Anyway to set default on Pen tool to stroke and no fill?

It keeps resetting to stroke and white fill every time I draw a new line. I'd like it to stay at what I had it before (stroke and no fill). If it wont' stay with the last used setting, can the default be changed to have no stroke?
Thanks.

Set the stroke, fill, color, etc. that you want as default before you select a tool. Thereafter this will be the default. Do this also with character and paragraph settings or most any tool for that matter. If these defaults are something that you use day in/day out same them as a personal workspace.

How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template). I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

artisttouch,
If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
To solve it, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Setting defaults for text tool in CC Acrobat Pro

Pen tool, Rounded ractangle and Brush cursor.

Hi, Good Day.
There are things that I want to say about using CS4.
1.   Pen tool.
In Photoshop 5.0, I found that it is faster to <stroke path> compared to the newer version of PS. In PS 5.0, I never need to exit pen tool mode whenever I wanted to select the brush sizes. The Brush size Selection 'tray' tab is always available even when I’ve exit the brush mode. Thus make the stroke works become faster, simpler and easier.
And this is not happen in CS4. What I see is when every time I want to stroke the paths, to choose the brush size I must exit the pen tool mode ; and when I’m back the pen tool mode again, the brush option tray will gone. This slows me every time when I want to choose brush or when I want to re-correct or to re-stroke in order for looking the right brush size and style; it's really complicates me.
So, can Adobe do something about the Brush Selection tab so it always availed like other tabs, like PS5.0 do? Which like swatches tab, color tab, etc.. So it wouldn’t go off next time when we exit the brush mode; thus saves time.
2.   Rounded rectangle.
Problem: I want to modify my rounded rectangle shape by adjusting the all the four rounded edges evenly without ruining the square shape. The problem is the shape is too free, the points are working individually and paths are “flabby”.
Can someone tell me know how to lock the shape?
It’s like what in Microsoft Word do. The rounded rectangle lines can be locked so I can adjust the edges to be rounder and rounder, whether partly or simultaneously.
3.     Brush cursor.
I found that the brush cursor seem to be ‘unstable’; which is that the PS will change the Normal brush cursor to the Precise brush cursor when I’m using the Text tool, and I can’t change the cursor back to Normal cursor again after exiting the text tool and I'm also not on the text layer. And sometimes this problem happens even when I’m not using the Text tool; for example when I’m doing some copy and paste job.
The only solution is to close PS and restart my computer. What I should do?
Thanks for your concern.

Hi Bion_s,
In the course of playing around in Illustrator to find a solution, I found that if you open your appearance panel (Window > Appearance), select the fly-out menu and deselect New Art has Basic Appearance.
I found that with this option unselected, you can select your stroke width and profile and draw multiple times without it reverting to the default stroke!
Please let me know if this works for you. I'm not sure how this might affect your workflow on other projects, but it did result in the behavior you seemed to want.
Cheers,
Michael

Setting defaults for link tool?

Hi,
I'm creating a mega-multimedia pdf with lots of little pdfs attached to it. The customer wants each link in the megaPDF to open a mini-pdf in its own window, and each one should be set to open in "fit to page" zoom mode. When I use the link tool, I select "go to a page view", then I open the little mini-pdf attachment and click on "set link". That's great. But then I have to edit that link to have the action settings I want it to have (open in new window and fit to page). I'm hoping there is a way that I can set a default so that each time I set a link, it has those action characteristics.
Help? Please? Tired of clicking (and with some many links, sometimes I forget to go in and edit the actions )
Thanks!
P.S. I tried using the "search forum" feature to see if my question had already been answered, but no amount of coaxing and word-changing would grant me any search results.

I'm developing a web-service that will allow you to batch edit these
properties. If you're interested, you can contact me personally about it.
I have no idea why Adobe did not implement that, but I've noticed that the
links you create take your current page view setting as their default value.
So if you're on Fit Page view, the links you create will be Fit Page links,
etc.

Set default properties for Tools Content Modification Add Text?

I'm running a French version of Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.0.
I'm not enquiring about or alluding to the other tool that can be employed for adding text: Sign > Add Text.
For instance, I'd like to change the default font, font size, font color, etc.
Here's a picture:

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

How to set default object placement & wrap for drag-and-dropped files

I am working on a document into which I need to drag-and-drop a number of files from the Finder: JPGs, PDFs, and so on. Each time I drag a file into Pages, by default its placement is set as "Floating (doesn't move with text)" and "Object causes wrap" is active.
I would much prefer that the default settings be "inline" and "object does not cause wrap," so my drag-and-dropped images will appear within the text and move with it.
Is there a way to change this default setting?

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

Set default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on all new docs

Hello Acrobat Experts,
We convert *many* Word docs to PDF. We have PDFMaker force security on all docs. Now every document has the security settings we want.
That works.
We want to force the default Initial View to be Bookmarks Panel and Page so that *every* new document shows the Bookmark Panel and the Page.
We don't want to set this per document (which is a multi-setp process and a hassle, especially now that security is enabled) but globally for all new documents created by Adobe Acrobat.
Any and all advice is most welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Tech details:
Acrobat Professional 8.1.7
Windows Xp Professional (all current updates)

The article I pointed to in my Oct 20, 2009 post #3 contains two pointers that might assist to initially open the PDF fitting the page to the window.
I think you may be after "Vire [/Fit]" as described in the article;
[ /PageMode /UseOutlines
/Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
These lines of code open your PDF document with the bookmarks panel open. If you just want the document on its own try "UseNone" instead of "UseOutlines". Here are some additional values:
/Page 1 opens the PDF on page 1
View [/Fit ] opens the PDF Fit to page
And the article points to the PDFMark reference where you might look at Actions and Destinations on page 47.
I've not tried to do this myself so would you be kind enough to post your result and let us know the version of Acrobat you're using?

How to hide white space with pen tool

Ok so im tracing with the pen tool, and there is a white area that fills in unnecessarily. The lynda video says use View>Outline, but that is making the thing i am tracing disappear! how do i make it so the white polygons only disappear on the layer with the pen?

Set the Pen tool to have a stroke and no fill. Either will do it.

How can I get the Fireworks pen tool to disengage from an open path shape (and stay disengaged)!

I am so frustrated! I can't get the fireworks pen tool to disengage when I am finished creating an open path shape (double clicking the end-point isn't working). The only way I can disengage the pen tool is to click on a different tool, BUT ...if I do that (i.e., click on a different tool), and then go back to the pen tool (with the intent to create another open path shape), the pen tool automatically engages the last point of my prior open path shape ... and ... no matter what I do, I can't get the pen tool in Fireworks to stop doing this with my open path shapes.
If anyone has any helpful advice, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
(note: I prefer not to have to go back and forth creating open path shapes in Illustrator then bring them into Fireworks, but if all else fails, I suppose I'll have to as a work-around.)

Have you tried holding the Command key and clicking away from the last point? The Command (⌘) key will bring up the Subselection tool; clicking on the canvas with it will allow you to disengage from the path. Once you release the key, the Pen tool will return and you can begin another path.

Any opinions on setting default values on Business Partner level?

Hi All,
I do not have a question, but would like to have a good discussion on how you should preferably be setting default values on a business partner and it's assignment blocks.
In my opinion you have two main alternatives:
1. The "old fashioned" way by using the get_<attribute_name> method and doing some checks for the perticular attribute in the context node.
2. Using the Badi BADI_CRM_BP_UIU_DEFAULTS to fill fields with a default value. With some enhancements on the assignment blocks (making typed_context attribute public and, when not called yet, calling the badi) you can use the badi for all assignment blocks.
Because I discovered via debugging that in the, by many forums suggested, badi code a programm error/exception is used so that the default values are only set during creation mode, I started doubting to use the badi. Because once I had set my data declarations to the right references and the exception did not occur anymore, suddenly it always fills the values even when there are already values filled. So additional checks are needed to assure that I am in creation mode.
Although I like the use of the badi, because all my default values on the whole business partner object can be found in the same place, it is getting a bit strange to: first still enhance the view and context node class, adjust the visibility of the typed_context, call the badi and do all kind of checks to assure that you are in the right view/context node, where this all is faster and more lean and mean when done directly in the get_<attribute_name> method on a context node.
Anyone who wants to give there opinion on this?
Regards,
Martijn.

Cameron,
Unfortunately you cannot pass the Account and Contact name before saving the record. Post default tries to capture the name just before the record gets saved, but as the record is yet to be created, the relationship wont exist and only the respective id fields will have values. If you try using account id/ contact id it will work else just pass the time stamp in the name field which will make sure there is some value when the record is saved. later in the back end you might need WS to update the field values.
