I have mapped 2D artwork to a 3D sphere in Illustrator...

...and was wondering if this could now be exported as an .igs file etc for 3D laser cutting?
If not is there something silimar out there I could use

Nah, forget it. AI's 3D is just an illusion created with blebds and clipping masks. And if by "3D laser cutting" you mean rapid prototyping/ 3Dprinting, you neeed to meet a lot of other criteria like wall thicknesses and holes being real holes, not just mapped artwork. You will need to learn a CAD or 3D program for that.

    You can't use Bitmap images - photos etc. or indeed any rater image effects  in perspective... you have to wonder what the point is... This is a half-baked feature that is wating my time... because I spent an hour going through a tutorial trying to learn about something that is not going to work with 90% of what I do in Illustrator....

  • The artwork on the first 32 of my albums have suddenly changed to all showing a recently loaded CD. I have recently been asked via a "Pop Up" if I wanted to have my collection artwork automatically found-I declined. I have just updated to 11.0.3

    Hi, can anyone help? The artwork on the first 32 albums in a collection of about 1,100 have mysteriously changed to a single artist (Wanda Jackson) I have recently added to my collection.
    This album was "ripped "from a CD, as are most of my albums. All the albums affected have been on my system for years.
    Two things have recently happened which may or may not be significant.
    1) I was offered the opportunity to have any missing artwork in my collection automatically found for me by Apple, I declined, and the albums that have changed all had the correct artwork attached.
    2) I have just recently installed the latest Software Version 11.0.3
    Any help would be appreciated but as I am not computer literate it would need to be simple.

    Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet.  I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him.  I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack.  I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems)  but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update.  I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition,  because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm.  Verizon has cut this off.  Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years.  Im hoping for a response this time.

  • Google maps don't display right, part is good but about half of it says "we are sorry, but we don't have maps at this zoom level for this region." Zooming out doesn't help.

    When displaying a Google map I get about four vertical strips that alternately display good and in gray bands. The gray area displays the message "we are sorry, but we don't have maps at this zoom level for this region." Zooming out doesn't get rid of the gray areas.
    I've had this problem for over a year and get around it by using either MS Internet Explorer or Google Chrome which work Ok. Otherwise Firefox works fine and I use it for everything else except Google Maps.
    I've tried an uninstall of FireFox and then reinstall but it didn't help. I don't remember what I was doing when this problem first showed up.

    You're welcome

    In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
    After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
    Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
    (The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
    Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I have mapped the fields on the selection-screen  to the BDC on transaction

    I have mapped the fields on the selection-screen  to the BDC on transaction F110.
    When I am selecting a particular any value in select-option on the selection screen, it is giving some default value and the value given by me,for example:
    Payment methods:C
    but in BDC recording for F110 Payment methods:IEQC when the programs is running in foreground mode.
    how can I rectify it?

    This is because payment methods may be a table and what you see IEQC is actually, I for include, EQ for equal and C as your payment method. This is standard structure for ranges or select-options. You can use variable-low which will give you only C.

  • How do we create a a main podcast category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

    How does a content producer create a main category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

    I think you're talking about an 'Artist Page' in which several podcasts are 'aggregated' into one iTunes Store page?  This Apple Tech note deals with the subject (scroll to the bottom of the page):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/creatorfaq.html
    Although your mention of albums makes me wonder whether there you are talking about albums and songs in the music Library? - podcasts don't come in albums.
    You've also asked this in another forum:
    I have created a feed for our podcasts, but they are all under one umbrella. We would like to have subcategories under one main category.
    'A feed for your podcasts' doesn't make sense - a podcast has one feed (and vice versa). Are you confusing 'episodes' with 'podcasts'? A podcast is a collection of episodes - you can't categorize the episodes separately. The category shows only on the Store page and applies to the entire podcast. The 'Artist' page may again be what you are aiming for - if not perhaps you could post an example of what someone else is doing that you would like to.

  • HT1473 When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically.  If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod.  I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

    When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically.  If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod.  I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

    I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
    You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
    For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

    You'll have to restore the iPod to factory settings.  Then sync all your content from your iTunes library back over to it.

  • With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

    With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

    There is no built in navigation app on the iPhone. If you want navigation, with voice guidance, you will have to purchase an app in the app store. While you can use the iPhone maps app to plan/map a trip, it is not a true navigation app & does not provide voice guidance. The iPhone maps app also requires a data connection, as none of the data is stored locally on your phone.

  • HT1689 I have downloaded missing artwork via Google images onto i-tunes but when I then connect my i-phone, how can I get the artwork to transfer across to the i-phone?

    I have downloaded missing artwork, using Google images, into i-tunes.  I expected this to be automatically transferred to my i-phone when I connected it but nothing happened, How can I transfer the artwork into my i-phone?

    Try a reset ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Is there anyway to have maps not take highways, and only use back roads?

    Is there anyway to have maps not take highways, and only use back roads?
    Sometimes I enjoy taking the longer, scenic route, but have no idea how to get maps to give me directions that don't keep trying to direct me to the highway, or if it's even possible!
    Thanks!

  • Ovi suite says I don't have maps installed on my 5...

    This is a bit odd. I used Ovi Suite to upgrade my ovi maps to 3.03 a few weeks ago when I got the phone. I installed maps for a few US states as well. Yesterday I wanted to add maps for another state. Ovi tells me I don't have maps installed on my phone. Then it says it needs to upgrade Ovi suite so I do that. Then it says it wants to install ovi maps on my phone. Ok, fine. Turns out it's trying to install version 3.01 on my phone which of course I don't want to, assuming 3.03 is better than 3.01
    So what gives here? It seems I can only install ovi maps using the Ovi Suite, right? I send an email to Nokia but perhaps someone here knows the answer.
    Thanks,
      Sander
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've seen this happen a couple of times now.
    As far as I can see, upgrading the phone firmware (in this case from v31 to v40), affects Ovi maps 3.03.
    In chanchan05 's post Re: OVI map 3 not working, he quotes 5 installed files that make up the Ovi 3.03 application: Nokia Maps, Ovi Maps, and three Share Location files.
    Upgrading the firmware to v40 appears to remove some of these, namely OVI Maps and the Share Location files, leaving only Nokia Maps.
    The maps application still runs as v3.03 but with some of the functionality missing. Amongst others, the Maps menu screen shows only 9 icons, instead of the normal 10. "Share Location" is the missing one.
    I guess the problem occurs because of some conflict between the v40 firmware (which I believe includes Maps v3.01, and any existing installation of the more recent v3.03.
    That has the effect of prompting Nokia Ovi Suite (NOS) to attempt to 'upgrade' the Maps application. Unfortunately, instead of offering to reinstall the corrupted V3.03, it tries to downgrade the whole package to v3.01!!
    I was fortunate and picked up that something was not right, so did not proceed with the installation. Instead I used the latest version from the Nokia site, which reinstalls v3.03 including the missing files:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/apps-and-services/ovi-maps/main
     Nokia maps works properly and NOS no longer offers the wrong upgrade!
    I thought I'd share this as others could end up wasting an enormous amount of time going round this loop (updating the map data each time takes hours!).
    And I'd advise everyone who has updated their firmware to check they have 10 Maps icons and all 5 installation files!!

    Yes but it can't show your position if your traveling. If you have a iPhone you can tether your iPad to it then use your iPad on the road.
