• How to add several tracks with offset path?

  Hello

  I would like to create a script that can create multiple strokes with offset path (incremental or material (user will enter value))

  Is it possible to add several traces? I have found no examples in the script reference or elsewhere.

  Note: Mixtures does not give exactly the same results because sometimes especially when you are dealing with fonts outline paths is to be wrongly mixed a way.

  I'd be happy if someone give at least the main command loop.  I'll try to rest and will share here because I find the solution.

  Thank you

  Best regards.

  

  OK, I'm going to assume your sub windows through the capture in the opening screen post.

  This is a completely different approach.

  This example uses executeMenuCommand so is only compatible with CS6 +.

  and Windows is only used from VB

• Offset path does not create a separate path

  CS6 Mac

  Looks like my Illustrator is listening outside. When I apply offset path of the compound object, Illustrator does not create a separate path for me, but both the offset and original sort to group together:

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/xiu3xqcictx0ku0/Offset_problem_1.PNG

  I am trying to create an effect like this tutorial on youtube. But as the offset path does not create a separate path, I can't duplicate the same effect.

  No idea on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

  Did you use the object > path or effect > path? Here is the difference

  

• Offset path

  Hello

  How can I create a path by a path offset / adjusted witch is not centered?

  for example: from top to bottom: 1 pt black, white, 3 pt pt 2 white. See also picture as an attachment.

  I tried with the appearance and the tool offset path attributes, but did not get the required result. Its possible to copy the path and adjust, she that would surely not for curved paths.

  Thanks for any solution!

  

  CAVOK,

  How can I create a path by a path offset / adjusted witch is not centered?

  for example: from top to bottom: 1 pt black, white, 3 pt pt 2 white. See also picture as an attachment.

  Art forms are your friends.

  Assuming that you mean... 2pt black, you can:

  (1) create a black fill/no race 6 pt high rectangle (whatever length);

  (2) create a white filling/no 3pt race high, placed above the black rectangle with 1pt below and pt 2 above;

  (3) both select and drag the button new brush in the shapes panel/palette, select Art Brush.

  Apply to paths and enjoy. You can change the relative thickness by changing the weight of the race of the track of 1 pt.

• Offset path, leaving only the new path?

  Is it possible to use the 'path of shift' command on an object and end with just the new paths of offset.

  It is a double select / Remove the excess paths later.

  Apply it as effect > path offset and expand your appearance thereafter.

• Offset path under object vs effects

  I have several fillings as a single object. When I select the fill and the lag path under 'path of the object-offset' I get a different result, then go to "effects-path-shifting."

  I'm having a hard time finding the difference in a way that makes sense.

  Thank you!

  Under objects compensates the entire path and all the fillings and follow the strokes. The direct effect can be targeted to compensate for one of the attributes of the path.

  

  or can be slipped and fell at a level diiferent for all the path attributes

  

• Offset path creates 2 additional paths not 1

  Hello world!

  Please forgive me I'm not a graphic designer, so here's my noobie question lol.

  So I prepare a document for printing on an epilog Zing Laser 10000. I have a plan for a cut I have to do, but I need to consider for the dewatering of the laser.

  That's what I'm starting with:

  

  I'm trying to select circles and use the offset tool to make new circles in the same places a little smaller. However, when I apply the lag I get a new circle outside the path and inside.

  Here's what I mean:

  

  As you can see there is now a larger circle, but also a smaller circle, but the small circles do not even have a circle plus small only one more despite the fact that I entered a negative offset.

  What can I do to get the smallest circle in all the circle? I'm still on the right track regarding the delay of path tool? Word game.

  Thanks for all your help! Your time is appreciated.

• weird path formats

  sometimes in the registry or in the handles dealing opened, I see the path names that appear invalid.  something like \device\harddiskvolume1\windows\system32 or something. I've also seen------? -added example before a path name \? \C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\mup.sys. Once again, it was a process that was run from a path like that. or in the boot.ini multi (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS. I tried to change the directory in the command prompt to these but he says they are not valid. What are these strange directories and paths and why I can't access it?

  It is a path of the NT namespace object manager.  All Windows resources are 'objects', these objects are created and controlled by the object manager which is part of the Windows Executive.  The object manager place objects of the same type in the same namespace to make it easier to find, a bit like in the same way that files are placed on a disk, or sort of how would organize you a tool chest, a namespace is a container.  \?? ------(ditto GLOBAL?) is the where are saved the \DosDevices, \DosDevices namespace is a symlink (shortcut) to the--------? ------namespace.

  Thus, for example, C: is really a link to \DosDevices\C: that is a link to------? \C: who is usually a link to something like \Device\HardiskVolume1.  In fact, when you ask for the file:

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\mup.sys

  the operating system usually is looking:

  Device\HardiskVolume1\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\mup.sys.

  multi (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS is also a link to an object that is stored in the namespace ArcName which would point to the \Device\Hardisk0\Partition1 object.

  To get a better understanding of the objects and its namespaces and objects download namespace manager SysInternals WinObj look at a tool and take a look at how things are organized.  WinObj can be downloaded here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896657.aspx

• Cut text to the offset path

  I'm trying to create a text cutting from a form.

  I want the form to look like an expanded outline of the text, I did in creating the outlines of the text, clicking on offbeat path that created my desired effect.

  I would then like to cut my original text of this way to compensate using the pathfinder tool but it doesn't let me do that.

  Can anyone help? I found this extremely frustrating.

  
  This is the desired effect I want.

  Thank you in advance!

  j darcy,

  A simple way, where you can keep Type direct and live effects, is for each artwork to:

  (1) change the magenta to white,

  (2) all parts before if not already, the Group

  (2) select all in the same work of art and in the tick of flyout palette transparency mask opacity do with unchecked Clip and invert the mask ticked.

• Illustrator CS6 mirror or resize-100% mess up my race degraded path offset.

  When I try to reflect a chart using the offset path to a gradient outline (I use offset path so I can use the option "Apply gradient across the shot") or the use of resizing and type-100% to have flip, damage my stroke.

  Here is a picture of what is going on when I flip my chart.

  I spilt the tear to the opposite side. I tried to restart Illustrator, my computer, using a new file, Illustrator update, nothing solved this problem.

  Also, is there a better way to use gradient, inner, long and cross line and being able to use the align STROKE to inside and outside without having to use STROKE shifted and using race align to Center

  -Patrick Daniels

  Use effect instead processing in the effect controls panel. in the transform effect front and back on the x axis and make 1 copy.

• Graphic styles recording is not in legacy format.

  Hey all!

  I am a user of AI through Creative Cloud, so using CS6, on my Windows machine and everything is up-to-date.

  I played with Graphic Styles more and this is the first time I have encountered this problem and I hope that there could be someone who is able to help me.

  I've created a bit of a GS complex that contains a lot of strokes, fills, gradient (no transparent node), shadows, lights outdoor, transformation and offset path effects, brain with round hats and wiped out stroke, drop shadow on a stroke, no gradient on traits.

  I created more than 110 GSs and they recorded properly in one. Format HAVE CS6. However, when I just save them in an earlier version, when I open the file of the GSS are gone and everything that I've drawn on the artboard have been expanded.

  So I did some trial and error, trying to save a GS of a copy and the pasted object and then selecting a GS in the AI CS6 file and saving it in just CS5. The object is still growing and there is nothing outside of the default value of GS in the Panel.

  Nothing is bundled, all applied to an object. The styles work fine on the objects and text, so I'm a bit puzzled why they have the habit of saving in a legacy format.

  The only thing I thought is there could be too many shots, but when I tried a GS that had with the effects of direct pixelation on deleted and only 3 races, he didn't develop, but he was even more in the Panel of the GS.

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

  Each version gets new features. In CS5 and CS6 lot of stuff has been renewed, for example the Gaussian blur, appearing in the shadows litters and glimmers. Therefore, it is quite normal that you cannot save your graphic styles for older versions.

• Copy and paste / offset problems

  Hello

  I had a problem since my last update and I was wondering if someone could help me please...

  Whenever I have copy and paste images between 2 open files illustrator (using Illustrator CC), he applies a lag effect and I have to either extend the form to enter the effects > path > offset path and set it to 0. Does anyone know how to stop this?

  The image below shows an example of this with the bounding box where the left column should be, and where it has been implemented.

  Thanks in advance

  Lena,

  The issue should be resolved with the new patch/update, 19.1, that should solve known issues unresolved with 19.0.1.

  If she does not appear, disconnect and then reconnect the creative cloud application. After that, the 19.1 update must be visible in the creative application of Cloud.

  Default you can move or adapt the work affected (a little), then press Ctrl / Cmd + Z to undo, to get it in place.

  This is a roundabout way to use until the issue is resolved.

  Or you can turn paste remembers layers in the layers panel, if you can live with the side effects.

  Returning to the CC 2014 will be also get rid of him.

• Does anyone know how to draw along a path of a spiral? Lets say that I start with a spiral and then I want a path that is exactly one centimetre of the original track from start to finish.

  So, I need to create a spiral which is a cross between the linear spiral and the normal spiral. I try to be five lines just as far away from each other, but would be akin to the way a spiral looks when you use the spiral tool. I'm trying to create a piece of graphic notation (music). I'm at roughly the research to create the same thing that composer George Crumb created with his piece "Spiral galaxy", if you google you will see what I mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Derek,

  To complete what Chantal, assuming that the 1 cm is the total width covered by 5 lines:

  (A) if the original form of the spiral should be in the Center (the center one):

  A1 object) > path > Offset path 0,5 cm (5 mm);

  This will give you an a path closed;

  Deselect a2) and with the direct Selection tool ShiftClick, both end of path segments and remove them;

  This will give you a path offset on each side as well as the original;

  A3) object > blend > blend Options set spacing of the steps specified in the step 1.

  A4) select all the paths and the object > blend > make.

  You can object > blend > Expand to have real paths if you wish.

  (B) if the original form of the spiral must be in one of the sides (the exterior or interior):

  B1) object > path > Offset path 1 cm (10 mm);

  This will give you an a path closed;

  Deselect B2) and with the direct Selection tool ShiftClick, both end of path segments and remove them;

  This will give you a path offset on each side;

  B3) remove that unwanted/useless.

  This will leave you with the desired offset path and the original;

  Object of a4) > blend > blend Options set spacing of steps specified with 3 stages;

  A4) select all the paths and the object > blend > make.

  You can object > blend > Expand to have real paths if you wish.

• Path to compensate for color change question

  Hi, I'm having a problem trying to change the color of my offset path on text.  I tried to follow the tutorials to youtube, but I can't seem to do things.   I use Illustrator CS6 is said by the way.

  I create the text, vectorize, separate from the text, then go to the pathfinder and Ctrl-click 'unit' on the modes of the shape for the compound shape.  Then I add the offset path.  My problem is that when I try to change the fill color, the offset path and text change color as a single object.

  In one of the tutorials I looked, a second layer of track appeared when the lag fix was created.  Then the instructor just clicked on the new compound path (path offset layer) and changed the color independently of the text.  This extra layer is not displayed for me.  I see the little "doughnut" next to my path in the layers panel layer fills and the offset appears in the appearance above the layers panel Panel, but I can't change the color of the independent offset of the text color.

  Here is a picture of the logo that I am trying to imitate:

  

  I wish that the "G." to be green, while the rest of the text would be white with a black outline/offset path.  Best scenario would be to have the path shift around the entire text, while that have the ability to change the color of individual letters.

  Here's a vid of how I try to do this:
