After using Photoshop for years, I decided to give Illustrator a shot and looked for tutorials. Currently, I'm trying to follow this one: http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials...textured-logo/

One issue though, my shapes won't fill. This is how it currently looks: http://s14.directupload.net/images/130520/88jmfda5.jpg

I have taken back our companies logo files from our previous graphics guy, I am trying to use the logo on some artwork where the background is another image, however the way he has made it with shapes in illustrator has made it difficult for me to do.

In short I need help with the icon part "circular section" where i just want to remove the shape to show the background behind it.

I hope this all makes sense and someone will be able to assist.

I would like to find out if anyone would knows how to insert page numbers on art boards. For example if I have 100 art boards and I need to put page numbers on each page I dont want to manually put it in.

Hi folks,

Sorry, it should say "math calculation" in the heading.

I want the red circle 1/3rd the size of the black. And I want the white 1/3rd the size of the red.

Or I can do it backwards and say I want the red 2/3rd bigger than the white, and the black 2/3rds bigger than the red (is that the right math? I suck at math.)

Anyway, outside of writing down and calculating the desired measurements longhand, and then selecting each circle to resize manually, is there some task that ILLY can perform automatically?

Thanks!

I am a glassblower and also a photographer/Photoshop geek Artist in general. Recently We have the ability to mix Glassblowing with Graphic Design. I am really proficient in PS but never got into Illustrator, cause i never really needed it until now with the "trace" feature and the Pattern tool.

I have no problem making patterns, my problem is really APPLYING them. Like the sheets i am working with is 8.5 x 11 " x 300dpi which almost means nothing in AI. Really I can figure out everything but how do i fill the page with this pattern that i have saved....

Your help will be much appreciated, I know i am like 1 or 2 steps away from success.

Thanks If you want to see the glass we are doing ill post it if i have ability.

Thank you.

I have many objects on my board.

Nothing is selected.

At this point, I want to select ANY object. Any one.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to select an object, a layer, anything from the point where nothing is selected yet?

The reason why is because the keyboard shortcut to "Select Next Layer Above", or "Select next layer below" would be the next keyboard shortcut to use. But I can't use them without selecting an object first.

Yes, I know I can use the mouse. But I love keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks!

Im wondering if anyone knows how to do the following in some type of program that can export/import into Illustrator CS6.

I have say, a rectangular path/box that is 6.5x2.4", 0.001" stroke. I have the same type of path/objects/parts that I need to fit into the box the most efficient way possible. I then use this path to drive a laser cutter, to cut the parts.

I have seen the auto industry use some type of algorithm/ program to scan cowhides, then arrange the upholstery in a way that is most efficient. Im looking for something similar to that, other than I will tell it what the box size is, and the part is all the same. I do not think this is natively possible in .ai, but if their is a program out that I can export/import to, that is what Im looking for.

Thanks for the help,
-Clayton

*I may cross-post in other forums, im tired of arranging parts by hand.*

All fine. Now, I've typed too much and the "+" sign appears in a little box telling me I have too much text for the line itself.

I want to extend the line to add more text, in other words, I want more space and/or more line to hold the overspill. This could also apply to the situation where I return later and want to extend the line and type some more.

Easy enough to extend the line, but for some reason typing does not produce more text. Moving the bracket only moves the text, it doesn't give me more room.

How to create more room on the line to handle the overspill?

Thanks!
