Can't Move Text Into Vanishing Point Plane

For some reason, when I select text and attempt to paste it into a vanishing point plane, the selection ends up 200% longer than what it should be, and I can't move the text layer into the plane. Screenshot attached.

After you paste the text, (or anything previously copied to the clipboard before entering Vanishing Point) into Vanishing Point, there is no reason why you can't use Free Transform to scale it back to your required size, and aspect ratio.  If the text or object is too big, and the FT handles are outside the VP Plane, just drag it down so you can see the upper handles, scale it down, and drag it back into position.
Note: that when using FT Perspective on any object (I am talking about outside of VP) it tends to exaggerate the 'length' because that's how we would probably see the object in real life.  Perspective I just about the only time I actually right click and chose an option from within FT, because it is so easy and quick to Ctrl (Cmd) drag a corner or center handle.
Unfortunately you only get the basic FT options of size and aspect ratio from within VP, which is a pity because you can't distort your object to apparently wrap onto a curved surface.  I added some FT warp to this text before applying it from within VP.  I suspect I am missing a trick or two with VP as I don't use it very often, so I'd love to hear from someone who really has it under control?

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • I upgraded to Lightroom 3.4 and can't move photos into collections or files

    I upgraded to Lightroom 3.4 and can't move photos into collections or files

    To move a photo into a collection, you point your mouse at the photo(s) (not the gray rectangle around the photo) and drag it into a collection.
    You can't move a photo into a file. Perhaps you meant something else?

  • Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    The install of 2014 doesn't move or copy anything from a previous version, with the exception of settings. You can go into your Photoshop CC installation folder, navigate to your plugins folder and then just copy all the plugins you've installed from that folder and into the Photoshop CC 2014 plugins folder. The plugins should then be available in 2014 the next time you launch Photoshop.
    The only thing that may prevent this from working is if you're using the 32bit version of Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC 2014 is 64bit only so 32bit plugins don't work. If this is the case for you, check out the manufacturer of the plugins and see if they have 64bit versions available.

  • Can i save a query in one package and then can i move it into another .....

    can i (in bw 3.5)save a query in one package and then, can i move it into another package? if yes what is the procedure? if no, why? if yes , after moving can i see that query in one package or both? plzzzzzzzz its urgent....

    Hi Neeraja,
    Yes, you can save a query in one package and then move it into another package and transport the query with new package.
    There are two ways...
    1. You can change  the package assignment from one to another with the same request and transport the objects with request assigned to the new package.
    2. You can create a new request and assign the new request to new package and transport the new request with new package assignment.
    For first one, follow below process...
    Changing the assignment:
           1.      Choose  Package in the toolbar of screen area Collected Objects in RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
    The Select Objects for Changing package dialog box appears.
           2.      Select the objects whose package assignment you want to change.
    This procedure is especially useful for changing all collected objects, or a large number of them. For this reason, all indicators are set by default. Remove the indicators for individual objects where necessary.
    Note: You can only use  Details to display the details for an individual object when this is the only object that is selected.
           3.      Choose  Copy. The Change Object Directory Entry dialog box appears.
           4.      Enter the new package.
    For second one, you need to add the query in the transport organiser and assign new request and transport package and then go for transport. But this will create two requests on the same query. So, don't go for this. First step is preferable.
    Hope this helps u...
    Regards,
    KK.

  • Can i save a query in one package and later can i move it into another ....

    can i save a query in one package and then can i move it into another package? if yes what is the procedure? if no, why? if yes , after moving can i see that query in one package or both? plzzzzzzzz  its urgent....

    I'm not sure about Queries, but most (all) development objects can be reassigned. This is done in transaction SE09. Press the icon with the hammer. On next screen mark node which says something like:
    change object entry, or something like it.
    and press execute button.
    On the next screen enter the object R3TR and object name for Queries. In the input field fill in the name of the Query and press F8. On the final screen you can change the package assignment.
    You could possibly also do this via menu of the query screen itself. Must be somewhere in the menu (object entry, object directory, or....).
    If you have done this, you will see the query no longer in the old package, but only in the new one.
    Good luck.

  • I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

    Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
    Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

    With the latest version of iTunes, my library screen has changed completely and I no longer have a Summary tab to select manual syncing of my iPod when I plug it into my computer.
    That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
    Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
    Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
    Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

  • QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

    I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

    I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
    I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
    Could anybody please help.

  • Can`t movies files into iTunes

    Hi,

    Itunes only accepts MP4, M4V and MOV formats.  You will have to get a third party Video converter to convert AVI to Apple format.

  • Can't move photos into albums

    Hi there,
    ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
    When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
    When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
    Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  • When using firefox beta can not enter text into reply areas on forums.

    When visiting vbulletin type sites, the firefox beta will not enter text into the message reply text box. Seems to be only a problem on honeycomb os.

    This sounds like a known bug in Firefox 4: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624163

  • Can't insert text into web page plus script error message

    I'm using CS3 and, on a fairly regular basis, when I am either pasting or inserting content (usually a newsletter of 500-1000 words), I get a message saying something like I can't insert text in this area. I definitely can insert text in the area as I have done it tons of times before. I sometimes have to cut and past a doc line by line to get it to insert. Very frustrating!
    Also, just recently, I've been getting a script error message, "An error has occurred in the script of this page" followed by Line: 992, Char: 106, Error: Unterminated String Constant, followed by the question: Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? I click Yes and everything seems to work fine.
    Help on either would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    You might want to make sure you are trying to copy plain text. It's possible that if you are copying from a Word document or another Web site that you are bringing along extra unseen code it doesn't like.  Try copying into Notepad first and then copying from Notepad into Contribute.  Not sure if that's the problem or not, but that's what came to my head first.
    I used to get an error that sounds similar (however it's not reproducing the error for me right now) to your error.  It was because some of my users had javascript menus on their page that Contribute didn't like.  However, if worked fine when you clicked yes and it was fine once it was published.   So if you are running a script that's probably why and I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you can continue working and the page displays to your users correctly once published.  It's just annoying.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

  • When in yahoo mail I can't move mail into the drop down folders below HTheeninyaabout the 9th folder I the drop down menu.

    When in yahoo mail I can't move my read mail into the drop down folders below about the 9th folder in the drop down menu.  What am I doing wrong?

    To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.
