How to select all objects in a document?

AI newbie question:
I have an active document with two linked files, I need to select both of these in a script and embed both. Then I will be selecting these separate and performing various actions on each.
In JavaScript, once I have the document object how can I select both linked files/items?
Thanks,
Dave

This will select all your linked files in the active document and embed them:
* a slight modification *
for(i = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].selected = true;
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].embed();
cheers;

How, in Illustrator CS5, can I select all objects with three points (or nodes)?

I am quite new to Illustrator, but it seems this should be simple. (It is trivial in CorelDraw X4: After selecting an object with three nodes, I go to Edit > Find and Replace > Find Objects > Find objects that match the currently selected object, and navigate through the remaining menus.)
In Illustrator CS5, the options under Select > Same do not seem to include selecting all objects with the same number of nodes as the currently selected object.
Double-clicking on the Magic Wand Tool also fails to provide such an option.
Thank you for any help.
P.S. Also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, e.g. how to select all objects with three points *and* the current fill color.

There is a script that can select "less than x points"

Does cs6 allow you to select ALL frames in a document?

I am doing a wedding book. So I have many image frames on each page.
I want to add a border (stroke) to all these frames. But to my surprise, it appears that the Select All command only selects the frames in the current spread. I did a bit of research here and on the net and it seems that, at least for the previous versions, there is no way to select all frames in a document. This seems very odd to say the least.
Does cs6 allow you to do this now? Or is there a workaround to quickly add a stroke to all frames in a document?
Thank you for any help.

Unfortunately no, but there's a trick you can use. Shapes drawn with the sahpe tool DO accept default settings, so you can use the shape tools instead of the frame tools and place images in them, but that probably doesn't help you at this point.
It actually should be pretty easy to apply an object style to all frames by script -- one or two lines I would think. You can ask over in InDesign Scripting
It might also be possible to use find/change. I just checked, and yes, you can search for the [None] object style and change all, so that may be the best approach.

How to select all the colomns_names from a table, with their datatypes ..

Hi,
The data dictionary view USER_TAB_COLUMNS has one row for every column in every table in your schema. The columns TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME and DATA_TYPE have all the information you need.
Another data dictionary view, USER_TABLES, may be useful, too. It has one row pre table.

How to SELECT ALL records of a TABLE VIEW in the BSP page

Hi All,
In the BSP portal, I am displaying some data(multple records) in the form of a table using the BSP TAG <htmlb:tableView>. I wrote the logic in the 'VIEW' of the BSP application which will be triggered by the controller. I have used the attribute selectionMode = "MULTISELECT" to have a Check Box to select a row.
My requirement is to have a button/checkbox on the first column of the header of the table view. By clicking on this, it should select/desect all the records of the table. Could someone please help me how to do this? What attribute I should use in the tableview to get the button in the header row of the table and how to select all the records of the table.?
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Paddu.

How to copy all objects (incl. joins) from a BM into another existing BM

Hello, i'm a regular viewer of this forum and now i have one issue that looks simple but i cannot resolve it.
To make it less complex let's say we have a business layer with two business models (e.g. CIS-Finance and CIS-Logistics). For each BM we have a seperate subject area in the presentation layer.
Each BM has unique objects, no object (like dimension time) is appearing in both BM's.
Now there is a business requirements to have a 'mega' model, that is one extra BM that is combining both BM's. Let says we want to merge both model into one new big model.
To achieve this I did the following:
1) Duplicate CIS-Finance to CIS-All (using right mouse click on BM and click duplicate and change the name of duplicated BM to CIS-All)
2) Then I select all objects in CIS-Logistics and copy all these objects and paste them into the new BM CIS-All.
All selected objects were copied into the BM but the logical joins are not copied as well the content level information of the source tables.
Is there a way to copy also this information (logical joins and content info), or do you suggest another approach to achieve this goal?
Thanks, Ben

what i did:
1) i copied the original rpd to rpd2
1) in the original rpd, i duplicated CIS-Finance to CIS-Logistics (so I have the same name for the BM to where i want to copy to)
2) in the rpd2 i selected all objects in BM CIS-Logistics
3) I pasted all objects to rpd BM CIS-Logistics (so BM has same name)
unfortunately it doesn't work, all objects are copied but not the joins and content.
You suggest UDML, can you be a little bit more specific? I searched the internet, found out what UDML is, but I cannot map it to what I want.
Thanks.

Switch to list or column view. If you must use icon view, instead of Shift-clicking items, click on an empty space near one of them and drag to enclose them.

How to select all the people that are not in any equipe ?

Hi,
I have a nice SQL expression that gives me as a result all the "AGENTS" (people) that are working in an EQUIPE (a team)
select a."AGENT_ID",
a."NOM" || ' ' || a."PRENOM" "Nom",
c.libelle "Equipe",
a."DATE_EMBAUCHE" "Date embauche",
a."DATE_DEBAUCHE" "Date débauche"
from OBSERVATOIRE."AGENT" a,
observatoire.equipe_agents b,
observatoire.equipe c
where a.agent_id = b.agent_id
and b.equipe_id = c.equipe_id
order by nom
Now, how to select all the agents that are NOT working in any "EQUIPE" (team) ?
I have tried but could not succeed !
Thank you for your kind help.

Christian from France wrote:
It is not working because the table EQUIPE_AGENTS does not contains a row if the agent is not into any equipe.
CREATE TABLE "OBSERVATOIRE"."EQUIPE_AGENTS"
(     "EQUIPE_AGENTS_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "EQUIPE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "AGENT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE)
CREATE TABLE "OBSERVATOIRE"."AGENT"
(     "AGENT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "GRADES_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "NOM" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "PRENOM" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
     "DATE_EMBAUCHE" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "DATE_DEBAUCHE" DATE)
The only way to "know" if an agent is not into any equipe (team) is to search into the EQUIPE_AGENTS table, and if we do not find the ID of the agent into this table, then we know that this agent is not into any EQUIPE (team).
I don't know ho to translate this into SQL.And that's what my query does. It uses an OUTER JOIN so that a result record is returned whether or not there is a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS. And the check for EQUIPE_ID is NULL restricts the result set to those where there IS NOT a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS.
A more traditional way would be to use NOT IN or NOT EXISTS clauses, but they can prove inefficient.

How to select all text in document?

I need to select all text in a long document to export to rtf. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas in how I can do it?
Thanks
Ian

Can't be done. You'll have to link all text boxes together in one long story, or use the script "ExportAllStories.jsx" that comes with your default InDesign installation.
There are other alternatives (all of them using scripts), and the best way may depend on what your intentions are with the exported file -- if, for example, you want to read it back into their original text frames after editing, well, there are ways to do that.
