Vectors in Illustrator, versus CAD and GIS programs

I like that Illustrator can handle .dwg files, so I don't have to restart to windows as often. However, I've found that Illustrator's ability to handle large files, especially imported .dwg files is really, really, ridiculously slow. Compared to AutoCAD and ArcGIS, drawing and manipulating the same number of lines and symbols on the screen, even though Illustrator is not dealing with the Z-coordinates, is probably 80-100 times slower. I want to know why this is so. Also, it seems to be even slower on the Mac version of CS4 than the PC version on the same machine.

Because CAD sees the files as arthimazic and Illustrator seesit as something that has to be drawn or if you wish rendered before output but I think that should be changed my6self as that one change would give Illustrator the real advantage users have been looking for smaller files size, better rendering and super fast working speed.

Can I export solid objects into Illustrator / InDesign CS2 and maintain vector format

Can Adobe 3D export solid objects in vector format into Illustrator or InDesign CS2 suite?
I'm interested in taking solid 3D objects developed in Pro/E 2.0 and import from Adobe 3D into Adobe Illustrator & InDesign in vector format for page layout. I want to import solid objects in vector format and maintain color scheme and surface textures.
I'm running 3D trial version and can successfully import 3D objects (asm & prt files) solid views from Pro/E but can only export wireframe views from Adobe 3D Toolkit into Illustrator or InDesign (CS2). Solid objects first have to get rendered in a raster format before importing into Illustrator.
If this function is not supported does anyone have experience doing this using Quadraspace or Right Hemisphere 3D software?

Any help???? After 2 weeks I still can't learn from Adobe or Right Hemisphere people how to import solid objects in vector format into Illustrator with color and surface textures in place. All imported objects in vector format are converted to a wireframe or line format unless they are first rasterized.

Suddenly, my CS6 Illustrator and InDesign programs won't let me choose a custom size - it's greyed out. Can anyone help?

Suddenly my CS6 Illustrator and InDesign programs won't allow me to choose a custom size - it's greyed out. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but you've posted in the Adobe Audition forum...we specialise in audio here!

Why can't I copy an image or vector from Illustrator CC and paste to Fireworks CS6?

Why can't I copy an image or vector from Illustrator CC and paste to Fireworks CS6? This was possible with Illustrator CS6. I know they are different versions but since there is no Fireworks CC, is there a fix update???

Yes, other users have complained about that. Unfortunately, Fireworks' development was halted a year ago, and I would be surprised if Adobe spends any money or time to fix bugs and interoperability issues in Fireworks. I would not expect any real updates or fixes.
Tough to swallow, but FW is dead in the water and EOL'ed.

LabVIEW 2009 causes CAD and other dongle programs to fail

Hi all,
I have just had a customer say that our LabVIEW 2009 application has stopped their CAD and other software with dongles from working.
Apparently it is due LabVIEW sharing the same (security?) port as something. They mentioned there was a LabVIEW patch?
They have been forced to remove our application.
What do we do?
Thanks.

Battler,
I did some looking into that Article you linked and found out that a few things have changed for LabVIEW 2009. For instance, I can not find those registry keys on my computer that the document suggests to change. Instead, Have you customer create the following directory:
For Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\Logos
For Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Logos
In that directory have them make a file called Logos.ini. In that file have them place the following:
[logos]
Global.DisableLogos=True
Global.DisableLogosXT=False
This will disable the old logos service and make sure the new LogosXT service is running. This may be the LabVIEW 2009 equivalent fix of that document you sent me as it seems that the Logos service is what the USB Dongles are conflicting with.

Can´t copy vector from Illustrator to Edge Animate

In the newest version this should be a function, but nothing happens for me when I copy the object in Illustrator and try to paste it in Edge Animate. Any help?
Another question would be why the filters are even among the tools in Edge when they don´t work on anything, neither vectors not photos.. and also, texts often don´t end up correct in the preview. Seriously, I work as a graphic news designer professionally and pay money for your products. This is not OK.

That´s how you went about it in the older versions. In the New 2014 Edge you´re supposed to be able to just ctrl+C a vector from Illustrator and ctrl-V it in Edge. That´s one of the big new features. But nothing happens for me and there doesn´t seem to be any one else who experiences this problem since I haven´t found anything on it when googling.
Thanks anyway.

Install Adobe illustrator cc 2014 and I have no desktop icons when I save my work to my desktop

I have installed Adobe illustrator cc 2014 and I have no desktop icons when I save my work to my desk top. I have a white square and the file name and thats it. What is wrong? I have no other illustrator programs on my computer.

File associations are handled by your operating system and without any specific system info we can't tell you anything.

Placing a vector from Illustrator in P.S I loose the quality?

Hello and thanks in advance for your help,
I created a vector image in Illustrator. When I drag and drop it into my photoshop document I loost the quality of the vector that I just created. The image looks blurry and I can't read the text I had on it. Why does this happen? How do I create a vector in Illustrator and then place it in photoshop with the same high quality?

Make sure your document resolutions and your raster effects setting in AI match. Sounds very much like you are using raster effects like drop shadows which would still make the file bahve like any other pixel image and cause resampling to the target document res...

Issue with InDesign & Illustrator -- Control Panel and Tool Panel don't show

I just downloaded CS5 Creative Suite onto my shiny new MacBook. I'm formally a PC user and have used the CS suites for a long time, but haven't upgraded since CS3.
I open a file on the MacBook in Illustrator or InDesign and it shows the document window and the pasteboard. But it doesn't show the Control Panel or the Tool Panel.
Any ideas on how to get these items to show up?

I ended up uninstalling the programs and reinstalling them, on the
recommendation of a friend. This has fixed the issue.

What is difference between report programming and dialog programming?

hi,
what is difference between report programming and dialog programming? plz provide some example code
bye

ABAP programming
Basically reports are used to read database and represent the results in lists.
Reports are collections of processing blocks that the system calls depending on events.
We can use reports to evaluate data from database tables.
Reports are stand alone programs and controlled by events.
A report itself never creates events
steps in report:
Processing the selection screen
Reading the database
Evaluating the data and creating lists
Outputting a list.
1st u write simple logics, after that u can enhance the code as step by step.

Dialog Programming
Structure of a Dialog Program
A dialog program consists of the following basic components:
Screens (dynpros)
Each dialog in an SAP system is controlled by dynpros. A dynpro (DYnamic PROgram) consists of a screen and its flow logic and controls exactly one dialog step. The flow logic determines which processing takes place before displaying the screen (PBO-Process Before Output) and after receiving the entries the user made on the screen (PAI-Process After Input).
The screen layout fixed in the Screen Painter determines the positions of input/output fields, text fields, and graphical elements such as radio buttons and checkboxes. In addition, the Menu Painter allows to store menus, icons, pushbuttons, and function keys in one or more GUI statuses. Dynpros and GUI statuses refer to the ABAP/4 program that control the sequence of the dynpros and GUI statuses at runtime.
ABAP/4 module pool
Each dynpro refers to exactly one ABAP/4 dialog program. Such a dialog program is also called a module pool, since it consists of interactive modules. The flow logic of a dynpro contains calls of modules from the corresponding module pool. Interactive modules called at the PBO event are used to prepare the screen template in accordance to the context, for example by setting field contents or by suppressing fields from the display that are not needed. Interactive modules called at the PAI event are used to check the user input and to trigger appropriate dialog steps, such as the update task.
All dynpros to be called from within one transaction refer to a common module pool. The dynpros of a module pool are numbered. By default, the system stores for each dynpro the dynpro to be displayed next. This dynpro sequence or chain can be linear as well as cyclic. From within a dynpro chain, you can even call another dynpro chain and, after processing it, return to the original chain.

While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!
