Selection of objects by path type (circles vs places)

Hello

I know that it is possible to select the paths with the same attributes is possible by select > same color etc or by magic wand to fill. But right now I have a situation with a lot of individual (200-300) overlapping circles with more than 200 to 300 places. Unfortunately, they are not combined, have the same opacity, fill color, stroke color and STROKE weight. If the only difference is we have Bézier curves, because it's circle and the other has none of Bezier curves because it's a rectangular shape. Is it possible to select the type of the channel, as only select traces of Bezier curve? Or are there other methods that I can differentiate the squares circles and select them?

I'm working on Illustrator CC 2014 and Windows

Thank you

It is a technique developed by Kurt Gold

1 make a pattern on an empty rectangle brush

2 Add a corner element which is made of one of the squares, recolored. You must create a square invisible background for the brush of boss at work

Apply the brush to one of the squares.

Apply also to the effect > Pathfinder add at the bottom of the pile Appearance

Make a graphic style out of this.

Then apply this graphic style of all your items

Select all. Object > expand appearance

You can now use the magic wand or something else.

  • Select all objects of a type using their size? (CS3)

    Hello!

    I hope you can help me and know the functions in Illustrator that I do not have .

    I'm in some trouble. The problem is that I have to work with this file, I can't ask for another.

    I have a fairly large-file dwg (it's an export of a digital map) with very many obstacles that are NOT classified (choose a category would be easy ).

    Thanks to this conversion of the card, it occurred at the end of each line there is a circle. I think that it is the result of a characteristic of the magnetic line in the geographic information system.

    Now, I need to eliminate all these circles (maybe hundreds of them).

    Is there a feature provided by Illustrator CS3 where you can get all the obstacles that are the same size?

    Each obstacle is in a clean diaper - but the layers with the circles are not yet named the same.

    I look forward to any type of troubleshooting - I am completely at a loss here.

    To illustrate the problem, I've attached a screenshot of an extract from the file - you can see all the circles sizes equal to the sides of the lines.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards

  • "selection of object by the path only" in Indesign?

    Hi, I have just changed to cs4 to 5.5 and can't seem to select an object, if it is another, even if the top element of a 'none' was complete. I know that I can hold cmd and select "via" objects but in cs4, I didn't need to do it as long as the top item had no fill. This preference can be enabled/disabled through the "selection of object by the path only" checkbox in illustrator, but I can't seem to find it in Indesign. Maybe I'm lazy who want to simply do not press the cmd button but it's just annoying the hell out of me for any clarification would be much appreciated.

    Ant.

    Hey Ant,.

    You use the 'Frame' Rectangle tool or the tool 'Rectangle '? I find that I selected the 'Frame' Rectangle tool, it will always be the selected object, even if it has no fill; using the "Marquee" tool, if it has no fill, you can select the objects below it without going through CMD-click.

    Hope that helps,

    See you soon!

  • Object of different Type

    Hi all

    I was puzzled and confused when I noticed that there are 2 different "object type". A type can be moved and the police may be distorted and the other guy is can be dragged and not distort or increase point police. Below is the screenshot for better understanding. Any help and advice are grealty appreciated. Thank you.

    drag to shrink.JPGdrag without shrink.JPG

    One is of type point, the other is the type of area.

    Filling type area a closed path as a block of text or a path shaped into a block of text in the shape.

    When you resize the frame, regardless of the it forms with the Selection tool or the direct Selection of the text tool revenues to fill the shape as a consistent flow in the matrix of the environment in the form of text. It lies in the path of the form.

    Point type however works with open path or paths closed but uses the path than its surroundings.

    You click and start typing that he will not return to the next line, until you give a carriage return or soft return. He can also use a path that defines a shape such that it the line as a circle.

    It will resize and distort if you resize. It is also called path Type.

  • Selection of object names?

    Has anyone ever select objects by their group name?

    I work with imported graphics, and objects appear in the layer hierarchy HAVE grouped and named according to their object types in the program of First Nations (see attached image). The problem lies in the annotation objects: they are made of different parts for different graphic styles are needed; However, they all come in a single layer and difficult to access for global operations. I need to do different things with different object types (deletion of the POINT, move the LINE and LWPOLYLINE at different layers, etc...). The ability to select individual objects is ok for small sets of data, but you can imagine that it becomes untenable in a hurry.

    Two possible solutions, that I considered:

    (1) change the output parameters in the source program, such as the objects come into illustrator with different graphics allowing them to be accessed through the tools of ' Select same...» » ; It would work, but a problem for the source program

    (2) print the graphics of annotation with their graphical appearance desired pdf rather than import the source file directly in artificial intelligence, then open in artificial intelligence to render the remaining graphics; again, this works, but introduces the inefficiency of the process. In addition, the printing process tends to explode the closed paths requiring more inefficient way tinker in artificial intelligence.

    I want to say HAVE to select all objects named 'POINT' or 'LINE' etc. but can't find anything in the documentation or forums on the question of if possible. Has anyone experience this problem? Is there a solution HAVE?

    Thanks, I'll post this question in the section script as well.

    LayersGroupsNames.jpg

    Actions interface includes a control that you can insert into any Action: select an object... This step of the Action can be used to select objects by the content of the text in the note field in the range of attributes (which is fine), but not by the name of the object in the palette layers (which is stupid). Who designs such things?

    Anyway...

    As the objects you want to select, and maniulate are already named when they are imported, it sounds like a simple solution could be just on each named pageItem Note. You can do it with just a few lines of Javascript:

    Start of script

    JET_X_SetNoteToName.jsx

    var docRef = app.activeDocument;

    var docObjects = docRef.pageItems;

    for (i = 0; i<>

    var currObj = docObjects [i];

    currObj.note = currObj.name;

    }

    End of script

    I just tested the script above on CS3, which is all that I have loaded on my laptop on Saturday morning. But it of about as simple as they come and work probably fine in later versions.

    1. Paste this text into a text editor. Save it as a text file named JET_X_SetNoteToName.jsx. Don't forget to include the extension ".jsx.
    2. Open a copy of one of your files.
    3. Open the palette attributes and the layers palette so that you can watch them.
    4. File > Scripts > other Scripts... Navigate to the script file and open it.
    5. Select one of the points of interest. Check that his name (in the layers palette) now appears also in his Note field (in the attributes palette).
    6. Flyout palette menu actions: new Action... Name "Select POINTs".
    7. Flyout palette menu actions: select objects... In the dialog box, type "POINT".
    8. Perform the Action. Objects called 'Point' should be selected.

    Create similar Actions for the LINE and LWPOLYLINE.

    Now you can develop Actions by adding steps to perform all operations you want to happen to them after SelectObjects stage. (Remove POINTs, changing STROKE weight and the color of the lines, etc. etc.)

    If the things you want to do the POINTs, lines and LWPOLYLINEs are always the same for each file, create of the graphic Styles to hold desired appearances (strokes, fills, etc) and name the graphic Styles accordingly. Then include in action to apply the appropriate graphic Styles. You can record your Actions and Graphic Styles for use in other documents or include them in a template file.

    So assuming that it is a recurrent need, you can kind of build yourself a "kit" project-specific solution by combining several features semi Automation: Scripting, Actions, Styles, graphics, models.

  • Remove the path type without deleting the path

    I accidentally created a path of kind of a way, I wanted to keep to a brush stroke. Whenever I select the type and delete the entire path is deleted. Or if I'm going to object > path > clean until... > empty text paths it tells me that there is nothing to clean up. I really wish to remove the path type if I can put a brush stroke on it instead of completely making the new path. It took me some time to create the path to the way I wanted it, so if there is a way to remove the type would be great. I searched on adobe site and Googling it and so far I have not found help. If anyone needs more information to help me understand that I will do my best to provide it.
    Thank you!

    If you were able to group - select just the path, make a copy and paste as I suggested.

    Keyboard shortcuts are Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Win) to copy. CMD + V / Ctrl + V for paste. (These are under the Edit menu.)

    This gives you a new copy of the original track with no remnants of the text. If you are satisfied, you remove the original path with text. Is not that what you want?

  • multiple selection of objects does not appear

    I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 on a Mac.  Usually, when I want to highlight several objects or simply click on one of the paths, then hold the SHIFT key, and select another.  Or I create a selection box and select what I want, and then press SHIFT and click on if there are roads that I want to exclude.

    Today, however, if I try to select several objects, rather than each illuminated object and show me that he selected or not selected, a large box surrounds the global zone boxing in the paths I have chosen, but it would light up individual objects.  This means that I can not tell if some of these objects are highlighted or all of them.  I'm just trying to figure out how to select things once again I can more easily tell what is and is not selected.  Thank you.

    How about Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + B to switch between showing and hiding the bounding box?

    Absence of any (other) cause/cure, try the list:

    Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 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), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    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 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.
