How can I reset the anchor point to its default?

One of the other guy using my machine screwed up the default anchor point position for text layers & for the life of us, we can't figure out how to reset it back to its default (centered on the text layer).
Right now, it appears a the bottom of the text layer (bottom left if left justified, bottom right if the text is right justified & bottom center if cerer justified).
Just to be clear, when typing out a brand new text layer, the anchor point does not appear in the center of the layer, as it normally does. Hitting "reset" in the tranform controls always moves the AP back to this position (ie, if I use the pan-behind tool to put the AP where it needs to be, then hit "reset", the AP moves back to the lower left corner of the layer)
I'm sure it's got to be some keystroke combination of some kind...
Anyway, does anyone know how to set it back to its default? It's a pretty big pain to have to manually set the anchor point for every text layer, and I kinda want to leave the "delete-your-prefs" option as a last resort...
thanks

As Rick said - there is no way in hell the text ever could have been perfectly centered to begin with. the behavior you are seeing is perfectly normal. Whenever you change the text, the anchor point will respond in kind. Only fixed size text blocks will reverse that principle and fit the content to the bounding box, leaving the anchor point unchanged.

  • How can I move the Anchor points of multiple layers to the same position within comp?

    I have a comp of a butterfly that I want to copy the keyframes to many other butterfly comps, but to get the animation to work, I need all the anchorpoints of the individual layers to be at the exact same location within the comp (So the left wing, right wing, and body anchor points are right on top of each other)
    How can I accomplish this quickly? I have a lt of comps to do...
    Thanks all!

    I would have set this up in Illustrator Before you started. Start with a rectangle that has either fill or stroke on a layer but the opacity is set to 0. The center of the rectangle will be the anchor point for that layer when you import as a comp maintaining layer size. Now create your left left side contents on the left side of the rectangle and repeat for the right side. Import as a comp and you'll be golden.
    Here is a sample file and what the file looks like imported as a comp. Notice the x values of all anchor points are identical.
    The artwork isn't great, it was created in less than a minute but it porves the workflow.

  • Cs6 , how can i add a anchor point in the curve in the channel Red or Green?

    Hi
    how can i add an anchor point in the curve in the Channel R / G and B?
    in cs5 , with ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor point in the curve channel RGB
    and with shift +ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor poing in the channel Red , 1 in the channel Green  and 1 in the channel blue
    i know cs6 doesn't have any more ctrl+mouse click , there is the targeted adjustamanent tool
    i can do it with ctrl+m and call the curve
    but i can't do it with curve adjustament tool
    is there a way to add a anchor point in each channel red , green and blue (like the prev photoshop)?
    thanks

    How can I reset the number authorized Macs in my account? Two old Macs that I no longer have are still authorized, which leaves me with three working macs at home.

    Hello Joe
    You will find your answer on this page. In summary you have to deauthorize each of the 2 Macs on the Mac thenself. If it's no longer possible, then you have to deauthorize all five Macs and then reauthorize each 3 remaining

  • How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

    How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
    I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
    I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
    ... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

    Press CTRL + 0
    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

    My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes.  How can I reset the color resolution?  This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost".  The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover.  ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there!  Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone.  But, the  screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution.  Can any one share a suggestion?

    With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
    The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
    You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.

  • How can I reset the value of an array?

    How can I reset the value of an array at the beginning of my program?

    There is a option in LV,
    "Edit --> Make current value defult"
    Every time you reopen your VI, it will set to your custom default value.
    There are many ways of doing this.
    Another way of doing this is, You can use "sequence structure and property node". Make the property node of your array and choose "value". Then mark it to write. See attach.

  • I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the defaul for opening a project?

    I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the default for opening a project?

    scottypet
    For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
    For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
    on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
    To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
    Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
    Thank you.
