How do you "un-unite" objects

In Pages 5.+, you can "unite" objects. This is Apple's pathetic attempt at allowing linked text boxes, among other things. However, there is no way to "un-unite" text boxes. At least, I can't find one--aside from using the undo feature to undo everything back to the point where I united the text boxes in the first place. Anyone help?

Nope that's it.
Why do you persist with Pages 5.5 if that is important to you?

How can you move the objects from one server to another?

how can you move the objects from one server to another?

Hi,
Collecting objects for Transporting
1. rsa1->transport connection
2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
5. after objects collection finished, create request
6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
Releasing Transport Request
Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
Step 2: Click on Import queue button
Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
Step 4: Click on refresh button
Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)
Transport

How do you select an object that is directly under another object?

How do you select an object that is directly under another object?
I was working from a template and I wanted to make a text box the same size as a column box that was put there in order to keep the text in the confines of the paper that is was being printed to.
I could actually put text in each column fine but I wanted it to be in a text box so that I could slightly tilt the test box to compensate for my printer feeding it in slightly wrong. I accomplished this on another template but I could not on this one. If I was working in InDesign or something I know I could just select that layer but I'm at a loss of what to do here. How do I select a column right under a text box? I just thought of something. Once I make the text boxes the same size as the columns I think I can just delete the columns from the inspector. But that would be kind of a work around. I know you can hold down command when nothing is selected from outside the document and then highlight but this is not working. Does anyone have some tips and tricks when it comes to having control over which objects you are selecting when it comes to objects that are overlapped as well as directly over each other.
Thanks.
Tim

I'm not sure it's documented any where, but it's not too difficult. First, ⌘-click outside of the layout area to enter object mode then drag the cursor towards the two objects until you see the handles. Now, again ⌘-click on the top object to deselect it. You can now move the underlying object to the front to edit, delete, etc.
After typing this, it dawned on me, why not just click the top object to select it & move it to the back? I've only done the other way a bazillion times & now I think of this.

How do you remove an object from a picture. Newbie to program CS6

how do you remove an object from a picture. Newbie to program CS6

Well, generally you can use the clone-stamp tool for one, shortcut is S. It basically allows you to take data from any part of the image and copy that over. What I do is draw on a new layer above the one to modify- make sure you select Sample:"This layer and below" in the top toolbar when doing so. Other ways include blending something on top of the object too, using different blending modes. Painting over it works too at times (rarely). It'd be easier if we knew a specific case though...

How do you add an object to a collection typed witha wildcard?

Hi All,
I want to add an object to a collection typed with a wildcard but I can't figure out how to do it.
I've been thru the generics tutorial again and I now understand that I can't do exactly what I want to and why. However I don't know how to do it right. I copy some code below to show the problem:
private List<? extends HasCriteria> dataList;
private HasCriteria dataObject;
public HasCriteria getDataObject() {
        return dataObject;
public List<? extends HasCriteria> getCollection() {
        if(dataList==null){
            refreshDataCollection();
        return dataList;
   }/*I want to be able to do the add() below but the generics tutorial assures me, as does the compiler, that I can't. So how do I get an object into the collection?? */
public void create(){
getCollection().add(getDataObject());
}/*I don't understand why I can do this setCollection() call below as the compiler has no idea that the resultList is of type HasCriteria, however I accept that it is ok with this*/
protected <T extends HasCriteria> void setCollection(Collection<T> m) {
            dataList = new ArrayList<T>(m) ;
            for(HasCriteria t: dataList){
                t.setStatus(HasCriteria.Status.SAVED);
public void refreshDataCollection(String jpaQL, List modelParameters){
            Query q = em.createQuery(jpaQL);
            List rl = q.getResultList();
            if(rl != null){
                setCollection(rl);
                setModelQuery(jpaQL, modelParameters);
}

class GenGen <K extends Shape> {
private List<K> dataList;
private K dataObject;
public K getDataObject() {
    return dataObject;
public List<K> getCollection() {
    if(dataList==null){
      //refreshDataCollection();
    return dataList;
public void create(){
    getCollection().add(getDataObject());
protected void setCollection(Collection<K> m) {
    dataList = new ArrayList<K>(m) ;
    for(Shape t: dataList){
      // t.setStatus(HasCriteria.Status.SAVED);
public void refreshDataCollection(String jpaQL, List modelParameters){
    List rl = null;
    setCollection(rl);
}Note that in that final setCollection, you'll get an unchecked conversion warning, if you haven't turned them off.

How do you unlock an object in Fireworks CS5?

Hi There,
I locked a few objects but now I can't find an unlock command - how do you do this in Fireworks?
Found a menu in the layers palate which did the trick - pretty cryptic though!
Cheers
Ben

First, make sure the objects are not on a master page. If not, you can either click on the little lock icons next to the objects in the layers panel, or open the layers panel menu and select Unlock All.

How do you group connected objects?

Is there a way you can group objects (in my case text boxes) that have been connected? When I try to the "Group" button is greyed out, and if I group them first, I'm unable to connect them (greyed out).

You can't group them, but you can pass them through Preview and get them to one item. To do this, select them all and copy, them open Preview and command-n (or File>New from Clipboard), copy this and paste back into Keynote. Before you do this, make sure your text is how you want it as you can't change it after you do this.

How do you know the object is from another database through db link

I have a table named a2z_people. I searched dba_objects, I found this is a public synonym.
How can I know the real table name in the another database. Where is this table come from? In another words, what's the source database?
Thanks!

In DBA_SYNONYMS, there is a DB_LINK column that names the database link being used (assuming the real object is on a remote database). Is that what you're looking for?

So how do you declare an object?

Okay I have a program I'm trying to build that lets me navigate between menus...
Main Menu starts up:
(Unimportant)
Then it takes me to another Menu.
When this is over I want to go back:
   System.out.println("Select: ");
        System.out.println("1: to Return to the main menu");
        System.out.println("or");
        System.out.println("0 to Exit");
     if(input.nextInt()==1){
         main(); // <-- error here
     else if(input.nextInt()==0){
         System.exit(0);
        }   It doesnt find the main method because I didn't declare it as an object at the top...
How do I do that?
Edited by: tark_theshark on Mar 30, 2008 5:24 AM

Nah, this has nothing to do with declaring an object, and you really don't want to do this. What you really want to do is to have a loop of some kind, say a while loop and have the loop repeat until the user presses "0". Something like so:
    public static void main(String[] args)
        boolean done = false;
        while (!done)
            if(input.nextInt() == 0)
                done = true;

How do you install Spreadsheet object in lookout?

I was wondering if anyone can help me, i am very new to Lookout. I want to use spreadsheet objects in Lookout. I have been given some examples to show how to use it, but i am unsure where these files should be stored. i have stored them in the lookout directory, but nothing happened, do i need to compile the files?
any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Please don't edit the codes in .lks file. Everything is done in Lookout software, not the notepad!
The attached pdf is a good manual to learn some basic programming.
If you want to create a new pot, goto menu bar, Object->Create... select Pot, and then do the configuration.
If you want to add or change the data field of the spreadsheet object, follow the attached instructions. Select (new field), right click on the yellow bar, choose the pot or object you want to log, then click Save.

How do you rotate an object in the Photoshop CC Animation Timeline now that "3D Object Position" no longer exists?

I am attempting to animate the rotation of an object using Photoshop CC Animation. However, unlike in previous versions where there was a "3D Object Position" layer on the Timeline that one would keyframe to change an objects position within the scene; the sublayer "3D Object Position" does not exist in CC. I have attempted to change an objects rotation by keyframing the "Position" sublayer resulting in no change what so ever. I have attempted to change an objects rotation by keyframing the "3D Meshes" sublayer resulting in the object rotating clear off the scene and not following the coordinates that I type in. This is very frustrating since something like this use to be so easy!! How do I animate the rotation of an object using Photoshop CC?!

OpenScript: How do you test for object/text existance programmatically?

Hi, All;
I hope someone can help me; kind of new to OATS. I can’t figure out how to test for object/text existence and return results back to the script. There are methods for verifying text and objects; i.e.
Web.verifyText
Web.assertText
These methods just report pass or fail to the test. I need to get the data back programmatically so I can use it logically. I know you can do this pretty easily in Selenium and QTP so there must be a way in OATS.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
You can use the Object Explorer to find the xpath of the object you are interested and check for its existence, and then grab some attribute of that object for use elsewhere.
if (web.element(6,"/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Software and Services - SCL']/web:document[@index='0']/web:span[@text='Services' or @index='14']")
.exists()){
System.out.println("OBJECT EXISTS");
// get an attribute of object here ,e.g
String myval = web.element(41,"/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Software and Services - SCL']/web:document[@index='0']/web::span[@text='Services' or @index='14'].getAttribute("innerText");
// use myval elsewhere
Hope it helps.

How do you invert an object's position in Edge Animate?

How can the position of an object in a scene define the position of another object in the same scene?
Essentially, if Object A had a position of x=100 y=100, What code would I need to write to make Object B have a position of x=-100 y=-100?
I would like to move Obbject A around freely and have object B always be an exact inverted position. Is this possible? How?
Thanks in advance.

How do you dynamically find objects

I'm creating sprites dynamically on a button event. So for example there is a sprite with a name of "parent_X" where X is a sequential number starting at 1... So in theory I may have parent_1, parent_2, parent_3, and so on depending on how many times you press this button.
Each sprite has a textField child also with a dynamic name, like textChild_1, textChild_2, textChild_3 and so on.
User can remove a parent and child from the stage... what I do is remove the sprite and then delete it ... so if the parent name is loaded into a string called "textParent" I do:
var target:DisplayObject = getChildByName(textParent);
removeChild(target);
delete getChildByName(textParent);
This seems to work. Question 1: by deleting the parent are both objects destroyed? What I mean is that if you simple removeChild(myChild) and later do addChild(myChild) the child is returned to the stage... so if delete the parent and later, I'm assuming the child and parent are gone for good unless they are re-established? Is this correct thinking?
Moving on, what I need to do is determine what parent(s) and child(s) are still accessible in code after some have been removed / deleted.
Not sure if you understand what I mean, but at some point I need to know what "parent_X" and "child_X" items (objects?) exist?
I'm trying something like this:
x = 1;
var target:DisplayObject = new DisplayObject();
while(x <= textAreas) { // textAreas is the counter to assign next parent_X number it is an int
var target:DisplayObject = getChildByName("parent_" + String(x));
removeChild(target);
x++;
This fails, I think if a parent_X was removed (deleted) .. it seems to only remove the first target if more than one were previousy created and then destroyed.
Am I going about this correctly?
Thanks for any help.

1. target isn't destroyed with that code. it still exists and can be re-added to the display list at any time. you should assign target to null when you want to ready target for gc. when target is gc'd the child may or may not be gc'd depending on how it's created. my guess is the child will not be gc'd.
2. use an array to store and track your existing parent objects.

How do you set default object settings

I don't know how this happened but my default setting for object transparency got changed from "normal" to "color burn"
(By selecting: Object - Effects - Transparency - then Color Burn or Normal) How can I switch this back so that the default is always on normal so I don't have to switch it from color burn to normal everytime I create a document?
It took me an hour to figure out why objects were translucent. I kept thinking they were behind other objects and trying to bring them to the front, but they weren't. They were just set on color burn. I switched it back to mormal but everytime I start a new document, it defaults back to colr burn. Its driving me crazy.

By the way, color burn is the default ONLY when I draw cicles. If I draw a box, or any other shape the default is normal and works the way I want it to. Very odd. Just a pain because everytime I draw a circle I gotta go through all these steps to set it back to normal so the colors don't burn through
