• change the text of legend group object image size figure

  I need to change the text frame size legend for figure based on the width of the figure in grouped objects

  How to do it please advice.

  Your information and code are not accurate! > Some parentheses are missing, expand the textframe 240 or the width of the image?

  However: Everything made to the works contained in the user interface, it expands the scope of the legend in my test to the right. I decided to write an own function for editing.

  main();
  
  function main() {
  
  var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
  var allGroups =  curDoc.groups;
  
  for (var i = 0; i < allGroups.length; i++) {
    var curGroup = allGroups[i];
    var pItems = curGroup.pageItems;
    if (pItems.length != 2) { continue; }
    for (var j = 0; j < pItems.length; j++) {
      var curItem = pItems[j].getElements()[0];
      var constrName = curItem.constructor.name;
      if (constrName == "Rectangle") {
        var rect = curItem;
      }
      else if (constrName == "TextFrame") {
        var tf = curItem;
      }
    }
    var rectGB = rect.geometricBounds;
    var tfGB = tf.geometricBounds;
    tfGB[1] = rectGB[1];
    tfGB[3] = rectGB[3];
    tfGB[2] = tfGB[2] + 20;
    tf.geometricBounds = tfGB;
    fitFrame(tf);
  }
  
  function fitFrame(aFrame) {
    var lastBaseLine = aFrame.lines[-1].baseline;
    var b = aFrame.geometricBounds;
    aFrame.geometricBounds = [b[0], b[1], lastBaseLine, b[3]];
  }
  }
  

  Note: The script will check if there are two elements on the page of the group. It does not, check if these two elements are textframe and rectangle, it assumes that it is correct.

• Change the display time for grouped objects

  Hello, I have problems to change the display time for the grouped items. I use 7 Captivate and I love how now grouped items display only as an element in the timeline because it reduces the number of lines visiblein the chronology for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects is more individually appear in the timeline panel, I can't see all the adjustments for group objects together.

  If someone else has had this problem and is there a work around? My main problem is that if I need to extend or shorten the audio to the slide, and I assigned a tip action to be grouped in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I must now separate adjust, regroup, then reset the advanced action by using the name of the new group. It's frustrating and tedious.

  To enlarge and view the items grouped on the timeline, you need to click the arrow next to the group name. Once you develop, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.

  

  Alternatively, you can select the individual object in the Group on the slide and adjust the timing of the accordion of timing. You can do it without separate.

• Not able to apply the filter on certain groups of OBIEE integrated with EBS

  Hello
  
  We have integrated with EBS OBIEE. There are some pre configured in OBIEE RPD groups. These groups are all members of the Group GL safety rules. I applied the filter of some safety GL group business model... But are not filtering data for certain groups. For the rest of the groups it works fine.
  
  I applied after filter on table GL Business logical area. (VALUEOF (NQ_SESSION. ("" EBS_BUSINESS_AREA_FULL ") = 'X' OR Core. "Dim - GL business district '." "' Level 20 business code" = VALUEOF (NQ_SESSION. (("" EBS_BUSINESS_AREA "))
  
  But this filter does not work for the following groups
  (1) OBI Budget content Global Support
  OBI 2 overall content power user)
  
  While it works very well for the following groups
  (1) OBI UK broadcast finance.
  Director of finance 2) OBI UK broadcast.
  
  I'm new to EBS. If someone can explain how the EBS group are mapped with RPD OBIEE groups and how the security is implemneted then it will be a great help.

  Hi Sandeep,

  You mean in Oracle eBS? That it would be something like this;

  Select user_id fur.user_name
  user_name fur.description
  rsp.responsibility_name
  rsp.description responsibility_description
  of apps.fnd_responsibility_vl RER
  apps.fnd_user_resp_groups furg
  applsys.fnd_user fur
  where rsp.responsibility_id = furg.responsibility_id
  and furg.user_id = fur.user_id
  and fur.user_name like nvl(:p_user_id,'%')
  and rsp.responsibility_name like nvl(:p_resp_name,'%')
  and furg.end_date is null
  order of rsp.responsibility_name;

  If you mean for Oracle BI EE, check the repository via Manager, security.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck

• The inclination of a grouped object

  I feel pretty special asking this but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Trying to tilt a logo to match the perspective of an illustrated box and I use free transform to try to skew it and all of it is letting me do to scale or rotate the object. I tried to add a rectangular path around it to see if I could use him either but that no longer works? Now the CTRL or ALT key doesn't let me do it anymore.

  Nevermind I figured it. I knew there must be something simple. I was not hanging out until I held the Ctrl key PRESSED. I hate it when these things drive me crazy.

  Thank you!

• mask effects try to blur the subject ruins my own video of the clip implements fuzzy?

  What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

  For now, I'll assume you use first elements 12 on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

  I did not care Video Filter, but if I apply fx effects/Advanced adjustments/mixer for the selected

  clip (my attempt to the video filter Neat counterpart) and then aim for Clip Menu/effects of mask, the minute

  I hit apply, the clip lose the channel mixer effect.

  So far, I tried a few variations but the one that works for me right now regarding what you are looking for

  is

  a. apply the video filter neat on your clip.

  b. export this clip of chronology in a format compatible with the project.

  c. re-import the clip in the project and then apply the mask the effects of

  which you apply the Gaussian blur effect.

  I'm going to explore other ideas shortly.

  I'm not sure of what you see when you wrote

  I used the CAP in the clip. When I try to use a mask the effects of blur me out of the interview he then places the noise reduction in the mask of the effects too.

  Please check out my blog on all the mask effects

  First Elements ATR troubleshooting: PE: effects of mask

  Then you can go back in the way of a solution/solution to your specific problem. If necessary, I will download

  and install the video filter for my tests.

  Thank you.

• apply a clipping for each top-level group mask in the document

  Sample file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEoJSYDhH_WcXhIalFRTk9qOGc/view?usp=sharing

  We can assume:

  Art • grouped on configurations with a line called die.

  • All groups exist on "Layer 1"

  I am a loop in groups and work with groups who has relatives is "layer". I have to loop through all the groups in the document, but when I created the clipping mask creates a new group and live my loop. I am now a loop only in groups of "Layer 1"and moving them to a new layer before the clipping mask. My script is breaking after the Group has been moved to the new layer. I have a bunch of alerts in there for debugging.

  Inside of my plu script that it breaks in silence, in this example script is for me a 'no such item. There should be such an element, I just put there. Once the script completes, the Group has been moved, which means that the named path is right where it should be.

  Let's see if this works:

• How to create an object full of objects without the clipping masks

  Hello!

  I wanted to ask that I saw a lot of vectors on fotolia and shutterstock like this

  

  It is a typical example. world map with diamond. As you can see that there is no clipping mask, but all objects are in the perfect location. It is any script or any plugin or a tip or some way to easily create for these works.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You need the world map

  Then object > mosaic to create objects.

  Ungroup

  Remove all the white squares

  Their color randomly (there are scripts to achieve this on Wundes.com)

  Then object > transform > transform each: rotate 45 °

  Once again object > transform > transform each: scale and select a "random".

  Select some of them and change fill and stroke

  Select them all and reduce the opacity

• What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer?  I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him.  Yet to learn...

  What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer?  I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him.  Yet to learn...

  When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

• How to apply a clipping mask to this image?

  bit.LY/1VM6deh - please help! I created this image in Illustrator, but can't apply a clipping mask. I thought that I converted paths to an object. I only objected to feature of contour - path. I have also grouped objects.

  Consolidation is not sufficint.

  You need to combine them using the Pathfinder palette.

• Making objects in a compound path then the clip

  Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to Java and Illustrator, so any help would be appreciated.

  I'm trying to set up a script that will retrieve a group of objects and turn them into a compound path, and then apply a clipping for the trace mask and the next group to the layer.

  for this snippet, I typed the letter 'o', he described and separated with a unique path, then I drew a narrow rectangle through the O, no line, black fill. The rectangle selected, run the script

  var idoc = app.activeDocument;
  var cp = idoc.compoundPathItems[0]; // the topmost existing compound path
  var sel = idoc.selection[0]; // select the path you wish to add to the existing compound path
  
  sel.move (cp, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move selected path inside the compound path
  sel.evenodd = true; // necessary to determine "insideness" or to make holes.
  

• A tap above an object can be used to make the clip through the object?

  A tap above an object can be used to make the clip through the object?  So that transparency can see through the object.
  

  
  

  I have a square that has a line above it.  I would like to see the transparent background behind the square in the area occupied by STROKE. Example below:

  

  I would like the white area (which was created using the Brush tool and applying a stroke) to display the transparent background behind the red square - or whatever that fall behind the place.

  
  

  I have read and tried many tutorials and suggestions on the forum without success. (Group of knockouts, mask opacity, etc...)  I even created a much simpler red square with an accident stroke by default and still unable to get transparency through red square.

  
  

  I'm probably just missing something.
  

  
  

  Is this possible using a stoke?  Anyone able to help?

  
  

  Thank you

• Apply a clipping mask for an item that's envelope distort?

  I'm creating a logo for a uni project.

  I created my logo in black and white, is simply a word that I have envelope deformed in a circle.

  I now want to apply a clipping mask to give it a gold leaf effect, it works when I do normal typed text but not in my text that had been published.

  Can someone tell me if it is possible to create a clipping with gold leaf mask, when I distorted the text already?

  When I apply the envelope distort after the clipping mask, it does not give me the same results...

  k,

  You can object > envelope distort > Expand, then use it as the clipping to the clipping mask.

• Help to recreate the effect of shadow cast by the clipping mask

  Is there a few months, I created the image attached. Today, for the life of me I can not create a similar effect, where the shadow text source the clipping mask. Whenever I try to follow the same steps and the layer styles, that I get a normal black shadow not a shade that comes from the clipping mask as in my example. Help please I'm driving myself crazy!

  
  

  If you put the layer containing the shadow applied to a smart object the clipping mask will be applied to the shadow as well. Right click-> Convert to smart object

• How to cut the text of a group of Clip?

  Hello

  I am very new to Illustrator, I appreciate any help you could give me.  I use Illustrator CC.  I created a form composed and then used as a mask to cut out an image for the form so that the vector image is the context in which the form I created.  Now I have the text on parts of the form, and I would like to cut the text of the compound shape.  That is a hole through the object in the form of the text.  Also, I should probably note that the object I want to cut the text on is considered as a' Clip' in the layers panel.

  I tried a number of different options that I found on the forums, etc, but none seems not to work.  So far I have tried:

  1. conversion of the type of a sketch, then selecting the Clip group and type and then by a compound path.  The result: a startup error "cannot make a compound path.  A compound path is unable to combine with a regular path clipping mask. »

  2 Select the type and the Group of Clip and then using much less prominent in the Pathfinder Panel.  Result: An error message stating "the filter yielded no results.  Please select two paths that intersect. »

  3 select the type and the value at 0% transparency in the transparency Panel then selected the type and group of Clip and then tried the difference and Exclusion.  Result: Nothing, but transparent type.

  I enclose a photo of the object and the text I want to cut him and also the layers panel.

  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

  Thank you

  Michelle,

  What happens if you go back to the objects in the first picture with the direct Type and:

  (1) select all instances of three Type and group them.

  (2) select the Group Type and group in the flyout palette (Panel) transparency and Clip click the opacity mask making with Clip and mask Invert unchecked (if this sounds wrong to change these options, it should work with those when you have black Type)?
