Animation of just some parts of a CAD assembly group

Hello again,
Is it possible to animate just some parts of an assembly group (e.g. rotating a shaft between two static bearing cases)?
I have loaded the geometry as a .obj file. And each part is named by the parameter "g" in the .obj file, as far as I understand it. So I wonder wether one could use these named parts to form a transform group??
Would there be a better file format than .obj for something like this?
Thanks for your advice!!!

see GearTest.java in the j3d demos.

Can I move just one part of a letter???

Hi,
Is it possible to move a piece of a letter from some text? I love the look of a particular font I am using, but I would like to move just one part of one letter up a little (just this once in this particular design).
How can I do this? (See that bit of the n? I want to move it up.)
THANKS!
Magda

Magda,
You cannot simply change the letter while it is live Type; that requires your editing the font, which is possible with other applications.
For individual instances, you may Type>Create Outlines, Direct Select the part, and move it.

Back up just SOME of the music library to an external hard drive

I want to move just some of my music from my iTunes library onto an external hard drive (reason? the music cannot be got again, but right now I am not sure if I need it all or not).
So I want to move, say, 50 albums from the main iTunes libraray to an external drive and then be able to move some or all of them back again at later date.
Do I have to copy the whole library over to the external drive and then delete the albums there that I did not want to copy over? Or is there a better way?
And how will I copy back just some of the back-up albums at a later date - is it the normal "Add folder/file to [main] library command from the File menu?

OK, I don't think I have been making it very clear what I am trying to achieve - let me try putting it differently!!
I have one iTunes folder and, at the moment, that is all backed-up via SyncToy. I only have music in iTunes.
Think of that music as being of 2 types - part A that I want for definite, and all that music is also on my iPod (I have my iPod set to Sync manually with iTunes) - this is probably well over 100 albums; and Part B music, that is on iTunes, not on the Ipod, and that I am not sure yet if I want to have in iTunes and on the iPod or not (this was a load of music copied over from another iPod several months ago) - this might be a further 50 albums.
So - part A, I want to keep and want to be fully backed-up. OK, SyncToy does that currently by backing up 100% of iTunes.
But part B - I want to copy the part B music to a different copy location, and then just keep there the part B stuff which, album by album, I will either delete completely (if I don't want it) OR want to copy back to iTunes. Once this second copy is set up, I would delete from this copy all the Part A stuff, and also delete from iTunes all the part B stuff.
I would then have:
- part A stuff on iTunes, iPod and back-up location 1;
- part B stuff on back-up location 2.
So the main question is - from what level in the iTunes folder do I need to copy over to the part B back-up so as to ensure that, when I subsequently try to copy albums back from the part B back-up to iTunes, I get all the information, artwork etc that already exists for the albums? Do I copy the music file; the media file, or the whole iTunes folder?
This may sound all terribly longwinded but, for various reasons, I am not in a position to be able to decide all at once which of the part B albums I need to keep.
Is that any clearer?
Cheers!

LECTURE-ZOOM.vi ‏66 KB

Johnsold.
Thank you for your answer.
I have tested you vi LECTURE-ZOOM.2.vi, and I think there is some problems with my application.
First, let me transduce the vi into words : if columns index is more than the max columns value, then you stop, and the same think with the rows index.
With the sift register you make a memory allocation for the array that changes every loop.
By doing this way, I have two problem.
When I read a big file, the memory allocation takes a lot of memory, because the array allocation in memory changes every loop.
Besides, when I run the vi, the columns and rows are completly wrong, because, the command "chanel number is not respected : if I put 7 chanels, I have 5 chanels on the array.
Then, When I have it, I compare the "sortie" array versus "entrée" array, and I seems that AFTER decimation (1 point taken on 5), I have more points at the end than at the begining.
I give you a sample of a data file (compressed in zip...) to test your vi.
It's a 6 chanels data file, puted in a array.
When I try to run the vi you modify for me, I seems that it doexn't work because the result was totaly wrong... :-(
I think that I make a mistake/error in the vi understanding, because I try to change some parts of your vi, to adapt it to my application, but it doesn't work.
What do you think about my way of read the datas?
How can I change the vi to obtain the same array than in mine.
To see what I obtain, just lunch the vi in my next post with the data file in this post.

Purchased new macbook pro 13" and missing some parts of ilife

hi, i just bought the macbook pro 13 yesterday in best buy store and overall works fine but missing some parts of ilife software - like imovie, garage band, etc. i do have iphoto. I don't want to pay for this in the app store as should have come with the system, any idea how i get this resolved?

it's ok. There's still a way to get them for free from apple. It appears the prior owner (since it was open box) registered the computer to their Apple ID. If you go to selfsolve.apple.com you can scan them a copy of your receipt and give them the serial number of the machine. Once they log that on their end you can call 800-APL-CARE and have them authorize the machine to be able to download iLife for free.

OO4O output cursor just ruturn part of the records

Hi,
I use VB and OO4O to call an oracle stored procedure, but the output ref cursor just return part of the records, for example, I supposed to get 300 records, but it just return first 100 records.
If anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks for any help.

To use an external decoder connection, your setting in the DVD player software should be to use SPDIF output, and your speaker setting should be 2 speakers. If you use the multichannel analog inputs also common on receivers, you can actually use more than 2 of your soundcard's channels.
But that's just an attempt to give you some raw material for some insight....
The digital outputs should always be acti've unless you're playing high-resolution DVD-Audio. That does tell us there's some sort of capability for forcing the digital
output off. It may be that it is being turned off when it shouldn't be. It's also
possible that something's changing AC3 bits when this shouldn't happen. All this points to some sort of corruption (a poison pill has found it's way into your registry, perhaps), or to some other misbehaving software (likely a driver if so). Did you install any new devices when you did the XP upgrade? If so, try getting updated drivers for those, first.
Then if that seems to have no effect, try removing and reinstalling the CL software, using "cleansweep" procedures for a more thorough reinstall. Otherwise, I'd start seriously considering starting over with a clean OS reinstall.

Just some feedback on the 2014 CC Update

Just some feedback. When I installed the 2014 Adobe CC Apps last evening, I was expecting it to "update" (As it was labelled an update) the current CC apps on my hard drive. Instead it installed all new 2014 versions instead of an upgrade. This ended up being a minor issue as I am running my OS and Apps on an SSD, and have limited space. It just would have been nice to have seen it (CC 2014) clearly labeled as a new version of the apps instead of as an "update". That could have been a misunderstanding on my part, but it could be better labeled. Other than that, everything is fantastic, thank you very much.

1) Do I NEED to "update" or INSTALL?

3) We sure thought we were signing up for "always current apps" - updates, yes - but a complete new installation?
1) If you don't have alot of money tied up in plug-in's that don't work under the new programs... then you way want to update/install. If you have need of the new features, then you may want to update/install. However, need is subjective, and only you can determine that.
2) For this update, it appears that this is the Adobe way, for the moment. From the information I have gleaned, (Caution! Assumption! ) it appears that they are doing it this way because of the lack of backward plug-in compatibility with the new CC 2014 apps. I can see why they would want not to alienate people who have several hundred dollars or more tied up in plug-ins.
3) That was my understanding as well, but I can understand why they are doing what they did... I just wish they would have let us know.

Video recorded with my 4s is completely green in some parts.

When recording video, the video is completely green in some parts and in others it is pixelated badly. What is going on with my iPhone 4s?

That's not very good news at all. If that's the problem I'm sure it has a lot to do with how hot it gets. I've even noticed it gets really warm and it hadn't been turned on in weeks. Just being plugged in made it hot.

I need some parts for my MuVo V100, can anyone help?

I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help I couldn't find any thread this would belong in, but if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
I have a Creative Labs MuVo V00 2 gig player. I love it. The only problem is that the back peice of plastic that holds the battery in somehow has fallen off and has disappeared. I really, really, would like to replace it, but I can't find anywhere where parts like this are sold.
So, does anyone know where I can buy this part Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell me If I have to get the whole little "docking bay" that holds the batery and the unit, that would be fine too. I'm not going to pay huge money for it, seeing that I can still get a new one at a few places, but if anyone has one that broke, or that they just aren't using, and wouldn't mind making a few bucks + postage, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.

Re: I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help As far as I'm concerned the subject is closed. I was just irritated that I asked for help, and got some glib little reply, telling me something that anyone who's been on the internet for more than ten seconds should know about. Because to be honest, him replying with those three words, might have made someone overlook the post, thinking, "Someone is handling that, let's move on." Someone who actually might have what I needed.
But, as it turns out, I could order a reconditioned MuVo from Creative directly for about 6 bucks. (vs. 45+ if I'd gone through ebay) so the problem is resolved. If I could figure out a way to erase this entire post, I would do it. If you can do so, being a mod, I would appreciate it.
Sorry if I upset you Loi-CL, I understand you're a moderator, but I don't take kindly to being treated like I'm stupid and that's exactly what coachop94 was doing. If he didn't have anything important or useful to tell me, he could have just skipped over my post.

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums.

How to make some part of front panel transparent?

There is a property node to make a front panel completly transparent...but is there anything that only makes some part of the vi transparent like if I define a decorative block in the vi which takes 1 quardant of front panel and I have a control to make it transparent during runtime...
And moreover the frontpanel transparent property makes the whole window transparent, is there any way to retain toolbar of window like stop, run button when front panel is transparent??

Hi,
Have a look at this VI (attached). To make it work you need to create an image mask as a .png (open paint, colour in the areas that you want to become invisible and save it as a .png). The VI diffentiates between white areas and black areas of the mask you create, the black areas will become transparent and the white areas will remain the same- this will be implemented on your front panel. I've included an example of a possible paint image in "mask2.png".
You may also want to play around with the resolution of the mask created in paint, this will effect how the program works (I advise you use a lower resolution than your display- I used 500x300)
NT: If the front panel controls disappear, go into the block diagram window and attach a false constant instead of a control. Let me know if this works
Cheers, Tom

IPad 4 some parts of screen unresponsive

Ello,
Occasionally some parts of the screen is unresponsive to touch, such as hyperlinks, but if I move the page up or down then touch again it does. The address bar does something similar, no response when I type in an address, but then works if I click refresh.
Coincidentally, my friend has the same problem with her iPad Air.
any ideas?
thanks

Just some child in a webform?

Hi,
Please somebody of you can explain to me how to display in a webform just some child (not all child) related to member of a dimension.
Example:
Dimension: Account
Member:
Generation1: Product
Generation2 : Sales
Generation3 :
- Quantity
- price
- 711111 (Revenue)
I want to display in my webform just Sales, Quantity and Price. How can I do that?
PS: I tried Ichildren(sales) but it didn't work
Thank you

Can I assume you have thought about using the Descendants function with missing blocks and data are suppressed? Otherwise, the only option that comes to my mind is to manually select members, but I know it is not ideal.
Also, I would post this on Planning and Budgeting You may get more responses.
Cheers,
Mehmet
