Merge paths?

A basic but important feature that would be very welcome is fusion of the paths that we can do with the layers. For example, we have three files of objects with clipping paths, and we need to combine them into a single file with a clipping for each path. Currently, this would mean beginning with a path and to redo the other two or to keep all three as of paths separated.

Thank you.

Certainly, you can merge paths. Of course, separate objects can be more flexible on the layout...

Perhaps explain a bit more about what you are trying to reach. If x path is highlighted in the doc a and you drag into the path y of b doc, there is added to x. Then you can combine them. You can also copy and paste paths in the other and then combine them.

  • Merge paths with the same fill color

    Hello

    I'm trying to use pathfinder to merge paths with the same colors. I have a lot of colors, so that Select > same fill color would solve my problem, it is very slow.

    My typical workflow is basically by selecting the same colorful and using pathfinder (unite) paths to combine. If the paths have different colors that he would do all the unique color of merged paths. It does not work.

    I want to combine only the paths with the same fill color with the other, but I couldn't come up with a good workflow.

    Someone had a similar problem/situation? What are my options?

    I appreciate all the help.

  • How to merge paths of objects grouped in a path?

    I'm having a problem merging paths of several objects in a path. Does anyone know how or if it is still possible?

    I guess that you have prepared the work in a manner that it is possible.

    I would then separate these pieces in layers (just to make sure that it will work)

    Then focus on each layer and simplify what can be simplified. Also combine things as much as possible to reduce the objects (use the pathfinder Panel). Then make transparent traces (this will be may not be not required - check with the person who will be this code)

    Based on the layers it is also perhaps to export SVG. There are a few scripts available to perform the export. It is dynamic by nature, so I'll leave you with the search expression: https://www.google.de/search?q=adobe+illustrator+layer+export+script

  • Complex shape - merging paths: intersect. Possible without fusion of color?

    I have a complex shape with many groups.

    Its a House that uses a lot of expressions to generate random and characteristic colors.

    --

    There are 3 major groups placed perfectly on top of eachother.

    • Outside of the House (bricks, windows, door, door handle and roof)
    • On the inside of the House (walls, furniture)
    • The scaffolding

    Screen Shot 2016-09-18 at 11.28.14 PM.png-->--> wipeScreen Shot 2016-09-18 at 11.28.38 PM.png

    As you can imagine each group is filled with many small groups

    For example only in the outdoor group

    • External group
      • Doors
        • Door handles
        • Patterns
        • Repeater (for double doors)
      • Roof
      • Façade
        • Windows
        • Features
        • Brick
        • Behind the bricks color

    What I'm trying to add is a fusion railways operator to act as a mask for

    -the 'outdoor group' so when the path is changed he reveals the Interior of the House

    - and below the "inner group" so I can pull this mask and reveal the scaffolding.

    A bit like a wipe on each 'level' that I can control. I thought I could do it with Intersect because it works on the individual paths, however...

    If I add one on what it seems to merge the first color to fill the rest of the forms turning all one-colour forms.

    To do this with realism I should add a form with the railways of the merger within each subgroup and the link back to a ' master '? Seems a very intense memory and I feel like it should be more simple. Am I missing something? A mask can be assigned to a group in a form?

    Please help me

    Basically, how can I hide an individual complex group (subgroups containing) within a single form? (Must be monolayer for random expressions and others to work)

    Basically, how can I hide an individual complex group (subgroups containing) within a single form? (Must be monolayer for random expressions and others to work)

    separate your groups of form in different layers will make it much easier to manage. uses a simple layer for your shape mask a problem? Often, I find that the use of masks on a shape layer saves me a huge headache. of course, it means that you must set the group desired to a separate layer shape. Maybe you'll find this handy script: 3 of shape layers explode aescripts.com - aescripts + aeplugins - , it supports the workflow from the use of the different layers for shapes and not all in one.

  • How to merge paths AI export it to AE as a single object?

  • Merge documents Word w / Applescript

    I write a MS Word document with contributions from several authors and publishers. I'm new Applescript, but I invested a few days now trying to figure out how to create an application that should merge several word documents. I use Microsoft Word for Mac Version 15.15 on a Mid 2011 iMac OS X El Capitan 10.11.12 running. I'm hung up on how to use the merge command in the Script Editor. From only two documents, I write things like:

                  tell application "Microsoft Word"

    name of the file Open ((path to the folder on the desktop) & "TestingMerge.docx") as string

    myMerge of name of the file to Merge the value ((path to the folder on the desktop) & "TestingMerge2.docx") as string

                  end say

    I get an error message:

    Result:

    error "Microsoft Word has been an error: can not continue merger." number-1708

    I did a lot of variations on this general topic, but just don't know how to use the command merge correctly or there is a weird bug that broke this command. I looked everywhere for code applescript from someone who has used the merge command to see how the syntax and format is supposed to look like, but I have not found anything.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    You must specify a document open and a file with the command merge path.

    In the Microsoft WordApplescript dictionary:

    fusion v : merges the changes marked with revision of one document to the other marks.

    Merge document

    file name text: the path and the name of the document to merge with this document.

    a file1 set to (path to the folder on the desktop as text) & "TestingMerge.docx".

    the value File2 (path to the folder on the desktop as text) & "TestingMerge2.docx".

    Tell application "Microsoft Word"

    the value of thisDoc1 to open the file name file1

  • Shape edges layer 1 pixel in the paths of fusion

    I am animating the shape layers and I use Merge paths have a shape Hide another, like follow the mats, but all in shape layer. I use Exclude selections, however even if the shapes are duplicates the edges of the shape are always visible when the stem is cut on the bottom. It remains visible until the layer itself ends in the timeline. I move the shapes to the left and right and no matter what the edge is still visible. Is there a solution to this, that does not involve separate forms in different layers and using track mats? He's away I can use subtract on paths of merge maybe? Merge paths are more confused receptors form and only when I finally while I thought about it it does not work the way I expect.  Simple Choker I think is an option but how I continue without eating at my shape layer?

    It works as such a thing - the different anti-aliasing patterns do not necessarily align or the combined opacity of the semi-transparent pixels is not always a specific value. You have this same problem with effects. So yes, you need to use an approach different., a matte technique or a fit of Alpha levels.

  • 3D extrusion error [CANT]

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator among many other settings that are racking my brain without result.

    This does not prevent my workflow until I can get it is resolved.

    Anyone in the community has similar problems? Any ideas what might solve the problem?

    I use a PC

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    16 GB OF RAM

    4790K CPU I7

    Z87 platform

    It's a complex plan, however, I was able to do on the first floor without problem. There is no reason. Actually, the amount of roads was no more complex than the typical work that I've done in the past. A 20 000 plan square feet of floor-walls only. No windows, doors or complex paths. Essentially, a line drawing. I've converted paths into contours and merge paths with the pathfinder palette. The work has been extremely simplified.  Even after a re-installation and update, I had the same problem. I referred to in many forums and found the solution.


    Right-click on Illustrator and run as administrator. Seems strange, but in fact, it worked!

    Im not sure what the bug was, but running Illustrator as an administrator has allowed me to meet a deadline.

  • control of keyframes with layer markers

    Hello

    I have an animation of a line that has two sets of two different properties keyframes in CS4.

    Basically a line is generated in the first phase, then it gets cleared out in the second phase.

    This is done using two slider controls that affect the horizontal two rectangles size and using merge paths (using the second rectangle as a cache for the first of this empty)

    I put two layer markers on my bed in the hope of link keyframes to each of them.

    Then I found this script on the web and I put it on the first property:

    L = thisComp.layer("ShapeLayer");

    n = 0;

    If (L.marker.numKeys > 0) {}

    n = .index L.marker.nearestKey (time);

    If (L.marker.key (n) .time > time) {}

    n-- ;

    }

    } If (n == 0) {}

    valueAtTime (0);

    } else {}

    t = time - L.marker.key (n) .time;

    valueAtTime (t)

    }

    Indeed, it allows me to move the entire animation with the layermarker (which is fine) but I can't find a way to tie the second set of keyframes to the exit.

    I'll add a link with the project file: WeTransfer

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    I think that this on your LenghtAnimate cursor:

    L = thisComp.layer("Line_Center_Reveal");

    m = L.marker.key ("In");

    If (time<>

    valueAtTime (0);

    } else {}

    t = time - m.time;

    valueAtTime (.time (1) key + t);

    }

    and this one OutAnimate cursor:

    L = thisComp.layer("Line_Center_Reveal");

    m = L.marker.key ("out");

    If (time<>

    valueAtTime (0);

    } else {}

    t = time - m.time;

    valueAtTime (.time (1) key + t);

    }

    will do what you are looking for.

  • How to return individual characters in a text frame.

    I have some just text, with follow-up has decreased so that they overlap and size of every second letter slightly different to not merge paths.

    I would like the 1st letter to be on top, without breaking everything in the individual text blocks, and I don't want to vectorize all.

    I uploaded a picture describing my question in detail.

    [IMG] http://i62.Tinypic.com/33xy744.PNG [line]

    Is this possible?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Ok. Here a slightly advanced version.

    You must not assign your text BACK forward; the script will format all of the text in the history of RTL.

    The text block rotates 180 °.

    All characters rotate 180 °.

    Scripting language is ExtendScript (JavaScript) for InDesign. Should be compatible with CS5, CS6 and CS5.5, CC.

    Not compatible with CS4 or below.

    try{
    
    var textSelection = app.selection[0];
    
    //ENHANCED FEATURE SET:
    
    //Rotate characters (does only work on paragraph level?!):
    textSelection.paragraphs.everyItem().characterRotation = 180;
    
    //Apply WorldReadyComposer to all paragraphs of selection:
    //CS5, CS5.5, CS6 and CC compatible
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().composer = "$ID/HL Composer Optyca";
    
    //Set all characters of selection RTL:
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().keyboardDirection =
    CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION;
    
    //If you want to edit the text later in RTL this is also necessary:
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().characterDirection =
    CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION;
    
    //Rotate the text frame to 180°:
    textSelection.parentStory.textContainers[0].rotationAngle = 180;
    
    }catch(e){alert(e.message);exit()};
    

    Tested with InDesign CS6 v8.0.2 under Mac OS x 10.6.8.

  • Merge multiple paths to a single anchor point

    Hello friends,

    I want to create a perspective of illustrator grid to use with other software.

    I would like to know if it is possible to merge several paths to an anchor point unique to a single point perspective grid that can be easily changed by moving the anchor point in the Middle, as in the picture below.

    Imgur: the most impressive pictures on the Internet

    An anchor may reach only 2 segments of track. Your image must at least consist of 2, if it is not not 4 paths. But you can select multiple anchor points (not a path) and use the Panel line up to get them exactly on the same position. Later if you want to draw a rectangle with the direct selection above them, move them around and move these selected elements.

  • Merge the expanded paths


    path3dissue.pngselectpathspath3dissue.png

    I ran into a problem where, as I can't merge the following extended path with a route closed, for example a square. Left is specified without paths, right image appears with the expanded paths.  I tried many options of search path without success?

    It is also possible to shrink the middle way in proportion and all other paths adapts accordingly?

    I was wondering why you are creating a complex object?

    Simply draw a circle with a thick line and apply a gradient to this trait.

    Then in the Panel gradient colors, choose 'Apply gradient across the shot' in the section of the stroke.
