Hidden function tool palette

Hello, I've just installed Labview 8.6 and I can't see the basics function in the tool palette.  How do I do to be able to see them?  When I do a seach, I can find them.

This is from a fresh install? Weird. Did you install 8.6 into its own directory, or did you try to install it into a previous version's directory? You can try to reset the palette. Also, if you pin the palette (using the pushpin in the upper left) you can get a "View" menu and then go to the "Always visible categories" and select the categories you want to always see.

  • Illustrator CS4 The hidden tools palette

    For some reason when I hold down the right hand side on my mouse pad to access the hidden tools in the tools palette in illustrator, it shows the alternative tools but wont let me switch to them eg I hold down the right hand pad and can see the smooth tool underneath the pencil but I cant switch tools.
    It certainly has worked in the past but appears to have stopped working any ideas?

    Are you perhaps thinking about Photoshop instead of AI ?
    In any case, just try doing the same using the left mouse button.

  • Hidden tools palette? I would like a palette which shows ALL tools, not popups...

    I am really frustrated (for decades now) that Photoshop groups some tools together which don't make sense to me, and so are hard to find when I do want to use them.
    Examples (and vice versa):
    Ruler under Eye dropper
    Pencil under Brush
    Paint Bucket under Gradient
    Sponge under Burn
    Shapes under Line
    etc
    I would like a tools palette which shows ALL tools, all the time.
    Has anyone done one of these? Might I get a copy?
    Thanks

    Excellent! Thank you, very much. That's exactly what I needed!
    This one is in a regular palette window which can be grouped with other windows, so does not take up any extra space.

  • Can I add a second tools palette in a secondary display for convenience?

    Is it possible to add a second tools palette to my workspace for use in a secondary monitor to avoid having to go from one monitor to the ther to change tools. I know about the shortcuts but would still like a second tools palette.

    Keys for selecting tools
    Holding down a key temporarily activates a tool. Letting go of the key returns to the previous tool. To customize shortcuts, see Define new keyboard shortcuts. To view keyboard shortcuts for features that were introduced in Photoshop CS6, see Key shortcuts for CS6 features.
    Note:
    In rows with multiple tools, repeatedly press the same shortcut to toggle through the group.
    Cycle through tools with the same shortcut key
    Shift-press shortcut key (if Use Shift Key for Tool Switch preference is selected)

  • Tools palette in tool bar

    Hi, I'm a comparative new-comer to LabVIEW so this might have been discussed long ago.  Question: why not have the tools palette along the top, in the tool bar where there is lots of empty space? Even the functions palette for the LabVIEW block diagram and controls palette for the front panel might fit on the tool bar. I find it very annoying having to move these palettes when working on a flowsheet.

    LabVIEW isn't a "logging package", but a programming environment. As such it does need a lot of tools available, and I don't think they would fit nicely in the toolbar. If you want the palettes to be more convenient, go to the options menu and select the advanced palette view instead of the express one. You will see now that it's much easier to use the right-click-to-get-palette trick. Most people use high-res (1280x1024 and up), which can also help.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

  • Tools Palette Dropdown Issue

    None of the dropdowns on Tools Palette work ex: Type Tool, Pen Tool, Pencil Tool,etc. I cannot get the dropdowns for any of these to appear. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire suite - reinstalling each separately - no luck. I'm sure it's something to do with Preferences but I don't want to pay tech support $40 to give me a one line fix. Please help - very frustrating.

    There are no "dropdowns" on the tools palette. However, if you click a button and hold for a few seconds, the ones with the little triangles should show the hidden tools in a flyout. Is that not working?
    To replace your preferences hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys as soon as you launch the program (we're talking milliseconds here) and say yes to the dialog when it asks if you want to replace the prefs. If you don't get asked, you weren't fast enough, and nothing has been changed.
    Alternate instructions can be found here:

  • Missing Tool Palette & Audio Meters!!!

    Hi all. My first post.
    A question: Is there a way to reset or lock the windows beyond simply Window > Arrange > Standard ?
    The above function restores the browser, timeline and clip viewers, but the tool palette and audio meters have moved off-screen. I've tried every combo of maximizing, moving and minimizing the other windows, but with no luck. All I can see is the pointer tab on the tool palette. Very frustrating indeed.
    My own fault, since I mess around with the window and tool positioning so much. Please offer any suggestions or similar experiences. Thanks.
    -Chris

    Thanks Tom for responding! Even though closing and relaunching the program didn't work, when I restarted the box it worked fine. The palette & all windows reset.
    Thx,
    -Chris

  • Tool Palette Problem

    When I click on tools in my tools palette the other tools (hidden under it) do not flyout so I can select them. Very strange. Any help would be appreciated.
    Paul W.

    Do you mean click-and-hold or just click?
    Anyway you might just use the single-key Shortcuts to select secondary Tools (either hit the letter repeatedly or shift-letter, if Preferences – General – Use Shift Key for Tool Switch is checked).
    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

  • How can I display the length of the yet unfinished line that a user is drawing in the image using the line tool of the IMAQ tool palette.

    Is this really not possible using standard Labview/Vision YI`s?

    Herbert,
    I can't find a way to extract the information you want within the program. However, this information is displayed as part of the IMAQ tool palette while the user is drawing the line. The pallette shows the anchor point, the X and Y offsets, and the line length and angle.

  • Tools palette not visible or accessible

    I have been using the particular installation of Labiew (V 6.0, under Windows XP) for a long time without the following problem.  All of a sudden, one day, the Tools Palette was not visible, and I was not able to get it back.  Tried, of course, clicking "Window >> Show Tools Palette" but this does nothing.  I can still cycle through some of the tools using the keyboard (Tab and space bar).   Tried cold rebooting -- nothing.  Hopefully, I don't have to reinstall. 

    Here's something to try...perhaps the Tools palette location got stored in the LabVIEW INI file with some funky location, such that it is showing up, but not within the visible bounds of the screen.  I'm not sure what the INI entry would be, but it's probably something human readable, like "ToolsPalleteLocation="2000,2000".  If you see an entry like that, delete it and restart LabVIEW.  But if you don't see anything immediately obvious, you could close LabVIEW, delete (or rename) your LabVIEW INI file, relaunch LabVIEW, and see if your Tools palette shows up again.  If so, then it's definitely something fishy in your INI file.
    Also, I seem to recall from my days long long ago in the AE department that there might be a KnowledgeBase entry, or a previous Dev Exchange post, on this issue.  So if my suggestion is no good, try checking those resources.
    Good luck,

  • Missing Tool Palette

    Really feel silly asking but . . .
    Just upgraded to CS 5.5 from CS3. Can't seem to find the tool palette (slection arrows, type tool, etc.)

    Hi Peter;
    When I first installed CS5.5, I set up my Workspace and saved it. Now when I invole it, the tools are still missing.
    I'll try your suggestion in my other post.
    Thanks;

  • Lost tools palette

    The tools palette seems to have gone missing. I've tried de-selecting it then re-slecting it and looking behind the open windows, but i can't seem to see it ...is there a way of setting preferences to how hey were originally?

    I thank you..like magic, it returned!

  • My tools palette has disappeared

    To say I am a novice at InDesign would be to insult most novices.  But I do put out a decent product knowing just what I need to know and bumbling my way through the rest.
    So today I am working and suddenly my tools palette disappears.  I closed the program, waited a bit, and then restarted it.  It is still missing.  I rebooted my maching (Win7).  No tools palette.  I went back to another project hoping I did something on this project that made it disappear and it would show up elsewhere.  Nope.
    I though that maybe it was just missing from my screen so I made the screen smaller (seeing lots of pages) hoping it had slid all the way to the left.  Nope.
    Nothing I do seems to bring it back.  Of course I first went into Windows and there it was checked.  I unchecked it and shut down.  Started up again and it had remained unchecked.  I checked it and my page shifted a bit to the right but still no tolls palette.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Kathie

    I might just have the solution or part of a solution. My work just upgraded to version CS4. When I opened InDesign, I had the same problem where I could not find the tools palette. I opened a file created in an older version which opened without a glitch. What I discovered is when the window for this file opened it "snapped" into a frame that covered over the palette. I kept checking and unchecking the "tools" under the Window menu to no avail until I resized my current document's window and ta-dah! There is was...
    I'm curious, for those using CS4 for the first time, does opening a document hide your tools palette? After I got the palette back, I closed out of the document to check if it will hide the palette again but it didn't. I did re-size the window so it may have "remembered" what size it should be... Anyway, I hope it helps somebody....

  • Remove Hidden Information tool

    Hi,
    I would have a question regarding Acrobat's 'Remove Hidden Information' tool. Under Tools, Protection there is the 'Remove Hidden Information' tool. When I click it the results can be seen on the left side. Under 'Comments and markups' the sum of objects can be seen. I figured out that it detects bookmarks, links (internal, external) and objects described here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e7f.w .html.
    But it also detects some other objects as well which I am not aware of (based on the number of objects detected). I also know that it counts 2 objects when using 'Replace text' from the link above.
    Does anybody happen to know what additional types of objects does this tool detects and how to search for them in the document?
    Thanks for your help,
    Csanad
    I use Acrobat version 10.1.5

    The hidden text is the collection of glyphs on the PDF page that use text rendering mode 3 (no stroke, no fill). 
    Any links placed in association with such hidden text are not "hidden" (that is not how it works with PDF Link annotations - see ISO 32000-1:2008). 
    Any Link annotation placed in a PDF are the same as any other Link annotation (with the exception, of course, of whatever the link's Action happens to be).
    So, no special sauce for links that were placed in association with now removed "hidden text".  
    In context of what you've written it may be that you will have to select - Ctrl+click the Link annotations of interest then tap the Delete key. 
    Be well...
