How do I make a non-closed figure out of lines (continuous, because corners need to line up) of a certain thickness, and then cut it out?

Hi guys
Could you help me with this problem? I suspect it's very simple but I'm a beginner.
I need to create a continuous shape out of lines 15 pixels thick, and then cut it out. I've tried the line tool, using the shift key to add to endpoints, but then the corners do not end up exactly. I've also tried the path key on the pen tool, but this always closes the shape for me, which is not what I want. The shape IS the line.
I've attached a picture of a basic sketch of the shape I'd like to produce. Can any of you give me any advice? Thank you.

Draw a baseline guide to snap the pen tool to where you want the lines to line up If you're using CS6 or later, use the stroke so you can edit the line.

  • How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers

    How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers in Numbers.
    I have a long list of 8760 numbers of which I need to take the sum (and store in a column) of each 24 numbers.

    Here's one way. I've reduced the example, taking groups of five numbers from a set of 20. I've used 3 as the data number in all cases to make the sum easily recognizable.
    Original column of numbers in Data::column A.
    Data::B2 (and filled down): =QUOTIENT(ROW()+3,5)
    This adds 3 to the row number, then divides by 5, returning the quotient and ignoring the remainder.
    The result is a 'group number' for each group of five rows.
    Sums of each group are reported in the Sums table.
    Sums::A2 (and filled down): =ROW()-1
    Sums::B2 (anf filled down): =SUMIF(Data::$B,A2,Data::$A)
    For your example, assuming the 8760 numbers are listed in column A of a table named Data, starting at cell A2:
    Add a second column to the table (column B).
    In B2 enter the QUOTIENT formula above, with these two revisions:
    =QUOTIENT(ROW()+22,24)
    Fill down to all cells in the column.
    Provided you have named the first table "Data", both formulas in the Sums table will be as written above. You will need to extend the Sums table to 366 rows (including the Header row) to accommodate all 365 groups of 24.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: For details on the functions used, see the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. You can download the guide via the Help menu in Numbers '09.

  • How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

    I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

    There is another point:
    if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
    1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
    2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

    How can I deauthorize a non-existant system. My hard drive died so I bought a new one, reinstalled the OS and iTunes but iTunes seems to think this is a new computer.

    Try deauthorizing the computer even if you haven't authorized it. If you've already authorized it, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it again.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Adobe has made this process much simpler in recent years.
    No need to re-install any version earlier than the current version (CS6). All installers (upgrade or full) contain the full program code. The difference between full and upgrade is in the serial number.
    All you need do is download (link below) and install CS6, enter the CS6 upgrade serial number then enter the CS5 serial number (even if that too is an upgrade).

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • Safari quits by itself, no crash reports show up. How do I make it STOP closing/quitting itself?

    Whenever I either close the last Safari window, or leave a few minimized (but not quitting Safari) or play a video in VLC (i.e) Safari seems to have quit itself entirely! I don't get any crash reports or notices about what might have occured, nor any error messages. It is very random, sometimes it just quits when I close the last open window, other times it will close even though I have several windows open, but it mostly seems to be happening when I play videos in fullscreen, and when i exit fullscreen mode Safari has quit itself along with closing all my windows. I've been through the preferences to see if it's been set to behave this way, but I find nothing.
    I would really appreciate any help on this, as it is driving me crazy having to start up Safari every time I watch an episode or movie or do anything in fullscreen mode (which, is a pain considering how ridiculously slow it is, with pages not loading, or only half-loading or just seeing that god-awful rainbow-wheel for minutes at a time, and if anybody knows how to solve that last part too, please shout it out!). It even quits itself if I've simply just closed my MBP (not shutting it off), and then when I open it again (whether it is 10 minutes later or 5 hours later) Safari has quit and needs to be restarted/reopened.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
