Frame 12 graphics: holding down Shift used to keep the line straight, now what?

It used to be when drawing a line in Framemaker that holding down the Shift key while dragging the line would keep the line straight. This no longer works in Frame 12. What is the correct way to get a straight line?
Thanks in advance.

How are you selecting the line? ctrl+click?
Do you see the handles when the line is selected?
Note: when drawing a new line, the shift modifier makes a line either vertical, horizontal or a 45 degree diagonal depending upon how you move the cursor. When editing an existing line, the shift modifier will constrain the line to either expand or shrink along the vector direction or expand or shrink along either the vertical or horizontal axis of the end-point being modified.

  • I cannot get adobe to install. It use to until the latest update. now what?

    I was prompted to install the latest version of Adobe Reader. I did. Now I get a dark screen. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Still not working. HELP!!!
    I can't view PDF files.

    Apple products are pretty masterful at viewing PDF files without any Adobe software.  Preview does a pretty good job.
    If you un-install Adobe Reader, can you not see the PDF file?

  • Vector images not sizing proportionally even holding while holding down shift.

    I use a Mac version 10.6.8 and Photoshop CS6.
    When I copy and paste a vector image from Illustrator, the vector image is not be sized at 100%x 100%. It comes in at weird sizes like 100% x 98.33% (this is not consistent, it changes numbers). I have to go into the top to manually change it to 100%x100% while in Transform mode.
    Also, after I change it to 100%x100% and try to scale by holding shift down, it will change again.
    I'm not sure what's happening. I've been using Photoshop for quite a few years so it's not a beginner problem.
    Does anyone know if there's an update to fix this problem or am I missing some setting somewhere?
    Thank you.

    Dr.
    Simple to see if using default settings (ie Snap vector Tools is checked)
    • create new file 400 x 400 px
    • draw out rectangle shape, about 150 x 75 px
    • go Edit>Transform Path>Scale
    • now hold down Shift key as you scale shape. Look at the Width and Height percentages in the option bar as you scale. You'll notice they vary from each other. Slightly. This is different behavior in CS6 than previous versions.
    It is more noticeable in a low res file. High res files will show less variation.

  • Holding down "shift" during startup causes an "address error" with a prompt

    holding down "shift" during startup causes an "address error" with a prompt to restart holding the shift button,...
    an ideas,....?
    it otherwise starts up fine normally,....
    with spacebar depressed everything good too,.... into extensions manager...
    but booting with extensions off causes that address error crash just before desktop is to appear,...
    hmmm,.... ideas,....?
    thanx

    Well, address error means it's getting an odd addy somehow, and if it's with Extensions off, then maybe a PRAM or NVRAM reset would cure it...
    Have you done a PRAM reset...

  • My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

    My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled NO
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer.

    When i hold down command and r at the same time after restarting it comes up with a black screen and a lock symbol and a field bellow where you would input a password, i have tried ALL of my possible passwords including my password i use for the mac and it stil will not work! all that happens is the text i put in bellow erases itself after hiting enter or clicking the arrow.

    I've tried my apple ID password and that doesn't work either . I don't recall seting a password for an encrypted disk either :/ if it was for an encrypted disk, would it be in keychain anywhere? if so how can i find it?
    Thanks!

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

    Hi artdiva28
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First go to *System Preferences > Startup Disk* > select the *Mac OS X 10.5. on Macintosh HD* > click the Lock > hit the Restart button.
    Then if the iMac is still having trouble starting up, insert your Install Disk and restart holding the Option key. In Startup Manager select the Install Disk and boot into it, choose your language, skip the Installer and go up on the menu bar to Utilities and open Disk Utility. In Disk Utility select your Macintosh HD and hit the Repair button. Once finished note any errors and what was repaired for future reference. Quit Disk Utility and restart once again holding the Option key boot back into the Macintosh HD and eject the Install Disk.

  • Battery running down fast using Yosemite, running the latest update 10.10.2. I think there is bug in this update. Please help me out or is there a way can i switch back to mavericks and how

    Battery running down fast using Yosemite, running the latest update 10.10.2. I think there is bug in this update. Please help me out or is there a way can i switch back to mavericks and how

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
    3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
              Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    if it's shown (it may not be.)
    4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    It is true that the only way to sync your Mac with iCloud is to upgrad.  You need to be running OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher in order to sync your Mac with iCloud.  At this point, you can upgrade directly to OS X Mountain Lion from the version of OS X you are now running (10.6.8).   You can purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store for $19.99.  After upgrading you will see iCloud in System Preferences.  This guide explains how to sync your Mac with iCloud after upgrading: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Once all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account and you have turned on your iCloud data syncing, you will be able to keep them all in sync using iCloud.  You will still have to sync with iTunes to manage your iTunes media such as music, movies, podcasts, etc.  You will have the option to either continue backing up automatically with your computer when you sync with iTunes, or to back up your iOS devices automatically to iCloud every 24 hours (as long as they are connected to wifi and your chargers).

  • I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    What Happened?
    No way for us to know.  But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem.  The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted.  This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
    First, make sure your system is running correctly.  Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file.  Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it).  Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE.  It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions).  You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

    We can't know. You are not offering any system info or details on what product/ suite you are actualyl referring to by "CS6" nor do we know what update or install procedures on your system you may have done recently. There was an Acro update last week, perhaps it bombed and destroyed your Acro install...
