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.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response.
So I can stop to search.

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?

Multiple xpjs drawing from same set of folders?

Is it possible to use a set of common folders in multiple
help projects? That is, have html files stored in one set of
folders (that are already configured to support a complex TOC
structure) and have several xpjs access them? No individual html
file would be used by more than one xpj.

How many sedatives can you afford?
Not sure why you would want to do this. The obvious thought
was common topics but you have ruled that out.
If you want different outputs, why not use conditional build
tags?

FP9 vs. FP10 Drawing API

Hey all,
I created a program that uses the drawing API to draw a
graph of some river level data downloaded from the web. Basically,
it will download a TAB delimited file, parse it, and draw a graph
of the past 7 days using solid rectangles. The graph draws on by
setting some timeouts and tweening the rectangles on so they slide
up from the bottom. When it runs well, it appears as if the graph
is flowing on from left to right. There are a few different graphs
that the user can choose from, and each time, the program reaches
out to the web so it can grab the most recent river level data.
When I first programmed it, I was using Flash Player 9 and it was
working well. Now that I am publishing with Flash Player 10, after
a few graphs are drawn, the drawing starts to slow down so that the
flowing on is very rough, and after they have looked at maybe 7
graphs, it almost comes to a stop. The graph still appears, but it
seems to hang as it starts to draw, and then appears all of a
sudden. So, the program is not updating as the graph draws on, but
it happens in the correct amount of time. There are a few different
methods being used here, with the timeouts and tweens, but since it
seems to degrade over time, I feel like it must be something with
the drawing API. I am removing the old graphs completely, as far as
I know, and only one is drawing at a time. The thing that is
puzzling is that it works very well with FP9, but not with FP10. I
was hoping someone had some thoughts as to differences between the
two that would manifest themselves in a way I am describing. Of
course I realize that I could just publish with FP9, but there are
a few reasons I want 10 to be used that 9 will not help with.
Thanks...

thanx,
that was useful, your solution worked fine...
I still have a little problem:
I tried different actions to be performed as the tween ends:
1. remove the object (parent.removeChild)
2. set it as invisible and put it on an array for later async remove
4. add it as a child of another sprite
I then put on the stage 10 instances of M1 and let them all tween,
everytime one of those instance ends its tween (and performs one of the final action
described above) there's a little delay that freezes for a little time all the other tweening instances....
I thought that the removeChild was the delaying part but I saw that also setting visible=false
brings the same delay...
I was then wondering if there's a smart way to handle this and let everything run smooth...
thanks

Draw document saved as PDF and emailed is faulty when printed

Each month I create 12 parish-magazine pages of advertisements in Draw, save the set as a PDF document and email it for printing. Consistently, when printed some pages are reproduced smaller than the rest.
Can someone tell me why, please?

First-base solution: the pages in question run into the printer's margins and the driver is set to shrink the pages rather than crop them. Check what the printer's margins are and ensure that the document's margins are the same or larger. This sort of problem can arise when you are printing on a printer not connected to the Mac where the document is created (so you don't get a warning).

Make Draw Procedure and Sampling Procedure Quantities Match?

I need to set up an inspection plan where one item is taken from each container and combined into 1 pooled sample. The items in the containers are in eaches and the number may vary from container to container. Think 5 buckets filled with pebbles. I want to end up with a pooled sample that is a total quantity of 5, total containers to sample is 5 and sample size per container is 1.
On my inspection plan, my Sampling Procedure is set for a fixed sample size of 1.
The number of buckets may vary from shipment to shipment, so my Draw Procedure is set to have the number of primary samples be P2. However, when I set the number of pooled samples to 1, I end up with sampling instructions that say to take 0.2 pebbles from each of 5 buckets.
I can set up the Draw Procedure to only have Primary Samples and my sampling instructions will show 5 primary samples but it will not indicate that they should be taken 1 per container.
Setting my fixed sample size to 5 solves this particular problem but as my material may arrive in 6 containers next time, it is not a long term solution.
It seems to me that I need to be able to set my sample size to also vary based on the number of containers. I can't do that using a pebble to bucket conversion, as this is not a constant number. Ideally I would like a Sampling Procedure with a sample size of P2.
Is there a way to create a Sampling Procedure that varies based on the number of containers received? Or is there another option?
Thanks,
Deb

You can achieve this by using Sampling Determination "300-Sample schema" If require modify Function Module "QDRS_SAMPLING_PLAN_SAMPLE"
Thanx!!

Re-drawing JPanel in a JDialog

I have a JDialog which is supposed to display a set of data to the user. The data displayed is meant to change according to the a user choice. This choice is made via a JComboBox.
I have added an action listener to the cmbo box so that whenever the user changes their decision the JPanel below the combo box should re-draw a new set of data. For some reason the change of data never occurs. Only the inital data set is ever shown.
More strangely, when I decided to try and force the JPanel to re-draw its data (rather than rely on the 'repaint()' method), on calling the method 'getGraphics()' on this JPanel it returned a 'null' value rather than a Graphics object????
Any help much appreciated.

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.

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.

Changing view angle of 3D grid with existing objects

Hello,
I am new to the perspective grid and would really appreciate some help. I have created a simple room interior with a 2 point perspective and a view angle of 45 degree. I would now like to display the same room with a view angle of 60 degree. Is it possible to change the view angle of the 3D with existing objects in it or do I have to re-create the room with a different view angle each time? I can change the numbers in the define perspective setting and the grid changes but the room doesn't seem to change with it.
Thanks, Conny

NO. You fundamentally misunderstand. It's a drawing aid like any other guide, not a real 3D space. You need to draw from scratch.

Cannot View Guidelines

So I have "Show Guidelines" selected in the "Drawing Aids" pallette. And while I can set guidelines and can see their triangles on the rulers, the lines do not extend onto the page. I also haven't seen anyone else experiencing this problem. Any advice?
Thanks!

Which version of VS are you using and which operating system are you on? This information would be helpful in uncovering what might be the problem. Thanks!

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.
