• You use the zoom of the band to select all the data points in the Strip

  I feel stupid this morning. I am a new user with 2011, but have not figured out how to copy a portion of the data. I can use the 2D axis system view to view my data. Can I use zoom band to get the part I need, but for the life of me I can't seem to copy the part. I put at the beginning and end and other flags, but the best I have is the starting point, one no point value and the end point. I don't get all the points between the flags. Am I supposed to mark somehow all the points in the zoom view? I did a search, but may not know what I am doing wrong.

  WOW! If simple, yet I kept missing it. There is a difference between "Band Zoom" and "band of cursor. Thank you very much! Feeling little sheepish here now .

• direct selection - move the anchor points with the arrow keys of the keyboard

  Hello

  I use Illustrator CC.  I just use the image tracking tool to create a version vector of my company logo.  It worked pretty well, but now I'm just trying to clean it up a bit.  I have a few anchor points that I want to just push upwards or downwards into the smallest possible increment.

  I think it would be easier for me to do using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse, but the arrows cause my selected anchor point to jump in too large a distance way.  I checked to make sure that the bearings commented, snap to grid and snap to Point are all extinct.  I don't see anything else to do.

  Can someone tell me which control how the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how can I fix this to the smallest possible distance?

  Thanks in advance,
  Paul

  General Prefs, area keyboard Increments. Have something you need.

  Then use Nudge (up, down, left, right arrow).

• Cannot move the anchor points using the Subselection tool? (CS5)

  Hey.
  I experienced an intermittent problem in Flash CS5, where sometimes I can't push anything using the Subselection tool. Sometimes, I can, but most of the time I can't and I don't know why.

  I can still click-and - drag points (or multiple points/paths), but I can't push the keyboard.

  Any ideas?

  My guess is that the item is grouped and you are inside the publishing group? For some reason any in this case you cannot move the points in this way.

  Separate the Group and try again. Sorry that's the only answer I know.

• When you use the pen tool when I click and create an anchor point and release the mouse button the pen tool emerges from the anchor and allow me to go and select a new anchor point. The right pen tool keeps adding lines that I move the mouse.

  Try this.go in the menus. Select cc illustrator > preferences > display selection & anchor > then make sure the box "activate the rubber band for" the pen tool is not selected. Then press OK. It should work.

• Select the anchor point of the Group and anchor it to the PointInsertion

  Hi all

  How to select the anchor point of the Group and dock it at the point of insertion of the document in indesign cs5.5 using javascript or vb.net

  You need get a reference to your group - call the myGroup - and the other to the PointInsertion where you want it anchored - call - the myIP. Given those, you can achieve your goal (in CS5 or later) by:

  myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP);

  You can specify a second parameter, if you want that specifies the position of anchor:

  myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP, AnchorPosition.anchored);

  That should help you get started.

• Select all the script maps

  Hi all

  Hoping someone out there can help, I need my script to end with one of the following 3 options:

  Select all: as in "cmd one"

  Select all the objects on the layer "Tabs".

  Select all the objects with the Script title boxes"tabs".

  Reason being, when the script ends I need a bunch of boxes to be pre-selected loan for a manual deselect by 1 point (chosen by the user) and then they Deletes selected objects manually to finish. (I didn't understand my original script here as has no impact on the autonomous part I need for the final selection)

  Hoping that this is a simple script but as it is rare to have a script of object selection and not do something with them, I think it's impossible to create.

  Thank you, Bren

  Read the object model and you will find that the equivalent script Cmnd + A is as follows:

  app.selection = null;
  pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
  app.select (pItems, SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
  

  To select all items in the layer tab page, filter the items in the page:

  app.selection = null;
  pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
  
  for (i = pItems.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (pItems[i].itemLayer.name === 'Tab') {
      app.select (pItems[i], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
    }
  }
  

  To select objects with a certain script label is a variant of the (or an addition to) the second script.

• How to select all the text, all layers including locked or not visible, using VBScript?

  I'm looking for the more elegant syntax through a document and select all the text frames.

  You cannot select objects in... locked or hidden layers, so you will need to unlock/show layer and do what you need to do with the text, while the layer is visible/unlocked.

  to get all the loop text through the text in the object of the document, you will get all the text elements. If you loop through text in a layer object, you won't get the text located within groups.

• Move the handles of direction in synchronization with the anchor point?

  Hi all

  I'm trying to move the anchor points on a random object (to get an informal aspect). (I know that some effects that already.)

  Maintenance of corner points is no problem - you just put the handles of direction to the same coordinates as their anchor.

  But I can't move an inflection point in the way I want it, which is to move the anchor point, but maintain the direction handles in exactly the same relation to their anchor as they did before. That is to say, they should remain smooth points.

  My script calculates the difference between the 'before' and 'after' the position of the anchor and applies this difference for the handles of direction... but in practice, the smooth points are converted at the corners, because the direction handles does not maintain their relationship with the anchor point.

  Would appreciate if someone can point out the flaw (s!) in my logic.

  var docRef = activeDocument;

  var activeDocument.selection.length = objects;

  var prompt = cShift ("Point change (pt)", 5 ");

  loop through all objects

  for (var count = 0; count < objects; count ++)

  {

  currentObj = activeDocument.selection [count];

  Nudge (currentObj);

  }

  function Wizz each object

  function nudge (obj)

  {

  var objPoints = obj.selectedPathPoints;

  var objPointCount = objPoints.length;

  for (var i = 0; i < objPointCount; i ++) {}

  var thisPoint = objPoints [i];

  var go = thisPoint.anchor [0];

  var vb = thisPoint.anchor [1];

  var = thisPoint.leftDirection [0];

  var lb = thisPoint.leftDirection [1];

  RA var = thisPoint.rightDirection [0];

  var rb = thisPoint.rightDirection [1];

  If (goes == the & & will == ra & & vb == lbs & & vb == rb)

  {/ / If the point corner, alternate the position of anchor}

  go = go + ((Math.random () * cShift));

  VB = vb + ((Math.random () * cShift));

  thisPoint.anchor = Array (va, vb);

  handles direction all at the same position, now a corner point

  thisPoint.leftDirection = Array (va, vb);

  thisPoint.rightDirection = Array (va, vb);

  }

  on the other

  {/ / not a corner point: keep handles in the same position relative to their offbeat anchor}

  var = va2 will + ((Math.random () * cShift));

  vB2 var = vb + ((Math.random () * cShift));

  thisPoint.anchor = Array (va2, vb2);

  This bit calculates random offset applied to the anchor

  var anchorShifta = va2 - going;

  var anchorShiftb = vb2 - vb;

  These lines apply the same quarters for direction handles

  thisPoint.leftDirection [0] = la + anchorShifta;

  thisPoint.leftDirection [1] = lb + anchorShiftb;

  thisPoint.rightDirection [0] = ra + anchorShifta;

  thisPoint.rightDirection [1] = BO + anchorShiftb;

  }}}

  Modification of the other part:

  else
  { // not a corner point: keep handles in same relative position to their shifted anchor
      var aShift = Math.random()*cShift;
      var bShift = Math.random()*cShift;
      thisPoint.anchor = [va  + aShift, vb + bShift];
      thisPoint.leftDirection = [la + aShift, lb + bShift];
      thisPoint.rightDirection = [ra + aShift, rb + bShift];
  }
  

• Application of expression about the masks and the anchor point

  Hello world

  As im new to expressions I'd like know if there is one that might place the anchor point in the middle of the left and right points masks.

  So, essentially, it would be something like:

  The fair value of mask, subtract the mask from left value, divide the result by 2, and add the result to hide the left value. and the end result would be the anchor x value.

  And then the position values would need to be updated as well

  .

  This image shows an image divided into 10 parts by use of the mask, each section has its own layer to manipulate individually

  I wish that the anchor points to around the middle of the original image in the middle of each of the hidden sections. See the 2 pictures below.

  

  (only 3 Articles visible on this image) Section to the left's current layer.

  Anchor is sitting in the Middle now, id like it to sit in the middle of the left section, where to point the arrow. The section should stay where it is now, then the position values would need to be updated as well.

  

  Another example, it is the right, in all, there are 10 sections of mask.

  

  Each section has its own layer to manipulate individually.

  In the end, I'd like to do a rotation effect sections on their axis Y similar to these billboards with several ads on them. See the link below

  Hope this is clear enough?

  Thank you guys.

  Effect--> Transition--> card Wipe. For the rest - no, you can't access mask given with expressions. Only scripts can. It's a moot point, though. If you know the width of a band or it can calculate somehow, the course will be one way or another...

• Is it possible to disable the anchor points in illustrator cs3?

  Just, I got my wacom tablet and disable the anchor points in illustrator. I tried hiding on board and disable auto add/remove in the general section, preferably.

  I want to be able to draw freely without anchor points, connection with all my forms that are next to each other.

  How do I disable the anchor points so it will allow me to free draw draw?

  Thank you.

  The pen tool or brush tool?

  Brush tool: double-click the button tool brush itself in the toolbar.  Adjust the settings accordingly. (more precisely "keep selected")

  Pen tool: no chance.  Press the command key to toggle the last used selection tool, and then click a place to deselect.  Or press command-shift-a to deselect everything.

• Unable to set the anchor points of the path when the keyframes turned on...

  I have a layer of irregular shape who I am deformation over time (from smallest to largest). I am able to set the anchor points of the path to the forms I want, but once I put two keyframes for the path I'm interpolating a slide, I'm more able to set the anchor points for minor changes, for example, I am unable to draw the Bézier handles. If I disable keyframes, then I am allowed to adjust the anchor again, but that means I have to start whenever I need to make an adjustment. I have run successfully the concept but need to change several layers of form in this way, and not having is not access to the Bézier handles point of anchorage slows productivity.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Sorry, I missed the rather obscure reference to an expression in the first post you. Had, I had to pay more attention I'd say disable the expression to change the path, and then select. Not being able to select a top with the marks of perfectly logical on expression because it is turned on with the full path is selected by the expression of all time. This is how work expressions. This seems to be a lot of trouble to go just to change the "timing" of a couple of keyframes.

• Cannot move the anchor point?

  I use CS4.

  When I try to select an anchor point, the actions I take immediately highlight the position and position - not the anchor. I use the selection tool - is not serious if I select the layers or via screen - same thing happens.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  If you use the Pan behind tool (keyboard shortcut is the key there) and enter the anchor point, the anchor moves relative to the layer, but does not move the apparent position of the layer in the composition. If you check the position values in the timeline panel, you will see that they change when you drag the anchor around the layer.

  

  If you enter values of anchor point in the timeline panel, the relative position of the layer seems to be moving in the composition window, but the position of the values do not change because the position of the anchor point is not mobile at the composition level.

  The value of the position of a layer is always the position of the anchor from the composition. The value of the anchor point is the position of the anchor relative to the layer. Rotation and scale centered around the anchor point of the two.

  I hope this helps.

• How to select all the text in the document?

  I need to select all the text in a long export to RTF document. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas of how I can do?

  Thank you

  Ian

  Cannot be done. You will need to attach all the text boxes in a long history, or to use the 'ExportAllStories.jsx' script that comes with your installation default InDesign.

  There are other alternatives (each using scripts), and the best way may depend on what are your intentions with the exported file - for example, if you want to read back into their original text after the mounting frames, well, there are ways to do it.
