Moving anchor points and the whole shape gets distorted to change the line weight

I have a fairly simple drawing that I drew in a larger size, so I could be more specific with it, and now I want to reduce up to the finished size and thicken the line, but when I make the line thicker, my anchor points are moving and the whole drawing is distorted.

Using Adobe Illustrator of 24 years, I never saw that happen. When I click on the "up" arrow in the stroke palette a lot of time to gradually increase the thickness of line, I can watch made anchor 'walk' around like my shape gets distorted.

If I go to the place a numeric value for the thickness of line, it doesn't.

However, if I use the scale tool to shrink the design down to the size of 10% or 20%, or whatever, with traits of the scale and effects UNCHECKED, yet once, move the anchor points and the drawing is distorted.

It's all about a brand new installation of Illustrator CS 6 for Mac (although I use CS 6 for about 2 years now, my hardrive crashed this past weekend and I had to reinstall everything).

I missed a little box somewhere that I never saw elsewhere that is what actually happen?

This post editing to add:

Also, some of these objects in my drawing I cannot change the race less than 1 point thickness. If I choisis.5 ou.25 pt in the context menu, or even if I enter the numeric value, it jumps to 1 point. Other objects in the drawing are not.

These objects in question are "rounded rectangle" forms I used the scissors tools to cut and then used the "join" command to put them as well as other forms that have been "scissored"as well."

All forms of "Ellipse" and "Rounded Rectangle" that I have left intact do not exhibit this problem with stroke and distortion.

You are being bitten by the Align-to - pixel grid. Select the entire document and go to the transformation Panel and turn off snap to Pixel - grid at the bottom of the Panel. Then go into the rollout (small triangle in the upper-right) and disable align objects on the pixel grid.

  • Too many anchor points and simplify the mess to the top of the photo

    I take a picture and I have a problem - I need a maximum of 2000 anchor points, and I have about 11 k.

    Looks like I have a lot of useless points, but when I try to simplify the image gets all messed. Another way to solve this problem?

    Here is a part of the image, we see that many of the points do not have to be there...

    Lars Jørgen,

    Whatever the version, you should be able to:

    (1) select a red path and select > same > fill color,.

    (2) pathfinder > unit/add to shape area (you may need to press Alt/Option to get simple traces if yes, you will get a warning about it);

    (3) separate if you wish.

    Who should group all sets of overlapping paths of this color in unique paths, some of which may be composed of paths, with all the unnecessary layers and their Anchor Points removed.

  • Select the anchor point of the Group and anchor it to the PointInsertion

    Hi all

    How to select the anchor point of the Group and dock it at the point of insertion of the document in indesign cs5.5 using javascript or vb.net

    You need get a reference to your group - call the myGroup - and the other to the PointInsertion where you want it anchored - call - the myIP. Given those, you can achieve your goal (in CS5 or later) by:

    myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP);

    You can specify a second parameter, if you want that specifies the position of anchor:

    myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP, AnchorPosition.anchored);

    That should help you get started.

  • Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

    Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

    k,

    It looks like you might be haunted by the Align attribute to the ghost of the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

    It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • How set the anchor point of the composition (no layer)

    Hi people,

    I have a composition very long and skinny.  In a far corner of the comp, I'm turning a layer on the x axis, but I want to turn backward in relationship to itself, and NOT with regard to the focus of the long and lean model.  I changed the anchor point of the layer itself to be the center of the layer, but it always tilted toward the center of the model:

    Screen Shot 2016-09-04 at 2.14.33 PM.png

    How can I change the anchor point of the comp itself?  I tried to change the position of 'anchor' in the grid 3 x 3 in the composition settings panel, but that seemed to have no effect.  Thank you!

    mbirame wrote:

    It makes sense, but it surprises me. If the point of leakage of a 3D object will always be in the center of the composition?

    No.... Just like in real life, point of view is controlled by the position of the camera, the angle of view is controlled by the focal length, and the center of the view is always on an infinite perpendicular line between the center of the plan of the film (point of interest). The human eye is not tilt shift, like the cameras was discovered and no not the camera AE (or no matter what camera I've ever seen in a 3D application, so you can not control the perspective by winning the film plane or by moving the center of the lens as you can do with a camera or a tilt shift lens.

    The vanishing point is where the parallel lines converge and depends on the angle of parallel lines to the camera.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Here's the thing about nesting more small compositions in a larger. If you put 3D layers in your nested compositions and condense the transformations, then the camera in the main computer will interact with the 3D layers in nested compositions. If you do not condense the transformations there will be no change in perspective as the camera moves into the main computer. If you do not condense the transformations and you make the 3D before comps will organize just flat cards in the main 3D model space.

    One last thing. Only the Active camera view has perspective. All custom views are orthogonal - no perspective. This

    It will take a minute, but you should be able to wrap your head around that. Here is a demonstration of model how global collapse of transformations. Feel free to play with it. Collapse Transformations.aep (Note: your browser may add an extension .txt to the app file - just delete it)

  • Unable to set the anchor points of the path when the keyframes turned on...

    I have a layer of irregular shape who I am deformation over time (from smallest to largest). I am able to set the anchor points of the path to the forms I want, but once I put two keyframes for the path I'm interpolating a slide, I'm more able to set the anchor points for minor changes, for example, I am unable to draw the Bézier handles. If I disable keyframes, then I am allowed to adjust the anchor again, but that means I have to start whenever I need to make an adjustment. I have run successfully the concept but need to change several layers of form in this way, and not having is not access to the Bézier handles point of anchorage slows productivity.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry, I missed the rather obscure reference to an expression in the first post you. Had, I had to pay more attention I'd say disable the expression to change the path, and then select. Not being able to select a top with the marks of perfectly logical on expression because it is turned on with the full path is selected by the expression of all time. This is how work expressions. This seems to be a lot of trouble to go just to change the "timing" of a couple of keyframes.

  • Illustrator cc 2014 adds anchor points to the guides

    What is happening with the Illustrator CC 2014! I placed a guide for where to add a cliked of anchor point on the Add anchor point tool, but when I select the object I want to add the anchor point that adds an anchor point to the guide! so I blocked the thinking guide that would solve the problem, that it is then for me a poster that says attention please use on a segment of the path it still considers that the guide is a path!

    TIF,

    Are you sure that you select the path, not the guid?

    Maybe it's time to look at the list.

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

  • direct selection - move the anchor points with the arrow keys of the keyboard

    Hello

    I use Illustrator CC.  I just use the image tracking tool to create a version vector of my company logo.  It worked pretty well, but now I'm just trying to clean it up a bit.  I have a few anchor points that I want to just push upwards or downwards into the smallest possible increment.

    I think it would be easier for me to do using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse, but the arrows cause my selected anchor point to jump in too large a distance way.  I checked to make sure that the bearings commented, snap to grid and snap to Point are all extinct.  I don't see anything else to do.

    Can someone tell me which control how the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how can I fix this to the smallest possible distance?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    General Prefs, area keyboard Increments. Have something you need.

  • Vector glitch of anchor points with the transformation of the cs6 illustrator objects

    Vector anchor points glitch during the transformation of objects,

    It is if I create a square and turn it, let's say I have it increase by 200%, it creates additional anchor points in the square corners and also creates weird crenellated edges, when I hover over the square with the slider to show the edges, the line from the edge which shows blue is shifted in at the edge of the actual object reference (see attached img the orange object displays the quirky plan and the black object is supposed to be a) round square edged, but after that I turned (Shear 10 degrees) it apeared of curves in stairs)

    I already tried to launch updates and restart, but the issue continues to display.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
