Vertically align multiple objects?

For a brochure, I created a design of base consisting of a header, a continuous line and a text block containing a few paragraphs. To the right, I've created a spot for support information, which has a dashed line aligned vertically to the top of the page the paragraphs of text to the left (showing this alignment with a green line).

Because the text can vary in length (I use vertical AutoSize under Options of text block), I'd give all this content to Center vertically on each page. The included Golden rectangles represent approximately an equal vertical size. If the header is increased to three lines (this block of text is anchored to the bottom) or if the text below gets more long/plus short (this text frame is anchored at the top).

I also want to keep the vertical alignment of the text to the left starting point and the dotted line + the content to the right (indicated by the green line).

I did a lot of research on this community discussion, as thus carried out several searches on Google and found only a few very basic information about groups and alignment and distribution. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Second example (showing more text all in vertical alignment, as well as the vertical lock point with dotted supporting content to the right):

Hello

I'm not sure you really need of automatic sizing on your block of text - if you make the text throughout the depth of the frame and then just Center your content it contains.

With regard to the supporting content goes, I would like to group the items and then anchor text in your main text block. Then, it moves upward and down according to the amount of text you have. It doesn't matter that he will sit outside the main text frame.

Kind regards

    but when I select both objects and click the align vertical that they align themselves with an invisible horizontal line

    It's (almost) identical to:

    And it's just a way to express what vertical alignment means. Here are some others:

    Their centres are the same height,

    Their centers have the same value of Y on the Board/chart workspace.

    In all cases, you can draw a horizontal line through their centers.

    Mathematically, Y = C (there is a C constant value) is the equation of a horizontal line.

    How do you change the vertical alignment of the text in a text field. By default seems to be centered.

    Have seen some discussion and at least one of the possible solutions, but can't make it work as I can't find the same items in the described pallets.

    Turn on the paragraph palette by selecting it in the Windows menu. Then click on the object that you want to manipulate and on this palette paragraph are alignment icons that allow you to set the text to start at th etop of the field instead of in the middle.

  • File IDML opening with vertical alignment of text in the box set "Center".

    I got a batch of files, asking me to review. They were saved as files CC as well as .idml. I have used .idml since the sender used plugins files that are not included in the package. Using the .idml, I do not get the warning about the missing plugins. However, when I open the idml files that all text boxes are the vertical value Center instead of top. Very tedious. CC files opened correctly (with the exception of the warning about the missing plugins).

    Is it possible to open the idmls and get the vertical alignment to open as "top"? Or should I use the CC files and ignore the warning on the plugins?

    Thank you!

  • Lose the vertical alignment of the table during the conversion of the ditamap to book

    FrameMaker Version: 12.0.4.445 (later part of TCS5)

    1. I have a project structured, where several XML files have been grouped in a ditamap.
    2. For one of the XML files, I have a table, where I need to set the cell Vertical alignment of cells in the MIDDLE.
    3. So using Paragraph Designer > table cell, I have change the entries in the top in the Middle (the default values have been Top).
    4. With the ditamap pane selected, I'll then menu file > > Save Ditamap under
    5. I save ditamap as ' book with fm components 12.0 (* .book) "file type.
    6. In the resulting book, the XML files are now. FM files.

    However, at this point, when I open the. File of FM which has the table, the cell styles back to the TOP.

    I searched high and low for a similar problem. It's look like a bug to me, but can someone confirm?

    Thank you

    No, this is not a bug by itself. I bet that the alignment is lost before you generate the book. After you set the alignment and saving and closing the file... reopen and see if the alignment is still there... I bet it's gone. As a general rule, you cannot apply put in shape or properties to objects (elements) in a DITA file. This applies to font and paragraph properties as well as table set in shape and other types of development in the form. All you can do is create items and set attributes. Any parameter properties will usually be lost on file save.

    You would probably need to have a 'process of publication' (script any) you run your generated book and chapter files that would scan for an attribute that shows some properties must be set on the table. The @outputclass attribute is typically used for this kind of thing. I'm not aware of what anyone in default FrameMaker DITA, who put in place to manage this type of formatting of the tables.

    If this formatting that you try to apply is consistent for the whole table, it is possible that you will be able to do this by creating a new table format that has this set of default formatting. When you insert a table in a subject, the table format is assigned to the tgroup/@outputclass attribute and this is the form that is used when rendering the table. Just create a new table in the structured application model and put in place this format to have the properties you want. Then, when you insert the table, be sure to select this format. It can be hard to set this up, but it * should * work.

    However, if this does not work, or you need more refined formatting applied to the parts of the table, I produce a tool called DITA-FMx, which offers extended DITA creation and publication of the options for FrameMaker. It offers features that allow this type of table set shaped to be applied by setting the attribute @outputclass to a specific value on the line or cell. You can get more information on DITA-FMx here...

  • Align the object does not support the text properly?

    When I vertically align a line of text and a rectangle, it is not well centered visually. I have "Use Preview Bounds" lit.

    This screenshot, the two blue squares are the same size. Illustrator obviously think it is mathematically focused., but it is not visually. What is Illustrator evaluating in the line of text that made this mistake of centering (there is no descenders)?

    Tips for fast fix visually centered text in a box?

    Screen Shot 2015-04-03 at 11.26.31 AM.png

    Navarro,

    You can:

    (1) tick Edit > preferences > General > use overview of limits;

    (2) select the Type and the effect > path > describe the object.

    Which will reduce the Bounding Box to the real limits of the letters and keep the editable Type.

    Don't forget to uncheck the Edit > Preferences > General > use limits Preview until you get a reverse problem.

  • Alignment of objects

    Suite the situation: I got, like, 10 objects in vertical alignment, all have the same width. Now, I want their central point to align with X = 7.5 mm. So I select all, use "Align on the vertical axis" (or so have German Indesign), then set the reference medium-high point

    id2.JPG

    and the value X 7.5 mm with all 10 selected objects. After that, when you select a single object, the value of X is not 7.5, it is some higher or lower (as in the picture).

    But for all the objects, the average of the values X 10 will always 7.5 mm.

    How to get rid of this? I have to select each unique object and the value of X = 7.5 mm manually?

    First use the vertical alignment of the centres key control panel or the attribute align Panel to align, and then use the proxy to move them as a unit. Several selections will behave as a group, if you move the center of the group to the coordinates, not the individual items.

  • [Q] can Vision track multiple objects in the same area - objects that might cross?

    Hello

    Sorry for this long title, but this is my question.

    Can Vision track multiple objects in the same area - objects that could cross?

    Because I'm able to do, extraction of XY, but it seems that "IMAQ County objects ' don't follow framework after but framework opposed, but extract the coordinates XY always in the same way, as for example from top and whenever he sees an object, it retrieves the XY, but if the objects pass through (then it will extract XY without worrying that the objects was the earlier but just based on"scan from top to bottom").

    That's why I open this topic in the forum of Vision no part: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Sort-XY-by-closest/td-p/2440428

    Thank you

    Sébastien

    Thank you for your response.

    My problem is that we work with very small insects and the shape/color is the same for all.

    Then the solution is: Let's wait for "IMAQ County objects 3 ' then .

  • Left edges of printed lines moving in and out of vertical alignment, goes to the bottom of the page.

    I downloaded an upgrade HP suggested and just after, had a paper jam.   I have authorized, but then got the error message: cartridge stuck.

    I couldn't find the cartridges in a first time (they were caught completely to the left), then the belt to see if I could make it appear.  Nothing helped, and... uh - oh - guess that I would not do.

    Finally, I spotted the cartridges, slipped to them where they were supposed to be, and the printer worked.  Except now, descending by the offset of the page become for two and some lines (first part crushed), indentation of about an eighth of an inch of horizontal lines.  Then, on a half inch below the page lines come back to correct the record.  Then they go again shifted, which cycling through all the way to the bottom of the page.

    How, please, can I restore the vertical alignment?

    Hi dickns33,

    I'm glad to hear that you found someone else and it works. As for the former, although it is very nice and respectful to donate, make you a good point about someone buy it and be disappointed in the quality of printing. I think the best thing to do is to recycle.

  • Cascades - Vertical alignment does not work after you add a higher container

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem with vertical alignment... Trying to play and to imagine a way to transfer my apps to BB10, I wanted to create a page layout and Center my components in the center of the screen. I created the necessary containers and things, it worked, but then, my baggage was obviously only in the center of the screen too.

    So I decided to add a top-level container that would hold only the background. But then, my content is not centered (in the container for the child). I do not understand why and I don't know I'm missing something.

    Here is the structure:

    {Page}
    content: container}
         
    layout: {StackLayout}
    }
    background: Color.create ("#555555")
    {Of container
    layout: {StackLayout}
    }
    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
    verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Center / / DOES NOT WORK
                
    {Of container
    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
    layout: {DockLayout}
    }
    {Label
    text: "save location".
    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Left
    verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Center
    textStyle {}
    Base: tsd1.style
    }
    }
    ToggleButton {}
    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Right
    }
    }

    Anyone have any idea on this? Is there a simple way to have centered on the content with a background full screen? I tried a lot of different ways, but none gave me the result I wanted (except setting a padding but that is not as I wanted).

    Thank you

    Add an empty container with spaceQuota 1 down. It will take all of the remaining space.

    Container {
      layoutProperties: StackLayoutProperties {
        spaceQuota: 1
      }
    }
    

    If you want to Center controls, adds another container empty in front of them.

    Also try to play with preferredWidth: Infinity / preferredHeight: Infinity and modes of different adjustment (filling or Center).

    I realize also realize that if I remove the title bar, and then it snaps as I want. Anyone have a solution this? Thank you.

    Try with this:

    PDF files have no alignment, no tables, no cells. Only lines and text. Any export is conjecture. The fact that he has managed to export a table at all is wonderful conjecture. You seem to be expecting too much, in my opinion.
