How do you eyedrop effects in Illustrator CS5.5?

When extruding one shape out of another, the new shape retains the apperiance of the top shape. But my bottom shape has had a few effects applied to it earlier on. So I need to be able to copy aka. eyedrop all apperences including effects to that top shape. How do I do this?

You can use the eyedropper tool. double click it to set the options. The dialog box has to show 3 entries with all three checkmarked.

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

CharliEiko,
You should make sure it is properly uninstalled.
I believe you may do that by running the Cleaner Tool.

How to create custom borders in Illustrator CS5

Hello,
I'm working in Illustrator CS5.1 and unsure to go about creating DASHED borders. The problem I've having is the corners are not connected and they should be. Is there a way to do this.
Thank you!

If this doesn't solve your problem, post an example:

How Do You Trace Numbers In Illustrator CS3

Hey guys,
I am stuck! I am very much a newbie with Illustrator although from what I have used I love it.
I am currently in the process of designing a sticker which is to be cut from Vinyl and I am wanting to know what I must do to Numerical/ Alpha characters to register their outlines as cuts.
I figure I could go round and trace all my characters and create paths that way, although this seems very time consuming and a primitive method which I highly doubt is necessary in such a program as Illustrator to execute what should be a pretty straight forward job.
I though that turning off the fill on the characters and registering a stroke would register as a cut, although my plotter operator says not!
SO my question is how do you create paths (which will reguster as cuts) from numbers/ letters WITHOUT induvidually tracing each character?
Thanks guys,
Tobi

Type, Create Outlines. Now you have converted live type to vectors.
There's no need to change the fill of the characters. Turn off the preview (Cmd-Y) and you'll see what you've got.
If perchance some of the characters overlap it's not a bad idea to do a Pathfinder Unite on them. That way you get rid of unnecessary paths.

How do you down save a Illustrator CC eps file to a Illustrator CS5?

I have a customer who says they can't open my Illustrator CC .eps file because they are running CS5 and want me to down save it. I don't see that option anywhere.

No options to “save as” cs6 or cs7 – just pdf, eps, etc. see below.

How do you edit sound in multicam (cs5)

Hi all,
I always see people raving about multi cam editing for wedding speeches but on the 10 or so occasions Ive given it a try I just give up instantly due to the fact that I feel so limited in what I can do with the audio.
I would use it for wedding speeches where I have 8 or 9 audio tracks, editing in 5.1 and I need to stop parts of the track distorting occasionally or removing sections of sound, boosting quiet parts etc (as the dynamics effect with limiter ticked and set to -1dB only seems to quieten down the rest of the audio from that point onwards if it severely needs to kick in), however as soon as you enable multi cam and start editing, your audio appears flattened into one track.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I KNOW it must be possible but I just cant work out how.
Thanks

Or...you can just nest the video only and leave all your tracks right there with the video. Although I'm not sure about CS5 as I use CS6. Either way works. For me what works best is to nest the video ONLY by alt+selecting the video clips, right-click and choose NEST...then, right-click again and choose Multicam>Enable. Now you have the video and all the audio tracks on one timeline. I find that easier to deal with personally but to each their own. Unfortunately, there's a bug and the audio meters/levels don't work while in the multicam window so you can't monitor the levels. Feel free to submit a bug report to add your name to the list of people who'd like to see that get fixed. Hope this helps.

Scripting - how to remove a swatch in illustrator CS5

The scripting guide says:
Swatches Swatches Read-only. The swatches in this document.
Deletes a swatch from the current document
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
Set documentSwatches = appRef.ActiveDocument.Swatches
Set swatchToDelete = documentSwatches(5)
swatchToDelete.delete
How am I supposed to be able to make changes to the swatches collection - it is read only...
Not supprisingly I have failed to implement this in C-sharp, any ideas or workarounds?

the property is Read-only, it is only the list, it means you can not alter the list directly, at least in this way. If you see in the previous column, it say it returns a "swatches" object, that's the actual collection you can play with, add or delete items.
Tkartor wrote:

I don't do C-sharp, but the above code works fine in VB, that is if you have at least 5 swatches. Do you get any error messages?

How do you import/ paste pictures using CS5?

Completely new to Indesign. Before a couple of hours ago didn't even know program existed. Downloaded CS5 Trial version.
I'm Used to MS Publisher/ MS Word etc., WYSIWYG interface.
I'm creating a magazine.
How do I import/copy/paste a picture to the page? Just a simple photograph. I want to be able to copy a picture, or import a picture and have it appear on my page so that I can adjust the edges and add text on top of it.
Is it possible to do this? If so, why can't this program have a simple step by step instead of making post on a public forum this question.
You figure, if I don't know how to copy/paste a picture in this software, having just spent 2 hours trying to figure it out, I need really basic, step by step instructions.
This program needs a serious, I'm brand new, what the *_____ do I do next tutorial?
Thanks in advance.

If you weren't able to do everything in whatever programs you're now proficient in, from the first instant, without any learning effort, then please don't bash InDesign or Adobe, or any other application that's not magically intuitive. However, if you were instantly productive in those other applications, and they serve your needs, perhaps you'll benefit from staying with them, and using your time to develop richer content and designs, rather than investing time and effort in the admittedly round-about and indirect learning path that's necessary with InDesign and other complex powerful applications like it.
Regarding tutorials and other introductory materials, if you haven't followed the links indicated in the lower-left corner of the Welcome screen, please click Getting Started, and Resources. You'll find a very rich collection of videos and other forms of free Adobe learning materials.
The Welcome screen appears by default when InDesign is first installed. It's possible to turn it off by ticking the Don't Show Again check box in the lower left area of the screen. Help > Welcome Screen restores the screen.
For even more resources, search Google for terms like "InDesign free online training materials," and "InDesign free online tutorials," without quotes, to find these items on Adobe's site, as well as on sites all over the InDesign universe. Also, Google searches for specific topics, like importing or pasting graphics, are very productive, though it may take you a while to learn to create narrower search scopes by becoming familiar with InDesign's terminology. Include "InDesign" without quotes in the search terms for the most relevant found results.
HTH

It may be a wonderful program, and create some awe inspiring magazines. But for $700, it really needs get some Google type tutorials that explain the basics step by step.
A common interface, that is used by the adobe product line is the exact reason why I've never purchased their products.
I'm sure there are millions of folks like me that know just enough to be dangerous.
So far, I've imported a script, had to change it using MS Frontpage to work with CS5. Imported 96 page PDF document, format each page, then add and delete pages, import pictures, add text, lock them down, fix errors, and create an even number page document so that I can publish it.
All I can say, is thank God, they let me try before I buy. This will give me time to tinker in there. But come on folks, just because you can design the most complicated software, doesn't mean that you actually create the most complicated software.
Take the approach, that you might like some new customers, and actually bring them along and show them what to do.
As I learn the interface, I'm sure it's just as nice as french bread with butter, but for now, I'm having to scrape the mold off of something I found in the dumpster.
I'm sure, I'll learn to love it, but for now, for the love of software programmers outthere, create a product that can be used by average folks.

May I suggest that you read this document? It will tell you exactly what features are not currently implemented in Audition CS5.5, and may save you some time. Yes, I'm afraid that auto-tuning is in the list.
