How do I select a path?

With the fairly seamless sync to Illustrator, I have been sketching a lot more in Ideas. I have found that when I open the file in Illustrator, each of the lines that I draw are clearly paths, which makes it really easy to select them and erase an entire path. Is there a way to do that in the Ideas app? Often, I will have one errant line that I need to correct, but I will find it after I have done some other work, and don't want to just undo all the way back. Right now I have been using the erase which does not really do the job. Thanks for any help!

When you have your text layer selected you should see something like this:
If you then select the Direct Selection Tool (A) and place your cursor inside the type area you should see something like this:
This will enable you to move the text using the anchor lines.
Then if you select the Type Tool and click on the text you should be able to select it like so:
I hope this helps?

  • How to get the destination path in an photoshop sdk export plugin when using a batch action?

    Hello,
    I've written an exporter plugin (not save-as) that exports a given file to a custom format.
    I was able to open a file selector dialog and choose a path that is then transported to the saving location.
    Now my problem is: Another intended use is batch exporting many files. The user records an action with the export step and then applies a batch on it.
    The PS batch window allows you to select the destination to be a directory where the exporter should write the data. Fine.
    Now how do I get this path? When running in batch mode the silent flag is set for my plugin so I do not spawn a file selector dialog to annoy the user.
    But I am also unable to obtain the path which was selected by the user in the batch window.
    The SDK automation plugin Getter has some code to retrieve the path of the file and even that fails as it cannot obtain anything.
    PropertyUtils.h has some PIGetWorkPathIndex and PIGetPathName functions but I always get 0 when asking PIGetNumberPaths, and get -1 with PIGetWorkPathIndex.
    I would be thankful if somebody could hint me how I can retrieve directories.
    It even seems impossible for me to get the path where the file is actually saved. The filter plugin called Propertizer utilizes a function called PIGetDocumentName but this only outputs the file name, not the full path.
    (Just to be sure: The file on which the tests run is already saved to disk, if that matters)
    Another fun part is: When I record an export step, what is the directory I am exporting into?

    Ok, after lots of reading the sdk sample outbound I've realized that or plugin is broken.
    When recording an action the outbound plugin stores the current path to gAliasHandle which is then recorded as a scripting parameter. Now when I execute the action I get the alias handle.
    However how is this supposed to work with an export plugin and batch processing with a "destination" set to a target? Is this even possible or do I need to double click the export step in the action and "reset" the location even if that causes the entire exporter to run again?

    Hello Archana,
    You can't do what you want because of some HTML security restrictions – nothing to do with APEX. As you found out, You can capture the value of this item. You can't set it. After submitting the page, the browser is the one to clear the item.
    The only workaround is to work with AJAX and not submit the page until the end of the user input phase.

    How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
    I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

    In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

    Hi,

  • Sun ONE Studio 4 aka Forte: How to set the output path for classes ?

    Help !
    Beginner's question:
    Sun ONE Studio 4 aka Forte:
    How to set the output path for classes ?
    As default, the class files are created in the same directory as the
    sources.
    In opposite, both JBuilder and Together support that there is a tree
    with the sources and another tree with the classes.
    The first answer I got was "not possible with Forte, but just if you write your own "ANT Build script" !
    a) Please point me to a ready-to-use ANT script for this purpose, if such is available
    b) Is using ANT instead of the MAKE as comfortable ? Besides the separation of sourcecode and classes, I would like to keep everything else to be the same, i.e. I don�t want to edit the ANT file if I enlarge the project by directories or files.
    Tia
    Sincerely
    Rolf

    You can set S1S's options to place newly created .class files in a specific location.
    Identify the compiler that is being used - Open the S1S's Tools/Options window, expand Editing and select Java Sources. Note the Default Compiler value. (If it's one if the Ant options, you use Ant to specify this option, not S1S.)
    Open the S1S's Tools/Options window, expand Building/Compiler Types and select the appropriate compiler.
    The Properties tab of the compiler has the property Target, which sets the filesystem where the compiler output is directed. If you choose <not set>, the .class files are written to their source directory.
    When you set the Target, your change affects all classes that use this compiler.
    Very few options can't be set in S1S; the challenge is finding out where they're set!

  • How can I flip a path vertically or horizontally?

    Hi all,
    I'm just getting to grips with paths.
    I have created a path, which I want to copy, then flip the copy in the vertical axis, then join it onto the original, yeilding a path that is vertically symmetrical.
    I can create the path OK, and I've figured out how to copy it.
    BUT .... when I go to Edit > Transform Path ... the flip vertical and flip horizontal options are greyed out.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I'm using CS4 Extended v11.0.

    Another way to accomplish what you want is after selecting the path with a path tool and using the transform box (Ctrl + T on Windows), drag the center of the transform box to the center of the left or right side and then in the Options bar under the main menu in the W field, type the - (minus sign) in front of 100% and press Enter until the transformation is applied.
    I don't think there is a way to join two paths into one without using the pen tool (P) to connect them. So before mirroring the paths you may add a point near the end of the joining place so that you can delete a small part of the path by deleting the end points and then join these end points by clicking on each with the pen tool.

  • [AI CS4 Mac] How to create a Compound Path?

    Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to create a compound path in AI CS4 for Mac, but I have not been successful. One would think this would be easy, so maybe I'm missing the obvious solution...
    What is best way to create a compound path using the SDK? I just need to make a compound path out of two non-overlapping rectangles so that I can create a clipping mask. Nothing tricky.
    The SDK is not clear about the best way to go about creating a compound path, but I figured that programmitically selecting the two rectanlges and then using the built in "adobe_makeCompound" action would work, but it doesn't.
    err = sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent("adobe_makeCompound", kDialogNone, NULL);
    When the above code is called while I'm debugging, I get a dialog box that reads: The object "Make Compound Path" is not currently available.
    If I click the "Stop" button while debugging, the value of err is 1346458189 which is 'PARM'. So, maybe I need to set a parameter? The crazy thing is that there appears to be no parameters needed for the "adobe_makeCompound" action event. When I created the action manually, the resulting .aia file (see its contents below) has a parameterCount == 0. I've tried passing a parameter block without adding any parameters to it (instead of NULL), but still no joy.
    /version 2

    Thanks in advance!
    -- Jim

    Actually, here's a more useful variation
    // rectangle1 & rectangle2 are the AIArtHandles for your existing paths
    AIArtHandle compound = 0;
    sArt->NewArt(kCompoundPathArt, kPlaceAbove, rectangle1, &compound);
    sArt->sReorderArt(rectangle1, kPlaceInsideOnTop, compound);
    sArt->sReorderArt(rectangle2, kPlaceInsideOnTop, compound);
    // this will create the compound right next to wherever rectangle1 is, much simpler and more likely what you want

  • How to capture full file path on Adobe Interactive Form using Acro JS

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
    *Start of JavaScript
    var sFile;
    event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
    var oFile;
    oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
    this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
    *End of JavaScript
    1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
    2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
    3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
    I have tried below way also:
    this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
    This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
    Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
    Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!
