Import Illustrator file with several layers and sublayers as composition by keeping all layers and sous-calques

I drew a map of the country with several layers and sous-calques, including the streets, cities, railroads...

Now, I want to create a template for my colleagues in After Effects.

To do this, I want to import the AI in After Effects, holding all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.

When I do, I get the first two layers correctly, others just in a merged publication.

What can I do to get all the layers of each as a layer in After Effects?

Best regards, Raphael

Illustrator imports only the first level of the layers. If you have groups or paths below you must release layer groups. The layers will then be stacked in the order in the form of layers. Then you need to move them to the top.

The procedure is to select a layer in the layer Illustrator Panel, then without selecting any which specific element in the layer click on the menu in the upper right corner and select release to layers. All an elements in this layer will be transformed into layers. Now, select all, and drag them to the top above the original layer. This will leave the empty original layer and put all the elements in new layers.

Here is a tutorial I made there are a bunch of years and who uses this technique to transform a mixture in a morphing.

Morphing with Adobe Illustrator. I hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the doc

    I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the document (replacing the existing document) and close. Then another person can open the same document digitally sign another area of the form, save it, and close it. So on, and so on. Is there a way to do this? At the end of the day, I would end up with a PDF file with literally hundreds of signatures to enable different ACC everywhere...

    I don't understand what the problem is. In the post of the davidr96549424 on May 8, 2015 07:58 you presented a structure of a correct document. Is the issue of the creation of this structure in a PDF file? For this, you will need an Acrobat, not reader.

    XI in Acrobat, select Tools-> forms-Edit. Click 'No' on the form fields 'detect '. In the tasks Panel that opens, click on "add new field". Select "Digital Signature" and move it to the location in the document where you want to than the appearance of the signature to be. Repeat that for signature fields as you want. Users will sign by clicking on the prepared unsigned signature field which shows the dialog box "sign. Do not forget that as TSN has noted that a digital signature applies to the entire document. The entry in the document where it is is irrelevant. Each next signature covers all previous signatures.

    Your users can also sign a document from anywhere that they want without signature fields already prepared. For this select fill & sign-> work with certificates and the type of signing you want to sign up with. A dialog box that will tell you a rectangle for the appearance of signature rises and after you draw the rectangle of the dialog 'Sign' rises.

    PDF/Acrobat doesn't have a limit on a number of signatures in a PDF document. But! Don't forget that when you open a PDF file with Acrobat/Reader signatures valid all of them and takes time (several seconds - until 10 - for every signature), so if you have several signatures of dozens of their validation open can take a long time.

    I don't know how build you your workflow so that each person signs the same PDF and saves it. Economy runs on the same computer where the PDF is stored. You'll have to decide how to allow different people to have access to the same PDF. They, of course, you may sign this only one-at-a-time PDF.

  • Attract importing Illustrator files in Adobe

    Hey all,.

    I am a bit new for adobe draw and love it a lot. However, I can't find out how to import illustrations I created in I draw from Adobe. I'd like to change these files with my pen and give the drawing a more natural feel. Also, if I import an idea file in illustrator and make changes, those changes will appear in the draw?

    Thank you!

    Currently, there is no workflow in support of .ai files layers in layers .draw.

    the only way you can bring your illustrator file in a project of drawing lots is reference as a layer of bgd raster/photo.

    But if you're already starting in Illustrator, you can easily go back to illustrator to draw.  Once your drawing is open, move the layers in your existing AI project.

    regarding the file Adobe ideas (idea), all your layers meet discreetly as they were in the ideas.  The transparency of each layer is also honored in the transfer of ideas to draw, but there is no way to switch to illustrator between ideas in the draw... It's a direct hit.

    Slightly off topic: you can imitate the draw brush styles in Illustrator using a mouse.  If you want to use a pen with your computer, Wacom works well with illustrator.  If you want to dig deeper, there are 3 large part plugins for AI such as AstuteGraphics

  • Slide several boxes and align itself with several locations and reveal the button

    Hi I am developing a game where the user chooses from a range of boxes to the left of the screen and can drag the 3 of them separately from 3 boxes to right ther. each box can be moved anywhere, and the order is not important. Once the 3 boxes are all full, I want a new button to appear. I finished a tutorial and I have a box works perfectly, but no matter what I try, I can't work with several boxes and locations. Here is a list of the instance names of film clips more my actionscript. I have attached a link to the flash file. Any help would be really appreciated. See you soon

    LINK

    http://www.sainters.NET/flash_preview/flash_test/Flash test_v6.fla.zip

    INSTANCE NAMES

    1 box = 'circle_mc.

    Box 2 = "circle_mc2."

    the two grey boxes are called = "targetCircle."

    ACTIONSCRIPT

    function dragSetup (clip, targ) {}

    the following variables can store the start position of clips
    clip.myHomeX = clip._x;
    clip.myHomeY = clip._y;
    the variables below are going to store the position of end of clips
    clip.myFinalX = targ._x;
    clip.myFinalY = targ._y;
    clip.onEnterFrame = function() {}
    all these actions basically just to say "If the mouse is in place (in other words - the clip is not moved).

  • Save the file with the annotation and highlighting

    Hello world

    I used to save the file with the annotation and emphasize locally.

    With the new update: Version 2015.009.20079, I'm not able to do as much as Adobe does not have the location of the local file.

    Why is it like that? Is there a setting that is required to restore the previous behavior of the program?

  • Import Illustrator doc with layers in InDesign

    I'm doing a tutorial on creating a new document in Illustrator or Photoshop and save the doc in InDesign with the layers. When the doc comes in InDesign, it has only one layer. I choose object > object Layer and the layers are all there, but they do not appear in the display. The original doc was created in Illy CS3 in WinXP and put in an empty doc opened in InDesign CS3. Any help?

    I thought I had book Sandee, but I can't put my hands on it. I wonder if you had misinterpreted what she said, that is, you can create different layers with different colors in a single file, then use the layer visibility options to access regardless of the version that you need without having to re - import.

    Actual installation of the imported file must be done in the editor appropriate, sorry.

  • Importing Photoshop files with layers in AE

    Hello

    I have a file with layers photoshop and here to import into AE as composition (no images) so that I can retain its layers. However, when I try to import the ps, it has not imported layers.  He has not even invite me with the dialog 'layer option '.  When I try to open the other ps file at random, they have worked very well. So I think it's something to do with my photoshop file.

    Any help appreciated.

    Post a screenshot of your Photoshop file and the layers panel, unless it is in CMYK color (or possibly the Lab colors). If this is the case, change the color in RGB.

    There is no reason to not have the option to import as a composition in the first dialogue, but the file will import that only a single layer and may not work at all.

  • Problem with several swfloaders and file a swf

    Hello!

    Is it possible to load a SWF file at run time with a charger and then when the load is finished to set that is contained in a source for SWFLoaders two or more property? Because now if I don't have that content is presented on the last SWFLoader and others show just a blank space.

  • Export a page to the photoshop/illustrator file with the same structure of layer?

    Hello

    Currently freelancing for a company that create using the indesign work and I try to streamline the process of splitting the outside inside work is separate to import directly into damage layers. I know you can use a script to separate the outside layers and then export as interactive pdf, this opening in illustrator and then releasing to layers (build) I'm looking for an effective way more time to get to this point? Sometimes the work does not seem to import correctly into illustrator, because there clipping masks and weird stuff out there (their marketing team is huge and those working on the same things that make things way differently). I tried two script to split the work out in components, but they don't seem to not remember the position or just produce the element of the unique work.

    A typical file would be 640 x 640 page with multiple Indesign pages with 6 layers of each placed exactly and signed illustration of positional for. The perfect scenario would be to run a script to export directly into photoshop (keeping the culture and position) if it is then just one case to draw only a file directly in ae.

    There are various forums and I got asked in all of scripts but InDesign and in particular script is not my forte. It is one that could do the trick, but the link is no longer active: http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/PageToPSLayersV3.zip

    I know it may seem as it is lazy, but there are many things to animate by project in different sizes, so any help and pointers would be great!

    Thank you

    Of course: select rasterize the layer switch continuously.  Looks a bit Sun with the Sun said on this subject.  If your layer is truly vector - not only a bitmap passed Illustrator - the edges will look great.

  • Overview of the Illustrator files display hidden layers (Mac)

    This is more of a problem, a doubt. Well, I was working on an illustration, just try things here and there, and I have so many different layers of elements, some of them I want to see the and some of them not (I don't want to remove them, cause, they can be useful later). At some point, I realized that when I saved the file and went to see the (SPACEBAR) Preview in his file, the image had hidden and shown items.

    So here's my question: is this normal? is there a way to show the preview with only the elements listed? Of course, when I export the .png file, for example, I get the image should I get (without the hidden stuff).

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why, but I have a solution: in your "layers" window, do not use the black eyes in the front of your layers to hide! Open each layer you want to hide (using the grey triangle) and hide the objects inside the layer. Then save: and you will see that the preview will be the right one...

  • CP4 - Pause a slide with several buttons and continue after clicking a specific button

    Hi all

    I know that a break has been discussed, with the idea that you can use a clickbox (tiny/transparent) to pause the slide in CP4.

    My problem is that I have a few buttons to show/hide a scenario/question in a slide that is suspended with a clickbox.  I would like a particular button to advance the slide (for example, the button 'Next').  Currently * any * button will UN-pause the slide even if all the buttons use advanced actions and are not defined for advnace slide to the click.

    Basically, I want to achieve this goal:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/community/publishing/871/cpsid_87182.html

    Scroll down for the film and ignore everything apart as a result of clicking on the US/Europe/ISO buttons, you don't advance the slide. (I don't like on all counters/times etc.).

    BB

    (just in case it is useful to my slide includes):

    (1) invisible clickbox to pause at the top of the timeline (i.e. "put on the map"

    (2) an another clickbox with a legend of success/failure (that I want to advance the slide)

    (3) a "Hide" button that hides the name of a legend and shows another button (all with a tip action)

    (4) a "show" button that shows the 'hide' button and the legend (by peak action)

    (5) a couple of areas of turnover used to mimic navigation so that the user can click in the right place for (2).

    )

    Hello

    What's you point to one of my articles? Oh, I see now you are intrigued by the little film. It was created with Captivate 5 and CP4 is a little heavier.

    I just answered a question similar, but explained by adapting the user file. He wanted to have several areas to click that showed a text caption and offer the user the opportunity to click as many times as he wanted to in order any on those select boxes. Only when you click on the continue button (or click box), there should be a navigation to the next slide. If I understand you correctly, this is a similar case?

    My workflow: do NOT use multiple actions for areas of click to show/hide captions. He must not trust at all, and in addition you must go back the playback head to avoid it continues after clicking on a CB. Create a tip action for every click like this screenshot:

    Here, a single text of the legend was hidden, but can be extended to many of course. The last instruction (assignment) is important: it puts the read head back a frame, so that it remains before the point of interruption.

    I blogged about this type of micro-navigation once, but the examples are for CP5 and later versions:
