ArtBoards and Exporting

Hello,
How can you designate an artboard to export exactly what is contained within it, WITHOUT any "bleeding" (I'm not sure if this is the correct term), or other artifcats.
Here is what I am doing:
1. Create new document using web template.
2. Create a rectangle, set the stroke to none, pick a fill.
3. Effect -> Stylize -> Round Corners, Radius of 3px.
4. Select ArtBoard tool, and click on object.
5. File -> Save for Web or Devices
The image that appears in the preview (and is later exported) does not match the created image at all:
Where are the rounded corners?
Other times, I have noticed there will be added whtie space in the exported image.
I am not a graphic designer, and think I am just missing some very basic understanding or setting required for ArtBoards.
Thank you very much,
K

Gustavo,
Thanks for the response, but I am trying to save for web purposes.
Here's another example of what's happening.
1. Here's the file as seen in Illustrator (CS4):
2. Then, here it is in the export dialog:
How do I keep anti-aliasing but not have that white edge?
Thanks so much, this is so maddening to me, and I know that it's something I am not getting.

  • Dividing and Exporting DXF

    I have a rather specific need.  I believe that scripting might lead me to a solution.
    I need to be able to take an Illustrator file, have the file divided vertically, starting at the lowest point on the page, every 75 mm, then export as a DXF each part saved as a file with an alpha/numerical decending scheme starting from the bottom up.  These are non-filled paths btw.
    Currently, I set my grid to 75 mm increments, create dividing lines every increment via snap to grid, then use the divide pathfinder tool.  I then go in each "box" and delete any new line created by the divide tool so that I am left with 75 mm tall chunks.  Each of these chunks are then exported individually and assigned an letter suffix starting at the bottom working my way up. They are then reassembled in another program that requires all this dividing. The reassembling is easy if the Illustrator exported components are done correct. A lot of moving parts.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    ...the reason you have had no response is the fact that you are using 'pathfinder'…
    Such situations are where you consider using two scripts, between which you invoke an Action, or do something manually in the UI.
    The reason I (for one) have not responded is the problem is not fully described. No mention of version. Too little info about the requirements of the DXF results and the ultimate purpose.
    Any ideas?
    Maybe. Depends on some specifics of what you need in the resulting DXFs.
    First, I'm assuming this is a recurring need, therefore worthy of the time to plan, write, and test a semi-automated solution; not just a one-time need for a one-off project.
    Currently, I set my grid to 75 mm increments, create dividing lines every increment via snap to grid...
    Before getting into scripting, it sounds like you are creating the horizontal dividing lines one at a time. If so, using the Grid Tool, Tranform Effect, or even Transform Again would cut alot of time out of that.
    ...then use the divide pathfinder tool.
    The description of your problem suggests you just want to end up with paths which are merely cut at 75mm increments. Divide does not do that; it creates new paths which enclose visually-enclosed areas. So the result is like a set of puzzle pieces, which abut and share edges. If that's what you want, fine; it actually simplifies the problem because of Illustrator's absolutely ridiculous inability to properly cut paths. But your saying "These are non-filled paths..." suggests otherwise. If your use for the DXF is to drive a cutter, then Divide would result in double paths (double cuts). If that's not what you want, then you should be using the Outline Pathfinder instead. Like all of Illustrator's poorly-implemented Pathfinders, Outline also has its caveats: It will result in all paths being cut at all intersections, not just at intersections with the "cutting paths". Again, that may or may not be a problem, depending upon unknows about your ultimate purpose. For example, if the DXF results will be used for cutting, there may be no assurance of required cutting order (stacking order), if there is one.
    I need to be able to take an Illustrator file, have the file divided vertically, starting at the lowest point on the page, every 75 mm
    You don't say what version of Illustrator you are using. If CS5, then Javascript could create an array of Artboards, and create the straight "cutting paths" between them. Methods selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard() and exportSelectedArtOnly could then be used to export the contents of each Artboard, after the Pathfinder operation is performed.
    , then export as a DXF each part saved as a file with an alpha/numerical decending scheme starting from the bottom up.
    That part would be fairly trivial. Just loop through whatever incrementing naming convention you devise as the files are exported.
    I then go in each "box" and delete any new line created by the divide tool so that I am left with 75 mm tall chunks.
    This woudl be done before the exports. You would have to devise a means by which to identify the unwanted deadwood (remnants of the "cutting paths"). Again, it depends on what you need in the resulting DXF. If the "puzzle pieces" results of Pathfinder Divide are what you want, then there may not be any deadwood. If the "single paths" results of Pathfinder Outline is closer to what you need, then you would have to script a search for single-segment paths on which the Y position of both their anchors correspond to those of the Artboard edges.
    So conceivably, the general schema might go like this:
    Script A:
    Creates the array of abutting Artboards, each 75mm in height
    Draws the "cutting paths"
    Selects All
    Ends
    You then click the Pathfinder button.
    ScriptB:
    Finds and deletes deadwood
    Loops through:
      Selecting the contents of each Artboard
      Assigning the name variables
      Exporting the selection
    Ends

  • How do I rescale artboard and content, but keep the same path width

    Hi,
    I have a project with a lot of artboards with content set-up inside each artboard - actually a series of icons.
    I'd like to resize all of the artboards and the content, keeping the same line widths.
    I can use the 'save for web' feature to scale the existing artboards/content, but I don't want the line widths to be scaled too.
    I have failed to find a script or feature that would allow me to do this and save me from manually resizing every artboard and the content.
    I'll immediately hold my hands up to having a minimalist knowledge of illustrator.
    Any thoughts? I'm surprised it's not a feature of 'save for web'.
    Currently using CS6.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    No, rescaling the paths inside illustrator keeps the path width the same. It's the 'export for web' dialog upscaling the content is also upscaling the path widths. I can understand why it does that, but surprised it it ignores the scaling strokes option and doesn't provide that option itself.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though.

  • Capture and Export of Mono Audio in FCP HD

    I have just upgraded to FCP HD from FCP 3. My problem is all of my audio needs to be Mono only. In v3 this was simple I just chose Mono from the capture settings and Mono for Export.
    On FCP HD I can't find any way to capture and export as Mono. When I record Voice Over in FCP all I get is the right channel and even when I set it to pan centre it still only comes out the right speaker after export.
    If I've got to manually duplicate tracks everytime it will take me forever.
    Anybody know a simple way to capture and export Mono only (the same for both Ch 1 + 2)
    G4 DP 1.25   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This might seem the long way 'round but it may save a ton of time in the end.
    Do your FCP mix in stereo as Colin suggests, then take the final audio track into STP or Peak and do a "mix to mono" and then save a new AIFF file with the resulting mono clip.
    Then bring that back into FCP on a new audio track, line it up with the stereo, then either disable or delete the stereo tracks. This will give you a true mono audio track.
    But where are you going with this content that will handle mono audio? DVDs require a stereo AC3 files. Are you sure you really need a mono sound track?

  • Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
    My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
    1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
    2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
    Prajesh

    Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell?  Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:

  • Problem with Import and Export Data Wizard

    Downloaded and installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 today because I want to explore how Access interacts with SQL Server (using my home computer). I'm using Access 2010 (under Windows 7), so the 2008 version of SQL Server Express seemed to be the version
    to use.
    After a couple of false starts, installation appeared to go okay. After the installation. My Start menu listed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. The latter listed Import and Export Data (64-bit). When I clicked that, the first Import
    and Export Data Wizard page was displayed. I wasn't ready at that time to explore the wizard, so I closed it. An hour or so later I again attempted to open the Import and Export Data wizard. This time, the wizard didn't open. Instead this error message was
    displayed: "The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered."
    I found DTS.dll on my computer at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn, so the file is available, but don't know whether it is registered.
    How can I correct this problem?

    First can you please post all log file errors
    >> I can't really give you a solution or specific recommendation since I did not saw this error yet myself, but on your own risk you can try:
    1. You may try to just register 'dts.dll' using regsvr32.exe, but this error may indicate a bigger problem with setup.
    If you are running SQL Server 64bit then try running this at the command prompt: %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll"
    2. You can try reinstall from start (In this case you have to make sure that you un-install all)

  • What is the best way to import and export footage from the 5D Mark II?

    Hello,
    I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece.  Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing.  Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline.  I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
    My questions:
    1)  What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
    2)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
    3)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects?  I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction.  I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
    I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance.  I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage.  I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!

    1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
    2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
    3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

  • I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?

    I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?  I am using a MACBook Air

    just read this in an other answer:
    Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to  can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
    Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
    If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

  • Does adobe Premiere Pro CC edit and export 4k and higher video resolutions?

    Hey Guys I am new the forum but have been using adobe products for years. I am having some problems finding if Adobe Premiere Pro CC effectively lets you edit and export video at 4k and higher. I am having a custom built computer to specifically handle high resolution output and video editing. I have a 5k monitor to go with it as we;;. Long story short is I need to make sure I can edit and export at full resolution. I am not interested in compressing the video output to 1080P from a 4k video input source. It would be a shame if I have to learn a completely new software program for my business because I have loved previous versions of the adobe premiere pro. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am expected to get my custom build back this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help provided!

  • Excise Invoice number for Domestic and Exports

    Hi Friends,
    MyClient is having two types of excise invoices. One is Local and another is Export.
    The local excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC; and even the export excise invoices take numbers from the local number range object J_1IEXCLOC.
    i.e they have the continuation of numbers for domestic and exports.
    Ex: If the domestic excise number is 091111010 then export excise invoice no is 091111011.
    They have not maintained number ranges for export range object J_1IEXCEXP(w.r.t any seriesgroup).
    And there is no tick for Use Local Number Range in Export Excise Invoice also.
    I want to know how this can be happen.
    Pl help me in this regard.

    Hi Azeez,
    Go to IMG, Tax on goods movements, India, Outgoing excise invoices, Maintain defult Excise Groups and Series Groups.
    Here check the Sales Area, shipping point, plant, Excise group and Series group determination. It is here that you defferentiate for which series group you are using which sales area and plant. Once you identify this, go to T code J1i9, give the valid object and check the number range assigned to the series group.
    Thanks
