Make an object level to knock out the other objects underneath

I'm in Illustrator CC. I'm working on a chart for knitters and I'm struggling with how to place symbols on a grid and do not have gridlines appear through the symbols.

I have a created a visible grid of horizontal and vertical lines which form the basis of the graphic knit. I put on this grid, many symbols of point knitting. Some of the symbols are just size of one square inch, while others cover plenty. I don't want the gridlines to show through wide multiple-square symbols, so initially, I created a white the width of the symbol on which I placed the box symbol, and then I gathered the symbol and the box white and placed in a layer which was above the network layer, so that the gridlines are not displayed. BUT when the chart is reduced in InDesign, it is placed on a colorful box and now the symbols are in white, while the rest of the grid is transparent, color below box display.

I could go back in Illustrator and make all the white squares correspond to the color of the box of InDesign, but this seems a lot for me to work. What I would do instead is not use the white box at all, but rather to find a way for the symbols to knock out all that is behind them. I don't want to group them with the grid lines, since I want to be able to move the symbols anywhere on the grid and them knock out the lines. I hope that makes sense.

To simplify, I want what's on top to hit all of the objects below it, but without having to combine or link objects.

I've done this before, but can't remember how I did it and cannot find any info online.

Thank you

Thank you.

In this way, it will work.

You had the fill set to none, but it should have a color (any color works)

Knockout groups were always in places where it shouldn't be.

    Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

    I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

    When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

    When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

    ==================================================
    Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

    You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
    I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

    What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

    They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
    Converter would be worth a try.

    You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

    There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
    Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
    but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
    perhaps never the problem.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  • Clipping path in PS is not knocking out areas within the railways

    Sorry if the title of the thread is rather oblique, but I'm having a bit of bad articulate what my question is.

    I create one a clipping path on a photo to place in ID - I'm knocking out the background and there are areas in the path of the perimeter which must also be knocked out (imagine a path around the outside of the letter 'o' and a path inside the letter to make it open). I did it on other pictures on this project, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on it.

    What I am doing wrong? TIA

    Welcome to the power bug Photoshop since PS 6.0. Here is a quick solution short of recreate the path from scratch:

    Take your direct selection tool (white arrow).

    1] click on the path in the path so that you can see around the object that just overlap the pixels.

    [2] make sure that you have not selected anything in terms of points. keep option and click on the inner path (the area you want to knock out). OK, you should have this area of the selected path.

    [3] with the path selected, click on the pen tool. Look you tool bar with the path parameter - this part of your path necessary to the last one wing OR the "exclude overlapping path area" setting.

    many times it occurs randomly just as I saw and on years. Sometimes, by selecting the entire path with the domestic railways and adjusting it to the far right also help. Sometimes you have only to choose the area that has knocked out.

  • Question from newbie on knocking out / extraction

    I'm new to Photoshop. I use CS3 for now, but have CS4 in a box waiting to be installed. I enclose you one. JPG image in this post.

    Select the singer. The quick selection tool should do a good job; and then press Ctrl + J to put it on a new layer. Delete the background layer and save it as a PNG to get a transparent background

    If the selection is not own edges use tool eraser to clean. It's simple, but you said you were new.

    Is it possible to have certain parts of a path of falling behind other parts of this same path? What I have done, is to have the path of the majority behind align with the path to the front (get it?  :-) Otherwise, you would see a line and Illustrator would knock out the filling where the lines intersect (see no picture No 2)

    These pieces must be correctly drawn or created using Scouts or obscured using duplicates. I has no depth Z order for the nodes of the individual path, he obeys the order of stacking of layers and objects. Sometimes you can play a little, but who may not necessarily work with the fill rule...

  • How to make an object out of the screen?

    Hello everyone!

    I create a game introduction with Flash pro CS6 and here is my problem.

    I want an object in my animation to exit the screen, but I don't know how to do it.

    Is there for example, that a way of defined work area, so that when I do something out of this area, it does not appear in my final animation (regardless of the format, .avi, .mov, spritesheets...) or may be "cut" (if I make my object inside the arear half-and-half work outside)?

    Is there another way to do this?

    Thank you!

    With the help of a mask can be a way.

    Refer to a similar thread here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5581528.

    You just need to move the content of your master page to the top layer of most in the layers panel. And the content of the pages of content in the other layers to be able to manage easily. This shoud keep the contents of the master page at the top.

    The option "move to" is abandoned since we launched a workflow overall better to arrange the objects using layers - http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/tutorials/layers-muse.html.

  • How to export a PDF file to make nonprinting objects show but don't print not AND hyperlinks on the top of the page work at the same time?

    Firstly - I work in InDesign CC 2015.

    My problem is, I had this 10 page document, which, on every page, shows an object that must be in PDF format - but do not print. I made this object into a button and unchecked "Printable". On top of this object, I made 10 hyperlinks (separate layer) that point to the page 1-10.

    When you export the document and I use the interactive PDF format , works ' show nonprinting object but do not print ' well, BUT hyperlinks don't. If I uncheck the "layer of nonprinting objects" in the file PDF, then hyperlinks work, but the problem now is that the nonprinting objects are invisible...

    When you export the document and I use a PDF to print the "unprintable object show but do not print" does not work BUT the hyperlinks don't...

    I put hyperlinks to post a link to pages and also tried the link to the anchor text. No difference.

    So my question is: How to export a PDF file to make nonprinting objects show but don't print not AND hyperlinks on the top of the page work at the same time?
