How to scale an object? CS4

When I use the scaling tool, it doesn't scale proportionately (relatively). The object gets wider or longer, etc.
When I hold down the shift key to do it, that doesn't help at all. What's the secret of scaling an object proportionately?
Thanks, ?

Uh. The secret for proportionally scaling is holding down the shift key. How does it not work for you?
I only now noticed the usual "constraining" with the shift key is a bit wonky if you use the Scale tool (it seems to snap to the usual Width, 45 Degrees, Height combo that also works for other tools). But that's because I've never ever ever used the Scale tool before. It's not necessary to use this tool, you can scale all you want with the black arrow.
A propos, while experimenting with modifier keys down (I was pretty sure there use to be a "Scale from center" combo), I found something unexpected. I loath the automatic Smart Guide snapping, and I always switch it off because it tends to interfere with about anything else but the object I wanted to snap to. Now I know there is a hot key combo to toggle them on and off, but ... if you hold down Control while moving your objects around, you get temporary Smart Guides. Sweet!

How To Scale the Rulers and Object Dimensions

Hello. I've been using Corel Xara for a long time - like, since '98 - and recently started using Illustrator CS3.
In Xara, one can set the scale for rulers and objects. For example, I can set up the rulers for inches and then define a scale of, say, 1-in equals 300-ft. Once done, the ruler no longer displays inches; it displays the scale feet. And, when entering dimensions for objects or grid locations, I can use, for example, 650-ft and it will understand that I mean 2.1667-in.
Is there any way to do the same sort of thing in Illustrator? I saw how to change the rulers to inches, millimeters, points, etc., but I have been unable to find how to scale the ruler to X:Y.
Any info?
Thanx!

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: To change the ruler measurments to a different predetermined system, simly control-click (Mac) or right-click (PC) on the rulers themselves. You can not set the application to auto-scale dimension like you describe. You can use math functions in dialog boxes though. So you could enter 600'*.125 for 600 ft times 1/8

How to scale objects evenly (one inside the other)

We are doing a gun caddie right now that has the shape of a motorcycle seat when it is unfolded. We are currently stumped on how to scale these shapes properly. Basically we have one shape of the caddie and then copy that and shrink it from the center to form another shape inside the original shape. The trouble we have is that when we scale the second shape down, it doesn't scale evenly and some sides are have bigger gaps than others. How do we avoid this? we have tried everything we can think of and looked at a bunch of tutorials but they all scale squares or rectangles not weird shapes like we do. Does anyone know an answer to this? I feel like it's something simple I'm not doing. Please Help. Thanks

Start off with a single object. Offset Path with a positive number makes it “bigger”, with a negative number “smaller”.
Scaling is definitely not the way to go.

Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use.

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

Hmm, possible solution would be to select your object(s), scale them to 90%, and then hit Cmd+D or Control+D to repeat the transformation. I read that sometimes if you scale down too much and too fast it can cause this message.
Hope this works for you!

Hello GopalY,
In my experience its not possible to call OLE object in Webui. Maybe customer 3 party application will be supply some web service to handle credit card payments. I think this is the simple way to access 3party application.

Why doesn't LabView scale my objects properly in the front panel?

In LabView 6.02 (Windows 2000) I have experienced problems when using the "Scale all objects on panel as the window resizes" option under VI properties. Try the following example: Go to the front panel and draw two arrows (from Decorations), one vertical and one horizontal (make sure they are perfectly straight). Now, resize the window, using the bottom right corner several times. You will soon find that the two arrows become increasingly missaligned and are not perpendicular to each other anymore. The problem gets worse the more you play around with the window size and they will never return to their original state. Installing the 6.02 patch did not seem to help at all.

Dear Gustav,
First of all, some objects do not scale whatsoever in LabVIEW. These include refnum controls and text.
As far as the "scale all objects on the front panel as the window resizes" option goes, you have brought attention to an issue that I will announce to the R&D team. Currently, when you resize the screen, the objects on the front panel are resized at the same fraction of the original size, yet small rounding errors occur. As you move the window around, this small rounding error multiplies accordingly. Once you maximize the window, the small rounding error is translated into a large-scale degree change in the orientation of the (previously) perpendicular arrows.
What action are you trying to perform that caused this issue? If possible,
please post some screen shots of your front panel or give me explicit details as to your programmatic goal.
One thing that you may try in order to prevent this misalignment and orientation shift is to highlight the arrows. Then, click the "Reorder" button on the toolbar and select [lock]. This will lock the objects and prevent them from resizing while the rest of the screen resizes (see attached image).
Again, I'm sorry if the aforementioned phenomenon causes you any inconveniences, and I will be sure to announce this issue so that preventive changes are implemented in future LabVIEW revisions.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Have a great day!
Kind Regards,

Hi,how can i transport objects from one server to other like (Dev To Qty)

Hi Sir/madam,
Can u explain how can i transport objects from one server to other like (Development To Quality To Production).
Regards,
Vishali.

Hi Vishali,
Step 1: Collect all Transports(with Packages) in Transports Tab(RSA1)- CTO
Step 2: Release the subrequests first and then the main request by pressing Truck button
Step 3: STMS or Customized transactions
Object Collection In Transports:
The respective Transports should have the following objects:
1. Base Objects -
a. Info Area
b. Info object catalogs
c. Info Objects
2. Info Providers u2013
a. Info Cubes
b. Multi Providers
c. Info Sets
d. Data Store Objects
e. Info Cube Aggregates
3. Transfer Rules u2013
a. Application Components
b. Communication Structure
c. Data Source replica
d. Info Packages
e. Transfer Rules
f. Transformations
g. Info Source Transaction data
h. Transfer Structure
i. Data sources (Active version)
j. Routines & BW Formulas used in the Transfer routines
k. Extract Structures
l. (Note) If the transfer structures and related objects are being transferred without preceding
Base Objects transport (e.g. while fixing an error) it is safer to transport the related Info
Objects as well.
4. Update Rules u2013
a. Update rules
b. Routines and formulas used in Update rules
c. DTPs
5. Process Chains u2013
a. Process Chains
b. Process Chain Starter
c. Process Variants

How to delete all objects in a package?

Hello,
I've seen a similar question here. But is there a tool or a smart way to delete all objects in a dev class or a transport request?
Best Regards
Volker

These are really 3 questions??
1. To delete objects in a request there are a number of ways, here is one:
Position cursor on modifiable request.
Double click on request and choose 'Objects' tab
Choose object line you want to delete and click 'Delete'
Save your changes.
2. To delete objects in a Dev Class:
Go to work bench --> edit object, Class and give your class name, you will see delete option at the bottom of the screen.
3. How to delete all objects in a package:
here is a link with the steps you need for this: http://benxbrain.com/en/index.do?onInputProcessing(brai_object_thread)&001_threadid=0000161442&sysid=WP5&pgmid=R3TR&object=DOMA&obj_name=DEVCLASS&child_param=

How To Insert A object into Conext

Hi Techies,
I have 8 tables in my designer
and I have two contexts at designer level
And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..
Thanks in Advance..

Double-click the Objects and click the TABLES button and select the table you want to associate the object to for the context to work properly (see below).

Ajay

How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

hello everyone;
maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

What have they gone and messed up now?
When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

Is there a way to scale multiple objects at once?

I'm trying to select and scale three objects (imported PSD files) at the same time. It seems like it will only scale one at a time (i.e., two of the selected objects do not scale, while the other does). Is there something I'm overlooking, or is Captivate just really deficient in this area?
Alternatively, is there anywhere you can enter a scale percentage manually? I want all of the scaled objects to remain the same size in proportion to one another.

I have three objects (see below) and I want to scale them all at the same time (so they scale proportionally). Something like this is easy in Illustrator or any Microsoft product.
I did find a fix though - apparently if I group them first, I can scale the group, and ungroup the objects after the scale operation. It's not the most elegant solution, but it will do.

How to cast an Object into a specific type (Integer/String) at runtime

Problem:
How to cast an Object into a specific type (Integer/String) at runtime, where type is not known at compile time.
Example:
public class TestCode {
     public static Object func1()
Integer i = new Integer(10); //or String str = new String("abc");
Object temp= i; //or Object temp= str;
return temp;
     public static void func2(Integer param1)
          //Performing some stuff
     public static void main(String args[])
     Object obj = func1();
//cast obj into Integer at run time
     func2(Integer);
Description:
In example, func1() will be called first which will return an object. Returned object refer to an Integer object or an String object. Now at run time, I want to cast this object to the class its referring to (Integer or String).
For e.g., if returned object is referring to Integer then cast that object into Integer and call func2() by passing Integer object.

There is only one way to have an object of an unknown type at compile time. That is to create the object's class at runtime using a classloader. Typically a URLClassloader.
Look into
Class.ForName(String)

How to set a object value bound to a session to JavaScript variable

In a JSP, I store an object value in a HttpSession and I also write a Javascript function to display something on the screen. I need to use the Javascript function to display the object value which is stored in the session. How to set the object value to variable of the JavaScript function. Thanks.

I write a class JavaScriptHelper to convert the object value to variable of the JavaScript;
1.get the data to a javabean from database;
2.convert the data to variable of the JavaScript as a String ;
3.store the object in a HttpSession or Httprequest ;
4.use in Jsp get the String (variable of the JavaScript )
YourBean bean = (YourBean) request.getAttribute("model");
if (bean != null) out.println(bean .getJsCode())
convert function,(this is only for the matrix):
public static String formatJsCode(Vector vector) {
String sJsCode = "";
//get js head
sJsCode = getJsHeader();
//define js array;
sJsCode += "var data=new Array();\n";
Vector v = null;
String sTemp = "", sLine = "";
for (int i = 0; i < vector.size(); i++) {
v = (Vector) vector.get(i);
sLine = "";
for (int j = 0; j < v.size(); j++) {
sTemp = (String) v.get(j);
//replace " to \"
sTemp = sTemp.replaceAll("\"", "\\\\\\\"");
//escape Html Tag
//sTemp = StringUtil.escapeHTMLTags(sTemp);
//replace \r\n to <br>
sTemp = sTemp.replaceAll("\r\n", "<br>");
if (j != 0)
sLine += ",";
sLine += "\"" + sTemp + "\"";
sJsCode += "data[" + i + "]=new Array(" + sLine + ");\n";
//get js foot
sJsCode += getJsFooter();
return sJsCode;
public static String getJsHeader(){
return "<script language=\"JavaScript\">";
public static String getJsFooter(){
return "</script>";

How to send an object from one application to another?

Hi all,
I have two applications over the same server. The first application needs to send an object to the other application.
I try to put the object as a session attribute, but in the moment that the second application tries to get the attribute, the attribute doesn't exist.
Does anybody now how can pass an object from the one application to the other?

You can also use JMS
