How to separate an object with a 3d effect
How to separate an object with a 3d effect
Hi, I have outlined some text and applied a 3d effect but now I want to separate each letter so I can adjust the colour on the face of the letter with the colour on the extruded part.
I am sure it is probably straight forward but could do with a little help!
Thanks
I think what the OP wants to do is to keep the extruded part the same color and change the face of the letters to different colors. And he/she did mention that the text is outlined.
If that's the case, I can think of two things to do if you want to keep the 3D effect live (i.e., unexpanded).
1. You could apply a stroke to the outlined text, in the color you want for the extruded part. Then just change the fills individually (Tip: view in Outline mode and use the Group Selection tool to select each letter).
2. If you don't like how the stroke looks on the letters, make all the letters the same color — the color you want for the extruded part. Then make a copy of this group of letters. Select the copy, then click in the Appearance panel to to edit the 3D effect. Put the Extruded Depth at Zero. Now chnage the colors to your liking, then align them with the original. Interestingly, you can't just use the Align functions, you have to eyeball it.

How to separate two contact with same name
Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!
FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

Is it possible to scale an object with a grain effect?
Is it possible to scale an object with a grain effect?
It seems that checking "scale strokes and effects" doesn't work for grain at all. Scaling up image makes grain much more delicate and smooth. Any ideas?Jacob,
Thanks! That worked as I wanted to.
Your answer is most appreciated.
Best,

How to use neutralzone object with alarm object?
I need to monitor a tank level for alarm conditions. I have created an alarm object so the user can specify values for the lolo, lo, hi, and hihi. This works fine, except if the tank level hovers around an alarm level setting, too many alarm records are generated. The Lookout Help page for the alarm object says to use a neutralzone object to filter out the minor fluctuations, but I can't find any details on how. So how do I do this? Can I use one alarm object with one neutralzone object for the four alarm settings, or one alarm object with four neutralzone objects, or four alarm and neutralzone object pairs? How do I connect them?
Many thanks,
KenAnother method would be to add a delay before alarming using a DelayOn timer.
Ryan's suggestion would work, but if the process requires decimal precision you cannot use that method.

How sharing a COM object with severeal test dlls in teststand
I have several tests (dlls) accessing a DAQ board (not VI compliant) thanks to a COM object. I would like to keep one instance of this object, passing its reference to each test dll, instead of creating one in each test. How can I do that with TestStand?
You can do one of two things to store a reference to the COM object in the context of TestStand so that you can pass it to successive steps in order for them to all use the same object instance.
First, if you create the object in TestStand with an ActiveX Automation Adapter step, the method call to instantiate the object should return a reference to the object. If you designate an activex reference type local variable as the property to receive the reference during the creation operation, you should be able to pass this into methods that use IDispatch* parameters, or you can use the TestStand API to access the TestStand variable instead.
The second scenario is very similar, in that if you don't create the object in TestStand but inside of a dll instea
d, you can simply pass the parameter back from a function into a TestStand activex reference property variable or use the TestStand API inside of the dll to set the value of an activex reference property to the IDispatch of the object.
To better understand how to use the ActiveX Automation Adapter and ActiveX Reference Variable Types, look at Chapter 13 of the TestStand User Manual under the section entitled "ActiveX Automation Adapter". I have also attached an example to this post that uses the ActiveX Automation Adapter and ActiveX reference datatype in a sequence that writes data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and generates a chart from the data.

How to spin an object with both x and z-rotation in M3G?
I want to spin an object with both x and z-rotation in M3G. I get a good result when I implement this in OpenGL, but the combined rotation doesn't get right when I try to do this in M3G. The x rotation and the z rotation looks like they should when I only use one of them. This is achieved by adding only spinAnimationTrack or rotationAnimationTrack. The problem is that the rotation gets messed up when I add both spinAnimationTrack and rotationAnimationTrack. What am I doing wrong? This is my code:
KeyframeSequence spinKeyframes =
new KeyframeSequence(3, 4, KeyframeSequence.SLERP);
spinKeyframes.setRepeatMode(KeyframeSequence.LOOP);
spinKeyframes.setDuration(4000);
spinKeyframes.setKeyframe(0, 0,
getRotationQuaternion(-50.0f, new float[]{1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}));
spinKeyframes.setKeyframe(1, 2000,
getRotationQuaternion(50.0f, new float[]{1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}));
spinKeyframes.setKeyframe(2, 4000,
getRotationQuaternion(-50.0f, new float[]{1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}));
AnimationTrack spinAnimationTrack =
new AnimationTrack(spinKeyframes,
AnimationTrack.ORIENTATION);
AnimationController animatorS = new AnimationController();
spinAnimationTrack.setController(animatorS);
animatorS.setSpeed(0.4f * speed, 0);
KeyframeSequence rotationKeyframes =
new KeyframeSequence(2, 4, KeyframeSequence.SLERP);
rotationKeyframes.setRepeatMode(KeyframeSequence.LOOP);
rotationKeyframes.setDuration(4000);
rotationKeyframes.setKeyframe(0, 0,
getRotationQuaternion(359.0f, new float[]{0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f}));
rotationKeyframes.setKeyframe(1, 4000,
getRotationQuaternion(0.0f, new float[]{0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f}));
AnimationTrack rotationAnimationTrack1 =
new AnimationTrack(rotationKeyframes,
AnimationTrack.ORIENTATION);
rotationAnimationTrack1.setController(animatorR1);
animatorR1.setSpeed(0.4f * speed, 0);
mesh1.addAnimationTrack(spinAnimationTrack);
mesh1.addAnimationTrack(rotationAnimationTrack1);People often make this harder than it is. It's usually not necessary to using clipping paths or to make cuts confined to the areas of overlap to make objects appear to intertwine. Usually, you can simply cut where objects do not overlap. There are no masks, clipping paths, pathfinders, etc., involved in this knot:
Your specific situation may be somewhat complicated by the use of drop shadows, depending on the specific parameters.

How to setup Send Object With Note
Hi all,
I was trying to send a message to external email.
So, for eg, in ME23N, I click on this "Send object with note" to a address which is type U.
And in SCOT, business object is send as htm file type.
However, when I receive this mail that i send, there is no url being generated.
Below is the content of the email:
If you are not forwarded automatically, use the following link:
If the link is not to a valid server, log on to the SAP system and check the following object:
System: DEV
Client: 123
BOR Object Type: BUS2012
BOR Object Key: 4000000001
Which setting am I missing?
FYI, I'm using ECC 6. Extended notification has been setup.
Thanks
Edited by: Jack Wong on Jan 24, 2008 5:07 AMHi Martin,
Thanks for your reply.
However, I don't think it's because of the mail server deleted the attachment.
The htm file is attached to my external mail.
And the htm file said that it will forward me to the link.
I'm wondering which setting am I missing.
Thanks. -
How to pull the job with the latest effective date in PSFT?
Hello,
I am running the PSFT 9.1.1 connector workforcefullsync.
I ran into a problem when the user has multiple job records. Each time that the user job is updated, a new job record is created. So, when the data comes from PSFT, for a user, we have multiple jobs records with different effective date (For example <EFFDT IsChanged="Y">1996-10-21</EFFDT>). OIM is only interested in the latest EFFDT.
Question 1: is it something that we can set on the PeopleSoft side, so that only the job with the highest EFFDT is sent to OIM?
Question 1b: is this is not easy to accomplish from the PSFT side, can I use transformation in the connector to only pull the job record with the highest effective date?
Question 2: if the EFFDT shows a date in the future (HR wants to disable a person in the future), does OIM ignore this change until the sysdate is after that EFFDT date?
Thanks
PS: workforcefullsync worked fine if the file contains only 1 job per employee. When the xml files contain multiple job records, I got the error:
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - oracle.iam.connectors.psft.common.handler.impl.PSFTWorkForceSyncReconMessageHandlerImpl : handleMessage
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - 1
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - Description : 1
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
Edited by: user12049102 on Mar 22, 2010 12:06 PMHello,
When the PSFT team sends a message over to OIM to disable a user with today's date, the user got disabled fine in OIM. A reconciliation event is created.
When the PSFT team sends a message over to OIM to disable a user with a future date for EFFDT, let's say 3/31/2010, no reconciliation event was created.
Does OIM store this information somewhere so that it will process it later on?
It's a good thing that OIM does not disable the user who has an EFFDT in the future, but we don't want that record to be forgotten.
Please help.

How to make an object with a transparent background
i know this should be simple, but my use of photoshop has really fallen off and i can't recall how to do this.
i have masked an object from a jpg file and pasted it into a new document created with background contents transparent and i do have the checkered background. yet, when i save this document, the background appears to be filled in with white. is it really white or is it really transparent. i even created a second layer to paste the object into and saved as a pdf, but the same thing happens.
if i flatten the image, the background also becomes white.
basic stuff, i know, but i don't remember and the help isn't helping me.Tiff supports transparency and is a widely-accepted format. You may want to try giving the printer that format.
Gif and png can only be saved if you're using RGB images. If they are not RGB, then save as TIFF and you should be fine.
If you actually are missing a bunch of plug-ins and/or file format options, it's possible that they have somehow been deleted. You'd have to reinstall Photoshop to get them back, or copy the contents of the plug-ins folder from another computer. SFW is a plug-in that resides within an import/export folder in the plug-ins folder, so it does sound like you are missing some things that need to be re-installed. -
How to LInk Business Object with Portal
HI,
My exact requirement is that i want to trigger a event of BUS10001006 business object through Portal. In Portal i have an iview with a parameter and a Delete button. I enter the Material number and then press the delete button. On Trigger of delete button a BO event shoud trigger which in turn will trigger the Workflow.
The Workflow part is done but we are not sure how to link the BO/event of BO with Portal so that it triggers workflow.
Regards
Naveen GuptaBOBJ integration into portal is in NO WAY similar to ESS business package deployment. For that matter, it is not a business package at all.
BOBJ itself is a web based application that interfaces with BW to retrieve different types of reports. So for the integration with SAP Portal you would not need to deploy any content (Except a few par files) on the portal.
Basically, for BOBJ integration you would have two options:
1. Integration using the iview template or URL iviews
2. KM Based integration
This topic has been discussed many a times and there is lot of information out there on SDN.
You can start with the following link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofBOEXI3.1intotheSAPEnterprisePortal+7.x
Please revert if you have any specific questions.

How to move an object with its animation path, without adding a new keyframe?
Hi,
If I create an object which has a keyframe animation, how can I change its location/scale without adding new keyframes? That is, I want to move the whole thing with all its animations & keyframes as a single entity.
thanks
ArunHi,
big thanks for that. Unless Im doing something stupid when I did that it made a new copy of the object but did allow me to place that new instance elsewhere.
Is there any way just to move an object and its path without making a new copy?
All the best

this.a = a;
How can I set the from a JSP page a AutoBomba? The objects name is only for exampleThere is of course the JSTL c:set tag
This relies on the appropriate variables being in JSTL scope.

SQL batch doesn't work; How to fetch related objects with fetch group?
I have two questions:
1. SQL Batch doesn't seem to work. I have tested some batch object creation
with BatchLimit set to -1, 0, 1, 25, 100. They all have similar
performance.
kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: BatchLimit=25
2. How to use custom fetch group to fetch related objects? The example of
custom fetch group only show how to fetch different attributes in different
groups. I have a test cases where I would like to pre-fetch related objects
to save round trip.
Enviroments:
* Kodo 3.1.0 RC1
* Oracle 9i release 1
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have two technical questions with Kodo.
1. SQL Batch doesn't seem to work. I have tried batch size of -1, 0, 1,25.
But the performance from batch creating objects is not affected by batch
size.
kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: BatchLimit=25You may be running into a bug in the Oracle 9.2 driver. That driverdoesn't
reliably give update counts when using batching and prepared statement
caching. By default, Kodo will turn off batching. You can manuallyenable
batching by setting the BatchLimit on your DBDictionary, as you've done.If
you do this, though, you may want to turn off prepared statement cachingby
setting MaxCachedStatements to 0 (see
http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/3.1.0RC1/docs/ref_guide_dbsetup.html#ref_guide_dbsetup_builtin).

2. How to use custom fetch groups to eagerly fetch related persistable
objects? Example only showed attributes, not relationships.You can find information on setting up eager fetching of relations at
http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/3.0.3/docs/ref_guide_
perfpack_eager.html
Basically, you'll need to add the relations to your fetch group, and
set the eager fetching mode.

How to create ods object with overwrite option
Hi all,
I have two ods objects for Billing and Delivery and one cube for Sales.
Billing and Delivery ODS objects are based on item level data source while sales cube is based on Schedule line level data source.
Now i want to create a new ODS object which will get the data from these there object and update the ods object.Basically i want all the sales order attributes and billing quantity and delivered quantity from the ODS objects.
how to update the new ods object in overwrite mode ??/
Regards,
Viren.HI,
yes OK but what i mean is that (you might have a perfect reason for this) normally it's nota good idea to have an info cube as a data source (for Performance, look-up reasons etc). If your goal is to load Billing/Delivery/Sales data into one ODS, then make sure that you model this correct.
If you want to use the ODS'es as data sources I would recommend you to use and ODS as data source also for the Sales data.
Kind regards
