Does anyone know how to draw along a path of a spiral? Lets say that I start with a spiral and then I want a path that is exactly one centimetre of the original track from start to finish.

So, I need to create a spiral which is a cross between the linear spiral and the normal spiral. I try to be five lines just as far away from each other, but would be akin to the way a spiral looks when you use the spiral tool. I'm trying to create a piece of graphic notation (music). I'm at roughly the research to create the same thing that composer George Crumb created with his piece "Spiral galaxy", if you google you will see what I mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Derek,

To complete what Chantal, assuming that the 1 cm is the total width covered by 5 lines:

(A) if the original form of the spiral should be in the Center (the center one):

A1 object) > path > Offset path 0,5 cm (5 mm);

This will give you an a path closed;

Deselect a2) and with the direct Selection tool ShiftClick, both end of path segments and remove them;

This will give you a path offset on each side as well as the original;

A3) object > blend > blend Options set spacing of the steps specified in the step 1.

A4) select all the paths and the object > blend > make.

You can object > blend > Expand to have real paths if you wish.

(B) if the original form of the spiral must be in one of the sides (the exterior or interior):

B1) object > path > Offset path 1 cm (10 mm);

This will give you an a path closed;

Deselect B2) and with the direct Selection tool ShiftClick, both end of path segments and remove them;

This will give you a path offset on each side;

B3) remove that unwanted/useless.

This will leave you with the desired offset path and the original;

Object of a4) > blend > blend Options set spacing of steps specified with 3 stages;

A4) select all the paths and the object > blend > make.

You can object > blend > Expand to have real paths if you wish.

    There is no such control in PDF Forms. You will need to develop yourself

    If you wish to have. I suggest just using a text field with keys + /

    instead. It will save you a lot of headaches...

  • Does anyone know how to fix a problem of calculation in a pdf file that is a financial spreadsheet?

    Currently I have a financial spreadsheet I had to create for my work.  One of the cells does not calculate correctly.  I need for the cell to use calculation Total - Total balance = balance.  I used abbreviations in the cell itself to the formula so I know this isn't the problem.  The poor figures will calculate in the cell.  I find that I have to delete the wrong number, and then in another cell.  Once I click in another cell that will fill out the right balance.  I would be fine with that, but my boss is not ok with having to perform additional steps.  Can someone help me?

    It sounds like a problem of calculation of field command. Access the form Edit mode - calculation order of field tasks - more - and make sure that the field of the Balance is under the other two fields in the list.

  • Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?

    Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?  I have this stupid Windows 8 and so far I only have PowerDVD. But I also have windows media player.  I am trying to get Windows Media Player to access the DVD that I used for Windows 7, but whenever I stick one in this computer stupid, by default it starts to Power DVD.

    According to the power dvd faq: "the limit is in accordance with the requirements specified by the major movie studios. PowerDVD allows you to change the codes of the region up to 5 times (also depending on your DVD player) and then automatically record fifth region code setting. Subsequently, you can only play DVD titles in the fifth code region or non - CSS all regions DVD titles. Area code will remain locked even if you reinstall PowerDVD. »

    Is there by chance a legal way around this? I wish I could watch my DVDs on my laptop when I want without locking on my other. I don't do anything illegal as piracy of DVDs, I just want to be able to watch them. Could someone please? Thanks in advance.

    Use another program like VLC player or Potplayer.

    Otherwise, you will have to Flash a hack of firmware for this DVD region
