Getting rid of compound path "cut marks" in Illustrator

Hi,
I have created some icons in Illustrator using compound paths. I ended up having these faint, dark "cut out" lines (please see example). What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get rid of this?
Thanks!
Kathy

No, but this one is having the same issue.

How can I get rid of the path in Type on a Path?

Greetings
Now I really feel stupid. First I couldn't find the magin tabs, now I can't get rid of the path. I have a feeling I might need to start over, but is there a way to lose the path and still have the text?

You should highlight the text that is on the path, copy it using Ctrl+C / Command+C and then
place a new text tool cursor elsewhere on the page and paste the text into that cursor. Then delete
the old occurrence of the text on path.

How to get rid of compound information from nodes

Hi expert,
       I have a hierarchy used for cost center in the report, when displaying cost center, its compound 'controlling area' is also displaying. such as for a node, its key value is 'CM01FIAC_FR_EA', in wich 'CM01' is for controlling area. I am trying to remove controlling area from display of cost center.
       for cost center, I have removed its compound from displaying by adding controlling area into row and setting it as 'no display', but for nodes of cost center hierarchy, compounds are still ther. please tell me how to get rid of compound information from nodes?
Many Thanks,

Hi Phani,
      cost center is displayed in hierarchy, I have remove compound from leaf of hierarchy, but compound is still there in nodes. also eventhough I set suppress result for controlling area, its result is still in the report. so you reference does not resolve my problem.
Many Thanks,

How can I get rid of directory path in front of my folder names in Folder listing in Library mode???

Im using the most recent version of Lightroom 5.3 (updated through CC - even though this has shown up on previous version) on Windows 7 and all the folders in my library are showing up with the directory path in front of my folder names. How can I get rid of this? I do not see any options in preferences to turn this off. I have also turned off preferences in Windows > Folder Options Control Panel "Display full Path in Title bar" option.
I have Lightroom on several computers and have set up preferences the same on each workstation, and this only shows up on one workstation.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can see from the image below how this is showing up.
Thanks
Thanks!

How to get rid of compounded keys on WebI report

Hello,
I am (very) new to Business Objects and Web Intelligence, and have created a Universe on a BW multicube. 
When I setup the WebI report doc, the Fiscal year (and Fiscal Period/year) are showing with the Fiscal Variant as a prefix (e.g. Z3/2009). 
Using a formula to 'strip' the characteristic to 2009 confuses the data (as there is no 'key' of 2009, only Z3/2009).
Filtering by Fiscal Variant (the Z3 part) doesn't seem to change things, or even putting the fiscal variant in as a column (these techniques used to work quite nicely in Bex and Web Bex). 
Is there some magic I have missed in the Universe building process (which I have purposefully kept very simple, as there are plenty of these to build!!). 
I am sure folks have seen (and sovled) this before, as Fiscal Year (and Fiscal Period/year) must be used often, and these are standard SAP time fields. 
However, i can find nothing in help or even forums (perhaps I am not searching for correct key words). 
I haven't tried building the universe off a Bex Query, and am kind of reluctant to do this, as it builds in another layer to maintain. 
Anyone know how to get rid of the compounded part of the (fiscal year) objects? 
Your help and comments are much appreciated. 
Regards, 
Martin.

Hi Ingo,
I am also facing the same problem.
I have an object Showing (TR/1223xxxx). I was able to remove "TR/" in bex by dragging the compunded object in Rows section and supressing it to "No Display" but in Webi I am still getting (TR/1223xxxx).
In Webi if I create a formula and trim the above value, i am getting "#UNAVAILABLE" in Key Figures, i.e. measures (smar Measures)
Is there a way to get rid of this compunded value.
One more requirement, in Bex Query, I am giving dislay as "Key and Text" but in Webi, i get only "Text" for that object. I have to explicitply drag and use the Object - key (detail object of that particular dimension). Is there a way to get both Key and Text in Webi using a single object.
Kindly help. Thank You!

How to get rid of "Double Paths" (ex-Strokes)?

Hello everyone,
as promised, I am back with a new question !
So, I feel that I have made quite some progress on Illustrator, but this one drives me mad!
I have created this beautiful artwork using the pen tool, expanding it, making live-paint groups and various other stuff (I don't know in which particular order) and, visually, am quite happy with the outcome. BUT, in the process, my strokes at some point, got turned into filled paths - which I don't particularly like, since I wanted to play around with the outlines a bit, to create different looks and feels.
In short: I want it to be like this, with single strokes
BUT it looks like this:
How do I get rid of that? Is it actually possible?
I have searched the Internet for quite some time - one option suggests to "unite" paths with the pathfinder, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
After some more back-and-forth expanding (I am really lacking process routine in this programme ) it DOES work, but blacks either my complete- or partial artwork. Any tips?
Thank you in advance, and kind regards
M

Max,
expanding it,
I am afraid that has outlined your strokes (and added many Anchor Points).
Sometimes outlining should be called ouchlining.
Sometimes the way back from something quick and easy is long and hard or (more or less) impossible.
Live Paint may also cause some distress, such as new paths you may be unaware that you have.
Do you still have the original unexpanded and unlivepainted artwork?
It is recommendable to make a backup of any artwork you have created before you destroy it (make irreversible changes), at least until your are certain (that you will remain certain).

How to get rid of compound value in hierarchy

Hello,
I want to use hierarchy of cost centers in bex report.
I don't want to see the compound value 1000 (controlling area) as part of the keys.
For example, instead of -
1000IS3
     1300
     1400
I want to see -
IS3
     1300
     1400
1300 and 1400 are the cost centers and IS3 in a higher level.
Is it possible?
Thank you,
Hadar

Hadar,
Add a drilldown by Controlling Area to your report, then set it's properties to 'No Display'. That should give you the desired results.
Hope this helps...
Bob

How to cut a hole that is part of a compound path

I have spent many hours using all the tools available in Illustrator CS4 to reshape the hole that is part of a compound path with no success.
The compound path consists of a square with a round hole, I want to for example, cut the round hole in half. Erase, Knife, Pathfinder do not work. I can do it if first release the compound path, cut the round hole, then make compound path again. While this method is easy for this example but not good for very complex drawing, because it would be too time consuming to convert back and forth the compound paths and remembering which holes belong to which compound path. Please help. I am to the point where I am willing to spend money to get a good cutting tool plugin, any reccomendation?

Sure....
Place or Open raster image.
Live trace (whatever settings you like) I'm assuming it's a 1 color trace (line art) and not a photo or color image
Click the "Expand" button in the Control bar
Everything should be selected/highlighted
Click the Merge button on the Pathfinder Panel (3rd from left, bottom row)
*optional -- Choose Object > Ungroup from the menu (Using Pathfinder command creates Groups for some reason. These groups aren't always needed.)
Deselect all (Command-Shift-A or Ctrl-Shift-A or just click somewhere empty to deselect the artwork)
Select the Direct Selection Tool (the white arrow)
Click the center of a "hole" or counter. This will select one of the superfluous white shapes.
Choose Select > Same > Fill & Stroke from the menu. All the extra shapes should highlight.
Hit delete.
You should be left with just black compound paths with no superfluous shapes anywhere. In fact, after this if you Select All, the color panel shoudl show a simple black fill and no stroke. Of course, this somewhat depends upon your Live trace settings.
What this does is merge all black and white shapes into the simplest form and at the same time it cuts through bottom objects with top objects. So if you have a white shape sitting on top of a black shape, it cuts that white shape out of the black. This ensures all the black has the correct compound shape assignments. Sometimes with Live Trace you can get white fill areas and not get the corresponding compound hole below it. Or the compound hole will not be exactly the same shape as the white object sitting on top of it. Using Merge corrects that. Then deleting the white shapes just removes all the unnecessary objects. If you want a color for the compound holes, just draw a rectangle or shape below the black and fill it with any color. All you need to is alter the counters or compound holes now to correct anything. No more double paths.
All these steps are not always necessary. But it's sometimes good practice depending upon what you are tracing. Once you do it once or twice you'll see it's only about a 1-2 minute processes and most of that will be waiting for the Merge command to complete.

Compound path with multiple shapes question

Sorry, I have read the answers on this board but its just not working for me.
If you can imagine a film reel. I have a large circle with 5 circles within. I simply cannot get it to do what I want, which is the five circles within to 'punch through' the base circle.
I have the base circle at the back, and selected all to creat compound path, this just causes the fronter most circle to punch through, turning the other four circles the same colour as the back ground circles.
Have played with the path finders etc and not getting to a resolution. I gave up and purchased the vector on vectorstock, this one works perfectly and as far as I can work out mine is give or take identical, so why is the compound path not taking?
Illustrator CC latest and macbook retina with 10.10

just to be clear, you start off with this (orange circle behind, all objects separate):
and then you select all, hit ctrl+8 or Make Compound path or whatever, and you end up with something other than this?

Not able to get rid of a Question mark in the Dock

A friend got stuck with a Question Mark in the Dock of his 4 year old iMac that was linked to an app not compatible anymore with his latest 10.8.2 version ( guess it was a Power PC app, before Mountain Lion, he was still on Leopard ). He apparently deleted the app and some dependencies manually ( instead of using App Cleaner & Co. ) and now whenever he is hovering over that Question Mark, even before being even able to pull it out from the Dock, the screen flashes up white and the Finder resets.
Is there a way to access the Dock through an element of his user library to get rid of that Mark, or even through a Terminal command ( not that I like to delve in there, but Terminal commands have helped me personally quite often ) ?
Does the Dock have a dedicated place in the Library's User Folder ? Couldn't find anything on my own Mac.
Thanks for any clue ....

Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.
