Help! Problems with an eraser

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I have a problem with an eraser tool.
I just erased a path, but it becomes like Figure 2!
How can I erase a middle of path, not digging a cave in them.
Thank you!

THat's a closed path, right?
The eraser tool subtracts parts of shapes. View the artwork in outline mode to understand what it does. If you only want to get rid of a part of the path then you need to use the path eraser tool Illustrator Help | Editing paths

  • Problems with "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur". The tools don't affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points.

    Hello!
    I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
    I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
    How can I make the tools work correctly?
    Some information about my computer:
    • Notebook Lenovo Y560
    • Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
    • Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
    • 4Gb RAM
    • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
    • Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix?

  • HELP/Problems with pull-down navigator bar

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if I could get some input. I have just
    re-designed our magazine's site, www.easternsurf.com
    I used Pop-Up menu function in Fireworks 8 to generate our
    Navigator bar. For the most part everything has been working well,
    BUT we've had a couple of complaints that the navigator bar's
    pull-down menus get stuck behind the photos/banner ads/etc. instead
    of in front of them when viewing in Internet Explorer. I'm on the
    Mac platform (OSX Tiger/Macromedia Studio 8) and have seen no
    problems viewing in Safari, Firefox and Netscape. The only
    complaints have come from Internet Explorer users. A couple of
    people updated their browser to the newest version and the problem
    disappeared, however we've still had a couple of people that have
    written in that the newest version of IE is still not displaying
    properly.
    Also we've got a strip of button ads running down the left
    hand side of each page and I've also seen another issue that's
    common on sites of this type...when the pulldown menu overlaps with
    a Flash element, there is a problem with the screen re-draw. I've
    seen this on several other sites and know it's a common problem,
    but does anyone know of a workaround where this won't happen? I
    just noticed that signing on to Adobe's site, there almost seems to
    be a command where the menu keeps re-drawing at a very rapid rate
    so this won't happen.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated, although I'm Mac all
    the way, we are a business and have to get this site visible for
    everyone!
    Thanks

  • Help - problem with white iphone 4 speaker

    Hi, i have a problem with my white iphone 4 speaker. I know the specs stated that the mic is supposed to be on the left and the right is the speaker but i've compared at least 2 other black iphones 4s and there is some volume from the left side (if you close the right side) whereas mine is practically non-existent. Should i be concerned? Is this specific to the white iphone 4? The local telco has not been helpful - they can only reformat the phone and said that this is a software problem. Anyone with similar experience pls share. Thanks in advance.

    You already know the answer.  ALL iphones, every single one of them, have but one speaker at the bottom.  You have NO ISSUE at all with your speakers.  None.  Nothing is wrong.  At all.  No problem.  None.

  • Pleaseeeeeee Help - Problems with position of my web page

    Hi, first sorry on my english
    I have problem with position of my page. I had made my web page in Indesign CS5 and exported to swf file. My web page is working fine (www.igor-flytying.com) but the page is not in the middle of the web browser. How can I fix the problem????? I am a beginer in Indesign. I had try to make some changes in html file (salign) but still nothing.
    Please HELLLLLPPPPPP
    Regards
    Aljosa

    Petteri, SWFObject is much better because it loads the JavaScript so you don't see it inside the HTML page, but it still wraps the swf in a div which by default will be positioned in the upperleft of the browser window.
    This is the only way I've been able to center using SWFObject—note that it's the "flashcontent" div style that does the centering not the align embed parameter:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    <head>
    <title>S W F | Centered</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" />
    <!-- Centers the swf on the page. Note: width and height need to match the swf and margin left and right are -.50%-->
    <style type="text/css">
              #flashcontent {width: 1000px; height: 750px; margin-left: -500px; margin-top: -375px; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%;}
    </style>
              <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
              <script type="text/javascript">
                        var flashvars = {};
                        flashvars.myFlashVar = "Testing";
                        var params = {}; //Embed parameters: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html

  • Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

    Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
    HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
    So, what's the problem do you think?
    (Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

    Hi Mate,
    I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
    The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case  (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!

  • Help, problem with keeping ipod connected..

    When I connect my ipod, it updates in itunes and then disconnects itself from the computer...how do I make it so after it updates it stays connected and keeps flashing "Do Not Disconnect" on the ipod?

    rahul,
    OK, I do understand you may be having some early problems with just a little bit of data with a few tunes. Have you thought about what you will do in the future as you add more? This is my post on that topic:
    I have been trying to find a way to upload my CD library to my new 60GB iPod (that function works fine) and classify / manage my CD library on it (using iTunes)- that function is nearly unworkable. Now, today, I have used my only 'free' direct APPLE Support contact and the basic answer was 'Too Bad for You!! The iPod does not have nor support multi level indexing or playlists!!!! So...go ahead, load 500 or 600 Cd's onto your iPod and then try to find the tracks you wish to play!! It can't be done except for a 'flat' one level filing system!!! What a BUMMER

  • Help - Problem with Java Updating

    In updating to the latest version of Java - 8.45 - I must also load the Unlimited Strength encryption files.  At least, that's what the README file sez ...
    Unfortunately - when I agree to the terms, and download the "Unlimited Policy" zip file, it contains the US Export Policy encryption file, and NOT the Unlimited Policy File. 
    Can someone help me with what's going on here?  Thanks in advance ... !

    My friend looks like that u are using javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter class as your file filter. Nothing wrong with it, but it works only with JFileChooser and not with the java.io.File.listFiles method. for that u will have to implement the java.io.FileFilter interface.
    He is the code example...
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class FileTest implements FileFilter {
         public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
              new FileTest();
         public FileTest() {
              File f = new File(".");
              File [] list = f.listFiles(this);
              for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
                   System.out.println(list);
    class MyFileFilter implements FileFilter {
         public boolean accept(File pathName) {
              if (pathName.isDirectory()) return true;
              String ext = pathName.getName();
              ext = ext.substring(ext.lastIndexOf(".") + 1, ext.length());
              if (ext.equals("java")) { //check for any extension you want to list

  • I have a Mac Book Pro - HELP - problems with bootcamp = too full

    I have have a Mac Book Pro.  My drive is full.  Sadly I had the partition set up at a store that should have known what they were doing (NOT an apple store, but a certified store that carries only Apple products), anyway.. I am now at the point where my bootcamp is full.  I've tried reading a number of posts, but some things apply to me, some things don't so here is my situation:
    Mac Book Pro
    OS X 10.8.2
    Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Using Bootcamp with Windows 7
    I purchased Camptunes by Paragon and tried repartioning my drive that way.  It looked like it was going to work until the following error message happend:
    Windows filesystem verification failed.  Please, repair Windows volume and try again.  Windows is not letting me do this because I don't have enough room. Round and round the problem goes.
    Initially when I was trying to clear out my Windows side I found a bulky .NET program I wanted to delete.  It would not delete it for me (I can retry to look for that error message), but essentially it wouldn't delete it at all.  I have no temporary internet files I can delete, cookies or other programs (except my printer drivers), but essentially - I can't figure out what to do next.
    I read another post about a person who didn't want to backup their files first.  This is not me.  I do back up to a LACIE back up drive that has a 999.86 GB capacity with 872.11GB free.  What I want to know is do I have to buy another back up to keep it all completely separate?  What other program do you recommend to create a virtual drive?  Can I get a step by step on what to do?  I have the original windows disk if that helps in the equasion.....
    My head hurts.... help!

    interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish
    Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the startup manager window where you can select the startup disk and reboot.
    Then try reformatting (erase) using OS X Recovery  About OS X Recovery
    Keep in mind, Apple does recommend a high speed broadband internet connection for OS X Recovery. A slow connection may time out before recovery is finished.

  • Problem with BlendMode.Erase when drawing on bitmap

    Hi
    I have a scenario where I have to draw a UIComponent on a bitmap. UIComponent contains multiple sprites. One of the sprite has a blend mode of ERASE. The uicomponent draws perfectly on the screen, but the erase sprite started appearing when I draw on a bitmap.
    I am attaching a sample which shows this problem. There are two sprites in a UICompnent, the yellow sprite is drawn with normal blend mode, while the cyan sprite is drawn with erase blend mode. The first drawing where only yellow rectangle is shown is drawn on screen, while the second is image component whose source is bitmap generated from the drawing of first compnonet.
    The thing starts working fine when i draw the cyan rectangle twice one without erase mode and than with erase blend mode. But this solution is quite heavy in my envrionment, as there are multiple erase rectangles.
    Any other suggestion or solution ?
    The source code is also attached.

  • Problem with DrawingPad Erasing

    Hi All,
    Im a little new to java so please forgive me if this seems blatently easy. Im working on constructing a drawing pad and I've got it so it will update and paint correctly when you drag, etc. with the mouse. I'm trying to add a colorchooser which I have done in a dialog. I can select a color and then it will start painting in that color. The problem is the area where the colorchooser popped up over the drawingPad is erased. I've tried everything I could think of including: making sure dialog was non-modal, poping it up in a separate jwindow, repainting everything afterwards, I've even tried tabbed panes and that erases it too. I realize anything that happens over the pad will erase it now so I'm stumped. There has got to be a solution for this. I figure I must have to store every line drawn into an ArrayList or something but I don't know how to either store the drawLine() or graphics as an object in the ArrayList. Thanks for your help in advance.

    I figure I must have to store every line drawn into an ArrayList
    or something but I don't know how to either store the
    drawLine() or graphics as an object in the ArrayList.Yes, you must. What you're describing is like a "scribble" app. Go see how others have done it.

  • Query help - problems with ROLLUP

    I'm trying to make a query i can use for an alert, it generates sales for the past 7 days.
    This query works fine:
    SELECT
          CASE WHEN GROUPING(T0.[CardCode]) = 0
                THEN CAST (T0.[CardCode] AS CHAR(8))
                ELSE 'ALL'
          END AS Customer#,
          SUM(T0.[Max1099]) AS "Total Sales",
          SUM(T0.[GrosProfit]) AS "Gross Profit" 
    FROM OINV T0
    WHERE T0.[DocDate] >= DATEADD(dd,DATEDIFF(dd,0,GETDATE())-7,0) AND T0.[Max1099] > 0
    GROUP BY T0.[CardCode] WITH ROLLUP
    And it gives me this:
    #     Customer#*     Total Sales*     Gross Profit*     
    1     C2235              8,285.87       4,165.77            
    2     C2236           10,191.39              4,197.95            
    3     C2253                570.56               311.17          
    4     C3008           18,756.76       5,720.21            
    5     ALL                   37,804.58    14,395.10            
    Which is great. Gives me a total at the end, and substitutes "ALL" for the customer number. Lovely.
    Problem #1: I REALLY want it to give the Customer Name NEXT TO the Customer Number. But when I try to add it, i have to add it to the GROUP BY as well. Which changes the query to this:
    SELECT
          CASE WHEN GROUPING(T0.[CardCode]) = 0
                THEN CAST (T0.[CardCode] AS CHAR(8))
                ELSE 'ALL'
          END AS Customer#,    
          CardName as "Cust Name",     
          SUM(T0.[Max1099]) AS "Total Sales",
          SUM(T0.[GrosProfit]) AS "Gross Profit"
    FROM OINV T0
    WHERE T0.[DocDate] >= DATEADD(dd,DATEDIFF(dd,0,GETDATE())-7,0) AND T0.[Max1099] > 0
    GROUP BY T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName] WITH ROLLUP
    And changes my output to THIS:
    #     Customer#     Cust Name                             Total Sales     Gross Profit     
    1     C2235             Acme Products                      8,285.87               4,165.77     
    2     C2235          (blanks blanks)                        8,285.87               4,165.77     
    3     C2236             Some Other Products             10,191.39               4,197.95     
    4     C2236          (blanks blanks blanks)            10,191.39               4,197.95     
    5     C2253             Third Customer Name             570.56                  311.17     
    6     C2253          (blanks blanks blanks)                570.56                  311.17     
    7     C3008             Fourth Customer Name       18,756.76       5,720.21     
    8     C3008          (blanks blanks blanks)                                               18,756.76       5,720.21     
    9     ALL                                                                  37,804.58     14,395.10     
    ( I have replaced actual customer names, of course, and replaces actual blanks with the word 'blanks' so it would be more legible.)
    I can't figure out a way to simply list the customer name next to the number. Instead , it gives me a summary for the CardCode and a summary for the CardName.
    I've tried combining the two into one field, on the fly, but haven't been successful.
    Problem #2 - extra credit!
    If i really want this done right, i should also have a query that pulls the same data from ORIN (Credit Memos) and do a UNION ALL, but when i do this, is simply rejects me at the word "UNION"
    any and all help appreciated, and to test this, you can just cut and past the query into SAP, it will run right there, no mods needed.
    oops. I had to change the "Not Equal" symbol to just "greater than" for "Max1099" because it was just dropping the symbol...
    Edited by: Dante Amodeo on Jan 18, 2012 6:30 PM

    Try:

  • [HELP] Problem with restore and recovery to new host

    Hi, guys!
    I have been trying for two days, but still cannot get it to work.
    I have taken a full hot(online) backup with archive logs as well as the control file and SPFILE, and then copied the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and settings. Finally, I have tried to restore & recover the database on the new host but failed during the restore process.
    Both the original host and the new host have the same Oracle installed down to the patch level. I couldn't figure out the proper solution to this problem base on my limited knowledge about Oracle DB.
    Could anyone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your reply,Hemant K Chitale!
    >
    a) Does the directory structur exist on the new server :
    D:\DBDATA\PRODDB\ --- for files 1 to 4
    D:\ --- for file 5
    D:\ORA_DATA\ --- for files 6 to 8
    >
    Yep, I have doubled check the directory structure that get in the way, and they are all exist.
    Would it be something to do with the folder permissions?
    >
    b) Apparently a RESETLOGS has been issued on 07-Nov. Which controflile backup do you have restored and mounted on the new server ? It should be the one after the RESETLOGS.
    >
    I restored the one included with the backup. Should I take another backup of controlfile seperately and restore from it instead?
    >
    (I assume that you did a RESTORE CONTROLFILE followed by sql "alter database mount" before the attempt to RESTORE DATABASE)
    >
    Yep, that's exactly what I did.
    //executed @ RMAN prompt of the new host
    startup nomount; 'the new host has the right SPFILE to start with so i didn''t bother to RESTORE SPFILE first.
    restore controlfile from autobackup;
    alter database mount;
    restore  database sequence 10 thread 1;
    //get stucked here with RMAN-06026, 06023
    //...the following is not executed yet.... :-(
    recover database until sequence 10;
    alter database open resetlogs;Edited by: HappyJay on 2011/11/08 13:25
    I have made several attemps with your advice, but still get the same type of errors.
    Here is the output:

    as you suggested, this backup piece of controlfile should be right one to be restored.
