How to make spin tool default

Someone already posted an answer how to make the spin tool default here http://forums.adobe.com/message/1146944#1146944
but my problem is I have absolutely no idea whatsoever to run a script. I tried a few things but they didn't work. Can someone explain this to me as if you'd be explaining it to your grandma? Heck, just walk me through it step-by-step if possible.
I have a deadline in a few days and I'm creating a 3D PDF from a SketchUp model I created and exported into Acrobat 3D. Basically what I need to do is make Acrobat 3D orbit a lot better. I can't send it to the clients the way it is by default. It's a joke. By default it's actually REALLY BAD. I either need the Rotate button removed(which I don't think is possible) or make the spin button default.
On a side note, the camerarotate.js script Adobe provides is horrible... no pan? Come on! Coming from SketchUp where the orbit works so perfect, Acrobat 3D is painful to use at times.
Thanks guys.

Hello Szarky,
-Create a .txt file containing the following line:
runtime.setCurrentTool( runtime.TOOL_NAME_SPIN );
You can change its extension to .js by renaming it (file extensions got to set visible therefore)
-Double click your 3D Annotation with the advanced editing tool (image below)
-Click on edit content
-Attach the Javascript under default script by browsing the .js or .txt file you created
I hope it helps, Chuck

  • Make spin tool default

    Is there a way to default to the spin tool instead of the rotate tool when you activate a 3D model?

    This is an easy one-liner. You can use one of two methods:
    1) Add a script to your 3D annotation which contains only this
    one line:
    runtime.setCurrentTool( runtime.TOOL_NAME_SPIN );
    2) Add a document javascript which contains only one line:
    setToSpin = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D.runtime.setCurrentTool( runtime.TOOL_NAME_SPIN );
    //(This assumes that your annotation is on page one and it is the
    // only annotation on the page. That's what (0)[0] means.

  • How to make it a default for all received messages to not preview the attachment but instead show the icon? (mac mail.app)

    Hi
    I am having trouble with large incoming mail attachments.
    When I receive a large attachment (pDf) the useful mail preview feature attempts to show a preview of the attachment.  Unfortunately this is causing a lot of trouble as some PDFs are extremely large and therefore take time to open/preview.   If I right click the attachment and select view as icon, the problem with that specific message ceases as the attachment is no longer previewed.
    How can I make it the default for all attachments in received messages to only be shown as a icon and not previewed?

    In Terminal,
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool Yes

  • How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

    I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
    I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
    So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

  • How to make iPhoto the default photo program

    I belong to a photo sharing site where I upload photos. When I click "browse" at the site, iPhoto automatically opens and I can select and upload my photo. A friend with a new Mac does the same thing - clicks "browse," but iPhoto doesn't open.  I think she needs to somehow make iPhoto her default, but I can't figure out how to do that. 

    Do you mean to upload to the site?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How to make PSE12 the default program

    I just installed PSE12 and want it to be the default program to open my jpg files. I know how to set defaults on a PC but the program does not even come up on the list of defaults. I've tried right-click on image and "open with" but no PSE12. If I use Browse and follow the path Program Files (x86)/Adobe/PSE12/PSE Editor.exe, there is no exe file, only the application. If I select PSE Editor, it does not make it the default.

    You can associate the file type to PSE.  For example on my system I have associated Corel program for JPG files (because of 64 bit requirement for me) but you can associate PSE by clicking on Change Program Icon button as shown in this picture (click on it to magnify it):
