• Help! Any reference grid does not display indesign cc

  Okay, I'm NOT a beginner in Indesign, or any other Creative Suite application, but maybe I'm missing something.

  In Indesign CC that my basline grid does not appear... sometimes it appears sparatically.

  I use the quick keys for access - appears.

  I use the menu item "Show Basline Grid" - it will not appear.

  I deselect grids at the rear in my prefrences - it isn't always on display.

  What I am doing wrong?  Can someone give me an idea, because it's really boring.  Just another question to a long list of shortcomings CC.

  On the documents where the threshold is 75% zoom to 100% and are looking for the grid. It should be there.

  A new document, set the threshold of 5% and choose the fit in the window. There should be no grid.

  Also, make sure that the color is light blue.

  And make sure that the size of the grid is something small as 12 pt and not 12 inch.

  And make sure that the beginning is at 3 p and not 24 p.

  And make sure that grids at the rear is not checked. You may have something in color or an image which hides the grid.

• preferences ideal for align grids/grids

  I've never really used "align to grid" so far. I'm having a devil of a time to work with me. Maybe I'm used to my old habits. What are the ideal preferences for her? Is it different if you use it with paragraph styles?

  Thank you!

  Hi spots freckles. Grids can be very useful if you know how the work. A couple of things that is important to understand:

  (1) the baseline grid is a document preference, which means that everything you set, whether, that will be the grid reference for the entire document.

  (2) that these paragraph styles that are set to align with the grid will break her. If you don't want a certain style to never line up on the grid, change your paragraph style to snap to grid, said 'none' (this option is withdrawal and spacing). You can also tell him to align only the first line. If you need to replace your paragraph style preferences in a specific instance, you can always put your cursor in the paragraph and select "Align to baseline grid" or "Are not aligned to the baseline grid" on your toolbar.

  (3) align a paragraph to the grid of the forces leading to a certain amount (or a multiple of this amount). For example: a 10pt grid would make the paragraphs seem to be either 10pt leader, 20pt attack, attack 30pt, etc.. If your attack is less than the increment of the grid, it adapts to the grid. If your paragraph spacing is larger than the grid increment, it will take more than one line. For example, a paragraph with 11pt that matches a 10pt actually grid will look like it has foreground 20pt, because she needs two lines to fit.

  (5) If you need to have more than one rack in a document, you can define a grid of baseline customized for individual text blocks (in your Options of text under baseline Options block).

  Regarding your question about turning off the grid for a particular area, you will need to select all the text in this box and click the button "Are not aligned to the baseline grid" on your toolbar. Personally, I like working with my reference grid display (toggle using the command + Option + ') I can tell when things are lining up and when they are not.

  There are many other resources out there (even whole books!) on how to work effectively with grids. You should be able to find a lot of info online. For now, I hope that this puts you on the right track.

• Using the baseline grid and 'space after' for formatting

  I use InDesign CC on a MacBook Pro of the retina. I'm designing a document and you want to use a reference grid to align the text. I would like also to use the option "space after" in the definition of a paragraph style. I use the type of 10 points on the line spacing by 15 points. "Space after" is defined as 7.5 points.

  If I try to apply both database grid orientation and the specification of "space after", I basically lose my pt 7.5 defined "space after" a lot more space because the wells of the first line of the following paragraph to the reference grid line below. I find myself essentially with 22.5 pt instead of 7.5 pt.

  These two incompatible functions or y at - there a way around that I don't know?

  Thanks for any advice.

  There is no way around it. Best is to calculate your different leading.

  space before and space after values so that everything falls on a

  base line. In this way you avoid having to rely on "Align on the baseline." You

  can also turn on "skip dragging ' in Preferences > Composition if

  you have graphics with dressing in them.

• How can I whitelist the "queue:" regime in NoScript preferences so that I can use Zotero?

  I use Firefox 15.0. When I open Zotero, I received the message, "the NoScript extension prevents Zotero to view notes. "Use NoScript and whitelist entire Zotero, the" file: "in NoScript preferences window and restart Firefox."

  I looked under preferences NoScript, but I couldn't find any references to "preferences." What does the message and how Zotero and NoScript together?

  NoScript has its own support forum, where they can help you with preferences such as NoScript. I use NoScript, but at a very basic level. Have you tried file: to the white list in the NoScript Options?

• How can I customize the 'grid '.

  I want to make the grid simplified in different situations, for example, one with the grid lines showing all the 1/4 inch and the slightly heavier lines every inch. How to make choices like this to change the appearance of the grid. By default, the grid is too thin slices and what I need is a most basic page layout and then be able to add more later by adding lines of 1/8th of an inch but keeping heavier lines at intervals of 1 inch.

  Is there a way to make changes to the grid easily?

  TIA,

• Need someone to update or create script: "snap to grid of pixels.

  Hello
  Before we begin, I want to say that I don't quite understand any code.

  I have a script that ripped up check and uncheck the command ' vector tools Snap and is transformed into pixel Grid "(" preference > tools ' CC 2015)

  I downloaded it long ago on a site that I do not remember it's free to use, I created the shortcut for it and it works very well until 2014 cc.

  I've updated to 2015 of CC and the script does not work, I think because they change the path where it allows for CC in 2014.

  If someone can update (send) or create the new script for 2015 CC he great help circulate my work.

  PS.
  If this can be done in the "menus and keyboard shortcuts" without a script, please let me know

  Best,
  Eli

  When Adobe changed over the preferences panel, it broke a lot with scripts. The transformsSnapToPixels no longer has a key. This is a bug that Adobe is aware and it's going to be fixing.

• baseline and the question grid

  Hello indesigners

  Im trying to put my reference grid to match my attack text.

  for some reason my text on all fonts is 14, 4pts, so I go to my prefrences and choose:

  

  is there something I also I have to adjust in the settings dialogue grids?

  Thank you.

  If your leader is 14.4, then type 14.4 in the prefs of grids.

  to make your text align him either align text block options > baseline options > attack or you can align the base grille.

• Change for new symbol grid

  Am I missing something or is it not possible to change the spacing of the grid in a new symbol.

  My projects grid is set to 7x7px but when I create a new symbol of the grid appears on 36x36px and I can't find anywhere to change.

  Any help?

  A market... I tried to change the settings for the grid in the grid preferences. There is another area to edit grids under view-> grid-> Edit grid...

  They really should consolidate these... it's confusing and dose not follow other standards to define the grinds in all other primary products Adobe.

• CS5 and grids

  Only, I want to rule of thirds grid, but cannot get rid of the grid which is part of the leaders and grids preferences?

  Kim:

  You seem to have misunderstood my instructions.  I think I told him to go to

  View > view > grid.  The guides 'show' is not in sight.  See the changing of the view

  and the grid is displayed as an option under view.  Also, I wasn't aware that the

  Rule of thirds was an option in CS3, but it's been some time that I used

  He is only an option for the crop tool in CS5.

• problem with alignment on the grid

  Hello

  I have a problem with the alignment on a grid. I enclose 2 photos so that you could understand the problem. It seems that when I have a "type" between the sentences, the alignment is not correct. The spacing of the grid is good for me, so I guess I should correct some parameters of the "past". How can I do?

  Thank you in advance! (and sorry for my bad English...)

  

  

  Your reference grid interval seems rather small. Set it to equal the attack of the text. Your text seems to be lining up at the gate, but due to the narrow spacing, it is able to align the replacement grid lines.

• Automation of creating user manual step

  Hi all

  I just started using InDesign hoping he can help my technical writing work. I mainly write technical manuals - installation equipment instruction manuals. Each step in a manual generally consist of an image showing the next action that the user must perform as well as some text step of explaining what the image and support that the reader needs to do next.

  I understand how to manually add text frames and image, as well as the way which put a link text frames the text between multiple images. However, I hope I can find a way to automate the insertion of a group or a set of images pre-defined.

  An example: I have a 40 step installation manual. Each stage has a photo showing the action step as well as text of instruction below (a bit like a legend). Each page of the book manual steps 6 - 2 rows with 3 steps (think the page orientation to landscape). Each step has exactly the same size and dimension, as well as margins gaps between them. The text block in frame of picture of each step is also fixed in size.

  So I have this installation manual 40 step and I want to insert a step missed between steps 13 and 14. To do this manually, I have laboriously move each step starting with 14 place a 'space' in the following pages, so I don't have space to insert the new step. This means that I must climb 26 steps each space by cutting/gluing - a very tedious task. Not to mention that I have then to manually renumber the steps incrementing by 1.

  Is there a way to define a "model content step", which contains a predefined image frame and the text block (both empty) grouped, and then power somehow automatically insert this step model in the desired position (for example, the new step 14) and that InDesign can do all the tedious work of automatically pass all the other steps up on their multiple pages as well as update the number of step?

  D appreaciate suggestions!

  Edit: Would be nice to be able to delete a step, and have all the following steps returned a space, as well that were renumbered accordingly steps.

  In your case, I would do the following:

  1. Set up your document according to the desired size and the purge as facing pages.
  2. In the new document change the baseline grid (Preferences > grid), which come only 2 lines is visible, where are your first lines of your steps.
  3. Implement a text object style frame with 3 columns
  4. Implemented 2 paragraph styles (additional to the title or other text: (NEVER WORK WITHOUT PARAGRAPH STYLES)
     1. Style for the step text paragraph, it should align the reference grid only [Text Style] next [Picture Style], auto numbering in the paragraph Style style, tip size fixed as police 10pt, 12pt leader.
     2. Paragraph style for the image [Picture Style], the main autosize
  5. Prepare a picture frame in the size you want, put it in a library.
  6. Drag the frame in your document,
  7. place an image inside,
  8. Cut the frame with the image in the clipbord and
  9. implement the text tool and
  10. Insert the contents of the clipbord in the image point where it should be.

  Position of the image in this case, I would define precisely with the paragraph style.
