Find/replace width size object

Hi guys,.

So here's the problem:

I have a long catalog of over 900 pages and I slightly modified a textframe to options and other styles of object, but bottomline, it is that now I have to change the width of executives of texts related to 62 mm (now 61 mm). «I tried the options of ' object ' find/replace, but I can't find the right way to do it.» It is even possible to do with the object search/replace? I have to change manually linked texts more than 6,000 executives if it doesn't work :/

I have to do it with Grep script and how is this possible if I have to do with it?

Thanks in advance if you answer to this problem!

HA!

I found the solution (ish), basically, it is possible to change the dimensions of the object with the object of "find/replace". Bart Van de Wiele thanks for the trick of "fixed-width columns.

  1. ." Find the Format of the object"-> what type of object style" "you are looking for and then put 'Text block Options'-> width (exp. 55 mm)
  2. "Changing the Format of the object"-> go to "Text frame General Options"-> "columns: fixed width '-> width (exp. 56 mm, I have 3 mm inset spacing left & right 56 + 6 is 62 mm).
  3. Change desired linked text frames, BUT you have this kind of problem where you can't change the sizes of width of executives related because they are "fixed size".
  4. Click on one of the frames of linked text changed and go to 'Options of Style' where you get that "+" - sign. Click on the options 'clear the replacements '.
  5. Now you have changed all you want linked text frames, and you can change the width too.

    Hi all

    I was wondering if anyone can help, I'm trying to make sure that the option "Include Locked layers and objects locked (research only)" on the box search/replace is active when the script below is executed because when it is disabled the text find/replace does not check locked layers and objects.

  • Find the angle of rotation of the anchored object, replace that specific object by letter

    It really isn't a good way to check if it really is one that you should be replacing, so it does not blindly on all 180 degrees of rotation objects...

    (You can simply change the "180" to your another number to check the other characters).

  • Why I can't get a hit with the find/replace glyphs palette. Faces of fonts checked.

    Screenshot 2015-11-04 00.30.31.png

    I received a copy (word doc) with a table using glyphs Sq Root in place and place check marks. Looking to find replace but GREP and text can't seem to manage the ROOT SQUARE or check MARK glyphs. If the glyphs tab of course right?

    Providing I still exact characters corresponding and no delicate Adobe fonts not anchored object with font substitution, that I can't seem to make a match with the glyph of the SQUARE ROOT.

    No idea why? Attack from a previous thread on my confusion even find these glyphs of fonts that appear to contain them who do not.

    Hey thanks for this tip, I've seen this kind of keyboard shortcuts commands, but never thought to use it in this situation. It turns out that, because the glyph is in a table , I need to set the "Include locked layers and locked objects (FindOnly)" even if the layer is not locked, I suppose that the tables are "locked" per class.

  • Confused about replacement of the object style that I can't understand

    Hello

    So I'll try to understand and to clean up a book a bit messy, I inherited (lots of inconsistent style and replacements). There are a bunch of boxes that have a style of object applied to them, but seem to have odd substitutions, which I can't understand how even got implemented Medallion.

    In particular, they have a substitution of "text frame General Options (spacing inset at left; Inset spacing on the right. I can't understand how you can even replace the object for this style.

    Even more strange, the paragraph style has a right of withdrawal. 0625 "and the withdrawal to the left of 0, but on the screen, I see the left indent is also. 0625 ". Even if it is not specified anywhere.

    Inside the style, is the inset spacing. 0.25 "right and left 25" and it's actually how the text is aligned. But it is clear lines on screens as if there is a left and right inset of 0,1875 "and a withdrawal of paragraph 0,0625 on both sides, when styles don't say this.

    Why do I care about all this? Well, I need to convert this CS6, and when I did, I found an extra. 0625 "Indent on the right side causing overset text. This led me down this rabbit hole.

    I know I have to get rid of all completely replacements and I intend to do at some point, but I can't do it right now for reasons of time, and I'm also actually really curious what is happening here. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    You have shown a paragraph style, but not necessarily one that is actually used. I have no way of knowing what calls for the definition of object style (but I see a substitution for the paragraph style), or what style is assigned to the text in this framework.

    Messed up, it is probably a good description of the current state, but to understand what is wrong, you will have to dig into what is really defined as opposed to what the appeal of styles to, then delete the replacements or redefine styles to give you what you want and probably some of both.

    You can use find/replace to find a style and replace it with itself to remove the replacements, I recall.

  • Find the width of a JPEG loaded into a clip

    I load a page of the bio information. Next to the photo of the person (photos may vary in width), I want to put a column of buttons 20 pixels to the right of the photo. After I load the photo in a clip from film empty, so I try to get the width of the photo in order to understand the position x, buttons next to him. Here's what I have:

    myImage = "images /" + _level0.images [link];
    loadMovie (myImage, image_mc);
    JPEG load OK in image_mc.

    trace ("image_mc._x =" + image_mc._x);
    I get "Image_mc._x = 393" as expected.

    trace ("myImage._width =" + myImage._width);
    I get "image_mc._width = undefined".

    trace ("image_mc._width =" + image_mc._width);
    I get "image_mc._width = 0".

    How can I find the width of the loaded JPEG?

    you are probably trying to get the width until the image is fully loaded... Use the MovieClipLoader class to load the image into the empty clip, then use the onLoadInit event to get a sample of the video clips (which corresponds to the width of the images).

    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    var myListener:Object = new Object();
    myListener.onLoadInit = {function(target:MovieClip):Void}
    trace (image_mc._width);
    };
    mcLoader.addListener (myListener);
    mcLoader.loadClip (myImage, image_mc);

  • Find + replace text (string constant) does not work for screw Statechart module

    Hello

    I tried to do a mass find + replace a string in my code. Using Ctrl + F, LabVIEW 2012 correctly locates all the places where this string exists, including within the States transitions guards who have paths in this form:

    XYZ.lvsciagram.vi / Transition: Guard - diagram, Transition, data/part

    However, when I've specified that a replacement string, then click on 'Replace all', only 'normal' instances of screws replaced - instances in my diagrams had not changed.

    What is going on? Is there anything else I need to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like those that does not include how to find and replace is implemented in LabVIEW. You can try to replace just the statechart and see if that makes a difference, but it may simply not work.

    Error 1 ganglion invoke in NI_3D photo Control.lvlib:Find Object.vi-> VRMLviewer.vi


    Possible reasons:

    NOR-488: Command requires GPIB controller charge controller.

    Is there a specific way to be part of Solidworks or wjat could be the possible reason.

    Thanks in advance.

    Although you probably have names on your model, your VRML (.wrl) file does not work. If you try to open the file with a text editor, you can fix this by adding the following statement before processing:

    Basis of DEF transform {}

    This will allow you to access the location of the VI to find. The error is because LabVIEW has not found the name in your VRML.

  • Find/replace, highlight found text script

    Hello

    I wrote this script and it works fine. But what I want to do is to go through each word found individually (as in the Find/Replace dialog box with the button "find next").

    This is an excerpt:

    app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    var what = app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "ensure";

    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "make" sure;
    var found = app.activeDocument.changeText ();

    Alert (found.length + "instance of"ensuring"changed");
    } else {}
    Alert (found.length + "instances of"ensuring"changed");
    }

    I want the script to each instance of "ensure" my active selection that I can see where they are before I change.
