Help with GRAPH Marker Design Tutorial

I am trying to create a custom marker design for a line chart (Using Illustrator CS3). I've followed all the steps in the HELP RESOURCE CENTER, but I can not get my marker to size any larger than the initial itty-bitty-square it creates. According to HELP, you can size your artwork larger than the initial marker square you copy and build the art over. That the design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same as the default square marker.
I've built it all in the proper order. But when I go to apply my new custom marker design, it is all sized DOWN to fit in the default square marker space.
Anyone out there with experience in customizing?

To add a detail: the marker box will always 6 pt square, no matter how big or small your designed marker is. So, to create a new marker design, simply draw the design as big or small as you want; position it in relation to the orig 6 pt square [which is always backmost].
I found this clarification with step-by-step instructions in this pdf document:
http://www.adobe.com/products/adobemag/archive/pdfs/9611qaai.pdf
When you save your marker design in the graph dialogue box, only the portion of your design that falls WITHIN the 6 pt square is previewed; but your entire design will show up when you apply it.
Hope this saves a bit of frustration!

  • Help with Print Layout Designer

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum.  Moderator(s)  if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
    I need some help with Print Layout Designer.  I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report.  They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document.  The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible.  I check it and In Stock shows up as designed.  The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name.  I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column.  I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content.  I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109.  I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number.  That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column.  I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand".  I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty".  I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet.  I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one.  I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer".  According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on.  Can anyone help?
    TIA,
    Steve

    I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
    The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

  • Can anyone help with database driven design

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the best way to serve large amounts
    of text on an html page. I have manuals with lots of links that I
    want to add to a website. I would like to employ database driven
    web development in my design, would this be a good use for it? If
    so would you suggest php and what database?
    Thanks!
    Please forgive me for double posting, I posted this in the
    general forum but maybe should have done it here first?

    I would say it totally depends on the format that the manuals
    are in. If they're HTML than you can store them as BLOB's in mysql
    and you're life will be rather easy. You would need to parse the
    blob output for URLs but that's about it.
    However, if the manuals are in PDF than a database wouldn't
    help with the storage of the actual files, however you can use
    either XML or a DB (i.e. mysql) to store the metadata about that
    manual so that you can at least make the site searchable.
    A little more information about your data/website would
    probably be helpful.

  • Help with Package Label Design

    Hi, I work for a one of the fortune 500 company as a helpdesk. Last month my company came out with a go green logo and when I saw I decide to create one. I showed the logo to my Director and my director forwarded the design to the Marketing department. They really like the design, but they couldn't use it because they already pay a design company for that logo and the logo were already print on the market. What happen next, is that they send me an email Yesterday asking me if I'm interest in getting an interview for a packaging designer job and the interview is going to be for next month. Now, I have no experience with packaging, label and printing and they know that, but I will like to surprise the with couple of design. I would like to know what software do I need to use from design to printing and if there is any good website with good tutorials. Thanks

    They probably liked your style ( on the green logo ) and want to incorporate it into their packaging.  You should be honest and tell them you do not have any experience.  They'll probably bring you in at "entry level" so they can groom you to their corporate culture.  You'll probably be working under a senior designer and will probably spend a few months learning how things are done.  I'd imagine you'll need some basic knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop, if not some intermediate level capabilities with both programs.
    Now, if you want to impress them, find a current package the company had produced in the last few years.  Pull it apart and get it to lie flat.  Re-create the entire piece using Illustrator.  This will include a spot layer with dies.  Focus on improving the design and look of the piece, but make sure you do not copy what has already been done.  Come up with something original and incorporate your version of the "green" logo.  It does not have to be anything out-of-sight, but shows you know the company, you know how to improve the existing packaging out there, and you'll show initiate.  They'll probably never use it ( like your "green" logo, but will get you the job ).
    This will take you some time.  I do not know of any web tutorials, but both Illustrator and Photoshop come with a few.  You could also go to a local bookstore and take alook at what they have in their "graphic design" section.  Some books come with a CD that has some templates and files you can take a look at.
    There must be a void they're looking to fill, otherwise you'd never get the interview.  Don't get too stressed out trying to impress them.  They're already impressed.  But, if you "claim" to know it all in software, you'll be doing yourself a huge injustice.  Talent does not come in a box.  Sounds like they're willing to get you started, so go for it.

  • Need help with graph/chart

    Heey everyone,
    I am currently using a Spider8 and Labview to gain data from sensors, after that i use Labview to process the data to charts or graphs. Alltough I have 2 small problems using a chart/graph:
    1: For some charts/graphs i want to use 1 Y-axis (example: volts or current) and 1 X-axis, time. I want this time to be like a clock which only counts seconds (example: 0-100sec), using absolute or relative time for formatting is not an option because they count way too much/fast. There is an example of these kind of charts/graphs in the appendix: currents vs time measurement.
    2: For most of the other charts/graphs i want to use several Y-axis (example for a motor: current, RPM and torque) and i want to use a X-axis which can go "back" (example for a motor: rotations). There is an example of these kind of charts/graphs in the appendix: Torque measurement.
    I dont have any idea of how to do this the right way, so your help is very welcome
    Thanks!

    Could anyone help me please? I have used the XY-graph for both graphs i wanted to make and they work. The point is I want to use an XY-graph (with several Y-axis) so i can plot in several different signals. For example we have 2 signals for the XY-graph: one is going from -10 to +10 and the other from -150 to +150 but i`ve created a graph which has 2 Y-axis (one from -20 to +20 for signal 1, one from -200 to +200 for signal 2). Well how am I able to say that signal 1 is for y-axis 1 and signal 2 is for Y-axis 2. I have tried to use a "merge signals" to merge signal 1 and 2 for the Y-axis but this doesn`t really work, it only shows me 1 of the 2 signals for Y-axis 1 depending which one is on top in the merge signals block. PS: I have posted the vi which im testing this problem with in the appendix.
    If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please help me !

  • Need help with graph

    hello
    i have a BAR_HORIZ_STACK_2Y graph and i would like both y1 and y2 to have the same scale. how can i do it?

    If they need to be the same scale why not just use a single Y graph?
    To customize the second Y axis add a <dvt:y2Axis> tag in your graph and play with the attributes.
    There are more y2 tags that help you customize the behavior here:

  • Need help with installing CS6 Design Standard

    Hi all,
    Bought CS6 Design standard as a download from Currys the other day. I have a list of 4 files to download.
    First one is a PDF to tell me how to activate my student software.
    Second is a download .exe file for design standard
    Third is another .exe for illistrator content installer
    Fourth is another .exe for indesign and incopy content installer.
    I've donwloaded all 4 files and once i've clicked on the two content installers i then click on the design standard .exe file and up comes this error message "the file archive part of adobe cs6 design standard is missing. you need all parts in the same folder in order to extract adobe cs6 design standard. please download all parts."
    As google automatically places all the download items into the downloads folder, I'm assuming I've done the correct thing and placed them all in the same folder.
    I have read that you need to extract a .72 folder or something. however i cannot see that on my downloads list.
    Please could someone help, or is this a case of taking my laptop into currys and demanding someone to help me??

    you should contact your vendor to see where that 7z file is.
    btw, it should not be manually extracted.  the exe will extract the 7z file's contents.

    What you are trying to achieve is determined by how the data are set up in the repository. In order to get all the values under one heading called "division," it needs to be in the hierarchy that would than allow you to choose "division" and then the corresponding expenses and profits, regardless of the category, brand or porduct. If the category, brand and products columns don't have a corresponding "division" entry in the table, you will not be able to achieve what you desire.

  • Help with Graph

    Hi All
    In a report i have field called "CERTIFY" and it has two values 1 and 2. Based on this i create a calculation:
    CASE WHEN DW_MDSS_ROUTE_SO_POST.CERTIFY = '1' THEN COUNT(DW_MDSS_ROUTE_SO_POST.CERTIFY) WHEN DW_MDSS_ROUTE_SO_POST.CERTIFY = '2' THEN COUNT(DW_MDSS_ROUTE_SO_POST.CERTIFY) ELSE NULL END
    The above calculation gives me the count of records when "CERTIFY" is 1 and 2 as two different bars.
    Now i have a second field called"DEVIATION" and its a text field. It has values only when "CERTIFY=2", what i wanted in the report is in the graph i want two bars "COUNT WHEN 1 AND WHEN COUNT IS 2" and in the COUNT BAR FOR 2 , i want to seperate the COUNT based on the DEVIATION " I want DEVIATION AND COUNT" as a STACKED bar.
    Thanks

    Sorry, Thinking Eye. This is not an answer. However, it may help to get your question answered if you show how some example data look in tabular or cross-tabular form and then state which columns or rows you wish to graph as bars and how you want them grouped. It would also be helpful if you could do it in SQL*Plus in case anyone wanted to try it out on their system. This would include create table, insert, and select statements to show the result set of data you wish to plot. As in:
    SQL>CREATE TABLE t
      2     ( certify INT,
      3       deviation VARCHAR2(30)
      4     );
    Table created.
    SQL>INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 1, NULL );
    1 row created.
    SQL>INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 1, NULL );
    1 row created.
    SQL>INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'LEMON' );
    1 row created.
    SQL>INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'ORANGE' );
    1 row created.
    SQL>INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'LIME' );
    1 row created.
    SQL>SELECT certify
      2         , deviation
      3         , CASE
      4             WHEN certify = 1 THEN COUNT(certify)
      5             WHEN certify = 2 THEN COUNT(certify)
      6             ELSE NULL
      7           END AS cnt
      8    FROM t
      9  GROUP BY certify, deviation;
        CERTIFY DEVIATION                              CNT
              1                                          2
              2 LIME                                     1
              2 LEMON                                    1
              2 ORANGE                                   1
    4 rows selected.Now since the following query gets the same results, you'll need to explain why you are using that CASE statement.
    SQL>SELECT certify
      2         , deviation
      3         , COUNT(*) AS cnt
      4    FROM t
      5  GROUP BY certify, deviation;
        CERTIFY DEVIATION                              CNT
              1                                          2
              2 LIME                                     1
              2 LEMON                                    1
              2 ORANGE                                   1

  • Help with chapter/marker issue, please

    Using DVDSPRO 2.0.5.
    One track, 58 mins of movie.
    Have set five chapter markers and buttons, plus one 'Play Whole Movie' button.
    Playback via 'Play Whole Movie' button results in playback of Whole Movie track stopping at the end of each chapter and jumping back to Main Menu.
    It did not do this playback jump-back on my set-top box, but it DID do it on a client's player. Oh dear.
    What am I doing wrong? Why won't the Main Movie Track play straight through (i.e. ignore) each marker and continue to the absolute end, i.e. minute 58?
    (End Jump of Whole Movie track is set to Main Menu.)
    Can this only be avoided by using Stories, and telling the Main Track that it must play through without stopping at the Chapter Markers?
    G4 Quicksilver 860 Mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP 4.5 HD

    My own solution:
    Create a second 'Whole Movie' track with the same Whole Movie asset. This Track is connected to the Play Whole Movie Button. The track has NO Chapter Markers. It of course jumps back to Main menu at its end,
    The original 'Whole Movie' track with Chapter Markers is re-named to 'Story Track'. The Chapter Buttons are connected to this markers on track.
    Might this fix the problem for EVERY SET-TOP BOX?

  • Help with Coherence EntryProcessor design

    Hi Gurus,
    We are in the process of designing our End Of Day Trade processing application on Coherence 3.7.1, the use case is as under
    1. Trades coming through JMS channels are split in to Parent Trade + Child SubTrades, these trades and subtrades are placed in to their respective cache, collocated by Key Affinity.
    2. We want to use Entry Processors to process each type of SubTrade and update the Parent Trade (An EntryProcessor per SubTrade Type).
    3. Once all SubTrades are processed, The Trade reaches the Completed State and should be Audited and removed from the cache with all its SubTrades.
    The EntryProcessors are working fine on preloaded Cache, Can you Gurus please verify the approach and please advise us how to extend it further for Trades being added to the cache after the invocation of the EntryProcessors, i.e we want to call these processors recursively. Is there a way to know when all EntryProcessors has completed so a new Execution for the same can be initiated, we want to avoid a number of event processors lined up unnecessarily.

    There must be a void they're looking to fill, otherwise you'd never get the interview.  Don't get too stressed out trying to impress them.  They're already impressed.  But, if you "claim" to know it all in software, you'll be doing yourself a huge injustice.  Talent does not come in a box.  Sounds like they're willing to get you started, so go for it.

  • Help with Lego Digital Designer Troubleshooting

    I downloaded LEGO Digital Designer 4.0 the first day I got this computer, on December 4, 2010. I went on it today and it wouldn't load so I downloaded the new version, LEGO Digital Designer 4.2. But I double-clicked on it and it still won't load. Can anyone help me? PLEASE! I really wanted to build something, . I want that frown to turn into this: ! HELP ME PLEASE!

    It looks to me that LDD was written for Leopard. I couldn't find any reference on their wesite for Lion compatability. Since you posted no profile I am assuming you have upgraded to Lion.
