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.

  • If I want to create a set of hierarchical relational content types, how do I move from one to the other?

    My scenario. I have been asked to create a series of content types to manage Report requests. A Report Base content type to be the parent, then three content types to extend that base to a Report Crystal, Report SSRS and Report SSIS. These top level
    reports collect data once. Once an instance of the "Report Crystal" content type  has been created the Report Writer needs to fill out another content type "Report DataSource" related by the ID of the parent to track any
    stored procedures used in the report, what database\s does it hit... Here is where I am lost on the how to fill out related lists. Do I add a calculated column that attaches the report ID the a URL? e.g. ..ReportDatasource/newform.aspx?ReportID=1 which will
    then show me the form. Or has this changed in 2013. I am reverse engineering some 2007 code to try to figure this out.
    The next step after that hurdle is, when the report writer has completed each data source entry, a workflow generates and email with links to a "Change Request" form. There would be one created for each row in the Report Datasource. The
    DBA would have to evaluate each "Change Request" and either Pass or Fail each one.  This Pass\Fail parameter and a description would get recorded in a "Change Result Log".
    I am wondering if a workflow replace the need for calculated columns or at least some. I think I have to have a calculated column in the initial "Report Crystal" column to fire off creating the first "Report DataSource" entry. And
    then a calculated column on that to give the option of adding another entry into the "Report DataSource" list if there are multiple procedures for the report. But if the report writer sets a column in the "Report DataSource" as Ready 
    For Review" a workflow should generate the Change Request.
    The flow is kind of set in stone but the structure is not. A very high level few of the data points

  • Trying to find a way to distort object from one to the other

    I have Illustrator Cs3 (windows) running under XP Pro.
    My challenge is to find a way to distort a shape in such a way that it will match another shape. It is a kind of morphing going from 1 object to another. I tried to use the Distort function (mesh), but don't really know wether there is a better way to handle it because it is quite manual.
    I could give a sample of what I want to do, but not sure we can attach files here.
    Any help would be really appreciated
    Thanks

  • How to draw 2 Strings one after the other?

    Hello,
    I have this code, and I would like to know how can I draw the string "s2" right after the first string "s1" on this panel, so that it comes right behind it while they're moving?
    Also, how can I make some of the strings drawn clickable (Like links) so that when I press on them some action is performed?
    Thanks a lot.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class VertMovingTextPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
        Timer t = new Timer(5,this);
        int x = 10 , y = 0 ;
        public VertMovingTextPanel()
        public void paintComponent (Graphics g){
            super.paintComponent(g);
            String s1 = "Alert number 1";
            String s2 = "Alert number 2";
            g.drawString(s1, x, y);
            //g.drawString(s2, x, y);

          frame.setVisible(true);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setSize(600,600);
    }

    Use g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(s1) to get width of the s1. Add the number to the x2.
    To have it clickable create Rectangle(s) for the string bounds. When user clicks use x and y position and check if the rectangle contains the point.

  • Stranger than fiction - Two application folders, one within the other

    I have two application folders, one inside the other.
    Can I just delete the one inside the other one of my application folders? I've never seen Tiger do this. I didn't do it so it had to be Tiger software. All the same applications are in both.
    Thanks.

    First, I'd boot from the Install CD/DVD then after you choose your language, a Menubar will show up top, find Disk Utility and run it from there to verify/Repair the HD.
    Might even want to Right Click on it and Archive before trashing, but with duplicate APPs in there... this might be a sign of real trouble on the horizon.
    Be absolutely certain to fix the Disk problem ASAP, I don't think there really are two of everything, just one with 2 lists or pointers !

  • I just upgraded to Lion. When I import photos it imports the same photo over and over. Not even one of the photos selected!! Do you know how to fix this?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I just installed iLife'11 last night. When I import photos into iMovie (version 9.0.4.) , it imports the same photo over and over as if it were the ones I selected. Not even one of the photos selected!! The thumbnais show that unselected photo,  if I preview then I just see the preview screen all black.
    I even tried making an iPhoto album and importing straight from there. Exact same thing. I have restarted the application, restarted the computer, and googled half-to-death. No answers.
    Do any of you know how to fix this?
    I am working on OS X Lion (10.7.1) , a 2009 15" MacBook Pro. 4GB Memory. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB Memory 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Hope someone can help!!!

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • How can i use one datatable inside the other?

    Hi all,
    i need help ... i have this page that shows information from a relational table... for example a mapped table "Countries" that has a java.util.Set inside named "Cities" and i would like 2 know how can i do this using jsf...
    The display would be like this:
    Brasil
    Rio de Janeiro
    Sao Paulo
    USA
    New York
    Washington
    New Orleans
    And Goes on... So i guess it would be a dataTable inside the other, right? but i dunno how to do it...
    Thanks for any info. cya

    this is somehow a messy example. But just focus on the var attribute of outer datatable and how value attribute of inner datatable is referencing it.
    <h:dataTable id="table1" value="#{pc_City_state.listofstates.states}" var="varstates" styleClass="dataTable">
                   <h:column id="column1">
                        <f:facet name="header">
                             <h:outputText styleClass="outputText" value="StateName" id="text2"></h:outputText>
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText id="text3" value="#{varstates.stateName}" styleClass="outputText">
                        </h:outputText>
                   </h:column>

              <f:facet name="header">

  • How do I set upmy Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.

    how do I set up my Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.  From systems Preferences I must select one or the other.  I want both to work all the time.

    Hi,
    I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
    1. DS: 0FI_AP_4  replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
    2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
    3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
    4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • 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
    d. Event u2013 Administration Chains
    6. Report Objects u2013
    a. Reports
    b. Report Objects

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Very strange behavior.  Don't entirely give up on the "Manually Added Items" category ... I have seen things magically appear there even after I've checked and seen nothing there.  I think things got real quirky when Apple released iCloud ... I don't remember extra copies of purchases lingering on my iPhone once transferred to my library before that.  Sure, if I bought an album directly to my iPhone it would stay on there even after I sync to my library, but if I deleted the album from the iPhone it stayed deleted.  Now it seems that there are some phantom copies that come and go with no explanation.

    I've tried deleting the album from both the phone and from iTunes and then redownloading them to both and the same problem occurs.
    If you're re-downloading an album to iTunes and your iPhone, that may perpetuate the problem.  What happens if you completely delete every copy of the album, then just download to your iTunes library and then sync the album to your iPhone from your library?  That should put only one copy on your iPhone.
    A few other things to try:
    1- Completely sign out of your Apple account on your iPhone, then re-sync to iTunes, then sign into your account on your iPhone again.  Maybe throw in a Reset or at least a power OFF/ON somewhere in the middle.
    2- Go to Settings/ General/ Usage, then select Music and when you see All Music, swipe your finger across it and tap the Delete button.  Before doing anything else, Reset your iPhone.  This does not actually delete your music, but seems to clear up some cobwebs left behind (people use this technique to reduce "Other" that swells up over time).

    Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
    and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
    What am I doing wrong ?
