can someone explain or justify this?

x = App.activeDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits

Result: PICAS

So far so good.  Just to be sure...

x.toString)

Result: PICAS

now

x + x

Result: 4108374726

huh?

x + x.ToString)

Result: 2054187363PICAS

and finally

"the units are"+ x"

Result: the units are 2054187363

I guess that there is an explanation why the units of measurement to picas is secretly associated

with the whole 2054187363 and why it is a good idea.

Hi all

Here are additional details on the enumeration and the enumerator for objects in CS5 and later versions:

    Hello, when I look at this code, I do not understand a code, can someone explain this code?
    Thank you very much!!!

    The creation of a 'method' for a vector object (in the old style of class definition), which gives it a method with an argument in degrees rotate.

    It replaces the vector existing x and properties of y (in the part "with (this)" code) based on the angle that was passed.

  • Can someone explain to me why XP sometimes creates a double XP profile.

    Can someone explain to me why XP sometimes creates a double XP profile. For example Neo (domain)?

    Hello

    1. is the computer connected to the domain?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    This behavior can occur if the user profile was deleted manually using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1 delete the profile by using the computer properties dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, right click my computerand then click Properties.

    b. click on change settings.

    c. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    d. under user profiles, click settings.

    e. in the user profiles dialog box, select the profile that you want to remove, click Remove, and then click OK.

    2. click on Start, type regedit in the box Start Search and press ENTER.

    3. Locate, and then expand the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    4 right-click the SID that you want to remove and then click Remove.

    5 log on to the computer and create a new profile.


    Important
    this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/) how to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

    Take a look at the graphics class, it offers all the methods that you can use it.

    for a very simple approach, use graphics.drawText ("your text", 0, y)

    This will cause 'your text' in all the lines of the field.

  • Can someone explain what are installation OS (C :) and a WinRE (r), and what are their functions?)

    Hi I do not know if I put in the correct title apologetic information if I don't.

    Can someone explain what are installation OS (C :) and a WinRE (r), and what are their functions?)

    I am not computer savvy and need help.

    The first has a red bar almost at the end of the box, the latter has a blue bar around to halfway along the area. Hope I gave enough information that someone explain it to me. Thank you.

    caz59

    Original title: hard drives

    The c: drive is where Windows is installed and is running from. The red bar indicates that the disk is full. You will need to do a cleaning to clean the computer and free urgent enough disk space. It may be more prudent to get some hands on assistance with this.

    WinRE is synonymous with the Windows recovery environment and contains an image of the computer, such as provided by the manufacturer. There will be a procedure to cross, which depends on the manufacturer as to what it is. The blue bar indicates there is little space left on the drive though use it to store files may stop the recovery process of work.

  • Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have suddenly stopped working?

    Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have stopped responding? I checked that Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers mode live view and they do not work here either. It was fine a few weeks ago that it's almost as if the web browsers stopped tearing Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not yet recognized as links.

    I use 'old' on Dreamweaver CS4 spry assets (if that makes a difference). Active Spry tabbed panels are removable panels.

    Thanks for your help.

    Manufacturers should come after the library. In other words, you have moved libraries below links

    
    

    Move high to the bottom of your page and everything is fine.

    This brings me to ask why you do not use SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup as in Spry/SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup.html to the adobe/Spry master · GitHub
