For Guides & Grid: Make rectangular (4:3, 16:9, etc.) units possible

Problem
Right now it is difficult to align 4:3 and 16:9 artboards to the grid since today, only square grid units are possible.  This is annoying because when the grid and artboard don't align, laying things out by the grid becomes pretty useless.  Snapping to grid and moving objects with the arrow keys is annoying too because the object will always move a couple times per unit (once when one side is aligned, and again when the other side is aligned).  Yeah, you could do math and figure out how to divide up 1280 x 720 squarely, but that's hard. 
Solutions
One solution is to give us the ability to specify different vertical and horizontal subdivision numbers.
The other is to give us some presets so that the grid units are square, but you did the math for us.

Found something on this! The rectangular grid with different vertical and horizontal subdivision values can be set!!! We can even set different colors for the main and subdivision lines. I've tested this under Mac (CS6 and CC) and Windows x86 and x64 (CS6, CC). I've posted a short articale on this:
Setting Up Rectangular and Colored Grid in Adobe Illustrator
I hope somene will find it useful

  • I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer

    I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer.  Any ideas?

    Hi Cynthia,
    Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
    For your seven column table:
    Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
    Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
    The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
    To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
    To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
    Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
    Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
    With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
    With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
    With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.

  • How to  Use page parameter for 2 grids

    Hi All,
    I have 2 grids for 2 different DB's in a report.In this page view have business dim, user able to choose the
    business.So i'm using 2 prompts for 2 grids in business dim at page view.but user wants only once he gave the
    input.How to pass one grid page parameters to another grid?
    Plzzzz give any suggestions on this................
    Thanks

    Instead of using prompts and the page, you can put the selectable dimension onto the POV of both grids and set it to current user pov on both grids.
    This way it will work, but the drawback is that you cannot make user select multiple members for that dimension, which is possible with prompts.
    hope this helps

  • Using same POV for different grids

    Hi,
    I have a report with 4 grids using 3 different cubes in total.
    The different grids are attached to one cube only.
    In the main grid i have defined the POV of the entity.
    I want the other grids to use this same POV.
    In these other 3 grid I have placed the entity in the pages using "Current Point of View for Entity".
    I have deselected the grid POV for these grids.
    However when I run the report I still get differnet entity values in the grids.
    Thanks.

    In the Workspace preferences, there is an option for Merge Equivalent Prompts (under File/Preferences).
    You need to set the dimensions to "Current User Point of View" then make sure the Grid Point of View check box is not ticked, in the Grid Properties panel (You will need to select the grid for this to show).
    I can't remember if you also need to log out of workspace, once you have changed the user preferences.
    Cheers

  • Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Yes you can do this - either the way you're already doing it by editing the published content or by changing the source code in the template itself.
    I won't get into the details here cuz I have all this documented here:
    http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/
    See the iWeb Templates page. In short, what you have to do is show package contents for the iWeb app, open the Resources folder, open the .lproj folder for YOUR language, likely english, open the Templates folder and then one by one, for each page-type folder you find in there, you have to show package contents for your chosen template, unzip the index.xml.gz files, find the hyperlink settings in the XML, turn off the underline setting, save the file again and rezip it. Then any NEW pages you build will not contain underlined links. It sounds worse than it is.
    If you tell me which template you're using, I'll go look in the file and tell you how to turn the underline code OFF. But you should read my instructions at my site before you even try to do this - I outline some things you should know before even opening up those XML files.

  • How to set variant for ALV grid from ABAP

    Hello,
    I have a program which displays some data with ALV grid. Then after some operation I would like to set different layout for the grid, but not by choosing it manually but by the program. I thought that it would be enough to use the method SET_VARIANT, so I'm setting DISVARIANT structure properly, using SET_VARIANT method and after that I'm calling REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY but layout is not changed. What else should I do? Is that possible?

  • F.01 Summary Report for ALV grid

    Hi all,
    We have defined our financial statement version (FSV). We have been running tests in transaction F.01, when we choose ALV Tree output the transaction works perfectly.
    However, if we choose ALV grid output and then choose "1" in the Summary Report field (highest summary level, only main points of Balance sheet P&L statement should be displayed) the output is not summarized at all.
    In short, no matter what number we put in the Summary Report field we always get the same output.
    What needs to be done in order to be able to use this summarization control?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Juan

    Renata,
    Thanks for your help. I am going to need a bit of help to develop the solutions described in the notes you pointed out.
    Have you successfully created a summarization for ALV grid output?
    I just want to know if it is worthy to devote time to it or just use classic list or ALV tree when appropiate.

  • Custom Google Map Widget Control for Guide Builder

    Hi,
    I would like to build a custom control for Guide Builder.  This custom control will basically wraps around the Google Map control (provided by Google api for Flex/as3).  This custom map control can then be used as part of Guide Builder when building the guides.
    I am not sure how to go about doing this, or if this is at all possible.  I just want to get an idea before I attempt to do this.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm still looking for help on this one, anybody?   Thanks.

  • I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible?  I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image.  For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible.  Currently I choose a size of 300

    I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible?  I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image.  For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible.  Currently I choose a size of 300 pixels on the shortest side but sometimes this gives me an image of slightly greater than 70kb and sometimes the image is just 30-40kb.  Is there a way to be more precise in reaching but not exceeding 70 kb?

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    You can opnly resize using the available options and file size is not one of them

  • Can i get an adapter for macbook to make hdmi port?

    can i get an adapter for macbook to make hdmi port?

    Yes, but the one you need depends on the specific MacBook you have.
    Earlier MacBooks use a Mini-DVI and later ones use a Mini DisplayPort for their video output. To find out which MacBook you have, go to the  (Apple menu) and choose About This Mac. Click More Info... and in the System Profiler window that opens, choose Hardware. Your Model Identifier will be shown.
    For MacBook1,1 though MacBook4,1 choose a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter
    For MacBook5,1 and later choose a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter
    Either one is commonly available for less than $10.

    Now..

    {code}
    If you can see are different issue.
    If you are using DSN to resolve hostname "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" check with "nslookup" if the name is resolved correctly.
    If you are using Hosts File to resolve hostname "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" you must configure only one ip (152.144.199.201) to resolve "vmorarac-scan.pbi.global.pvt" this entrie must be on host file of all nodes of cluster.
