Width tool - only adjust STROKE segment (or width)?

Hi all!

In Illustrator CS5, I have some difficulty in getting the width tool to cooperate with me.

Say I draw a line with a profile of uniform width and set the width on 2pt. Now say that about an inch of the right end of the race, I want to start tapering of the race off to a fine point. To do this, I use the width tool an inch to the right, then set it to the width of the line at that time here 2pt (I'll call that my 'starting point'), so that it is even with the rest of the race. Then I use the width on the right end of the race and set to 0pt, so that the end of the race turns into a point.

The problem is, when I do that it adjusts the width of the entire line. The rest to 2pt broad starting point and narrows down to a fine point at the end of the race to the right. However, to the left of my starting point, the width of the line increases, up on 2.7pt (sometimes more). I don't want my time to be more 2pt - instead, I want to make 2pt everywhere, until it reaches the starting point where it starts to wide cone.

So is it possible that I can either:

(A) set illustrator so that it adjusts only the section of the race between the starting point and the end of the race? (preferred)

or

(B) set it so that the race will never more 2pt at some point?

Thank you!

Sure. Just add a third width control. The behavior is also quite normal - width interpolation based on a formula of spline and you get the same overtaking as with any other splines in artificial intelligence.

  • "width tool" and brush strokes?

    Hello people,

    I drew a line polymerized with the Brush tool in illustrator CS5, but when I select the "width" tool to change the width, it does not work.

    What Miss me?

    Here are my steps:

    1 Select Brush tool

    2. draw something

    3. Select the tool 'width '.

    4. try to change the width, but it won't work.

    Given that I draw with the Brush tool, the "width" tool can be very handy if I can make it work.

    Thank you!

    I guess you used a calligraphy brush. The width tool only works with nromal lines, artistic forms and brushes model.

    Hi yaritzab46986362,

    If you purchased a plan from Pro to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, you need to use to protect the files.

    I guess what you have opened is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC which is a free application to view and print PDF files.

    If If Acrobat Pro DC is not installed on your machine, you can download it here: Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

  • Problem with the tool pen creating a fill when I want only the stroke

    Hello

    I'm having a problem. I create a simple spider for a project. Initially, I used the pen tool to make the legs. He worked for a bit, then started suddenly in an area that I has yet to draw with the fill color. I don't know what I did to cause this happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    This form shows a yellow fill, probably from the last shape you drew.  If you select the form and clear the fill, your drawing will return to black lines only.

  • My copy of Windows 7 is suddenly not regarded as authentic by a tool only.

    Since yesterday, all of a sudden my Windows 7 think that it is not authentic. Nothing has changed on my system. This is only one of the tools in the window that still returns this result (I use windows update very well and the diagnosis can tell that it is authentic. Dell offers a new installation of Windows and send me the cd for free (I vigorously opposes paying for something, I would have had if I put my computer together as I normally did), but it seems like overkill for what should be an error in the windows that should have a resolution less painful. I don't really like as a real paying customer who is totally against any form of piracy to drag everything I do over and over again in the meantime.

    (I know the feeling!)

    That seems to have made at least a part of the work - but there seems to be a problem of remaining registry.

    Perhaps the best approach is to use the CheckSUR tool. (at least, if it works, it will be much faster than a hunt-n-peck me approach!)

    Download the appropriate version of the tool from here... http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947821

    run the tool (it will say 'Installation' - could take an hour or two and then just finish, without message of 'success') and download, on your public SkyDrive CheckSUR.log file and post a link to it in your response - as well as a new report of MGADiag.

  • Projects to compare a tools only Upgrade

    Team,

    I would like to know on what are the projects that are supposed to be compared a Peopletools Upgrade only.

    Thanks in advance.

    Take a look in your database for the project named PPLTLSxxCUR and PPLTLSxxCURDEL (where xx = 84 for 8.4 x tools).  Also look for projects named PATCHxxx (e.g. PATCH854) for the latest patches of tools.

    Please note that many of the contained objects have no relevant compare reports and some of these objects may also be imported using Data Mover scripts, rather than project imports.

  • Drawing with the pen tool or the line Segment tool

    Hello

    I have need of tips and tricks to draw the design of a singlet. What is the way most appropriate for the task? What should I draw the line one by one, or create a model brush to draw? Please refer to the image as an attachment for a better understanding. Thanks in advance.

    draw.jpg

    There is a lot to address the issue. Myself, I will draw all the basic shapes with the pen and shape tools (there really only 5 different forms in the main design), application of rounded corners effect according to the needs and duplication/reflection needed to reproduce the layout. So I "would make the cuts" on the forms by using additional objects... many positioned with step & repeat and/or mixture... and apply Pathfinder operations.

  • Administration tool only read access

    I was wondering if there is a single read access to the administration tool.

    What I'm trying to do is to test the Build repository with best practices, given that this repository is live and made by a group of developers.
    As I recently joined and wanted to know what resources I need to view and test the repository.
    I was wondering if there is a read access only to the administration tool, not sure this subject and also do I BI oracle installed on my local machine to view the repository.

    If not, is there a way where I can get to see the repository without having the privileges to make any change or save changes to online or offline repositoryin mode

  • We turn off sidebar tools only (no toolbar)?

    Should not be services in the sidebar, but the sidebar and the toolbar seem to marry each other.

    Way easiest to do this would be to simply click on the Tools button on the right side of the toolbar. Need to turn it off.

    By chance you want to hide the view of deployment? If Yes, then you must use Adobe Customization Wizard to disable services.

  • CS4 - resizing the frame and content in "width" transform range...

    We must picture resizing placed, but the framework and the content at the same time with writing accurate dimension in "width" transform range. Problem is that this single image is resized. If we choose the photo with the direct Selection tool, only the content is scaled.

    Write your dimension to the percentage field (the one with the number 100% all the time) and press ENTER. Don't forget not to put inches or mm with your numbers... otherwise indesign thinks you want to use percentages. Close the chain icon if you want to limit the proportions.

  • The eyedropper tool does not work with a hue saturation adjustment layer

    I use PS CC 2014, and the problem I have is that when I have to use the eyedropper tool to adjust the range of colors affected by an adjustment layer Hue/Saturation, rather than selecting the color in the Properties window for the adjustment layer, use the eyedropper closed the window properties and change the foreground color in my palette.

    Here's the real hitch... the same thing happened to me at the school last night where a) the Mac is older and CS6 b) is always used.

    It's something with my user settings, to be sure, because the teacher logged into his account on the Mac I was using in the class test, and it worked for him. We have logged on my account and it still does work for mine.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas.
