Usage of working disks
By operation with the difficult documents which are especially including set of point images, having great volume, as a rule, there is no random access memory. Therefore Adobe Illustrator program, as well as any other program working in operational environment Windows, uses for temporal data storage a hard disk, information interchange ? which certainly more slowly.
By default Adobe Illustrator program uses the same hard disk on which it has been installed for a temporal file. At the same time, as a primary working disk (scratch disk) it is necessary to use, besides, it is possible to define "the fastest" disk and a secondary working disk which will be used at full ????????????? the primary.
For fast operation of a disk it is desirable to have on it sufficient continuous volume of disk space, therefore it is necessary to fulfill a disk defragmentation regularly. It is not recommended to use network resources, and also replaceable disks (type Zip or Jazz).
Change of setting of working disks is fulfilled in section Plug-ins and Scratch Disk. (Additions and working disks) dialog box Preferences (Setting) (fig. ? 1.17), access to which is carried out by command Plug-ins and Scratch Disk (Additions and working disks) menu Edit/Preferences (Editing/setting).

In fields Primary (Primary) and Secondary (Secondary) accessible disks in system for primary and secondary disks ^ accordingly are installed.

Nota Bene. It is necessary to mean that the program can use new setting only after program reboot. |
Load time reduction
In the course of loading the program expends the considerable time on "under-gruzku" fonts and additional (plug-ins units. To accelerate loading, it is necessary to put things in order in "a font economy"; and also to disconnect unnecessary units.
By operation with the difficult images which are including many hundreds of circuits and diversiform filling, it is intolerable long there is a screen copying, but on the other hand, and switching in completely key line mode deprives of possibility valuably to work with objects. In such situation a reasonable output is usage of mode Preview Selection (the Selected area) menu View (Review) which displays ??????????? only the selected objects.
The big contribution to acceleration of an output to the screen can import reasonable usage of layers: cultivation of logic blocks on various merge also switch-off from an output to the screen of those layers which are not required at present for operation. Certainly that for support of some saving of time, it is required to enclose at first some efforts on activity / rationalization If for the user operation with difficult projects makes its professional duty (profession de foi) it is required not to regret forces on formation of steady skills of rational operation then efforts to their performance become imperceptible (actions will be automatic).
Switching of scales ??????????? and navigation under the increased image takes away a lot of time, therefore, if it is required continuously, working with fine details, to be checked with the general plan, it is necessary to use actively the possibility given by the program, ? to open the same document in several windows.
It is useful to have also in one window the image in ???????????? a mode, and in other window ? in planimetric.
At usage of several windows or at the regular switching from one scale on another it is useful to fix these situations as user "types" (custom views) and to use their keyboard equivalents for switching in a flash.
All most often used commands have keyboard ???? "???????, their application can accelerate access to commands. Shares of seconds which manage to be saved on it, are added during time which can be spent, for example, for a cup of coffee. The list such" fast keys "is resulted in applications 3 and 4.
For reduction of volume of a file and acceleration of handling of the document, and also its output to the printer it is desirable to delete all decorative filling, which are not used in the given document (command Select All Unused (to Select not used samples) the menu palettes Swatches (Directory) and a key <Delete>.
Certainly, it is better to fulfill before final saving or a final output to the printer. Thus it is necessary to trace, that there were no other open files in which filling also can be remote.
For creation minimum on the size, but effective files Under the content it is necessary to adhere to following simple rules.
Vectorial files, in general, extremely economical concerning volume, can strongly (in many tens and even hundreds times) to increase at the expense of the integrated pointwise drawing.
It is reasonable to import the pointwise drawing with switched on flag Link to (Connect) in dialog box Place to (Place). It allows to edit independently the point image, and also to transfer some small files, than one big easier.
It is necessary to show consideration also for parameters of point images and to start with some sufficient level of their resolution. For this purpose it is necessary to know a lineature to which there will be a rasterization of color-splitted bands. Value of a lineature should be doubled to receive value of resolution for scanning or conversion of point images.
If point images demand any changes (turns, scaling or framing) it is more rational to fulfill it means of the specialized program, for example, Adobe Photoshop in which, by the way, it is possible to "take an interest" in a color range and other parameters, and then to import this image to the vectorial program.
It is necessary to avoid also, and if it is impossible then to minimize usage of several lineatures in the same document (it is a question of objects with ????????? filling).
Font deformations very rarely happen are justified from the point of view of an esthetics, except that, text transformations, on a circuit and Excessive abundance of typefaces complicates its direction and decelerates operation of drivers and raster processors. Certainly, it not an appeal to a total failure from all effects for a font, but reasonable sufficiency strongly increases productivity of all systems.
It is necessary to remember it and during creation of vectorial objects, in particular at autotrace. At objects many reference points should not be excessive, and especially such sectors which are called as "phantom" (two reference points lie the friend on the friend or on ???????????? small distance from each other). Such sector is very difficult for recognizing "an unaided sight", but it can become a solving hindrance at printing.
At document creation it is not necessary to be fond too of creation of difficult objects which concern:
? the composite circuits Received, for example, as a result of converting of a font in curves;
? decorative and graduated fills;
? the imported EPS-files (with point images, with ???????????? circuits);
? masks;
? objects with enormous number of reference points and segments;
? objects with several transformations;
? the texts directed on a path;
? a font with tracking and kerning;
? objects with various parameters of rasterization.
In the course of operation in the document, especially difficult in the creative relation, the set of the objects which fulfilling or have fulfilled auxiliary functions can "accumulate". Before sending the document in the press, follows captiously "????????????" all objects and from unnecessary to get rid, and that are necessary for operation, but are not printed, to concentrate on unprintable layers or to save in special files.
It is necessary such to delete not used decorative filling, ????????? colors and gradients.
The grouped objects, especially hierarchically (nested groups), whenever possible it is necessary to group. The same wish concerns also composite circuits.
At document creation it is not necessary to "abuse" importation of files in format EPS. Vectorial objects from one document of the program of adobe Illustrator to another to transfer by means of clipboard Clipboard easier.
At creation of graded-index extensions there is an alternative to receive them by means of tool Gradient (Gradient) or to select more difficult variant with usage of tool Blend (Transformation). The first variant is in most cases more preferable, though also the second is possible if not to create superfluous number of the intermediate objects.
However anyway if needed to use graded-index extensions or the intermediate objects created, tool Blend (Transformation), it is necessary to check up their "deduced" on the specific printer or the phototypesetting automatic machine. The situation when game will not be can quite be added costs candle.
For press acceleration some special are valid as specified above the recommendation (the minimum document, as a rule, it is printed more effectively), and.
It is necessary to increase value of a rectification (flatness), at first, setting ???????? resolutions in the field Output Resolution (Resolution) of dialog box Document Setup (document Parameters), secondly, setting of the same resolution in the field Output (Output) palettes Attributes (Attributes), thirdly, value increase (if probably) rectifications (flatness) in the printer.
To use resident fonts of the printer. Certainly, it is possible to recommend it for printout completely English documents that in the conditions of Russia it is not possible more often.
Not to install in dialog box Document Setup (document Parameters) the uprated parameters of page.
Addition EPSF Riders allows to define for all documents to linia-round and raster slope angle, the form of a raster point and level of parameter Flatness (Rectification), and also to include in the document of the summary or the information on the found out errors. The setting saved in a file of adobe Illustrator EPSF Riders, cancel action of setting of dialog box Separations (color separation Parameters).
To have possibility to create files EPSF Riders, it is necessary to move folder files/Utilities/Riders to a folder/Plug-Ins and to reboot the program. In menu FBter/Otiier (the filter / others) appear two commands:
Make Riders (to Create Riders) which serves for creation of a file of adobe Illustrator EPSF Riders;
Delete Riders (to Delete Riders) ? for its removal.
|
Nota Bene. It is necessary to mean that such files cannot be more than one, besides, in no event it is impossible to change a file name (if there is desire no it to damage). |
At performance of command Make Riders (to Create Riders) on the screen dialog box Make Riders (to Create file Riders) (fig. ?1.18) is deduced.

frequency (?????????????) it is possible to select from uncovered list Screen corresponding ????????? a raster or to install arbitrary ?'????????? from 1 to 999, if ???????????? variant Other (Another).
It is possible to select appropriate slope angle from uncovered list Screen Angle (raster Slope angle) or to install arbitrary in a range from 0 to 360 degrees, if to use variant Other (Another)
It is possible to select the form of raster points from uncovered list Spot Functions (the Raster point):
? Simple Roond (Simple round)
? Inverted Round (Inverse round)
? Euclidean Composite (Euclidean)
? Rhomboid (Rhomboidal)
? Line (Linear).
? Diamond (???????????)
? Inverted Elliptical (Inverse elliptic)
If the form of a point which distinct from is offered, is required it is possible to use variant Import to (Import).
The file which is subject to importation, should be formatted in appropriate way about what it is possible to read in an applied file SpotFunc.txt. And the form of a raster point should be written in language PostScript. The sample for a simple round point is more low resulted:
%! RMl_Spot {dup mul exch dup inul add 1 exch sub)
In uncovered list Flatness (Rectification) it is possible to select value from a range from 0,2 to 200 which defines complexity of curves at handling for transmission on the printer.
In the field Annotation (Summary) at a choice of variant Setup (Parameters) on ????? is deduced a dialog box (fig. ?1.19), in ??? »we say lies it is possible to enter the arbitrary text in length to 254 signs and to define typeface and type size. The text will be printed in the lower left corner of page.
In uncovered list Error Handler (Error handling) a choice of variant Include to (Include) provides an output to page of PostScript-errors.

After setting of necessary parameters it is necessary to push button Make to (Create), and the received file to move to a folder/Plug-Ins.
For removal of parameters execute command Delete Riders (to Delete Riders) menu Filter/Other (Filter / Others). It is necessary to find a file of adobe Illustrator EPSF Riders In the opened dialog box and to push button Delete to (Delete).
