lewislepton Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 what im trying to do is this: I have a series of lines that are grouped & what im trying to do is insert a block of colors into that group of lines, so the group uses the blocks colours instead, but keeping the shape of the grouped lines. BUT the grouped lines can not do this until I rasterise the group instead & then drag those block of colors over the top. but doing this makes the quality pretty cack & I want the best I can get for printing I know there is a way, but I cant remember the verbiage of it, nor can I remember where im sure I have seen this before it would be great if someone could help as this is stopping me from sending the prints off to get... errr... printed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewislepton Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I cant post what im doing since its a job - but I did make a dud project to show screeshotted & described the groups as block & lines the lines have no fill but the stroke is just large so what it is is use the colors & order from the blocks & insert it over the lines, but keeping the layout of how the lines are. it chops off the lingering grouped blocks that are not within the grouped lines I can do this easily with rasterizved grouped lines, but quality goes down at certain scales. I want to try & keep the quality as high without having to rasterize thanks for the help & hope my explanation makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
