How do I create a repeating curved pattern? I'm trying to make the grooves in tires.

I'm working on a logo and I'm trying to create the tread marks on a tire. I'm having difficulties because of the tire is round and I don't know how to create a repeating shape with the right spacing and alignment on a circle.
I hope this makes sense, I'm still quite new to everything. Let me know if I can help clarify anything!

Mallory,
An easy way to do it would be to (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) With the Ellipse Tool (ClickHold the Rectangle Tool and see the options fly out) Alt/Option click the centre of the tire path (Smart Guides say center), then set the Width and Height high enough to make it outside the outer rim of the tire path, then remove Fill and Stroke;
2) With the Selection Tool ShiftClick the circle from 1) and then the tread mark, and Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group them;
3) Effect>Distort & Transform>Transform, setting Rotation to 360/N where N is the total number of tread marks, and setting Copies to one less (N - 1);
To get rid of the circles, and to have actual tread marks:
4) Select the Group and Object>Expand Appearance;
5) With the Direct Selection Tool ClickDrag over the circles and press Delete twice.
That will leave you with all the tread marks in a Group.

HOW TO CREATE A REPEATING LOGO PATTERN-BACKGROUND

In Aperture, how can I create a repeating logo pattern/background? I will then use this pattern/background with other editing software (ps6 CC).

What kind of repeating pattern do you want? If you just need to tile an image you could print it to pdf and save the pdf as jpeg to a folder, for example:
Or arrange multiple copies of your image on a Light Table and print the Light Table to pdf as jpg.

Hi Libby,
Select all three columns of data. All three must be 'regular' columns, not Header columns, and the X values must be in the leftmost column.
Click the Charts button and choose the Scatter chart.
The resulting chart will initially show only the first and second columns of data, and the selection will have been reduced to show this.
Click the gear icon at the top left of the selection and choose Share X Values.
You should see a result similar to this:
Notes:
The values on my sample table contain a random element, so they have changed from thhe first image to the second.
The chart is as created by Numbers, with two edits:
Data points have been connected with curves, using the Chart nspector.
The curves were selected and their stroke increased to 2pts, using the stroke formating button in the format bar.

Barry

How do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that,

how do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that, then it needs to "fly-out-bottom" again, I can do that, but not on the same line of text...any ideas...

my question
1- there is any way to assign the Fetch process to specific region so the process take all item in these region only.
2- how can create manual process to fetch row into specific items in page ( i tray these code
SELECT col1, col2, col3 ....
INTO :P1_ITEM1, :P1_ITEM, :P1_ITEM...
FROM table
WHERE id = :P_id ) but no data retrieve .
I do not think that it is possible to have more than one Automated Row Fetch process in a given page. See the thread:
ORA-01403: no data found : Unable to fetch row multiple automated row fetch
On your second question, the manual process should work provided:
P_ID has a value when the process executes. You can do it this way:
i. Make this process as a on-load After/Before header process
ii. Make sure that P_ID page item has value when the process executes (set it from another page or before the pl/sql process executes)

How do I create a print button to print a specific range of the document.

How do I create a print button to print a specific range of the document. I've found JavaScript to print a specific page, but a range or even multiple ranges. Form is created in Adobe 9 Pro. Any help would be truly appreciated!

Sure, I'll give it a test. Its just that I have a 128 page form that not all of it needs to be printed.
Currently, I have an index page where I want to set up a print button queues per form, however there are several form scattered throughout the document that make up a specific section, but it does not require printing the entire document. Does that make sense?
I did find this JavaScript during my reseach, but have not be able to get it to work.
var pp = event.target.getPrintParams() ;
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
pp.printRange=[[1, 1], [3, 4]];
event.target.print(pp);

Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free? Many thanks in advance!

Whether you need to buy Mac OS X 10.7.3 depends on what version of OS X you have now.
If you have OS X 10.6.x or lower it is a paid upgrade from the Mac AppStore.
If you have OS X 10.7.x it is a free upgrade you get using Software Update on your Mac.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

How do you create a PRINTABLE wallpaper pattern?

This may sound really stupid but I have searched the internet thoroughly and can not find an answer to this.
I am fluent in Photoshop and semi fluent in Illustrator. I run CS6 for both.
No what I want to be able to do is create a repeating pattern that can then be printed as wallpaper and pasted to the wall.
As you can imagine there are lots of hurdles to get your head round and I can find any support anywhere.
Traditional wallpaper is 53cm wide by 10metres long per roll.
The wallpaper will have either a 1/4 or 1/2 drop.
I need the pattern to repeat seamlessly top and bottom and left and right because its wallpaper!
I have been experimenting with the pattern tool in illustrator but with no real luck. I can create a pattern that drops by 1/4 or 1/2 but it gets all weird on the vertical repeat so its unusable.
I understand that this question will be for a very select few but I hope to get some help!
Many Thanks
Dan
P.S If you need more info/ examples just drop me a message.

The backmost rectangle in a pattern defines the size and repeat increment of the pattern tile.
This rectangle must be at the bottom of the stack (Cut, Paste Behind) when the tile is drawn.
Here’s a simple example:
The uncoloured rectangle is carefully drawn to co-incide with the desired pattern-repeat.
The actual pattern can then be scaled and/or rotated using the appropriate tools and following the tool dialogue.

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I create a periodic task (T = 30 mins) and still have the interface responsive?

Hi.
I created an application that drives a stepper following a certain rule every few minutes. The problem is I cannot stop the program before it finishes since the respective iteration still needs the delay to timeout.
I used two approaches, namely a "Wait" block and a Timeout included in a case structure. Either way, I had to wait for the time interval to pass in order to press the "Stop" button.
Is there an easy way to fire a periodic task (or alarm)?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Already tried it. I must have set the wrong paramaters because I never got it working. My stepper is suppose to finish doing its thing in max 15 secs. I suspect that I set the wrong interval in the block and mistakenly assumed that the secquence was never executed -> my mistake was that for testing purposes I set the Elapsed Time interval to 10-30 seconds to make the tests faster.
I'll post un update as soon as I'll test my code.
Thanks a lot.

How can FMS create a text file and write data into it in the Server application folders?

Recently, I writed a programe about creating a text file and writing data into it in the server application folder. My code is as following:
           var fileObj = new File("/MyApp/test.txt");
           if( fileObj != null)
                  if(fileObj.open( "text", "append"))
                        fileObj.write( "                                                      ———— Chat Info Backup ————\r\n" );
                        fileObj.close( );
                        trace("Chat info backup document :" + fileObj.name + " has been created successfully!");
But when I run it, FMS throw the error as following: File operation open failed ; TypeError: fileObj has no properties.
Can you help me ? Thanks in advance.
Supplement: The text file named test.txt doesn't exist before create the fileObj, an instance of File Class.

Is MyApp the name of the application directory, or is it a child of the application directory? If myApp is the app name, just use test.txt as the path flag in the file constructor.

I created a Custom list New Form and need to make the text fields read only

When I use SharePoint Designer and add the read only attribute to the SharePoint form field, then it throws a web part error.
but here is the thing, I have current user Filters populating the Form Fields. So the form fields populate First name , last name etc. and I need these fields read-only....
the Client doesn t want the end user to Change those fields. Is there any way to "LOCK" the form fields?
As I have only 7 text fields that need to be locked down. and one field is a signature line that is a true input field.. where the user has to inter their initials.
Any ideas? as I have tried most of the items available thru searches nothing works, or it throws that web part error message.
Steve Athey

Daniel: ( I'm now at work, a different ID is logged on for me)
I used SharePoint Designer.
Steps:
created a web part page
then on the SharePoint Designer ribbon I then went to insert:
new item form
Then I selected my data source (list)
then I placed the 8 columns on the page
a page viewer web part to pull the manual that people have to read.
and 7 current user filter webparts. (1 for each form field) Yes it is over kill, but I'm trying to keep this straight out of box as much as possible...
then for the form fields
I added a parameter and the read only tag see below in bold:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" text="{$ParamEmployID}" id="ff17{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff17',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Employee_x0020_ID')}"
ReadOnly="True" />
I also added the parameters in the ribbon area
the error message doesn't tell me much, it just send me to web part maintenance page...
if I removed the ReadOnly = True then the error goes away..... So I was trying to find a quick simple JQuery and or javascript code item that would make the 7 text fields readonly and leave the
8th text field alone to allow people to place their initials on the page to say that they read the manual.
I have created hundreds of these types of pages .. this is the first time I have run into this issue, but it also the first time I have tried to use the ReadOnly = True item.
Any Ideas and or thought on how to make the items read only? and not throw the error.
Steve
