How is tracking measured in Illustrator (ems)?

Hi,
I'm no novice when it comes to illustrator. But I am NOT a type guy. I've used the tracking dialog to adjust character spacing when needed, but I never knew how many units of meausurement each tick represents.
So let's say I have 8point text and it's tracked at 50.
How many ems is that?

Jacob Bugge wrote:
s,
If T is the tracking (in integers),
S is the type size in p,
the tracking in em is:
T*S/1000
I guess I'm not getting the conversion. So what would tracking of 10 equal in decimals of an em?
Presuming 8pt type size, that would be:
10*8/1000 = 0.08 em.
The tracking of 50 according to the OP, still with 8pt, would be:
50*8/100 = 0.4 em,
as Scott said in the first post.
No.
Jacob has gone further than the OP requested. As a measure of ems, tracking of 50 is 50/1000 em, or 5% em. That’s 5% em at 8 point, or 5% em at 500 point, or 0.5% em at any point size. But converting to a linear measure, 5% em at 8 point is 0.05 x 8, or 0.4 points.

    daitranthanhoa,
    What happens if you try to set in in the Characters palette (you may need to click Show Options in the flyout)?
    If it fails to work, there may be something wrong which makes it worth looking at the following list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    As an example, this is from BBC Technical Requirements for HD material:
    3.1.1 Stereo line-up tones
    All stereo tracks must use EBU 1KHz tone (left ident). All tones must be sinusoidal, free of distortion and phase coherent between channels.
    Digital Audio Reference level is defined as 18dB below the maximum coding value (-18dBFS) as per EBU recommended practice R68.
    See also:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/dq/pdf/tv/tv_delivery_to_network_programmes_v1.2-2011.pdf
    for full document.
    And for BBC Radio:
    Not every Network requires tone. Check the delivery requirements with the commissioning network or click here.
    Reference tone, where used, should be at -18dBFS or PPM 4 on A, B and/or M.
    If submitting material with reference tone, tone and programme material must be have been monitored and measured through the same technical chain. The level of the tone must be equivalent to 0dBu and no less than 8dB below peak audio level for the programme material.
    THE LEVEL OF TONE MUST HAVE A KNOWN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME MATERIAL AND THIS MUST BE STATED; for example: “Tone at 8dB below peak programme level”.
    As a newcomer to digital sound (my background is camera) I confess to being somewhat confused. We are normally told to record at the highest level possible. So for voice podcasts I tend to record at about -6dB below peak for maximum volume, distributeds on MP3 files.
    But I can underatand that televison and radio especially for analogue transmission) may have limited headroom, hence the requirement for -18dB peak = 0dBM.
    I remember when we first rented out Digital Betacam cameras, some recordists were recording almost everything OVER -18dBM.
    I suspect that until we have an all-digital world, these requiremnents will still be in place.
    Many thanks to all. It's a ghreat community!

  • How to track the flow of Sharepoint SSRS report requests to troubleshoot slowness

    How to track the flow of requests of Integrated SSRS report links in Sharepoint.
    We are using SSRS with Sharepoint for reporting purpose. The issue is some of the reports get generated fast and some other reports generation is very slow. When the sql query of these reports RDL file is executed, the records are shown fast.
    Also even on clicking the "Add Subscription" link of "Manage Subscriptions" of a report is very slow for some reports, while it is fast for other reports.
    I tried enabling SQL profiler to track the requests.  I have checked profiler log for the SQL statements with exec sp_executesql. But they are not helpful.
    Pls advice on how to track the request of flow of SSRS report request in sharepoint and how to troubleshoot the slowness in  "Add Subscription" link, response of some reports.

  • How to track Service Item in Install Base

    Hi,
    How to track a Service Item in Install Base. If I'm right, when we define the item as Service Item in Inventory, Install Base Trackable cannot be enableed...
    Scenario:
    Customer is doing some services to its customer which has a contract for 1 Year. So we are creating service as Service Item in Inventory and then we create a contract for this service item.
    How do we track this in Install Base?
    Please help
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pavithara R.

    Hi,
    A service item by definition need not be tracked in IB. The service may be provided on a machine or asset which will be tracked in IB. Since service item is not a tangiable item, it is not IB trackable.
    Kindly explain the business scenario to track the service item in IB.

  • How to track changes

    Hi friends,
        I am a XI consultant. My query is regarding how to track the chages.I heard that CDHDR and CDPOS tables are used to store the information regarding the changes made to the objects/tables in SAP.My scenario is i have a table having few fields related to P.o and a flag indiacating Insert/Update/Delete, so upon the creation/upadate/deletion of a P.O(related to perticular WBS Element) i want the data to be  transfered into my table automatically.
       Is there any standard transaction available to do that....means i want to track all the P.Os under a perticular WBS element..
    If not Do we have to write a Abap program and use CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS,CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS functions to store the data into internal tables ?????
    Regards,

    HI gowtham,
    Yes, u are right,
    we have to right some abap code.
    "CHANGE DOCUMENTS" in SAP Terminology
    1 The same thing which u are asking
    we had developed here. For Eg : Any change
    in the material master will be detected
    and a mail will be sent to the concerned
    employee.
    THIS WILL ALSO DETECT WHICH FILEDS HAVE CHANGED.
    IT CAN ALSO GIVE, The Old Value, And The New Value.
    2. This Mechanism is called CHANGE DOCUMENTS in
    SAP Terminology
    3. 2 Fuction Modules are Required.
    (They will fetch necessary data from CDHDR,CDPOS)
    CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
    CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
    4. The First FM gives list of all
    records ( with change no) which have changed.
    5. Loop at the above and the second FM will
    provide the details (old-val, new-val) for
    each record.
    6. While using 1st Fm, i used docclass as 'MATERIAL'.
    BCOS
    the concept of change documents is applicable
    to other type of documents also (depends upon
    customization)

  • How to track changes on Infoprovider?

    Hi Gurus,
    Could you please provide the steps of how to track changes on Infoprovider? I had 4 Infocubes (belonging to the same info area) that contains compressed data - but now when I tried to display the data, all the cube are empty - no data were aechived.
    I would like to track any actions that were made on those cubes.
    Thanks

    thanks Kumar for helping me out here
    I tried RSD_CUBE_LOG_DELE function module - It came out "no logs found in the database"
    I tried tables RSDRDLOGHEADER and RSDDSTATDELE which provide me deletion informations like user name... but since we have partially archived those specific infoproviders in the same period of time where I think eveything was gone from cube, I am not able to related when and who the data that were not archived were deleted from Infocube
    Under manage Infocube --> archiving tab, all the created archiving request are only for certain dates (below 2006). I know that we had data above 2006.
    Kindly provide additional inputs.
    Thanks

  • How to track changes for the config done directly in quality client-Reg

    Hi,
    In our system the landscape is Dev,Quality,Production.
    For some transactions we will do the config in dev and transport to other clients or maintain in each client manually.Eg QS41,CI41.
    In my case ,I have did the config in CI41 and transported to other clients.But someone user get in to CI41 in Quality client and did some changes. Now how to track the user Id through which the changes has been performed  in QA directly.
    Regards
    SB

    hi
    you can use SE09 for displaying the transport no where you can see all the request nos ,from there you can check
    also use the same transaction Cl41 do some changes like description ,then press the save button ,system will prompt you the previous saved Request No and make a note of it .cancel the request generation ,then you can trace them in SE09
    also check whether you can find any change documents is available

    Hi All,

    Best Regards
    Sharad

    Hi,
    You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
    Refer the example below;
    Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
    Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
    Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
    Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
    Hope this helps.
