Handles gone on shape transformations

So I've been trying to fix this annoying problem for ages and I need some help. I'm animating a shape layer with a mask, therefore I'm animating the shape's path transformations, but I need to edit it through the graph editor and the easy in/out features don't cut it. The handles are gone, except the rotation handles. Help?

Check your view options to make sure you have not turned off view handles.

  • How to handle the errors in transformations

    Hi
    I am using SOA, JDev 10.1.3.3.
    How to handle the exceptions in transformations.
    If any thing goes wrong in transformation then how to handle that situation.
    I am not getting any kind of instances like errored out..
    Please help me out
    Regards
    Pavankumar

    I think your issue is that your process is going into manual recovery.
    In the console click on the tab BPEL processes. There is a link on the left for manual recovery. Do you see your processes there?
    What happens if you put your transformation into a scope. The in that scope you have a catch All. In this catch All routine just do a terminate. This will error your process but you should see it appear in the console.
    cheers

  • Event handling on drawn shape

    Is there a way that you could handle an event if the user clicked on a shape drawn in the paint method?

    Hi ,
    first understand the reply2 it is true.
    you can store the information whatever you drawn on the paint method ( like ArrayList , Vecotr , HashMap , Hashtable .... into the Shape co-ordinates and locations some thing like that ) take the MouseEvent to check the mouse position which shape is involved and process it.

  • Event Handling for Graphic Shapes

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem on the implementation of a piece of software that i'm making, to be more specific i implement a GUI. In this GUI i draw rectangles, lines and that kind of things.
    The problem is that i want when clicking on a rectangle, an event to take place such as the drawing of something else, or a message, etc.
    How am i to achieve that? I've tried many things but didn't succeeded it unfortunately. How am i going to "give" life to my rectangles by adding event handling for them? What code should i write?
    Note: My class extends JPanel & i'm using paint(Graphics g) for drawing the shapes

  • Handles on live shapes missing.

    Any new shapes I create do not have the handles to adjust the height or width of the object. This is not a bounding box or edges issue. If I take the shape and expand it they appear. Any ideas?

    Chris,
    I am afraid you have come across the Live rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked to below.
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595973
    So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    It is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles.
    A way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • How do i change the area of a text box (containg text) with the new 'shapes' transform tool..

    the new Illustrator CC 2014 wont let me change the area of a  text box, the text scales with the box.
    is there a setting im missing somewhere that allows me to change the area /shape of a text box like we could in CC and before?

  • Where the bounding box and handles gone?

    Today I had updated Illustrator 2014 to .1 and I did realized that bounding box are gone...
    It works fine where two or more objects are selected but for one object it just disappeared...
    How to get it back?

    Hi, thank you for your answer
    It applies to plain rectangle tool, it looks like they just made changes to it and for now it doesn't behave as it was in version 18.0
    When I do select two plain rectangle using a shift key then, bounding box is back again, ready to sue..
    Thank you for Pawel's script link
    PS. Is there any place here to post a feature list and to be pretty sure they - I mean Adobe's team, will check it and to apply in the newest version of AI?
    I'm mobile phone designer, and there is hundreds sall things which will make my job pretty easy instead of new great features which my or may not needed for most of the mobile app designers?

  • No handles on shapes

    I have a legacy document, a huge complex map, that I am updating. I am having trouble because I cannot see handles on the shapes unless I roll my cursor over them. I had 2 interns work on the document this past summer and who knows what they have done to it because it worked fine before. My fear is, one of them was a programmer and might have customized something that I cannot fix. If I make a new document I have handles and Illustrator works fine. The problem seems to be in this document.

    Look in the upper left to see hat type of item you have selected.
    Also look in the appearance palette
    Unfortunately masked objects will plainly say group, as in the first screenshot. My best guess is you have a symbol. You would see an edit symbol button in the top bar that you want to use.
    If you have a masked object, there will be a button to edit contents(looks like a circle with a dot in the middle.

  • Rotate MC with transform.matrix

    I have a number of movie clips that contain shapes. Each of these movieclips is contained in a parent movieClip (so they can all be moved at once if need be); However, the individual movieclip also have listeners that allow you to drag or rotate them. Rotation is initiated by during a hitTest over targets on the shapes.
    I have had success in rotating the MCs when I use an intermediate movieclip whose x and y and been offset to simulate a registration point in the center of the shape. However, because the invisible parts of the MCs can be half again as wide or tall as the shapes, I'm having some issues with them bleeding off the edge of the screen.
    Is there a way to use transform and get a smooth rotation? I can't seem to get the center point of the MC to stick and think it may have to do with the fact that a rotating MC is inside a parent MC, so its x and y positions can be negative when it is moved individually in relation to the other MCs.
    Thanks for any help you can shed. I'll be happy to post the code, thought it's bit spaghetti at this point.

    Kglad,
    While the parent isn't being rotated, it used to:
    Group all of the shapes together
    Acts as a basis for a bitmap object
    The problem occurs when I align the parentMC to the bottom and right edges of the stage. If left where the true boundary of the parentMC exists, there's a huge gap between the visible part of the shapes and the edge of the screen. If I manually adjust the parenMC, the screen size of the background is enlarged, and any object that rely on the right edge for alignment slide off screen.
    The breakdown of the display objects looks like this:
    ScreenContainer
    Background Image Container
    Shapes Container (holds all of the puzzle shapes)
    Individual Shape Container (a movieclip that can be dragged or rotated--X and Y offset to rotate around center)
    Individual Shape Subcontainer (a movieclip holds the drag handles and the shape--X and Y offset)
    Handle at each vertex
    Shape
    Tool Area
    I want to rotate the Individual Shape Container (not the subcontainer) without offsetting the X and Y positions of it or the Subcontainer using a transform. My problem seems to be in assigning the center point during the transform.
    Does that make sense?

  • Can error handling framework use fault policies and BPEL catch blocks

    As part of an integrated customer solution that makes substantial use of SOA Suite (including OSB, BPEL, Mediator, etc) we are in the process of designing an “Error Hospital” subsystem to expose a web service API specifically for BPEL services and/or the OSB layer to call whenever they encounter an exception which they cannot handle so that the appropriate user is notified of the error (via email) and the error is recorded (in an appropriate common fault format, with error codes elaborated into more meaningful descriptions, etc) within OEM, immediately prior to returning the exception to the caller.
    The problem we have experienced in our design is as follows:
    •     We have an error handling service to be called, inside the BPEL catch blocks, when an error occurs to notify the appropriate user, via email, that an error has occurred;
    •     We also use the error handling XML fault-policies so that we can recover from an error using OEM (via human intervention);
    •     The error service needs to be called before the process is suspended (waiting for human intervention) so the email notification and error message formatting occurs BEFORE the recovery action. Unfortunately the fault policies trigger BEFORE the error handler is able to transform the error into the appropriate format and notify the user so the error recorded is not the reformatted one and the user is never notified.
    The key question is how can a BPEL, upon catching an exception, invoke the error handling service and AFTER that send the error to OEM (and have the process suspended).
    It seems the two mechanisms "cannot play nicely together"

  • Can't rotate individual letters in a text shapes layer

    So I created some text in After Effects and converted them to shape objects. I can do X, Y, and Z rotation on the whole phrase but not on the individual letters. Is there any way to fix this?

    You will have to move each shape layer to a new layer so you can use the layer rather than the shape transform controls. Shape transforms are only X and Y. Unfortunately there is no automatic way to 'release to layers' as there is in Illustrator. You have to cut (ctrl/cmnd + x), create a new shape layer (sorry no keyboard shortcut),  and paste (ctrl/alt + v).

  • Transform date from dd-mon-yy to yyyy-mm-dd

    Hi
    I have a simple date transformation question.
    my input date format is DD-MON-YY, I want this converted to YYYY-MM-DD
    I did look into the xp20:format-dateTime and ora:formatDate but did not find a way
    to control the input format. I did test the transformation below, and this one gives the expected output, as
    long as the input is xp20:current-dateTime().
    <xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]')"/>
    How do I switch the date format to handle DD-MON-YY as input.
    To be specific:
    when ns:myDate=01-Aug-08' I would expect outcome as below,
    <xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(ns:myDate,'[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]')"/> => 2008-08-01
    but this is clearly not so.
    any idea on how to do this, without starting a full substring-implementation?
    according to this thread, it looks like we need to leave this to java, but I believe it must be possible to
    handle this within xslt-transformation.
    On the other hand, dd-mon-yy is not ISO, and four digit year would be unambiguous .
    anyway:

  • BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
    | COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
    How do i handle the same in transformation file?
    Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
    *OPTIONS

    OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
    DELIMITER = ,
    AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .

    *MAPPING
    COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
    ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
    TIME=*COL(13)
    AMOUNT=*COL(14)
    I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
    Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
    Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

  • Creating transparent shapes in traced images

    Ok so I am just starting out with Illustrator and until I know how to make vectors from scratch I've been making due with the 'Image Trace' option for my logos. I do run into a problem though. If something within the image needs to be cut out to show as a transparency, just deleting the vector shape the Trace created wont give me that. The black lines I use to border my image ends up turning into a whole background shape in itself, so whatever black I delete, all the connecting black gets deleted as well. I want to know a way I can select, for instance, inside the lettering of the image below and cut out a shape to match the border around the rest of the lettering. I hope I'm making sense! I don't know any technical terms yet...The solution is probably obvious but I'm lost none-the-less. This would be a big help!

    residualhaunt,
    To continue:
    until I know how to make vectors from scratch I've been making due with the 'Image Trace' option for my logos
    You may still start by drawing things by hand, or just use something you have drawn already, and use that as a template.
    You may then scan the hand drawn artwork and place it on its own layer, locked, then recreate it (on top) by using the Pen Tool or other tools for special shapes (such as Rectangle/square, Ellipse/circle, Star, Polygon, Spiral, whatever), and you may use the Type Tool to create the text if you have the right fonts; you may edit while drawing with the tools, and you may edit/adjust afterwards.
    One way of editing underway when using the Pen Tool is to use the Spacebar: when you Click or ClickDrag (for curved path segments) and wish to adjust the position of the Anchor Point you have just made, you may Hold the Spacebar and move about (ClickHolding) until you are satisfied; if it has Handles, the Handles are freezed as long as you Hold the Spacebar. You can switch freely between adjusting the Anchor Point and adjusting the Handles by Holding/non Holding the Spacebar as many times as you like, then go on to the next Anchor Point.
    You can adjust Anchor Point positions and Handles afterwards by ClickDragging with the Direct Selection Tool (after deselecting the object if needed); you may Click the Anchor Point or an adjacent path segment to have the Anchor Point and Handles shown.
    You may also start working without a template.
    Unless you are after a hand drawn appearance, the Pen Tool gives more accurate and clean artwork than do the Pencil and Paintbrush Tools.
    To practise with the Pen Tool, in order to get the insight into its working, you may trace anything: (serif) letters, circles, ellipses, (rounded) rectangles, images.
    One thing to remember is that fewer Anchor Points (with the right Handles) give smoother shapes.

  • Shape gradient

    When I create a gradient on a shape layer using the shapes own gradient fill, If I move the shape the gradient stays where it is.   Why does this happen and how do I keep the gradient so that it stays on the shape if I move it.

    The layer transform tools will move the entire shape layer including any effects you apply like Gradient Ramp. If you applied Gradient ramp to a Shape layer and you use the Shape Object (path, polestar, etc.,) transform tools to move the shape on the layer then the Gradient Ramp will not move.
    If, on the other hand, you have properly selected a gradient fill and the gradient start and end points are based on the shape and will move with the shape transform controls as well as the layer transform controls.
    If you are experiencing something different then you need to send us a screenshot of your shape layer with all properties revealed.
    Here's what a normal shape with a gradient fill would look like. You can see the start and end points when Gradient is selected and the shape transform controls:
    The only way I can think of that would give you a gradient fill that didn't move with the shape would be to use some weird combination of Merge Paths and place the gradient below the Merge.

Maybe you are looking for
