Using X,Y coordinates from file to draw in Illustrator

Hello,
I am doing some clothes pattern making and I am interested in using a list of X,Y coordinates to create and label a set of points on the artboard.  I then wish to adjust for size changing only my XY list and get a changed shape? 
Right now I have set the points up in excel and I transfer each point into Adobe Illustrator manually.  I would like to automate this. 
Do you have any ideas how I might be able to do this?
Thanks,
Elizabeth.

can you post a screen shot? and include sample data from excel

  • Problem inserting graphics from line and draw to illustrator

    Hello everyone,
    I had just installed Draw and Line (mobile apps) to my iPad and they both work fine, except when I am trying to insert projects toillustrator... Mind you that there is no problem with photoshop or saving in creativecloud.
    I am getting an error that reads "The file "Project - Drawing.line" is an unknown file format and cannot be opened." I get the same messagewith drawwith the only difference that the.linebecomes.draw.
    I have found this thread:
    Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.
    But does not help me at all as I suspect they are referring to iOS as my version is also 18.0 and I just updated everything and there is nothing new for illustrator. The only matter I could address would be to remove my old version of CS but I would prefer not to yet, as I see that sometimes there are bugs to newer versions and I do not want to be left without a working solution.
    I am running windows 7 64bit and any help would be really appreciated.
    Kindest regards,
    Michael

    Dear Larry,
    Thank you very much! That fixed both my problems. I would have never though about it.
    Note for others, by logging out and in again I got like 9 updates that previous were not there, although I have updated everything like 3 hours ago.
    Thanks once more Larry have a perfect evening!
    Kindest regards,

  • How do I create  a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 in Windows 8 from a Visio drawing on a 64-bit system

    I used to be able to create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 from a Visio drawing in XP. Now I'm running a 64-bit system, no Adobe printer can be installed, and it is unsupported.  Help?

    On a 32-bit system, there is a workaround. I do not think it is possible to get AA7 to work on a 64-bit system (no one has reported success and only 1 has suggested success with AA8). You may be able to print to a PS file and then open that in Distiller. I suspect that is the only way and you will have to find a decent PS printer driver to do it. I suspect the printer driver (and associated AcroTray) will not work in a 64-bit Win8 -- Acrobat and Distiller may.

  • Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

    Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
    I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
    My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
    Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

    As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
    Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

  • Why doesn't "include/object/text from file" work?

    I want to include (link) text from other Word documents to a  main  Word document and I use "include/object/text from file" (Word function)
    It works fine when I do so in "H:", but doing exactly the same in the Sharepoint environement result in "nothing" (nothing happens)
    It DOES work if I link from a document saved in Sharepoint to a "H:" - document, but that is of no use since I need all the documents to be stored in Sharepoint.
    Guess it has to do with the set up och Sharepoint.
    Greatful for any tips!

    Hi,
    Did you mean insert a object in the documents?
    Did you open the file with the local application or office web application?
    In the office web application, it doesn’t have the function to insert a object in the browser.
    I had tested with some word files in the library, open the word files with the local application, then insert file using the insert object function.
    It worked without any issue.
    What’s more, I had tested with Office 2010 and Office 2013, they all worked.
    Did the issue occur in other libraries? You can create a new library to check whether it works.
    You can also download a copy for the issued file, then open it in the local machine to check whether it works in the local machine.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Create IDOC from file

    I have received an IDOC order file, and I know there is a standard program RSEINB00 to create IDOC in system.
    I would like to delete/add segments, change field contents in segements in the IDOC according to some of the segments in IDOC. Where can I manuplate it?
    Thanks for your advice.

    I am not test an IDOC file. I regularly receive IDOC file and need to manuplate the content, e.g. delete some of the segments, determine and fill in field content in some segments.
    I just wonder if I can change the IDOC content after it is created in system, just like what I can do in WE19, but using a program. Is there any standard program for this purpose?
    Or is there any user exit I can use when creating IDOC from file?
    Thanks.

  • Must load packages from file 2x before compl insght works in code editor

    I am used to editing packages from file instead from database, which is good practice I assume.
    When I first load a package from file, completion insight does not work.
    For example i do not get table names or column names after typing select t.<list expected> from <list expected initially> tab1 t
    When I close the file/tab and reopen the file completion insight suddenly works.
    Could you please fix this so that I only have to open the file once.

  • Can Lightroom recognize and import gps coordinates from xmp files?

    Hello guys
    i have LR 4.2 and using Lion with a MBP.
    I recently got gps4cam for my iphone to record gps coordinates.
    Unfortunately i imported all the pix of my vacation to LR instead of importing them with the gp24cam app first
    so Now i have the xmp files with gps coordinates in a separate file for each photo, but LR even though ca see that file, does not import any of the info on it
    Is there a way to force LR to read and recognize those gps coordinates without having to delete all the pix of my vacation from LR, and re-import them to my mac before with the gps4cam app and afterwards import em in LR.?
    i mean i cant believe there is not way to do that...
    y LR can read and recognize gps coordinates if are on a picture, but cant recognize and attach those same coordinate to the original fine if they are in a separate xmp file?
    thanks for your input guys
    matteo

    I would process differently:
    Import your images as usual directly into LR, without the GPS data
    copy the gpx-track from your external device to a storage sport from where LR can access it (my choice: same folder as my images).
    Use either the map module to populate LR records with the GPS data (as stated by jim1403) or a plugin from Jeffrey Friedl for geo-encoding.
    If you want to have the GPS data in your xmp, trigger the save from LR then (cmd s; may be auto-activated in your catalog settings)
    Please note that several import problems have been reported by using other software before LR to update something. Do not let your GPS tracking software touch your images, especially if it offers to write into your proprietary raw files, at least not into your only copy of them... I consider this way too dangerous for my precious negatives. If it also creates xmp, then fine.
    I am also a happy user of MotionX-GPS.
    The real disdavantage of the LR command to read metadata from files is that it is all-or-nothing: it would be so convenient if one could choose which partial sort of metadata (EXIF, IPTC, development, GPS-coordinates, rating+caption+title) - but that would be a matter of a feature request, not for this forum.

    IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
    I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7  iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
              Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

  • I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.

    Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
    Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.
