I can't find the inDesign right tools to produce my bike map.

I produce a mountain BIKE-trail map that has several different trails in the same area. In order to make a trail on top of the underlying image of the map, I used the pen tool and the path left open. I then turn off the fill color, choose a proper stroke color and width in order to make the path visible. This is a problem. Now, I don't have the option to give the path a black line, given that the function of the race has already been used to generate the color of the track itself.

How to fix this? I researched and found that Illustrator can handle several tracks but I much rather continue to work in inDesign if possible. Is there a way to simply 'draw' a path, then give it a fill color AND a shot?

Now, I made duplicates of the trails in a separate layer, did the black race and increased their width a little to give an effect of 'contour '. But it's a stupid approach this project develops and some trails change with time. I want to be as smart as possible at the beginning, saving time in the future.

And sometimes 2 or more trails to connect and follow the same path, where in this case I want to use a form of dotted lines that display multiple colors to the same path, indicating several ATV trails. Is it possible to make a few preset run that alternates between several colors?

Any help/advice about the design of cards is welcome. I'm quite new to inDesign, but spent a lot of time in Photoshop making brochures etc.


I try to add an image of the design, but the uploader of image forum greets me with "image type is forbidden." jpg, gif, both under 100 KB will not work.

I would like a link to the photo on my own domain, but I'm not sure if it's ok or not here.

To get the colors overlapping for several tracks on the same road, even in Illustrator, I think you would have to play by a solid line at the bottom, then stack the different features of a length rushed on so gaps reveal the dashes below. It's going to be capricious.

    What happened, you checked the box that says: "this document requires signatures" when you initially selected "tools > form to prepare." It makes a compatible form Adobe DC eSign Services (formerly EchoSign). To return to a normal AcroForm, that will repair the types of standard fields in the toolbar, select "more > return to the Acrobat form" in the pane to the right in form editing mode.

    Hey everyone, I need help with this one:

    I have a dual boot Win7 (x 64) / XP (x 86) on my laptop, but I can't find the right poster drivers for compatible video controller VGA on XP.

    Anyone know where I can find them?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A660 laptop - 12 p belongs to the PSAW3E series and it was equipped with the chip to display NVIDIA GeForce GT330M.

    You can try to check the drivers provided by pages:
    -laptopvideo2go.com
    -omegadrivers.net

    But in both cases, the use if these drivers are at your own risk since these drivers don t contain overheating protection!
