The help of Illustrator on Mac

Running on an iMac (end 2013) with Yosemite 10.10.5 Illustrator CS - 5 version 15.02

I am learning Illustrator. Transition from a lifetime of Autocad.

Try to draw a schematic diagram.  Review the Adobe Help and various tutorials. Biggest problem is that Apple will not run Flash tutorials.

The software doesn't seem to correspond to any description help/tutorial I can find... i.e. the directions do not work on my system.

Example: Try to create a schematic "fuse". It is essentially a single cycle of an AC waveform.

I start by drawing an arc - it is a quarter circle. When I press OK, the CRA is blue, as if still selected. If I try to draw another arc, the initial arc disappears.

It must be simple; y at - it a tutorial I can reach to understand this (and future) problems?

Please check in map mode. Maybe he just has no fill or stoke.

Older versions of the manual can be downloaded here: Help for older versions of Adobe Illustrator

Also: You are using a version of Illustrator on an OS that are not compatible (fully) from May. So many things can happen.

  • The help of Illustrator to design a large mural

    Hello

    I use Illustrator to design a large fresco, which is printed on the vinyl and stuck to the wall.

    The mural is 2.4 m high and 8 m wide (I'm working on the file in Illustrator at the 10% level). It includes many elements individual raster (.psd files as they need transparent backgrounds), which have been analyzed and placed in the file as linked files. These are repeated and individual scaling.

    The problem I have is that the size of the file becomes quickly if large as Illustrator even often fails to load the file when I double-click on it from my file Explorer, and it is very difficult to work with. I had the time this when designing the mural by having two copies of each file raster; a low and high resolution, but it does not get around the fact that, at some point, I will need to send the file to the printer at full resolution.

    I hope that all makes sense!

    Does anyone know how I can work on a file of this size without my computer grinding stop?

    I would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you very much.

    Design version low resolution. Make 2 or 3 parts in single files and make the version high resolution.

    At least that's what I'd do.

    Edit: and discuss with people in print.

  • How to use Adobe color cc with the help of Illustrator?

    hhijacks

    I am able to see my color themes in the libraries Panel in illustrator, but I can not add to my color chart to use their help!

    The only way to do that in Illustrator, currently, is to place your themes of color on top of the canvas and then create a color group using the tool group of colors in the palette swatches. I created a video to show how this can be done.

  • The help of illustrator to create flex skins

    Hello

    I want to create a border with only the top right and bottom right corners. I had read somewhere that I can create the image in Adobe Illustrator, somehow use the code in the mxml for this container of border skin (by using the < path > tags). No idea how to go on this subject? Help, please!

    In addition, how to import psd images .psd files IE in a flex project 4?

    PS: If you have Flash Catalyst, you can transform your Illustrator in real MXML graphics. It is very nice.

  • The help of illustrator for iOS graphic animations and frame (newbie question)

    Hey there,

    I just want to get opinions and advice.

    We develop a sidescolling 2D game and I created in illustrator 2D graphics,... so far so good, right now I have a few characters designed.

    Now for the character poses, positions and framed by picture animations... hmmmm.

    I've been looking for examples of ways to create movements of character and positions in illustrator, but as the still have not found good examples or explanations.

    Would anyone care to share (or tell me some examples) workflow allows you to create different poses and positions using character illustrator...

    (eg. should I import my work in flash to use the BONE tool?) Or do I have to create every variation in illustrator and copying my character and manipulation)

    It's really up to you. Best practices depends on the specific animation that you generate. Whether semi automating your not frame-by-frame in Flash (using the functionality of the OS), or in Illustrator (using mixtures, effect change, etc. etc), seriously, I hope that the result is always being of tweens just on a frame-by-frame. In other words, even if I've not played with it (my interest in Flash is more on scripted animations), I doubt that the animation of bone resulting will be actually programmatic in the final SWF. I think it will be actually returned in the silent individual frames. (Check this should be fairly easy to do some simple tests and checking the size of the files.)

    For example: even if a single was use BONES to animate the behavior of scanning with a dial indicator, I wouldn't with script, with a frame by frame. But if I wanted to do a connected movement of a series of related vertebrae using bone would likely benefit.

    So, if the nature of your animation is such that the inverse kinematics is advantageous, (a series of several joints) using bones in Flash would be probably more convenient, easier to change after the fact and simplifies the effects of flexibility and decay. Otherwise, if it is a simple linear movement or change in shape, you could probably do as well in Illustrator.

    Now, if the inverse kinematics (the real behavior of the BONES tool) may actually be interactive in the final SWF, it's a completely different thing.

    Whatever it is, with the exception of works of art very simple, I would tend to draw the basic shapes in a drawing program, and not in the Flash authoring environment.

  • With the help of Illustration CC, how to find a code Elizabeth?

    I need to find a Pantone Code of a CMYK color. When I go to color book and click on Elizabeth + Solid Coated I no longer get the number. All solutions?

    Try selecting your art and choosing Add colors selected from the context menu of color chart.

    But what I still don't understand why you need a Pantone Solid color number if you are printing in CMYK mode.

    If I open Thunderbird, I can connect to my e-mail address and download the messages. If I select "Get Mail" once again, Thunderbird crashes and fails to connect to my emails. If I then close Thunderbird and re-open it, I'm able to immediately connect to my mail.

    It seems to have sorted itself after a few days. (Fingers crossed). Until today it worked properly. Will keep an eye on things for the next week and the report does so again.
