• 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).

  

• Question of Pathfinder

  Hello

  creating the effect of a roll of paper with her conduct.

  Created the rectangle at the bottom end and placed on top of that a rectangle to "simulate a paper roll.

  I chose thje rectangle used effect - free deform and listening to the rectangle forms shaped to give the effect I wanted.

  I then selected the two parties and used the pathfinder tool to unite (also tried fusion), but when applied my rhomboid returned to a square.

  Did I miss a step?

  Thank you

  Ian

  Either expand the appearance of the rhomboid in the menu object, then use the Pathfinder. Or use the Pathfinder effects in the effect menu.

• Question of Pathfinder / forms to single object layering

  W/hat is the best way to convert these objects that overlap to a maintaining the appearance of the display?

  Thanks in advance to those who know more than me,

  I 'merge' anything that is black, including black of the ampersand, then "Subtract" white/transparent areas of the ampersand. They will act as a way so subtracted so be sure that you first make the white forms a 'route'.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I understand from the description of the problem, that the data USB key is icy windows. Let me know if I'm wrong. I'll be happy to help you on this question.

  Because the problem is solved in safe mode, there should be a few programs of third at the origin of the problem. I suggest you perform the clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

• Plan less first Pathfinder does not work with the lines?

  I'm all new to illustrator and may not have the vocabulary to ask this question well.  Please bear with me.  I want to remove the center of a shape from a bunch of lines

  Imagine that I have established a grid wavy using the Warp tool.  I want to place a circle on the top of the grid and then delete everything that is in the middle of the circle.  The result would be a grid with a hole of type Swiss cheese inside.  I need the parts circled the line actually be deleted (not just hidden) because I'll eventually use the model for laser cutting.

  I understand how to proceed when background objects are forms - such as a hole of Gruyère in another circle - using less before.  However, it doesn't seem to work if the background of the drawing is just a bunch of lines.

  Is there an easy way to do this?

  Thank you!

  Draw the circle:

  

  and a rectangle underneath which covers all - different colors are important

  

  All select and use the pathfinder "Outline."

  

  Give you this

  

  Take the magic wand and set it to stroke brain and tolerance 0%

  

  Click on the circle

  

  Remove. Then delete the rectangle.

• Beginner question: resizing/scaling of images, STROKE and workflow.

  Hi all.  I am new to the world of the Illustrator/design, so my apologies for what may seem like a stupid question and I thank you in advance for the advice.

  Basically, I created an image in illustrator that I want to use at different sizes.  I thought at the start: "Hey, it's all the stuff of vector, so I should just be able measure it goes up and down without problem!  However, I quickly realized that while paths are vectors, the stroke applied to paths are not, and they do not change proportionally when I adapt paths.  So, if I increase the size of the image, the objects that were once touching now have gaps between them, and if I reduce the size of the image, certain traits begin to overlap. Just to be perfectly clear on what I'm talking about, here are a few screenshots:

  Original	Image scale	Small scale image

  My questions are:

  1. Was my assumption that 'Illustrator files can be resized easily and inconsequential"simplistic and erroneous?  (It seems that it is!) Please help me understand how illustrator is or is not useful to create scalable images.
  2. Is the right way to manage this just to determine the need for size and have separate AI for each size files, or is there a way to 'better' which implies not manually kicks setting for images of different sizes?
  3. Third option of comedy!
     

  nvenet,

  The perception of the way it should be is correct; but there are a few strangenesses that can mess things up.

  An important one if you have strokes & effects of scale checked or unchecked, in this case, it must be checked, and I believe that it is unchecked.

  You can find it in the Transform palette dialog box.

  You can consider the object > path > feature of contour, then Ctrl / Cmd + SHIFT + G to ungroup, then Pathfinder > unite to change the path traced in a simple filling/nostroke. This will work regardless of features & scale effects.

  Another important is the ghost of pixel grid Align attribute which may haunt you, know well in other cases; often you can recognize by distortions. If it isn't:

  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.

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

• Question - integrate the shape text

  I have text that overlays a circle. The text extends beyond the circle on the left and right sides. I am wanting to integrate my text in this circle, with my text being non-remplissage (taking on the background color). However, whenever I have incorporate the text that the middle part is very good (non-filled), but the letters circulating on the circle briefly take on the outlines incorporate it. For example, my "O" that rolls on the outline of the circle brings a part of the outline of the circle passing by my "O". How can I get the command to embed to account for the portion of the outline of the circle during the integration process? Maybe it's a question of how to eliminate the line after the fact, or possible, remove the outline of the front of circle to incorporate (don't know how). Appreciate any help.

  Kind regards

  Bryan

  Put the text in vectorised text, use pathfinder at least before the type and the elected circle.

• Pathfinder tool

  
  Hi all! I'm fairly new to Illustrator and just had a few basic questions about some of the tools. I am wanting to know what exactly the pathfinder tool to do and what is each order under pathfinder useful for?

  Thank you

• Need help with what I believe, it's a matter of pathfinder - thank you!

  Hi guys

  I'm a relative newby on illustrator, using what knowledge I need to get by - your help would be much appreciated...

  I'm doing a bicycle wheel, I have two forms, a group of rays, and two, a circle, as if...

  

  What I want to achieve is to remove the lines running through the inside of the inner circle, it looks like this... (I cheated and filled the inside with white circle, so you can't see the lines behind it, but the paths still exist)

  

  I tried clicking on each option of pathfinder, but without success... just how to remove these lines that simply cross in the middle of the circle?

  Thanks a lot guys, I'm sure it's just a simple question but I would be extremely grateful, thank you!

  Joe

  Joe,

  If you want to cut the rays with the help of the Pathfinder options, you need object > path > Outline Stroke or similar.

  To get a transparent Center in a simple way, you can select the white cehat circle as well as rays and in the transparency palette opacity mask do ticks of the Launcher, with unchecked Clip and mask Invert checked.

  And what Steve.

• How can I remove the unnecessary anchor points ALL at ONCE? (pathfinder / path offset)

  Hello, I tried to seek answers on this topic, but it was of no use...

  I'm currently in trouble after too many anchor points "image path" or "path offset tool."

  1. I would like to know if there is a way to remove unnecessary points at a TIME. (e.g. multiple on stait line or duplicate anchor points points to an anchor point)

  -J' tried to "Simplify", but it changed the image too.

  -J' tried to "Remove points of redundancy" when using the 'image path' but it came out as below:

  

  2. sometimes pathfinder seems to duplicate paths. Is it possible to know that there are both duplicated paths eraseing double GOLD?

  Thanks for read this msg, I hope to hear from someone who has answers to my questions.

  You can buy clever graphics VectorScribe if you do this a lot.

  If not, redraw using the pen tool, as some authors have claimed.

• Can I get lines painted in Illustrator using pathfinder?

  Hello world

  It is a question of a total novice with Illustrator but I was googling like crazy without result, so any help would be appreciated!

  I'm experimenting with creating seamless models, using forms. I know how to crop shapes by using the pathfinder tool.

  I can do this by placing the different shapes on a square. I then glue a square of the same size in front of all objects, select all then and use the crop to scout tool.

  However if I try to use it with painted lines (or lines created with the online tool or the pen tool) it will not work.

  Is there a way to do it, or am I missing something very obvious? Thank you to everyone who takes the time to answer

  You must not cut the objects you put into a shade of reason. Simply put an invisible rectangle in the back. But in case you want to cut, first expand appearance.

• Fracture of Pathfinder and white lines

  Hi guys,.

  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.
