Issues of line width

The problem:

How can I keep the race the same value when I change the length of a line, I've drawn with the pen or line tool?

Same question about the rectangle tool. When I draw a rectangle with the rectangle tool and continue to resize the box, changes in line width. I would like to know how to prevent that from happening.

I use CS3, 13.02 on an Imac.

Thanks in advance

It is useful to mark these items answered so other people looking for the same info know where the answer and if I get 100 000 points Iget free popcorn.

In fact, nobody knows what the points are for, but it is very useful mark the answer questions as much as there is no FAQ section more.

This question is asked a lot.

    Hello

    I was recently working on my Board and somehow (for screen printing lines) default line width has been set to 0.00004 mils.

    How can I change this default width?

    Thank you

    Hi Nick,

    You should be able to set the width of the default drawing for the layers of the toolbar settings to draw that is above the Board default workspace. Select the top layer of the screen and enter a value, it shouldn't forget for the subsequent designs.

    I need to create the half oval, but I can't seem to make the width of the line thicker? As you can see on the properties box on the right, where it says details of form, I can't click the color or type to change the line width. Why is this?

  • How to change the line width of underline and color (on my MacBook or iPad)

    When you use my MacBook or iPad, how can I change the line width and color when you use the underline tool or the pencil tool?

    Hi Backpacker48,

    .. using the underline tool or the pencil tool

    I'm fairly certain that you may have about the comment tools.

    To highlight the tool, there is no option to change the line width (thickness).  But you can change the color and opacity.  In addition, you can change the style in the desktop application.

    For the Pencil tools or drawing freehand, you pouvez change the width of the line (thickness) in addition to the color and opacity.

    The key here is to change the properties of an existing comment, once it is added to a page.

    Acrobat Reader DC (desktop application) on your MacBook

    1. Right click on the brand of underscore or existing pencil.
    2. Select properties from the context menu.
    3. Select appearance (if not already displayed).
    4. Specify the value of a property (color, opacity, Style or thickness).

    Acrobat Reader for iOS (mobile application) on your iPad

    1. Tap the existing underlining or drawing freehand.
    2. Select a property (color, opacity, thickness) in the menu that appears.
    3. Specify the value of the property.

    Once you change a property (for example, thickness, color, opacity), the mobile app will remember the new value of type specific comment for next time.

  • minimum line width for printing

    Hi, I am looking to buy a color laser printer so that I can print my work - I create very detailed art that is designed to be fully seen under a magnifying glass works.

    Printers in my budget tend to have resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. does anyone know what the thinnest line/dot (expressed in points), it's that can be printed with precision to the resolution of the printer size? I found with my other printers if the printing line is thinner than the printer can handle, he just prints it thicker.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Here are some results of the OKI 9600 toner printer test.

    PostScript, 1200 dpi, 121Lpi, based on test models in this doc:

    http://www.FHO-Emden.de/~Hoffmann/raster16052003.PDF

    The mires are vector graphics, a sufficient

    Zoom high for the consultation of the details (about 100%).

    All results by interpreting the prints.

    Page 9:

    Zero width of stripe, 0Y 0 M 0C 100K

    PostScript converts zero printable the smallest line width

    Width: line 1 pair and gap for each raster cell, approx. 121 pairs

    per inch (means: always recognizable about 120).

    The width of each line is 0.5· (1/121) inches = 0.5·25.4mm/121 = 0.1 mm approx.

    Page 10:

    Width of the small line. 0C 0 M 0Y 100K.

    Situation on p.9.

    Page 7:

    Width of the small line. 100 C 100M 100Y 0K.

    Three point inks printed on the dot, but slightly deviate due to

    Recording errors.

    An impression of about 90 pairs per inch.

    Page 8:

    Width of the small line. 80 C 80 M 80Y 80K.

    Situation as p.7.

    Conclusions:

    1. not the resolution in dpi, but frequency of LF in Lpi line sets

    line width minimum wmin.

    2. the width of minimum line, using an ink, is the same, no matter

    What percentage of ink (level) is used. Black lines cannot be

    is thinner than the gray lines.

    3. the minimum line width, using an ink, is approximately equal

    half of the width of a raster cell. wmin = 0.5· (1/LF).

    4. with the help of ink a falling-out appearance more. The thin lines are

    not so sharp. The line width must be larger than wmin.

    5. never use the intense Black of black lines.

    6. never use more than two inks for the lines.

    7. never conceive these charts in RGB.

    Additional information:

    For 1200 dpi and 121Lpi we have N = square (1200/121) + 1 = 100 levels

    by channel, approximately.

    If the toner printer should be 1200 dpi in one direction and 600 dpi

    in the other, then wmin would be always the same, but we had only

    50 levels.

    256 levels can be achieved by the image - or chemicals, but the

    actual number of levels will be smaller.

  • problems of line width

    I do not know How to explain it it exactly, but if I work in a new document, and when I want to change the line thickness/width spet of 1pt instantly to the max 1000.0000pt.

    The same goes for and when I want to move an object by pressing the arrow key, the steps are not normal.

    When I close the document, I get an error message at startup and Illustrator returned to 'standard', rather than created user.


    I did a search before work, but I don't know how to call the problem in my own language, and certainly not in English

    So I'm really sorry for my bad English, but the problem becomes really boring.

    Thank you very much!!

    It is, 1 pt, not 1,000 pt. \/

    That's the problem. \/

  • Default line width

    I hope I can explain it properly.

    I had this problem before and it doesn't happen only occasionally. It is however very frustrating because I don't know what the cause and why it happens sometimes and not others.

    I've got CS6 (using the cloud so much more up to date version).

    I want to draw a line segment. I select .5pt to the width of the outline. I draw the line while holding down the SHIFT key, so it's all right. It is default width 1 pt. I select and try to change the width by using the appearance Panel and the toolbar. Automatically default back.

    I draw the line on an angle and it remains a.5pt. But I don't want an oblique line. I want a straight line.

    I draw with the tool pen and applies by default to 1 pt.

    WHY?

    Number to align it on the pixel grid, perhaps?

  • Line widths

    When I draw a rectangle and I want to change the width of the line, it does not go below 1 pt. And when I enlarge or shrink the width of the line, the rectangle moves to the art. Why is this?

    You work in RGB and began with the new Document profile from the Web? Turn off align it on the pixel grid in the transformation Panel. It is enabled by default in AICS5.

  • The profile and default line widths

    I know this will be a stupid question but here goes.  Just updated to CS5 in CS2 and I can't get the basics to work more.

    Nothing is selected.

    Set the width of the line to 10 points.

    Profile of uniform width.

    Set the brush to ink art - conical race

    Well, now draw with the pencil tool and I get a 10pt line but none related conical.

    Drawing with the brush and I get a tapered to 10 points.

    Now define the profile of width to "width profile 1'.  Everything else unchanged.

    Pencil tool give me a line 1 pt uniform.

    Brush tool gives me a line of 10 points with the profile.

    I'm so confused. How can I get these values by default to work with the pencil tool?

    Apply the stroke tapered to a path and then deselect "New Art has basic appearance" in the appearance Panel menu. Now you can draw such a line as long as you do not change the appearance.

  • Line width will not go below 1 pt.

    Hi all.

    I have a problem with illustrator. The width of the line will not go below 1 pt. It makes no difference if I choose a lower weight of the race in the drop-down menu, or if I type in. I tried the solution of two comma and dashed, even even.

    Specifications:

    Mac OSX Danish

    Illustrator CS5 English

    Any ideas?

    Best regards

    Esben Rahbek

    Esben,

    You will need to uncheck snap to grid of pixels in the transformation Panel.
