Grid no longer lines up with rulers!

For some reason, I can no longer adjust the grid to line up with my rulers. Usually when you are viewing the grid, if you drag your ruler coordinates, the grid would line up with 0,0, coordinates.
Now it seems to only work for me when I select the artboard tool icon, that allows me to move the grid. Then when I leave the artboard to go back to work, the grid moved, but then I manually have to move the ruler to match the new grid placement...
I don't know if I am explaining myself clearly. This is a major nuisance, since I do a lot of floor plans in Illustrator and need to move the grid around when I am working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Figured it out!
I'm on a mac and by doing a control click on the ruler you'll get a menu that has an option to Change to Global Rulers... if you select this, then the menu changes to Change to Artboard Rulers.
Somehow I must have inadvertantly turned on "Change to Artboard Rulers" at some point... I'm thinking that there must be a shortcut that I don't know about...
I've been using Illustrator since it's inception... never had a need to change the Artboard rulers before....
Crisis averted

  • Pixel grid does not line up with rulers

    AICS 5.5 - I'm working in a doc with measurement set to pixels, showing the grid set to increments of 1 pixel. I reset the rulers by double-clicking on the origin. The grid does not align to the ruler pixels. It's about halfway between on the y axis and about 3/5 of the way off on the x axis. When I create objects with the origin and width/height set to even pixels (which makes them fall between the pixel grid lines) and save for web, the edges are antialiased.
    How do I make the rulers and pixel grid register with each other? It seems odd this wouldn't be the default.

    Aha - it turns out the artboards were not placed precisely on the pixel grid. Their origins were set between whole pixel values. The rulers went with the artboards, so their pixels didn't match the grid pixels.
    Should be possible to just move the artboard and get everything lined up again.
    Still - I would  think the grid would readjust to the origin of whatever artboard you are currently working on, just as the rulers do. It not doing so is unexpected behavior.

  • Sending/receiving email with long lines of text.

    Using mail with yahoo plus. Composed emails have long lines of text. Recipients complain that they have to scroll left to right to view them. Not so on a PC with Outlook, anyone know of a solution to this. Thanks

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the response. No, there were no rules set, but your query gave me ideas. I'd never been in the rules section before, but I played with it for a while with some trial and error and finally made a rule that set all the emails to show with black text, and duplicated it for all the mailboxes, and voila! there were all the emails listed in black text.
    While I'm sure there are more effective ways of writing a rule, my rule worked fine. I had it say that if "any" of the following conditions are met: "From" "Contains" "@", perform the following actions: "Set color" "of text" "Other [black]" and applied it to the mailbox.
    Thanks for the spark of the idea.

  • How to print a text file with long lines?

    I am trying to print a text file which contains many long lines. I find that the long lines are truncated on the printouts. How do I wrap up these long lines? Could you give me some examples?

  • Why am I getting a ghost grid after doing a crop WITH A ROTATION? Ps CC 2014

    After using the crop tool (C) WITH A ROTATION using Ps CC 2014 (2014.2.1 Release; 20141014.r.257 x64), I can see a hazy orthogonal grid of varying line widths in the darker areas of the image(s). It appears to be about the same size as the alignment grid that appears during the crop function. It seems the grid somehow is including itself when the rotation algorithm is executed. This does not happen if there is no rotation function being used.
    This phenomena does not happen at all on Ps CS6 Extended.
    I am using Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Samsung Series-7 Gamer laptop (i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.23GHz; NVIDIA GeForce 675M GPU w/ 3GB video RAM; 16GB system RAM)

    Sorry to be so long in replying.
    That  may have been the problem. I can't recreate the
    problem today. I know I'm not crazy because I showed the guy I was working
    with the failure mode and it was consistent and repeatable for him. Perhaps
    restarting the machine reset whatever was screwy in the video driver / GPU.
    If I see it again, I will be sure to keep an example.
    It was a lot of work with the spot healing brush I didn't need to do! 
    Thanks for your response.

  • How to handle long lines in a JAD file?

    Hi all,
    setting MIDlet permissions in a JAD file easily expands the length of one line so that they need to get wrapped into 2 or more lines. AFAIK JADs actually are manifest files and the manifest file spec says that a line continuation is marked by a line beginning with a single space. I use Ant to create the JAD file and Ant's manifest task does it exactly like this. Example:
    MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.bluetooth.client,j
    avax.microedition.io.Connector.socketThis works on my Sony Ericsson phone and in the MicroEmu emulator, but the WTK (2.5.2) emulator complains about that by throwing an exception:
    com.sun.midp.midletsuite.InvalidJadException: Reason = 28
         at com.sun.midp.midletsuite.JadProperties.partialLoad(+259)
         at com.sun.midp.midletsuite.JadProperties.load(+8)
         at com.sun.midp.dev.DevMIDletSuiteImpl.create(+252)
         at com.sun.midp.dev.DevMIDletSuiteImpl.create(+74)
         at com.sun.midp.main.Main.runLocalClass(+20)
         at com.sun.midp.main.Main.main(+80)So who is wrong here?
    Thanks for some information!
    Best regards,
    Brian

    MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.bluetooth.client,j
    avax.microedition.io.Connector.socketif memory serves, inability to handle stuff like above is a known WTK bug.
    Try workarounds like "glueing" permissions into single (long) line or splitting them on commas

  • How can I change the view in Show Page Source from one long line to a more readable view

    When using Develop --> Show Page Source in Safari 6.0.1 I get a view of the html that is just one long line. I can scroll along to the right but it is not very easy to use.
    It seems to me that when I first used this feature I had a formatted view, that is the text was broken into separate lines and was easier to read.
    But I think I clicked on something and it change to one line. I can't find a way to change it back.
    Is anyone familiar with this? Or can point me to more information about Show Page Source formatting?
    Thanks.

    Oh, I see the problem.
    The one long line view only occurs when I'm viewing a page locally on my own computer. (When I choose Show Page Source for any page on the internet the display is formatted normally.)
    So obviously if I want to see the code in my own files I can just go open them in the text editor. I used to use View Page Source (previous version of Safari) as a shortcut for a quick peek. If there is a solution to this formatting thing for local files I'd love to know it, otherwise I'll just put it on the you-can't-do-that-anymore list.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

  • Making a straight line aligned with text and adjusting length

    i am trying to make a simple straight line above some text in after effects cs5 that lines up with the beginning and end of the text. Not touching or anything. Nothing special. then a line perpendicular to it of a different stroke size.
    Also i want it to draw or fill in.
    first of all, if i dont get the line length perfect the first time, and i try to adjust the length, then the stroke width changes, also the scale.
    this is maddening because if i am making other pieces that i will animate together, i want them to be the same. and every time i try to adjust the line length, it changes everything...
    or do i just make all lines and type graphics in illustrator or photoshop and import them...and make a mask.  I almost think that all those extra steps might be easier...(sarcasm)
    any tips on this as this super basic task is turning into a headache?
    thx in advance.

    Well, because if you dont get it exactly correct and you want to make it longer or shorter, not only does that change, but the stroke starts scaling. So now you have simply a shorter line, you have a line that appears the same but is inevitably different point sizes and different scales that are maddening to match. I am animating several iterations of a kind of type/line template in 3d space. So i have made each on its own composition that is not 3d.
    i thought you would be able to just click on the end of the line/path and make the line itself shorter or longer like in illustrator. Also when the scale changes, it changes its position slightly from its anchor point....

  • Replace Mac line breaks with Windows linebreaks?

    Is there a simple AppleScript that could process a plain text file created on a Mac and replace the line breaks with Windows-compatible \r\n line breaks?
    I thought this would be a very simple task but have been searching for quite a while and can't find anything.
    Thanks.
    Paul

    There are several approaches to this. Here's one of them:
    set theFile to (choose file)
    set MacText to paragraphs of (read theFile)
    set {oldDelims, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, (return & linefeed)}
    set WindowsText to MacText as text
    set my text item delimiters to oldDelims
    set outputFile to (open for access theFile with write permission)
    set eof outputFile to 0
    write WindowsText to outputFile
    close access outputFile
    To explain, the first line asks you to choose the file in question - you could use any technique to identify the file, including hard-coding the path or using a drag-and-drop handler.
    The second line gets the current paragraphs and calls them 'MacText'
    The third line saves the current text item delimiters in oldDelims and sets the new text item delimiters to the CR+LF combination.
    The fourth line performs the magic of transforming the file. It does this by coercing the list of paragraphs (obtained in line 2) into a single text block, and it inserts the current text item delimiters between each text item, miraculously giving you CRLF-terminated paragraphs.
    The fifth line restores the text item delimiters to whatever they were before (you don't know what they were, but don't need to know what they were, as long as you restore the previous setting - it's unlikely you want CRLF moving forwards).
    The rest of the script (lines 6 through 9) reopen the file you originally selected, sets the EOF to 0 (effectively wiping the file contents), then writes the CRLF-terminated text to the file and finally closes the file.
    Note that some people might suggest using text item delimiters to break up the original text file on CRs but that would be wrong IMHO. The reason is that 'paragraphs of' can detect and handle both CR and CRLF-terminated paragraphs, leaving you with clean paragraphs into which you insert CRLFs.
    This means that if the file originally had CRLF-terminated paragraphs you'd end up with the same data, but at least there was no harm done.
    In contrast, if you simply searched for CRs and replaced them with CRLFs you could have the situation where you selected a CRLF-terminated file (maybe you didn't realize it was already in the Windows format) and your script would blindly replace each CR with CRLF, meaning you'd end up with CRLFLF combinations, which is very wrong.

  • ADSL or ADSL2 on a long line?

    i have BT business boadband (office unlimited ADSL2 Next Gen (up to 20 Mb)). Historically i have had poor broadband hence swapping to business to try and improve matters. i have now ditched the home hub and gone to a 7800N which has made a big difference. although over Christmas the flashing lights played havoc with the broadband and now i have a high SNR margin and interleaving..
    However, my main question is will it be worth me pushing for ADSL2 given my line (stats from DSL stats below). currently my router will only connect with G.DMT so i am assuming i can only get ADSL? Will ADSL2 or indeed 2+ improve speed/stability on a long line with attenuation around 62 dB?

  • Grid of small lines around icons and cursor?

    As I'm not sure if this is an OS fault or display fault I have also posted this in the OS forum...
    Recently I'm getting a "grid" of small lines, about 1 inch square, around all desktop icons and around the cursor. It doesn't appear on any open windows, except around where the cursor is. I have run "applejack" to repair the disk and permissions etc.
    If I shut the computer down for a while and then restart, sometimes they go away, sometimes not. When I shut down, as soon as the icons disappear, so do the lines so it may not be a display problem, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Gary, a few months ago my G5 got the 'intermittent shut down' problem, then after a couple of months, it just died. It had been going on before the warranty ran out, but stupidly I didn't pursue it.. until too late. Thankfully, after spending rather too long being misinformed by a guy in India who couldn't understand the nuances of my argument (lol), Apple Ireland agreed to repair it in the interests of good customer relations etc. I was told both that my machine WAS then WASN'T within the range of serial numbers covered by the exetended warranty covering that known fault.
    And now it's the same again; it's a known fault - proven by the fact there's an extended warranty on a range of serial numbers (not bloody mine again).
    I'm going to talk to Apple tomorrow and I'd like to know how, given this fault is an economic write-off (£600 to repair against £800 for a new machine!!)they expect to keep me buying Mac, particularly when I KNOW they acknowledge the fault.
    Our teenager's Packard Bell, bought in 2002 is looking like a strong contender to outlive BOTH our 2005 Macs at this rate. Not good enough.
    Glad to hear yours was still under warranty. You'd be a bit annoyed if it wasn't!

  • Post 21CN WBC Experiences - Long Line?

    Hi
    My rural exchange is due for 21CN WBC upgrade this June
    I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience following this type of upgrade -  specifically on a long line
    The 'experts' claim there will be no positive impact for low speed long line sufferers but interested to hear from anyone with 'real life' experience of this
    My stats:
    Sync around 1.3meg
    D/Load around 900k
    U/Load around 280k
    snr down 6db
    Line Att 74db
    Router/modem BT 2Wire 2700
    Faceplate fitted

    big difference from 55 to 74 though  a 1.3mb connection with 74 attenuation is good

  • How to increase your speed on long lines

    After 4 engineer visits and everyone saying that at 1300m from the cabinet 12mb was going to be the best speed I could get I have found a way to nearly double my speed. Dumped the homehub5 and replaced it with a Billion 8800NL and now have a steady 21.5mb and not one dropped connection.
    So if you are on a longer line its worth a try for £68 from Amazon.
    Thought I would share this as I found it so frustrating that I could get nowhere near the speed I was sold now im just 1mb away from the lower estimate so I can live with that.

    That's an amazing speed for your attenuation

  • Bug: text editor doesn't show scrollbars on very long lines

    i'm sending a test json message to a class, which means that i have a super long line of content (easily 15k chars). for whatever reason, the horizontal scrollbar won't fire, which means that it gets clipped to the window with no way to move right. even moving the cursor with the keyboard won't advance it. looks like i broke something

    Ballistic,
    Can you please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ and include your project or a simple test case showing the issue.
    Thanks,
    Peter
