Problems creating a brush

I'm trying to make an expanded object into a brush, but I keep getting an error message that there's an element that can't be used in a brush.
The object contains 6 images with a clipping mask and a warp from the envelope distort tool, but then I expanded everything, so it should work fine, right? I'm not sure what the problem is.
I tried Scattered Brush, Pattern Brush, and Art Brush and got the same error message for all of them.

Have you verified there are no clipping masks in the expanded artwork? You can view the artwork in the Layers panel or choose: Select>Object>Clipping Masks to locate the possible culprit. Also, brushes cannot contain gradients, in case any are present.
And from my experience, I would suggest saving your original artwork as a Symbol, then expand the symbol to create the brush. That way you alway have the original artwork to return to.

  • Create a brush with objects Ai with styles raster or symbols.

    Hi!
    The Ai added to create brushes from images is a very long-awaited performance for me.
    Thank you very much.
    But I have two problems that I can still perform at Ai. I would like to be sure that it is not the fault of my knowledge about the new features Ai.
    I would be grateful for suggestions
    A. If I create brushes with images, can I create brushes with Ai objects with shadows without screening or gradients?
    B Often, I would like to use a symbol created in Ai to create a brush.
    I understand that, despite new developments currently Ai still allows you to create brushes with symbols?

    A circle is easy enough, sure, but I would like to make all
    kinds of curves in that circle actually. Everyone knows about
    rotating a basic circle. This is beyond that. Imagine all kinds of
    turns, waves and spirals in that line.
    I have tried Illustrator, and there's potential solutions
    there... like the text-on-path tool (why doesn't Flash have that
    yet?) which works fantastic. Still a lot of manual work, and will
    be a ton of manually copied frames. I wanted something more
    efficient.

  • Trying to create a brush to watermark my photos. HELP!!

    So, Im trying to create a brush to watermark my photographs, but the 'define brush preset' isnt clickable, but it is clickable with any other photo i try it with. What am i doing wrong? can someone please help me? It's quite frustrating.

    Haw large in Pixels is the image?
    And quite frankly I would recommend creating a Path and using »Embed Path« instead of a Brush as Actions that include Paths can be more easily transferred without the risk of forgetting the Brushes.

  • Problem Creating Hyperlink to another workbook

    I am having a problem creating a hyperlink to a worksheet in another workbook.
    Here is what I have done:
    Created the master and detail reports in 2 different workbooks.
    Executed the master worksheet to display the data
    Right clicked the field in the first row where I want to create the hyperlink, and chose Manage Links
    Clicked the New Link button
    Chose Worksheet for Where do you want to link to?
    Clicked Browse by the Destination Worksheet
    Clicked the detail report from the list of workbooks but the select button is grayed out
    Does anyone have any idea why it won't let me select the detail report to link to?
    I have OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g
    Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

    Yes, I did add a parameter to the detail report so that I could get detail just for that one item. The part that is giving me trouble is specifying the Destination workbook/worksheet. I see the detail report when I browse but the Select button is grayed out so I haven't made it to the part where you identify what values to pass to the detail report yet.

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

  • Problem creating Allocation Table with Reference to a PO

    Dear Folks,
    I am having problems creating an allocation table with reference to a PO in T-code WA01.
    I read the SAP help that some prerequisites need to exist:
    ==> You can only reference order items flagged as being relevant to a stock split (the Allocation table relevant indicator in the additional item data).
    Can anyone advice me where to find this stock split indicator?
    Also, can anyone advice me how to reuse an allocation table? For example, I had previously created an allocation table with many articles and various allocation rules. I already generated follow on documents for this table.
    Say after 2 weeks, I have the similar requirements that I can make use of the same table, only with minor adjustments to the quantity. How do I create a new allocation table using the existing allocation table data?
    Thanks and Regards

  • Problem creating Network ACL for a ROLE in Oracle 11gR2

    I'm aware that role privileges doesn't apply inside procedures, functions or packages by default, but this is an anonymous block so it should use the active roles for the user.  I also tried adding a "dbms_session.set_role('TESTACL_ROLE');" at the beggining of the anonymous PL/SQL block but I got the same access error.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me on this question, it would be very hard to grant the ACL to all the individual users as they are more than 1000, and we create more regularly.

    Thanks for your quick reply... I don't have a problem creating the basic ACL with the privileges granted for a user.  The problem appears when I try to create an ACL with privileges for a ROLE.  You can see here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_networkacl_adm.htm#BABIGEGG than the official Oracle documentation states that you can assign the ACL principal to be a user or role:
    Parameter
    Description
    acl
    Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to "/sys/acls".
    description
    Description attribute in the ACL
    principal
    Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive.
    My issue is that when I try to create the ACL for a role it doesn't work.
    Have you ever created an ACL for a role? if so please send me an example or let me know which step I might be missing.  Cheers.

  • Problem creating hierarchy based on 2 physical dimension tables

    I'm having a problem creating 1 logical dimension with a drill-down hierarchy, based on two separate physical dimension tables. The errors I receive when navigating the drill-down hierarchy is:
    "Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns" &
    "Missing join between logical tables".
    I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4
    Here are the details of what I have setup sofar:
    Physical layer:
    Dimension table DIM_ORG with columns:
    -dimension_key
    -org_total_code
    -org_total_description
    -org_detail_code
    -org_detail_description
    Dimension table DIM_DEPT with columns:
    -dimension_key
    -dept_total_code
    -dept_total_description
    -dept_detail_code
    -dept_detail_description
    Fact table FACT_SALES with columns:
    -fk_org
    -fk_dept
    -sum_sales
    Physical Joins:
    FACT_SALES.fk_org = DIM_ORG_dimension_key
    FACT_SALES.fl_dept = DIM_DEPT.dimension_key
    Business Model & Mapping layer:
    I created a logical dimension ORG_DEPT. It contains two logical table sources (DIM_ORG & DIM_DEPT) and the following logical columns:
    - All Departments (mapped to dept_total_code)
    - Organisation (mapped to org_detail_description)
    - Organisation Number (mapped to org_detail_code)
    - Department (mapped to dept_detail_description)
    - Department Code (mapped to dept_detail_code)
    The business logical key is based on the combination of Organisation Number & Department Code
    The hierarchy I need is: All Departments -> Organisation -> Department so I created the following hierarchy for ORG_DEPT:
    - Total Level containing: All Departments
    - Organisation Level containing: Organisation Number (defined as the Logical level key) & Organisation (defined als the Drill level key)
    - Detail Department Level containing: Department Code (defined as Logical level key) and Department (defined as Drill level key).
    In the LTS of the dimension ORG_DEPT I've set the Content levels for the sources:
    DIM_ORG : Organisation Level
    DIM_DEPT: Detail Department Level
    In the LTS no -inner- joins have been added against related physical tables.
    I created a logical fact table SALES (based on the physical fact table) and joined it against the logical dimension table ORG_DEPT.
    In the LTS the Content level for ORG_DEPT is set against the Detail Department Level. No - inner- joins have been aded against related physical tables.
    When I create a report in Answers to test the hierachy and select only 'All Departments' I get the correct dimension value returned. When I try to drill to the next level I get the following ODBC error:
    "Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns: [All Departments]. Please check more detailed level keys are mapped correctly".
    When I create a report in Answers and select both 'All Departments' and 'Sales' I get the correct result. When I try to drill to the next level I get a different ODBC error:
    "Missing join between logical tables DIM_DEPT and DIM_DEPT: There must be at least one physical join link between the underlying physical tables".
    Any suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks!

    Hello Robert,
    Your suggestions were known to me but I still wanted to combine the two physical dimension tables in one logical dimension. So I've played around a bit more and found the solution: In my original setup I had two seperate logical table sources (one for each physical dimension table). The solution was to combine the two logical table sources in one logical table source. I achieved that by logical joining the DIM_DEPT table to the FACT_SALES table and subsequently to the DIM_ORG within the 1 LTS and using inner joins.
    Then I created the logical table key (a combination of org_detail_code & dept_detail_code). After that I could create the hierarchy with no problem.

  • Need help with creating a brush

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to ask for help with creating a brush (even a link to a tutorial will be goon enough ).
    I got this sample:
    I've created a brush from it, and i'm trying to get this kind of result:
    but it's only duplicates it and gives me this result:
    Can someone help me please understand what i need to define in order to make the brush behave like a continues brush instead of duplicate it?
    Thank you very much
    shlomit

    what you need to do is make a brush that looks like the tip of a brush. photoshop has several already but you can make your own that will be better.
    get a paintbrush and paint a spot kind of like what you did but dont paint a stroke. make it look kindof grungy. then make your brush from that, making sure to desaturate it and everything.
    EDIT:
    oh, and if you bring the fill down to like 10-20% your stroke will look better
