Is there any way to find out what brush is applied to a path?

$

0

I'm trying to write a script: select some paths, run the script, then each path that has a brush applied to it is changed to use a random brush whose name is sufficiently similar to its current brush. The application is pretty obvious - draw a bunch of lines in, say, 'ragged marker 1', then give it some extra liveliness by having five or six 'ragged marker' brushes that get randomly chosen.

 

The problem I'm running against is that as far as I can tell, Illustrator only lets Javascript set what brush an object is using with brush.applyTo (artItem), but I can't seem to find any way to find out what path a brush is currently using via JS.

 

Am I just not looking in the right place of the Javascript reference, or is this really a thing that only has a setter, with no corresponding getter?

Illustrator not working?

Hey.

 

I got this question mark on my Illustrator: Gyazo - a27b47cd6ba7bf28d67a5eef530b9046.png

I tried uninstalling and installing, but it took forever. So, I quit Creative Cloud and now I can't find Creative Cloud on my Mac (not in toolbar anymore). When I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, it said that there is another one open (there isn't).

 

I need help, thanks!

I need help duplicating this design

Hello all,

 

I recently had a friend do a design for my band. I have a jpg that I've been using in smaller format work like stickers/etc. But I'm looking to duplicate the design in Illustrator now so I can use it for screenprinting, etc. I have managed to duplicate the basic paths of the log itself, but I'm looking to figure out a workflow to duplicate the dots in the design. Here are a couple screenshots to show what I mean. Thanks in advance for any help.

Keeping the same opacity of two objects that overlap

$

Hi, I have a simple question which I should be able to explain with out a diagram.

 

I have simply two objects the exact same color which cross paths at certain points. I have applied a opacity amount of 80% to both objects and I want the objects to maintain the same color where they cross paths. Unfortunately when they cross paths the color becomes darker and is still transparent but not equal to both objects where they do not cross paths.

 

Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

 

Lee.

Unable to resize any objects.

Unable to resize any objects.  For example, if i draw a square and then click off, I lose the ability to resize the box. It will only give me anchor points which can't be moved. If i try to move an anchor point, I end up moving the object instead.  Is this a program error?


Please help!

Problems Printing old CS1 files in CC

Printing old files imported from CS1 in CC I get the following warnings:

 

Warning

  The document contains artwork that requires flattening.

  The document contains RGB images.

  The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less.

 

I really don't know where to begin?

I've changed the document color mode to CMYK - it was RGB originally.

The print preview screen is blank.

This doesn't seem to be the problem as other similar RGB documents print fine.

 

I've tried to flatten transparency after selecting all items, this doesn't work either.

Why the need to flatten artwork?

File contains gaussian blurs - the blurred items printed in a new file.

 

I don't think it is the less than 72ppi warning.

 

I print from Illustrator to PDF CC.

When I copy the paths/objects from one file to a new one the print preview and print work fine?

This is an impractical solution as there are 100s of sub-layers with hidden and locked items.

 

Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers

Photoshop is working as usual but Illustrator won't open.  Does anyone have any ideas that might solve this?

How do I achieve this line art effect?

I'm trying to replicate the design below but I'm not sure if I'm using the correct approach.

 

60b87dfc64d00317baeb147c3570cc77.jpg

 

First, I used Photoshop to desaturated an image and adjusted the levels. Next I imported into Illustrator and live traced it after tweaking the options.
However, I can't seem to have a nice clean line art like the one above. Do you think that design use another method (maybe manually tracing multiple images using the pen tool)?

I can't believe Illustrator has a Revert option with a short cut so similar to undo. I just found out about this the worst way possible: accidentally reverting 1h30 of extremely productive work on a logo. What a terrible idea. If would at least save a cop

I can't believe Illustrator has a Revert option with a short cut so similar to undo. I just found out about this the worst way possible: accidentally reverting 1h30 of extremely productive work on a logo. What a terrible idea. If would at least save a copy of what you're reverting. Now I have to re-do it??? Anyone has a magic trick to "undo" the revert? I looked everywhere and only found out it can't be undone so far.
