Cannot Align Two Objects On Each Other

I have done a completely clean install of Creative Cloud CS6 on my mac on Mountain Lion. First time opening Illustrator, and I cannot center two vector objects on each other. Rather, when I click to center them (vertically or horizontally) it actually pushes them further apart! It also appears to be arbitrarily selecting another object on my art board when I select these two (there is no grouping overlap, it makes no sense). I've looked around before, and have 'align to selection' checked, and 'snap to grid/snap to point' unchecked in the 'view' dropdown. Going to try to trash my preferences, but this is literally the first time I've opened it, so I can't see how that would be an issue!
I use this tool CONSTANTLY in what I do, so this is really troubling. Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? Thanks so much!!

I held down Option+Command+Shift while opening Illustrator (as offered in another thread as a way to trash/reset preferences). I know it did this as I had changed the color scheme to light grey, and it's back to dark grey.
Opened up original file. Now, I can center things horizontally alright, but vertically jumped the both of them way down the page.
Created a new file. Could center horizontally, centering vertically did absolutely nothing—no jumping down the page, no doing what it should be doing...nada.

  • Two Objects Following Each Other While Maintaining Minimum Distance

    Hello,
    I'm trying to solve a problem where I have one circle following another ( the first following the mouse ), yet maintain a minimum distance between the two circles.
    The code is pretty simple. For the lead circle I'm moving it as follows on the movement of the mouse:
    circle.x = event.stageX + 8.000000E-001 * ( circle.x - event.stageX );
    circle.y = event.stageY + 8.000000E-001 * ( circle.y - event.stageY );
    Then I'm moving the secondary circle as:
    circle2.x = circle.x + 8.000000E-001 * ( circle2.x - circle.x );
    circle2.y = circle.y + 8.000000E-001 * ( circle2.y - circle.y );
    This works remarkably well, however, I want to be able to increase the distance between the two circles and enforce a minimum. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate the assistance. Thanks.

    Thanks for responding. To what are you referencing that I increase by .008, not following? Thanks.

  • Link two LRT224 with each other using VPN

    What's the best way to connect two LRT224 with each other, which are in two different citys?
    Open VPN or IPSec?
    I think Gateway to Gateway should be the right mode, but I am very unsure with the lot of settings ...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try the EasyLink VPN feature of LRT214/LRT224, which simplifies the site-to-site VPN setup.
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=03cf456383fc4d958cf918110c7fcd42_How_to_configure_...
    EasyLink VPN works in the following way conceptually.
    1. At the primary site, enable EasyLink VPN Server (inbound tab on the Web GUI) and create an account (username/password) for each remote site.
    2. At a remote site, enable EasyLink VPN Client (outbound tab on the Web GUI), and enters the matching account credentials (username/password).
    3. The remote site will automatically reach out to the primary site to establish an IPsec tunnel.
    Note: LRT224 can support up to five EasyLink VPN peers in a star VPN topology.

  • Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep

    Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep the lips red and turn the rest of the face into black ? I tried shaping but the result was negative because the shape was moving all teh time , I tried color correction but the face and lips`s color was similar so I couldn`t do it with that , is there any other way ? Thanks so much

    You're gonna have fun with this because the HSL qualifiers probably won't see much separation between the areas that you want to isolate. You could try combinations of turning off Hue, Saturation, or Luminance. See what you get.
    Otherwise you're into a roto. (Manually tracked and animated User Shape)

  • Both disc drives broke within two weeks of each other?

    I bought an imac and macbook pro about a year and a half ago and within two weeks of each other, both have broken. They have always been awkward to insert/eject disc to/from, but now they either don't accept discs in or wont spit them out. Surely this isn't coincidence as they get very different usage from each other. Also, i've just upgraded to 10.6.8. Is this a known problem? Can i request Apple fix these issues for free, as i don't really feel one and a half years is acceptable for the breakdown of both machines, especially as they get very little usage.

  • Why users cannot send private messages to each other?

    why users cannot send private messages to each other?

    I think what the forum software has to offer is neither rocket science, nor anything new or generally unknown. The vendor or OTN should have enough experience and at least tested the forum software to make sure it functions as advertised. Unfortunately however it seems that the OTN staff is either not very good at testing the product or they just leave it up to the community to find out. Some of the previous issues are so obvious that I would rather suspect the later.
    I would not want to spoil anyone's fun, but I would be reluctant to enable private messaging because I think community members should exchange questions and answers in public and not through private channels. If anybody wants to send me a private message, for instance, my email address is visible in the bio field of my user profile. This way at least I can respond at my convenience, outside of Oracle's jurisdiction, or simply bounce an email if I feel like it.
    And btw, I'm somewhat concerned about current privacy settings. What business is it of anyone else to see my bookmarks and the content I'm following?

    In IDCS5 I want to align two footnotes so it begins at the same height point.

    Ah yes - you cannot get Footnotes to Span Columns - it's very frustrating and I'v been campaigning for this feature since CS2
    Please join the cause http://forums.adobe.com/message/2744922#2744922
    For now you will have to make them endnotes and manually sit them across two columns.
    Here's a script that converts indesign footnotes to endnotes (as InDesign can't do that either - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1345518)
    How to install and use scripts http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php
    After you've created endnotes - you will have to cut them from the main text frame.
    Then you make a new frame and manually place the text frames at the end of the appropriate pages.

    On each phone go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and select only the phone number of the phone in question. Each phone should have only its own number selected. F each phone has its own unique email address you can select that as well. But do not select any phone number or email address that resides on a different phone.

  • Two JTables changing each others data

    I have the following swing setup:
    JPanel mainPanel with GridLayout(0, 1)
    JPanel tablePanelA with BorderLayout
    JPanel tablePanelB with BorderLayout
    JTable tableA
    JTable tableB
    The tables are 2 rows by 7 columns, and are two distinct instances of a class i wrote that extends JTable. They look and act the same, but there are two seperate references. They both use JComboBoxes to allow selectable data in each of the 14 cells.
    I then have:
    tablePanelA.add(tableA)
    tablePanelB.add(tableB)
    mainPanel.add(tablePanelA)
    mainPanel.add(tablePanelB)
    This sets up my main panel with the two tables on it looking how I want it to look. Heres the problem. Whenever I change the data in a cell in either table, the corresponding cell in the other table changes to that same data item also. For example, if i change cell 0,4 in table A to "None", then cell 0,4 in table B will also change to "None". You only see the change on a refresh of the panel, by changing windows to and from the panel, etc. Any ideas on why my tables would be changing each others data?

    Any ideas on why my
    tables would be changing each others data?It sounds like you're sharing a single TableModel instance between the two tables. When one table updates the model, it fires a TableModelEvent which notifies both JTable instances to update their views.

  • Compiling simultaneously two classes referencing each other

    Hi,
    When we want to compile 2 classes simultaneously in a package, we give command --
    javac package-name/*.java
    Suppose the two classes are ClassA and ClassB and ClassA has a reference of ClassB. So the compiler will finish compiling ClassB before compiling ClassA.
    But, if both the classes have each others' reference, how does compiler resolve this? Because, even in that case both classes get compiled
    Regards,
    Amit

    Lets say that compilation is done in 2 steps.
    The first step is done for all files first.
    Then the second step is done for all files.
    That means that for the second step the compile-time resolution has takes place.
    Two classes that refers to each other must go through the first step in
    the same compilation so that in the second step when
    they are referring to each other they are easily resolved.
    This is different from runtime resolution.

  • Can two functions call each other?

    I'm converting some code and have run into two functions that call each other. While I seem to have converted both functions to plsql ok, they do not compile, seemingly because they ref each other. As soon as I de-reference one one function's call to the other function they both compile.
    I know that Oracle 10g supports recursion; and on the surface of things, this situation does not seem much different than recursion. If both functions are well formed, I would hope that they'd compile.
    I wasn't able to find much by searching the forums on this topic...but I'm hoping that someone will have some info on this issue.

  • Image objects following each other--the easy way?

    I have a series of images that scroll up the screen. There are 35 or so of them and they follow each other like a filmstrip. I have been creating one layer and copying one motion path for each, staggering them in the timeline. This works great, but it's a drag if I decide to change the timing. I then have to go to each one and move it individually.
    Is there an easier way?

    well if your images are a fixed size, it should be too hard to work out the offset for each. But you can move the parent group around as you arrange your images, and then move it back to its start position when you're ready to roll (pun intended).
    I liked specialcases solution though, seems tricky to set up if you're unfamilar with the replicator but powerful. And once set up it woul dbe easy to replace the images at any later stage.
