How to deal with non-continuous shapes and graphic styles

I am not sure how to frame this question so I will try to describe the problem.
Imagine I have two shapes. One is a hollowed out circle (like a doughnut chart). The second is a smaller filled in circle. The smaller filled in circle is then poitioned inside the hoolowed out one, so you have like a target but with no "middle" band. What I would like to do is apply a graphic style to the COMBINED shape. The problem is that if I select both shapes and apply the style, each shape will have its own style, whereas what I want is for the style to be distributed over the two shapes as if they were one. And if I use the shape builder tool, when I join the two shapes, from the outer hollowed out circle to the inner filled in circle, I fill in the shape for the "middle band" whereas I want that middle band to be empty.
You can probably tell I don't know Illustrator and come from Photoshop. In PS, I would simply select my two shapes and apply a style. Since my selection forms a shape that ignores the middle band, the style applies evenly to the whole selection. Can I do something similar in Ilustrator? In reality my network of shapes is more complex that the example above and I do need to keep it a vector.
Thank you for your suggestions.

There are really two types of Graphic Styles - Object level styles and Group level styles. There is no way to tell which style is which. So if you have an Object level Style and try to apply it to a group of objects or often a compound shape, you get each individual object having the style. If you have a Group level style and try to apply it to only an object, you often get nothing applied.
It perhaps sounds like you have an Object level style and are trying to apply it to a group.
There's no way to convert an Object level style to a Group level style or vice versa. The best (and pretty much only) way I've found to get around this is to apply the style to teh correct level then make a note of all the style settings, select the other level and recreate the style for that level.
Whether or not a style applies correctly has a great deal to do with specific aspects of the style in addition to what level the style was generated from. This is a frustrating aspect of Graphic Styles.

  • How to deal with changing in Make-to-order style sales order?

    Hi, SAP experts,
    our situation and requirement:
    my client use make-to-order style to create sales order, normally one item in sales order.
    And this item stand for a dummy material, which include several components.
    Limited with material purchase delivery schedule, sales orders need to be made as planned sales
    orders to drive MRP to run out material requirement in ahead. Therefore, planned sales orders will
    often changed as final assigned customer request.
    1. Could be a possible to define components level to release sales order?
    2. If components in sales orders is replaced or added, even whole sales order released, production order initialized, how to deal with it?
    Scenario one: components in sales order added, modified in sales order, which will automatically create another production order for replacement action? if not, how to do?
    Scenario two: components in sales order replaced, how this sales order requirement transfer to production order?
    3. what about costing calculate for this changing?
    Thanks for your kindly help in advanced,

  • How to deal with a property file and EJB

    Hello,
    I'm quite new to the EJB technology.
    My problem is, how to handle a property file?
    Let's say I have a custom 'property.xml' (that holds some application specific constants) somewhere in my EJB jar or in a related jar (so it is in the classapth).
    Usually (not with EJB) I would write a class (let's name it 'Props', see below) which reads the property file once and initialize some public static members.
    In an object (see below 'MyClass') I would then use 'Props.memberName' if I want to have access to a constant property.
    class with public static constants members; read the file only once; properties are in memory ...
    public class Props
      public static String FOO = null;
      static
        Properties props = new Properties();          
        try
          props.loadFromXML(CConstants.class.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("propertyFile.xml"));
          FOO = props.getProperty("FOO");
        catch(Exception e){...}
    }The class that uses the properties<br>
    public class MyClass
      public void doSomething()
        String s = Props.FOO + " BAR";
    }But unfortunately static things are not allowed in EJB ...
    What is the preferred way to get access to the properties?
    To read the file each time an EJB is used, will cause much disc-I/O and xml parsing (this is very unefficient).
    Is there no mechanism to read such things once only?
    I would be very pleased to get an answer, because I don't know how to solve this problem
    Thanks

    Use the @Resource annotation on fields representing the application-specific constants. Override those values as you see fit with the standard ejb-jar.xml file's env-entry element.

  • Solution how to deal with cheap HDMI cables and some VGA adapters.

    I've purchased cheap HDMI cable which I couldn't force to work. Basically after plugging in the screen on my mac blink blue for a second, but then everything is going back to normal, and screen seems to be not recognized. I checked the cable with my friend's mac, and it was working just fine, so I thought hey something is wrong with my mac, either the MiniDisplay Port or Lion (10.7) has some bug (friend is working on (10.6).
    I was experimenting with VGA adapter and it showed that MiniDisplay Port is fine, unfortunatelly it is painfull because quality is lower, and audio has to be plugged in separately. Accidently I've plugged in HDMI while audio was connected regular way and it started. So I figured out that probably grounding in those cheap cable is not sufficient for some macs. So step, by step solution:
    1. Plug in HDMI cable to your TV
    2. Switch TV to the right setting (display given HDMI port)
    3. Connect audio cable to your TV
    4. Connect audio cable to your MAC
    5. Connect HDMI cable to your mac.
    6. Image should appear on your TV, you can change resolution if you like
    7. To enable sound on TV go to System Preferences, choose Sound, Output tab, and choose your HDMI connected TV.
    While testing my VGA adapter which was working fine but I never could make it work with my Panasonic TV, I found a way around. First you have to connect to regular monitor, or TV which is working, and then switch to TV. The reason why it is not working straight is probably to high resolution that mac is trying with this TV. In points:
    1. Plug VGA adapter to monitor or TV that you know it is working.
    2. Plug adapter to your mac
    3. With adapter connected to mac switch VGA cable to your panasonic plasma tv.
    I hope this soultions will help some of you.
    Enjoy!

    Well, I got mine directly from the Apple Store in Amsterdam and I got the most expensive one they had.. iwire.

  • How to deal with " and '

    hi evry one, i have query that insert a text in a table. The problem is that the text contain these caracters : ' and ", so how to deal with them.

    Use PreparedStatement and setString. That should escape the single and double quotes properly for you.
    If you've got a String with double quotes in it you'll just have to escape it properly:
    public class DoubleQuoteTester
        public static void main(String [] args)
            for (int j = 0; j < args.length; ++j)
                System.out.println(args[j]);
    }Here's a typical run:
    java DoubleQuoteTester "I quoted the president as saying, \"I forgot!\"" "Quoth the raven 'Nevermore'"
    I quoted the president as saying, "I forgot!"
    Quoth the raven 'Nevermore'

  • How to deal with conflict and potential conflict classes?

    Some classes are marked as conflict and potential conflict classes in the Classloader Analysis Tool.
    How to deal with them?
    How to use suggested solutions?

    Not double load them.
    Conflicting classes can lead to weird exceptions. One obvious example would be if you package
    an older servlet.jar version into your application and use the weblogic classloading features, such
    as prefer-web-inf-classes, to tell weblogic to use this class instead of the one provided in the
    system classpath. This one example which leads to weird exceptions, such as connot process jsp tag...
    If you really need a the version of the jar for your application, you have to test it through and through
    so that you know you do not run into weird production errors.

  • Mm issue:-how to deal with  gds sent for repairs and again issued for consm

    The main problem is that if something come for repairing it increase the stock for one period and decrease the R and M for that period. And when after 4 months when goods are received after repairing it disturbs the R and M expense in another period.  And this also disturbs the valuation of the material.
    Any one can suggest how to deal with the repairs done to materials without affecting the valuation price of  original material.
    my points is how everyone in india is dealing with goods sent for repairs outside their company.
    what all entries are generated from first receipt of goods in company till  good sent for consumption after received from vendor who repaired the goods.
    all a/c and mm entries

    what we have decided that we would have 2 valuation type
    1. sap-domestic :- normal stock
    2. sap-use/repair :- repaired items.
    All the goods should be received using sap-domestic valuation. from here goods are sent to shop floor. when ever repair is required goods are received in stock thru sap-use-repair at value zero and not moving price specific to sap-use/repair valuation.
    so till goods that require repair and that already repaired are kept in stock, they are kept at 2 different values one is zero and other is moving price specific to valuation type sap-use/repair.
    now goods are sent for repair at zero value but when these goods are received after repair then value of repair will affect the moving price of valution sap-use/rep.
    so this will solve our problem that goods should be received from shop floor to stock for repair at value zero.
    how can we achieve this that goods received from shop floor to stock for repair is received at zero value and not moving price specific to valuation sap-use/rep. where we will have do setting in this vaution type or wherever required.
    pls send some suggestions on it

  • How to deal with deadlock on wwv_flow_data table when http server times out

    There are some threads about a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table. None of them contain a real explanation for this behaviour. In my case I will try to explain what I think is happening. Maybe it helps somebody who is hitting the same matter.
    In my case with APEX 3.2.1 I am navigating from one page to another. Doing this APEX will lock the table wwv_flow_data. As soon as the other page is shown the lock will be released. But now this other page contains a bad performing query (standaard report region). After 5 minutes the http server (modplsql) will time out and present the message "No response from the application server" on the screen. In the meanwhile the query is still running on the database server and the lock stays on the wwv_flow_data table.
    Normal user behaviour will be that the user will use the back button to return to the previous page and tries it again to navigate to the other page or
    the user will try to refresh the page with the bad performing query.
    And voila now you will have a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table since a second session is trying to do the same thing while the first hasn't finished yet.
    How to deal with it?
    First of all. Have a good look at the bad performing query. Maybe you can improve it that it will succeed before the http server will timeout.
    In my case the 11gr1 optimizer couldn't handle a subquery factoring clause in the best way. After changing it back to a classical inline query the problem was solved.
    Secondly you could increase the timeout parameter of the http server. Although this not the best way.
    Maybe it would better if APEX in a next version would release the lock on the table wwv_flow_date earlier or do a rollback just before the moment that the http server is timing out.

    Hello Shmoove,
    I saw your reply here and you probably understand the problems the HTTP 100 response may cause.
    I am trying to send image that was taken by getSnapshot. The problem is that the server respond with this HTTP 100 message.
    I suspect that the reason that my server doesn't recognize the file that I'm sending from J2me is that the "server to client" response to the 100 message comes after the second message of (see what the TCPIP viewer shows down here):

  • How to deal with the growing table?

Should I add a lot of delete commands in the code for each table?Uh, well, yes if you continually add rows to a table the table will grow ... sooner or later you will want to delete rows that are no longer needed. What did you expect? You have to decide what the business rules are to determine when a row can be deleted, and make sure your design allows for such rows to be identified. This is called ..... analysis and design.

    Hi everyone,
    it's just few months that I have started to use Java and since, I've been really confused how to use it. As I've been using C++ before, it's really easy for me to handle a few libraries and keywords and write every thing all by my own. But in Java, TOOOO many libraries and keywords all with different procedures and different cases that really bothers me and I can't understand how to deal with all these. As an example, When I just want to start and write a program, I start searching the net and wow. too many different classes and different Keywords that I get too confused and I prefer not to continue. Would someone please help me and tell me how to find a solution for this essential problem???

  • How to deal with sales in Re_FX

    Hi  Experts
    we have Sales of Villa, apartments and commercel space, how to deal with there scenarios as there is no sales concept in RE-FX. and any how to intigarate with PS for monitaring construction etc.
    any developements if you experts would have done or any suggestions.
    thanks in andance.
    Warm Regards
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    We can;t use RE-FX for sales scenarios, only workaround's are there.
    Create one contract-type for sales and add condition type in conditions as per the payment plan agreed with the customer. It will work for only pre-defined payment plan.
    If you want PS integration with milestone billing, it is not possible through RE-FX. You can use SD module for sales process.
    One of my previous implementations, we have achieved this through development between SAP SD & RE-FX. It is huge development and continuous monitoring is necessary.
    The development is similar to IS-RE (component of ECO), create sales order for sales units. Instead of sales units, we made the development sell rental units through development whenever we created sales order for a rental object, just go to RE object and change the vacancy.
    But this is not advisable to create integration with SD & RE-FX.
