STROKE STYLES in cs6

on the adobe help site they mention STROKE STYLES in cs6 can't find them in the STROKE panel--is adobe's info wrong?

radarlen,
I believe this may answer your question:

  • How do I correct the join in a dotted table stroke style?

    I kept super organized when setting up my table styles this time. I set as many things as possible in the table setup, followed by cell styles for certain columns and certain rows (like subdividers). The problem with cell styles is that you can't set stroke styles BETWEEN cells, only around them. So if there's a setting to do this on the macro level, I'd be really happy. I always get issues with misapplied formatting when I apply too many styles or overrides, so that's what I'm trying to avoid.
    Here's the problem: table styles are still treating my strokes on the individual cell level. I've been using dotted strokes in the columns, but there are no joins between rows. They're aligning to the top and bottom of each cell. See the gray lines in this example (blue dots are bullets, not strokes):
    But when I override the column and re-do the stroke in the Stroke palette, they look as intended. Compare the highlighted cells (black) to the existing table style (white & light gray rows):
    Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Any suggestions besides manual override?
    Note: I'm in CS6 on Mac 10.6, in case it matters.

    I actually need the cell styles. That's what sets my font, spacing, and GREP styles.
    I did find the solution today. In the table style or table setup, I needed to set the "Stroke Drawing Order" to "Column Strokes in Front". Even though it was previously set to "Best Joins" and I had no strokes for rows or for the table borders, it just wasn't giving priority to my dotted columns.
    Thanks for your response though!

  • [JS/CS4] What's up with the Stroke Styles?

    Pondering the possibilities of Marc Autret's fantastic ScriptUI Image Injection trick (
    get swatches in dropdown list with color preview... ) I wondered if it was possible to do something a bit more complicated -- a Stroke Style dropdown, with a custom image per stroke style (dashed, dotted, striped), just like the Real Thing. But ... I'm stopped dead in my tracks by one simple nagging problem. Where did the stroke styles go?
    According to my documentation, both Application and Document should have a strokeStyles property, listing all of the available stroke types, and separated dashedStrokeStyles, dottedStrokeStyles, and stripedStrokeStyles properties, to gain access to each of the separate types. However, *all* styles report their length  as "18" and can give me their names but nothing else (dashArray, for example, fails on non-dashed strokes and returns nothing at all for the dashed ones). And the separate lists all seem to have a length of 0. And all of the strokes' "strokeStyleType" ought to return a useful descriptor name but return "" (empty string) instead.
    alert (app.strokeStyles.length); // 18
    alert (app.stripedStrokeStyles.length); // 0!
    alert (app.dashedStrokeStyles.length); // 0!
    alert (app.dottedStrokeStyles.length); // 0!
    Is this my InDesign Gone Bad?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    As far as I know, those 18 styles are built-in styles. You can't delete them, edit or whatever...
    Sure -- but I was hoping to at least see them in a script! It seems I cannot read *any* property out of them ??

  • Make objects with gradient into a stroke style for frames

    Hi Guys,
    I need the frame of the image below as a stroke style (or at least I prefer that above having to copy-paste the elements of the sides 100 times along a frame in my design )
    The thing is: it contains gradients. How do I get the frame to a stroke style so I can easily use it in Illustrator?
    Many Thanks
    Bob

    Hi BobM1990,
    If you are on AICC, you can try using the Image Brushes. You will have to crop the relevant portion of the image and use it appropriately so as to get the desired result.
    You can look for more about image brushes here:

  • Stroke styles

    In ID CS3 is there way to have more stroke styles then the standard offerings? I'd like to create a certificate type stroke border. Quark had this available. Is there a cheap or free plug in for this?

    There is no InDesign equivalent to QuarkXPress's rasterized frames or to the Frame Editor application. (Is that still part of QX?)
    You'll have better luck in he Illustrator forums. Also try the
    Illustrator area of the
    Adobe Studio Exchange.

  • MAC | stroke style stipple crashes on test movie/ publish in cs3 cs4

    stroke style stippled crashes when testing movie or trying to publish.
    I have done some tests where I've drawn a random animation of just strokes say 10 frames with a solid style. Then I've used the same animation but changed the style to Stippled (also with edits to that stroke style ie very dense) and it CRASHES when i try to play the movie.
    This is VERY frustrating for such a seemingly simple change on such a basic part of flash!!!!!!
    This problem is on cs4 and I have also check Flash cs3 at my uni and it does exactly the same when i tried the test again (I made a new clean animation just to make sure it wasnt the files falt)so its not a problem with my computor but the software!
    found out this search result with the same problem http://www.actionscript.org/forums/archive/index.php3/t-41241.html so im not the only one...
    is it just on the mac versions?
    This is very anoying as i have a project in on friday and thought this style went with what i was working with

    Like I said, it is hard to be certain.
    As far as I am aware, issues with Snow Leopard are specific to font anomalies in 10.6.7, and the fact that you cannot use the OS's printing system to produce PDFs via File > Print from Adobe applications. Do you have a link or citation for the issues you read online?
    So, reasons to suspect Adobe: running the Adobe installer triggered the problem; Adobe programs crash and they crash in Adobe code;
    Reasons to suspect Apple: it's not a single program crashing; the crashes don't seem to make sense; crashes happen for both CS4 and CS5; crashes affected non-Adobe programs (that is what you meant by "all my programs," right?).
    So, my intuition is you should try an OS reinstall.
    Though even if the root problem is the OS, Adobe probably has some blame here -- Adobe's programs should not crash. So you can certainly take it up with Adobe and hold firm to the line "your program should not crash; why is it crashing" and ultimately they should be able to tell you why (based on the crash report, and perhaps other things). But the answer may turn out to be, "because this Apple subsystem is broken. Fix it and our programs will stop crashing."
    Have you looked at the logs in Console.app? They might shed some additional light.
    Also, since you have recently reinstalled the OS, you are probably in a good position to reinstall the OS. Most people are reluctant to do so because they have a lot of data and applications, and it's a huge pain to preserve them. It sounds like you're not in that position, so doing that reinstall is relatively easy. I would therefore do it just for the peace of mind.

  • Border Stroke Style like a Certificate?

    I'd like to find a plug-in (if there is one) that can do the same thing in Illustrator CS4 (for PC) that I can do in Quark: Make a rectangular border (frame or page border) that looks like an engraved diploma or guarantee border. In Quark, you draw a rectangle shape, then go to Item/Modify/Frame/Style and set the style and stroke. There are the usual line widths and dots and borders, as well as fancier stroke styles called "Yearbook," "Certificate," "Deco Plain," etc., which can be dragged to resize; even a very complex design, such as the Certificate that looks a lot like old engraved or guilloche patterns, will adjust to fit perfectly at corners when dragged. Currently, the only way I can create a border like this is to do it in Quark, save as EPS, and then open it in Photoshop. I especially like the Certificate border, and I was hoping when I upgraded from CS2 that Illustrator had included this capability, but it hasn't, so I'm asking if anyone knows about other ways to accomplish this -- even in another Creative Suite program, such as InDesign? I guess it's a "Feature Request," but thanks for any suggestions!

    Okay, now I've had a chance to play around with all the options suggested. Thanks to Larry, too. I had looked at the various brush collections under "borders" and about 3 or 4 were almost what I needed, but the borders provided by Scott, especially the second one, really hit the mark. I spent some time looking at Google results, too, and found a lot of fun brushes for which I've saved bookmarks for future reference.
    Wade, I usually lurk in the forums but this was the first time I'd actually posted -- I didn't know how to mark this answered, and nothing on the screen gave me any hints. But I must have been following a reply link without logging on, because the next time I went to the forum after logging on I saw the option for marking the question answered. Sorry for the confusion.
    Anyway, thanks for all your contributions.

  • Breaking up a stroke & stroke styles

    As you'll see from the attached I have a file with a double lined stroke. I'd like to "break it" (where I've placed a red square) to create space for an object. How do I do that?
    Also, I'd like to experiment with playing with the space between the double line in the stroke. To do this, I thought you needed to go into stroke styles and create a new "stripe" stroke style and play with the space between the two lines with the slider. However, when I do that, I lose the width of my existing stroke and it becomes thinner on both lines. Is there a way to avoid that?
    Thanks!

    Other options for making the gap would be to use the scissor tool, or to draw the shape with the pen tool, leaving the gap.
    Stripe style strokes are built using a percentage of the total stroke weight for each element. You don't set an absolute weight in the style definition. To have a wider gap with the same apparent line widths you need to apply a larger value to the stroke weight.

  • Need help saving layer styles Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac (Mountain Lion)

    I have been trying to learn Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). My Adobe software has been updated. I have been doing tutorials using a lot of layer styles. In one of these tutorials, it was suggested that if I would possibly want to use the style again that I should save it. At this point I had entered all my layer styles info and was still in the window with the list of layer styles on the left (bevel and emboss, drop shadow, etc., and the "New Style" button on the right. I clicked on the "New Style" button and when another window popped up asking me to name the style, I named it. When I looked at my styles in the styles panel, I saw the little button for the new style. I saved my graphic and closed it. Later I wanted to apply this style to text in another graphic. The style was used on text originally. When I clicked on it though the style didn't look the same. Upon investigation, a couple of setting under Bevel and Emboss had reverted to defaults. They were different numbers when I saved the style. I could go back in and change these two numbers and get the same results, but I don't understand why these numbers changed on their own -- why the style didn't completely "save." Is there something I have done wrong, or is this some kind of bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    Thank you very much for your reply! Yes, both documents were at 72 resolution. This morning I tried to save yet another style (same resolution document). It worked when I used it the first time. Then I switched to the other style I had saved. That one took some of the bevel and emboss settings from this morning's style. The numbers which will not save are the angle and altitude under the shading section. Just now I made another document (text at 72 resolution) and both styles had changed these numbers to 120 and 30. Is this something I am doing wrong? I am trying to use text of a similar font and size. I updated my software last night in the hopes that that would help. This morning I reset preferences. Don't know what to do! Thanks for helping me!

  • Pencil sketch stroke style

    Y'all, are there are styles (downloadable .STL files or
    tutorials to create the effect) that can be applied to vector paths
    that will alter the stroke so that it looks like a pencil sketch? I
    want to draw quick wireframes with the line and pen tools, apply a
    style, and have it look like a pencil sketch (to clearly
    communicate to the client that they are looking at concept diagrams
    not actual wireframes.)
    I've been playing around with applying multiple effects to
    add noise and texture, but nothing really looks like a pencil
    sketch - I just get lines that don't look crisp and clean but still
    look perfectly straight and have even stroke width for the length.
    I know I probably can't add random curvature and overlapping
    strokes to truly mimic pencil sketches - all I really want to do is
    make the vector paths look "less than perfect" and ideally like
    they were hand-drawn.
    Thanks!

  • Setting a stroke style on a Skinnable container?

    I have a SkinnablerContainer skin that I made using the "new skin from copy".  I've got it working with the fill properties included, but I'd also like to add some control for stroke.  I did this, but the component instance says "Cannot resolve attribute 'borderWeight' for component type spark.components.SkinnableContainer".
    <fx:Script fb:purpose="styling">

                   bgStroke.color = getStyle("borderColor");
                   bgStroke.weight = getStyle("borderWeight");

  • Layer Style - Stroke Style

    I have done this a thousand times before and have never had an issue.  That is until I upgraded to CS4.  When I try to apply a Stoke Style to a marquee box w/ an inside position, the entire box fills.  It never used to do this.  It doesn't matter what size stroke I use, it still fills entire box.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    That's what I was trying to do.  Again, it's worked before, but not now.  Here are the steps.  Maybe you can see something that I'm doing wrong.
    1.  Create fixed size marquee box on a new layer
    2.  Fill the box w/ a color (usually #999999)
    3.  Add image layer above the box
    4.  Clip mask it to the box
    I tried to add the stroke before an after clipping the image to the box and it still fills w/ a solid color.  Thanks for the advice.

  • Changing stroke style of text?

    I have astroke around my text and want to try some of the different stoke styles in the drop-downs next to the stroke size drop down. However, when I apply it, nothing happens. How do you do this?
    Thanks.

    You're referring to the dropdown in the control panel?
    You'll have to apply the stroke differently to make it work.
    Select the text object and then in the appearance panel choose "apply new stroke" then apply the stroke styles

  • Are there different Stroke Styles?

    Does Illustrator CS2 have different types of strokes like double line, triple line, thick thin line, etc... like InDesign has?

    Not exactly. There isn't a palette of limited stroke presets. But in AI, you can apply any number of strokes and/or fills to a single path. You can apply Brushes to individual strokes. You can apply Effects to the individual strokes or fills.
    That yields a farily unlimited number of combinations. You can save the combination(s) you like as Graphic Styles. You can save collections of Styles you like as Style Libraries.
