Artboards and grids

please don't tell me to search. I can't figure out what I need to ask yet.
how can you make the artboards line up to the grid? each of my boards is not quite set the same on the grid so trying to place items in the same position from one board to the next is hard.

i have a few art boards. each is 4x6 inches. the distance from the right edge of one to the left edge of the next board is odd and it causes the art board to start in an odd place in the grid. I will try to show in ansi style here.
| and - is a grid line, * is an artboard edge
I made the grid as straight as I could.
|----|----|----|----|----|
*---|----|--*-|----|----|
*---|----|--*-|----|----|
*---|----|--*-|----|----|
|----|----|----|----|----|
as you see the edge of the first artboard ends on a grid line ( 1" grid, 8 subdivisions ) as it should since I am using a 6" wide artboard, it should end on a grid line. The next artboard starts in a spot that is not a grid line like the first one did. so the grid is off on the second art board.

  • What is the  difference between list display and grid display in alv report

    Hai genious
    i am a new of the abap, i dont know the alv report, i have a small doubt, can u please tell me  what is the main difference between list display and grid display in alv report
    thanks&regards
    chinnu

    Hi ,
    1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.
    2. Some differences:
    a) from abap coding point of view,
    alv list is done with Function modules,
    alv gris can also be done with FM,
    but can also be done using OO concepts.
    b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
    designing the screen layout .
    Hence, in one screen, we can show more
    then one alv grid
    (we cannot show more than
    one alv list on one screen)
    c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
    present on the Presentation Server.
    Hence, it consumes More Memory
    on the presentation server.
    d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
    Whereas
    ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
    e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
    but not in alv list.
    without horizontal lines
    without vertical lines
    without cell merging during sorts
    display total lines above the entries
    I hope it helps.

  • What are the Oracle Home and GRID home directory locations for Oracle 12c (12.1.0.5) release

    Hello All,
    I plan to install and configure Oracle 12c Cloud Control console on a single standalone server and the version is Oracle 12.1.0.5. All the databases which are installed across in the entire farm/landscape are these versions:
    Oracle 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.1 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC Enterprise Edition
    All Oracle databases across these versions will use the same version of Oracle Grid since ASM is used for all the Oracle database across Production/Test/Development databases. The OS is RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.3, OEL 6.3 versions.
    When installing the Oracle 12c Cloud Control what is the Oracle and Grid Home directory location need to set to. Please let me know if there are any other additional configurations needed?
    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
    Regards,
    Abhijit

    First off, the only EM CC release out right now is 12.1.0.2, not sure where you got 12.1.0.5 (DB Plugin maybe?).   
    Second, you're confusing EM CC homes with DB/Grid homes. 
    EM CC will need it's own Oracle Home (i.e. /opt/oracle/product/em_12.1.0.2).   You will need to provide repository database connection information, but EM does not care what home the db or grid is installed in.
    I would recommend reviewing the documentation as well as the references on OTN -

  • Create element at center of artboard, move to next artboard and repeat

    Hey All! I've been lurking around here for quite some time and i've always been able to find what i needed. Until now. =)
    I'm writing a Javascript to create multiple rectangles on the center of the active artboard and then repeat for all remaining artboards. However, i'm getting hung up on how to shift focus to the next artboard. I've read about  "setActiveArtboardIndex();" but whenever i try to use this feature, i get the error "setActiveArtboardIndex(); is not a function".
    Here's the code i'm working with. Could anyone please tell me how to get the loop to switch to the next artboard before creating the next set of color blocks?
    //Beginning of Script
    #target illustrator
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var docRef = app.activeDocument
    else {
    alert("No Document Open");
    //Add Color Block Layer
    artLayers.locked = true;
    function existBlockLayer(layers, name) {
        for (i=0; i<docRef.layers.length; i++){
            if (layers[i].name===name) return true;
        return false;
    if (existBlockLayer(docRef.layers,"Color Blocks")) {
        var removeLayer = artLayers.getByName("Color Blocks");
        removeLayer.locked = false;
        removeLayer.remove();
        var blockLayer = docRef.layers.add();
        blockLayer.name = "Color Blocks"
    else {
        var blockLayer = docRef.layers.add();
        blockLayer.name = "Color Blocks"
    blockLayer.locked = false;
    //Get Document Swatches
    var swatchList = docRef.swatches;
    var artLayers = docRef.layers
    var aB = docRef.artboards
    var colorList = [];
    for(var k=0; k< swatchList.length; k++) {
        if (swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "thru-cut" && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "[registration]"//
        && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "[none]" && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "cut line"){
           colorList.push(swatchList[k].name);
    //Create 1 Color Block per Swatch and Apply Swatch
    for (var a=0; a<aB.length; a++) {
        var aBLeft = aB[a].artboardRect[0];
        var aBRight = aB[a].artboardRect[2]
        var aBTop = aB[a].artboardRect[1]
        var aBBottom = aB[a].artboardRect[3]
        var W = (aBRight/2);
        var H = (aBBottom/2);
        var posH = (H/2);
        var posW = (W/2);
        alert(W + " width " + H + " height");
        var activeArtboard = aB[a];
        //var aBPlus = setActiveArtboardIndex(a);
        for(var c=0,len=colorList.length;c<len;c++){
            var newBlock = docRef.pathItems.rectangle(posH, posW,10,10);
            newBlock.stroked = false;
        for (var i=0; i < colorList.length; i++) {
            docRef.pathItems[i].fillColor=docRef.swatches.getByName(colorList[i]).color;
    artLayers.locked = false;
    blockLayer.zOrder (ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);
    blockLayer.locked = true;
    Thanks in advance all!

    woah... ok. so what  you posted didn't really work (i had made a revision to that part of the code after my initial post. i realized i was dividing by two twice, so i removed one of those. as a result, i had to remove this "var posW = aBLeft+(aBRight + aBLeft)/2" and i had to add the right edge and left edge instead of subtracting).. but i removed some stuff and switched my variables and now it does work. this is what i ended up doing
    for (var a=0; a<aB.length; a++) {
        var aBLeft = aB[a].artboardRect[0];
        var aBRight = aB[a].artboardRect[2]
        var aBTop = aB[a].artboardRect[1]
        var aBBottom = aB[a].artboardRect[3]
        var posH = (aBRight+aBLeft)/2;
        var posW = (aBBottom+aBTop)/2;
        var activeArtboard = aB[a];
        docRef.rulerOrigin[aBLeft, aBTop]
        aB.setActiveArtboardIndex(a);
        makeBlocks();
    So.. i'm really glad that it's working.. but i don't really know why it is.. as has been the bane of my existence as a self teaching coder.. if you have a moment, could you explain what's different about my part and your correction? I'm sure something like that will come up again in the future and i'd love to know where i went wrong. =)
    I really really appreciate your help, kind friend. pixxxel schubser
    Oh and one more thing, if you could. Is there a cleaner way for me to negate those certain swatches? I know i can put them in an array,  but it doesn't seem to work when it comes time to say "if swatchList[k].name != [array of colors not to use]". I'd like this thing to be as nice and clean as possible when i surprise my boss with it.. Almost like it looks like i knew what i was doing.

  • Problem with editing the size of artboard and objects in illustrator!

    I was using a custom size of artboard in illustrator, but I now I want to change it to A4 size for printing. However, when I change it to a A4 size artboard, the size of objects on that artboard remain unchange. As a result these objects do not fit the new size of artboard. Are there any way that I can change both the size of artboard and objects at once? Thank you!

    Probably not.  Don't suppose you have a proportion scale handy?  Alright, don't worry about it.  Give me the size of your original ( in inches ) and the size of A4 ( in inches ), I can give you the scale percentage ( you input into the scale dialog box ).  Whatever you do, keep your original file and do the enlargement on a "copy" of the original.  You already have the new artboard, not it is just a simple matter of enlarging the artwork to fit the new size.

  • CS5 - how to delete artboard AND the art on it

    Hello!
    Is there a way to delete an artboard and everything on it with one command?  I always have to do <shift><o> and <delete> for the artboard, then <esc> and select the art to delete it.

    it's doable with a script, but still 3 clicks away...I don't know if it is more productive for you.
    #target Illustrator
    /* CS5 Only. Deletes the active artobard
        along with the contents. Select something before running.

  • ALV BLOCK and GRID to move right in screen

    Dear all,
      How to move the reuse_alv_block_display and grid display to little right side of screen and also it should go back to the previous screen clicking the back button.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    Exporting
    This code will start your screen at column 4 and line 5.
    SCREEN_START_COLUMN = 4
    Screen_start_line                 = 5.
    And you header will come in every page for that you have to define a routine
    Form top_of_page.
    Endform.
    and pass this routine name name to your REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY FM.
    Check this code for the example of TOP_OF_PAGE.

  • Move all fields and grid lines to the the right

    I have a report where I want to insert two new fields to the left of all the existing columns.  Can I move all of my fields and grid lines to the right at once?  I don't want to start at the right and drag each field out to the right two inches, etc.  Hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this at once.  Thanks.

    Thanks - that I know.  Really would like to see the grid lines move with it.  Kind of like when you adjust columns in a table in ms-word.  You can move a left most column and shift the others right of it in one motion.

  • Abap Objects generating List Trees and Grids

    Hi Friends,
      Please provide me the Information for how to work with ABAP OBJECTS creating(and manipulating)the combination of List Trees and Grids.

    There are a couple of examples programs,  You can start by checking out transaction DWDM for some of the basic ABAP oo controls.  You can also check out any program which begins with BCALV* for examlple of ALV grids, trees, and lists.

  • Loupe and Grid view rendering not as good as Develop view.

    I recently see that while using LR 5.6 the images rendered in the loupe and grid views do not look nearly as good as the same image displayed in the develop view.  I have screen grabs if you'd like to see them below.  The Loupe and grid are not as saturated and the gradient in the sky is not nearly as smooth.  If I bounce between 'E' and 'D' it is pretty obvious.  Once in a while the 'E' (loupe) view looks the same.  I'm afraid that I will delete an image based on what I see in the Loupe or do unnecessary edits on an image.  When I exported to jpg, the images looked pretty good.
    Grid:
    Loupe:
    Develop:

    As far as what could be contributing to a difference, other than an actual bug:
    LR Previews are stored as AdobeRGB JPGs, so Library previews go from LR-Internal color profile to AdobeRGB to Display color profile, whereas Develop previews go directly from LR-Internal color profile to Display color profile.  If there are some colors that are outside of AdobeRGB then some conversion may occur.  The conversion to 8-bit JPG is also probably adding banding that Develop wouldn’t show.  There might also be Relative vs Perceptual color profile conversion differences occurring.  I don’t know the specifics of which is used for the Adobe color profile conversion and whether what you’re seeing is outside the expected variations.
    If you view at less than 1:1/100% zoom, especially with Fit or Fill, then small details that vary across the group of original image pixels that are displayed as one display pixel can be averaged differently due to differences in the downsampling algorithms used between computing Library file previews and computing Develop display previews where Develop’s is built for speed because it occurs in real-time after every slider movement, where Library previews are computed in the background and so can use a more accurate resampling algorithm.  Usually this is only a difference in sharp/smoothness but it can also manifest as a difference in tone if there are lots of tiny noise spots getting averaged together inaccurately in Develop or more accurately in Library.
    Since I can see only a tiny difference between Library and Develop on my monitor in this particular example, I can't imagine that small difference is enough to reject the Library version and accept the Develop version.  Maybe you're seeing others with more differences?

  • New implementation - Client having issues with RAC and Grid on Windows

    Client is starting a new implmenetation on Windows 2008 R1, Oracle 11.1.0.7. They have a 3 node RAC and Grid Control. They are having a number of issues and support is working through those issues. They are asking if there are clients on RAC and Grid on Windows. The Wiki shows a few customers on Windows, but was hoping to get some feedback. Tks.

    There are lots of customer applications that are based on Windows RAC. And as mentioned above, it is very well supported by Oracle.
    However, because of the security vulnerabilities of Windows, I've observed that most of the financial institutions and listed companies opt for unix based servers for all high profile applications and run only low to medium risk application on Windows.
    Regarding maintanence issues, I guess it's going to be pretty much the same; there shall always be lots of bugs, lots of patches and updates just like an yother software; doesn't really matter if you are on Unix or Windows systems. As long as you purchase support, it's all good.
    It's pretty much same concern regarding Grid Control on windows.
    Cheers.

  • How do I undo  rulers and grids

    Hope do I undo rulers and grids. I have tried to uncheck everything and even got out of photoshop and came back in and still every singel image has a grid on it.

    A recent tip I learned is to toggle off the grid (Cmd/Ctrl '),then reset your workspace. Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials (for example).
    If they keep returning, then I would think corrupt preferences.
    You can reset those by holding down Ctrl-Alt-Shift and double-clicking on the PS icon. You should get a dialog asking if you want to reset your prefs. Confirm and hopefully this goes away. But that's drastic, you have set up your old settings.
    Cmd/Ctrl ' (apostrophe) toggles the grid so you don't have to drill down into the menus.

  • Dock question:  Can I turn off the expansion/condensing effects of Fan and Grid view?

    Hi!
    Can I turn off the Dock menu expansion/condensing animations related to Fan and Grid view (and the condensing effect of List view)?  I find the expansion/condensing animations slow and detracting from an efficient workflow.  I would rather have menus pop up immediately so I can instinctively move the mouse cursor where I can anticipate a file to be located once grid/fan view window launches, rather than have to track the expansion animation with the mouse cursor so that I can select the desired file once it lands in its fixed position.
    Is there any known backdoor way to cease these showboating animations?
    For the dock to be such a major addition to the Mac OS (when compared to OS 9), I am surprised that there isn't greater customization for it.  Speaking of which, why can't we have the option of having more than one dock, for example?  I would like to have one mounted to the bottom of my screen for applications, but also have one on the left of my screen for commonly-accessed files and folders.
    I am all for stock settings that help to streamline features for users as a baseline, but the more tweakable options the better.  I pay a premium for Apple products; who are they to tell me I can have only one dock?!  ;p
    I've taken a look at Docker and Deeper, but neither delivered the goods.  Thanks so much!
    P.S.  I am still using Snow Leopard.  I haven't heard of new dock options for Lion, so please clarify if I am missing out on a Lion innovation.
    Thanks again!

    Take a look at Secrets, OnyX, or Tinker Tools. All of those have various undocumented preference settings that affect various animations.

  • RAC and Grid Computing

    Hi,
    I am trying to understand the connection between RAC and Grid Computing.
    In RAC, we can have multiple instance of the same physical database and if all these instances are running on n* separate machines then we have n+ set of processes to take care of computation.
    Isn't this summarise the Grid computing as well or is it something entirely different. Please share.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Billy already answered well.
    Litte Note:
    Timeline of Oracle Databases:
    1992: Oracle version 7 appeared with support for referential integrity, stored procedures and triggers.
    1997: Oracle Corporation released version 8, which supported object-oriented development and multimedia applications.
    1999: The release of Oracle8i aimed to provide a database inter-operating better with the Internet (the i in the name stands for "Internet"). The Oracle8i database incorporated a native Java virtual machine (Oracle JVM, aka "Aurora").
    2001: Oracle9i went into release with 400 new features, including the ability to read and write XML documents. 9i also provided an option for Oracle RAC, or "Real Application Clusters", a computer-cluster database, as a replacement for the Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) option.
    2003: Oracle Corporation released Oracle Database 10g, which supported regular expressions. (The g stands for "grid"; emphasizing a marketing thrust of presenting 10g as "grid computing ready".)
    2005: Oracle Database 10.2.0.1—aka Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10gR2)—appeared.
    2007: Oracle Corporation released Oracle Database 11g for Linux and for Microsoft Windows.
    Future (*Just a guess*): Oracle Database will release version 12c. (The c stands for "cloud"; emphasizing a marketing thrust of presenting 12c as "Cloud Computing ready".)
    Oracle has released products with "C" of the "Cloud" (e.g Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c)
