Illustrator CS6 - How do I align objects into a grid?

I am a fan of pixel art and the Live Paint Bucket tool in Illustrator CS6 (I don't really like using Photoshop for this because it is more limited in this field). I have made a thing in pixel art, but I noticed that things weren't exactly lined up. See the picture:
It has messed up the paint bucket tool a lot. Can I align these so that they make a grid? I have tried the Align tools, but I end up with stuff like this:
Horizontal Distribute Center
Can I do this (without changing the document grid)? I have tried this script, but I get this:
Note: My grid is not in proper layer order.

easyaspi,
How about using Align to Pixel Grid?
You may select everything and tick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform palette, and also tick Align new Objects to pixels Grid in the Options flyout.
You may also use a document type with that as default (RGB for web and the like).

  • How To Insert A object into Conext

    Hi Techies,
    I have 8 tables in my designer
    and I have two contexts at designer level
    And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
    For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..
    Thanks in Advance..

          Double-click the Objects and click the TABLES button and select the table you want to associate the object to for the context to work properly (see below).

    Problem:
    How to cast an Object into a specific type (Integer/String) at runtime, where type is not known at compile time.
    Example:
    public class TestCode {

    Description:
    In example, func1() will be called first which will return an object. Returned object refer to an Integer object or an String object. Now at run time, I want to cast this object to the class its referring to (Integer or String).
    For e.g., if returned object is referring to Integer then cast that object into Integer and call func2() by passing Integer object.

    There is only one way to have an object of an unknown type at compile time. That is to create the object's class at runtime using a classloader. Typically a URLClassloader.
    Look into
    Class.ForName(String)

  • If I had a font I used in CS6, how do I import it into CC?

    If I had a font I used in CS6, how do I import it into CC?

    No worries.
    If you are using a font manager, it will either have an activate or install option in it. The help file for the particular font manager likely has the process written down.
    If you are not using a font manager, then depending upon your OS, you simply install them. I am using Windows and so installing a font is as easy as right-clicking on the font file and choosing install. I have no idea how to installa  font on a Mac if that's what you are using. Either OS font installation can easily be Googled, though, if you are not sure.

  • Using Illustrator CS6, how to preserve drawn colors when Save For Web to PNG?

    Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:
    step 1. I open a new file for Web profile.
    step 2. I verify that File > Document Color Mode is RGB.
    step 3. I draw a square and set it's color to 0,103,197 (decimal).
    step 4. I click File > Save For Web
    step 5. In the popup that opens, I set to PNG-24, and verify the option Convert To sRGB is not selected.
    step 6. Using the Mac's DigitalColorMeter, I observe the color is 0,109,191 in the Save For Web popup. If I save it, then open the saved PNG file, it's color is also 0,109,191.
    How to do this so the colors don't change?
    step 7. I close Save For Web popup.
    step 8. I verify Edit > Color Settings for Working Spaces is set to Monitor RGB, and that the Color Management Policies for RGB is off.
    step 9. I verify Edit > Assign Profile is set to Don't Color Manage This Document.
    step 10. I verify View > Proof Colors is off.
    Can anyone provide a set of Illustrator CS6 settings that let me save a PNG image with the same colors it's drawn in so I can use that PNG image in a website?
    I must be missing something obvious, because anyone working in web design must do this day in and day out, please let me know what procedure people follow to achieve this.
    UPDATE:
    Using the above procedure DOES preserve the colors when embedding the PNG image in a webpage viewed in Firefox and Chome, but NOT for Safari. Also, the colors are not preserved in Mac's Preview software, as well as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
    I'm pretty new to all this. Hoping someone can provide some perspective on what typical procedure people use for web development when working with colors in Illustrator CS6.

  • How to insert an object into an object array

    I have an array of objects and im trying to insert an object into the array at position zero. Does anyone know what method I can use for this?

    Hey,
    Are u using a normal array or an array list ?
    For instance if you are using a normal array and you wnat to store an object of classX it should be something like this:
      myArray[0] = new classX(vlaue1, Value2, Value3);this will only work if you have a default constructer for the objects.
    I am posting under correction here but this is the basic idea.
    Hope it helps :-)

    Fortunately, Gosling was able to predict that his

    catch block, so we can magically make them goaway:
    > catch (Exception exc) {}You are
    probably not without knowing that empty catch blocks

    You should better do the following

  • How to combine FileReferenceList objects into one?

    Hi there,
    I'm successfully uploading multiple files to a server using
    the FileReferenceList object. But if you go to browse() for more
    files to add to the ones you've already selected (perhaps they are
    in another folder), then the original FileReferenceList object is
    emptied and replaced with the new files that are chosen.
    What I want is the ability to create a "master"
    FileReferenceList that can hold the results of multiple browse()
    calls. I've used "concat" to combine arrays before but I can't get
    it to work here. Here's the idea that I'm going for:
    private var myMasterFileList:FileReferenceList;
    private var myFileList:FileReferenceList;
    var myMasterFileList = myMasterFileList.concat(myFileList)
    Then when the user is ready, they can send the
    myMasterFileList:FileReferenceList off to be uploaded in one batch.
    In other words how do I create a running master file list from each
    subsequent file list call.
    Thanks for your advice!

    Well, it appears as I'm reading up on this a bit, that it may
    be that the FileReference or FileReferenceList objects are
    "read-only" therefore cannot be manipulated like a typical array.
    This doesn't make sense to me why this would be the case because in
    a multi-file upload situation, there could very well be a user who
    choose some files from one folder, but needs to upload additional
    files from another folder. The process of initiating another
    browse() method clears out the first list. If you could manipulate
    the file list like a normal array then you could just continue to
    add items to the first file list or a new "master" file list...
    THEN send all those items to upload at once.
    I want this functionality and so I think I'll need to
    creatively create many different instances of a FileReferenceList
    object so a user can gather up a variety of files from different
    locations and send them all at once.
    If anyone has any enlightenment on this I would love to
    discuss it because I'm still new to Flex and may be missing
    something obvious.
    Thanks!

  • Illustrator CS6: How to convert a mesh from (white- grayscale) to (white- alpha) ?

    I just finished a bunch of graphics, using almost entirely gradient meshes at varying levels of transparency. I used "screen" for the transparency mode, and every mesh point is a grayscale color ranging from white (bright spots) to black. This combination achieved a "glowing effect;" the black and gray colors appear as transparency when my designs are shown against a colored shape.
    However, when I removed the background colored shape, the black and gray gradient points, which originally appeared as varying levels of white transparency, now appear as grayscale pixels. I'm definitely a beginner to Illustrator, but it surprised me that the gradient/screen's black and gray colors appeared differently without a background.
    Attached is a simple example: A gradient mesh shows up with transparency against a red background. But when the red background is removed, a black color appears. I would like to convert the varying levels of black/gray to varying levels of alpha, as they appear when shown against a red background
    Is there some way to convert the red to alpha, or the grayscale pixels to varying levels of white / transparency, without needing to click every gradient mesh point?
    Original effect on one background color. (this is the desired transparency effect, only I would like it to be the same without a static background color)
    But when I slide the background color away, grayscale pixels replace the transparency. (I wanted to keep the transparency where grayscale pixels were in the gradient mesh screen)
    Without a background color, any export to PNG will have black pixels, instead of transparent pixels. (I wanted transparent pixels here.)
    I'm software designer, so the reason I want to remove the background while preserving the gradient transparency is so I will be able to dynamically insert different background colors at run time, and/or insert other images between the background color and the gradient. Yes, it's true I could generate every combination of colors, but in my case that would mean exporting 36 images from Adobe Illustrator, as opposed to exporting just 6 images. Packaging 36 images would also increase the space required by my compiled application.
    Is there some way to keep the desired transparency effect, while exporting for use against any background color?

    This is the best solution. It worked, and all my "glowing effects" are now working correctly with transparency.
    However, this requires copying the background shape over and over again, as well as clicking on every mesh in the layers window. My project has something like 100 mesh objects. I really wish there was some faster way to do this, especially since the "screen" transparency option implies it is a software setting. (It is much faster than clicking every gradient point, though.)
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to import BW Objects into Prodcution faster?

    Hi Gurus,
    i am facing a problem with the objects import into the production.
    The inport is very slow. Importing 4 infoobjects ca take more than 30 minutes. The import in Q was faster.
    Is there any settings i can do to influence the import speed? Or Transaction? The Basis Team can not help.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Gilo

    Hi Gilo,
    You could ask the Basis Team to monitor the Production system during a transport so that they can analyze the issue and detect the possible causes.  They should be involved as much as possible because the solution is up to them.
    I hope you can solve your concern.

  • How do I pass objects into EL so they can be printed with c:out ?

    Hi, I have an already made jsp and it contains data that is printed with <c:out>
    <c:out value="${model.biz.address.city}" />Now I would like to make changes to the page, but still use these object names. I'm pretty new to java, so I just assumed to make classes: a big class for model with basic fields; a secondary class for biz, containing name, description, etc in public fields; and an address class, which holds the city, state, etc variables.
    I have tomcat/jstl. On the server, there is all this database code and etc that will provide the information, but as for me, I would like to make a simple page, that will have just one model with all the information filled in, so that, I can use the ${model.biz.address.city} or ${model.biz.name} or whatever information objects I've provided.
    I can access my classes with <% out.println(model.biz.name) %>, but I can't access it with EL. How can I do it?
    I mind you there is nested information: model has model.biz & model.user; biz has biz.name, biz.phone, biz.email, and biz.address; biz.address has address.address1, address.address2, and address.city, etc.
    ANY help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Geez .. Your class doesn't fulfill the javabean specifications. The properties should not be public.
    It should rather look likepublic class TheAddress {
        // Properties ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        private String address1;
        private String address2;
        // Constructors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        public TheAddress() {
            // Default constructor.
        public TheAddress(String address1, String address2) {
            // Full constructor.
            this.address1 = address1;
            this.address2 = address2;
        // Getters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        public String getAddress1() {
            return address1;
        public String getAddress2() {
            return address2;
        // Setters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        public void setAddress1(String address1) {
            this.address1 = address1;
        public void setAddress2(String address2) {
            this.address2 = address2;
