Find/Change object size width

Hi guys,
So this is the problem:
I have over 900 pages long catalog and I made a little changes to a textframe options and other object styles, but bottomline is that now I have to change all the textframes width to 62 mm (its now 61 mm). I have tried the Find/Change "Object" options, but I just can't find the right way to do it. Is it even possible to do it with the Find/Change Object? I have to change over 6000 textframes manually if this dosen't work :/
Do I have to do this with Grep scripting and how is that possbile if I have to do it with it?
Thanks beforehand if you reply to this problem!

Ha!
I found the solution(ish), basically it's possible to change object dimensions with the "Find/Change Object". Thanks Bart Van de Wiele for the "Columns Fixed width" tip.
."Find Object Format" -> What kind of "Object style" you are looking for and then put "Text Frame Options" -> Width (exp. 55 mm)
"Change Object Format" -> go to "Text Frame General Options" -> "Columns: Fixed width" -> width (exp. 56 mm, I have 3 mm inset spacing left&right so 56 + 6 is 62 mm).
Change the desired textframes, BUT THEN you have this kind of problem where you can not change the textframes width sizes because they are "fixed sized".
Click one of the changed textframes and go to "Style options" where you get that "+" -sign. Click in the options "Clear overrides".
Now you have changed the all desired textframes and you can change the width too.

  • Find/Change object size

    We have a document where each page header/number needs to be changed to a different language. We can find change the text ok but when the text is changed the text box is too small. Unfortunately the headers are not on master pages and the colours vary depending on the background colour.
    How can we do a find/change for the size of the text box?
    We want a text box of size 5mm x 20mm to change to 5mm x 35mm, expanding to the right.
    As far as I can see there is no way to do this with the inbuilt find/change object. Any ideas?

    I think you're doing it a weird way, but who am I to criticise, I've done far weirder things.
    If you don't want to add this to the master page then that's fine, I think you'd be better off and it would make things easier in the long run.
    For changing the width of a frame you'd need a script to that, and I really cannot help you on that one, scripts are not my forté.

  • [CS3 JS] Find/Change Object Problem

    app.changeObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing does not seem to clear the change object preferences for me.
    app.findObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing works as expected, as do both app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing and app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing.
    Does anyone else use the new Find/Change Object?

    Hello. I'm new here but it seems to be the only place where I can post this question to.
    I'm working in a C# application that uses InDesign CS3 scripting. I'm trying to create an index automatically from a tabbed list of words in a text file.
    As C# is a strongly typed language, I have to cast all objects to the right type. I'm having problems when I try to add the page numbers to the created index entries using the following code (I've used the CreateIndexEntry.jsx scrip as a starting point).
    //Find all occurrences of the word or set of words (the topic name)
    ((InDesign.FindTextPreference) app.FindTextPreferences).FindWhat = topic.Name;
    InDesign.Objects foundTexts = doc.FindText(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
    It's supposed to be an Array of Text objects (InDesign.Text) but when I try to cast each object using this
    //Code is forced because I've tried everything here
    //Loop through each finding and add page numbers to topic
    IEnumerator textEnum = foundTexts.GetEnumerator();
    while (textEnum.MoveNext())
    object text = textEnum.Current;
    topic.PageReferences.Add((InDesign.Text)text, InDesign.idPageReferenceType.idCurrentPage, System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
    I got the following exception (translated).
    text is not an InDesign.Text object (Interfaces doesn't match)
    So the question is what object type should I use to cast each object resulting by calling the Document's FindText method.
    Every suggestion will ve very welcome.
    Thank You very much.

  • Regular selection tool cannot change object size

    I am using CS6.  When you create a simple square or any object, you will be able to use the regular selection tool to change the size by draggin on the "control point" around the object.
    However, I was able to do it before but I dun know why I can't do it suddenly.  The regular selection tool just enable me to move the image even I click on the "control point" on the object.  If I need to change the size, I need to use the resize tools which is a hassle.
    Anyone knows what happened?  Am I having some wrong setting in my AI ?

  • What changed in the Find/Change Object behavior?

    In Indesign CS4 all graphics in a document could be centered through the Find/Change feature (Object tab) by leaving the Find field blank and setting the Change field to "Fitting Reference Point: Center" (clicking the center button). This no longer works in CS5. The feedback is of x number of objects changed, but none have.
    It was handy, now it's gone.

    No objects locked.
    Actually, it seems stranger.
    (BTW- The CS4 version is running on a Power Mac G5, pre-intel, Tiger.
    The CS5 Version is on a  Power Mac G5, Intel, Snow Leopard.)
    If a single graphic is dragged or placed in the document, the Find/Change, as described, does nothing. When a second one is added, it works as expected, unless they are both jpegs or PSDs. In that case, they sometimes, disappear completly and are shown to be (in the links panel) on the pasteboard but not visible there. But, get this, add a pdf or AI file to the doc, and run it again and it works fine again. The revese order also applies. If I delete all but one graphic it stops working again.
    In all cases the fitting commands work fine.
    It seems as if there is some confusion in how the document object model is being addressed and filetype is in the mix.

  • CS6: Object Find/Change-Stroke weight?

    Hi all,
    First time using the find/change Object query in CS6.
    I'd like to search for and decrease a specific stroke weight on all frames in my document (in this case they are all graphic frames, but I'm unable to get it to work)
    I've tried searching for all frames, text frames, graphic frames, within the Document, but the query is not finding any of the bad strokes. (I watched a Lynda.com tutorial and it looked so easy, but I can't figure out why it isn't searching for them. (none of the objects are locked)
    Is there an attribute I need to uncheck in the Find Object Format Options to ensure it only searches of the stroke? Thanks for any input.
    Here's an example:

    Thank you! That worked.

  • How can I change the size of table control in table maintenance re-gen?

    Hello Experts,
    I hv created a maintenance view and after generated table maintenance view for it.
    now it adjusts the size of table control in table maintenance generation.
    I want to change the size (width) of table control and again re-generate the table maintenance.
    But when re-generation occurs, table control size is set to initial.
    why it is happening? and wt to do to solve this issue? any user exit?
    I need the changed size of table control even if its re-generated.
    Regards,
    R.Hanks

    Hello Ronny,
    Goto SM30, Enter your table name for which you have maintained your table maintainence generator .
    When the maintainence screen appears for your table name , Goto System->Status->Screen Program name.
    Copy that program name from there.
    Open that module program through SE80,this is the program name of your SM30 screen which appears when we enter our table name in SM30 transaction.
    In SE80,click the layout of the module program name you have entered there.
    Its layout will display you the table control(of SM30) present to enter your your enteries.
    In the change mode you can change its size , savee it and activate that program.
    Now goto to SM30 again and enter your table name, it will show you the changed size of the table control used to take the enteries.
    Note:This changed size is only for your table name and it will remain of its previous size for other table enteries.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks Mansi

  • Drop in layers visual quality when I change comps size -WHAT???

    Hi there! So check this out. I import a progressive frame quicktime movie into AE, drag it to the new comp button in the project window and a new comp is created matching the specs of the source material.
    But as soon as I change the size - width and height - of the comp in the composition settings window, the visual quality of the quicktime in the comp degrades dramatically. it's like someone dropped a fast blur on it with a value of around .5 or 1. Any ideas on what the heck is happening?
    working on a 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Mac running 10.4.11
    9 GB 667 MHz DDR2 ram
    Radeon X1900 w/512 MB video ram
    1 TB raid
    After Effects CS3 Professional vs 8.0.2.27
    Quicktime 7.4.5

    David & Mylenium,
    I should have been more specific. Sorry. This is what's happening. The source is a 1920 x 1080 sq. pixel Apple ProRes 422 quicktime. I bring the footage into AE, key it and then prerender it.
    Then I create a new comp (by dragging the footage to the new comp button) based on this prerendered footage. I do any compositing/etc i need to and then I take this final comp and render a master quicktime. Finally, I wait for my designers to tell me what size dimensionally they want the video to be ( it goes to FLV).
    Once I get this info, I create a new comp one of 2 ways....
    1. I drag the master quicktime to the new comp button, it makes a new comp (everything still looking fine) and then I change the dimensions of the comp to fit the designers request. As soon as I change the dimensions of the comp - the video looks like garbage. it looks like it's been slightly blurred - before and after I've scaled it down to fit the new size of the comp.
    2. Sometimes I create a new comp with the dimensions the designers requested and then drag the master quicktime into it. Same thing. Blurred/bad footage before and after scaling to fit.
    What in the heck is going on? Is there some strange ratio between height and width AE has to have? My footage is SQ PIX so... what the heck?
    So David, when you ask if my footage is scaling to match the new comp size, the answer is no. If my footage is 1920x1080 and the final comp size is 400x340, I scale the video down so that all the action/movement of the actors fits into this size.
    Mylenium, my footage and comps are SQ PIX and its the same with both OpenGL on and off. As far as for the codec, I see this with my original codecs - both DVCPro-HD and Apple Prores 1920x1080. I also see it happen with the prerendered qt's that have animations codecs.
    I'm sorry for the long post guys. It's just been thoroughly frustrating. This footage should stay sharp. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. It's very strange. I've trashed prefs, reinstalled, retraced my steps and found nothing.
    Time to pull my hair out. But thanks for your responses though!!

  • How to change font size in Finder system wide?

    Hi all, I'm wanting to increase the size of the font in 'Finder' in my folders. I've increased the size of fonts in Firefox and it looks much better. I went into 'Finder', 'Show View Options' and I can change the size of fonts, but it's for every individual folder not for all the folders on the system...
    I'm running Mavericks.
    Thanks!

    You can set the font size for the Finder, when you open the folders iin icon view, then the button "Use as default" will be available.

  • Urgent: How to find out the size in bytes of java object

    Hi Experts,
    We've a requirement that we need to find out the size of a java object at run time, is there a direct java API to get the size of a composite object in memory?
    Here is my requirement: We are adding string objects (which is an xml string of considerable size) into a List. After reaching certain size limit (lets say 5MB) of the list i need to put this data into DB as a CLOB. So every time I add a string object to the list, I need to see if the total size of the list exceeds the limit and if yes, flush the results into DB.
    I am not sure if java has a direct API for this, if not what is the beast way to do it, it s critical requirement for us.
    It would be really great if someone could help us out.
    Thank you,
    -Shibu.

    Could you explain your actual requirement a little more fully.
    1. Is each individual string a separate XML string? Or is it just a fragment? Why would you just concatenate them together into a CLOB? That won't produce valid XML and it won't let you easily separate the pieces again later. So provide a simple example showing some strings and how you need to manipulate them.
    2. Are you using these xml strings in Java at all? Or are you just loading them into the database?
    For example if you are just loading them into the database you don't need to create a list. Just create a CLOB in Java and append each string to the CLOB. Before you append each one you can check to see if the new string will put you over your length limit. If it will then you write the CLOB to the database, empty the CLOB and start appending again to the new clob instance.
    If you explain what you are really trying to do we might be able to suggest some better ways to do it.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.
