Can't grab several objects at once

Hi,
I can't grab more than one object at once. I'm also not seeing the bounding boxes around the objects. I must've pressed something that disabled me from being able to grab multiple objects. Please help
Thank you,
Paola

PalaciosDesign,
you move object/s using the Selection Tool (black pointer) or the Direct Selection Tool (white pointer) by clicking on one of the selected objects and dragging, it doesn't matter if any kind of bounding boxes are displayed. You are probably talking about the Selection Edges calling them Bounding Boxes and you probably hid them by accidentally pressing Ctrl + H. You can select to show or hide the Selection Edges from the View menu.
for example with, Selection Edges and Bounding Box hidden, select all (Ctrl+A), click and drag an object, you will be able to move all.

Can findText find two different objects at once?

I have written a script that finds all italicized words, then compares them to a character style that italicizes characters. If there are any italicized words that do not use the character style, the user is alerted.
Of course, not all fonts use a fontStyle that equals "Italic." Some use a fontStyle called "Oblique."
I was trying to figure out how the findText function could find two fontStyles at the same time. My solution was to realize that each find is an array. So I made two finds and the concatenated the arrays. The resultant array (here called myFoundItems) elements can be searched through to find any that do not have the correct character style applied.
My question is if the findText function can find more than two different objects at once or are we stuck with concatenating arrays?
Below is part of the script:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
initFindReplace(); [This function zeros out anything left in the find/change preferences]
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Italic";
var myFoundItems1 = myDoc.findText();
initFindReplace();
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Oblique";
var myFoundItems2 = myDoc.findText();
initFindReplace();
var myFoundItems = myFoundItems1.concat(myFoundItems2);
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
The reason why you end up with an array of arrays is this: you define an array allMyFoundItems, then you iteratively collect other arrays using findText and insert ("push") these arrays into allMyFoundItems. Instead, you should use concatenate:
var allMyFoundItems = new Array;
for (. . .
   var myFoundItems = myDoc.findText();
   allMyFoundItems = allMyFoundItems.concat (myFoundItems)
If you'll allow me a further comment, you could formulate your test to check whether a fontstyle name contains oblique or italic in one line:
>if (arrFontStyles[k].search (/(italic|oblique)/i) > -1)
And as the script searches but doesn't change anything, there's no need to set the ChangeTextPreferences. Your script could then be stated as follows:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var arrFontStyles = myDoc.fonts.everyItem().fontStyleName;
aa = findFontStyle (arrFontStyles);
function findFontStyle (arrFontStyles)
   var allMyFoundItems = new Array;
   var myFoundItems2 = new Array;
   app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
   for(var k = 0; k < arrFontStyles.length; k++)
      if (arrFontStyles[k].search (/(italic|oblique)/i) > -1)
         app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = arrFontStyles[k];
         var myFoundItems = myDoc.findText();
         allMyFoundItems = allMyFoundItems.concat (myFoundItems);
         }//end if
      }//end for k
   return allMyFoundItems;
   }//end findFontStyle function
As to formatting scripts in the forum, you can do this by wrapping your code in <pre> and </pre>. Also replace < with < (< causes all lines of code to be displayed on one line). You should also replace curly quotes with straight codes, and tabs with (non-breaking) spaces. I use the following script for that:
tf = app.documents.add().textFrames.add ({geometricBounds: [0,0,'700pt','500pt']})
tf.insertionPoints[0].select();
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;
app.paste();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
sara (tf, '&', '&');
sara (tf, '<', '<');
sara (tf, '\\t', '   ');
sara (tf, "'", "'");
sara (tf, '"', '"');
tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[0].contents = '<pre>';
tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = '</pre>';
function sara (tf, f, r)
   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = f;
   app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = r;
   tf.parentStory.changeGrep ()
Copy the text of the script you want to prepare for posting, then run this above script. It creates a new InDesign document, pastes your script into it, and makes all the necessary changes. Then copy that and paste it into the forum.

Can't grab Object under another Object

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with this:
In one of my slides I have two highlight boxes which occur at
different times during the slide. One is larger than the other, and
the smaller one fits entirely within the border of the larger one.
The problem is that I can't grab the smaller highlight box to edit
its position because the larger highlight box is always selected no
matter where I click. I can click on the smaller highlight box in
the timeline and double-click to edit its size and position using
screen coordinates, but this is very hit and miss. The only way
I've been able to do it so far is to move the large highlight out
of the way, edit the smaller one's position, and then move the
large one back to its correct location. Is there a way to grab the
smaller highlight box without having to do this?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric
You didn't say, but hopefully you are using Captivate version
2. If so, this will be infinitely easier.
If you are using Captivate 2, just click the Object row in
the column where the eye icon is at the top to hide the object in
front. Then you are free to double-click the highlight box that is
behind.
If it's Captivate 1, you might try right-clicking the one in
front and sending it backward a layer or two. Or, you could cut it
and temporarily paste it to another slide, work with the one you
want, then cut from the other slide and paste back.
Cheers... Rick

Hi tried to update several apps at once no they are stuck on installing.i can't delete them or open them.any suggestions?

Hi tried to update several apps at once and now they are stuck on installing.I can't open or delete them. Any suggestions ?

Here are a number of things that have worked in the past that you can try. If you already tried something in here, just ignore it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How can I export several versions at the same time?

Greetings -
I'm looking for something that I may just be missing, and hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
Basically, I'd like to be able to select an image in my library and export several versions at the same time. For example, I select a photo and export JPG, TIFF and PSD versions in one shot without having to run three separate export requests - essentially a batch action. I can't imagine that this isn't built in already - I'm just assuming that I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone might have.
John.

Fwiw, I've not seen this requested before.
This kind of Export option is very typical, Kirby, when the rendering of the exported version will take a long time, for example for video or audio. Then you can share several formats at once, to render a version suitable for the web, for viewing on the computer, or the iPhone at the same time. That is really useful, if you render a movie at a full HD resolution and don't have to do it again for an iPhone/iPod version.
QuickTime 7 does this for the "File > Export for Web" option, for example. You can get three versions of your final movie at the same time.
And I just checked, the new iMovie Theater does this as well, when sharing a movie to the Theater:
When you add a movie, trailer, or clip to the Theater, iMovie creates versions of your movie tailored for local playback, playback on an iOS device, and streaming.
Come to think about it - exporting a webpage from Aperture will also export thumbnail sized images plus a larger version for downloading.

Can you edit multiple photos at once like in Lr

I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?

The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports these actions.)
When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files.
Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
Folder Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
Import Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
Opened Files Processes all open files.
Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)Note: The Watermark option enables you to add a permanent visual watermark to images. For more information, see this article.
Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
Click OK to process and save the files.

How can I create a object for a note?

Hi experts,
I need to apply the note 501905 but when I try in the SNOTE transacction I receive this error:
Object REPS Z_MRM_DELETE_PP does not exist; create it
Diagnosis
The SAP Note that you want to implement contains changes to an object that does not yet exist in your system.
SAP Notes contain only changes to objects that already exist. This means that the the system cannot automatically create new objects during the implementation of this SAP Note.
Procedure
1. Cancel the SAP Note implementationl.
2. Create an empty object REPS Z_MRM_DELETE_PP with the corresponding object editor.
3. Restart the SAP Note implementation.
How can I create that Object??
Thanks for the help!

Hi Carlos,
It says that you have to create a new program with a name Z_MRM_DELETE_PP.
Once you create and activate the program you can execute the SAP Note.
All this processure will be written in the SAP Note.
Please Go through the Note using below:
Step1: Use T.code SNOTE.
Step2: Use menu GOTO --> NOTE BROWSER. Provide the Note no and EXECUTE.
Step3: Double click on the displayed line.
Here you will get the information to do before implementing the note.
Go through all the documentation, and once you did all the development given in the note then you can implement the note.

Sreekanth.

Resize multiple objects at once

How do I set the height of mutliple objects at once? I'm creating a form and the I want to ensure all the text fields are the some height.

OK...I guess my question stems from wondering how you're creating your Text Frames in the first place, and after that, how you copy and resize them.
When I do this sort of thing, I like to use the Rectangle Frame Tool, then I click in the document and enter the size numerically. Then Option + Drag to create copies. The "Content" parameter for the frames can be assigned now, or later, after you resize them.
I guess what I don't understand is how you're resizing them? You're doing them individually, and manually, to fit the space, right? If you constrain the resizing to horizontal only, you shouldn't have a problem with the height of the boxes changing.
I dunno, maybe I'm missing something from your workflow that presents a special case?

Viewing data kept in "services for object" for several objects in alv grid?

Dear Experts,

How can I pass an object to a function by value?

Hi
I have a function with an argument. this argument is an object. I don't want to alter this object. But java passes this object by reference and some fields in this object are altered after function return.
How can I pass this object by value and keep my original data unbroken?
thanks for any help

If it's legacy code and has been badly designed, there's probably very little you can do to protect existing code short of a complete refactoring.
What you could do as an interim measure is:
1. Create an immutable wrapper to your existing mutable class.
2. Create new methods that replicate the existing ones, but take the immutable class instead.
3. Deprecate the old methods.
This won't break client code, but they will now get warnings when they compile and you can add documentation to point them to the new class/methods.
If you are in control of the code (especially if you're still in the design stages), you've got several options:
1. As Dr.Clap says, make your class immutable (probably best).
2. If this isn't possible, create mutable and immutable variants of your class. This is often best achieved by hanging them both from an interface.

Where we can use standard ODS Object and Trasactional ODS Object ?

Where we can use standard ODS Object and Trasactional ODS Object ?

Hi,
In a standard ODS object, data is stored in different versions (active, delta, modified), whereas a transactional ODS object contains the data in a single version. Therefore, data is stored in precisely the same form in which it was written to the transactional ODS object by the application. In BW, you can use a transaction ODS object as a data target for an analysis process. The transactional ODS object is also required by diverse applications, such as SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) for example, as well as other external applications.Transactional ODS objects allow data to be available quickly. The data from this kind of ODS object is accessed transactionally, that is, data is written to the ODS object (possibly by several users at the same time) and reread as soon as possible.
It offers no replacement for the standard ODS object. Instead, an additional function displays those that can be used for special applications.

R.Ravi

Several photos at once

A simple question for those of you who do these: 1) How do I display several images at once on the screen -- minimize each piece so they can all fit on the screen? 2) I'm putting together a series and need the colors of one image to match the same color on the other images (which is why I want to line them up in #1). To do this, I've tried using the eyedropper to sample, then drop the color into the other images: I've also tried reading the numeric number for a color, then copy the same color on another image. I'm not having much luck, though it could be due to my ineptness. (Note: The images are already made. Right now I'm just trying to tweak the colors so they match.) Any ideas on either 1 or 2? Thanks.

Hi There,
1. Window > Arrange > Tile, You can also match the zoom across open Window Arrange > Match Zoom
2. A couple of options I'm going to suggest, depends on the result you are after
a. You could make images Monotone?
First make the images Grayscale, Image > Mode > Grayscale
Then Duotone Image > Mode > Duotone
Just use one ink for Montone, you can then change back to CMYK/RGB to avoid having spot colours
b. Image > Adjustments > Match color... Here you can choose the target file that you are trying to match. A much more subtle match of tones and colors.

Printing several documents at once

Hello,
We are looking for a possibility to print out several originals at once (mass print). The originals might belong to several DIRs. I know that there are external solutions available (e.g. from SEAL Systems). But my question is wheather there are SAP solutions available for this requirement. I can think of printing from CV04N result list, printing from EasyDMS (printing complete EasyDMS folder), printing from CAD-Desktop (CDESK) or from Web Documents. But in SAP Standard (ECC 6.0) you can alway just print one original at a time. I really appreciate any information!
Thank you!

I can't drag data objects to human task

Hi,
I am newbie using SOA, BPM and Jdeveloper.
I am following a tutorial to learn how to create and implement a process, but I get stuck when I need to create the human tasks.
When I create the human task, I can't drag data objects to the parameter table.
I delete and begin the tutorial a several times. And the issue persist.
I don't know if I miss a step, but I read and implement the tutorial carefully.
Any advice or someone have a good tutorial for begginers in that Platform.
Systems Specs:
Oracle Databse 11g R2
SOA 11.1.1.6.0
Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.6.0
Thanks in advance

Hi Jose,
If you're doing this using the Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g tutorial, I'd need more information.
I doubt that this is the case, but just on the outside chance that it was the result of some procedural mistake you made, I created a short video that steps you through this.
If you'll export your project and store it on some file sharing site that I can get to, I'll be glad to take a look at it for you.
You haven't gotten to these steps in the tutorial, yet but after just looking at it I noticed a couple issues you I believe that you'll run into:
The way it has you changing the role name from "Role" to "Requestor" will not work. If you follow the instructions, you will not be able to create new instances (nothing will appear in the Applications link). The reason is that there is a bug so that when you deploy the project after changing the name in Organization to another role, the deployed project keeps the original name (Role in this case) but your role assignment can only be set to the new name (Requestor). Before you get to that step, make sure that you have added a new Requestor role in the process.
The tutorial was written for 11.1.1.3 and if you're on a release after the 11.1.1.5 feature pack you will see that the data mapping is done completely differently. Look at the video I have in the link above before doing this step. While this step in the tutorial will be confusing, you can figure it out if you note the "Input" and "Output" tabs at the top of the Data Associations dialog. You just need to drag the object on the left (e.g., "hello") over to the object on the right (e.g., "helloObject").
Hope this helps,
Dan
