How to pick automatic colors in gradient mesh?

Hi, first, sorry a bad english;.
I can pick automatic colors for points in gradient mesh?
How to make? My mesh have much points and need a long time to color one by one.
I think, all understand-me, thanks;

You've got an awful lot of points there.
Rule#1: work with as small number of points as possible. Often it's better to split the artwork into several meshes. In this case: extra mouth, extra eyes for instance.
There's no automatic way of coloring meshes. Take the lasso tool to select more than one point, but that's about it.

Swapping out colors in gradient mesh

Hi everyone,
I have a gradient mesh and I used a single pantone color to shade it, ie. with different tints of the one colour.
I want to see what it looks like in a different pantone color and wondered if there was a way to swap out the original color for a new one and keep the different percentages at the same time.
Any advice much appreciated.

I would do this a much different way.
I would select the gradient mesh object
go to Edit>Edit Color>Recolor Art
then select the icon right center to create a color group from the art.
Then select the change color icon next to color you want to change
then at the bottom center there is a pull down from an icon that looks like swatches and select a library from which to choose you swatch.
The select the swatch you want and the color will be updated at the same tint value, although have other options as far as how it updates color.

How to sample one color from gradient

I have an object in Illustrator CC that has a gradient applied to it. I would like to use the eyedropper tool to sample just one color selected from a specific point in the gradient but when I click on the object with the eyedropper the whole gradient is picked up.
How to I sample just one point in a gradient?
I looked at my eyedropper preferences. Everything is checked. I didn't see an option that would let me do what I wanted.
Any suggestions?
Phil

Yeah I sure did try, but unfortunately I believe it's a limitation of the operating system. Windows on Windows OS like to be contained within the window area. In this case, illustrator loses focus of the cursor when you leave the window borders. I was hoping you were on Windows and had a way around it.

Group vector points for easy gradient mesh color control

I'm working with some gradient mesh shapes, and am finding it a pain to have to individually select the points in the middle of the shape to select their color, and then deselect them when I want to change the points on the outside.
I've tried grouping when the appropriate points selected, but doesn't seem to stick. Is there a better workflow method to keep adjusting the color of gradient meshes?
Thank you!

With the points you want to be able to re-select selected, go to the select menu -> save selection. Then you can get to that selection at the bottom of the selection menu.

Bristle brush merge to single gradient mesh object?

Hi there, I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I'm using the bristle brush to create some organic highlighting on my objects. Since the file gets too large & unmanageable, I tried thinking of other ways to reduce it down to just one gradient mesh object. I've seen suggestions of converting the bristle brush strokes to Raster, but I need this to be scaleable.
I've attached an image that shows an example of the bristle brushed object (painted inside an object), the outline view and the crazy Expanded view.
Any suggestions on how to combine this into one gradient mesh object? Any other ideas? I can't seem to find anything in the forums or on the web that addresses this.
Thanks so much!

THis is nearly automatic:
Not that I would advise to create a mesh like this, but for this kind of structure quite OK.

Reflectivity with Gradient Mesh ?

I want to know how to create glass using the gradient mesh tool. I want glass that is reflective with transparency, I don't want the transparency to show the object below or that would kill the effect, gradients work but I want quasi-realism unless gradients are my only option in that case, I know my answer

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I want glass that is reflective with transparency, I don't want the transparency to show the object below
Transparency, by definition, shows the object below.
Are you just saying you want to draw a scene that contains a glass object which appears to be transparent in the scene, but that doesn't actually use any AI "transparency" feature--in the sense that you can convincingly paint a wine glass using opaque oil paints?
Regardless, why the insistence on a specific tool (Mesh Grad)?
Drawing glass is like drawing anything else: just draw what you see. When you look at a glass, you don't see glass; you just see highlights, shadows, reflections, and distortions (if the glass is curved) and perhaps a slight tinting of whatever is behind the glass. So just draw the highlights, shadows, reflections, distortions, and tints that you see.
Which tool you use is mostly immaterial, but Mesh Grads are in general unwieldy and tedious. Glass reflections and highlights are very often sharp-edged along at least one side. You can accomplish sharp edges with Mesh Grads, but their claim to fame is primarily multi-directional grads, which regular linear and radial grads can't do.

How does Mavericks automatically pick a sender's background color automatically?

I've noticed that some senders have the same background color as my blue color in messages on Mavericks when I have the settings set to automatically pick a color? Just curious.

Hi,
iChat and Messages users can set a Font, the colour of the text and to start the change process the background to the Balloon (or other style).
In addition to can choose to override the incoming data.
Both are set in Messages > Preferences > Viewing (it used to be called Messages but it was appearing in too many places).
If your Settings are for the Incoming stuff to be Automatic you will see whatever they sent.
iChat and Messages app will send you what they have chosen.
iPhone and other iOS devices tend to be white as there is no colour info from the iOS app. (it only colours the iPhone/iPad end as to how it is sending the iMessages (green) or SMS (blue).)
Some people using the Mac version will have chosen the same colour as you.
The same may also be true of AIM users using AIM on a PC or if you are using a Jabber ID then a Jabber app may have the same colour as a choice.

Is it possible to create a gradient mesh object with 2 spot colors which separates & prints as a 2 color print job?

I have a gradient mesh object which uses 2 spot color values (including some tints of those 2 colours) which I'd like to print as a 2 color print job. Is this possible? If not, any suggestions as to how I should proceed? The print job MUST be 2 color. Ideally I don't want to use raster objects but if I have to would appreciate any advice on the easiest way to transform my 2 color mesh object into a matching duotone raster object.

I'd really say it's that PPD with the new n-space features of CS3 and CS4. If I use your PPD I get the same shoddy results you do with the postscript file. In fact, Acrobat Distiller errors with a log...

If I use your PPD, print your AI file to a postscript file, then simply open the resulting Postscript file with AICS4, I see the same bad results that I showed in the movie. I think the PPD can't handle the new method of breaking out spots in gradients. Just to test this theory... try a different PPD and see if that works, at least to show the seps properly.

Gradient Mesh- Coloring individual points

I'm trying to practice on myself using the gradient mesh tool… I understand the point made about making many smaller meshes e.g. eyes, nose, mouth…
I'll start from the beginning…
I open an image of myself >open the layers panel and lock my image…
Create a new blank layer…
Then I select my pen tool…
Start making an outline of my face, approximately 1-3 pixels all the way around the outside…
Then I go up to the menu bar and click on, "Object >Create Gradient Mesh" - 15 rows by 15 columns…
then I use the selection tool and select the whole mesh that was just created…
then set the opacity to 0%…
Using the direct selection tool to select & move anchor points and handles as needed to match light lines…
then I use the mesh tool to select an anchor point to start coloring…
this is where I start to run into trouble…
after selecting my first anchor point to color, I select the color picker tool from the toolbox…
for some reason I'm not able to select that color beneath the mesh (the color underneath the selected anchor point)…
I played around & so far the only way I'm able to select the color beneath is by moving the whole mesh to the side, but… I end up losing the reference point of where that anchor was…
Illustrator CS6
Any help, tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated…
Thank you in advance,
Rob

I ended up watching a video with no sound at YouTube…
What the person did was/sound similar to what you're telling me…
Lock the image layer and create a new layer >used the square tool >added points and move them where needed >while holding down the control key this person clicked on the eyeball of layer 2…
I don't know if your way has the same effect, but… This worked perfectly for me, holding down the control button while clicking on the eyeball…
I'm now able to select the color underneath the anchor points…

How is the storage type for a component picked automatically in PO staging

Hi
The Process cycle is :
Sales Order created MRP-Planned Order ---Production Order
Problem : Transfer Requirement not created for Picking
Now if I go to Co03--GOTOWM Pick list , For the component the storage type is notr updated automatically
I compared with Materials for a TR was created & found that Storage type 100 was updated automatically
Q:How is the storage type for a component picked automatically in PO staging (WM activated )

Hi Rajesh
Thanks for your inputs . Actually I forgot to mention that the client is not using Storage type in any of the material master data
The problem was because the control cycle was not maintained for the combination of material /Plant & Supply Area
Anyway thanks for your info .Appreciate your cooperation

How to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

how to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
Key features:
• Output multiple InDesign files automatically
• Output as single pages
• Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
• Output files to multiple formats at once
• Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
• Update modified links automatically

How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter INV?

1.How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter Invoice?
2.What is Algorithms? Where is it used?
3.What is the use of Customer Ledger Inquiry?

The document type is hard coded by the system. Look at UDC table 00/DT for the document types in your system. Notice that some of those are marked as hard coded/reserved by JDE. You may wish to dowload the Accounts Receivable manual and read that to learn more about the document types.
Not sure what you mean by algorithm, unless you are looking for how the system determines what document type to assign on invoice entry.
These comments apply to accounts receivable and to JDE World, since you posted in the JDE World forum and are talking about the customer ledger inquiry. If you are in Enterprise One and asking about Accounts Payable, then this reply can be ignored (though Enterprise One works pretty similar to World in this respect).
What is the use of the Customer Ledger Inquiry. To view accounts receivable detail history for a given customer, viewing on line. Whomever works in the accounts receivable department will likely use the Customer Ledger Inquiry quite a bit.
Hope this helps a bit.

How to draw a bar with Gradient Color ?

Hi,
How to draw a bar with Gradient Color ? I see
in Java Help about GradientPaint, maybe this
can help ?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Try to use this in you paint method :
public void paint(Graphics g)
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
// Get the height & width
int width = this.getWidth();
int height = this.getHeight();
// Create the gradient paint
gradientPaint = new GradientPaint(0,0, Color.blue, width, height, Color.red);
g2D.setPaint(gradientPaint);
g2D.fillRect(0,0, width, height);
