How to create multiple expanding outlines with all points equal distance to original shape?

Here's an extremely simple example.. It works with a circle or a square, obviously because it has the same height and width. The problem is when you have irregular shapes, (or in this case, an oval). I know I've seen solutions to this in the past, but I just can't think of how to word this question and find them again.
I know you can create multiple strokes for an object in the appearance palette, but I'm looking for something more effective than just having colored stroke > white stroke > colored stroke> white stroke > etc.
Here's a couple examples of the kind of effect I'm looking for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to use Offset path. Object>Path>Offset path. Use negative numbers to go inside of an existing shape, positive to go outside.

  • How to Create Multiple Sources/Classes with one Script

    I am trying to get all of my java sources, or classes, into one script so that I can move them all to another server without having to compile each file individually. When I concatenate two files and try to compile I get an ORA-29536: badly formed source error.
    How can I get multiple definitions into one file and compile all of the classes?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Gregory:
    If you want to upload several Java classes in one script the solution is .sql file, for example:
    set define ?
    create or replace and compile java source named "my.Sleep" as
    package my;
    import java.lang.Thread;
    public class Sleep {
    public static void main(String []args) throws java.lang.InterruptedException {
    if (args != null && args.length>0) {
    int s = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    Thread.sleep(s*1000);
    } else
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    create or replace and compile java source named "my.App" as
    package my;
    public class App {
    public static void main(String []args) throws java.lang.InterruptedException {
    System.out.println(args[0]);
    exit
    Then the .sql file can be parsed using the SQLPlus, JDeveloper or SQLDeveloper tools.

  • How to create a target group with all prospects?

    Hi guys,
    I am wondering how do I have to set up my data source when I would like to build a target group in my segment builder which includes all persons/contacts/organizations with the bp role prospect?
    Which infoset do I need to choose in my data source? What do I need to fill under details?
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Best regards,
    Janine

    Hi Janine,
    What I could understand is that you require to create target group of all BPs having BP role as prospects.
    To do so, you can create an infoset joning tables BUT000 and BUT100. The table BUT100 , has a field "BP Role"->select it, so that it is available when you are creating the attribute list using this infoset.
    Create a data soucre for this infoset. Then when creating a attribute list, include this datasource and under this select the attribute "BP Role". Add filter to this attribute for prospects.
    This filter can be used in segmentation builder in UI to create TG containing BPs having BP role as prospect.
    Hopes this helps you.
    Thanks,

  • How to create multiple DTP REQUESTs with expert routine  ?

    Anyone know if it's posible to create new dtp request's manually from an expert routine, i want to write manually to 2 different ODS in the same expert routine the first is for success records and the second is for rejected records, the problem is that the routine only writes a new request for the succeed record and the rejected records are writed with abap to the other ODS manually without request ID

    hi,
    Just create a direct update DSO for collecting the rejected records.
    Use the function module RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY for populating this DSo from the transformation ABAP coding.
    The direct update DSO will be having the rejected records after execution of the DTP and the correct records will be processed to the target DSO (correct records)

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

  • How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

    1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
    When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed  in the stat plan  ?
    2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of  understanding of Extended stats ?

    You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed.  An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
    To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL'  in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics"  in the SQL being executed.
    Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.

    Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.
    when you copy n paste into a new table, all the cell sizes are changed.
    is there a way to put in a new table from your templates into an existing file, different to the standard very basic ones in insert table.
    I look forward to your answers.  Your help is very much appreciated.
    Also how do you search for question answers already written in this support area please.

    Hi Jason,
    In Numbers 3, you can select a whole table by clicking once in the table to make it active, then click once on the "bull's eye" at the top left.
    Now copy and paste. All formatting (and any cell content) is pasted intact. In Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it is a little different for selecting a whole table. But I won't go into that unless you are using Numbers '09. Please reply.
    I don't like the look of the tables in Insert Table. I keep custom tables in My Templates. I have set Numbers > Preferences > General > For New Documents > Use template: (name of my favourite custom template)
    That opens when I launch Numbers, or ask for a new document (command n). Note that if you follow this preference setting, then Menu > File > New From Template Chooser (for another template) requires you to hold down the option key in that menu.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • How to create multiple segments on the target structure of an IDOC

    Hi All
       I am working on the Shipment Confirmation Interface( Message Type SHPCON ) which is FILE to IDOC Scenario. I have a segment called E1EDL18 which occurs only once on the target side of the idoc. Now I have to created multiple E1EDl18 segments for the Qualifiers ORI, PGI and PCK. I treid to send a constant ORI,PGI,PCK and then used an user defined function which splits the constant at COMMA and then I am assigning to the target field QUALF. In the display queue for QUALF I see three values with context but still only one E1EDL!* segment is created. Please let me know how to create multiple E1EDl18 segments for three qualifiers.
    Thanks
    Naga

    In message Mapping, just right click on the segment and click on duplicate subtree. now it will create you another segment with same name and fields in it..
    you can hard code the Qual, or you can map the required source field into it.

  • How to create dynamic connection string with variables using ssis.

    Hello,
    Can anyone let me know on how to create dynamic connection string with variables using ssis?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi vinay9738,
    According to your description, you want to connect multiple database from multiple servers using dynamic connection.
    If in this case, we can create a Table in our local database (whatever DB we want) and load all the connection strings.  We can use Execute SQL Task to query all the connection strings and store the result-set in a variable of object type in SSIS package.
    Then use ForEach Loop container to shred the content of the object variable and iterate through each of the connection strings. And then Place an Execute SQL task inside ForEach Loop container with the SQL statements we have to run in all the DB instances. 
    For more details, please refer to the following blog:
    http://sql-developers.blogspot.kr/2010/07/dynamic-database-connection-using-ssis.html
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

  • How to create multiple physical channels using DAQmx?

    Hi, I am new to Labview.
    Can anyone please help me on how to create multiple physical channels? I am following the LabVIEW examples in the NI example finder but they are only for acquiring signals from one channel.
    Actually, I am using the channels of an SCXI 1520 to measure voltage signals. And one more thing, in the NI Example Finder, they are sample codes there for setting the filter in SCXI 114x.
    Will this example work with an SCXI 1520, too?
    Thanks!

    There are many ways to read multiple channels in LabVIEW. First, if you look at that example that lets you set the filter setting on the 114x and you click on the 'Physical Channel Listbox' then click 'Browse' you can see that you can select multiple channels. After you select the channels and hit 'Ok' it will build a multiple channel string. This is one way to read multiple channels.
    Next, you can create a 'Task' in Measurement and Automation Explorer(MAX). When you create this task select all the channels that you need to read then back in LabVIEW simply select a 'DAQmx Task Name Constant' Select the task you just created and wire that to an Input of your first DAQ VI. If you do this you do not need to have a 'DAQmx Create Physical Channel' VI or create
    Task because it is already created in MAX.
    When looking at example VIs you can tell if a multi-channel read is acceptable by looking at the 'DAQmx Read' and if it says NChan that means it will do a multichannel read. There are tons of example programs that will display the multichannel read capabilities.
    This example may not work for the 1520 because the properties that are set could possibly be specific to the 142x. When using the 1520 though it is very likely that the properties will be very similar if not exact. You will simply put a DAQmx Channel property node on your block diagram and then look for the Lowpass filter settings properties that will most likely be in the same location. Now another way todo this without using a property node would be in MAX when you create a task set the filter settings from the Device tab in the task configure window.
    Let me know if you need anymore help with reguards to this issue! Have a great day!
