The scale of objects all anchored in a framework

Hello

I design a page layout with pages to index 200 every tenth page (these sections are separate documents in an indesign book) with clickable thumbnails rendered via the Table of contents.

Each page includes a "content frame" in which I got a "paragraph TOC style" with a title and a picture embedded in. It comes to be able to quickly create a "table of contents" consisting of thumbnails of every page that is clickable.

The problem is that when I make the ToC, images related anchor are full-size so my frame placed with finished obviously OCD go not all ten "thumbnails." When I scale down the image, including all those images; only the anchors visible when the scale get adjusted and nothing else...

So I want to do is select this "Fake" frame and run a script that resize all included objects anchored to 20% of their original compared to their size.

When I do this manually by clicking on the objects of the anchor and resize them all flowing all good and well. But it won't be too much manual labor to effectively render these miniature ToCs that our client is a master of changes.

You guys n girls follow what I hear or I should better explain my problem?

Many thanks in advance for any guidance in the right direction

/ Kent

Thanks Uwe.

Kent: Which can be fixed easily by leaning on the story rather than the framework:

frame.parentStory.pageItems.everyItem().transform(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR, matrix);

But you will be then be scaling all the inline and anchored objects in any thread frames as well.

  • Get objects all anchored (CS4 Javascript)

    Hello

    I'm trying to get objects all embedded in a document. That's what I came with:

    var myAOs = [];
    myItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
    for (aa = 0; aa < myItems.length; aa ++) {}
    If myAOs.push (myItems [aa]) (myItems [aa] .parent instanceof character)
    }

    Is there a better way to do it?

    Thank you

    Ariel

    App.documents [0]. Stories.everyItem ().pageItems.everyItem () .getElements ();

    That you will get all the page elements anchored except those in tables and notes.

    For notes, you would add in a footnotes.everyItem (extra)

    For Tables, I think que.pageItems.everyItem () will work, but I'm not positive.

    If you need nested tables, you can use tables.allPageItems.

  • unpredictable behavior when the scale of objects in Flash

    Is it me or is the tool of scaling in Flash totally unpredictable? For example, I take a handle on one side of a rectangular object and drag to extend longer, sometimes, the object grows on both sides. Other times I've take it and resize it and the object grows and moves also. From time to time, I can grasp one side and expand the rectangle with just one hand, which is the behavior, I expect in the first place, but never seem to when I need it. WTF? I am trying to love drawing in Flash, but it's mostly just me so upset.

    Yes, thanks to you two. It allows a bit to know that some of what I learned for Illustrator and Photoshop is useless for the Flash. Don't know what the difference is between the resizing of the centre or from the central point. It seems to me that the default value for the central point is the Center, and then I have to move the center point to the edge to get the object to resize in one direction.

  • The scale of the objects in front panel for different screen sizes

    Hello

    Can someone help me Vi design for different screen sizes. I designed a VI to a small monitor and a lower resolution, but when I open the Vi even on another monitor, objects are not aligned correctly. The properties that I have changed are

  • Is it possible to scale multiple objects at the same time?

    I'm trying to select and scale of the three objects (imported PSD files) at the same time. It seems that he dimensionnera only one at a time (i.e., two of the selected objects do not change, while the other doesn't). Is there something that I am on, or is just really deficient Captivate in this area?

    If not, is there anywhere that you can manually enter a percentage of the scale? I want that all objects at scale to stay the same size in proportion to one another.

    I wanted to ask you: what is your workflow?

    When I select several objects and change the width (or height) in the accordion of transformation (percentages are not available, and I regret it as well), the objects will all be rescale but also move because it's really the surrounding area is resized. This is perhaps what you mean? And some items cannot be resized below certain limits (text captions are an example).

    You say "imported PSD files", I hope that you realize that each layer, or flattened image are converted to PNG. I guess you have CC? You can also use the round tripping with the PS?

  • Why are not all the features of scaling, not all the items on the scale?

    I made a drawing. Then, I want to scale. I select scaling features.

    But:

    -not all traits are put on the scale: some are wide, some are not resized

    -several objects (which have been cloned from a single object) are regulated in a different way and get different forms.

    What is the cause? What I am doing wrong?

    Here you can see two screenshots: one before scaling, one after the scaling to 45% and zoom in a bit.

    Paul,

    You might have to align on the pixel grid is TICKING; You can uncheck it in the transformation Panel. It is a parameter which is default in CS5 for certain types of documents.

    You can see if this is it, or a part of it and report what is still wrong after trying.

  • How to convert all anchors in Illustrator for the corners?

    How can I convert all anchors in Illustrator for the corners? 'Convert anchor points selected on the corner' does not work or I couldn't use it properly.

    I use the direct Selection tool in the half of the points of the object and click 'CSAPC' - and it does nothing.

    is one knows how to do this?

    To run the script, see here:

  • any way to lock the scale of a model (not dependent on the size of the object)?

    I know about the scale dialog box and the mode of scaling and object independently, but what I would really is a way to block a model to stay the same size and shape compared to any size becomes the object, to which it is applied throughout the document.  From now on, it's hard enough to do what I say... constantly bother with issues of scale in the scale dialog box.  But what happens if you have two objects and you want them to have the same model, same size etc even if their size and move them?  Think if you are mapping and you as "swamp" or "thick granite" symbol and you want the marsh plants few stay the same size easily. It is possible now, but certainly not easy I can tell. 'Traits and effects scaling' option in preferences does not affect employers, is basically down to resize the object and then guess what percentage to keep the model. And I really don't want to do up the dialog scale up just because I want to make one of my larger items and don't want to come into conflict with the other grounds in the same way. Or maybe I'm not using the right program...

    all advice?

    Few things that comes to my mind - disable the motif size change in preferences. The select the object that has this model of fill and click twice on the shade of reason. This would reset the fill of the model in its default size. If you find that too big or small, rework on the shade of reason to get the right size. And next time, when you use the scale dialog box, make sure that you do not have "Patterns" checked.

    To change the position of tile in the fillings - select the object, press the tilde (~) key and using the Selection tool is trying to move the object slightly. Experiment a little.

    If that doesn't help - thanks for posting a snapshot.

    See you soon!

  • Set the scale of all the images in a table

    Hi all

    I have a chart 2D photos (say 4 x 4). I want to scale/zoom (all together) by a factor. So I use the zoomfactor property node wired to a digital slider, for any element 1 photo. During execution, only the image element for which I extracted the property node can be seen dynamically scaling, the rest stay where they are.

    Only if I hover over them, or use the increment/decrement button, then the rest of them move to the value on the scale suddenly. Is that how it is supposed to happen? I guess that there must be a way out. I would like to see all visible on the façade to the scale of the whole.

    I don't understand the VI because they have the pictures stored on the path to my computer to load whenever it works.

    Hoping to get a solution by advanced users.

    Thank you.

    Quick and dirty, but it works

  • A few questions about the quality of the displayed video, object to scale, and a funny question intervenes in my VI

    Hello

    I am doing a project for pattern recognition and lead to a VI (Please find attached). There is something that I don't know and would like to ask:

    1 VI works, but in a funny way: most of the time I have to pass the "Create Template/model search" button twice in order to get thin VI work (there were only a few times I just need to click once on the button). What is the problem here and how to fix it?

    2. I understand that IMAQ game model works with RGB images. So is there anyway that I can always get pass images RGB by IMAQ learn boss, IMAQ Match, while the resulting 2 'Template' and 'Image' are always displayed in color mode.

    3. are there in any case I can still detect the object if the scale becomes a problem (I need to go far from approaching the object)? To resolve this problem, I need to use IMAQ matches geometric pattern, which I learn from somewhere in the forum it took much more time to match my result comparing IMAQ Match jacquard?

    Thank you very much.

    How did you run it? Using plugin HTTP-REST?

    vAPI plugin does not communicate with endpoint vAPI via REST. You can use script objects vAPI automatically generated when you imported vAPI metamodele.

    You can watch 'List all tags' workflow example that comes with vAPI plugin and modify it. The script code might look like the following (endpoint and tagid are input parameters)

    if (endpoint == null) {
      throw "'endpoint' parameter should not be null";
    }
    
    var client = endpoint.client();
    var tagging = new com_vmware_cis_tagging_tag__association(client);
    var result = tagging.list_attached_objects(tagid);
    
    System.log(result);
    
  • 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.
