Is there a way to automate the creation of files based on a model with the content of the file is different based on a list?

It was very wordy, and at the same time, I can't do better.

I have a model of a decal. I want to do a lot of these stickers, but with a different name on each thumbnail. Is it possible that I could feed a list to Illustrator and have it automatically generate decal files, with the text changed in each file a name on the list? This way I don't have to open the same model, 30, 40, 50 times and manually change the content of the text for each name I need.

The function Variable Data should be the way forward for this type of workflow.

This link will give you a quick overview.

This isn't something I do every day. Only done on a few jobs that should have the text to change in a few places with a static background. I do not see a need for this function a lot with my current workflow, looks like the configuration of the template file with variables takes longer than just create the files of 12 or 15 necessary. But if you must create 500 files from a single model and can determine what variables should change then this may be something you want to become good at.

  • Is there a way to automate the generation of documentation for a function panel?

    We have a few DLL projects that contain files of the Panel (.fp) function.  Bind us a help to the DLL file so that we can call the help file when using TestStand.  As part of the construction, we must manually run the Options-> generating Documentation-> HTML.  Then load us the .hhp file in the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop tool and select the file-> compilation to generate a .chm file.  Then in LabWindows/CVI, we can build our DLL with links to the help .chm file.

    Everyone was able to automate this?  It seems that it would be convenient generate the help file in the section actions before generation steps to build the project.

    Note: this slightly more complicated process of the generation of the .chm file replaces the former method of generation of a .hlp file in LabWindows/CVI.

    Yes, you can use the CVI ActiveX GenHtmlHelpFromFPFile function to perform the same operation by program. If you are not familiar with the CVI ActiveX interface, you can find more about this in the CVI online help by going to the using LabWindow/CVI > access the Interface of Server ActiveX LabWindows/CVI help topic.

  • Is there a way to make the addresses in a blind email recipient list?

    I make a list in my address book and I wish that the emails out to everyone on the list without all the other names showing. Is this possible?

    Answer brief No..

    BCC is a feature of the email address, not the address book. Thus, you can BCC list, but you cannot specify the list as long as it is only available for the email BCC field.

    Scenario of

    If the certificate has already reached 70 percent of his time of life and the router has already tried 5 times to get a new failure.

    1. is there a way to know how many times the router tried to re-enroll?

    2. is there a way to force the router to re-register without down tunnels?

    3. If the router has already tried, I can increase auto-enrollment to 90 - would this work?

    Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

    See you soon!

  • Is there a way to keep the key without wire-paraphrase hidden in Windows 7?

    Windows 7 wireless network card allows users to view the paraphrase key wireless to a secure wireless network (see characters), while Windows XP and Vista keeps hidden key.  Is there a way to keep the key-paraphrase hidden in Windows 7, even for administrators?  If this isn't the case, I will allow all computers Windows 7 join my secure wireless network until this problem has been fixed.

    Thank you

    This is just another example of how Microsoft is not in contact with the real world. The other big problem that are domain with Windows 7 users is disabled profile copy. (I found a way around this one) As of today, I will not buy any more portable Windows 7 for our school district until Microsoft gets some of these problems taken care of.

    Once a user has the encryption key on their machine, its fairly easy, using Windows Connect Now [WCN], for the profile of wireless network on a flash drive and see the key in plain text in the\Smrtntky\Wsetting.txt file on the flash drive. This is a convenience for users who have wireless clients that cannot use WCN automatically, IE. a Linux client for example. WCN is and is available on Windows 7, Vista and XP.

  • Is there a way to clean the library of modules?

    I tested a few months things now in the ACP countries.

    There are some modules that are no longer relevant.

    Is there a way to clean the library of modules?

    Cleaning could be something like...

    • Some modules together for easier and faster to the group identification
    • Removal of the modules that are no longer needed
    • Modules disabling some how to, at least, remove them from my view.
    • Sorting by type modules
    • Modules of sort by creation date

    .. Bottom line is that there are a lot of things in the library of modules that I have to go and I need everything, see all the time when I'm at this place.

    Hi John,.

    This point is on the roadmap, although I don't think that we have a date for it yet.  I hope to see a similar workflow as with other learning objects.  Project > publish > retirement > delete.

    The idea of consolidation and other sort options are all good ideas that I will pass on to the team.

  • Is there a way to extend the layer of text in after effects 2015 beyond two paragraphs (or about 500 characters)?

    I work with a long scroll of text after effects CC 2015.  I'm creating an introduction of 'Star Wars' style based on a sample of YouTube project and I downloaded the file that the author of the project was created and, like my creation of the project, in my copy of AE it displays only the first two paragraphs.  Here is a link to the project of perspective on what I'm looking for: https://youtu.be/_x0ZOYrLiFQ

    The text has three short paragraphs and a total of about 500 characters.  The first two paragraphs show without any problem.  Type anything beyond paragraph 2 does NOT extend the area of text.  The text seems to disappear and the bottom line to the bottom of the text box does not move.  Yes, there is space in my Viewer to see the text I type if the bottom of the text box was extended downwards.

    By dragging the bottom of the text box changes only the font size of the two paragraphs that are visible.

    Is there a way to extend the area of text beyond two paragraphs or 500 characters?  I'm guessing that there is a mystery being here that I'm missing.

    Thank you, Rick.  Here's what I found which deals with this:

    1. Yes, it seems that it there IS a length limit initial with text boxes created in native mode, and it seems to be about two paragraphs or 500 characters (imagine that).
    2. Good news: it is not an absolute limit.  If you use the text tool (instead of the selection tool, as I did), you can drag the bottom handle on the text block to whatever length you want.  Note that from my experience, it was somewhat difficult to grasp it 'so' to be able to extend it.  However, with a few attempts, I was able to do.
    3. Imported text, as you do, seems to be immune to the original deadline, so it is also a workaround.

    I had not had before this project, a text box to the length I had, so I had never known/had to deal with it before now.

    Hope this helps other people who can hit the same rock to have more text to display their original text box will allow.

    Thank you, Tom

    There is no automatic way, but this might work: in the "Customize toolbar" window, select "Save Preset," save your settings to a file and then move it to your laptop through the method of transfer of file of your choice. Then on your laptop, simply "Load Preset" from the same window.

    I tried exporting a PDF score in word format, but it seems incomplete. Is there any way to export the music score PDF to word correctly?

    Very, very unlikely, unless you export each page in the form of a simple graph, slats, words and everything. You ask too much, especially given that Word is not a music creation application.

    ___Is there a way to prevent the reopening of Ai CS5 documents after an accident?

    In my view, that a specific document is originally have plant, so after that AI crashes, he's trying to re - open the file when I restart There, and then it crashes again - to infinity!

    There is nothing I know which causes Illustrator automatically open a document after a crash. I would like to rebuild preferences (immediately after the start of Illustrator hold SHIFT, Option, command).

    Now, if your operating system crashes and you need to restart your computer, there is something on the mac.

  • Is there a way to change the parameters of PSI of documents without loss of information?

    Hello - we got a Kodak scanner and a program he is come with to scan old files (real files, not the files) for storage, then we could free up space. We have just started using this, but I have a question about the PDF files that stay us with.

    For starters, the scanner is set to 600 lb/po2, hoefully we can change that and the program Kodak that it came with. I think that the program reads the text in the scans to register as memory. When they are finished, we can search for a name, the word, the date, place... to find and it automatically will give us a list of locations.

    Here's the number one question, if change us the parameters of PSI to 150 lb/po2 or 72 lb/po2, he will still get this info, or should it remain at 600 lb/po2 FYI text?

    Secondly, we now have the scans that we have scanned at 600 lb/po2, but the files are huge!  2000 pages = 400 MB - is there a way to lower the PSI and keep data of the pages stay in the files? It is very difficult to work with a 400 MB file with 2000 pages without my Acrobat gel, and Yes, it is a complete program of Acrobat 8 and not just a player. I know in Photoshop/Illustrator, I can change the psi and shrinks the file size, but it also changes the print options later.

    Just try to find some other info before going any further.

    Thanks for any help, I know I asked what model scanner and Kodak program we use, but currently, I don't have this info. I was wondering the information is erased if the PSI file is reduced.

    I would keep the 600 absolutely no less than 300. More DPI is greater the accuracy of the conversion. You end up with too many artifacts that cannot be converted when you go to less than 300.

    You and always optimize the PDF file after conversion.

  • Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

    Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

    If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

    • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.
