Ruler tool-staying visible

The problem with the ruler tool is that when I select another tool the former DOES not stay visible. something I need.
For example, I make a measurement with the ruler tool, then select the move tool and the mesurement made dissapears from the document.
Is there a way I can fix the above issue?
Thanks

No...this does not achieve what I want though. because even if I record a measurement, upon changing the tool, from measurement to select for example, the measurement line dissapears.
I want the measurement line be visible regardless of the photoshop tool selected at anytime.
Of course I do not know if what I am asking is feasible at all.
Thanks anyway.

  • Ruler Tool Disappears when starting another Tool

    Is there a way to have the ruler tool remain visible once it has been created and you proceed to use another tool, e.g. I would like to use the ruler to tool as a guide to place lines, but when I select the brush tool to draw the line, the ruler "line" becomes invisible. Any ideas?

    I assume you're talking about the Measure Tool (grouped in the Toolbox with the Eyedropper and Color Sampler Tools).
    <br />
    <br />What you hope for can't be done.
    <br />
    <br />One workaround would be to pull out guidelines that intersect at both ends of the measurement you've made.
    <br />
    <br />This points to another good reason the Guidelines functions could use a some enhancements.

  • Ruler Tool problem

    I use the ruler tool a lot and hate the way it keeps reverting to the eye-dropper tool in the toolbar all the time! Is there a way to stop this from happening? If you use the ruler tool, then some other tools all seems okay until you save the image - at that point the ruler is replaced with the default eye-dropper tool. Therefore if you want to use it again you have to select it again which is a pain. Most tools seem to stay as they are when saving except the ruler. This was the same in CS3 by the way. I was hoping this might have been fixed in CS4.
    I'm using CS4ext in Vista Business.
    Thanks for any help.

    Not as far as I know. People have been complaining about this for as long as I can remember.

  • How do I add the ruler tool to my tools bar?

    I don't see the ruler tool (for tilt correction, etc.) on the left bar display. How do I add/display it in CS5?

    And for all that expand to show the nested Tools, there will be a tiny black triangle in the upper-right corner of the Button in the Toolbar.
    I think that most Tools now have nested Tools in the group, so about all will have the little triangle.
    Good luck,

  • HT2490 menu bar at top screen mountain lion is on pop up mode, I want it to stay visible but can't find where to do that on the system preferences

    I hate the mountain lion upgrade and have had more problems with it than good things!
    Its reset a lot of things on my computer, one of them being that the menu bar at the top with the apple logo on the right etc pops in and out of view whereas I would like it to stay visible but admittedly I'm no computer genius but I can't find where to change this setting. Any help???
    And mountain lion with safari blocks plug-ins so I installed google chrome which works fine so I can watch you tube, why can't I watch you tube with safari??? totally annoying!!!! I have the most up to date adobe flash player also but it always tells me its not up to date. No idea how to fix this but I hope apple fixes it soon. Really disappointed with the "upgrade"
    I would appreciate anyone that could lead me in the right direction so I can function normally again.

    If you can't see the menu bar using Safari, it sounds like you're using full screen mode.
    Try  Control + Command + F to reveal or hide the menu bar.
    For the blocked plugin issue try here > safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug...: Apple Support Communities

  • How can I get the ruler tool to show length in inches?

    This doc says the units the ruler tool shows length in are changed using preferences:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/en/photoshop/using/positioning-ruler-tool.html
    This document says the ruler tool always uses pixels unless you change measurement scale on a per image basis:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop//10.0/help.html?content=WS3D3EF585-502B-49d2-85F F-537E9DC25C21.html
    So far, the latter seems to be the case, but that's horribly inconvenient. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there some setting somewhere that will make the ruler tool display measurement length in inches (or what ever I set in preferences)?
    Note that I am not talking about the units shown at the top and left side when the ruler is in view, I'm talking about the ruler tool's position and length data, whether or not the ruler is in view.

    Trevor,
    Unfortunately, that only changes the ruler units, not the mouse coordinates displayed when taking measurements using the ruler tool.
    gener7 nailed it though.

  • In LabVIEW6i, is there a way to make particular elements of an array invisible while the others stay visible (without losing any element's info.)?

    I have an array of clusters. Each cluster pertains to a certain oscilloscope I am controlling. There is another control which specifies which oscilloscopes I have "on".
    If a particular oscilloscope is "on" I want its cluster to be VISIBLE in the array. If a particular oscilloscope is "off" I want its cluster to be INVISIBLE in the array.
    How can I implement this in my program without losing ANY of the info. in my array?

    I suggest to use two arrays; one for user interface holding the ON clusters,
    and one for internal use holding all clusters. The diagram periodically
    updates the internal array with user interface array data.
    By INVISIBLE do you mean "skipped from the array" or displayed as an empty
    placeholder? To hide an OFF cluster you could put in the cluster a flat
    button boolean that is small and transparent when ON and large enough to
    cover the whole cluster area (and other controls) when OFF.

  • How to get Character Viewer to stay visible (esp. in Word for Mac)?

    I'm asking this on behalf of a friend who has a 2013 13-inch (non-retina) MackBook Pro and uses it with an Apple Cinema Display. Since the upgrade to Mavericks the behaviour of the Character Viewer has changed, where it no longer 'sticks' (stays both active and on top) as a visible window when you switch applications: now it needs to be called up from within each application, and will be visible when working with that app.
    He needs the Character Viewer open all the time and this change is inconvenient (he draws special characters from it constantly). But the main problem is that he mostly works in MS Word for Mac and as far as I can tell Microsoft have not updated Word to respect the behaviour Mavericks intends for Character Viewer: to stay visible while working. Instead, the Character Viewer window randomly closes. So, while hoping for an update from MS (but not holding breath since they provide their own inferior version of a glyph viewer in Word)) I have two questions:
    1. Can anyone suggest a way, perhaps using Applescript or Automator (which I don't know how to use), to make the Character Viewer always stay open and visible while using any application? This would be the preferable solution, in effect restoring the behaviour seen before Mavericks.
    Or
    2. Can someone give us some guidance on how to make a custom keyboard shortcut in Word for Mac that we could assign to bring up the (OSX) Character Viewer, since the usual system shortcut for that (control-command-space) is not respected in Word. Or alternatively, an Applescript or Automator solution for this that would be available from within Word?
    Thanks!

    Did you try:
    ->System Preferences->Keyboard and check [ ] Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar
    It closes when I switch desktops with spaces or open another App, but it displays when I go back to the Word window

    ANSWER: out of the box installation on an XP Dell laptop resulted in NO installation errors but a missing subdirectory - or the in-application updates removed subdirectories.
    re-installing the complete application installed the missing subdirectories.
    hopefully those with the same error now have something to check on with their application directory structure.  there is at least one other who has this error on a Mac.
    thanks to all who responded.

  • Getting external swf to stay visible?

    Hi
    I have an external swf that contains a button that controls my main swf's timeline.
    I can get it to navigate fine, but as soon as it navigates, my external swf disappears, because my main swf is no longer on the frame my external swf was imported on.
    How do I get the external swf to stay visible along all the frames of my main swf's timeline?
    Here's the code I use to import the external swf:
    var external_swf:MovieClip;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var import_me_SWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external_mc.swf");
    loader.load(import_me_SWF);
    loader.x = 0;
    loader.y = 0;
    addChild(loader);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataOnLoad);
    function dataOnLoad(evt:Event): void {
    external_swf = MovieClip(evt.target.content);
    Thanks guys.
    Shaun

    SOLUTION:
    Ok - here's a solution I experimented with for anyone that needs a similar fix:
    1. Create a new layer where you would like the external swf to go (in my case, the layer is on the top).
    2. Draw a rectangle (doesn't matter what it is really), convert it to a movieclip symbol, and give it a color effect APLHA of 0 so it's invisible.  Give it an instance name - I named mine 'external_swf_holder'
    3. Adapt the external loader code like this...add 'external_swf_holder' to the beginning of the external clip name, with a dot in between:
    var external_swf:MovieClip;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var  import_me_SWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external_mc.swf");
    loader.load(import_me_SWF);
    loader.x  = 0;
    loader.y = 0;
    addChild(loader);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,  dataOnLoad);
    function  dataOnLoad(evt:Event): void {
    external_swf_holder.external_swf =  MovieClip(evt.target.content);
    4. That's it.  Now Flash should always keep your swf on the layer that 'external_swf_holder' is on.
    Cheers

  • If the whole applet window stays visible, can repainting still occur?

    Hello, if a user scrolls a browser up and down, during which process the whole applet window stays visible (just moves up and down in the browser window), can painting code inside the applet still be called?? As far as I understand painting, no, but please if an expert could confirm I'd appreciate.
    The problem I am having, is in the above situation, my applet shows artefacts, like lines repeating twice, as if my painting code were messed up. But the applet is not computing an image, it is not computing anything, just displaying an image, and the only thing that is happening is that I scroll the browser so it moves up and down (staying visible all the time). Am I right to assume this cannot be a problem in my applet code?
    No SSCCE since I don't think this is my code. Thank you for any opinions. Mark

    the only thing that is happening is that I scroll the browser so it moves up and down (staying visible all the time). So your saying the problem is not with your code but its with the scrolling of the applet?
    if you could just bring your considerable expertise to bear and just write a simple "yes", "no", "maybeI did give you my answer. I don't believe anything is a bug, unless you can post code that demonstrates it.
    And if you code is 30K, what do you think the chances are the problem is in one of those lines of code.
    And no, I have absolutely no idea what it could be.

  • Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

    Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

    First try re-setting the Ruler Tool from the tool's fly-out menu.
    If that doesn't do it, then trash and recreate Photoshop preferences.
    If you had at least indicated your platform, I could be more specific, but here it goes anyway:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

  • CC 2014 Ruler tool Straighten button is dimmed in layered files (Mac and Win versions)

    I have a Grayscale/8 bpc file with a Levels Adjustment layer.
    In CC 2014 I use the ruler tool to drag out a line and the notice the Straighten button in the Options bar is dimmed whether I have the Background layer or the adjustment layer selected. If I flatten the image the Straighten button is active.
    In CC, if I select the Background layer, the Straighten button is active. Not if I select the Adjustment layer. Same behavior in CS6. (So the problem looks to be in CC2014 only)
    This is noted in both the Mac and Windows versions of CC 2014.1.0 (which would leave out the OS and hardware glitches.)
    Tried a flat grayscale file, added an adjustment layer, and noticed the same problem in CC 2014.  (that eliminates a buggy file)
    The fact that at least with the Background layer selected in CC and CS6, the Straighten button is active, so this is looking like something specific to CC 2014.
    Before I call it a "bug", I would like to know if anyone is seeing this or knows  of a fix?

    Ok, changing the background layer does activate the straighten button without having to flatten the document.
    I'll keep this question open for more feedback before marking it.
