Best way to make house plans using photoshop- City Planning Board rejected my 1st

I need to submit pro looking house plans to a city board. I am too Lisdexic to learn a new program at this stage of my life, but I am skilled with Photoshop pixel tools...(.There are some Phtshp tools I have never used). I have looked at most of the house plan programs online and if I could find one that uses the same or similar tools as photoshop Bingo, I'm happy. Better yet I should just learn to use the Vector tools in Photoshop. My 1st attempt using the rectangles etc went just great until I saved them, went back to the picture later and they had disappeared. 3 hrs of work kaputz.
So my question is: How do I use only Vector lines, save them, come back later, finish the plan....second question: what is the printing procedure to make these lines as crisp as an architect would make?
If we had time I would share with you how embarrassing it is to stand before a city planning board and have their staff architect tell you in detail how crappy your plans are.

Parse the actionscript into 'somewhat' compatable javascript - maybe jQuery

I think the only way we will see a truly consistent(ish) rendering of flash content is through a js lib that exposes the flash player api and interprets the byte code at runtime
That was my first path actually. I wanted to just take the byte data from Flash or event simple meta data. But the problem in that is that not all devices support Flash Player, so the IDE is not accessable under all circumstances.
I have class builders (I can send a manifest to it and it will spit out my Actionscriptcode, I've ran it on 100s of files at times)... this helped me to get a better understanding of syntax relationships between code. That being said... I can parse some PHP and Javascript into Actionscript, but I'm not working on the opposit to apply Actionscript logic within PHP and Javascript - to be honest I'm about 40% complete on that one.
FYI: I can render MXML live - at runtime and compile actionscript live - at runtime. Try it out.

- note: when using the samples you can edit and recompile the code live.
Now bring both feet out of the box - I'll be working on this for the next little bit to perfect it for my needs, but I'd like to make it work for everyone.
Who doesn't need the ability to change thier existing SWF they made in CS4 to HTML... so it can be visible on iPhone?

MBP 2011 - Best way to make it behave like Mac Mini ?

I have a 26" NEC monitor I like and use for photo editing. I come from the Windows world. Late last year I bought a Mac Mini, hooked it up to my monitor and was getting used to OS X. Then my mini was stolen.
I recently replaced the stolen mac-mini with a 2011 13" MacBookPro i7 2.7, thinking I could hook it up to my NEC monitor like the mac mini, but I'm finding it's not really like that. It's more of a dual display setup that I'm finding awkward.
How can I make the external monitor be the main screen with dock and menu bar ?
Display settings are kind of primitive in this regard.
I can drag firefox from the MBP screen to the external screen, but the menu bar stays on the MBP. It's kinda weird. Moving the mouse back and forth isn't so fluid due to vast difference in resolution between the two screens.
Then there's the battery issue. If I leave the AC plugged in all the time, I read that isn't a good thing for battery life. It is however, convenient once in a while to pickup the MBP and carry it about the house.
What's the best way to make the MBP behave like a mini?

Thank you for the KB article, it helped.
The key is to have the power AC adapter plugged in on the MBP. Then, when it wakes from sleep after closing the lid the attached display becomes the one and only display with Dock and Menu bar up top. Otherwise, in battery mode, wake from sleep is a complete disaster. This clamshell mode seems to be very stubborn in battery mode. It wakes up, monitor flickers, goes back to sleep. Press a key to wake it up again and it just keeps going in a circle, like ground hog day and I never get to actually use the MBP.

Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?

What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
Thank you! Vielen Dank!

What are you talking about exactly?
If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
does not seem to make sense in this context though.

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Best way to make a Constant Power Load

What would be the best way to make a load that always draws the same amount of power whatever the voltage on it. For exemple, an load would draw 100 mA at 24 VDC, 150 mA at 18 VDC and 200 mA at 12 VDC. All I found is to use Nonlinear Dependant source.
Any easier way to do this? Thanks.

Sorry about the file mix up, I was anxious to get it posted for you that I failed to realize you were using a different version.
As far as the last "amplifier" in your Leaky Feeder design, I actually hooked it up to the 24VDC supply on the left and this was a direct connect before the first resistor. I realize this is not what would be ideal for your application as probably you have only a certain place in the Leaker Feeder to tap off from. I would suppose this would be going into a different entry way off the main entry at an intersection so I do not know how my adjusting the placing of this would effect the results because it seems to me by doing this I have bypassed a bunch resistance in the Feeder cable itself (if that is what the resistors represent) and also bypassed a number of amplification stages in the process as well.
I will post a picture of my circuit for you to examine and try in Version 9. This is the only thing I could come up with to where the power draw was the same no matter what the voltage input was. The only thing I can see as a drawback is that with this circuit the current remains constant but the voltage fluctuates. If I use a 24V regualtor and drop the input voltage to 12V the current remains at approx 118ma but the voltage drops to 12V when I plug it into your circuit.. I will let you try it and see what you may be able to do with it.

What is the best way to make a clickable grid

What would be the best way to make a clickable area that can
differentiate between discrete parts of the area when clicked on.
In other words, instead a having multiple buttons in a row that the
user can click on, is there a way to have an area that has lines to
distinguish the different areas(buttons) but that acts as though
there were multiple consecutive buttons?
For example, if I wanted to graphically simulate the buttons
on a phone but without using buttons. Instead use some kind of grid
or area that is divided into multiple sub areas that can
distinguish the discrete positions (each button on the phone, or
sub-area).
Thank you,

What is best way to make disk backup of CS5 downloaded installation?

Hi,
We purchased the downloadable version of the CS5 Production Premium installer rather than waiting 2 weeks to receive it in box form.
What do you suggest is the best way to make a backup of the downloaded installers, which total about 13.8 gigs? I was thinking of putting the main one on a dual layer DVD-R but the biggest file is 9.23 gb's, nearly a gig over the data limit for dual layer disks. Is it possible to use Toast to split a disk image over multiple files or use Apple Disk Utility to compress the .dmg even further to fit? Or perhaps is the easiest way to just copy it over to a USB thumb drive?
I know Adobe allows you to re-download the software whenever needed, but it would be more handy for us to have a backup here rather than wait for another really long download...
Suggestions?
Thanks!

You can buy a set of backup disks from Adobe for a nominal fee. You might want to give them a call and ask about it.
Otherwise, just back it all up to an external drive.

Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!
BrokenBell

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.

Neale

What is the best way to make a program fit different monitor resoultions?

In our lab all our test stations have 1280x1024 resoultion monitors. In the "other lab" all the test station monitors are 1440x900 resoultion.
Now I am tasked with making my programs run on the test stations in the other lab. I have tried setting the options "maintain proportions of windows for different monitor resoultions" and "Scale all object on front panel as the windows resizes" and of course neither one of these options really does what I would expect it to do.
What is the best way to make programs fit different monitor resoultions?

J-M wrote:
I resize the Front Panel when the program start to fit the monitor resolution. After that, I use the "SBE_Determine If Screen Resized.vi" from TomBrass (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Resizing-controls-on-a-tab-control-within-a-pane/td-p/1520244 ). This vi is very useful if you don't want to monopolize the CPU with the "Panel Resize" event.
I don't like this function for a couple reasons. First for the example you don't need any custom code to handle the window resizing, just use a couple splitters. Even if you did need to handle the resize, you only resize after the mouse is up after the resize which is not how normal Windows programs work they resize as the mouse moves. So I modified the VI to resize objects as you resize the window. Then because doing this can generate 100 events very quickly, I use a boolean in a shift register to make sure that we only handle the resize event if there is no new resize events after 0ms. This essentially makes a lossy queue and handles the last resize event.

What is the best way to make drawings an notes during class (on my iPad), which I can add to my (digital) handout later on?!

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio?

What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio if it is required to be installed for gnome?

KDE system Settings > Mulitmedia (in Hardware category) > Audio and Video options > Audio Playback
the default device shown there is the pulseaudio device, move it to the bottom of the list
Check all sub entries under Audio Playback to make sure they all have default at the bottom.
This SHOULD make KDE sound subsystem use the real hardware directly through Alsa instead of pulseaudio.

Best way to make a bootable backup on an external HD

What is the best way to make a bootable copy of the startup drive on my mac. I have an external HD which would work. I already run Timemachine but if I'm correct it isn't bootable.
IMAC using MT. Lion
thanks in advance

If you create either a new partition on the external or Wipe, Repartition the external, and then create a New Full TM backup on either the wiped or new partition with Lion installed as the OS and you have a Recovery HD partition that Recovery HD partitionwill be copied over to the New TM backup and will be bootable.
TM backups made with Lion installed over the top of older ones made with Snow Leopard does not create the Recovery HD file on the TM backup drive. Only new TM backups created when Lion is installed does this.
Ot you can create anopther partition the external and use one of the Cloning software programs to Clone your internal to that other partitions

Best way to make a booklet?

What's the best way to make a booklet on my Mac? I need to make something that is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 (so regular paper folded in half) allowing me to put 4 pages on one sheet of paper.
In the past, I've been able to make full sized pages, and make booklets via the copy machine at school (think music programs here) but someone recently told me there are ways to do this on a mac so that I could make as booklet and just bring to staples to print.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For starters, look at the "more like this" list on the right side of this page.
Then there is the answer I've used for several years.
1 - For a folded US letter-size booklet start with your Pages document in Legal size & larger than normal font size. Export the Pages document to a PDF & then drag the PDF to the icon of Cocoa Booklet. It will create a new PDF in booklet form. For international paper sizes, create the Pages document in the larger size with a larger font, i.e. create A4 pages to create A5 folded booklets. You can also use US tabloid or A3 to create larger booklets.
Next you'll need to use Create Booklet Service to create a booklet with any number of pages (best in a multiple of 4). You can create the booklet directly from the print dialog after you install the service. Again, for US letter size booklets, I find it best to create them in legal size as above. Downlond it from the link & run its installer. It will open the booklet in Preview. If you're using Lion, I suggest using File > Export to save the PDF where you can find it.
2 - This involves setting your Pages document in File > Page Setup… to landscape orientation & then paginating the document manually.
Use linked text boxes. This is easier done with the layout showing. First you need to add a page break to have two pages. Click in the body area & then Insert > Page Break. Now click outside the layout area to enter object mode & click the "T" in the tool bar or Insert > Text to create a text box & type something in it. This is to keep the box from disappearing if you click elsewhere & the text can be replaced later. If you already have some text to paste in you can just paste while in object mode & a text box containing your text will be created. You will now need to click outside the layout again & drag the cursor toward the text box to select it. You can now position the first text box in the lower right of your 2-page document. It is easier to see where it goes if you have the document set up with 2 columns. Click on the blue-outlined tab at the lower right of the text box to create a new of the same size & move the box to the upper left. Repeat for a box for the upper right & again for the lower right. You will now have 4 linked text boxes.
This will not let you automatically use page numbers because Pages "sees" each page & you actually have 2 pages per page. You'll need to create them manually. I would use text boxes.
