Set the reference point for several objects in the middle of the document

Hello community,

I want to mirror a layout.

I: Yes

1. Select all objekts

2. set the benchmark in the Middle

3. objects in mirror

BUT

The reference point is in the middle of all the OBJECTS. This led to several objects across the border into my document because the layout is not spread out on a regular basis.

I want through the DOCUMENT will be the point of reference. How can I do?

Thank you

Christian

Have you fiugured this out yourself?

I just played a little and found a method, but it is not really intuitive. Select the object, then go to the rotation tool. The center of rotation must be defined as one of the handles of transformation, but you can drag it anywhere you like, then move until you want as the center of your mirror. Hold down the Opt/Alt key and click on the button to create a mirrored copy. The objects original reflects their position around the reference repositioned without the modifier key.

  • Matching color race for several objects of different colors at the same time

    Hi people,
    I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the stroke color to match the fill color (or add a stroke color in the case of no current line) for several objects at the same time when the objects in question have a variety of different fill colors.
    I can't seem to find a way and doubt one exists, but maybe I missed something or there is a suitable script.

  • Linear gradient angle is comprehensive for several objects?

    Hello

    I was wondering if I missed something, or simply confirm the way that the angle of a linear gradient is applied to several objects.

    This image has a gradient applied to all 4 objects (selected together, so both applied gradient).

    Capture-linear-gradient-angle-1.PNG

    The angle is set to 90 degrees, and here the color flows from black to pink, from top to bottom for all.

    This is the effect I want to achieve:

    Capture-linear-gradient-angle-2.PNG

    I.e. each object has the gradient flowing along its own form. I did it by editing the gradient on each individually, not these difficulties with 4 items, however a bit of a barrier for many (e.g. scales or fur, applied with a brush of art).

    I tried the gradient of construction in the predefined brush, but got an error message on the attributes is not not compatible with the brush.

    So... is this correct / expected Illustrator CS6 behavior and/or can achieve the same with efficiency for many, many items all at once?

    Jeff,

    You can create a path (set) with a basic form and the corresponding mix and use it for an Art Brush.

    I'm not sure how far it happens that you desire/need.

  • button object unique show/hide for several objects

    Happy new year! Thanks for all the support last year and several years earlier.

    Can you show me how to create an option button that turns the visibility of several objects (all object names that starts with 'Note')?

    I think to use this:

    If (getAnnots3D (pageNum) [0] .activated == false) getAnnots3D (this.pageNum) [0] .activated = true; mesh = getAnnots3D (this.pageNum) var [0].context3D.scene.meshes.getByName ("parameter") .opacity = 1

    (1) it is can you show me the right way to list several items for the getByName ("object_name"), is possible to use a wildcard to select all names of objects from "note"?

    (2) wouldn't be better to use visibility instead of .opacity

    Thanks for the tips

    You must use the visibility allowing you to switch things on and outside, and there is no built-in support for wildcards in the API - if you need to add a custom function as the following:

    for example, meshVisW ("leg", true) touches anything with the "leg" in the name (ord1, myleg...)

    function meshVisW(_name, _vis) {
        var currMesh = null;
        for (i=0; i -1) currMesh.visible = _vis;
            }
    }
    
  • Setting date and time for several photos

    Thank you for providing the space for new users and thank you in advance for your help.

    Currently, I'm moving across lightroom and apple aperture/iphoto 5.

    The part of OCD I like to have my library organized, and I noticed that when I transferred my library everywhere he is in a bit of a mess, so I'm currently putting together the library and it cleaning (around 18000 photos)

    Anyway, I almost settled on a folder structure (YYYY/MM - I for the number of photos I have try on the nut until days could be for many - happy to receive Advisor on it also)

    For the most part, the photos have the date and time of the beginning of the digital age (for me from 2006)

    Photos prior to 2006 are in the negative, and I am currently underway with these scanned and imported into the library, I have a lot each month.  Set the date and time from the date of creation, this is where I am running into trouble.

    I looked around the web and various forums without success.

    First of all, I organize the pictures in the correct order.  Then I select the first photo and then select it the remaining photos.  I then select the date/time setting in the menu and select the first option, ajuster to adjust to the new date and time, say on 01/01/1990 to 1200 hours.

    The result I get is the first photo (the photo so good term) 01/01/1990 @ 1200 as the date and time, others have 01/01/1990 Date (if I'm lucky), and the time of jumping around.  Sometimes it wont even change the date time for the remaining photos.

    What I want to achieve is the time even for all the photos when I select a lot, or increment in time by a lump (is to say 1 minute (1200/1201/1202) or 1 second (1200:00 / 1200:01 / 1200:02)) and I seem not to be able to work it to do this automatically, currently, I have to do this by adjusting each photo (some 200 at a time) which is really manual labor)) intensive

    Thanks in advance and hoping an easy solution

  • C# / JavaScript how to set the primary text block?

    Hello

    I'm working with InDesign scripting API with c# for my work. I'm new to both the InDesign scripting API and using InDesign as well.

    I am building a gap of master, with blocks of text so that the text block on the left page of the cheese would pass in the block of text on the right page.


    I read there is the option block of primary text for the master spread, but I can't seem to understand how to use it.

    Is there someone who could show me an example of script code to define the framework of primary text for a master page/spread?


    Here is the code I have for now.

    The question I have is in line 53, where when I try to run it, it gives me a very generic error 'Invalid object for this request.', which leads me to believe I'm doing it wrong.

                //Set the document's ruler origin to page origin. This is very important
                //--if you don't do this, getting objects to the correct position on the

    I noticed the JavaScript API that is very similar to c#, so it would be useful if I get a response from JavaScript.

    Hi Michael,

    Basically, you can do something like this (in ExtendScript):

    //Store value:
    var storedPreset = app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame;
    
    //Let's set it to true:
    app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = true;
    
    //Add the document, name the master as you wish etc.pp. :
    app.documents.add
    (
    
        {
            documentPrefreneces :
                {
                    facingPages : true
                    ,
                    pageWidth : "210 mm"
                    ,
                    pageHeight : "297 mm"
    
                }
        }
    
    );
    //Reset to stored value:
    app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = storedPreset;

  • Scale multiple objects, with the Center as a reference point, without moving the Group

    Hello-

    I want to scale multiple objects, their Center, without moving the group. I found how to change the objects of the Centre (setting of the reference point in the transformation to the Center and using the free transform tool Panel), but I would choose a bunch of objects and move towards the top of the Center, without the group get larger.

    I want to use it for the highlights on the plans. Say I have 25 small circles with numbers in them on the plan and I want to blow up to 200%, but I want to stay in the same place, is it possible to do both? Or do I have to re - intensify each object individually? The problem that I am running is even if I'm upgrading the scale objects from the Center, the moving objects and losing their place on the map. So, I made each of them individually.

    Thanks for any help!

    Not quite what you want, but if you make one, you can select the rest and the object > transform again > transform again individually.

    Why after an automatic update of windows 7, I get this error "error object not set to an instance of an object reference"?

    Hi AHurst,

    1. When you receive the error message?

    2. the updates have been installed on the computer?

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    If the problem does not still in safe mode, and then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third party installed on the computer program is causing the error message.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • How to set the property node maximum xscale for several scale XY Chart

    Hello

    I use a graph XY with three X axis and three scales of axis Y to draw the three sets of data. This works well.

    What I do now is to set the Xscale.Maximum property node for one of the x-axis (the other two autoscale). If I click right in the (Create Blockdiagram; Node property; X scale; Maximum) I can not choose what x-axis I want to put the Maximum for.

    So my question: how to select a specific axis allows you to set the XScale.Maximum property node when having several axes?

    Thank you for your help, any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hello

    After some more research and experimentation, I found that using the scale property X Active I can determine/set for which the XScale.Maximum Xscale is used.

    This solved my problem.

    I hope someone else can save themselves a few hours with this thread!

  • set the configuration of appeal vi for node reference vi call

    As noted in the title someone knows how to set the configuration of appeal vi (load with the appellants, charging for each call, load and store on first convocation) for a vi dynamically loaded via call by reference node?

    Thank you.

    CBR is irrelevant in the present case, since he already receives a VI reference.

    If you use the primitive opening VI refers to open this reference, then the VI will be charged the first time you call the primitive.

    If the VI leaves no memory (and you do not configure it on the way home), subsequent calls to the prim OVR returns the reference to the first VI you have opened. This is equivalent to the load and keep it.

    If you close and reopen the VI reference, it is equivalent to recharge.

    If you use a static reference to the VI, it is equivalent to the load with the appellants.

    Personally, I have all my default subVIs charge with the appellants.
