamics internal_subnets source (indoor, outdoor)

    In the last example, he'll get patted on the external interface, if you want it TAPE to a different IP address for the external interface simply create a host network object and use it on the NAT instead of the keyword interface.

  • Problem of groups Adobe Illustrator CS5.

    I work under windows xp using Adobe Illustrator CS5, and the problem is that when I have a some objects in an illustration of the Group and save this picture as a file * .ai, then send it to a customer who uses the MAC, the groups are getting involved. The customer has even sent me a screen captures, and the groups are REALLY involved.

    Some items that I initially gathered are not in the same group any more, some objects of a certain group who somehow became part of another group.

    I build my images on a single layer with multiple sublayers.

    Can the building illustrations with every single group on a separate layer to fix this? Am I missing something? This is the first time I encounter this kind of problem. Help, please.

    I remember never to happen, but it sounds like corruption to me. But I don't know if it is on your end or your customers.

    I use a mac and am will open your file and send you screenshots so that you can compare, if I open it fine then the problem is probably with your customer?

    But they might not like this.

    You can also try to send a pdf or a .ps file they can open the file directly .ps AI without distillation it.

  • How to scale objects in one layer with each object in the same position

    I have a card with symbols on it, placed exactly where they should be. Is it possible to scale all the objects in a layer or group to be bigger, but not treat them as a layer that is stretched to scale proportionally? Basically, how could I do each larger symbol as if each is to be climbed from their centres?

    I tried to select a layer so that each object is selected, and then transforming them (specifying a percentage of the scale). As a result, the objects are enlarged, but it produces the same results as a normal click and drag the corner alignment point. Any ideas?

    Object--> transform each. Each object / group object must be properly structured and selected individually.

    I can go overboard in creating groups of tabs. I say this because now my system begins to act a bit lazy. I created 7 groups, two of which have 9 or 10 tabs. Should I shoot the number of groups I create (as well as the way in which several tab located within each group). In other words: how much RAM tab groups use. How can I calibrate or understand the trade off between these markers and the amount of RAM they are using?

  • How the binary objects are sorted

    Live treatment image "IMAQ particle analysis" and "IMAQ MaskToROI.vi" returns the characteristics of binary objects detected in a specific order. My question is how objects are sorted before results are returned.

    Look at the following example. I'm totally confused why two screws returned the second object in the first row first?

    I was trying to get the centers of each object (and their contours) and assuming that they were sorted by their positions on the y-axis first and then positions itself on X. It is most of the time, until you see here on the first line. What happened here? Why the second object is sorted as the first object? HOW the binary objects are sorted anyway?

    I got it. It has to be sorted by the corner up and left of the rectangle of the object.
