Exporting to PNG, Stroke Weight not Scaling with Export Scale

Hi there
I am having some issues exporting illustrator documents to multiple sizes of PNG.
I am actually scripting this, but the issue seems to be more general - hence the posting here.
If you export a PNG through the web and devices tool:
File->Save for Web & Devices
And you scale the image by 50%, the line weight does not seem to be scaled with the export scale.
In Illustrator->Preferences->General I have Scale Strokes and Effects ticked.
This problem is also apparent when scaling a scripted PNG export through the ExportOptionsPNG24 class.
Is there anything I am missing please - or does anyone know of workarounds?
Thank you

Thanks for looking into it Kurt.
I can't post the illustrator file in question to the forum.
And, you are right, when I aim to make a demo file from scratch I can't reproduce the problem either.
I am having this difficulty on multiple files though, and they are all quite complex.
I will aim to try and make a file that shows the problem.
The files in question may have symbols that were created in much earlier versions of Illustrator.
I'm not sure if that could do it.
The sequence above shows the output as I export via script to successively smaller scales.
This is by setting the horizontalScale and verticalScale in ExportOptionsPNG24.
I see the same results if scaling in Save for Web & Devices.

Why are my stroke weights not scaling?

I'm new to InDesign. Just installed it and playing for the first time.
I'm having issues with scaling the stroke weight of vector objects. I create an object or path, but when I go to scale it, the weight doesn't scale too. I've made sure that the 'adjust stroke weight when scaling' is ticked.
What am I doing wrong?
Really appreciate any help I can get on this.
Thanks

There have been several discussions reporting the same problem.

There is no known fix. Send feedback to Apple to request a better photo sync, that will respect the sorting of faces albums.

Is It Possible To Prevent a Stroke's Weight From Scaling with the Rest of an Object?

I want to animate a person moving off into the distance, but while I want the size of the figure to get smaller, I don't want the weight of the lines that comprise the image to scale down, too. I made this little sample of a person skating (poorly) away from the viewer, and I'd like the line weight to be 9 points in the first frame and the last frame. Is there a setting that allows me to exclude stroke weight when scaling and resizing an object?

If you're asking if you can scale the length of the stroke but not the width, I don't think you'll have much luck there... I'm pretty sure one follows the other.

Adjust stroke weight when scaling problem

Hello,
I am having trouble with the stroke on an object changing when I scale that object. I have already read to uncheck "Adjust Stroke Weight when Scaling" but my problem is that option is grayed out in my "Transform" panel. When I go into edit>menus, there is an "eye" graphic next to it so it should be showing. I am trying to figure out how to make that show up so that I can then uncheck it, resize a photo and keep the same stroke weight at all times.
Thanks
Pat

Peter,
Thank you for your response, that was what I needed to fix the problem!

InDesign Cs4 Bleed/Slug not scaling with reduced print?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel certain that when I've printed my layouts in the past, Indesign scaled the bleed and slug along with the rest of the page when I printed at a reduced size.
Today, I can't get the bleed or the slug to output in relative scale to the document. i.e. a 20" x 32" poster with 1/8" bleeds and a 2 inch slug on top is being printed at 50%. In the Print preview box, it shows that while the page is being reduced properly to 10" x 16", the bleed is still 1/8" and the slug is still 2 inches, not 1/16" and 1" as I would have expected.
o

Sorry, miskeyed and hit the return key before I finished my thoughts:
Am I wrong in thinking that InDesign usually scales bleed and slug with the page? Am I mis-remembering?
If not, what is causing the odd non-scaling of bleed and slug?

Importing svg's stroke-width not scaled up

I am trying to import an svg in the illustrator, and it has stroke-width of 30px but its wasn't scaled up, its showing 1px of the stroke-width always, In preferences i have checked the option ' scale and transform the stroke-width ' and i have changed all the units into pixels. Still i am not getting that.
Thanks.

Thanks, Larry. On Mac and Win, double-clicking on the scale tool should also get you that dialog and the checkbox.

Problems with Illustrator CS6 not accepting stroke weights with decimal points

So I have been using Illustrator for almost 10 years and have never run into this one. When enter a stroke weight on a line with a decimal point like .25 or 4.5 is keeps rounding the number up. For example I enter 0.75 and it makes it 1 point or I enter 5.5 and it makes it 6 point. Whether I enter the number manually or pick from the drop down (0.25, 0.5 or 0.75) it keeps rounding my strokes to even numbers. How did I do and how do I fix it?

Thanks from me too! Was also very frustrated by this.

Set Stroke weight for a frame not working in CS4.

Hi All,
How to set Stroke weight for a frame.
I tried using CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils, but its not working in CS4.
Regards,
Jasmine
Message was edited by: Jasmine_Shaikh

Hi All,
CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils works only when if the frame has some stroke weight already applied to it.
So do i need to set something else before using CreateStrokeWeightCommand to make it work programatically on a frame with no stroke weight.

Logic midi exporting problems (does not work with cubase)

ok so there is an audio file i need converter to midi for something i'm working on someone with who uses cubase...
so basically an audio file from cubase needs audio to midi. since cubase does not have this feature i imported the .aif file from the cubase project and used audio to score to extract midi. i then exported the midi file and imported it back into the cubase project and it was not aligning with the audio file.
note that the cubase project has variable tempos but i imported the file into default tempo and extracted the midi in the default tempo mode. but this shouldn't be a factor since midi conforms to current tempo so when it gets reimported back into cubase it should sync with the project tempo there....
can anyone help???

Already tried with different keyboard and I have find out that the keyboard that I use at home only sends midi via channel 4...
You have a couple of choices:
Within the EVB, change the Keyboard Mode to single. You may need to do this a couple of times to get it to work. You would also need to do this for every EVB preset that you use
You could setup the organ Instrument Channel Strips as "Multi-Timbral" with the incoming MIDI mapped to Channel 1. You would need to do this for every Organ Strip that you want to use in your MS Concert.

The strokes in Illustrator are not scaling properly

The strokes in Illustrator are not scaling properly when I type in a specific dimension even though I have the option selected to scale stroke & effects. It only works when I scale by percentage or do it by clicking and dragging manually. I now have version 18.0.0 and I used version 17 before without having this issue. What am I doing wrong?

The large image is the original, the one in the middle I scaled down by holding shift and dragging, the last one on the right hand side is scaled down by typing in a number in Transform in the W: box.
I want it to look like the middle, but I want to be able to type in a dimension without having to expand my strokes. It worked just fine in the previous version.

Crystal report 8.5 export to csv and rtf format not working with office 2013

Hi Experts,
Crystal report version 8.5 hangs and eventually crash when i export my report to csv or rtf format on windows 7 with office 2013 installed, code is written in VB 6 although the same scenario is working with office 2010 installed.
i debugged the code and found the application hangs at function Report.Export(False).
below is the code snippet
       .PDFExportAllPages = True 'ePDFExportAllPages
       .PDFFirstPageNumber = ePDFFirstPageNumber
       .PDFLastPageNumber = ePDFLastPageNumber
       .RTFExportAllPages = True 'eRTFExportAllPages
       .RTFFirstPageNumber = eRTFFirstPageNumber
       .RTFLastPageNumber = eRTFLastPageNumber
       .UseReportDateFormat = eUseReportDateFormat
       .UseReportNumberFormat = eUseReportNumberFormat
       .UseReportNumberFormat = eUseReportNumberFormat
       .XMLAllowMultipleFiles = eXMLAllowMultipleFiles
       .XMLFileName = eXMLFileName
     Report.Export (False) ----Application hangs here and eventually crash
Looking forward for your help, as it is very urgent

Hi Mohit
CR 8.5, being about 15 years old, does not support Windows 7. I am surprised this works for you with MS Office 2010 and to be honest, I'd consider my self lucky there. The fact that is does not work with office 2013... well, like I said, lucky with Office 2010 and your luck ran out with Office 2013.
Your option; rewrite the app in VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 and use the CR Assemblies for VS .NET from SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET. The CR Java SDK would be another option.

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
Using SC5 on a PC.

Another question on the same topic.
Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?

Export workbooks not sharded with the oracle Discoverer Administrator

Can anyone tell me how to export workbooks which are not shared with the discoverer administrator.
When I use the command line dis4adm.exe /connect userid/password@db /export destination / workbook "workbookname' it toes only funtion for workbooks shared with the discoverer administrator.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Marc
The only mechanism to export Discoverer workbooks using the 4.1 Administrator tool is to use the command line.
However, there are severe restrictions on functionality. These are:
- Only the owner of a workbook can export a workbook. Discoverer administrators do not have the power to export end user workbooks, therefore user accounts need to be temporarily granted administration privileges during the process
- There is no mechanism to export “ALL” workbooks for a user account. They have to be named explicitly on the command line
- Workbooks must be exported on a user by user basis because there is no mechanism to export workbooks for multiple users at the same time
Drop me an email because I have a white paper that explains in detail how to export workbooks in 4.1 using the Administrator tool.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
