Change all paths in a layer without using a layer appearance attribute

I suspect I did it wrong for a while, but I don't know how to do it right.

If I want to change the appearance of all paths in a layer (say, something simple to change their line color), it is pretty easy to target in the layer by clicking on the button of the target layer. However, when I do change (as outline in orange color setting), it appears in the appearance of the layer itself - each element within the layer are not orange line directly in their appearance attributes, they just inherit the appearance of the layer attributes.

I understand that this is the intended behavior, but I found that it's easier for me to avoid the layer effects and have just each element in a layer to be autonomous and show all its own attributes of appearance without something inheriting from the upper layer (I tend to forget and be confused about when they appear). However, I don't know how to force the appearance of a layer down to its subcomponents (likely the compensation of the appearance of the layer to avoid duplication). Is it some commands I'm missing?

Now how I do it, it's all in the layer by using the layer target, then UN-target target the highest member of the layer. This allows me to change the appearance of all items in the layer (except the one at the top) without changing the appearance of the layer itself. Then I do the top separately. Seems kludgier than she should be. Any help? Thank you.

tqrtuomo, I was confused by the present, sometimes as well and made the same thing you describe. I think the key, when selecting on a given layer or group is to click on the 'right' of the 'Target' button in the layers panel to the layer/group level. Make sure that there is no 'circle' around the target button or appearance will be assigned to the layer/group.

  • How can I make all my actions run automatically, without dialog boxes that appears after each step?

    My question is in what regards Actions. I have my Options of accelerated reading the value, and I unchecked the option 'Allow Recording tool', but every time I run a certain set of actions, a dialog box is displayed for each step and I have to press return to continue after each step. In my mind, which reduces the value of action in the first place. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thank you very much!

    In the control panel actions are two boxes next to each action. The first is a check mark and the second looks like one of three things: a red box, a gray or an empty box. If they red or grey area is there then the dialog boxes will be displayed. Turning point of this area on 'stop' should fix your problem.

  • With the changes made in the Adobe Acrobat DC he has made things more difficult for me. All I want to do is to rename a file. Used to be simple. Please tell me how to rename a file without using the cloud. I'm not paying for storage when I have an SD card

    Hate the new update.  I need to rename files and cannot do without using the cloud.  Could not sign in the cloud free services.  Someone knows how to rename the files with Adobe Acrobat DC? I use a HD with Android corner.

    Do you have any file manager installed on your device? This feature is no longer available in the latest version of Acrobat DC but we actively seek to provide the same in one of our future releases. To work around the problem, you will need to duplicate/rename the files using a third-party file manager application.

  • Why Firefox 31 change all icons PDF and open in browser, require a fix by using REGEDIT to set for all USERS on a computer?

    The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my problem with PDF files on more than 30 computers with multiple users on each computer:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1013642

    But I need to fix for all users on a computer without logging on each account on each computer. My challenge was to log on as an administrator and change the following key of the overall system instead:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.PDF

    Name: by default
    Type: Reg_SZ
    Data: FirefoxHtm

    Changed FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11 data

    I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro 64-bit machines.
    The problem started when I ran a file downloaded to install the new version of Firefox on computers.

    Why Firefox would require me to use REGEDIT in this way to solve the problem?

    This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application PDF file handles.

  • How replicates all records from one table to another table without using expdp, impdp

    Hi I have two database in a database, that I have a table called t1 and another base data, I have the second table .so, my first table have records, that I need to transfer all records second T2 without use of expdp and impdp in every 5 min... what I do

    ??

    The best solution for this scenario is to use Oracle Golden Gate

    However, it requires a license, and you must pay for it.

    If this is not possible, you can create a job scheduler that uses a link DB in order to reproduce the recordings of the target database, but it will take the entire table to the target database and then INSERT AS SELECT truncate the data of the entire table every time that the job is running (because you can't follow only the records that have been changed or modified).

    In addition, read here on the replication of data using materialized views.

  • Make a group without selection of all paths

    I'm working on a script that will take each pathItem in a document and put it in a group (all pathItems in the document are groupless opening, so there won't be other groups already in the document).

    I have a script that creates a group, and then puts the highest pathItem placed in the group. I just can't figure out how to retrieve all the pathitems in the document, or the same action in a loop until everything is in a single group. The kicker is, as the title suggests this script should work without selecting anything first hand (in other words, after click on an item to select). Now, if there was a way to select all elements with a script that would be great.

    Here's what I have so far:

    #target Illustrator
//based on script from Carlos Canto
var doc = app.activeDocument

if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
doc = app.activeDocument;
newGroupItem = doc.activeLayer.groupItems.add();
}

var gi = doc.groupItems[0]; // the topmost existing group
var all = doc.pathItems[0]; // all paths in document

all.move (gi, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move selected path inside the group
all.evenodd = true; // necessary to determine "insideness" or to make holes.

    I also have what I found here on the forum

    #target Illustrator
// GroupFromSel.jsx
// regards pixxxelschubser 
if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.selection.length > 0) {
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var Sel = aDoc.selection;
    var GroupFromSel = aDoc.groupItems.add();
    for ( i = Sel.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
        Sel[i].moveToBeginning( GroupFromSel )
        }
}

    But alas, you select so two scripts, two solutions possible. I'm just working on both until I can get one to work.

    Any ideas?

    var all = doc.pathItems[0]; // all paths in document

    It's only the highest pathItem, that to change

    var all = doc.pathItems; // all paths in document

    .. .and loop thru 'all' and move each within your group

    #target Illustrator
//based on script from Carlos Canto

if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    var gi = doc.activeLayer.groupItems.add();
    var all = doc.pathItems; // all paths in document

    for (i=0; i

    for this configuration, we will run trouble if you have other groups with pathItems

  • How to hide all paths without widening the palette?

    It is something that I have wondered about for years:

    You know how you can deselect one way 'sex' (for lack of better word) in the palette drawn by clicking in the empty space of the paths palette? What happens if your pallet traced has saved paths as long as there is no space empty to click in? I know that I can just to expand the palette, but I don't want to have to do that, because all my palettes are solidly organized in a giant wall o ' pallets on a second monitor. Is there a way to hide all paths without having to expand the palette to bring up the empty space?

    If it is not currently using a tool running on trails, activate one, for example, press a key. Now, press ESC to untarget all paths.

    Can I connect my HP4625 all in one directly on my ipad/iphone without using a wifi network. ?

    Hi xxtopgunxx,

    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand you want to print from your devices Apple to your printer Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 without the printer is connected to a wireless network.

    It is possible that we can get the printer to disseminate its own network. Please note that the network will broadcast the printer will not have access to the internet.  Please follow the steps below:

    • On the front panel of the printer, please press the wireless button
    • By using the buttons on the right, highlight and select wireless settings
    • Highlight and select Restore Defaults
    • Select Yes. A message appears indicating that the default values of the network have been restored
    • Open your application settings on your Apple device, please
    • Please click on wifi and choose the network that starts with "HP-SETUP.  This should connect to your Apple device to the printer
    • Now you should be able to print using the 'Action' icon.  If there is not a print option when you press the action icon following all guidelines for Apple AirPrint

    If you go to print and your Apple device does not see the network, you will need to follow the procedure again. It should be at least 60 minutes before the HP - Setup network ceased broadcasting.
