Fastest way to cut a group of objects with less before?

I copy the object used for cutting, paste in front of each object and use less front several times for all objects that is not a great fun for a larger group of objects. Is there a faster way?

Draw a straight line where you want the cut to be.

Keep it selected, then object > path > divide objects below.

This works pretty well on most things, but you will need to make a few adjustments special if they are filled and the contours of objects that need to be divided.

Otherwise you will get the features along the demarcation line.

  • Best way to cut the Texture of the graphic Logo?

    Hello. Can someone please advise me on the best way to CUT a texture of a chart AND be able to continue to use mutiple on new graphics colors? For more precisely illustrate my question/problem, here are the steps I took:

    (1) that I created a graph of the card as shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.22.27 PM.png

    (2) I was able to cut a form of illustration of the map grid, using the tools of pathfinder. As shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.17.55 PM.png

    (3) I then found a texture I want cut in graphic design that I just created. Since it is a logo, I need the texture is actually cutting the shape, not only sitting above it like a layer of white color. As seen here, this is what the graph of the card looks like with the layer of texture on top of it.

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.12.10 PM.png

    (4) the only way I know, cookie cut the graphics card with the new texture is to hold the "alt/command" key while supporting on the "before" option in the tools of pathfinder palette. The only problem is that when I do that, a compound path is created, which converts the entire chart in one colour as shown here:

    Screen Shot 2012-09-16 at 10.37.49 PM.png

    I need the graphics to be the original 4-color. The strange thing is I could cut the world lines of the grid on the layers in the map very well (and still capable of changing color), but now I can't when I'm cutting the texture of the entire chart.

    Summary: can someone please tell me how to make the graph below. I need to texture is the cutting of the graph. The only way I can understand to the punch the texture of the image is to create a compound path using the pathfinder tool. This leaves me with a form of cutting correct that I'm looking for, but while Brown and with no opportunity to change the graphic back 4 original colors.

    Illustrator is hard enough without making it even more.

    It is a very simple step operation 4-5:

    • (1) make your graph of multicolor globe on a new layer. You 'can' block if your next layer becomes difficult to choose things.
    • (2) another new layer above the globe and create your lines of longitude/latitude and "texture." You can use white or black lines/texture, but one or the other. Select and group when you are finished. Suggestion: Make sure that all items are a unique, and no nested group.
    • (3) now, select your multicolor globe and groups of lines/texture "knockout" and in the transparency Panel, choose "make opacity mask". Depending on whether you used white or black, you may need to check "Invert mask" or "Clip".
    • (4) now... all you have to do to complete the chart so that it is a vector of 'real' with holes where a background should be apparent, as a "transparent vector trace" only (no need of masks), is: Menu-> object-> flatten transparency. In the dialog box choose: 100 vector, convert all the traits of contours and preserve Alpha transparency.
    • (5) Optional: you can ungroup the globe or the graphics and little cleaning, like throwing it to remove the useless way of 'group '. You can do it from the Panel layers as well.

    View, you don't need to select and recolor anything, because this method retains the previous colors, including transparency is now "flattened" and allows you to fine-tune the mix of color by itself.

    Post edited by: DocPixel-BMW - added layer "lock down" just in case there is a question why, regarding the creation of the separate layers.

  • Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Our school district recently upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC - in the past, we have disabled the plugin IE via GPO for Internet Explorer - manage ad - ons with the class ID of the ad-on/plugin

    The class ID is the same on computers {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}, and the object GPO is applied and turns off the plugin

    result with the new version - PDF opens in Internet explore - it is a problem for a lot of reason / especially we have many applications that require the full version and we have seen a lot of reports being pulled from IIS based sites that fail to print.

    It works if I disable the GPO and manually disable the plugin.

    That is the question

    Is there a way to disable the ad-on/plugin for IE centrally from an IT management perspective?

    While what you do must have worked, you can try these: create one of the following keys:

    1.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\15.0\Originals]

    "bBrowserIntegration" = DWORD: 00000000

    2.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\ {CA8A9780-280D-1 1See-A24D-444553540000}]

    (just to create the key is sufficient)

  • Rotation at random one group of objects but binding at certain angles

    Hi all

    I'm looking to rotate a group of objects randomly, but limiting the rotation for just the right angles (90 °, 180 °, 270 °, 360 °).

    Is there a native way to do this? I don't think that there is - if there is a plugin that can do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    What you can do:

    There are random selection scripts that will choose randomly the existing objects.

    Selection of random items

    Then, there are replacement scripts that will replace the selected objects:

    Kelso cartography

    All you have to do is to have your loan of objects rotated made for replacement. Then randomly choose existing ones and replace.

    In this case to re-create the random objects is OK, try the ColliderScribe plugin, which has a mode of distribution. You can prepare a few objects and let the plugin distirbute them on a given area.

  • How to get the default rotation tool locate the pivot point in the exact Center of an object or a group of objects?

    My new copy of the CC the default pivot set to one side, rather than at the center point. I know I can manually move the autour pivot point, but this is not always accurate. Is there a way to have HAVE determine exactly at the Center and then do this by default?

    Pivot the tool rotation default to the center of objects and the text box (frame). For text of Point, it is by default the anchor of the line base, and for a group of Point text objects, or multi-selction defaults to the geometric center of an invisible shape formed by the collective reference anchors.

    And you are right, that the setting of Center in the attributes Panel is not available for text of Point, single or multiple objects.

    I don't have an idea for your particular workflow needs, but if I really need to turn a group of objects text around its Center Point, I could do this:

    1. Select the group, and copy
    2. Paste in front
    3. Vectorize
    4. Select the converted objects and text objects group, then select the rotation tool and the pivot will be by default the Center (of the converted objects)
    5. After turning, remove the converted objects.
  • Application of effects to the Group of objects in a floating frame - fail.

    Hi, I do not know if someone has encountered this... I have a group of images (rating music, so black on white in fact) in a floating frame.

    I have a textured background, and I want to knock out the white in the pictures to let the background show through. Effect of obscuring should work, and on "static" images (not in a scrolling frame), it is very good. But I tried to apply the effect to the framework itself; in the Group of objects; the individual objects. All the methods of good air in InDesign, but when previewing the content viewer, I can see the effect didn't, uh, indeed. This project is directed to iOS, and I'm assuming that the content viewer gives a fairly accurate glimpse?

    And I don't want to get into the clipping paths or alpha channels, but if there is a better way to knock out white, I would be very grateful for the entry. Screenshots show (left), InDesign Content Viewer (right). Thank you very much!

  • an easy... How to add States to a group of objects?

    Lets say I have a group of objects. I have a band with a text and a picture. How can I put States for this group? because the States are activated only when the selection of objects within the group.

    Hello

    You can use any widget to do this and insert objects, in this way, you can apply the reports based on the objects.

    We cannot apply States to regroup, but the selected objects, as well as in the example you mentioned, use any widget as ToolTip where you can insert image so text and then apply the States.

  • Group of objects added with JDAPI webutil - adjust the block webutil sequence?

    Hi all

    I use the JDAPI to the subclass in the Group of objects webutil in forms in an application. Annoyingly, the webutil block becomes the first block on the form - which means on some forms is displayed at startup. Is anyway (programming using JDAPI) that I can move the block to the end of the red list after that I have a subclass in the Group of the object?

    TIA
    Steve

    Hello

    move

    Sub move (JdapiObject nextObject)

    Rearranges an object with respect to its siblings in the collection it belongs. This is similar to by dragging and dropping in the form of movement of a block Builder in a list. This method is a way to do the same thing programmatically. By example, if you want a block appear immediately before Block5 in a list, you pass the object representing Block5 nextObject argument.

    Pass NULL to this method to move the object to the end of the list. If the specified object and the next_object do not share the same owner, or do not have the same type, the method throws an exception.

    You cannot use this method to move objects between the parents. For example, it cannot be used to move an element from one block to the next. If you want to move an object from one parent to the other, you will have to do something like:

    to be positioned before 'itmB' bulk 'itmA'
    "blkB" (when "itmA" is in another block)

    Copy itmA in a new parent (blkB) using the same name
    Element newItmA = itmA.clone (blkB, itmA.getName ());
    newItmA.move (itmB); move a new element compared to itmB
    itmA.destroy (); Delete the original object
    itmA = newItmA;

    Parameters:
    nextObject - the object that the object specified must be moved.
    Throws:
    JdapiException - if you try to move an object next to an object that does not share the same owner or not is not of the same type.

  • Option of range & ASA 5510 - a group of objects

    Hello

    I have 3 ASA 5510 s; two of them are in production and the 3rd is new. I inherited two in production and was trying to set up this 3rd by using some of the existing network object-group statements.  The problem is that when I try to create a range of IP addresses in one of the groups of object; the range command is not available. One of the extracted statements from one of the ASAs production: network of the REMOTE object
    range 62.77.130.14 62.77.130.208

    The two ASAs have the same image of worm (asa842-k8).  Is there something I'm missing to enable the option in the range on the ASA News?

    Thanks in advance,

    ~ sK

    Hello

    Are you sure that the ASA News started the new 8.4 (2) software?

    There are

    • object-group network

      • accepts networks and addresses of host under it
    • network of the object
      • accept addresses from subnet, range and host under it

    Configuring "network object" came available in 8.3 software. Before that in the software 8.2 and earlier than the 'object-group network' (and other types of groups of objects") exist.

    Maybe you have several images start on the ASA News and its actually the old software still boot?

    What does the ' running shoe see the?

    If it lists both the command for old and new software then delete the old "system start" command, save the configuration and restart.

    I hope that the above information was useful

  • How to create a group of objects

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help me in the use of ObjectGroup because I found some documentation on this topic.

    The scenario is the following, I have a Persistable objects vector. And I want to add to the Group of objects. So what should I put in the "ObjectGroup.createGroup (?)", it is the purpose of peristable? or the vector itself?

    code snippet:

    store the final PersistentObject private;

    vector data private;

    public void addData (vector obj) {}

    synchronized (store) {}

    ObjectGroup.createGroup (obj);

    data.addElement (obj);

    Store.Commit ();

    }

    }

    Thank you very much!

    There is a "ObjectGrouping" example comes with JDE.

  • Something similar to groups of objects, but for the ports? (must be used on an ACL)

    Hello community!

    I'm fairly new, when it comes to firewalls, but I have some experience with routers and switches, so I'm not completely lost.

    Practically, we all know that a group object is a large bucket to throw things and then managing them as a single group, which is very useful for many reasons... so is there something similar that we can use in an ACL for the port?

    Say so, let that I want to allow the following ports:

    • 80
    • 443
    • 25
    • 30500
    • 20500
    • 8080
    • 14600
    • 21
    • 753
    • 22

    And instead of doing something like this:

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 80

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 443

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 25

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 30500

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 20500

    access-list extended dmz_access_in permit tcp host WEB host WEB-EXT eq 8080

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 14600

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 21

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 753

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 22

    do something like:

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host WEB-EXT eq PORT_LIST1

    Thank you!!

    PD: Excuse me if some port above are not TCP, if just one example. I just start typing all the numbers that came to my head.

    Hey Rolando,

    On a SAA, you can combine services and protocols based on the source/destination in an object-group service oriented. Your example would look like this:

     object-group service PORT_LIST1 service-object tcp destination range 21 22 service-object tcp destination eq 25 service-object tcp destination eq 80 service-object tcp destination eq 443 service-object tcp destination eq 753 service-object tcp destination eq 8080 service-object tcp-udp destination eq 14600 service-object tcp destination eq 20500 service-object tcp destination eq 30500

    You can create also integrate groups:

     object-group service WEB_PORTS service-object tcp destination eq 80 service-object tcp destination eq 443 object-group service PORT_LIST1 group-object WEB_PORTS service-object ...

    This type of group is going where the Protocol is specified in the ACL:

     access-list dmz_access_in extended permit object-group PORT_LIST1 object HOST object EXT-WEB
