• 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

  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).

  

• Fracture of Pathfinder and white lines

  Hi guys,.

  just 2 questions

  1. I made a simple illustration by building eyes with circles and areas of cropping with the line tool in the Pathfinder Palette.

  http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1Bmm4LEGSljTvykkAx1L16fsq2hi

  However, when I imported into Indesign or when I look closer, I see a white line. I select all drawing of the EXPAND button is not available.

  Could if it you please let me know how to get rid of this one of white line?

  2 - why the work of InDesign or Illustration screen always seems strong and crisp and export to PDF it is as a "more daring" look thicker font? Especially when I look at the work in full screen.

  You're welcome, Sebs.

  In Reader, you can edit > Preferences > General > display > use Type Cool and set up Cool Type (the latter to settle).

  Otherwise, you may be stuck with thick letters on screen. I presume that it looks right in the press.

• Pathfinder and path blocked.

  Hello

  I have a little problem. I designed a new project it's half of them:

  I select the problem with rectangular. I don't know how to use pathfinder or maybe it's the other way to do it. But the problem. It is simple I want to delete this part of my journey to call 'fat' that go behind my black pewter line. When I used the pathfinder to a attracted a new rectangular with black outline, white background and use trim I lose my way. Any idea?

  Vascular cerebral accidents cannot be cut. You need to convert them to text converted to outlines expanding the object. Altrernately, you can use the clipping masks.

• The pen tool and Pathfinder problems

  Help... I'm trying to follow a tutorial create a vector image (first time) I use the pen tool to draw the curve in a an elipse shape then split as a Scout, but it adds an extra line when I hit the button the last thing the first pathfinder and fills my way instead of staying as a line that I can remove the form... anyone help please.

  Are you sure that it does not fill when you draw with the pen tool?

• Form loses color when I use Pathfinder > Exclude to cut a hole

  I'm just following some instructions on how to cut a hole in a circle transparent, so that the bottom is visible through the hole with the help of Illustrator (CS5).

  This is my starting point. All backgrounds are disassociated from the individual objects, and all are a circle colored with a small white circle on top.

  

  I then selects the white circle (the circle centre is white smaller circles on top one more large colorful circle) and the underlying green circle thus:

  

  I then use the Pathfinder tool and exclude according to the instructions, but it happens:

  

  Any ideas why the color disappeared rather than leave a green hoop with no way?

  If I do this on a clean game of darts, by creating a large green circle, then a small white on top and then Pathfinder / Exclude, it works fine. The green circle now has a hole.

  Thanks in advance.

  I discovered the solution of messing around with the tools of Pathfinder and has decided to leave this place in case someone else has the problem.

  Rather than use Pathfinder > exclude following the instructions, I used Pathfinder > less prominent.  This example uses the foreground object (if you have selected more than one object (i.e. two circles bunk in my example) like a strawberry and leaves behind a transparent hole.)

  The circles are now contours (I know I could have created circles thick contours in the first place, but I inherited file .ai Adobe Stock and therefore had to work with what I had).

  Hope this helps others.

• I'm taking a vector object, say a flower, compensate for a path, then get a vector path around the outside edge of the offset.  I take my flower, add a line, compensate for this trait, then select Add to Pathfinder, which gives me visually the exact offse

  I am taking a vector object, say a flower, compensate a path then get a path independent vector around the outside edge of the offset.

  I take my flower, add a line, compensate for this trait, then select Add to Pathfinder, which gives me visually the exact shape of offbeat perimeter I'm looking for.  The problem is that this isn't a vector path in its own right.  Is there a way to get Illustrator to recognize the lag shot as it is vector own way? 

  Please forgive me if my terminology is off that I am not a formally trained graphic designer.

  MP,

  If I (put) understand it, object > decaying appearance.

  There is a difference between effect > Pathfinder and window > Pathfinder.

• How would you recreate this with Pathfinder?

  A few days ago I played with the Pathfinder and created this form. I rather like the look of it and I wanted to go back and make some adjustments, but I can't for the life of understand me what combination of options Pathfinder I used to achieve this. (NOTE: the Green object is a flat single unique object, it's the main thing I'm trying to recreate, only one path unified line.)

  

  Initially, I created the object by taking a rounded rectangle with a stroke and turning and copy around a central point, then adding a circle on top of everything. I've expanded the forms so I with separate paths for the race and the main rectangle shape. I remember using only a few clicks of Pathfinder, it wasn't the cleanest work because I had to use Simplify to remove a lot of redundant points, but it was pretty quick.

  

  Because of the way that all rectangles are superimposed on top of the other, no matter what I do I can't seem to replicate properly. Each end product ends up looking like this in one way or another. Only, I can't figure out what I did to get this unified Greenway that retains the appearance of rectangle in layers around the edges.

  

  Any of you have an idea on how I could do to recreate this object? Or curvilinear unifier of several forms of layers?

  Select all

  Object > expand appearance (If available)

  Object > expand

  Click Merge on the Pathfinder Panel.

  

  You are not absolutely "need cut art, however. You can easily set this up with a simple rectangle, the effect of the transformation and a circle. Except if you want to change things, otherwise leaving 'live' may have advantages. In fact, I developed the appearance to the image on the left above so that each rectangle was a separate path.

• I can't find the pathfinder Panel in illus cs4.

  I looked in my menu of the window and he is not there as a choice. I typed in Pathfinder and pathfinder in the dialog Panel help

  and no word is found. Can anyone help. Please, I beg you.

  Thank you very much.

  Betsy W.

  You have a list to transform or align the panels? They are often anchored with the Pathfinder Panel. If no one does, it's probably time to reset the preferences. Simultaneously press the command (Ctrl) + Opt (Alt) + SHIFT when you start reset preferences.

• White on black with a small font printing: can I use rich black?

  Hi, I am preparing a file for a press magazine ad. I have a text in 8pt Futura Book which is white on a black background. Can I do the dark rich-ish black background (say 20.20.20.100) or do I stay with 100 k only? Thank you!

  To be on the right side (as others have pointed out), use white text on a background of 100%.

  But has Illustrator to a Pathfinder trap function that allows you to get in what has been described by dandid "roll back the other colors in some areas so that white text is struck on a single plate"

  But you'll lose the editability of the text.

  Convert Type to outlines.

  Select the text and rich black background.

  Choose View > Pathfinder and trap to select in the Menu of Pathfinder.

  Check reverse traps.

  This will create a small area around the type without the CMJ (almost, he is now 0.1%).

• How can I remove the button STROKE but keep the other?

  I'm outlining a skyline of the city. I'll do it in pieces, and then select the pathfinder and create a solid form. I want to have a white line on all lines except the lower part. How do I eliminate the background race and keep the other?

  Thank you.

  You need hide the entire shape. Simply place a rectangle above the form, which cuts above the bottom and with the form and the rectangle selected, choose ' object > clipping mask > make.

  This assumes that the bottom is a straight line. If this is not the case, the mask rectangle may need to be changed.

• Delete the path related, keep the forms?

  In the image below, for example:

  I traced this gun. I added a shot to make the thicker trace.

  Now, what I want is to do is: be able to select all the lines drawn black, and

  remove the outline AND the CEREBRAL vascular accident. Not only make the line or transparent contour.
  I want to remove the stroke and the stroke and let the white shapes that make firearms,

  and in this way the Red shows where were the black lines.
  As if to create a design of cutting where the black is cut off, leaving white

  forms that make the weapon to fire.

  I want that the thickness of the lines and strokes to stay the same during the removal. So that the

  Gap is the same between the white shapes that make weapons to fire.

  I hope I'm supposed.

  Is this possible with Illustrator CC 2015?

  

  Here is a video of another way to do it. I quickly sketched the image with a Uni fill and STROKE.

  Then, using the tools of pathfinder and describing the stroke. See if this is an option for you.

  Edit: I know I missed the show!

• How can I use the Brush tool to merge an envelope distort > Warp > Pavilion Rectangle with a normal rectangle?

  

  I want to make two rectangles in a single form, so I can add a swatch or degraded her.

  When I use the form generator tool it does not record the rectangle distorted envelope option available.

  I also tried to merge in the pathfinder and who does not work either.

  Select the Warped object and choose object > break down.

  Then use the Pathfinder or Shapebuilder.

• Can you please indicate the term for what I'm doing?

  Hi, I am very new to Illustrator and trying to do something I do not know how. If you could please tell me what it is known as and I'll try to find a tutorial on how to do it?

  I have attached an image I exported from Illustrator, I added two squares of rounded corners, each has an accident stroke 3pt in white, what I'm doing is where the upper right corner of the lower part is hidden behind Kelly, I want to show the race then you'd see a gap where the two meet. The ditch would then have two round and two square edges.

  Thank you for reading this and I would appreciate some advice on where to look for help?

  HELO im a noob and I don't have a specific name for you try to do, but to get your desired selection your two objects, open the pathfinder and select devide, hope it works

  

• How to cut text through several objects?

  Here is exactly what I'm doing:

  I have a graph of blue that I superposed horseshoe a purple on Ribbon.  On the Ribbon, I typed 'Celebrating 40 years.' I want to cut this text through the Ribbon AND the Horseshoe in order to make transparent and has the color of the white background without having to actually use white as the color.

  After searching online, I thought that I thought about it. I selected the text and converted to outlines.  I selected it and the part of the text Ribbon was on and is gone to the pathfinder and less before.

  It worked partially. The text essentially cut through a layer and partly taken from the background color white. However, the Ribbon graph has dark purple corners where it folds which still shows the text that sits above it AND the part of the text that was still on the blue Horseshoe now showed through in blue.

  How can I get the text to cut through all this is on top of. I tried to select all, then the text as outlines and the hit before, but this does not work. I'm certainly not a pro Illustrator all the instructions step by step would be much appreciated.

  Shannon,

  You can just use black direct Type (no need to describe) on top of all that you want to cut through, and then select all of the items whose Type (celebration of 40 years) and in the Transparnecy palette dialog box click on the opacity mask to do with two Clip and mask Invert unchecked.

  You might also get away with just using white Type, which means no impression, but the reverse is safer, and you can see what you have found.
