Question about bounding boxes...

For one reason or another, sometimes over the last month or two, which seemed to be a default setting in InDesign CS3, has changed.  The best I can describe it, it's as if the default anchoring of any object on my page has changed from "on center" to "left" anchored.

For example, when I select a text box, and I use the feature width in my toolbar (at the top of the page) to expand the bounding box, the left corner of the box moves, and the right margin of the box grows to the size that I'm going home.  It's new (and boring) because allows, when I did this, the left and expand the right margin, and the box would remain "centered" to its point of origin on the page.

Similarly, if I rotate an object.  Allows, this object would stay in the same position on the page and just turns "the Center" when I use the rotation tool.  NOW, when I use the rotation tool, is anchored to the left of the object the botton, and the object will turn on this point, therefore not stay in place and moving around the page.

I can't seem to find a setting for this, but it is clear that there must be a.  He really interrupted my workflow, and I'm at the end of my rope in trying to figure out what setting I adjusted.

Does make sense to anyone, and if so, do you know how I can fix this problem?

I thank in advance.

Zim-

By default may stick if define you with nothing open, but of course it will change and stay however, it is set in any particular document until it gets changed again. The OP really just take a look at the box proxy of position to the left rear of the Panel, and then click the central point of proxy to address its problem.

But more importantly, it was to learn the value of being able to clarify a point which remains fixed other than the Center.

  • Question about check boxes

    I have a document I created and which has a lot of boxes. How do you check boxes a size by default when you click in the toolbar? I want that they all have the same size. I keep having to resize them when I click on the check box icon.

    Hi gregoryc4325533,

    You can do the following to create boxes of the same size:

    • First create a box to the size you want. Then right-click on it and select "create multiple fields". This will create several fields of the same size and with different names, using a hierarchical naming scheme.
    • Right-click in the box and select ' properties current use as new defaults "and the boxes that you add will have the same size and other properties.
    • You can also add all other checkboxes without much care of their exact size. Then select all the boxes either from the tool pane to right using SHIFT + arrow down or by using Ctrl + click and right-click on that which is of the correct size, then choose "Set field the same size > both" and then adjust their positions, which can be helped by right click > align distribute or Center > [select an option]

    Let us know if this solves your problem or you need assistance.

    Kind regards

  • Question about the boxes and enters the information

    I am runing a form which takes the boxes of a query.  They have the same name, but different values.

    On the action page, for each check box selected, a new record must be created in the db.

    IM' sure this has to do with counting and defining a number of loop, but for some reason, I paint a white.

    The query is the basis...

    < cfquery = "whatever" datasource = dbname name # >

    insert into ach_world_done

    (id, scoutid, den, world)

    Values

    (' #url.id #',' #url.scoutid #',' #url.den #',' #form.world # ')

    < / cfquery >

    As it is written now, it conmas the check boxes on the previous page, so if there are two boxes checked, it makes info1, info2 and this puts in the db.  I need to break it up.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sharon

    www.smdscouts.com

    On the page of the form, type a unique name to each checkbox:


              
               
               
                (X #dateformat(doh.datereceived,'mm/dd/yy') #.

    On the action page, count the number of checkboxes. Remember that ColdFusion submit check boxes unchecked.


       
           
       

  • Simple question about text box

    I have a text box that should remain only display, except that they are the character ' / ', then there must be active to enter data in there.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks advance.
    Doug

    Hi Doug,.
    It is possible. You must use java script to turn on and off the field.
    type the following script into the HTML header section

    type the following in the footer section-

    so he will get the value when the page is loaded...

    in the first text field or any mandatory text field, type the following to the form HTML - elements attributes

    onBlur = "javascript:enableDisable (this.value); "

    This will activate the text field if the condition is true. Make sure that you change the name of your text box (P1_TEXT).

    Hope this will help,

  • Help, please. Can't resize boxes – this isn't a question of "show/hide bounding box.

    Hello

    I opened illustrator today and found that I couldn't resize all forms using the angle handles. I tried to hide/show the bounding box, and this isn't the issue... I really don't want to reset my preferences. There were similar issues like this, but the only answer I get is hide/show bounding - that is certainly not my problem. Please help - this is driving me crazy

    Hi hummis243,

    You are on Mac OS 10.7 or 10.8? We have similar problems on these operating systems. The current workaround is to upgrade your operating system to 10.9 and it should solve your problem.

  • Questions about tables in text boxes

    When I convert the text to a table, there is a small space between the text block and the table. I have two questions about this:

    1. Is it possible to remove this gap? I put the text block options set spacing to 0 and gutter to 0 and spacing of table before and after to 0.
    2. Is it possible to create a table that is not in a block of text, especially when converting text to a table?

    Attached is a few screenshots that I hope will be useful. In the first image, East of the limit of the framework text in magenta and the structure of the table is in light blue. The gap between the blue magenta and light vertical lines on the left, that's what I want to remove.

    Tables are always in a text frame, and in fact, they are part of a paragraph, so I would check the assigned to this paragraph paragraph style and see if there is a left indent applied, or perhaps a paragraph alignment is set to something other than the left.

  • Questions about the update of the related .ai files

    I have two questions about related images.

    (1) sometimes when I make changes to an .ai file, the InDesign document will automatically update the image as soon as I save changes in Illustrator. In other words, I do not need to update the link in the Panel links ID.  Other times, however, the link will not update, and I have to click the yellow triangle next to the image in the links Panel to see the changes. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there an easier way to update images as the links Panel. In Quark, I could simply double-click on the image, and a dialog box asking if I wanted to update the image. This isn't a big problem for me, but I thought I'd ask.

    (2) every time I make a change to a file .ai, the image linked in InDesign always re-scales, and I can't understand why he's doing or how to stop it. For example, I placed a bar graph in Illustrator in a fitted frame and sound + x and + values there. He settled on a scale 100% and I will not change that. Then, I had to make a change to a text label on the chart, making the slightly smaller chart. When I updated the link in InDesign, it has been resized to 118.12%. I had to get into the x field + sign in the command bar and type 100% to get back to the level it was before.  Is there a default setting that I have to uncheck to disable this feature? If not, is there by chance a simple combination of keys that will allow me to re - scale the image quickly?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    1. looks that you sometimes select art or thename of the link and choose "Edit original" and sometimes you just need to open art and make changes. If you say that the ID to change original it updates to the Save.

    2. There are two options, depending on version, for the behavior of repeat and scale. In CS5 (and CS4 if I remember correctly), you have the choice between them in the preferences in previous versions, it is one or the other, depending on the version. One option is to preserve the dimensions, which is wha'ts that happens to you. The other is to keep scale. Exactly how to preserve the dimensions behaves depends on it, too much on the cropping options you have used when you place the .ai file. If you cropped to aret or encompassing, for example, change the size of the art or to remove a point wandering affect art or the bounding box, but of culture media would not change.

  • Questions about Stor.e TV +.

    Does anyone have a contact point to raise a complaint about the lack of service from Toshiba? I spent £160 on a TV + Stor.e and did have some problems with it, as you can see from the few posts that I raised. After spending £160 on a point I don't understand why if the forum is the only option to support what he is no Toshiba engineers on this issue, who are able to answer my questions. I do not expect a 24 / 7 hotline for £160 I spent, but it would be good to know that a Toshiba engineer could answer my questions about their products. Especially since it's the second one I had which suffers from a cosmetic defect, I had to stick to feet about it as the Unit came with 4 pads ride around the box. I also have my doubts about the HDMI because it seems to be very sensitive to any movement in the area, causing the connection to remove.

    I got a Western Digital box media for more than five years and had no problem with this, the only reason why I changed, it was to make use of the connection to the local network, the HDMI connection and the fact it supported more than file formats. FSR this device was abit of a disappointment for me. So if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

    Hello

    I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation and usually if you buy a product it should properly expect and do no problem.

    As you probably already seen here it s a user to only user forum. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me and there is no official support from Toshiba.

    In your case, it would be best if you contact an authorized service provider or call the Toshiba UK. The phone number, you can find on the site of Toshiba UK Web:
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Just give the guy a call and explain your situation. I'm sure they can give you a detailed answer and if your TV Stor.e + must be repaired or not. When warranty hardware repair is free.

    I hope I could help you a little bit :)

  • Question about support for LabVIEW DLLS and Unicode

    Hello

    I have a question about LabVIEW and DLL functions calls.

    I use a DLL (sorry, I can't share it) that was written in C. It was written to support Unicode and non-Unicode function calls.

    The Unicode function is valid, then FunctionNameW is called if FunctionNameA is called.

    I am building a few VI to access the library. I have the regular functions of FunctionNameA work.

    My question is, does LabVIEW support versions of function FunctionNameW Unicode, and if so is it necessary Although LabVIEW is already working with the standard function call?

    Am I being redundant or what should I build in Unicode support?

    The first time I tried to test the Unicode functions, I had an error, and I guess this is a system setting.

    Thank you for your time in advance.

    DB_IQ wrote:

    I don't think I have TO implement the Unicode, but I want if I can.

    For what I do, I think almost it is not serious. But I wanted to know if it could be used.

    The short answer is "Yes, you can do it."  However, it may open a new Pandora's box.  If you're not careful, problems and complications that can still spread to other projects that are not using Unicode!  It is better not to summon this monster unless there is absolutely no other way to do the job.

  • Questions about discussions...

    Hello

    I have a new app to do that requires network access.

    I have read this EXCELLENT post from peter_strange:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/connecting-your-BlackBerry-http-and-socket-c...

    Because I can't use BIS - B because I'm not a partner of the Alliance, I wanted to take a look at the new OS 5.0 network API and see how it works.

    I know that network connections should be performed in a separate thread.

    I'm far from being an experienced Blackberry developer... so I have a few questions about discussions.  I looked around the Internet, read on the forum, read the documentation, did some tests and so far, I came up with this code:

    SerializableAttribute public class HTTPConnection extends UiApplication {}
    Public Shared Sub main (String [] args) {}
    HTTPConnection PAP = new HTTPConnection();
    theApp.enterEventDispatcher ();
    }

    public HTTPConnection() {}
    pushScreen (new HTTPConnectionScreen());
    }
    }

    class HTTPConnectionScreen extends form {}
    public HTTPConnectionScreen() {}
    setTitle ("HTTPConnection");
    Add (new RichTextField ("choose a type of connection :"));

    final RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup() rbGroup;
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF1 = new RadioButtonField ("Direct TCP", rbGroup, false);
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF2 = new RadioButtonField ("WAP 1.0/1.1", rbGroup, false);
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF3 = new RadioButtonField ("WAP 2.0", rbGroup, false);
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF4 is new RadioButtonField ("BES/MDS", rbGroup, false);.
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF5 = new RadioButtonField ("BIS-B", rbGroup, false);
    RadioButtonField radioButtonF6 = new RadioButtonField ("WiFi", rbGroup, false);
    Add (radioButtonF1); Add (radioButtonF2); Add (radioButtonF3); Add (radioButtonF4); Add (radioButtonF5); Add (radioButtonF6);
             
    FieldChangeListener listener = new FieldChangeListener() {}
    ' Public Sub fieldChanged (field field, int context) {}
    ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread (rbGroup.getSelectedIndex () + 1);
    CT. Start();
    }
    };
             
    ButtonField buttonField = new ButtonField ("Connect", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
    buttonField.setChangeListener (listener);
    Add (buttonField);
    }

    / * method of onSavePrompt override default to avoid being asked if I want to record every time * /.
    protected boolean onSavePrompt() {}
    Returns true;
    }
    }

    class ConnectionThread extends Thread {}
    private int transportType;
    public ConnectionThread (int n) {}
    transportType = tt;
    }
        
    public void run() {}
    ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
    ConnectionDescriptor connDesc = connFact.getConnection ("URL", transportType, null);
    If (connDesc! = null) {}
    try {}
    HttpConnection httpConn = (HttpConnection) connDesc.getConnection ();
    httpConn.setRequestMethod (HttpConnection.POST);
    httpConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded");
    OutputStream out = httpConn.openOutputStream ();
    out. Write (Integer.ToString (transportType). GetBytes());
    int responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode ();
    If (responseCode == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {}
    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .invokeLater (new Runnable() {}
    public void run() {}
    Dialog.Alert ("- SUCCESSFUL CONNECTION-");
    }
    });
    }
    If (httpConn! = null) httpConn.close ();
    } catch (IOException e) {}
    System.Err.println ("IOException Caught:" + e.getMessage ());
    }
    }
    }
    }

    In fact, this code works very well... but I want to improve it, and I have a few questions:

    1. I think that right now, every time I click on the 'Connect' button, I start a new thread. I would like to end this thread in the "run" method, but I don't really know how to access the variable 'ct' from there.   Counsel on how to do it?  Or maybe always use the same thread until my application is closed?

    2. in the FieldChangeListener of my "Submit" button, I want to access the value of radio box.  I did work, but I had to do my 'final' variable  What is the right way to do it?

    3 - to display a dialog box with 'Successful connection', I just wanted to write something in my main screen.  How I do that?

    I'm just a bit confused as to just what set up when you use a separate thread.

    Thanks for your advice!

    Edit: Hidden URL I connect to...

    That's what I call a good question! (now I'm wondering why the forums do not work with opera correctly, in any case, here my baldy to the answer format): 1. your thread "dies" when it's over, no need to close it. 2 Yes 3.

  • PDTextSelectGetBoundingRect and PDETextGetBBox producing different bounding boxes

    I used PDTextSelectGetBoundingRect to get the bounding box of a single character, then I used PDETextGetBBox to retrieve the character bounding boxes in a PDEText element. However when I get to the character in question limit box will not come out the same. The left, right and the sides of the bottom of the box are coming as planned, but the top is larger, then the original box from PDTextSelectGetBoundingRect. Any idea on what could be the issue.

    These are not only different API, they are conceptually different and work in different ways (one on content EDP page, an abstraction of the graphical model and one on the PDWordFinder, a text extractor). I'm surprised that they are also similar because they are given many different concepts of "enclosing" you might find (square em, limit of control point, nominal path, path antialisesed limit, advance left-right text...)

    The mixture of these unfortunate necessity of the API isn't. You must apply a fuzzy logic to match its content and hope for the best.

  • Reset bounding box

    In versions before 2015 Illustrator, choose object > transform > reset the rectangle encompassing would reset the bounding box so that she was right, even if an object had been turned. Now, if the shape is created with a basic shape tools, as the polygon, this command does nothing, it is not correct the bounding box.

    Does anyone know how to reset the bounding box on forms of base in CC?

    It seems that we are stuck with it if we want to have forms of living. If you go to object > shape > expand your shape, you can reset the bounding box. But if you then go object > shape > convert shape, the bounding box jumps to angle.

    Thus, the choice is currently Live forms or reset the bounding boxes, but not both. That answer your question?

    (Time for a feature request!)
