How can I unite two vector objects?

How to unite the red and green parts of the leaf into one solid green leaf? See attached “Leaf” file. (How do I attach the AI file?)
I tried the Pathfinder UNITE command and the Live Paint MERGE command.

Hmm, this is so simple, don't see why it's not getting solved. Must be some flukes involved. I'm not sure why Live Paint is being used - is not the goal to end up with just two main green shapes, uniting the red parts of the green shape on the right all together?
Mike, you see how you can easily adjoin two rectangles together drawing a rect on top of another rect and using Pathfinder Panel > Unite, right?
Oy . . . here we go . . .
First of all, verify there aren't unwanted copies of shapes stacked on top of each other, mucking things up. Unlock all layers (if more than one), refer to Layer Panel for this. Go to Object > Unlock All, if not ghosted. If ghosted, good. Proceed . . .
Using the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow), click in the filled area of one shape you actaully want to keep, you mkay have to zoom in to do this. be sure to click squarely in the fill of the shape, not on the path points or segments. With a shape selected, go to Object > Hide >Selection.
Repeat until all shapes you want are gone (hidden).
Go to View > Outlines (at top of View Menu). Do you see anything there? No? Good. But, if you do see anything, drag a box over it with the Direct Selection Tool and press DELETE, twice.
Now go to Object > Show All. Your hidden shapes are back.
Select them all with the Selection Tool (black arrow). Go to Object > Compound Path > Release, if not ghosted. Now go to Object > Ungoup, until it becomes ghosted. If already ghosted, good. Proceed . . .
Everything should be ready to work on now, if it wasn't already. The previous junk is all procedure seasoned Illustrator'ers just do on the fly with hardly a thought. Typical tedium of the vector rodeo.
Anyway - select all green shapes, go to Object > Hide > Selection. Get 'em outa the way for now.
Now zoom in close to a red shape. Select a point on a segment of it's path that it shares with it's adjacent green shape, but not on the outer edge! If there's not one, then add one, using the Add Anchor Point Tool. Drag that point with the Direct Selection Tool into where the adjacent green shape was before hiding it - making them overlap. Do this with both red shapes.
Go to Object > Show All.
Everything should be clean. Those little pesky red slivers are now overlapping their adjacent green shape. Select all shapes and hit Pathfinder Panel > Unite  -OR-  Pathfinder Panel > Merge (recommending Unite for this).

  • Can we link two business objects  in workflow?

    Dear All,
    Can we link two business objects  in workflow?My problem is that I have to take a standard BO for triggering my z workflow .But later  in one step  I am using BO which is Z as I am calling a standard Sap transaction in one of the method inside Zobject.
    Please let me know how to go for it .
    Kind Regards,
    Anshu Kumar

    Hi Anshu,
    You can use the standard BO as the BO for your workflow and trigeger the workflow from its event. To pass values from the standard BO to the custom BO used in the activity step, you need to do proper binding between the std and custom BO in the activity step.
    Do proper binding between event -> workflow -> task container.
    For assistance on binding in workflows refer to the followng links:

  • How can I feather the vector mask (path) of a shape layer in CS6?

    How can I feather the vector mask, i.e. path of a shape layer in CS6?
    The corresponding slider in the properties pallette is alway grayed out and unmovable for me when dealing with shape layers. Is there a trick to it, or ist it really not possible at all? (In CS5 you can feather any vector mask via the mask pallette, although the mask's behavior is most of the times quiet buggy after doing so.)
    Or is there any other way to non-destructably blur a shape in CS6? (I know I can create a smart object and use a blur filter on it, but that's not really what i'm after.)
    Thanks in advance for any help on this.
    Reiz

    Start from the beginning
    - Select the Rectangle Tool - go to Options Bar, ensure 'Shape' options is on from the the Pick a Tool Mode drop down list.
    - Draw Rect. This should create a vector Shape Layer.
    - Select it in the Layers Panel: The Properties Panel then should highlight the Density and Feather options.
    What happens here when you drag the Feather slider? On my end it feathers the vector shape as a whole.
    If you need further masking capabilities, then apply a Layer Mask to the Shape and proceed with the Properties Panel Density/Feather options.

    Why would you want to try to program a doubly-charged carbon ion (C++), anyway? It's just going to find an oxygen ion or aromatic ring to react with, no matter what you do. You're sure not going to steer it towards another cation without going to Fermilab or CERN (Yes, I understand they use LabVIEW there).

    How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

  • How Can i Use two Different Public IP Addresses no my DMZ with ASA Firewall.

    How To Using Two Different Public IP Address on My DMZ with ASA 5520
    Postado por jorge decimo decimo em 28/Jan/2013 5:51:28
    Hi everyone out there.
    can any one please help me regarding this situation that im looking for a solution
    My old range of public ip address are finished, i mean (the 41.x.x.0 range)
    So now i still need to have in my DMZ another two servers that will bring some new services.
    Remember that those two server, will need to be accessable both from inside and from outside users (Internet users) as well.
    So as i said, my old range of public ip address is finished and we asked the ISP to gives some additional public
    ip address to address the need of the two new servers on DMZ. and the ISP gave us the range of 197.216.1.24/29
    So my quation is, on reall time world (on the equipment) how can i Use two different public ip address on the same DMZ
    on Cisco ASA 5520 v8??
    How my configuration should look like?
    I was told about implementing static nat with Sub Interfaces on both Router and ASA interface
    Can someone please do give me a help with a practical config sample please. i can as well be reached at [email protected]
    attached is my network diagram for a better understanding
    I thank every body in advance
    Jorge

    Hi,
    So looking at your picture you have the original public IP address range configured on the OUTSIDE and its used for NAT for different servers behind the ASA firewall.
    Now you have gotten a new public IP address range from the ISP and want to get it into use.
    How do you want to use this IP address range? You want to configure the public IP addresses directly on the servers or NAT them at the ASA and have private IP addresses on the actual servers (like it seems to be for the current server)?
    To get the routing working naturally the only thing needed between your Router and Firewall would be to have a static route for the new public network range pointing towards your ASA OUTSIDE IP address. The routing between your Router and the ISP core could either be handled with Static Routing or Dynamic Routing.
    So you dont really need to change the interface configuration between the Router and ASA at all. You just need a Static route pointing the new public IP address towards the ASA outside IP address.
    Now when the routing is handled between the ISP - ISP/Your Router - Your Firewall, you can then consider how to use those IP addresses.
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECTLY on the HOSTS behind the firewall?This would require you to either configure a new physical interface with the new public IP address range OR create a new subinterface with the new public IP addresses range AND then configure the LAN devices correspondingly to the chosen method on the firewall
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECLTY on the ASA OUTSIDE as NAT IP addresses?This would require for you to only start configuring Static NAT for the new servers between the inside/dmz and outside interface of the ASA. The format would be no different from the previous NAT configuration other than for the different IP addresses ofcourse
    Of the above ways
    The first way is good because the actual hosts will have the public IP addresses. Therefore you wont run into problems with DNS when the LAN users are trying to access the server.
    The second way is the one requiring the least amount of configurations/changes on the ASA. In this case though you might run into problem with DNS (to which I refer above) as the server actually has a private IP address but the public DNS might reply to the LAN hosts with a public IP address and therefore connections from LAN could fail. This is because LAN users cant connect to the servers OUTSIDE NAT IP address (unless you NAT the server to public IP address towards LAN also)
    Hopefully the above was helpfull. Naturally ask more specific questions and I'll answer them. Hopefully I didnt miss something. But please ask more
    I'm currently at Cisco Live! 2013 London so in the "worst case" I might be able to answer on the weekend at earliest.

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
