Default drawing aids

Hi!
Is there a way to define default drawing aids? For example, I would like a form to show a specific grid, with "snap to grid activated" and "snap to center of page" deactivated directly after it is created, without having to define that grid for that form. The reason is the sheer number of forms I'm dealing with (many fragments), and for each one I've got to define the grid from the beginning.
The other problem is that Livecycle Designer always seems to activate "snap to center of page" again some time after i deactivated it. This seems to happen when editing another document (without closing the current window) or when scrolling to annother page, or... I get it all the time. How do I prevent that?
Regards,
Jost

Hi radzmar,
my problem is not to find the drawing aids dialog. It is to define default values for the drawing aids. For example: If I create a new document, I want the horizontal grid resolution to be 16/in, the vertical grid resolution to be 32/in, and "snap to grid" should be activated, all other "snap to"s deactivated. But in a new document, resolutions are both set to either 4/in or 8/in, "snap to grid" is deactivated, and "snap to center of page" is activated.
And since I've got lots of fragments, and a separate document for each, this really annoys me.
Greetings,
Jost

Drawing Aids palette

I would like to change the grid size on my drawing page. According to the help, I need to use the Drawing Aids palette. I'm supposed to be able to display it by double-clicking on the rules, but nothing displays.
What does the palette look like? And how else can you display it?

Here is a screenshot. It is usually anchored on the bottom left of the screen

Drawing Aids: Gudline Sets

in the Drawing Aids window you can choose some Guideline sets (e.g. US Letter, Us-Legal).
How can I create own Guideline sets.
Thank You for your help.

Intermittant dialog draw proc CRASH

Hi,
I am developing Illustrator CS2 plugin for Mac using Xcode 1.5/OS 10.3.9. I have intermittant problem with display of certain dialog. I have overridden dialog's draw procedure with my own, which calls default draw and then adds some additional text and icon.
Usually it dislays fine.
Sometimes however, it starts to draw my text and then I get bad crash out of Illustrator. Some of crash log is below. Perhaps it is recursivly calling my display proc?
Tried debugging. I put breakpoint in my draw proc. First time it is hit, nothing shows up in Illustrator. After continue, dialog pops up and breakpoint is hit again (why?). Continue again, and back in Illustrator we can hit OK to dismiss dialog. Now breakpoint is hit a third time, after continue all is normal.
HELP please!

Moving an object using arrow keys

I think I changed the default distance to move an object using the arrow keys from 1 Point (1/72 of an inch). Can someone help me with changing it back to the default or tell me how to adjust the distance you can move an object like a text field using the arrow keys. Thank you.

It's based on your grid Interval setting on the Drawing Aids palette. For a 1 point grid you would need an Interval of 12/pc (although it says points the grid measurement is picas, 12 points to the pica).
I find 1 point too fine, I use a grid of 4/pc (3 points) and have all my object measurements base around multiples of 3.

How do I free up the Guidelines?

Hello,
I am designing a new form, and as I was fooling with the measurements for the guidelines in the Drawing Aids palette, I now cannot move any of them, whether they be vertical or horizontal. My reasoning for trying to adjust the measurement was due to the need to have the guides move a shorter distance on the ruler so I could make my design work. So I typed in measurements, and once I did, the guidelines froze up. What did I do wrong here? And how do I get this back to default? Thanks guys.

I am sorry to seem so naive to this software, I am! I had the (snap to grid) box checked. Do I get credit for answering my own question?

Adobe Certified Expert:LiveCycle ES2 Form Developer Exam

Hi All,
I would like to know whether the following certification is still available for enrollment?

Moving and resizing fields

Hello,
1. I want to make a field just a little bit smaller but when I grab the grab bars and drag to make it smaller it redcues it too much. How do I drag it very, very small amounts? I have looked for help topics on this and there is nothing. I have tried holding down ctrl, alt, and shift when I drag but nothing does it.
2. How do I get a field to just nudge a little with arrow keys?
Thank you.

I use the Layout pallet to position object quite a bit. How ever I do use the arrow keys to nudge objects around the page. You might check and make sure that Snap to grid is unchecked otherwise when you use the arrow keys to move objects they will move in the increment the grid is set to. To set the grid or define grid and ruler settings and guides go to Windows -> Drawing Aids. I think snap to grid is checked by default.

Unable to delete applet.....

Hi all,
I am unable to delete one applet which I have loaded in the card.
There are 2 applets, one is purse and other is loyalty. And am using shareable interface in which loyalty is the server and purse is the client. I can delete the purse applet but i can't delete the loyalty from the card.
Here is my code : There are in all 3 codes, one is purse, second is loyalty code and third is the shareable interface code. Can some one look at the code and tell me what's wrong in this programs.

Thanks in advance......

Thanks. I know they are not the same thing. A package cannot be deleted if it contains one or more applets.
I tried to delete by typing in the applet AID first, but it just doesn't work. And of course it doesn't work for package AID.
Both the package and applet AID are generated in JBuilder, which looks like this, package AID(6D 79 70 61 63 6B 61 67 31),
applet AID(6D 79 70 61 63 30 30 30 31),
instance AID(6D 79 70 61 63 30 30 30 31)
I've tried those three AIDs, it's not working.
Thanks.

Unable to print through Java program

Hi all,
I have downloaded a sample java code to print text. When i try to print on solaris, it displays some postscript characters like:
%! PS-Adobe-3.0%%BeginProlog/imStr 0 def /heximageSrc....
But i am able to print the same information through lp command correctly.
I am using EPSON - LP8200. As per my knowledge, this printer doesn't support postscript printing
The sample java code works perfectly on Win2k connected to the same printer.
Please help me out. I am stuckup in this problem for quite a few days
Below is the code that i am using

Did you ever find a resolution to this problem.
I am having the same exact problem?

Are there plans to update livecycle designer to conform with the CC Family of Tools?

I am relatively new to using adobe LiveCycle Designer. I have to say it's a pretty great piece of software. There are some things in it that really bother me though.
For example, you can't just drag guides from the rulers. There's no smart guides. The shortcuts that work in every other program don't work for LC.
The design is 1990 ish and a myriad of other small annoyances. I was just wondering if Adobe has plans to rework LCD to conform to the CC Family Standards.
Don't get me wrong LiveCycle is the only program in it's class and has been a tremendous help. I just feel it's not up to adobe standards.
Also, Where's the mac version? I've been having to run ES3 in VMWare due to the fact I only wanted LC Designer and not all the other phooey that comes with it.

Hi,
Designer was initially a product from a company named JetForm which was acquired by Adobe in 2002 and its interface hasn't been changed that much by Adobe.
Here some hints for you:
If you double click a ruler you'll be able to edit the Drawing Aids.
You can set snap to grid or to guideline etc.
In ES3 and newer you also can activate orientation by page center or other objects which is quite similar to the smart guides you may know from InDesign.
Draging guides from the rulers also works, but only from the upper left corner, not for every ruler separately.
From the Extras menu you also can create your own shortcuts.
There has never been a MAC version of Designer and I think there never be one.

Extra Pages

I have a form with 2 master pages. Master page 1 is a title page and Master 2 is used for the remaining 7 pages.
When I view the form in Design mode or Preview there are an extra 2 pages. Page 3 and 9 are phantom pages - there should only be 8. They are both copies of one of the master pages.
How can I get rid of them?

Typically the content on one of the pages is too big to fit on your defined master pages, hence an extra page is created for the overflow. Make sure all objects are within the content area boundries as defined by the master pages. You can turn on Window/Drawing Aids/Show Object Boundaries to get a visual as to the size of each object. If there is anything the is on the page boundry (all sides) then ensure that it is inside of the page.

XY Chart - Connecting Points

Post Author: apskhanna
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
It seems Xcelsius is unable to connect the points drawn using XY chart, unlike in Excel. This is a major limitation and I was wondering if any one knows how to acheive that directly or indirectly. I need to draw lines at an angle using a variable but am unable to because there are no drawing aids or possibilty of connecting points on the xy chart.

I currently face the same limitation and am really curious about any workarounds to display a trendline connecting the points of an XY Chart.
Thanks for any kind of help.
