rounded corner effect – Illustrator cs4

every now and again I have to quickly make a rectangle with rounded corners, then returns one or two of the corners in the shape to square corners.

CS3, round corner filter would alter the vector path of the rectangle, which gives "real" curves that then could easily be squared to the top by removing the curve points.

In CS4, the rounded corners option is an effect, and when I use the command "expand appearance" under 'object', I lose the route origin of the rectangle shape, rather get a solid, with a mask of trace to create the 'look' of a path.

The problem is that it is infinitely more difficult to change, now I can't square back one or two of the corners. Am I missing something?

Thank you for your help

Two things. Make sure the rectangle is done without the extra width or the height and make sure it is an empty path. I just tried in AICS4 and it worked the same thing you described.

  • Question of "round corner" effects. Cannot make it work.

    Hello. I am new to Adobe Illustrator and I have a basic question. I can't get the effect of 'corners' to work as seen in this tutorial:

    http://blogspoon.S3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/Skate-deck/picture-6.PNG

    I used the "Pen" tool to draw a line and I applied my type of brush saved in the line and it works fine. The problem is when I try to implement the "corner" effect on the line, as she bends to the way it does in the above screenshot. "." After applying the effect, I don't see any change visible, even when I put the RADIUS more than 200px. The line remains straight.

    No idea what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks 1million

    I don't think that this effect will do everything for the right line, you must have a corner to make the work of round corner.

  • Illustrator CS4 closes

    I just installed Illustrator CS4 on a new iMac and when you select a type, the program stops.  She leaves also when saving a file to the desktop, but will allow me to save a file in a folder.  I've corrected the problems of fonts which have been identified in FontBook and I can use fonts in Photoshop without any problem.  I also get the window "some plug-ins have been updated." You will need to restart Illustrator for the changes to take effect."  This window pops up whenever the program is restarted or after he left due to saving a file or choose a font.  It appears as if I restarted the program without it quit.  Any suggestions on how to correct these problems?

    Blaker,

    There are serious problems with CS4 on El Capitan. If the computer was made for Yosemite, you can consider switching to and use.

    Otherwise, you may need to move from CS4. The latest version of perpetual license (and the only one which can be purchased from Adobe) are CS6. Then it's the subscription of the CC.

    CS6 here (you need to use the phone number to the bottom):

    I have CS4 to work on Yosemite 10.10.5 by first reinstalling Illustrator and Photoshop.  Then, I looked for the PhtoshopExport.aip (or no matter what .aip gives you an error), and then I ran this file rather than Illustrator launched.  I was able to get the error message and check the box to not show this error again and am now able to use Illustrator no problem... until now.

  • Illustrator CS4 PSD files import problem

    I suddenly have trouble cleaning importing Illustrator CS4 files in Photoshop CS4.  I use these products for years and have done this hundreds of times without difficulty.  But all of a sudden, the resulting files are not smoothed.

    Illustrator files are saved with the PDF compatibility option checked.  I tried to place them (and by engaging - I know they're looking bad but clean after validation) and I tried to paste from Illustrator.  Not here are the relatively simple files with no font - text only - and no transparency or effects.  I also tried to save as EPS files, but without success.  I took to export PNG since Illustrator files and import that.

    I'm short on a recent Mac tower with a lot of everything.  OS x 10.6.7 and everything is up-to-date.  Adobe Creative Suite CS4.

    Could something has been corrupted?  Something might be interfering?  Is there a setting preference-"Import Illustrator files nicely" which must be marketed?

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    When you place an EPS, PDF file or HAVE - there is an option in the options toolbar that says "smoothing". Make sure it's on.

    If you open a file in EPS, PDF or AI - there is a checkbox in the first dialog box that asks you the page number, resolution, etc. that says 'Anti-Aliasing (in the Page Options group). Make sure it's on.

    Now, I don't think that its my system and another thing I noticed when you use the activity monitor to see how the system is used, it is practically nothing, very low 0.8%, etc, it's CPU, physical memory is virtually none, vm is not much, either with many other applications open, it uses almost all of my system , so where is Illustrator, taking his power, as its not not using much of my system?

    Thank you

  • Paste from Indesign cs4 for Illustrator cs4?

    Styles and effects applied to the type and graphics in InDesign CS4 and stuck in Illustrator CS4 print correctly on the press? They appear correctly when pasted into Illustrator.

    The PDF file will hold tasks, if they have been established as a task in InDesign.

    You will notice that you import the .pdf your palette swatches in illustrator will get new colors added. You can also in Illustrator use window > overview of separation (turn on overprint preview and then only turn only the visibility of the color you want to see)

  • Creating distinct shadows in Illustrator CS4... what happened?

    It is of course available in CS3, directly in the dialog box. Now that my office has improved my machine to CS4, I do not find the option or perhaps not being able to recreate.

    You can always create SEPARATE shadows in Illustrator CS4?

    Thank you!

    Not sure if I look what end result you're looking for with SEPARATE shadows, but nothing has changed between CS3 & CS4 regarding the shadows that comes to mind. Try selecting stand with a drop shadow and choosing object > expand appearance. This will separate your subject from the shadow. You will now have a chart incorporated for shade, which is separated from your object.

    Before that, you can change your Effects > effects of rasterization Document settings at 300 dpi, so you get enough resolution

    I hope this helps.

  • Illustrator CS4 like millimeters?

    Hello

    can someone please confirm that Illustrator (CS4) has problems (rounding errors) when you use millimeters?

    Try this if you want to:

    -Establish a setting general millimeter (preferences/units & display perf.)

    -Select the area Increments keyboard for 1 mm (preferences/general)

    -Set all 4mm (preferences/guides & grid) grid

    -Define the Subdivisions on 4 (preferences/guides & grid)

    -Create new Document (A4/mm)

    -Turn on: see the grid and snap to grid

    -Switch on the Panel info (Ctrl + F8)

    -Draw a rectangle or something else you like...

    Use keyboard up/down/left/right several times and observe the inconsistency... the object move sometimes 1 mm, sometimes 2 mm.

    Also show small fractions of millimetres instead of full millimetres (i.e. 157.999)

    I think that it is a serious mistake... because when you move items I prefer to use the keyboard... and with that, I'm never sure that the object move exactly the amount that I'm telling you what it...

    BTW. This problem will not occur if I use points to instead millimeters... for my part think in millimeters when it comes to translate/compensation objects ;-)

    Kind regards

    Roel

    Is it I move the way you say that maybe it's you have to line up on the grid running to try to turn it off and see if it does not move in increments of 1 mm it does here.

    I think you want to maybe one or the other. You can leave wink at on point.

    Which confirms the way you want it to run? He answered the question?

  • Better anti-aliasing in Illustrator CS4?

    Is it possible to get the best anti-aliasing for Illustrator CS4? I'm working on style cartoon designs that will be used on the web and Illustrator seems to have a problem really bad folding. Is there a way to change this? I already have "smoothing work" checked in the preferences and the effects of rasterization of the document, but curved lines are still fairly jagged looking. Things will look smooth when they are printed, but given that I will use this on the web they are always looking in staircase. Illustrator of can not regular curves? Is it possible to make lines appear smoother?

    See this example:

    No doubt about this and there should be no reason if we do

    manually, why the can not do something similar and make autmatic.

  • Merge Illustrator cs4 file new document

    Hi all

    I recently got an "unknown error occurred" with a file that I worked on in Illustrator CS4.  I remember there was a way where you could open a new Illustrator document and drag the file with the error in the new document, but from here, I don't know how this blend in where we can get back layers and objects of the file with the error for the new file.  Does anyone have some instructions on how to merge the document?  Thanks in advance.

    pwitman

    I tried with a file. What happens is that you get a linked file. Go in the links Panel and then select Image Embed. This will put the objects of the original file into the new file but IF effects any multiple appearances of the original file will be returned under the grouped objects, and are difficult or impossible to obtain as soon as they were. They printed probably OK, but what happens is that the file is re-created from the PDF of the file part that has been flattened so that the effects are more alive.
