Question of anchor Point

I seeks an achor point in the middle of an image for all executives leading up to a point, then have the anchor to another point, and then finally have the anchor switch back.  I tried to do this with keyframes on the anchor, but the problem is that when I move the anchor point in a second keyframe (the first key frame with the anchor point original position), the position of the image change when I go back to frames before the second keyframe.

In other words:

I'm trying to move the anchor point without affecting the position of the image for this particular animation.  Animate the anchor point seems to affect the position of the image.  What can I do?  Keyframe the position to stay still? Is there a better way?

The first question I have is why do you want to do this?

If you rotate or scale around the point of anchorage and you want to change the axis progresses the animation then maybe I'd understand, but this is the kind of a wonky workflow for me.

Whatever it is, try to add this expression to the value of your position:

apAdjust = anchorPoint  - [width, height]/2;
value + apAdjust

Change the anchor now now will not change the position of the layer. This works for 2D and 3D layers.

  • Align to the left the text anchor point in After Effect

    Hello. Sorry if this question was very noovy, but I need left align multiple layers of text. So, I want to put my on board left the text anchor point. Because I need to be able to change the text and get the same effect, I would like to place the anchor point on the left edge by using an expression.

    I used something like

    x = 0;

    Y = this.sourceRectAt () .height/2;

    [X, Y]

  • Anchor points will not connect even when "intersection".

    Hey guys

    So my question is, for example, I have 2 lines with an anchor at each end. When I drag on the anchor line anchor the other end line in order to connect them I see green lines, saying that they cross so I line and release the mouse button. The line that I drag then moves to the side, and they're more connected. When I see in the outline I see that the lines are not connected. I try dropping them on in map mode, same problem. It is the same for all the anchor points, including on forms except those drawn with the pen tool.

    I've been job id document and it was working fine until just recently, then it stopped working and I had the problem that I pointed out above. When I open a new document, it works fine. When I copy my designs in a new document, all lines that came from the old document still have this problem but all the new lines or shapes I create join perfectly. I want to continue to work on this document that I have spent a lot of time on it to this day though I need points to align and connect when I join them.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    chapachap,

    In such cases, the first assumption is aligned to 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.

    Here is a screenshot of exquisite made per ton in the first post:

    In addition, if you want to join them in a path, you must select them and Ctrl / Cmd + J (with an apology for possibly stating the obvious (too) you already know).

  • How to set anchor points for objects that have appiled effects scroll?

    I design a one page website with several sections. Each section is scrolled upward at different speeds. Each section also has the key frame different starting points. Most of the sections overlap in fact when in Design view. None of the sections scroll left or right... just straight up.

    How do I set anchor points so that when displaying in the top browser of each section is at the top of the browser window?

    Answered my own question...

    I made my own rule using the tool box and simply marked the length of pixel in design mode, I then saw in the browser and worked on how far down the page that I had scrolled gave me an exact figure to set the anchor point.

  • My anchor points are moving on their own

    Help! I do an illustration of polygon for a job which can have several future applications requiring a scaling for different sizes. However, as soon as I started to draw, my anchor points have been flapping around and objects evolved out of the spot where I placed the. Frustrating as it is. I finished the drawing, all tied up with the options "Align" keep, but now when I try to narrow the Group of polygons, for example, the form A3 of drawing in an A5 invitation, everything falls apart at the seams. At one point, even my fonts indicated erase us the curves and losing paths when I shrunk the. Now, the question seems to be intermittent (my intern even got the superstitious idea that it must do a few feet from my computer to prevent it from happening) but it is especially frustrating because I need to create more than three or four of them as soon as possible!

  • The tolerance setting works for the "Convert anchor point tool"? Are there other ways?

    Hello
    I wonder if the setting "tolerance"in the preferences only works for the arrow tools?» I put it to 8 pixels and it seems OK for these tools, but when I use the tool 'Convert Anchor' point it is incredible difficult to hit a point for me. It seems that I have to hit a point exactly one pixel, which is hard with a screen high resolution.
    My PC keeps beeping all the time and I'm getting crazy on this subject...
    It seems that the framework of tolerance doesn't work here, I'm right? There are other parameters that could help me to work with this tool?

    Sorry if this is the kind of a beginner question, I have much experience with PS and LR, but not so much with Illustrator (and I couldn't find anything useful in the internet).

    Thank you
    Raschko

    I agree, it is sometimes difficult to click on the sweet spot. Here are 3 proposals:

    1. Pay attention to the cursor icon. This will change when you are on a point anchor or direction.
    2. Try to turn on 'bearings commented. They can be a nuisance, but they are sometimes useful.
    3. Use the button "convert" on the Options bar. They may take a little longer but they are full-proof, moreover, you can convert or remove several selected points simultaneously using this method.

  • 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.

  • Need help to remove the small white lines between attached forms. Still visible even after aligning anchor points.

    Hey, I'm new here, so many apologies if the community has been asked this question several times before. I do a quick search, but couldn't find an answer to my problem anywhere. Would be very grateful for help.

    I'm quite a beginner with Illustrator, so this may be something embarrassing simple!

    But as the title says, I have a very frustrating problem, trying to create an image of polygon. I've been using the pen tool to make triangles, then join all my anchor points with the horiz/vertical align Center. Roads joined look good, until I have add color... Triangles have a very light white line on them, I have tried to delete the anti alias, which solves the problem, but then the triangles look pixelated. Even when you import into Photoshop the pale lines are visible, as well as when the file is merged or saved as a JPG file.

    I've seen some very impressive polygon art and forms look seamless when joined.

    Here is an example of the problem. Ideally, I'd like that forms merged without rough lines.

    See you soon! Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    poly 1.jpg.

    BRI,

    I just read it again.

    align the center of horiz/vertical

    works on objects, rather than Anchor Points.

    You can have triangles which fail to assemble completely.

    Try this, smart guides are your friends:

    Starting with the last triangle (you can see the stacking order in the layers palette), click the path to find) and work your way upward as follows:

    1) click on the lower triangle with the selection tool.

    2) click on one of the neighbors, and move it to the bottom to be second in the stacking order, then move it a little far, then ClickDrag back by one of the Anchor Points to be aligned corresponding to the lower anchor (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there).

    (3) with the ClickDrag Direct selection tool other anchor Point to snap (you can drag a bit far and back until the Smart Guides say anchor);

    Who should ensure a full adjustment between the two less triangles

    4) continue until you are finished with the other triangles.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    multiple points.JPG

    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.

  • Selection of anchor Points of trace

    Hi all

    I'm trying to get a grip on targeting way anchor points. What I try to do, is to select/deselect only some points anchor, but so far I'm not sure, and can't seem to understand how well target path points/anchor points for the selection. I can't select all the anchors only some of them from the other logic Finally I write once I know how to target initially ;-)

    So my question is: How do you go way points/anchor points for the selection of targeting? Selected = true or false CAN apply to pathPoints/anchors, if so how?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, here I chose the second anchor to the top element of path more

    var idoc = app.activeDocument;
    var ipath = idoc.pathItems[0];
    var pp = ipath.pathPoints;
    
    pp[1].selected = PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT;
    
  • The path segments and anchor point conversion

    Once again, coming from CorelDraw background, working with paths and their anchor in Illustrator, seems me very little practice, but hey, I'm willing to learn. However, I could not find how to get this Illustrator basic functionality, and oh boy I searched a lot. So, here we go, maybe you guys can give me a hint.

    Basically, in CorelDraw, anchor points can be: cusp point, smooth or symmetrical and the correspondence path segments can be lines or curves, all of these can be set by little fast individually and for me somehow normal.

    Corel000.jpgCorel002.jpgCorel003.jpgCorel004.jpgCorel005.jpgCorel006.jpgCorel007.jpg

    Now in illustrator, I know how to use convert tool for shwitch to a smooth point to a corner anchor point or the other way around. But many times, after his conversion to a point angle, I would like to have the posibility to do one or the other line segments of a path or curve. How can I do this in Illustrator?

    It is also possible to reproduce the functionality of symmetrical knot in Illustrator, which is specific for an anchor point handles, are the same length, move synchronized and always 180 deg apart.

    Thank you and sorry if my questions are obvious, I can't find my energetic path in Illustrator.

    I'm really sorry for this announcement.

    Don't apologize. Your points are not invalid.

    Fact, it's simply, Illustrator does not provide an explicit anchor type that assures the tangency between the right and a segment of the curve (your screenshot third in your initial post). Draw is done. The fact Freehand (called connector Points). No Illustrator.

    Illustrator does not provide an adequate means for retrieving a single handful of anchor point. Allowing you to win almost end up disrupting the curvature of the adjacent section.

    Illustrator does not constraints anchors to symmetric handles of the same length. You can do this initially convert result to slip with the tool, or (recently) click the button convert to smooth in the control panel. But even once, there no special anchor type to ensure that the symmetry continues with future adjustments.

    If you continue to study carefully the differences, you will find several omissions similar and/or limitations in interface of Bezier path of Illustrator, for taken-for-granted things in other programs. For example, you cannot compel a length of handle adjustment (sliding) to the current angle. It's always been like that. The Illustrator Bezier interface is worse in their class. Too many tools; too few features.

  • How to align objects to anchor points for towing towing?

    Hello.

    I need align two objects by two anchor points within the framework of selection of objects. How can I do?

    scheme.jpg

    Ivan,

    Your options may depend on version; the following work overall.

    Especially if you want to be able to do it easily and for free, you can:

    (1) for each star, create a circle of nostroke/nofill (or rectangle) with a larger box enclosing;

    (2) the center of the circle on the anchor in question;

    (3) select the circle and star (you can combine them).

    After that, you can use Align and either move as you wish (towed by its towing anchor point). When (you're sure it's) done, you can (separate and) remove circles if you wish.

    It would be nice with a script or something that allows specific movements based on an anchor Point. Maybe someone already did.

  • Anchor Point & Management Points conversion tool

    To quote: this:

    "To convert a corner point without guidelines from a corner with guidelines first, independent point slide a point of direction on a corner point (making a point of inflection with guidelines). "Release the mouse button only (don't release the keys to activate the Steering Point conversion tool), and then drag two points."

    My question is:

    Once you have moved from a point of direction, with the Convert Anchor Point Tool, is it possible to then move the two points of direction at the same time? Or should we use the Convert Anchor Point Tool to convert this point into a point of inflection?

    How and why should I use it? I do not know; I do I just know everything about management points.

    Yes, you can move the handles of direction chosen at the same time by making the scale/rotation (a tool for transformation), but you cannot move them without moving the Bézier point.

    Try this

    Draw, then select a circle

    Select > object > guidelines handles

    Use the rotation tool
