Less before Pathfinder does not work like it used to...

I recently updated from CS3 to CS5. I used to be able to take a group of underlined text, overlay the top text slightly off and Pierce a part of it, so I can then put it on him and original text give a look simple bevel. But how the tool now works is is only extracted part of the first letter and removes the rest. Is attached a picture of what I'm talking about. The first word is two pieces of trunking text superimposed on the other until I would use the negative edge tool. The second is the desired effect by using a previous version of Illustrator and the 3rd is CS5 after effect. I can no longer do it like that? Thank you.

Press the ALT key when you click the pathfinder.

Alternative: create a transparent record of the text, then use the pathfinder on it.

  • Plan less first Pathfinder does not work with the lines?

    I'm all new to illustrator and may not have the vocabulary to ask this question well.  Please bear with me.  I want to remove the center of a shape from a bunch of lines

    Imagine that I have established a grid wavy using the Warp tool.  I want to place a circle on the top of the grid and then delete everything that is in the middle of the circle.  The result would be a grid with a hole of type Swiss cheese inside.  I need the parts circled the line actually be deleted (not just hidden) because I'll eventually use the model for laser cutting.

    I understand how to proceed when background objects are forms - such as a hole of Gruyère in another circle - using less before.  However, it doesn't seem to work if the background of the drawing is just a bunch of lines.

    Is there an easy way to do this?

    Thank you!

    Draw the circle:

    and a rectangle underneath which covers all - different colors are important

    All select and use the pathfinder "Outline."

    Give you this

    Take the magic wand and set it to stroke brain and tolerance 0%

    Click on the circle

    Remove. Then delete the rectangle.

  • HELP - lightroom 4, my tool of truncation does not work like it use too.

    I use to be able to grab a corner of the crop tool, usually the lower right corner, and then handle to move it to the desired size. Now, when I take this corner, I can push only in one direction. If I push too much, the horizontal would then become a vertical, alternating between the two. I checked to see if I maybe changed something in the settings, but nothing to change. Any have any ideas, please help, thank you. Steve

    I'm not quite understand the question. But I wonder if it is a problem caused by having locked proportions. If you click on the little lock that is visible in the tool of harvest controls, does make a difference to you?

  • Scanner EPSON Perfection V200 Photo: PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer.

    The PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer. I downloaded the 64-bit Epson software for the scanner.

    I found the solution to the problem, and it is indeed with the revised in Windows 7 Control Panel.

    Here how to solve the problem:
    Go to the control panel in Windows 7.
    Search scanner in the upper search box to the right
    You will see a "view scanners and cameras".
    Click it, you will see the Epson Perfection V200. Highlight.
    Click Properties, then Yes, then events.
    Where it says select an event, you MUST choose the event suitable for each option.
    To the Start button, choose Start the series of creativity
    For the copy button Choose launch Epson Scan
    E-mail button also Epson scan
    PDF includes Epson scan
    There you go.
    Now, all this was not necessary before, there are no instructions, and the fault lies with MS. how much more confused MS will do the control panel?

  • My cursor does not work in Blogger using the Safari browser.

    My cursor does not work in Blogger using the Safari browser. I am able to type, but the cursor seems to disappear when I'm in blogger.  It is difficult to navigate if you do not see where is the curse. I used all the other browsers, and this does not happen with them.  In the Blogger help forum other people experiencing the same thing.  He has been as well as a few weeks and I can not say definitively if it coincides with the updates to the OS. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same question too! Is there any ideas on how to solve this problem? So frustrating when you can't even say where you are on the page

  • How to remove the part of an object grouped several using a shape (Pathfinder does not work, cannot get the knockout groups to work)? Kind of like the opposite of a clipping mask.

    I want to remove the portion of these legs inside of this graph, because a white circle solid at the Center intensifies the effect of the spiral.

    Background, the spiral is a mixture of the people flying around in a circle. The circle is then copied and turned several times. I have not developed the appearance again.

    There must be an easy way to do it, but I can't use the Pathfinders, the opacity mask, knockout groups, and make simple layers does not work. I just want to axe the legs of these easy people!

    Thanks to you all!

    Emmanuel,

    If I (put) correctly, you should be able to get the opacity mask to work as follows:

    Select (only) the White path and the mixture and then in the transparency palette flyout on create with unchecked Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked.

    Who must hide the inner part of the mixture corresponding to the white circle and let the front remains visible oin the background (circle and all that.)

  • Volume up button does not work like the shutter of the camera

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 9.2.1 (13D 15). The volume up button does not work on it like a camera shutter. I think that it used for, and iPhone to my wife 6 with the same iOS version works fine. It is a problem, because I am using this phone with a stick of selfie, which triggers photos by simulating the volume press up button, so it doesn't work at all for me. The physical button works - I can control the volume with her settings. And when I try to use the stick selfie, I get the volume until the display on the phone, so I can see that the signal of the selfie stick is received correctly by the phone. And the stick of selfie works with my other phone that is not a problem with the volume up button.

    Work began after restarting the phone. So it's a bug to Apple report, the solution is to reboot the phone.

  • Why my auto focus does not work like Julieann K does in his tutorial

    I tried to use the auto focus selection, as shown in the tutorial by julianne k and it does not work.

    After reading your response, I realized that my photo file was huge, so I reduced the entire file significantly down for something like 8 x 10 and it worked fine.  My account was just too big. I tired of small files, and the update worked.  the file may not just be very big. I thought that after you suggested I go to 8-bit. Thanks David

  • Problem with the touchpad: Tap to click does not work if I use a standard account

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my laptop that I don't understand and I need help from the community.
    As the title says... If I connect to my laptop using a standard account the touchpad does not work if I try to tap to click. Left and right buttons work, move the slider works, works of scrolling, but endearing tape... not even a single tap. If I log in with my account as an administrator, the touchpad works like a charm, no problems. Tap to click and everything you want. If I disconnect the admin account and sign in as a standard user, the problems are back again. I can move the cursor, click on the two buttons (left, right), but I can't type to click...

    I tried to reinstall the driver for the touchpad (which is MOMENTUM...) but it did not. I tried to see if there is any option that can prevent this tapping or something... but in the control panel > Touchpad > Tap is turned on. A strange thing in the control panel of the Touchpad is that [when loggend as a standard user] I get an error "unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click on continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click on exit the application will close immediately. "and a new line saying"index was outside the bounds of the array. If I click on continue the error disappears, but reappears if stationary "double-tap" enable/disable option. If I click on leave the Touchpad Control Panel closes...

    All this trouble occurs only when I use the standard account. With the administrator account, I don't get any errors so I soar options, disable them, activate them and most importantly, the tap to click works.

    What is the problem with the standard account?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.

    Can someone help me please?

  • Bland Muse - States Panel - Adobe does not work when you use images of filling

    Hi all

    I have a filled rectangle with an image using the control panel of the padding in Muse. I want the rollover State to present a slightly modified image. I have change the rollover State in the States Panel and check the option melted and set it for ease in/out to 0.5 s.

    When I preview/publish my site, the fade does not work. The image flashes just as he would have before the last update.

    The works of bland on the text very well or if I wanted to reduce the opacity of the image in the rollover State, but not one filling to another. Why is this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I see in Firefox, it isn't the transition but Safari it is. So I suspect that this is probably the browser compatibility to have a transition of filling.
