Exporting from Adobe Illistrator to AutoCAD

Hello All.
I am trying to export graphics from adobe illustrator into AutoCAD LT 2014 as a DXF.
I need to send the DXF to our CNC operator. The problem is...the exported file has the line type as a spline. The CNC cannot read a spline. It only reads Polly lines.
Any ideas on how to send this as a P.line or lines and Arc's?
Or perhaps how I can convert them once exported?

Hi Annie,
Try saving your file to its simplest level that you can before exporting as a DXF. Save it with a new name (to preserve the original file), then flatten layers, outline text, get rid of hidden things. Then try exporting as a DXF. If they can open a DWG, then they should be able to open a DXF.
I used to use a program called CadMover by Kandu Software to move files between Illustrator and AutoCad. But with the newer versions of Illustrator and using the exporting options listed above I haven't needed it.
Good luck to you,
Danielle

Exporting from Adobe Illustrator to AutoCad 2009

Hello,
I have been working for some time on wood moulding profiles made in Adobe Illustrator, exporting as a 2004 DWG, and inserting as a block in an AutoCad file. I have architects that may use these wood moulding profiles and I have had problems along the way in moving from one program to the other. I have over 500 of these so redrawing them in AutoCad is not a wanted answer really.
When I try to Insert the Illustrator DWG files I get an error message saying "The NLS files requred to convert text entites and symbol names cannot be found in your system". There is no text in these files, just line drawings. So thats ok.
But when I place the DWG file in AutoCad there is nothing there, or just points. Has anyone had any luck bringing an AI DWG file into AutoCad?
Thank you so much for any help.

Exporting from Adobe Draw to Photoshop?

When I save a Adobe Draw file to Creative Cloud it saves in the png or jpeg format and much too low rez for me to actually use. Supposedly I can send Adobe Draw files straight to Photoshop CC without going through Creative Cloud first? I own Photoshop CS4, but before I upgrade to Photoshop CC I want to know what will happen when I try to open my Adobe Draw files in Photoshop CC. I need resolutions of at least 800 dpi to make the Adobe Draw files useful to me. Can you export from Draw to Photoshop CC in whatever resolution you want, or will it export in a particular resolution?

Thanks. That's not high enough rez for me, but it's good to know.
I assume if I open it in Illustrator first I could get a final product that's higher rez? (I've never used Illustrator before, so this would be open territory for me.)
For the record, I like the way Adobe Ideas lets me export better.

Exporting from adobe photoshop elements 11 to Revel

Is there a way to connect the photo to a album at time of export from photoshop elements?

Hello Allan
Yes there is a way to export your images to an album. When you select the image in the Elements 11 organizer select from the file menu "Export to Revel"
Then in the Adobe Revel window after you sign in, you will see an Export To drop down menu, which you can select the album that you wish to upload to. In the screen shot below I have my main libraries and the libraries that are shared to myself. So you have the option to upload to shared libraries too. ( The shared libraries are below the separator line)
Let me know if you have any other questions regarding exporting your images to Revel
Thanks

Export from Adobe Illustrator to Wissen Castop Plus 99

Hello
We have a DGI Omega OM-130 Plotter. I can only find drivers to run this from Windows XP, using Wissen Castop Plus 99.
While this works for sending flies to plot, the software isn't up to much in making the artwork, so the machine is hard to use.
Ideally we need a way to export files from Adobe Illustrator (MAC) to Wissen Castop Plus 99 which uses WMP or WPF file types.
We have tried the CoCutPro2 plugin for Illustrator, but this only exports HPGL files and I've no idea what they are.
I'd also be open to non-obvious ideas for getting the plotter working with anything other than Win XP, even command line if it will plot any standard file type.
I'd also consider scripting in Illustrator.
thanks.

Whose file formats are WMP & WPF? Have never heard of these unless they are for Windows Media Player & Word Perfect Forms, which are not graphic formats.
What other file formats can Castop Plus 99 accept? Below is form their website.
Designed for compatibility, Wissen Castop Plus 99 includes import filters for 23 different file formats and as an OLE client, your jobs can contain links to work in other OLE server applications.
You should be able to import 23 different file formats. PDF would be great cause you can make a PDF from nay software and bring that into Castop. Does it come with Traceline, that is their software to convert bitmap to vector, so I would assume these WMP & WPF are vector formats.

Exporting from Adobe Flash

I want to export an animation from Adobe Flash, but every time that I did, the final video in mp4 was black.

There were no errors while it was exporting. I'm pretty sure it's all on the timeline. The animation is Actionscript 3.0, and I'm not sure what I should make the publish settings. (There's also sound in the animation) When I tried converting it to a video in Media Encoder, the format is H.264 to Youtube 1080, but it just turns out black. When I click the settings, it says that there is no video.

Why does stereo QT export from Adobe turn to mono

As Adobe well knows, there is an issue with QT files exported from Premiere and AE. Certain software-including but not limited to FCP 7- sees it as 2 mono channels and pans to the center. Oops- no stereo. Does anyone have a solution? Other than reoutputting from FCP to create a real stereo file. Adobe-I AM CALLING YOU OUT!!!

If you are exporting a QuickTime Movie (not QuickTime Conversion) FCP simply copies the media (original clips or renders) in the case of a self contained export, or pointers to them in the case of a non-self contained (or reference) export.
If you haven't rendered, a render is performed and this is copied into the QT file. So you end up doing the render, but in the end, your timeline is unrendered, so you go thru the effort, but you only have the QT to show for it. In the case of an export of an unrendered timeline into a reference movie, the renders get placed in the QT movie file since they exist no where else...
Does this answer your questions?
Oh, one more thing - if you are exporting to a format that supports alpha channels (most likely Animation - in which case you are probably using QuickTime Conversion), the alpha channel is only filled properly if you export an unrendered timeline because the alpha is not stored after you render your timeline.

Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it, the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I have been unable to try that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Scaling Error when exporting from Illustrator CS to AutoCad 2002

When I export an Illustrator CS file to AutoCad 2002, I end up with a part that need to be scaled down by .03937 to be 1:1 in AutoCad. I changed my preferences to inches on all units and still have this problem. What setting do I need to change to have this convert straight to AutoCad without secondary operations.

Hey, guys,
Thanks so much for the responses. I discovered that one of the issues was that my browser window was set to 125%, causing things to appear a bit blurry. However, I'm still having issues with the "save for web" window. It seems like the left side (the original) should look exactly like what's on my artboard, but as you can see from this screenshot, it's blurry when I zoom up (Both the artboard and save for web window are at 300%). I have the text on the right set to gif, but it still looks the same as the "original" on the left. Shouldn't my orignal in the save for web window look exactly like the text on the artboard? Would this be affecting the files I'm exporting? Thanks so much for the help!

Random characters added in Excel export from Adobe Tracker (via fillable PDF from FormsCentral)

Exported fillable PDF from FormsCentral and distributed it via Adobe Pro X. Received two responses and from the Tracker, we exported to Excel. In the Excel columns, there are seemingly random characters and the word "edit" which are not in our question. For example, "_10_8_House_rep_edit;_6S7OYQDcL9nQcNR6j761WQ
Thanks!

1. To edit the PDF follow these steps : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
2. The fillers don't need to have a subscription (paid or free) to fill up the form. They can fill out the PDF and save it to their machine and then submit. Only the author of the form needs to have a paid FormsCentral subscription to collect data via PDF forms.

Exporting from Adobe Premiere using extendscript

Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how the exportTimeline() function works. So far, I have managed to import files and add them to a sequence. Now I want to export the sequence as a Quicktime movie. Eventually, I want to be able to set start and end points for an export (i.e. export a work area, export a clip from the timeline, etc.).
I did try to use the function by passing in a path to a file name:
exportTimeline("somepath.mov")
I didn't get an error message, which is good. I got a 'result:7' (not sure what that means). I did not see any new files exported to the path though.
Thanks!

Ok I'm figuring this out.
Seems like the trick is to use Adobe Media Encoder to render out the final clips as quicktimes (or whatever format you want).
I have exported the project as a XML file. Then I scraped the XML with Python and lxml to get the start and end points I want and wrote that data out as another XML file, which hopefully I can read back into Premiere with ExtendScript. I will set the in and out points and render with Media Encoder.
Hopefully this will work!

How to export from Adobe audition properly?

Hi,
I just started using this program to record vocals and right now i have about 5 tracks I want to export but everytime I export it, there would be problems. It would be either no sound at all, or just the music itself, or it doesnt export some of my vocals. What is the proper way to actually export 5 tracks together? I am in the multitrack view right now.
Thanks

Well, the first thing to do is check that the output of each of the tracks you want to use (that's the item with the left-pointing arrow in the boxes at the left side of the tracks) are all set to "Master". Next make sure that, in mixer view, the fader for each track you're using is up an appropriate level and that the master fader is up as well. "Appropriate level" is the key here since you need to balance the various tracks and get the output to healthy level but not into clipping.
At this point, rather than Export, I use Edit/Mixdown to New Track. Once I have the mix, I do any mastering techniques, level tweaks, etc. etc. that I want, then same the track.
Obviously, this it the briefest summary. To make it sound good you'll have spent a lot of time tweaking the relative levels of your tracks, playing with EQ and effects and all the rest.

Exporting from Adobe Premiere CS5 into FCPX

Hi,
I have been given a project in Windows Adobe Premiere CS5. What is the best way to import this into FCPX?
Thanks

Export PPro's XML, run that through the utility app "7toX", open the resulting FCPXML file into FCP X. It won't be 100%, but rarely is XML between companies software 100%.

Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email. I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $40
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
