How do I lock a reference point?

I need the reference point to always be in the top left hand corner. How do I do it?
THanks in advance

Thank you for the response.
With the selection tool active there is a little grid of 9 square dots in the extreme left of the toolbar. On my previous installation this was always set to the top left square. I have now installed CS3 onto a new machine, Mac Snow Leopard, and it defaults to the centre square everytime I open a document. I find this very irritating when scaling images and would like to have the previous condition. How I did it the 1st time I do not know.

  • How do I keep the Reference Point setting at top, left

    The nine-by-nine grid in the top left corner (where the vertical and horizontal rulers meet) won't stay selected as the top left setting depending on what I select in my document. Sometimes it's the top left, sometimes it's the bottom right and sometimes it's the top middle. How can I set it so that every box I select in a document will give me the top left reference point (X-Y coordinate)?
    I'm proofing a document to make sure it's set-up correctly and all the page-heading colored boxes are  starting at the same X-Y coordinate, have the same width and the next box down on the page starts at the proper location. None of these boxes were created on a master page so I have to check each one. (And even if they were, they've all been released from the master to change their colors and place images.) In other words, on one page there is a colored box across the top that is 10p6 high, so the next box down (vertically) needs to start at the X-Y coordinate of 0, 10p6. But when I click on it the reference point is not always at the top left. So I click on the box, then click on the top left reference point, check the X-Y location and height of the box, then click on the next box down the page and click on the top left reference point and compare the X-Y location to the previous box's height.
    I have selected the top left reference point with no documents open to set that as my default preference but I didn't create this document.

    @Peter / @FergyMac – in case of rotated objects the reference point will change from object to object.

  • How do I link a reference point in one PDF to a specific page in a different PDF? I want it to open link in a new window AT the specific page.

    I have a paper with multiple reference points that I need to link to 3 other pdfs. Each time I create a link in the master PDF, I need to open a file in a new window and point to a specific page in the other pdf. I cannot get it to work.

    Hmmmm, just tried that and used the magnify glass to capture the specific page in the second pdf, but when I tried the link, it doesn't open a new window, it sits within the original pdf and I can't go back to the page I need to. What am I missing/

    Thanks for all contributions, much appreciated.
    I'm apologizing for not giving points, in my opinion it's a
    somewhat childish concept.
    Mike #1+ #4, thanks for taking the time.
    Carlos #5: this doesn't work here with Snap to Grid.
    It works with Snap to Point. This is a true alternative,
    probably intended by the programmers.
    I'm still using CS2, there may be a difference.
    JET #9: thanks for the hint. Making ten years long
    arrowheads in PageMaker manually, I had missed
    the possibilities in InDesign. 'Help' doesn't mention
    arrows or arrowheads. It's a feature in Stroke, simply
    accessible by Start and End.
    The very good news is this: Adding an arrowhead to
    a line doesn't make it longer!
    Perhaps the Illustrator staff should consult the InDesign
    experts...
    Problems solved - I can use InDesign and my own Post-

  • Set reference point in objects and measure distance

    1) How can I set the reference point in objects?
      for example:  
            a) exactly in the center of a pad or a via
            b) exactly in any corner of the board outline
    2) How can I measure the distance of two points with the maximum accuracy?
      for example:
            a) measure the distance between two pads or via
            b) measure the lenght of a line

    dear Semaphore, thanx for your response.
    I already use the ways that you refer me, but like this I can't measure with accuracy, or setting the zero reference is not guarantee that I set it exactly in the center of via or pad.
    With grid seted in smallest option is difficult to target the center of a pad, and also is difficult to target the point in the edje of a line with accuracy. With ruler I also have the same problem, I cant be sure that the ruler is pointing exactly to the center of a via or pad.
    That I need is a kind of a snap option to attach the mouse-cursor exactly in the center of an object, that can help me to target exactly in the center and have an accurate measurement or accurate set the zero reference without mistake.
    Any other suggestion for accurate measurements?

  • How to find that 2 references are pointing to same obejct??

    how to find that 2 references are pointing to same obejct??
    i feel that hashCode and equals will not work as far as i understood from javadoc

    I wnat to know above because i want to check if ps in
    this loop is same object or on each iteration new
    object is created
    for (int i = 0; i < 10 ;i ++)
    PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
    ps.setInt(1,i);

    Here's a better question. Why in the world did you put that statement in the loop in the first place, unless the variable 'sql' is modified within?

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

  • How can I lock a clip to storyline, timeline or song in Final Cut Pro?

    My friends and I made our own version of Pharrell Williams happy video and I'm trying to edit it. The thing is that there are places where we sing and we want the song to match our lips so how can I lock the clip in place? I'm very new to editing and FCP so please write detailed directions.

    when it comes to 're-edit' things.. such as:
    2014 FIFA World Cup on ESPN Commercial: I Believe
    which 'inspired' me to do that:
    http://youtu.be/du4xWTtYKVY
    (the kids are my son's team)
    I drag the original into the storyline
    I set Markers (keyboard: m) to the original edit-points
    I have the pre-selections of my material in the Events browser, set edit-mode to 'video only'/shift-2
    set playhead to marker (magnetic is a good help), hit q
    'fine tune' the edit (edit/colors/effects/...)
    select clip and cmd-shift-arrow-down to apply final edit to the storyline
    jump to next marker (ctrl-' )
    That is a very fast way to 'dub' professional edits; and: I'm learning a lot, e.g. it is not only the edit-points, but the 'content'  which makes a good edit 'flow' (which lacks my version) ...

  • Set reference point for multiple objects in the middle of the document

    Hello Community,
    I want to mirror a layout.
    So I:
    1. Select all the objekts
    2. Set the reference point to the middle
    3. Mirror the objects
    BUT
    The reference point is the middle of all the OBJECTS. That leads to several objects crossing the border of my document because the layout isn't spread out evenly.
    I want to middle of the DOCUMENT to be the reference point. How can I do that?
    Thanks
    Christian

    Have you fiugured this out on your own?
    I just played around a bit and found a method, but it's not exactly intuitive. Select the object(s), then switch to the Rotate tool. The center of rotation will be defined as one of the transformation handles, but you can drag it to anywhere you like, so move it to the point that you want as the center of your mirror. Hold down the Alt/Opt key, and click the reflect button to make a mirrored copy. Without the modifier key the original objects will mirror their position around the repositioned reference.

  • How can I lock the file in use

    Dear All, I transfer the large text file to Solaris 10 server and copy the this file with transfer not success to another path. but I can open the file with end of file. How can I lock the file with transfer not successfully.

    Locking on UNIX is cooperative, not manditory. That means that all applications need to check for the lock explicitly and then not use the file if the lock exists.
    But if something is accessing the file beyond your control, locking isn't going to prevent it.
    If you do control all the access points, then take a look at lockf or flock functions.

  • Reference point in Non Cumulative

    Hi,
    The noncum would not contain any data, but instead would track additions to inventory (inflow) and consumption from inventory (outflow). We use the same concept on AR for debits and credits to have a balance at a specific date.

  • Moving controls about on a VI's front panel. How do you get a reference to a 'grouped' set of controls?

    Basic problem (annoying, if not disasterous - but common - at least for me):
    When you are trying to sktick two different VIs together and you copy the block diagram of one to the other, it sticks all the controls in the middle of nowhere.  THen you have to spend about 10 mins dragging the controls screen by screen from one end of the diagram to the other - sometimes over 15 screens.  Surely there has to be a better way?
    ** Incidentally you might think that labview would have these sort of settings in the 'properties' of the control on the right click menu - but no joy.
    I guess the obvious thing is that you can write a VI which will get a reference for a particular control and then say set it's position (x,y) to zero.  Only thing is that generally there will be a selection of controls, and often they will be organised nicely - after getting them to zero you don't want to have to reorganise them again.  I tried grouping the controls, but then the problem is - how do you get a reference to a group of controls.  If you move one of them it doesn't keep the spatial arrangement.  At this point i have got lost - and easily spent more time than it is worth fixing this problem.
    Any thoughts?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If I understand you correctly, when you copy the block diagram from the second VI to the first, the controls of the second VI end up in far left field on the front panel of the first, correct?  I think these added controls will maintain their relative locations among themselves so you should be able to find them all as a group out in left field. Then it's simply a matter of how to get them to enmasse join the rest of the controls on the front panel. There are a couple of easy ways to do this. There is a button on the toolbar at the top of the front panel window that allows you to reorder/group/ungroup front panel objects. You can select all controls/indicators out in left field and "group" them together. (As an alternative, you can also drop them all onto a tab control which will act as container for them). Then you select this group and with it selected scroll back over to the existing front panel and find and ALSO select (hold down shift key) a control/indicator from the existing group too. Then with BOTH the existing control selected and the new group (or tab control with the new group) selected you use the ALIGN buttons to quickly bring a corner of the new group into alignment with the old control. At that point you can ungroup the new stuff and move it where it needs to be.

    Hi venkateshwar,
    Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
    SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
    •     Read Lock(Shared Locked)
    protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
    the locked area of the table
    •     Write Lock(exclusive lock)
    protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
    the locked area of the table.
    •     Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
    works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
    same transaction.
