Cutting a path in half? help me

I want to cut a path in half. I've searched far and wide around the internet on how to do it but couldn't find any results. so how do I go about doing this? I've inserted an image to make answering this question easier.

make a rectangle and place it behind the line you need to cut
select both the line and the rectangle
grab the Scissors Tool and cut the line right where you see the center of the rectangle
delete the excess line and the rectangle

  • I placed a comment a few minutes ago and just like the Verizon stors, I get "NO" help !! Maybe I should cut my bil in half and see what Sprint has to offer !!

    I am so fed up with Verizon !!! I go into stores, tell them the problem and they take my phone, do some things to my phone ad tell me it is fixed !! I leave the store and a couple hundred feet away my phone goes off !! This has been going on for months. Verizon has to do a better job in training their people. I have been with Verizon all the time but, you are giving me reason to cut my bill in half and try Sprint !! Realbob

    So what exactly is the problem with the phone?

  • How to find and delete multiple overlapping cut contour paths?

    Help!
    Background: My job requires that I print vinyl cut letters and shapes. I do this by creating a cut contour path in illustrator with a spot color as a stroke, so that once printed, there will be instructions on the print showing where to cut and the cutter will recognize the marks.
    My problem is that, for some reason, the cutter is going back over the cut path a 2nd time, as if there is more than one cut contour path in the file. But looking at the eps file in Illustrator, I don't see any extra overlapping paths with another stroke. It just looks like there is one pink line so it's very frustrating to know that there are actually extra cut paths that the cutter is reading that I don't know about. Is there a way for me to either A) find all of the paths and turn off the spot color swatch on all of them and just apply it to the one I need or B) find all paths and delete overlapping ones that I don't need?
    Someone also suggested that I might be getting extra overlapping cut paths in different Layers(?) I'm just really not sure what to do or how to find these and weed them out. Any help would be appreciated. I am relatively new to Illustrator and haven't found it a very intuitive program to learn, but maybe I just need a lot more practice.
    Thank you!

    You need to rebuild the file, as there is no way to fix any overalapping or duplicate paths.
    I make a layer for every color of vinyl, and then drag the selection square to the proper color layer. When done you can use the pathfinder command to unite each layer, to get rid of duplicate shapes.
    You alwasy want to proof before you send to cut, by doing a command Y to view your work in outline mode.

  • Need to cut a word in half and insert text inside, in Illustrator or InDesign

    need to cut a word in half and insert text inside, in Illustrator or InDesign, like this: http://looksgreat.tumblr.com/post/56189410707/tutorial-letra-dividida

    That's fine. Everybody has their own preferences. I find it odd that you feel the need to criticize mine. Personally, I've been a Prepress Tech for 25 years, the last 15 in a digital environment on Mac Workstations. I work with live fonts and outlined text every day. I've had way more headaches with font substitution and reflow than I've ever had with vector art. Most of the time, I leave live text as live text. But if I'm designing a Logo or art that is intended to be placed in multiple documents and probably scaled, I'm going to convert it to paths. Much less chance of the RIP screwing it up that way.
    Your answer to OPs question was spot on. So was mine. There is rarely only one right way to create something in Illustrator. If you don't care for my methods, then don't use them. But let me assure you, I don't need any schooling from you. The fact that you seem compelled to engage me on this may say something about your personality. Micro-manage much?

  • HT1365 Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • How do I cut an image in half and move the halves independently?

    How do I cut an image in half, and move the halves independently?

    Use the rectangular marquee tool to select half the image, then Layer>New Layer via cut. You can turn on the rulers and set a guide so you'll know the boundaries you want if you need it to be exactly half.
    If you want to also be able to move the other half, before you start double click the background layer in the layers panel to turn it to a regular layer.

  • I don't understand how to 'warp paths'. Please help.

    Hey,
    Can someone help with me 'warping paths'. I don't understand how to do step 2 of this tutorial
    [url]http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/moonbase/moonbase-website-layout-1.htm[/url]
    It asks you to pick a foreground color, use the pen tool and make a traingle with the points, completing your last point by clicking on the first and completing the loop.
    Then it wants you to go to Ctrl+Click on the path, add a few new points, and drag them around to warp the path but I cannot warp it like in the tutorial. I just get some random shapes and inversion of foreground color and white.
    How do I do step 2?
    Thanks.

    Those are basic path adjustments. With the pen tool selected, you Ctrl+click on the path to make sure it's selected and then click on the path a couple of times with the Pen tool to add some anchor points which you then modify

    Hi,
    For me, Jongware is right! It's very easy and cool to do it directly in InDesign (with totally editable text). Here's a sample:

  • Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

    The subject line above says it all. Just need to know how to correct the problem. Descktop J4550 Some font lines are cut off at top half of row

    My personal opinion is that it is a problem from some books that have been published via Smashwords. That has been my experience for one or two books I've downloaded. I contacted the author in one case and he replied:
    "Just to let you know I've had some feedback from Smashwords about the odd display issue. It's relates to the line spacing in the original document, apparently. I'll be uploading a fixed version to them in the near future, though it might take a while for the new version to trickle down to the iBookstore."
    So I dunno if your book is published by Smashwords, but if it is it may be worth contacting author?

  • Cut my bill in half

    If Sprint can cut my bill in half, will Verizon do the same thing? I'd like to stay a Verizon customer but they're making it look very attractive to switch.

    That is certainly a big IF. I always keep an eye out for pricing on Verizon's competitors, keeping in mind that if I choose to switch my service would suffer considerably.
    With that in mind, I checked Sprint the other day to see how valid these claims of "cutting my bill in half" actually are. The first clue is the small print IMMEDIATELY underneath that statement of the following "Discount applies to base monthly service plan only. Exclusions apply and new plan features may not be an exact match.".
    Needless to say, Sprint was not able to cut my 4 smartphone, 10 GB shared data $168/month Verizon bill down to $84. They didn't even come close.
    Good luck with the new provider if you choose to switch.

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • Trying to Cut my Letters in half, need help!!

    I have the word "SNYC" and trying to cut it in half and giving me real trouble. Saying that "The filter produced no results. Please select one or more filled paths." I don't really understand what I am doing wrong.

    jayhard,
    If you wish to keep the Type live and editable, you may just hide half of it, using a Clipping mask or an Opacity mask.
    I believe the simplest way of outlining is just to select it and then Type>Create Outlines.

    When I go to start, Logic crashes and reports that it's a DIGIDESIGN CORE AUDIO problem.
    I wonder if you have this file on your machine:
    Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/Digidesign CoreAudio.plugin
    If you move it to the desktop, does Logic still crash?
