Displaying lines or inserting narrow images as lines

Hi
I want to insert lines into my Captivate animations, to
divide up slides into differnet sections. I've actually got to
questions around this:
1. Is it possible to draw lines directly on a Captivate
slide?
2. I couldn't find a way to do draw lines, so I created very
long, narrow (1 pixel wide) image files and inserted them into my
project. However, when I do this, Captivate resizes them - I can
not get them to display at 1 pixel wide, even if I change the size
properties of them after inserting them. This isn't after
publishing the project, this is when I'm still editing it.
Does Captivate have a minimum size (in pixels) for image
files? Can anyone think of a way to display straight, narrow lines
of varying lengths on a Captivate slide?
Hope this makes sense, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi BovisLL and welcome to our community
Hmmm, are you using Captivate 1? I thought Captivate 2
allowed sizing smaller than 10 pixels. At any rate, I'd create the
line on perhaps something 20 pixels wide. Place the one pixel line
in the middle and leave the background a solid color. If you do
this, it should make the line easier to grab onto and move and
resize as needed. The background color should be rendered
transparent.
Cheers... Rick

Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph

NOTE: This IS a duplicate post from the Breakpoint. Text slightly changed. The post in Breakpoint can be deleted. All comments should be placed in this thread.
I resolved the "Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph", but would like to share to find out if others have seen this and to determine whether this is a bug, or if it's time to redo my PC, or buy a new one..
I have an existing graphs (qt 6) which originally had 2 cursors. This occurred while trying to add the third cursor.
Up until attempting to add the last cursor, the program worked great, and I had been running tests for a while. However, I do recall seeing this problem when creating the original cursors, but not to this extent. Plus I don't remember the original error message from that time.
I needed to add one more cursor to the existing graphs. As soon as I add a new cursor and set it's properties, I get a nasty error message and without warning LV8.2 simply closes itself (well, the only warning was the error message. Tried it 3 times, same result.
Here are the steps:
Shut down the PC, went for a coffee, rebooted the PC. Opened the LV project, opened the VI. Immediately went to the graph properties to add the new cursor by doing the following steps:
Right click graph indicator icon on block diagram.
Select Properties.
Click on cursor tab.
Click on Add
Select Cursor 2 (3rd one, newly created)
Change color
Select cursor as a line
Remove checkmark for "show cursor"
Click OK
I need to do this to 3 other graphs, same steps. And as soon as I get to the step before clicking OK, I get the error message.
I managed to get an additional one done, by immediately saving after each step (yep going in & out of the properties). But I've had this problem before when creating the first two cursors.
Is it a bug? Anyone else seen this? Using LV8.2. And the message is right about LOOSING ALL unsaved work!!!!
Here are more observations:
Tried creating a new one on the second graph. As soon as I clicked on the color, it crashed!
See the error explanation below. It is really clear, now anyone can solve it    LOL!!... According to the error log, there's a bad image out there

I observed the title bar after making changes to the properties. I noticed that 3 out of 4 times, while changing the properties of the graphs to include the cursor, and saving after each & every step, that there were no stars appearing on the title bar to indicate "unsaved changes". Saving was also much slower than usual. I suspect, the program never got to placing the star before saving occurred. However, I am noting everything.
After creating the cursors, saving was and is normal, and the program runs well..   I have run tests without problems.
Does anyone have a clue at what causes this? Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
RayR

Hi Donovan,
I can't remember seeing this elsewhere. When I get a chance, I'll create a new (blank) vi with new graphs and will repeat the steps.
I will let you know if I see this in the new vi.
Thanks!

How can i copy line with text and image to ms word

When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
How can i copy the image to MS Word?

If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
    import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
    import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
    // Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
    // and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
    public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
        public function CustomClipboardFormat()
            var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
            TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);
        private const markup:String = '<TextFlow whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p><span color=\"0x00ff00\">Anything you paste will have all consonants removed.</span></p></TextFlow>';
        private function setup():TextFlow
            var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);

Cisco 7970 Phone Background Image has lines through it

Hi everyone, I have an issue where the configured programmable buttons have a line going through the image and gray over the color as well. If I unconfigure the buttons the image is normal. Any suggestions on where to change this so my line buttons don't cover the image?
thank you,
Steve

Actually it is anywhere there is text configured on the screen. The company name configured on the bottom of the display causes a gray line across the screen as well.

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
Regards
Dhwani

How can I get two hand drawn images to line up?

How can I get these two images to line up? I am stumped.....I have used auto-align, scale, etc.....but I get one side right then other side not aligned.

You are dealing here with a difference in image size between the top and bottom sections and perhaps a difference in verticality.
Consider the bottom units. The left side should shift right and the right side should shift left in order to align.
Your next move would be the adjust the size of one of the layers by using Edit > Transform > Scale. Hold down the Option key to maintain proportion.

New line item insertion in delivery via EDI - PI

hi,
the requirement is to insert a new line item in the delivery.
This new line item inserted should be done via an IDOC, which while entering the SAP will insert a new line item in the delivery.
The question if this line item insertion should be done through the inbound FM in SAP or via XI/PI.
How will this be done in PI??
Thanks a lot

Hai,
How you delivery creating or updation working in ECC??
like if you are using PI interface create/update delivery in ECC ,then you cae use PI only to insert new line item for material id.
else if you want do manually you can create in VA02/VA42 TRASACTIONs or using function module also we can do that.
option is yours.
if you dont have much idea then better to talk with ABAP/Functional guys they will easily do this without PI.

HP7680 inkjet printer prints narrow blank (white) lines in multiple specific parts of page

My HP7680 inkjet printer prints narrow blank (white) lines in multiple specific parts of each printed page. It appears to happen in the same parts of each page printed.
- I installed new ink cartridges
- I verified that the paper I’m using is the standard inkjet paper that I always use
- In the tools section of the printer setup menu, I ran the “Clean Printhead”, “Align Printer”, and “Calibrate Linefeed” options
- In reading the printer’s manual, it seems to imply that the printheads could be the problem.
- So, I manually cleaned the printhead contacts
- When I print the self-test diagnostics page, it shows printhead health to be “Good” for both. One of them was installed in January of 2009, and the other was installed March of 2008.
- With a Q-tip, I even cleaned the clear plastic band that runs parallel to the carriage rod. (It was pretty dirty.)
Here's a scan of the printed output.
Thanks for your help!

After a 2hr phone call with tech support, here is the solution; the L7600 Series printer have a firmware update (file name: OfficejetProK7600_R2011PxN.exe) my printer was bought in 2008 thus my print head is a 2008 model, and new print heads are a 2011 modem, they don’t work right in a 2008 model this is PER the tech rep and his name was John unless you upgrade the firmware.
So I upgraded the firmware from a 2004NxN to the 2011PxN and now my printer says damaged or missing print head, I place the original print head from 2008 back in the machine and it’s fine, so I bought a 3rd print head for 2011 and it says the print head is damaged.
After another 30min or so I was told I have a bad printer and sorry the warranty is out, but the old print head works but any new print heads do not, this sounds like a HP Error firmware / hardware compatibility issue, not my issue, but HP will not repair.
HP has no fix nor will they repair the printer.

MS Publisher 2013 - Guide lines on top of images

I am trying to edit a brochure that has a background image and several text and images objects on top. I am unable to see the guild lines once the background image is added.
This problem has been around since Publisher 2007 (maybe has always been this way), however, most other design software will allow you to see the guide lines as you work.
Are there any plans to add this feature to publisher?
I found a few articles on the subject and the designers are not happy and switching to other software. So it may not be a bad idea to add what appears to be a simple improvement to retain and attract users.
Thanks

White lines appear around placed images in printing.

A native Illustrator document with placed Photoshop (both CS6) images produces whites lines around the placed images when printed. The Illustrator document does not show white lines on screen. Nor does the PDF (Acrobat X Pro) generated from the IA doc show white lines when viewed on screen. When the document goes to press, the printed product show the white lines:
See upper left image and lower right image-note: other images are not affected. Both both are native Photoshop images, placed on a gradient in IA. Perhaps the PDF settings: "Adobe PDF Preset" or "Standard" are not chosen correctly? Why the white lines?

You screenshot shows a modified Illustrator Default preset with Compatability to Acrobat 4. That setting always flattens transparency which is what I would suggest avoiding first.
Note the Warnings summary alerts that transparency will be flattened.

Could this be a warning that produces the stitch lines in the actual printing?
Yes

Transparency is part of some design and all Effects. Note that you can change a color by using a tint or by setting it's transparency. Many times a tint will suffice. It looks the same and has the same values.
Your original screenshot apears to use images with clipping paths. (Full disclosure - I should know this, but don't...I expect) clipping paths require/invoke the transparent background to place the images within the colored area.
You cannot get around transparency but flattening converts vector objects to raster objects (when transparency touches/abuts/interacts with raster images).
You should be able to use the Illustrator Default, High Quality Print or PDFX-4 to maintain live transparency
2 very old (2004) Adobe white papers, not too legnthy which I can shed some light. Note - PDFX-4 superceeds all of these.

Insert and retrieve new line character in DB2

Hi,
I have a requirement in my project where I need to generate flat files to be sent to the bank for validation and for each record type in the flat file, I want to have a line separator inserted in the file. Now, the line seperator is configurable as a system option as per customers needs which is stored in the database (we are using DB2). Even though, I inserted '\n' (New line character) in the system option as a line separator, while retrieving from database through JDBC and appending to the flat file, it is not recognizing it as a new line character and simply appends '\n\ in the flat file.
Please suggest any solution for this.

No solution is a better answer.
