Adding straight line/outlines

the answer is probably stairing straight at me, but for the life of me, I cannot seem to figure this simple task out.
I am designng a rack card and wish to create a stright line border on the edges of the card. How do I add these straight lines / borders, thank you.

Once you have finished your card, go to Select>all
Open a blank layer at the top of the layers palette
Go to Edit>Stroke(outline) selection. Place the stroke inside. Choose the color. For width, try 3-5 px.
Since this places the stroke on a separate layer, you can delete it if it is not ok, and do it again to suit.

Densify straight line segments

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to densify (add vertices at a specified interval) along a straight line segment. SDO_ARC_DENSIFY doesn't work as I need on straight line segments. Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
I considered writing my own function as the logic seems simple, but I don't see a function to measure distances along a line w/o converting to LRS.
Thanks!

Hi John,
So what's the aversion to LRS? Licensing? The Oracle Spatial guide pretty much steps you through what you want to do here using LRS
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_lrs_ref.htm#autoId1
They take a linestring, snap it into two pieces at measure 5 and then stick the pieces back together with the new point at the break. Just wrap up a CONVERT_TO_LRS_GEOM and CONVERT_TO_STD_GEOM on the way in and on the way out of your function. I assume you already know from what end you want to measure and that your linestrings run that way consistently.
If you don't have the Spatial license then it's a bit more complicated. You need to walk the coordinates in the linestring adding up the distance and then figure out where your break point would land on the segment when you hit the desired measure. That's a fairly tall order for a forum request but perhaps other folks have some ideas for you. I would just use the LRS stuff myself so I've never thought through what it would take.
Cheers,
Paul

Problem with creating a straight line with polygamo lasso

Change the AngledLine class to store two points instead of 3 points (I would rename the class to be StraightLine). The code is much simpler because you just store the starting and ending points and you don't need to calculate the middle point.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Ssrs 2008 r2 straight line within a matrix

In an SSRS 2008 R2 new report have placed a matrix on the end of the report for information the user wants to see at the end of the report. The user wants to place a straight line between the different infomation sections in the tablix. Here are the problems
I am having:
1. In a row I would like to merge 2 cells together so that a line placed within the matrix is the same length. The problem is that I do not know how to merge the cells.
2. When I drag a line into a cell in the matrix, the line is not straight. The line points to an angle. I have tried to change the properties of the line on the endpoint values but that has not worked. Thus can you tell me how to make the line placed within
a matrix cell to be straight?

Take a look at this post for inserting a horizontal (or vertical) line into a tablix cell:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/397d6dc4-766a-43c9-9706-5370a2bfaeb4/insert-line-into-table?forum=sqlreportingservices
For merging cells, you simply select a set of contiguous cells, right-click, merge cells. There is a catch of course. The catch is that all of the cells you are trying to merge must be in the same scope. Below are some screenshots showing a simple Matrix
with 1 column group and 1 row group.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are both in the same scope, and merge cells is available.
In this screenshot, I have selected 2 adjacent cells that are not in the same scope. The left cell is only scoped by the row group while the cell on the right is scoped by both the row and the column group. As a result, I cannot merge the cells.

How to get rid of or at least easily fix random Position A to Positon B 'archs'?(want straight line)

Hey,
I hope i can describe my question correctly: is there a way to tell after effects that i want to default every position edit to be a straight path/arch (i'm actually looking for a lack of 'arch'--I just want a straight line) instead of defaulting to a seemingly random arch that i then find very tedious if not impossible to fix, even by manipulating vertice box 'arms' while holding alt? in other words, can i tell the program that, from now on, 'position A' and 'position B' must be traveled between in a straight line ONLY, never any erronious archs? i hope i described it well enough without being too familar with technical terms
thanks

See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

Adding new line item in SC after it is added to PR or PO

Hi Experts,
Our customer wants that if line item is added to PR and PO on ECC side, it should be added to SC as well. I am sure you can't change apporved SC for which follow on document is created. But if someone did similar kind of requirement.
Here is requirement.
> SC has 2 line items.
> PR is created in ECC for 2 line items after SC is apporved.
> User added 3rd line item in PR on ECC side.
> Customer wants this line item should be added to SC as well.
Please advise.
Regards,
Kamal

Hi,
In Classic Scenario: This is not possible .when you are adding a P.O in ECC it will not reflect in
SRM.
In Extended Classic scenario: In SRM only P.O is created .You can add a new line items (or) change
because P.O in SRM Server is the main P.O.
Moreover in this also Shopping cart will not update. Once Shopping cart is approved you can do any changes
Please check which scenario your client is using.

Why can I only paint straight lines in Photoshop CS6?

I am trying to paint something that I have wanted to for a while now, and Photoshop is presenting some troubles for me. I can not paint curves, and instead, only straight lines without pen pressure (Size, opacity, the likes.) The result of my efforts is the same as if I were to draw a dot (click once in other words), press shift, and make another dot somewhere else. It's just straight lines no matter what.
I am currently on an Emachines computer running Windows 7, Photoshop CS6 and this is the first time I have bothered with the brush tool in Photoshop.
I hope this information is useful for someone to help me so that I may paint freely. Thank you for reading.

It is possible that the Shift key is stuck on your keyboard. If you add a Type layer and some text, you'll see if that is the case or not. Unlikely I'd have thought, but things can get jammed between the keys, and you need to eliminate this possibility before moving on to other possibilities.
Oh, I see. No, the shift key is not the problem it seems. I have a feeling that it's the brush I'm using.

Simplifying Straight Line Paths

Hey all,
new to the forum and really struggling with something at the moment, Using Illustrator CS4
I've imported a map from a DWG prepared in Archicad (vector based architecture software)
This map shows roads and buildings (they are paths in illustrator) and as you would imagine the roads are curved but rather than being drawn with curves they are composed of many many straight line paths and as I'm meaning to have a model laser cut from the Illustrator file I need to join these paths into longer paths so the laser cutting doesn't take forever.
As far as I can see it's fairly simple to simplify the number of anchor points on a curved path using the Object>Path>Simplify tool but simplifying multiple straight line paths that only have the slightest deviation in angle seems harder, or at least I can't work it out.
I have attached an image, The areas highlighted in green are examples of areas where there are too many paths and just one or two paths would be fine. It would be fine to either convert the paths to curved paths or just simply reduce the number of straight line paths that compose the curves.
Hope someone can help, Thx for your time
The

Apart from the current problem, you should take a look at the free plugin "Kartografie-Funktionen" if you do this kind of stuff regularly. http://www.ika.ethz.ch/plugins/index.html
It has a tool for simplifying paths, which works slightly different than Illustrator's

Making a straight line aligned with text and adjusting length

i am trying to make a simple straight line above some text in after effects cs5 that lines up with the beginning and end of the text. Not touching or anything. Nothing special. then a line perpendicular to it of a different stroke size.
Also i want it to draw or fill in.
first of all, if i dont get the line length perfect the first time, and i try to adjust the length, then the stroke width changes, also the scale.
this is maddening because if i am making other pieces that i will animate together, i want them to be the same. and every time i try to adjust the line length, it changes everything...
or do i just make all lines and type graphics in illustrator or photoshop and import them...and make a mask. I almost think that all those extra steps might be easier...(sarcasm)
any tips on this as this super basic task is turning into a headache?
thx in advance.

Well, because if you dont get it exactly correct and you want to make it longer or shorter, not only does that change, but the stroke starts scaling. So now you have simply a shorter line, you have a line that appears the same but is inevitably different point sizes and different scales that are maddening to match. I am animating several iterations of a kind of type/line template in 3d space. So i have made each on its own composition that is not 3d.
i thought you would be able to just click on the end of the line/path and make the line itself shorter or longer like in illustrator. Also when the scale changes, it changes its position slightly from its anchor point....
