A way to transform a model chart/map in an editable model?

Hello!

I've been curious about this for a while now, so I was hoping that maybe some of you knowledgeable people here could shed some light on this for me.

I often use Adobe Illustrator to create graphs, maps and diagrams which contains texts for my employer. Basically, he tutors in development of the business at the highest level, and I give it with graphics, presentations, powerpoint, animations, and many other things for his seminars.

Now, sometimes we use our graphics and maps without content (ie. no text, arrows, etc.) so that it can let companies fill the values themselves during their exercises in the training course.

However, my (or should I say OUR) problem has always been to find a way for me to 1) template in Illustrator and 2) to convert the model in an editable chart, or map, complete with text, arrows, etc.

I just finished a little test, however, and it seems pretty good.

What I did to create the map in Illustrator template, save it as a PDF file, and then open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro and insert the form fields in the empty boxes (the boxes on the map must be empty, since companies must fill these boxes with values that correspond to their own (read agenda ((: business)).

After filling the boxes with form fields, I recorded and re-opened to try to enter some text by default, and it seems to work pretty well.

What I wonder, however, is whether there is a far more effective way to create a template chart chart/map which can be modified by others, easily and effectively.

Maybe someone here knows of a viable solution?

See you soon,.

How your end users (the public) and your boss (the presenter) should be able to change patterns?

If the presenter and the public edit the labels of text, but no color, position or the size of the objects, then a PDF form will work. Models for each provision of static graph diagram of construction will be more painful in Illustrator than necessary, due to the lack of the illustrator of diagramming tools. But if you need to build models in Illustrator, you could make a template file "drag & diagram construction kit drop" by taking advantage of these features and practices:

  • Modularize the schema of the page by creating all objects in order to comply with the grid increments.
  • Store each object (and groups of reused objects) as symbols. For example, you may want a symbol which consists of one of the ellipses and his arrow curved to the left. an another that consists of the ellipse and its spire curve to the right, the other with the arrows or the loop arrow, etc etc.

Now you can build quite quickly a new arrangement of diagram of objects by dragging and dropping them on the page of the symbols palette and their position on the grid alignment.

Then save a copy in PDF, open the PDF file in Acrobat Pro, add the fields and activate the form.

For example, I use the method described above for a set of "ladder logic" electronic cards that describe the programming of an automotive module logic. A complete set of logic cards may be about 80 drawings. But because all the graphic elements are modularized to an alignment on the grid, I can build a new set of blank schemes within a reasonable time and replace PDF files resulting to technicians who then type symbol labels in prepositionnes PDF form fields. But then again, this implies that the graphics in the diagram are made by you, prior to use in front of the Group and the graphic elements of diagrams are not manipulated to the seminar by the presenter or the audience. that the text labels are manipulated.

  • Is there a way to allow more than one person accessing and editing a file

    Original title: records of public folders

    Hi, when there is a file on a public folder cannot be access by one person at a time or you get the message 'open read-only '. Is there a way to allow more than one person accessing and editing a file at the same time on a shared drive?

    It's true, but there are a few special cases.  For example, spreadsheet Microsoft Excel is adjustable mode "shared" so that more than one person can make changes at the same time.  If two people edit the same section of the file, they get a prompt asking you which changes are preserved.

  • best way to test mobile models without owning the devices

    I'm testing web phone and Tablet designs, but cannot afford to buy same devices 3 or 4 and still less the dozens that need to be tested today. What is the best way to get accurate results without buying a dozen of aid. I have a subscription 'CC', but there is apparently nothing to help. There used to be a program called "Device Central" in the creative suites, but it disappeared. I left design 2 years ago because of all the design tests question but would like to start over.  I'm tired of watching the tutorials on the subject, only to find out that they don't work without the devices.  Advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

    You'll make yourself crazy trying to conceive for each device.

    Create your sites a combination of responsiveness (using queries media to target a small number of the most common devices attached) and liquid (using width percentages calculated for 'steps' in your MQ of transition smoothly on the intermediate devices).

  • Failed to set the new transformed selection model

    I'm having some trouble by a new ground of a selection in Photoshop CS6. If I just use the rectangular selection tool over an area that I would like to make a new pattern, I can go to Edition > use as a reason to make a new pattern of my choice. However, if I transform selection, or create a selection using ctrl-click on a layer, the option Edit > use as reason is not available. I could not find something online that explains why that would happen, so I decided to try my luck here. Any ideas will be appreciated! Thank you!

    Apparently rectangular selection with smooth contours is a deal breaker.

  • Is there a way to change the models used to generate the client proxy WSDL classes

    Hello
    I'm curious to know if we will be able to customize the generation of proxy WSDL in the FB3 WSDL Import tool. The reason is that it creates quite a mess of spaghetti at the moment and it would be nicer to have a structure to create it classes. something like:

    generated. WebServices.WebService1
    generated. WebServices.WebService1.VO
    generated. WebServices.WebService1.service

    etc...

    In addition, buy using namespaces we can import several webservices in a project that COULD have your bearing the same name.

    Now, it's probably fine for users who have just a few methods for import, but once you start bringing some Web services, each with 20 methods, the directory structure is quite messy.

    Thank you
    Todd

    Hi Todd,

    No, the models used to generate the wsdl files are not editable, and for your destination will not help that much either - it is set at the location code files and not models. In addition, a proposal like this has been taken into account, but it won't really use of the function in the mxml syntax. By having more than one folder, you need to define several namespace prefixes and use - for example for service, one for the vo

    Now you can import several services, even if they have similar class names, by setting the names of different package - the generated.webservices it is just the default that provide us with when you load the wsdl of a local computer document. You must use your own package name - for example com.service_name.

    Hope that helps,

    Try to update the graphics card on p6 - 2317c with EVGA GTX650 Ti. Swithced PSU with a 500W Antec and after installing the new card, I got 6 short beeps and button / stop flashes 6 times more no video. Tried reinstalling card but same problem. Card I tried in old HP and it works fine. This can be a problem on the motherboard's PCI-E slot?

    Hello

    It is possible that your power supply is faulty pin PCI-E 6 power if your particular card uses one to not only exclude the question.

    If the PC starts without installed video card, try the following:

    Boot into the bios and check the safety of PCI-E slot.  The PCI-E x 16 slot must be enabled.  See below:

    Boot in the bios and try to disable Secure Boot, and then Select traditional.

  • Creating a line chart PDF-report generator model with APEX

    Hi all

    I would like to create a PDF report with a chart using Apex and the generator plugin model for Word.

    My Select statement, which I use as the report (shared components) query returns the data in the following way:

    Date Description amount

    The XML document obtained, which creates the APEX, is:

    • Length of value on axis y
    • for each Description of Type single line

    The names and numbers of the discription varies a lot (as well as the values that they are related to the Description and date).

    A lot, trying to make this work for 4 weeks, on and outside.

    Tried to edit the chart XML in Word, edit the SQL query, pivot the result SQL to get the Descriptions as columns and of course a lot of Googling.

  • How can I map models in grayscale automatically scales?

    Script: I use Photoshop to design aerial maps of cities and countries for a RPG that run. Field is created by painting an elevation and apply textures to the different ranges of levels of grey as follows:

    • Black = water
    • DK. Gray = sand
    • Med Gray = grass
    • Gray = lt Scrub
    • White = Rock

    Examples:

    Problem: At present, in order to apply textures to each specific band in greyscale, I use Select-> color range and manually make a separate for each individual texture clipping mask. While this helps to get the desired look, it takes time and does not allow me to simply paint on the layer of the altitude and see the different textures fade in the way in which they can in UnrealEd, Bryce, etc.. I can add an adjustment layer with a custom during the altitude gradient map to represent the correct colors (like on a relief map), but what I would really like to do, is assign templates for the different stages of color.

    If not, is there a way to create each model fill layers everyone to introduce themselves to a range specified in grayscale? I can manage to get a unique texture using a selective color adjustment layer, but the problem is that these look all the layers below them instead of the lowest. (If it's important, I use CS3 right now, but hope to update in the next month or two.)

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    You see this same problem trying to use a dynamic object as a clipping mask directly without first within a group?

    Yes, the same thing happens in CS6 when transparency of clipping sets (SO in your case) is created by mixture-if.

    I have an alternative for you to try in CS3. For each field type, set an altitude IF layer with Blend-If the condition inside a group layer and give the layer group a Style Pattern Overlay layer. All groups have the default Pass Through merger (Normal mode should be OK, too) and the SOs have Normal blending mode.

    The mix - if they are the altitude BOTH within the Group of trees:

  • any way to lock the scale of a model (not dependent on the size of the object)?

    I know about the scale dialog box and the mode of scaling and object independently, but what I would really is a way to block a model to stay the same size and shape compared to any size becomes the object, to which it is applied throughout the document.  From now on, it's hard enough to do what I say... constantly bother with issues of scale in the scale dialog box.  But what happens if you have two objects and you want them to have the same model, same size etc even if their size and move them?  Think if you are mapping and you as "swamp" or "thick granite" symbol and you want the marsh plants few stay the same size easily. It is possible now, but certainly not easy I can tell. 'Traits and effects scaling' option in preferences does not affect employers, is basically down to resize the object and then guess what percentage to keep the model. And I really don't want to do up the dialog scale up just because I want to make one of my larger items and don't want to come into conflict with the other grounds in the same way. Or maybe I'm not using the right program...

    all advice?

    Few things that comes to my mind - disable the motif size change in preferences. The select the object that has this model of fill and click twice on the shade of reason. This would reset the fill of the model in its default size. If you find that too big or small, rework on the shade of reason to get the right size. And next time, when you use the scale dialog box, make sure that you do not have "Patterns" checked.

    To change the position of tile in the fillings - select the object, press the tilde (~) key and using the Selection tool is trying to move the object slightly. Experiment a little.

    If that doesn't help - thanks for posting a snapshot.

  • The page content of the mapping in the setting of the models

    I am faced with the task of remapping on a thousand web pages to a Dreamweaver template. Each of these pages has three main areas that should be maintained in the new model page. Here's the page metadata block and the title in the < head > section and the contents of the body section. Some elements, such as navigation and elements of the identification page are not required as the design model revises these features of the page.

    It's pretty easy attach the model to the original page, but it's pretty disastrous, like the attachment process allows the remapping of the head and the body parts and it is not refined enough to be useful. The alternative is to create a new page from a template, and then copy these three parts of the old page to the new and save the new page under the name of the old page. It works fine, but it's really a lot of time with a large volume of pages and I whereas Dreamweaver would provide a method to automate this.

    I tried to define the editable regions in the original pages to map to the blocks can be changed to the new model without success. I tried to manually insert the code that seems to be used to link the model but all my attempts to fix the template and keep the required content fail with errors.

    It is quite easy to use Dreamweaver's search and replace functionality for trawl fishing in the existing pages and insert tags marking the limits of the three areas required of each page, but I can't find any way to map these areas required for the editable area of the model.

    Is it possible that a web page can be prepared so that when a Dreamweaver template is attached to the specific page content in an existing page can be mapped to an editable region in the template and kept once the attached template? I have checked the documentation online, my textbooks and space of the forum but can not see all the techniques that deal with this issue.

    Tips or advice on how this could be done could save me days of work manually convert existing web pages to use the model. I am currently using Dreamweaver MX 2004.

    Thank you

    Four-ks thanks for this suggestion. I had not thought about extensions and it is even possible to record a few sequences of simple commands to simplify the process. I did not write the extensions but it seems an interesting exercise and something I should try at any given time to improve my skills in Dreamweaver.

    It is looking as if the feature model in Dreamweaver cannot directly support y attach a template to an existing document while retaining elements or content of the document in the process.

    See you soon
