Why are my SVG paths distorted?

Hello,
I've saved down a bunch of icons from Illustrator as SVG to be made into an icon font.
Most are just fine.
But a few of them are distorted, the points and curves are jumbled by just a little bit here and there ... apparent when I open the SVG file back in Illustrator too.
In the example below, you can see that the edges of some of the shapes have moved when saved down (the font is Helvetica).
Is there a step I should take to save shapes down correctly as SVG from Illustrator CC 2014?
Regards,
Pete

Thanks Monika. I've never noticed that option before. Fixed!

  • Why are all my paths disappearing when I save some files as jpegs?

    I have 2 identical PSD files. Both have 10 different paths that are identical for each file. When I flatten and save one file as a jpeg the paths stay in the file just fine as is usually the case. When I open the jpeg the paths are still there as they should be.
    When I save the other file as a jpeg all the paths are there after I've saved the file and BEFORE I've closed the file. After closing and reopening the file the paths are all gone. If I save the same file as a tiff the paths all stay as usual.
    I've never seen this happen in almost 20 years of using Photoshop.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you

    I am NOT using "save jpeg for web" just to be clear.
    If I were, then the other image wouldn't be keeping any of its paths either.
    I am using "Jpeg" in the Save As dialogue box.
    If I edit the jpeg that lost its paths after opening it and hit "Save" it gives me the compression options dialogue box. Other jpegs just "save" when I hit save, I've never had a jpeg give me that dialogue box before when hitting just "Save".
    If, after opening the image that lost its paths, I paste a path into that image and hit "Save"(using one of the same original paths from the same original psd file), it gives me the compression dialogue box. If I complete the "Save" and reopen the image, voila, the path I pasted into it is still there, and, if I edit the image and hit "Save" it becomes normal again and saves without showing the compression options dialogue box.

    There really is no reason for this to happen. There are no differences in the images except for the content of the image and the file names.
    I have tried new file names and still the same result.
    I have tried working from the Desktop and still the same result.
    This is a serious bug.

  • Why are my rounded rectangles distorted?

    When I use the Rounded Rectangle shape on the Tools Palette, it is getting distorted in the PDF. The other shapes look good. I'm attaching a sample.
    I'm using FrameMaker 8.2p277. To create the PDF, I do File>Print and select Adobe PDF as a printer. On the PDF Options, I have selected the same joboptions that I've been using.
    I double-checked in Distiller and I do not have "Convert gradients to smooth curves" or "convert smooth lines to curves" selected. Those settings have caused trouble in the past.
    What else should I check?
    Thanks,
    Cheryl

    OK. I stumbled upon the answer. When creating a PDF by choosing the Adobe PDF printer in FrameMaker, I had to:
    1. On the Print Document window, select Setup button. That opens the Print Setup window, where I choose the Adobe PDF printer. Then I click Properties, which opens the Adobe PDF Document Properties window. On that window, the Default Settings shows "Standard". If I click the Edit button next to that, it opens the Standard - Adobe PDF Settings window. If I drill down on "Advanced" I can see that "Convert smooth lines to curves" is selected. So then I cancel out of that window, back to Adobe PDF Document Properties. On that window, I select my own joboptions for Default Settings, which I know does not have "Convert smooth lines to curves" selected. Click OK twice.
    2. Now, back on the Print Document window, I select PDF Setup. I make sure that my own joboptions is selected from the list and I click Set.
    Now, the file is generated properly and my rounded rectangles look perfect:
    If I omit either of those steps, then my rectangles are distorted. I think they look like worms that have been stepped on:

    Sheila, I'm attaching a MIF file, just in case you're still curious.

  • Why are my photoshop files distorted and not the tifs?

    Hi,
    I've been importing tifs and photoshop files into my FCE project, and here's my problem. When I view the .psd file in my canvas viewer the still is squeezed and does not fill the entire frame with white background above and below the still. I then import the same file but resaved as a tif and it appears in the canvas frame in the correct aspect ratio. What is going on? (The image properties are 1920x1080 aspect ratio: square) This happens with all the .psd files that are imported into my FCE project. All imported tifs appear correctly.
    Other info: I have started with a baseline photoshop template that is 1920x1080, aspect ratio: square. I saved the images either as a .psd file with one layer or tif with one layer. The reason for the .psd file is that I need to have some areas of transparency in my FCE project (I have overlays). Which leads to another question: If I need transparency within the still in FCE, can I save the file as a tif with "save transparency" box ticked on?
    Thanks for any info!

    when saving as a png should interlaced be set to none?
    Also regarding the tif images...I had been saving them, as a copy and under tiff options:
    image compression: none
    pixel order: interleaved
    layer compression: discard layers and save a copy
    I assumed that this tiff file would be one layer. Am I incorrect?
    And I did a test save with "save transparency" ticked on and imported the image into FCE. It appears that the transparency is there when I view the still in the canvas window. Can I do it this way? Are there disadvantages/advantages to using png files rather than tiffs?
    Thanks!

  • Why are all paths in Clipping Masks and Compound Paths?

    When I open up previous versions of Illustrator files (i.e. CS5), why are all of my paths messed up. Every object is embedded in a Clipping Mask, paths are compounded and in most cases type on a path is expanded into multiple non-editable objects. This causes complete redesign. This is terrible.

    Because Illustrator accessed the PDF part of the file.
    ---> this points to corrupt files.
    How were those files transferred to your computer? Are they on a server?
    How old are they?
    Which versions were they created in?
    Did you already try to restart (the computer)?
    Any plugins installed?

  • Why are there 2 different customization directories seen in MDS repository

    We are upgrading from 11.5.9 of the applications to 11.5.10. We have noticed that before we apply any personalizations to 11.5.10, there are personalizations already out in the MDS repository in a customizations directory. The customizations directory is in a different location, however, than the customizations directory that is created when we create 11.5.10 personalizations. The already existing personalizations in the MDS repository have a 'customizations' directory that is immediately after the <application name> directory (ie: /oracle/apps/icx/customizations/site/0/por/rcv/webui/IcxPorRcvHomePG). The new personalizations applied to 11.5.10 have a 'customizations' directory that is right after the whole document path (ie: right after webui directory), but before the document name (ie: /oracle/apps/icx/por/rcv/webui/customizations/site/0/IcxPorRcvHomePG).
    My 2 guesses as to why these 2 differnt customization directories could exist are:
    1) the path to the customizations directory changed from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10 and the one with the customizations directory immediately after the <application name> directory is the path to old personalizations from 11.5.9
    OR
    2) Oracle puts their own customizations in and the Oracle customizations are found in the path where the customizations directory is immediately after the <application name> directory.
    Can someone please enlighten me as to why there are 2 different paths to customization documents?
    Thank you,
    Paula Jernigan

    Paula,
    I am assuming by directory you are talking about the path in MDS.
    I am pretty sure I have read that the path for customizations did change. We are using 11.5.10 so I cant be sure.

  • Are JDev autogenerated paths needed to create ear, war and jar files ?

    Hi
    We want to create ear, war and jar files from Ant build script generated from JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.
    We also like to use ojdeploy with it.
    In the process of creating build.xml files from projects, we see these paths.
    We also have standalone Weblogic installed with ADF runtime 11.1.1.7
    Questions:
    1- Do we need these path ids to generate ear, jar, war files properly and then deploy the ear to our standalone Weblogic so that our webapp can run ok ?
    2- Why are they generated, if they are not needed
    From research, it appears that we don't need these paths except to keep ant targets of init, compile, exec etc with ojdeploy.
    3- Is that true ?
    We are afraid that because no paths are listed in the build.xml, then when we deploy the ear app, it cant use the ADF runtime on the standalone WLS.
    Thanks in advance for answering.
    Sincerely

    There are two different things here. Using ant to build the class files and then building an ear from the class files and other resources.
    The building part needs the libraries if you use javac as compiler. Building an ear file only needs the path to the jar files which are packed into the ear.
    In this sense you need the pages you see in the build.xml.
    Then Jdev offers another way: ojdeploy. This tool is a Jdev without a gui.
    You can use this tool and build the classes for each project of a workspace and to build build war and ear file. This is just like you click the rebuild button for each project and then the deploy the projects and application. If you use this approach you don't need the generated path ids as the whole build process is done inside Jdev as it's done on your developer pc.

  • Why maxActive Attribute(Context Path) is needed

    why maxActive Attribute(Context Path) is needed if singleton pattern database connection is used?
         maxActive attribute corresponds to maximum number of DB connection in pool. but using singleton pattern only one instance of DB connection will be available to the application at a time , so what is the use of maxActive tag. i know i am wrong at this one . please help me out on use of maxActive in Singleton pattern application

    hi ravi,
    up to my knowledge, activation is enough if no aggregates are manitained.
    refer the following text.
    Activating Master Data and Texts
    Prerequisites
    Master data and texts have already been loaded into the BI system using the scheduler.
    Procedure
    Activating Master Data
    When you update master data from an SAP system the master data is imported in an inactive state. You must activate the new master data so that it can be accessed and used for reporting purposes.
    For more information, see Versioning Master Data.
    Choose the path InfoObject Tree ® Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic  ® Activate Master Data.
    Upon Activation there are two scenarios to choose from:
    The Corresponding Master Data Is Already Being Used in Aggregates in the InfoCube:
    If you are already using the available master data in aggregates in InfoCubes, you cannot activate the master data individually. In this case, proceed as follows:
           1.      In the main menu, choose the path Tools ®Hierarchy/Attribute Change.
           2.      Proceed as described in System Response upon Changes to Data: Aggregate.
    The system now automatically restructures and activates the master data and its aggregates.
    Please note that this process can take several hours if the volume of data is relatively high. Therefore, you should simultaneously activate all of the characteristics that are affected by changes to their master data, at regular intervals.
    The Corresponding Master Data Is Not Used in Aggregates:
    Choose the path InfoObject Tree ® Context Menu of Corresponding Characteristic  ® Activate.
    The system now automatically activates the master data so that it can be used directly in reporting.
    Activating Texts
    Texts are active immediately and can be used directly in reporting. You do not need to Activate manually.
    thank u,

  • Why are my pictures like this????

    I used to have a Dell laptop before getting a MacBook Pro. When I took it into my college's computuer store to be fixed one time, I received it back with all my photos on the harddrive ruined. The pictures themselves were not distorted but portions of the photo had different hues (ex., one half would be normal and then another half had a yellow hue). The lines marking the two parts could go in any direction and any hue color has happened. The store told me unfortunately there was nothing I could do. Even the thumbnails of the photos were showing this problem.
    However, when I transferred all my photos over to my MacBook Pro, I realized that although the color distortions were still there, the thumbnails were perfectly fine and not indication there was a problem. Is there any way to restore my photos from the thumbnail image, and why are they like this in the first place?!?!?!?
    Thank you!

    Its stuff like Adobe Reader (ex...Documents and Data = 8.5MB, but on Usage tab it reflects 17.1 MB and I have nothing saved there).   Other stupid things like a Flashlight I downloaded months ago. It too reflects Documents and Data = 1.7MB but the usage tab reflects 7.0MB.  Again I get and understand the games and apps where I have a profile saved with info, but the two examples above is more concerning and I have quite a few more apps just like it.

  • In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

    So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
    Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

    This is what I meant about how rude you are though.  Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting.  The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid. 
    How is this helpful at all? 
    How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out?  It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities." 
    Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are.  Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
    I'm not stupid.  I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is.  I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now. 
    I have a Pages document.  It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s).  It has page breaks only.  The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages).  I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac.  I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer. 
    The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document.   These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS.  These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks).  As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE.  Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all.  The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on. 
    So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away.  STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong.  STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid. 
    Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone? 
    To anyone else reading this:  I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted.  If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
