Best way to create a plugin/extension that manipulates meshes (MeshItems)?

Hi guys,.

I have to develop a plugin/extension that is able to manipulate meshes (MeshItems) (add/delete points/anchors, extrude lines,...) in Illustrator CC 2015.

After some research, I realized that it was impossible to do with the new extension method (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) because the scripts do not have access to the details of meshes.

I have concluded that I must develop my plugin in C++, using the Illustrator CC 2015 software development kit.

Before going any further in the wonderful land of C++ (as a c# developer, I'm afraid to do destructive and reuse pointers ), I would be sure that:

(1) it is a solution and it is the only how to do?

(2) otherwise, what alternatives could I use?

See you soon!

Fred

Instead of reinventing the wheel, why don't you simply contact people of executioner Mesh with this list? They might even be thankful for proposals on how to improve the tool.

Also: some of them wouldn't be possible at all, and some may already be possible with tourmentor Mesh.

It's a bit difficult to understand without actually seeing an example.

  • Simple table - best way to create in the Muse?

    Hello

    I want to insert a simple table into a page in Muse.  This is an Excel spreadsheet with 6 rows and 4 columns.  It seems that I can select the cells in Excel, copy and paste in Muse.  I can also create the table directly in Muse using text boxes with striped borders - easy since my table is so small.  I read the posts here on the use of object and place, but I don't know that I need it.  I didn't need the ability to modify the data of Muse.

    My question is this: what is the best way to create a simple table in Muse?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This really depends on your preferences as well as the specific features of the table that you want to create. In your case, because the table is simple and does not need to be edited, it may be more simple create the table using text boxes and stroked the borders in muse (as you already have) you don't need to use more than one program.

    However, have you ever needed the ability to modify your tables, your best bet is to integrate the HTML code in Muse. You can do this with a table in Excel:

    Or create the table using a HTML generator:

    No option requires no knowledge of HTML. I hope this helps!

  • What is the best way to create the USER variable in BI applications?

    I just installled BI Apps and try to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11 g

    We have the USER variable that is already defined in the RPD to BI applications.

    In the security context init EBS block, I need to set the USER variable, but when I would define it it... He said * 'USER' has already been defined in the variable "authentication." "" USER. "

    What is the best way to create the variable USER security context of EBS init block?

    (1) remove the existing USER variable and then set a new (in this case, all the places where the variable USER is getting used to the RPD would become < missing >)
    And told me that he shouldn't do.

    Let me know how it is possible.

    Thank you

    Disable the existing Init block and then double-click the USER variable and press NEW to create the new Init block

  • The best way to create by lining up the points Leader?

    What is the best way to create alignment of points leader? I want to create the following:

    align leaders.jpg

    I created this by typing the material on the left, then the right material, and then return to tapping period tab, tab period, period of the tab, as needed to fill the space between the two. It is very good. And if I want the spacing of the points to be different, I can do it in advance and get the spacing I want. BUT I can not easily change anything. If I change the material to the left or right to make it longer or shorter, it messes up the points and I need to correct by hand. Even if I change the tab spacing. Is there a way to do so that I don't have to type each point individually, and that if I change everything adjusts accordingly?

    You can even select just the tab and increase your follow up to 600 for the effect of spaced points of leader. (Period and word used as the Fill tab space)

  • Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

    Hello

    I'm just after the best method to create a pdf document that got charts?

    I have an order form which must be converted to an editable pdf form that users can fill in electronically and email back. Currently, the document is in Excel, and while I can convert it to PDF, I prefer to create the whole thing using the PDF.

    Should what tools I use for this?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    PDF files should not be created from scratch and if you try to do you will soon discover that it is extremely difficult and heavy.

    Stick with the creation of the file in Excel (or any other similar application, such as Word, InDesign, etc.) and then convert to PDF and add form fields in Acrobat.

    Be sure to keep a copy of the Excel file, well, in case you need to make any changes to the layout of the file later.

    If you don't do this then you can order replace Pages use in Acrobat to insert new pages (static) on the 'old' in your PDF file, that will keep all the form fields and scripts of tact. You need to just adjust the locations or the size of the fields, where this is necessary.

  • Best way to create an effect of 'type '.

    Hi guys again.

    I was wondering what you all thought was the best way to create an effect as if the text was "typed" on the screen (e.g. text 1 letter at a time, not as a single block)?

    I considered creating an array containing each letter had to be typed, then using a timer to display each letter in turn... but this seems rather ineffective, is there a better way to go about this?

    Cheers for your help

    You don't need to create a table, simply use a string and walk your way through it a charAt() both.

  • What is the best way to create a custom Windows XP slipstreamed CD so that I can install fees and be perfectly up-to-date on security updates at the end of the installation?

    I have Windows XP SP3 OEM CD. I want to use to create a 'new' Windows XP OEM CD slipstreamed which would include at each update published security for XP since Service Pack 3. After researching this project for a bit, I noticed that an unholy amount of security updates have been released since Service Pack 3. My main question is how can I get all these security updates without having to monotonous download each individually? Or is this the only way? Is there a website that is legitimate and can be trusted who was respected and compressed these updates of security in a single file that can be downloaded? How can I incorporate these security updates? It is even possible to integrate these security updates or would they simply be performed one after the other during the installation of Windows XP?

  • Best way to create bookmarks

    I am converting a 70 + to LiveCycle Designer 9.0.0.2 page contract model and would accomplish permanent bookmarks created when users open the form in Adobe.  Using information from this link, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4013698, I am able to set the initial view to open the Panel showing bookmarks.  Currently, am finishing still the master form, then when I re - open in LiveCycle, this setting disappears.  Once finished with the form, get the initial view.  Even with bookmarks. Can I create a bookmark of materials for the contract, but if I open in LiveCycle to change the content, I have to re - create the list of bookmarks in Adobe again.

    Is there a way to do what bookmarks will remain?  Have read and downloaded examples showing how to create them using XML, but not quite there to understand how to implement.

    Also, is it possible to keep so printed bookmarks to PDF?  In some cases the final version of the document will be printed in PDF format so they can also use the Comment/Markup feature in Adobe.  Even if I enabled form for Reader Extensions (we use the professional version - reader is for some remote users), am not able to use the features of mark-up/comment in Adobe or on add/remove pages until it is printed to PDF and is more a form of LiveCycle.  If there is something I'm missing here, would appreciate any advice, as printing to PDF is not the best option to achieve this functionality, as it loses other important features.

    The form is moved from Word to LiveCycle because it contains several sections with restarted page numbers, etc.  Use multiple master pages in LiveCycle to handle this, and it works well.  In Word, it is too easy for someone to accidentally remove a section break and spoil the numbering, headers/footers, etc.  So am hoping to overcome the problems with LiveCycle.  Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    XFA form bookmarks where intoduced with LiveCycle ES3 (10.x) (also knows as ADEP) and there seems to be no way to create bookmarks in a previous version.

    The macro in bookmark in the thread you mentioned is designed for ES3 or higher.

    It can propably job in ES2, but is not guaranteed as in ES2 macro API was a unofficical, a feature not documented with some limitations and methods that at least in the official version.

    The macro will add an element of options for each object you want to create a bookmark for.

    
             My Bookmark
             0,0,0
             normal
             setFocus
          
    

    This element options will be reinterpreted as a bookmark of the PDF Viewer, but for forms ES2 manufactured XFA it simply does not work (no idea why).

    You must use a newer version of designer, to use these features of bookmark.

  • Best way to create a variation of a FCP project

    I have a two hour video that I created in Final Cut 6. It's a pretty complex video, with lots of movement today, I want to make a shorter version of the same video, without altering or modifying the original video.

    I'm trying to understand the best way to do it.

    It would be better to make a copy of the original video and edit this copy in a shorter version of the original, or would it be better to create a new sequence in the initial project and build the new shorter version within this sequence?

    I don't want to confuse or overloading the PCF.

    Duplicate the sequence... and make your stripes and cut downs from there. No need to rebuild.
