How do I jumping from an object selected in layers to that object on the artboard?

I'm working with 27 artboard in illustrator for one project. I would like to select the object I need to get to in my layers panel and have illustrator "jump/navigate" me to the object where it resides on the artboard. Is this possible?

This was a feature in Freehand which was a multi-page vector program that allowed you to zoom to the selected objects in the view menu. I don't see this anywhere in Illustrator CS6. You could try this as a feature request but that doesn't help you now. I'm sure there have been more then a few people who have had to make the move from Freehand to Illustrator who requested this feature.

  • How can I jump from Safari window to Safari window?

    Hey all,
    How does one jump from one Safari window to another? While Im at it, also from Tab to Tab?
    On Window to Window in WinXP, I would use Command/Tab. However, in OSX, if I Command/Tab, then I get a different program list other then available, open Safari windows.
    When in a single Safari window and have multiple tabs, to go from Tab to Tab, in Windows, you use Control/Tab. But in OSX, this does not work. I have tried variations to see if I could figure it out, but have been unsuccessful. Many thanks for any help and input.

    Command + ` is a system-wide function to toggle between open windows within any running app. Works for everything.
    In Safari 4 and 5, ShiftCommand (right or left) arrow moves tabs for me. I noticed that in Apple Discussions, should I have a "reply box" open, this copmmand will go to the that tab and stay there, highlighting text. Otherwise the combo wrks fine.

    Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes.  In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

  • How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

    Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
    Thanks.

    an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

  • HT4859 How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

    How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

    If your device backs up to iCloud, and that would happen every day assuming "conditions" are right, then you probably only have the latest backup available for a restore. You won't have one taken October 3 available.
    I say "latest backup available" because, although Apple mentions up to 3 backups are available for restore, most users report having only one when they try performing a restore. Certainly expecting going back 5 days would be outside the limits.

  • Firefox will updage. I get this message: Something is preventing firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version

    I get this error message: Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed. It did not work. Support tells me to click on Firefox at the top. I have no word at the top which says Firefox. I have the Firefox icon.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    When I try to send email from my iPad and iPhone it says that I have the wrong username and/or password, but I know they are correct.  Can someone help me?

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    The screen shows problems with iCloud only choices are ignore or settings, however nothing I do will unlock it from this screen, cannot power off keeps that bubble on the screen. What do I do?

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How to programmatically jump from one topic to another in a compiled CHM file

    Hello,
    I'm working with the trial version of RoboHelp 9.0, trying to evaluate it for my company before we go ahead and purchase it.
    Basically I'm importing a Word document and then exporting it into a .chm file.
    I'm using a programing tool to jump from one topic to another in the compiled CHM file.
    The topic is displayed just fine but the content on the left side stays closed and doesn't open accordingly.
    I'm not sure how to extract from the RoboHelp viewer a topic's HTML address to serve as an input for my programming tool.
    I'll appreciate any idea.

    hi
    say there are two infoobjects X  and Y.
    X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
    go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
    This is one way.
    Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
    Hope this helps.
    Kindly assign the points if it helps.

  • How can I jump from scene to scene without settings being cleared

    I'm making a Jeopardy game. When someone clicks on the button with the dollar amount on it, I have it reset to a different scene on the button so the players know it has been used. When another button is clicked, the first button resets back to its original dollar amount, rather than the blank scene it was reset to.
    I'm not sure I'm wording the question very well, but I would appreciate any help you might have for me.
    Thanks!

    I did that here like this.
    In each button i have this code on my main screen i have this
    on(release) {
         indexscore = 100; (is the point value)
         cellnumber = 1; (i made the instance of each button "Cell" and then a number incrimenting....Cell1, Cell2.....
         gotoAndStop("Questions", 1);
    Once it goes to the Questions scene that is where i click a button that will add the index number to my total points depending on if they clicked the button for team 1 or team 2... then that goes to my Answer scene which shows the right answers.....
    This is the button that goes to the main screen from the answer scene
    on(release) {
         gotoAndStop("Main Screen", 1);
         blankcell = "Cell"+cellnumber;
         setProperty(this.blankcell, _alpha, false);
    i have blankcell declared at the beginning of the game as a global var
    this code works so far but atm as soon as i try to have more than one button disapear it doesnt work, the problem i see is that im telling it to go back to that scene at frame 1, and that has all the buttons appear.....in other words it will make one disapear because its the button right before it but the frame with all the cells will override as soon as i try to get another button to dissapear.

  • Object selection across layers

    How can I select all objects that live in one layer, that are not grouped, that fall exclusively inside of a background object (background object happens to be line-based, foreground objects, including text, are dashed-line elements that are the result of a live trace of a scanned page.
    background
    foreground (scan, live trace so all objects are isolated)
    mashed together (I want the dashed objects to be deleted, and they are all grayish and black objects if that helps while all objects I want to keep will not be black; ignore the black sharpie and character on the screen for that reason)
    specific effect (needs to just be the blank stroke, the text and stray lines that pass through the stroked background):
    path annotations
    the text
    So everything exclusively inside of the black strokes and the black text (which is on one layer and is boilerplate ie can be modified as a template) needs gone. The "same" selection options are too precise for the various objects, so I figure the best route is to isolate objects of a certain maximum size that are exclusively inside of the stroke region and are not out of it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks Mike. You're right. Let me try again. I have a scanned page that is a layer. The objects from the scan I want to be deleted are objects that are just a dashed stroke version of the background solid stroke. They were part of the printed product as reference for someone to draw on aware of content that would be added later and also be easy to remove as post for live trace. I will be using whatever method will work through Javascript, so I won't be able to have subjective interactions like using the Lasso tool.
    The fill colors vary and are not responding to the 'same' selection options...like not at all, which is a first for me, but I don't deal with scans much. I do have to keep non-black/non-gray colors perfectly, though. So I was hoping there is a way to use color palette ranges to isolate the objects I don't want, on the layer, and delete them. I'm going to try to mess with the copier's settings, too. Maybe isolating black at the scan to get it more rich and more uniform for Illustrator's existing tools.
    Figured I would have to write something myself, but curious if there is already a content-aware selection script that does this.
