Clipping mask is clipping my lines and not the actual object.

Hi all,I'm using the latest CC Illustrator.
I'm so frustrated and hope someone can help me, I've already spent a few hours trying to figure this out and looked through a number of tutorials and troubleshoot forums and I cant find an answer.
How do I stop the clipping mask from clipping inside the line itself, instead of my within the object. I'm still a newbie and I know I've done something wrong somewhere. I just cant figure out what.
Here are a couple of screenshots of my problem.
The end result looks pretty cool, but since this is for an assignment, I need it to work properly.
Help!

You are welcome. No you don't need to undo, you are on the right track, you expanded the lines in order to clip mask with a lighter image, now you need to use PathFinder to fill the holes (the turtle's shells) and clipmask them with a darker image like two turtle I created a few years ago. To use pathfinder, place a large rectangle behind the turtle expanded lines (compound path), select the expanded artwork and the rectangle and click PathFinder Divide button, at this point you will have the holes filled with paths and grouped with the original paths, so ungroup them. Then you select the newly generated paths and clip mask with a different and darker image. This attach image was done with PathFinder, pen tool and live paint. The images I used are real wood species, that I scanned into .jpg files.

  • I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?

    I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?
    Facts:
    In moving to a new iMac, I copied the iPhoto library to an external HDD assuming that I would point the new iMac to the backed up iPhoto Library
    All worked fine when I pointed the new library but noticed that some folders contained aliases and not the original file. So when I attempt to open that photo it can't find it because the alias is pointing to another drive.
    I do have all original photos from a couple of external HDDs. In the folders titled, "Originals" (from older versions of iPhoto) and "Masters" (from current iPhoto)
    I'm thinking I can create a new folder and drop the original files and make that my new iPhoto library. Is there a better way to rebuild my library? I do not want to create any future aliases.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
    It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
    Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
    It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
    You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it  --  and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

  • I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

    It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

  • Delete only the child object and not the parent object

    Hi,
    I have the below code:-
    TAnswer
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
         @JoinColumn(name = "question_id", nullable = false)
    //     @Cascade(value=CascadeType.ALL)
         public TQuestion getTQuestion() {
              return this.TQuestion;
         }     TQuestion
    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "TQuestion", orphanRemoval = true)
         @Cascade(value=CascadeType.ALL)
         /*@Cascade({org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE,
                org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.DELETE,
                org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.MERGE,
                org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.PERSIST,
                org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN})*/
         public List<TAnswer> getTAnswers() {
              return this.TAnswers;
                   In Java:-
         public void removeAnswers(TQuestion question)
                        throws ApplicationException {
                   List<TAnswer> answerList =  question.getTAnswers();
                   deleteall(answerList);

                   } catch (Exception e) {
                        throw new ServerSystemException(ErrorConstants.DATA_LAYER_ERR, e);
         }               Here the "deleteall" will delete both the answer records and question records, I don't want the questions
         records to be deleted. I have tried making the question as null when we set the answer object to be passed for delete
         bit still it is     deleting the question records as well.How to achieve the above in deleting only the answer (child) records
         and not the question(parent) record? Is there any thing we need to do with @Cascade for Question object? Please clarify.
    Thanks.

    What does deleteAll do, it doesn't look like a JPA method. You might want to ask your question on your provider forum, or use straight JPA methods as a simple EntityManager.remove(answer) on each answer in the collection should work.

  • MR11 Report with document lines and not line items

    Dear All,
    We are currently using the transaction code MR11 to display the open GRs where the system displays them per line item (shows 10 lines for example for 1 PO document).
    We want the report to only show the PO or GR document number (unique) and not the material lines (just one line with the document number so each line would be a different document number). Is there a similar report that can do this or even can the MR11 Trx be altered to achieve this?
    We have tried the filter but it does not seem to work.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    George

    Hi raghavendra,
    Thanks for your quick response.I know that MR11 is used for account maintenance but it is also a report since it shows the open GRs that have not yet been turned to Invoice Verification.
    The transaction you are suggesting is for open purchase orders and not open Goods Receipt (even though we 101 says Open Goods Receipt).
    Maybe another Selection criteria would be helpful or other report all together.
    Waiting for your feedback.
    Regards,
    George

  • Shell authorization works only on vty lines and not on console

    Why does command authorization only works for the vty line and NOT for the consoles?
    I use ACS for Win 3.3.(1)
    any input are very welcome
    Configuration
    aaa new-model
    aaa authentication login VTY group tacacs+ local
    aaa authentication login CONSOLE group tacacs+ local
    aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
    aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ none
    aaa authorization commands 15 default group tacacs+ none
    line con 0
    login authentication CONSOLE
    line vty 0 4
    login authentication VTY

    By default, console authorization is turned off, even with all the standard authorization commands in your configuration. This was done deliberately to leave the console connection as a "back door" to get into the router in case you lock yourself out (which is easy to do with authorization). The theory is that if someone has access to your console port, you have a lot more to worry about than command authorization :-)
    If you really, really want to do this, make sure it works fine first on the VTY's, and then issue the hidden command:
    aaa authorization console

  • HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

    Hello dear Mac users
    How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
    I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
    For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
    I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
    I hope someone will understand my needs...
    Thanks!

    Thanks BeerbarX
    You can't change the preview image for anything

    In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
    That is exactly what I'm asking about !
    MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
    How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
    Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

  • Is there a way of having the email name show and not the Company name.

    I have a few address listing for Companies that have 7 or 8 names.
    I have them listed with the custom names for each person separately.
    I really do not need separate e-mail listings for each person.
    Is there a way that would list the individuals name on the email header and not the Company name.
    IOW's : ABC company and a listing for John Smith shows ABC when I mail it.
    I gather also that it would show ABC when John Smith received it.
    I am trying to give it a more personal touch without creating dozens of additional address's.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for replying Dan, you're right, I should provide more context.
    I want to be able to duplicate a shape inside a layer a number of times, and with every duplicated shape, I want that shape to evaluate what number it is (based on a name I give it so I could name it '1' and then use something like 'eval(propertyname)' to return a number or perhaps use an index to count the number of shapes in the layer) and multiply that number by some set of rules that I can define and control through a list of expression controls on another layer. This would allow me to duplicate a square 10 times and have each square's position do something like
    x = thisShapeNumber + shapeLength * TranslateExpressionControl;
    y = 0;
    [x,y]
    which would form a long line of squares for instance. Does that make sense?
    thanks in advance!

  • Email workflow showing domain and alias and not the name in the email

    I created an email workflow for a specific user field value to receive an email on a trigger event.
    However, the email received shows the DOMAIN/Alias and not the "Name" in the email content.
    How to correct this error? Not sure where is the issue is.
    Sample:
    Hello [%Current Item: Reviewer%] is the greeting line.
    If Reviewer is say Domain A/v-abcd and Name is Abcd.
    The email reads
    "Hello Domain A/v-abcd" and not "Hello Abcd"

    Hi,
    Just select "Display Name" instead of "Login Name" in the "Return field as" field of Lookup dialog.
    It should help.

  • Using the text and not the value of a filed

    Hi there,
    I'm programming a pdf form using life cycle, I'm using the following script in a "SEND TO" button in order to email an XML file with the data extracted from the form:
    var emailAddress = F.P1.Line.rawValue;
    var veicle = F.P1.Vehicle.rawValue;
    var shipper = F.P1.Shipper.rawValue;
    var date = F.P1.Date.rawValue;
    event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+emailAddress+"?subject=Booking request from "+shipper+" date:"+date+" &body=Dear Sirs,Please find attached the completed PDF booking form for the following "+veicle+".",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
    The problem is that I would like to use in a variable the text and not the value of the F.P1.Line.raw field.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    This is not the appropriate forum to post this type of question. Please post all designer related queries in LiveCYcle Designer Forum to receive better response.
    From you query I understand you have a dropdown box with name as "Line". And you want to the "text" part of the selected item and not the "value" part. If it is so then do the following -
    1. Write the below code in onCHange event of your dropdown box.
    var ddValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
    var nodeList = this.resolveNode("#items").nodes;
    var ddText = null;
    for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.length; i++)
    if (this.boundItem(nodeList.item(i).value) == ddValue)
    ddText = nodeList.item(i).value;
    break;
    global.selectedtxt = ddText;
    In the above code I am basically getting the "text" part of the item selected and then I am storing it in a global variable.
    2.
    Write the below code on click event of your button -
    var emailAddress = global.selectedtxt;
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • I dropped my iphone and not the scrren but the upper black part cracked????

    I dropped my iphone and not the screen but the upper black part of the phone cracked.... how do i get that fixed???? anyone please just let me know

    Yes, I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. Please note the next line in the iPhone Service FAQ:
    "Service may not be available if your iPhone has been damaged due to accident or abuse. "
    and later down the page:
    "Apple reserves the right to refuse service on iPhones that are outside their warranty period if damage has occurred due to accident, abuse, or misuse. In such event, Apple will return your original iPhone to you without performing service, and may hold you responsible for diagnostic fees. "
    So again, the OP may not be able to get a dropped iPhone repaired, though calling Apple is the only way he/she will know for sure.

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.
