Path of an object

• Object > path > divide the object below Question

  Hello

  CS6

  I'm cutting a segment of the portion of the line of the object below between the black lines. I'm doing it with the object > path > divide the object below.

  

  However, instead of the blue part is cut off, the black lines are cut.

  

  I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  This line is only a stroke?

  You must first develop it.

• How to align objects in a path while scattering objects in space even with a decrease in size?

  Hello

  I am facing following problems:

  I'm suppose to draw a spiral, and on this path I want to align a symbol to her (in my case a circle).

  Now, I've found two ways how to him.

  First of all, I can use the brush palette and then apply my symbol to it. but the problem is the size circles are the same, but I need the circle to get the smaller toward the center of the spiral

  Second approach I took, I have used the merge options between two objects that I attach also a path. So I could solve the problem on the reduction of the size but has now another problem appear: the gaps between the circles are not same. I would like to have the same spaces.

  So now my question is: How can I fix this my problem?

  To better visualize my problem, you can consult this screenshot here: http://goo.GL/PEvZI

  If anyone can give me a tip or a trick, I would be very appreciation there.

  Thanks in advance...

  Kind regards

  You're welcome, Natla.

  As in many cases, it makes a big difference what is the exact task, and the responses reflect the understanding of it.

  As I understand the images and explanations, it would take a linear growth of the circles, distributed with a constant, possibly no zero distance between them.

  From the I proposed a way to get a linear growth of the circles, with a constant distance (zero or not zero) between them, which would operate independently the proportions, so things could be adjusted.

  The effect of transforming, as suggested by James, gives a more simple solution to the simpler task of exponential growth of circles and zero distance between them; with different proportions it will give increasing distance, or overlap.

• Looking for a way to test if the lines in a path crossing all objects?

  What I want to do is to select an open path and generate a table of all the objects in this path crosses.  Here is a picture to illustrate:

  

  The green line would be selected.  The script would go and fill a table with pointers to each yellow square that crosses the line.  Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done in javascript?  Or if it is at all possible?  Help is appreacited, thank you!

  What? a new document function? I'm not a joke CS5 DOM has a new function! I know... it's hard to believe. And with it, new doors seem to open, as test if a path crosses the little yellow square... no required math problem.

  selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard() / /.
  

  #target Illustrator
  
  /* loops thru all objects to test for intersection with
      a path (path must be top object), start with nothing
      selected. Script assumes, 1 artboard.
   */
  
  var idoc = app.activeDocument;
  var yellowSq = idoc.pathItem;
  var abRect = idoc.artboards[0].artboardRect;
  var tempRect = abRect;
  var yellowSqs = [];

• Type in objects/paths but also several paths in the object/path etc.

  Hi all

  I would ask what seems like a basic question, but have difficultyin trying to figure out my own to solve.

  Here's my situation.

  I said for example a graphic form of a ring and a donut looks like a circle with a circle inside it.

  I know that you can fill the whole donut so that it was a circle with text/type.

  But say if I have a shape of a ring and the central circle was added later, if you have a set, I want to have the text do not go through the hole, but next to it and then continue on the other side, from left to right.

  With what I do I have someone standing hands on hips, I have three items separated, the outline of the whole person and the hole between the body of people's arms, the left and right, but every time that I add text, he goes through the holes, I don't want to line-by-line crossing horizontally to fill the body of people , but I don't know how!

  I hope this make sense, I tried to search for tutorials but couldn't find something that fits what I'm trying to do, so I thought to come here, someone has an idea how to do what I ask?

  
  Also, I tried all the combinations with the pathfinder, trying to join, cut, unite, intersect etc but don't find the right combination!

  If any enthusiast of the Illustrator could help, it would be much appreciated, im works with illustrator cs4.

  Thank you!

  It's the very simple thing to do

  the offset is a judgment not any specific amount.

  the paths are drawn closed, yes a form.

  Here is a video

• How do offset you path as the path of the object/trace/offset?

  I can't seem to find it in the rest of the Action, is there an easy way to do this or do I have to use TransformArt?

  Unfortunately, shift of path is not available in API which is a real shame, because it's a damned useful capacity. Fortunately, you can use actions to set it off (although I still hate to fall back on stocks). There are nice www.shemale sets for this good; You'll have to reverse engineer the parameters. It's not too hard, its just a little annoying the first time save it once - do note the parameter you use (I think it's just the amount, so its easy) then save action save you to a file .aia. You can open it in a text editor, and since there is only one action, it should be easy to understand the parameters (if there is more than one).

  One thing that I can remember, is the string fields are encoded in as:

  454823912303...

  Where every two digits are a character (I think) hexagonal. Like I said, boring, but you only need to do once.

• Pathfinder and the path of the object/questions

  I downloaded the new application Illustrator Friday - Monday now and the Pathfinder tool is in every way! I use this tool every week and have done for many years. Expansion of the vectors (contour line) and cutting shapes (Pathfinder) creates new and exciting forms but none that I'm after, or must happen!

  All the fixes on the horizon... So hope I am finalizing a logotype and creates headaches for me.

  See you soon

  Chris

  I'm not sure what you're talking about without seeing examples, but it looks like snap to grid of pixels is the cause of the problems.

  Select your artwork and check these options (and disable them).

  

• 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

• 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

  

• Return of object path

  I would like to return the path of an object in its javascript code.

  Is there an attribute that will help me to do this?

  Thank you

  Not sure understand your request.

  To get the path of an object with the XML of an XFA form structure, you can use:

  this.somExpression;
  

  This request will display something like:

  xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].Page1[0].Name[0]

• Properties of the output array object

  I worked on a simple script to pull machine virtual hard disk and the number of unique a VM vm/mutiple SCSI

  But the output returned as an object + properties for EACH disc, what I want is a table without titles, or each vm as the object and HardDiskName, ScsiId, SizeGB, RawDeviceId, path as properties.

  Any ideas?

  for example

  >.\Get-VmHdScsi.ps1 - VM vm1

  Path of the RawDeviceId SizeGB HardDiskName ScsiId VMName

  ------     ------------ ------ ------ ----------- ----

  VM1 disc 1 0: vm1/vm1.vmdk 0 36 [datastore]

  Path of the RawDeviceId SizeGB HardDiskName ScsiId VMName

  ------     ------------ ------ ------ ----------- ----

  VM1 disc 2 0:1 8 [datastore] vm1/vm1._1.vmdk

  Path of the RawDeviceId SizeGB HardDiskName ScsiId VMName

  ------     ------------ ------ ------ ----------- ----

  VM1 Disc 3 0: vm1/vm1._2.vmdk 2 26 [datastore]

  Move those out of the loop.

• Paths related to the links in Adobe Muse

  Is it possible to create paths relating to objects placed outside the Assets folder in Adobe Muse?

  Thank you!

  If you are wondering if there is a way to have the Muse to transfer a file to one location other than the current folder and offer a choice of link for it in the drop-down list of hyperlinks, the answer is no.

  If you're wondering how to create a relative link, you can simply it enter into the editing area of hyperlinks (for example type "mystuff/theassetfile.doc"), but it is up to you to download the file "assetfile.doc" in a folder 'mystuff' at the root of your site using a FTP software.

• How can I change a path that I extruded 3D?

  When I use the change source button I often get the path of another object in the document, or no path. It's very frustrating. Thank you

  It seems that, as you have already merged the layers. You can not get the desired results.

  Please try to change the 3D extrusions without merge layers.

• 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.
