Anchor points and scrolling trouble in Muse

I set anchor points on a long page in Muse. I want to be able to click on a menu item and scroll down to that section in the layout. For some reason when I click on my menu the scroll effect doesn't work very well. It seems to stop early. Why is that? n It used to work fine?

It seems to stop as I go down the page. My documents this morning show no or little movement

Anchor points and paths not displaying!

When I create a new shape, the anchor points and path are not visible. How do I make them appear? I don't see them at all in any shape I create....

Hi JJMAck,
The problem isn't with selecting a path or anchor point, but rather seeing them at all. I watched a tutorial video, where the user chose the rectangle shape tool, created a rectangle, and the path and anchor points of the rectangle were visible. When I create a rectangle, no path or anchor points are displayed.....
Any thoughts on that situation?
Thanks!!
John
What you saw in the tutorials is how newer versions of Photoshop work older Photoshop versions do not display the points and the way shape layer are depicted in the layers palette is also different.
What version of Photoshop are you using?
While CS6 is close to CC it does not show the points and there may even be differences between the PC and Mac versions of Photoshop.

Too many anchor points, and simplify messes up the pic

I'm making a picture and I have a problem - I need a maximum of 2000 anchor points, and I have about 11k.
Seems like I have a lot of unnecessary points, but when I try to simplify the picture gets all messed up. Any other way to fix this?
Here's part of the picture, you can clearly see that a lot of the points don't have to be there..

It looks as if you have a lot of areas with the same color inside itself...
And/or different colors hidden by overlaps.--which is exactly why I said the Merge Pathfinder will probably reduce the number of anchors. There is no need to tediously select objects of same color. Merge unions adjacent areas of same color and removes hidden areas of overlap in one move.
Photo of a heart...
That could be anything from a valentine to a medical procedure photo. You need to show what you're working with.
This picture project is such a huge pain in the *ss...
So is trying to help someone, blind.

Anchor Points and Intersect Guide Lines Disappeared

Hi! I must have hit some type of command on my keyboard but now my anchor points and intersect guides have disappeared that would normally appear when I roll my mouse over the anchor point or the intersecting paths. I have hit Ctrl + H as well as went to the menu manually and my edges are showing. How do I turn back on this ability to see my anchor points and intersecting lines guide in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!!
Edit: I run on Adobe Illustrator CS5

Is View > Smart Guides turned on? If not, enable it.
If Smart Guides are already turned on, check if Align to Grid is enabled in the View menu and turn it off.

Show not selected anchor points (and connect)

Hello.
Every now and then I have the problem in Illustrator that I want to connect two anchor points with the pen tool. The two anchor points belong to different objects. Is there any way to always show all anchor points. Today I have to select one of the object to see the first anchor point I want to connect. And then hovering the point over the plaece where I presume the second anchor point is located until the mouse icon indicates that I have the pointer at an anchor point.
A second question: Is there any way to connect more than two “lines” to an anchor point? I.e intersect and connect an anchorpoint in the middle of a line with a third anchor point.

Almost.
My thought was that if I could see all anchorpoints of all objects, without selecting the objects. Ie. se all "white" anchor points, when I select them they will become "filled/blue".

Anchor Points and handles disappearing in Illustrator CC – Windows 8

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help.
This is becoming a consistently re-occurring issue for me, and it's not specific to any particular file.
The bounding box is visible, so I have a blue outline and blue "anchor points" at the end of each line, and I can even use the new CC round edges option, however I have no anchor points to do any resizing, and I can't hover the black arrow tool just outside the edges of a shape to quickly rotate it.
It's not a case of going into preferences/view and turning on bounding box and/or show anchor points (Ctrl+Shft+B) nor (Ctrl+H). This seems to happen to me randomly but consistently, on new or existing files, and there's no rhyme or reason to when it happens. I could have been working on the file for 2 hours or 2 minutes and it can just kick in.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Probably worth noting that I also have CC on my Mac and I tend not to see the issue, it happens occasionally but nowhere near to the same extent as the Windows version, and I've experienced the issue occasional on older versions of Illustrator also, so it just seems like an inherent issue on these versions rather than the inhibiting barrier it's proving to be on CC Windows.

Path with anchor points and bezier control handles

I have a text, not converted to outline. Live text.
I am using IllCS4.
That is cool thing about hovering the cursor above the text and see hidden path and anchor points only when you hovering exactly above them. But I want them be visible permannently, while I am applying some envelop distort changes. Then I want to turn visibility off. And how to get permanent visiblity of bazier control handles at the same time?
I am lost.
Tx

Yes, thank you,
that is great thing, but when I use it, I see outlines (like a wireframe) of image only.
Is there any way to see still image as it is and switch on visibility of object' path with all control points?

Expression query concerning anchor point and masks

Hi everyone,
As im new to expressions Id like to know if there is one that could place the anchor point to the middle of the masks left and right points.
So essentially it would be something like:
Mask right value, subtract mask left value, divide result by 2, and add result to mask left value. and this end result would be the anchors x value.
Plus then the position values would need to be updated as well
This image shows a picture divided into 10 parts by use of the mask, Each section has its own layer to manipulate individually
I would like the anchor points to move from the middle of the original image to the middle of each of the masked sections. see 2 images below.
(only 3 sections visible in this image) Left most section is current layer.
Anchor point sits in middle now, id like it to sit in middle of left section, where the arrow points. The section would need to stay where it is now so position values would need to be updated as well.
Another example this one is the right most, in all there are 10 mask sections.
Each section has its own layer to manipulate individually.
Ultimately id like to make an effect of rotating the sections on their Y axis similar to those billboards with multiple ads on them. see link below

Hope this is clear enough?
Thanks guys.

You can easily move the anchor points with the Anchor Point tool. It's right there in the toolbar. Just grab the anchor point with that tool and drag. Changing anchor point values in the timeline window causes the layer to move, but dragging with the tool (also called the pan behind tool) doesn't.
Card wipe or even card dance is a good alternative that requires less work but it offers less control in AE's 3D world.

Why do my anchor points and triggers jump to anchors they are not assigned to?

Hello again,
I am still tinkering away on my school project Adobe Muse page, but there are just some glitches I can't get under control. The biggest issue is by far the problem with the anchors. I followed a tutorial to the T creating them, but the triggers to not jump reliable to the area they are suppost to go to.
I have a long horizontal image scroll on which I placed "bubbles" (my links) to visit the sub-pages. Then the user is supposed to be able to return to the same place in the image that he has left from, but this is where things go wrong. The further down the image (probably also depending on how many sub-pages you have visited) the jumps seem to go more erratic.
Since explaing this is really tricky without an example I already uploaded a copy of my entire Muse page including assets to a dropbox folder. If somebody would be willing to take a look and tell my what it is that I am doing wrong.
In addition, I have some fixed objects in some of the sub-pages but they jump from where I plced them on the page to about 40+ pix to the right in the preview/published view. Why??
Still incredible confused...

Judy,
Give this a try:
*+Your signatures are stored as webarchive files in your <home>/Library/Mail/Signatures folder. There should be a webarchive file for each signature and they in turn are referenced in a SignaturesByAccount.plist file within the same folder. It is possible that the plist file has become corrupted and/or the signature files are corrupted. Move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file to the desktop and then re-create your signatures to see if that resolves the problem.+*
I found that on another post (Thanks 2point5!)
After you move the SignaturesByAccount.plist to the desktop and recreate the signatures, make sure you then go ahead and trash it. A new one will be made in the Signatures folder.
So far this has worked for me.
Good Luck
John

Action a link to an anchor point when a scroll postion is reached

Hi, I want to know if there is a way to action an anchor point or link on a muse site when you reach a certain scroll postion, I believe this can be done with some javascript but not sure if it can be done directly in muse? So basically when you scroll say to 1000px down a page some kind of trigger is activated and takes you to a predefined anchor or link to another page. If this can be done by embedding some code does anyone know what the code would look like?

see this post near the top . . . if you're using framesets you will scroll to the bottom of the page to see what they posted there.

How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

hi all
i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
virender

Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
We cycle through the items on the page:
function main(){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
    var myPage = myPages[i];
    //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
    if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
    if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
    var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
    for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
      //Current item.
      var myItem = myItems[j];
      //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
      //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
      if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
      //We only care about text frames.
      if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
      //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
      //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
      //is inadvertently lost.
      else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
      //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
      //Flatten the text frame.
      //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
      //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
      flattenItem(myItem);
function flattenItem(funcItem)
     //Hold onto the anchor character.
    var myParent = funcItem.parent;
     //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
     //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
     //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
     if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
     //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
     //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
    myParent.contents = " ";
I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

Disappearing paths and anchor points

Using a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3, the anchor points and drawing lines have disappeared from both the outline and art views. The lines are still visible, but none of the anchor points can be seen to edit the lines. How do I make them visible again?

Thank you that worked. I am not sure how this happened as it is a complex geologic map that I was not looking forward to redoing for publication.

Can't select items, keeps showing paths and anchor points

All of a sudden when I roll over a selection the cursor displays anchor points and paths only. Any ideas?

Perhaps you have Smart Guides turned on.
Try Cmd+U to turn them off, and see how it goes.

Can't see the anchor point or bezier handles when editing an effect

Please help! This may be an easy fix, but when editing an effect I can no longer see the anchor point, keyframes, or bezier handles on the timeline image. Specifically, I am keyframing the Brush Position in the Write-on effect, and while I can move the brush position, there is no visual cross-hair on the image nor bezier handles to adjust the curve... every adjustment is therefore a guess as to where the adjustment handle is.
Is there a button that toggles anchor point and keyframe path display? Obviously, not being able to see what you're working on is very frustrating. I tried to click the icon to the left of the Write-on effect bar (4-point square with the selection tool in the upper right), but nothing happens. The write-on effect bar is selected and the Brush Position is in keyframe mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I worked with this the other day. Bezier handles and the hot spots are tough to see and the write-on effect is a bit wierd for me. You may have more success placing keyframes at beginning and end of a clip as I had trouble keyframing only part of a clip and still controlling the writing effect. You can then slide the keyframes later to change the duration.
Also, you may want to disable all the other effects while editing this one, as the others keep getting selected instead for me and I end up e.g. moving the image instead of the brush.

How can I use existing anchor point as a new one?

Can anyone help?
I'm tracing over a drawing, and I'm trying to use an existing anchor point as an anchor point for another curve. So, from c, I want to click and drag on anchor point b to make a new curve. If I click where b is, then I just delete b. Can I make b my initial anchor point so that I can use it to complete my tooth? When I get to the next teeth Ill have to do the same thing. Has anyone any ideas?

> Each tooth should be a closed path.
Why?
> If I click where b is, then I just delete b.
Ugh, turn off Auto Add/Delete Anchor Point and watch your rage levels instantly decrease. You can then put your final point anywhere you want, including smack dab on top of B.
