AI-8 is pretty old, though I'm still surprised. I think CS1 (AI-11) is the oldest version I still have installed here. <hr /><a name="a5295_27"></a><p><b>From: Pedaler (ROYBREWER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.27">#27</a>]<br /> 13 Nov 2006<br /><b>To: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.21">#21</a>] 13 Nov 2006</p> Dave & Dave,<br /> <br /> Thanks for the experiments; very helpful.<br /> Questions I've been wondering about for several years. Although, no clear cut solutions/explanations for these anomilies, I know now to to the Freehand artists and see what options they have to at least get rid of the "single paths" that ruin for any outline purposes. <hr /><a name="a5295_28"></a><p><b>From: Pedaler (ROYBREWER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.28">#28</a>]<br /> 13 Nov 2006<br /><b>To: vectorguy (PBDESIGN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.10">#10</a>] 13 Nov 2006</p> Vectorguy,<br /> <br /> Thanks, but it is not a matter of not being able to correct them after the fact, it is a matter of understanding from where the problem comes. <br /> <br /> I'm hoping to come up with instructions to give my clients that they can pass back to their MAC artists so no one has to make the corrections. [ Maybe unreasonably, wishful thinking. ]<br /> <br /> The experiments by our forum members indicate that Freehand is the culprit since Illustrator doesn't seem to create the "single path" for letters with inclusions. Possibly, we'll soon find out that Freehand can use more traditional fonts if asked to do so(?). <hr /><a name="a5295_29"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.29">#29</a>]<br /> 13 Nov 2006<br /><b>To: Pedaler (ROYBREWER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.28">#28</a>] 13 Nov 2006</p> <p>You might try outline and no fill. That might give you the simple line. Be sure it is no fill and not white fill.</p> <p>I do not know if this is even possible in that program.</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.1">1-4</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5295.5">5-24</a>  25-29</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
