Difficulty with the form Pathfinder Modes

I can't understand why I can't "Subtract" a path in a "compound shape" a path in an another "compound shape. I don't know that it must be simple, as I did it with other elements of an object - I'm just trying to avoid a form on a weaker form while I have a transparent background.

Tips greatly appreciated. I am attaching the file as I imagine that there are a few circumstances governing what will and what will not work!

Thank you.

Sorry - I forgot to mention - have CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8

  1. Select all
  2. Object > expand appearance
  3. Object > break down (this allows your shots to stay, Pathfinder does not have strokes)
  4. Pathfinder > merge
  5. Direct selection tool (white arrow) and click on one of the white areas
  6. Select > same > fill & racing
  7. Delete

Strikes and the appearance settings caused the Pathfinder commands to fail. Objects with features often cause unexpected results with Pathfinder. Expanding at all, you eliminate that issue.

  • How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

    I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

    So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

    If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

    I could do (I think): -.

    1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

    2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

    3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

    4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

    5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

    Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

    I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

    Thank you

    You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

    I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

    What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

    1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
    2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

    I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

    And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

    Hello

    Do a clean install of XP with the XP disk provided by Dell, if you.

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm

    If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Dell and ask them to send you a XP disc.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

When I created my forms, I need to leave out the line, one email because my client does not want the message line and two because those who have tried to fill the online form cannot submit because the 'email' box keep rejecting their email address valid.

  • I can create forms in the designer, but when I use a data model, I can't interact with the form

    In LiveCycle Designer ES2 I can create a form and then preview and interact with the form.

    This guess I just build objects by dragging the pieces pre-made object on the form (for example, text field) - which I can name, wrap in subforms something - I can add actions and all is well.  When I preview the PDF, I can enter data in the fields, click on the radio buttons, making things appear that everything is great.

    But LC ES2 is based on the data driven development model by, so in my case I need a form guide as well as the form - so it's better to have a model of data created in the first place - and then create the form based on the data model - then build guide form based on the data model - it is also a good idea, and I'm cool with that.

    My problem is that when I'm building a data model (just for a quick and dirty development demo, not associated with services back-end or databases) and I create the form based on the data model - I can't interact with all objects in the preview pane form - further when I launch the workspace and call my process that contains the form - I even can't interact with the form.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Summons - I can create a form and interact with it - but If I start with a data model and generate the form based on that - I can't interact with the form (option buttons click-I can not enter data in form fields - etc) what causes this?  What should I do to use a data model and be able to create an interactive form? >

    Does anyone know what causes this problem?  It's driving me crazy.

    Thank you-

    Ben

    You do not hurt anuthing. It works as advertised. When you generate a Guide and work with a fml data model designer you will only create a static non-fillable PDF file. This is because when you import the model in the designer of the model must be turned in a schema. The schema may not represent constraints and validations can be encoded in the model. The only thing that can be maintained is the structure, so Designer forbids you to buidl an interactive form.

    If you know what you're doing, you could take the data it is generated from the Guide and merge on a XDP template file that you create (unless he models in a first time - you can use the sample XML data as a starting point) using LC forms. Edowmside, is that if there are constraints and rules you would have to code them in the model as well. That's the way it is now there, but it will improve over time, as more of the ability of the model is exposed to the XFA world.

    Hope that helps

  • Problem with the input query mode. FRM 41009, 40301

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the mode of input query. What can I say, I'm in the mode of input query, and I click on a button. I get the error THAT FRM-41009 displayed.

    Now, I've wanted handled. So I created a trigger of error in order to handle the error.

    IF ERR_CODE = 41009 THEN
    NULL;
    END IF;

    A problem is that when you use the null value, it will not terminate the mode of input query, and then I get frm-40301 error.

    Second, it's that I can't use exit_form in a trigger of the error.

    I am aware that I can press F4 to exit this mode, but I don't want to do whenever I'm sure I'll get the user complaints.

    Another solution would be to put the following code in the trigger when key pressed for each button in the form:

    If: system.mode = "ENTER-QUERY" then
    exit_form;
    end if;

    But I don't want to reproduce this code in my form.

    Please can you give me an idea how to handle this correctly?

    Thank you

    PS: Version of the form = > ORACLE FORMS 10g (Forms [32 bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0)

    I have a problem with the mode of input query. What can I say, I'm in the mode of input query, and I click on a button. I get the error THAT FRM-41009 displayed.

    What is the code in the trigger of your button When-Button-Pressed (WBP)? Maybe you should check to see if the form is in the Mode query in your WBP rather than try and remove the error? In other words, eliminate error - do not delete it. :)

    If you want instead to remove the error, there is a technique to built-ins call restricted to a trigger that does not allow them. Do this by the use of a millisecond zero Timer. For example:

    /* Sample On-Error Trigger */
    DECLARE
      n_err_cd   NUMBER := ERROR_CODE;
      t_on_error TIMER;
      ZERO  NUMBER := 0;
    BEGIN
      IF ( n_err_cd = 41009 ) THEN
        /* Create Timer to execute Exit_Form() */
        /* to Cancel Query-Mode. */
        t_timer := Create_Timer('ON_ERROR', ZERO, NO_REPEAT);
      ELSE
        /* Handle all other errors here... */
      END IF;
    END;
    
    /* Sample When-Timer-Expired Trigger */
    DECLARE
      v_Timer  VARCHAR2(30);
    BEGIN
      v_timer := Get_Application_Property(TIMER_NAME);
    
      IF ( v_timer = 'ON_ERROR' ) THEN
        /* Notice, the timer name is case sensative! */
        Exit_Form;
      END IF;
    END; 
    

    I am aware that I can press F4 to exit this mode, but I don't want to do whenever I'm sure I'll get the user complaints.

    Well, it's just standard features of Oracle Forms. If you switch the Mode request form - you must run a query or cancel the query Mode! This is how it works. Your users need to understand that and accept it - just as they accept the functional also for other programs. ;) Another option would be to add a "Cancel request" button to your form and make it so it is enabled only when the form is placed in Query Mode. Just a thought...

    I personally prefer to prevent the occurrence of an error rather than remove the error. :)
    I hope this helps.

  • FILLING, WHICH IS NOT CUT WITH THE FORM

  • How to use time with the State in MODE Lab machine

    Hello

    I tried to use the state machine with function elapsed time so sequentially, start and stop my code. The arrangement is to start the code for 1 minute then stop for 5 minutes. I have attached the code, the problem is when I place the function elapsed time, exit the while loop it does not, on the other hand when I place it inside the loop it does not work, but it does not give the right signal to move to the next State.

    Could you please take a look at my code and help me solve this problem.

    Ok.. I have modded the example to stop after 2 cycles. Also recommend that you take the free online tutorials of LabVIEW.

    1. run the vi. case statement goes to 'initialize', shift registers are initialized to their constants. GoTo 'wait '.
    2. "start" = false, stay in the current state. If true, switch to the "1 min" case
    3. "Reset timer set off with True of the shift register (counter starts at zero). time elapsed "= false, stay in the current state (1 min). If true, goto "5 min" case
    4. "Reset timer set off with True of the shift from the previous case register (counter starts at zero). time elapsed "= false, stay in the current state (5 min). If true, goto "1 min" case. Also, bool crossing is the search for "true-false" function compares '5 min' to add the number of cycle.
    5. Once the number of cycles reaches 2, stop all loop...

    Thank you

    Not with the method you have chosen to create in the first place. That I is concerned, you create a whole bunch of complex mixtures and other cunning mixture of pixels, not authentic vector objects. That being the case, you can only assign the clipping masks and reproduce the work as many times as necessary. Otherwise, you will need to re - draw devfining from scratch, the first segments and apply fills to maintain the illusion of a contiguous surface...
