Illustrator CS3 - Creating a diagram with perspective

Hi
I am trying to draw a diagram in CS3 that shows perspective. I have to show a drawing that shows infinite documents. So how do you repeat documents with perspective going in a oval? The document icon are standing up and I want them to go in an oval shape. With the documents getting smaller as you loop around. The documents are basically rectangles that has been skewed. The rotate tool?
Thanks in advance.

You can't simply rotate the objects. I would build this with the 3D-effect out of bird's eye view.
Like this:
You can render this without shading and then use it to draw yours.

  • My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

    after installing OS X Yosemite software upgrade my Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open with the ability to use the tools, only as a Read only file. I was told to install JavaForOSX2014-001 but that has not helped.

    Yes I am having the same exact issue.  CS6 works fine except for InDesign.  I have used the Java Legacy Updater with no help to the scenario.  Just bounces up/down and then gives me this nice little error message, which I get repeatedly:

  • Opening eps files  in illustrator cs3, created with GMT

    I have been using previous versions of illustrator (10.0, 11.0, 12.0) to edit my eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) with no problem.
    I have just recently installed CS3. When I open these GMT generated eps files the colors are changed and lines are shifted when compared with the original eps image (which i can open and view in GSview, a postscript viewer, with no problem).
    My current work-a-round is to open these eps files with illustrator 11.0 (which I have installed on another computer), save the file as an AI file (version 11.0), and then open this file with illustrator CS3. The file then displays correctly.
    My question is this, what has changed with the CS3 version of illustrator that does not allow me to open eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools). Older versions of Illustrator open these files with no problems.
    My OS is windows XP - 64-bit. My older computer running illustrator 11.0 is winXP - 32 bit. I bought the newer Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard because I was having trouble installing the older version of illustrator onto my 64-bit machine.
    Thanks!
    Laura

    Hi Laura,
    I have the same problem with CS5... and no previous versions to convert my files!
    Did you find another way?
    Thanks!

  • Illustrator CS3; creating an outline around a shadow only

    I am working with illustrator CS3 and and trying to figure out how to go about creating a outline for a drop shadow only. I know how to create the drop shadow and apply it to the selected work but when I want to add another stroke it wants to add it to the letters and to the outline and it adds small lines in between connecting the two. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • Problems trying to install Illustrator CS3 on a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.2

    I'got a trial copy from Adobe and follow the installation procedure but it failed, being only installed the common resources but no the Illustrator itself. What to do?

    >What to do?
    Ask in the Illustrator forum?
    This one is for Acrobat.

  • A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

    In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

    I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

  • PDF file created but opens with 148% zoom

    I created a pdf document in illustrator cs3 but it opens with 148% zoom in reader 8.
    How can I change this in to 100% or even 75 % zoom when it opens.
    I want to use it but when someone opens it res. is lousy

    If you don't have Acrobat, you cannot change the way the file opens. There does not appear to be a way to do this when you save as a pdf.

  • My A. Illustrator CS3 (v. 13.0.0) will not update to any of the latest versions

    For several weeks already, my Adobe Updater has been trying to update to the next version (13.0.1) and I kept getting the same message:
    Message: Installing the patch....
    An error occurred during installation. The update cannot be applied to the product. Please re-install the product and try again.
    I re-install the program twice from the original DVD. Yesterday, I downloaded the newest upgrade 13.0.2, ran the upgrade and I am still getting the same message as above.
    Should I download the newest free trial of A. Illustrator CS3 and then activated with my serial number? Will the free trial have all the bells and whistles? Does anybody have any suggestion as to what to do to get a clean update? Thank you.
    Sal

    OK ALL. Fair dinkum. It took me a while as well with updates to illustrator CS3 13.0.0 to 13.0.02. After reading through all the forums, there seemed to be no answer. BUT this is what I found to work for me!.
    After reinstalling illustrator (creative suite standard) quite a few times, on my mac, and also another mac, and then updating on a new mac...again illustrator would not update!!!!
    WHATEVER YOU DO DONT INSTALL THE FLASH LITE 3.0 update. When updating your program(s), that is creative suite, or whatever, photoshop, version cue, bridge, indesign etc etc... I found that if you check the preferences in the install process, DONT CLICK FLASH LITE 3.0.
    S*it after that I managed to get all the programs to update with no problems.
    Good luck everyone! Hope it works for you as it did for me.
    Regards

  • Generate ER Diagram with Sql Queries ?

    Please provide me the answer and suggestion. It will be greatful for me.
    Thanks & Regards

    Yes, you can engineer your physical model to a logical one, then you'll have an ERD as well. It's a right-click on the model I believe.
    To be more specific, if you relational model is loaded, you can use the button in the toolbar that looks like a double-blue-arrow, or you can mouse-right-click on your relational model in the tree. This will engineer your model to a logical one. You'll then have your ERD.

  • Creating Hi Res PDF files from Illustrator CS3 with overprints

    I am trying to create a hi res PDF of an Illustrator CS3 file which has overprints included. I am creating the PDF through Acrobat 9. Once created the visual on screen does not maintain the overprint. I know that I can view the overprint in Acrobat 9 by going to Advanced-print production-output preview. Is there any way of saving this preview so it automatically activates when the PDF is opened?
    I have opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and this has a tick option next to overprint preview which stays activated. Does 9 have this anywhere?

    There is a setting for overprint displays in the preferences of Acrobat 9. It's in the Page Display section, under "Page Content and Information". The options are: 1) Only for PDF/X files (which is the default setting); 2) Never; 3) Always; and 4) Automatic. I would recommend changing this to Automatic, which examines the file to see if there's any content that needs overprint preview on to display correctly.
    These settings are also available in Adobe Reader 9.
    You cannot save the view with the file so that it always displays with overprint (since this might require that it make a change to the user's preferences if they aren't set up to display it).  But the overprints are there and ready to be displayed if the application is set up to display them.
    Is this what you were looking for?

  • Gradient with stroke problem Illustrator CS3

    We make a gradient object in Illustrator CS3 and give it a stroke which is centered. Then we rotate the object and the gradient rotates with the object.
    But then when we put the stroke alignment to inside or outside the gradient fails. It shows the gradient in the original 0-position instead of the angle we have created. When we put the stroke alignment back to center the gradient shows as we meant it to show again.
    When stroke alignment is on outside or inside before we rotate the object it shows the same problem.
    But when I copy an object from CS2 with an angled gradient and a inside or outside aligned stroke. The problem isn't there. When we start copying the object within CS3 the problem shows again (not when I use alt-key to copy, but with ctrl+c and then ctrl+v, ctrl+f or ctrl+b).
    Illustrator CS2 didn't have this problem. But now in CS3 we have it. I used to have this same problem in old versions from Macromedia Flash. But I never had it with Illustrator.
    Is this a bug or do we need to handle our gradients in a different way when using Illustrator CS3?

    It's a memory issue. If you scale your artwork down (say, to 50%), then save, it should work (it can be scaled up in the page layout software). If you're using raster effects you'll have to make sure they scale as well and that your raster effects resolution is appropriate for the final output size.

  • Opening ps files in illustrator cs5, created with GMT

    Hi!
    I use illustrator to edit my ps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools). It was not a problem on my macintosh but I cannot open them with my new PC.
    My OS is windows 7 - 64-bit.
    When I open these GMT generated ps files the colors are changed and lines are shifted when compared  with the original ps image (which I can open and view in GSview, a  postscript viewer, with no problem). It seems that the opened ps contains the figure twice.
    I tried different configurations:
    - It works on windows XP 32bit with illustrator CS
    - it works on mac OS X with illustrator CS2
    - it does not work on  windows 7 64bit with illustrator CS3 and CS5
    Thanks!

  • Using Adobe Ideas with Illustrator CS3

    I am using Adobe Ideas in an iPhone.  I have Adobe Illustrator CS3 which won't open the idea file.  Do I need to update my version of Illustrator or is there some way to open the files with the version I have?  Also, are they vector or rastor files? 

    Hi!  You are correct, Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open an Ideas file.  As a minimum, you will need Adobe Illustrator CS5, which also requires the Ideas/Illustrator plugin.  If you upgrade to Illustrator CS5, you need to download & install the Creative Cloud desktop application and then install the Touch Apps Plugins.
    Alternatively, if you upgrade to the latest Adobe Illustrator, you should be able to open your Ideas files in it directly.
    Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
