"horizontal/vertical align center" relative to one object, not the average

Hello!
I see in Illustrator, if i select 2 objects and i choose to align them relative to their centers, both objects will move to the middle point of the distance between their original positions.
Is there a way to make just one of them move?
Am i able to center one object to another object that is already in its final position?
thanks a lot!

i tried it, but it doesn't work. here's what i did:
-selected one object
-shift-selected the other one
-clicked horizontal align center
both objects moved
(i am using CS3)

How to set default for "Horizontal / Vertical Alignment"?

Hi,
is there somewhere a setting to change the default of the "Horizontal / Vertical Alignment" property for an item label? I don't like the "Right" alignment and I have to change it each time when I create a new item.
Thanks

Yes, this is one of (many) cases where a Bulk edit feature in the Builder would be very useful. There have been some discussions about this and hopefully the APEX team is considering these for the next release.
Having said that, I frequently find myself taking a full app export and editing the SQL file in my favorite text editor (Vim) and making these little changes.
This is NOT to be done lightly, see the caveats and disclaimers at Re: htmldb application Disabled(on updation of FLOWS_020000.WWV_FLOW_STEP_I
As always, take a backup of the file before modifying it and save it so you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.

"Vertical Align Center" Text and a Shape

Hi designers,
I wonder if anyone could give me a hand with aligning text and shapes? I would like to align a number to the center of a circle. "Horizontal Align Center" works well. "Vertical Align Center", however, does not yield the desired result. The number turns out to be higher in the cycle (see figure below). The distance from the top of the circle to the top of the number zero, X, is shorter than the distance between the bottom of the circle and the bottom of the number zero. Is it possible to equal these two distances?

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you very much for you very prompt reply, which solves the problem very effectively.
If you do not mind, I have got two further questions.
Firstly, is there an option similar to "Align to Path: Centre" under "Type on a Path Options" that changes how text is aligned?
Secondly, does InDesign offer the aforementioned function?
I sometimes label a large quantity of locations with alphanumeric characters, which are subject to frequent changes, and therefore would like to preserve the text if possible. I have heard that manipulating text is InDesign's area of expertise. If this function is not available in Illustrator but offered by InDesign, I can jot down another reason for acquiring the latter and split the workflow in the future.
Thanks,
Haobo

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

Hi Roger,
Welcome to the Apple Dicsussion Pages.
The Alcatel Speedtouch 585 proabably has version 5 firmware on there. I see form your post you know what the problem is.
This can be the problem.
Earlier modes in the 500 series had Firmware versions 3 and 4 which meant you could telnet into them form the Terminal Application and Unbind SIP from port 5060.
This is what is causing the problem.
The symptoms are a starnge pattern of succss and failure.
A small group you can contact all the time
An equally small group of now and then success
And a large group of Buddies that you can never get AV chats with.
ibosie who posts here says he has been in caontact with Alcatel and that they are working on a Firmware update to get round this.
At this stage another modem would be the way to go. (the 510 and the 580 can be Unbound)

Two email accounts, one password for both. will check one but not the other. Have had no problems before

I have 2 email accounts for 2 people. TB will download mail for one but not the other. It can't authenticate the password. Passwords are both the same. Worked fine until today.

The amount of information makes it somewhat hard to give a specific answer. I could only recommend:
* Can you log into the account using the webmail service from your provider?
* Have you verified the settings for the account to be correct (protocol, port number, password encoding)?
The following page gives you a good start with resolving this issue:

I have 2 iPod touchs and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I get it to sync music on both

I have 2 older iPod touches and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I sync music on both?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

HT5622 How do I set icloud on 2 ipads.It recognises one,but not the other one?

How do I set up icloud on 2 ipads? It recognises one but not the other one.

Hi Leora Beisly,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Before setting up iCloud on your devices, I recommend updating to the latest iOS software version. This will ensure that you can use all of the iCloud features on your devices. See this article for information on updating your iPads:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
Next, see this page for iCloud setup instructions:
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2609
Before you can use iCloud on each of your devices, you need to sign in to iCloud using your existing Apple ID or a new one, then turn on the iCloud features you want to use.
You may have set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac when you first used it. To make sure it’s set up correctly, or to set up your iCloud account on another iOS device, computer, or Apple TV, go to the set up iCloud website listed below.
Important: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I accidentally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one?

entally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one? And I'm receiving e's just from the new one.

Move the "e's" (email messages?) to the old account first. You can drag and drop.
To remove an account in Thunderbird:
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|<select the unwanted account>|'''
Down at the bottom of the left-hand pane, '''Account Actions''' then '''Remove Account'''.
Are both accounts using POP? That could explain why new messages appear in the new account but not the old.
It could help to post your Thunderbird settings data: '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''. Clear the "Include account names" checkbox. Click on "Copy text to clipboard", then paste (ctrl+v) into your next posting here.

If I choose any i-works draft, I only can get one page not the complete draft

Mousing shows all the available pre-formatted page available in each template to give you an idea what is there, but you only get one, sometimes 2, when you create a new document. All of the other pages can be accessed via the Insert menu. Insert > Sections in word processing & Insert > Pages in page layout.
If they all loaded when you opened a template, you'd have to go through & delete the ones you don't want & duplicate the ones you want more than one of.

Why does Vertical Align Center align objects along the horizontal?

And why does Horizontal Align Center align objects along the vertical?
-g-
P.S. Please please please make the Eydropper tool available by function key so I can toggle to it while using the Text tool. Please!

g,
but when I select two objects and click the vertical align button they snap to an invisible horizontal line
This is (almost) identical to:
Because (the centres of) vertically aligned objects will be on the same horizontal level/line.
And that is just one way of expressing what vertical alignment means. Here are a few others:
Their centres have the same height,
Their centres have the same Y value on the Artboard/Workspace,
In all cases, you can draw a horizontal line through their centres.
Mathematically, Y = C (Y is a constant value C) is the equation for a horizontal line.

Exact & Precise Horizontal & Vertical alignment of Radio Buttons

How can I align RADIO BUTTONS used in a LIKERT SCALE both horizontally (i.e. EXACTLY on the SAME ROW) and vertically (i.e. for each row EXACTLY COLUMN UNDER each other). Using the grid is most clumsy and my buttons appear "wobbly" both horizontally and vertically. The SHIFT and CTRL keys do not seem to help much. SHIFT is horizontally and vertically too coarse (even though the grid has been defined to be very fine) and the CTRL just deforms the button. I need to be able to "nudge" the buttons as can be done in MS/WORD - Mike van der Linde

There are a number of options. One is to set up guides, and fields will snap to them when one of the field borders is brought near. To add a guide, show the rulers (Ctrl+R) and click/drag one from either the horizontal or vertical ruler.
You can also select multiple fields, right-click on one of them, and select the option to align left, bottom, etc. The field that you right-click will be the model or anchor for the others. Other right-click option allow you to set multiple selected fields to the same size (height, width, both) and distribute them horizontally or vertically to they are evenly spaced.
