For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

Vector art from Illustrator showing up pixelated in Photoshop

I am trying to copy art in Illustrator and paste it into Photoshop but no matter what I do it's showing up pixelated or low resolution.
I have the Document Raster Effects setting in Illustrator set to 300 ppi.
When I copy the art and go to Photoshop and start a new document the clipboard preset says 72 ppi instead of 300.
I changed it to 300 but my art was still coming in low res.
Just found out that if I switch the units to inches from pixels in the new document window and then change the resolution to 300 it seems to work how I want it to.
Is there a setting that will copy the artwork in illustrator at 300 ppi so that when I start a new document in photoshop it will recognize the clipboard data as 300?
Thank you

Vector art in AI has no set resolution. It is set only on output.

How do you transfer line art from Illustrator to Photoshop?

I created a set of icons in illustrator and would like to move them to photoshop as shape layers. The icons are created from the strokes of shapes, and when I paste them into photoshop, the shape fills in and I lose the stroke. I could add a stroke in photoshop, but it misses any internal strokes that I have drawn. I could plate them as smart objects, but I would prefer them to be shape layers. How can I get these icons into photoshop?

Dear vbach: If by "Line art" you mean Line art in the original sense, i.e., black lines on a white background, I've been doing it for twenty-odd years, copying from AI to PS. It's gotten better lately with the shaped lines now available in AI. I don't have to outline anything. Select lines in Illustrator, copy, switch to PS, and paste into a new or existing file. See attached half-size jpeg. Is this what you mean?

Creating ascii art in Illustrator

Hello,
This is my first time posting and I'm hoping you can help me.
I'd like to color letters of a text so that from afar the colored letters look like an image. The perfect example is ascii art - each character is colored appropriately so that as a whole it depicts an image of some sort.
My question is this: How do you color each letter to an image I have already created? I've tried playing with opacity masks but that colors the text as well as the background [of the text]. I only want the text to be colored.
Can you please tell me how I can achieve this?
Thank you.

I've tried playing with opacity masks but that colors the text as well as the background...
Don't use the artwork to mask the text; use the text to mask the artwork. Be aware, of course, an opacity mask does not address the problem of characters that are "split" by two adjacent colors:

Script to batch rename/number layers in Illustrator CS6

Is there a script that I can use in Illustrator to batch rename all sub-layers? I would also like to be able to add sequential numbers to each layer too. I saw an older post that contained a script to do this but it seemed outdated and doesn't work on CS6. Here it is for reference, maybe someone can modify it to work for CS6?
////START SCRIPT////
docRef=app.activeDocument;
topLayers=docRef.layers;
for(i=0;i<topLayers.length;i++){
var currLayer=topLayers[i];
var newNum=i+1;
currLayer.name="Layer "+newNum;
subLayers=topLayers[i].layers;
for(j=0;j<subLayers.length;j++){
var currSubLayer=subLayers[j];
var newSubNum=j+1;
currSubLayer.name="Layer "+ newNum+"."+newSubNum;
subSubLayers=subLayers[j].layers;
   for(k=0;k<subSubLayers.length;k++){
    var currSubSubLayer=subSubLayers[k];
    var newSubSubNum=k+1;
    currSubSubLayer.name="Layer "+ newNum+"."+newSubNum+"."+newSubSubNum;
////END SCRIPT////

You got me to investigate if other files and layer structures work, and I found one that partially worked. It stopped working after renaming the first top layer and sub-layers within that.
Here's what kind of worked:
before: after:
Here's the structure that I ultimately want to edit and rename. They are the end levels, sub-sub-sub layers. I want all of them to be renamed to "applyColor1" "applyColor2" etc.

Importing Vector/eps art - Adobe Illustrator

Is it possible to import vector art into an iPhoto book?
I designed some logos and want to include them in my Folio book. I know the vector art would print better than raster art (jpegs or tifs).
I would think it's possible because the text boxes are vector art.
Thanks,
Steffon

Steffon:
iPhoto does not support vector art. You'll have to convert it to a jpg, tiff or other image file that iPhoto supports.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Old clip art from Illustrator 88

I'm looking for a file "American view globe.eps" that I believe was included in Illustrator 88. Unfortunately I no longer have those disks. Does anyone have a copy of this file or could tell me where to find it. It doesn't turn up on a google search. Thanks, Jon

Opened Inkscape on my Mac using their mickey mouse emulator X11.
When I tried to import the CMX I got this error notice:
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.
You need to install the UniConvertor software.
For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor.
For Windows: download it from http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor and install into your Inkscape's Python location.
Don't know what to do with that.

Colour gets darker when painting on a coloured Art Board Illustrator CS6

Here's what it looks like
http://i45.tinypic.com/whkze0.jpg
It's supposed to be a bright orange and but it turns dark when painting. Any ideas?

The other blend mode that could affect this is having the blend mode set on the layer. Select the layer as shown on the left in the image. Check the appearance panel as shown on the right in the image.

Boy, I gotta tell ya, Mordy, that is some seriously strained logic.
To me, it's just the reality. A while back, I made the choice to use Illustrator. I don't use any other vector drawing program. Overall, for the type of work that I do, workflow is more important to me than anything else. If one could look at an app as an island, then yes, I might consider other apps, but that just isn't the case. This was also one of the driving forces behind my adoption of InDesign. Sure, on a feature-by-feature comparison, InDesign and Quark may still compete. But that competition is moot in my opinion, because I don't care nearly as much about individual features as I do about the overall workflow.
Back to Illustrator, from the "big picture" there are too many things that Illustrator can do that none of its competitors can do. Sure, break everything down to one feature here and one feature there, and you have the ability to say the Corel possess one thing here, FreeHand something here, Canvas yet another, etc. But again, at the end of the day, Illustrator has the toolset that affects my workflow. For example, being able to export a validated PDF/X-1a file is more important to me than an Eraser tool that distorts open paths. Being able to bring artwork reliably into Flash is more important to me than a ruler that can be repositioned to the bottom right of a page.
James, it's obvious from the discussions that we have had other years, that you and I do very different types of work. Sure, there's overlap -- but I don't do the kinds of technical drawing that you do, and while a project will come up here or there where I need to worry about how a plotter will interpret vector paths, that isn't the norm. So maybe my logic and your logic are on two trains, on two different tracks, going in two different directions.
To put it in perspective, the issue of not being able to slice paths correctly is somewhat of a nuisance to me. I totally get why such a feature would be important, though. But that issue is one I have to deal with from time to time. Bleed support is something that has been a huge pain over the years, considering how often I define art in Illustrator which I then place into InDesign. I have to slice paths 1 or 2 times a month. I have to place Illustrator art into InDesign several times a day.
At the end of the day, all I'm trying to say is, I know what tool I will be using each day. It will be Illustrator. That's my own decision. If AI has a shortcoming, I have to find a way to deal with it. That's the sad reality of it. I shell out enough cash to buy the Suite because overall, it is a total design solution. No other design company offers the tools that Adobe does in one package. Sure, I could decide to fill my hard drive with tons of other apps, but that's a decision I choose not to make. My work also must be compatible with others, and so using Adobe products, which are considered the standard in the industry, is par for the course. As is the support for accepted standards WITHIN Adobe products (CSS, PDF/X, etc.).
On my computer, I have 3 folders of apps. Apple apps, which are basically the iLife ones and my new fave, Keynote. Microsoft ones--Office of course. And Adobe apps--Master Collection. That's my choice (we all have that right). You can accuse me of being a lemming if you want. I've been called worse. But at the end of the day, for the most part, I am pretty happy with the toolset I've chosen to use.

Creating Art for Ipad

I am creating my art in illustrator for an ipad size book. I have been using 1024 x 768 for th eartboard. Just recently I went to the drop down menu in illustrator and chose ipad template and it was exactly twice that size. Should I going forward design twice the size of the target size or stick with 1024 x 768. It is simply bold cartoon art. It look great and functioned well in importing into edge at 100% (1024 x 768). Any help would appreciated.

Hi,
Once you have your vertical or crossed references table already made, you have to right click on it and chance the block name to:
;SC_TA_C_5_L;SC_TA_C_6_L
In this case : ;SC_TA_C means you want to put an arrow trend inside each cell of the table matrix. The above formula tells BI Mobile to put an arrow trend icon on the 5th and the 6th column.
After the column number (beginning with 1) you can put either a _L or _R which tells the app to put the icon either on the left or the right of the value.
What I cannot achieve until now is to put ranges to show green/red icons...
If someone knows how to achieve this, please let us know!
for other types of scorecard types please refer to the SAP Mobile for IPAD guide.
Regards
