The tool pen and open objects: only center align STROKE?

Hey everybody,

I don't think I've noticed this before.  When you use a stroke on an object obtained via the pen which is not closed all aroundtool, it seems not that you can align the stroke to the inside or the outside.  I found it original.  Anyone know if this is normal behavior?

Thank you

Gustavo,

Yes, it is normal behavior for the stroke made options.

The reason is that there is no definition of what "inside" and "outside" of an open lane.

A. the more natural interpretation is the 'internal' is the same region that fills when you apply a fill color to a path open, namely the region who would be on the inside if you were to join the two ends. However, if used during the race, it would cause the race jumped from one side to the other when the path crossed that line of virtual connection (think of a form of S or N), and it is difficult to define the features of the race in the region. Cut out you the race to the area which would be filled or allow you to extend beyond this region?

B. an alternative interpretation (I think that's the one used by InDesign), is that the 'internal' is always on the same side of the way your trip on it, with the side being chosen as any side is the largest part of the fill area. For straight lines (which there do not have to fill) or for the railways where both parties have to fill areas equal, it should use a tiebreaker as always on the left as you journey starting endpoint, or always right.

C. another interpretation is to treat 'inside' and 'outside' very freely, so that one of them is reinterpreted to mean the left side (on the way in working order) and the other is interpreted to mean the right side.

Both interpretations have the advantage of the stroke never did switch from one side to the other, but they have the disadvantage that they do not coincide with the interpretation of the inside/outside used to closed roads, and that's why when you draw along to a new path, the race could change considerably when you close the path, including for intersecting paths such as figure 8. Both interpretations to the latter, B has the advantage that for the paths of the most common such as forms U or L that it coincides with the backfilled area, but the disadvantage that paths which switch the curvature as S & M, change the form of the trace can cause the race suddenly back on which side he is one. C has the compromise in front - the race will be not reverse unless you do something to reverse all the way, but the route of the road side would bear no relationship to the embanked area, which makes the wording 'inside' and 'outside' seems strange.

It would certainly be possible to capture some interpretations and just go with it, but the one that we were chosen, there kinds of paths where most users would prefer one of the other interpretations. For each option, I am sure many users would interpret the drawbacks to this choice than bugs.

HOWEVER...

If you are using CS5, you can use the feature of beautiful features to apply a stroke has 0 width of one side of the track and across the width of the other. This allows you to have unilateral traits on open roads and avoids all the problems and ambiguities that above, since beautiful features address explicitly all UN-centered as traits with a left and a right, whether they are open or closed.

  • All the program icons have the same appearance and open Windows Media Center

    k,

    It looks like you might be haunted by the Align attribute to the ghost of 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.

  • Help with the tool pen when moving CS5.1 to CC

    I never use PS, but still did not used to the tool pen in CC, especially when compared to CS5.1.

    I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how do things!

    In CS5.1 I could draw a path with the pen tool, then command-drag on the line between two points to change the shape of the path between these two points. In CC when I ordered-drag path of shape changes but made the way across two points, I am working on.

    In CS5.1 only the length of the handles Bezier control altered, in CC length and angle of the altered control handles, which affects the path I want to change.

    So what I am doing wrong? I use the pen and the path a lot and I'll have to go back to CS5.1 to do any series and complex path works because I can not familiarize themselves with the new CC pen tool. Help!

  • Why the tool pen decided to stop letting shapes on the tour?

    I am tracking a series of squares of aerial images of buildings. After I updated my illustrator, the pen tool decided to stop to let me do this in a clean way. For example, I'm doing a sketch for a shopping centre, a floor plan based. I draw a square, my next shape is a rectangle. I hold SHIFT key to allow the tool pen anchor immediately above one of the anchors of the place. Previously, I would, and everything would be fine. Now I'm doing it, and the second that I create my next point, it forces the anchor first outside the anchor of squares. It also leaves not the features overlap each each other. He moves. So instead of having two squares which affect, suddenly 1pt. Where they touch is now 2pt because moving automatically forms without saying me it. So I get my tool of choice to move the points back where I had originally placed. I have no slam on. In fact, it feels almost as if it is anti slam anchors. With glance on this subject makes it even worse. What is going on?

    Here's an example, let me remind you that all these places are supposed to be of the same width and with a uniform wall. The stylus moves my anchors in all directions.

    Mr Nagoo, I suspect it is because you have "" Align new objects to the grid of pixels"turned on (see the wheel of Transform Panel menu).

  • New path-layers of all lines with the tool pen?

    Hello! I am currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version, and when I use the tool pen to make a beaver (school work), it all end in a single layer. I want to have a new layer-path of each line with the pen tool, so I can remove rows from the layer panel too. For the moment, it's a layer that has a picture of a beaver, and I can't see the individual lines that I drew. When I used CS5 recently I had no such problem.

    There is a setting that I can change or does have something to do with the news of CS6?

    If you want to see a 'sex' for each object changes the display of the layer panel by choosing Options from the Panel menu in the layer panel. In the lower part of the Panel options window, make sure that groups and objects are both checked. You will then see a 'sex' for each object.

    I quote 'sex' here because technically they aren't the layers. They resemble layers and are in the layer panel, but they do not exactly allow options that allow actual layers. You can select and move objects in the Panel this way however.

  • Where is the tool pen?

    It is a very simple question that I can't understand, and this may sound stupid. Where is the tool pen? I'm pretty new to sequels, I used CS6 for a long time but now in DC, I can't find the pen tool, it used to be in a bar on the top and now it is not there. I feel very stupid, and there is probably a very simple answer. I want to make a mask. IM on mac using Adobe after effects 2015.

    the first thing I teach my students is "reset workspace. When you start with the software and it has so many shortcuts you'll ruin things. probably, you don't see the tools Panel. Windows-> work-> reset standard space.

    and if you want, you can use the shortcut 'G '.

  • How do I move the two forms at the same time using the tool pen

    If you work with multiple masters and the tool pen, you use the Ctrl/Cmnd key to change the pen of a selection tool that resembles a small white inverted V. You can drag a selection around multiple points on a path and then hold down the SHIFT key and select more points on a different path. Once selected you release the Ctrl/Cmnd key and when you go near a selected vertex selection tool appears again, but this time it is a small black reverse V. and drag.

    If you want to transform these points then all you have to do is press Ctrl/Cmnd + t when they are selected and you will actually have a better tool paths of transformation you get in Illustrator.

    He is essentially on the functioning of the tool pen in Illustrator if you select the direct selection in artificial intelligence (the key) and then the pen tool (p key) and use the Alt/Option key to switch to the top to convert or Ctrl/Cmnd to direct selection points.

    If you are using multiple forms on a single shape layer, you can do the same by providing that the forms are curves of Bézier or Rotobezier.

    If the paths of the form or masks are on separate layers, you are out of luck. There is no way to change the multiple paths on different layers at the same time. I don't expect that there is a way to do it. Here's a short demo:

  • How to extrude a path created with the tool pen

    Hi all

    I created a path with the tool pen (part Brown) and now I want to extrude, but output is the set containing the block (see image below)

    Now, I have tried everything, from the grouping of transparent traces, etc., but nothing works.

    How to extrude my way?

    Thank you

    Illustrator_Extrude.PNG

    It is because you applied an effect hatched the path before extrusion it. You are effectively 'extrusion' the raster image, which is a rectangle.

    Don't, don't. Apply the frame effect to a rectangle and store that as a symbol. Give the desired path to extrude a simple filling and extrude. Then use the veneering of 3D effect feature to map the symbol to the desired surface.

  • After downloading CS6, I try to open the .exe file and I get only a text file.

    I'm on a MacBook Pro and I have followed all the instructions, downloaded the Akamai Download Manager, and then the giant 4.79 GB download began.  When it was over, nothing happened, so I clicked on the DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16.exe and a file in TextEdit keeps opening.  Without Akamai, no installation, nothing.  Then I clicked on the other file downloaded (giant) and I was prompted to choose an application to open.  I sailed the Akamai NetSession and after a long pause, I git a dialog box telling me that Akamai is unable to open this type of file.  I erased my downloads and re-uploaded a couple of times and continues to be the same thing.

    Hi aslalsdkg,

    Please make sure that you have downloaded the correct file as it seems that you have downloaded the file for Windows.

    The .exe file is intended to be run on Windows. MAC Installer has the .dmg extension

    Try to download the software from the direct links on the page: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

    But make sure you follow the instructions mentioned on the page before you start the download.

    With the new version of firefox - not able to see tile 8 discovers each tab opening now - only 4 show now - have to use mouse scrolling and the control key to minimize the size of mosaic to see several cages - used to 8 plates and 8 slabs shown whenever a new tab was opened. Basically, I wan to be able to set the screen for 8 tiles not only 4 each time I open a new tab.

    Hi, as you know, you can change the number of tiles on the Page of the new tab to zoom in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

    If you want to keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

    It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles by scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '.

    As an alternative, you might like to try the add-on new tab tools.
