my instructions were valid for the shapes and scenario shown in the image in your original post. Did you try that? Your last post shows that you are doing something quite different. In this case you can't use the same steps and approach.
Also when using the Free Transform tool you don't release the Ctrl button before releasing the mouse button if you want to retain the free transformation.
For your last case, I would put a box fitting around the ellipse and manipulate them together using the box as a guide for the Free Transform tool. Snapping is not possible in this case but with a few adjustments you can reshape the box and the containing ellipse to fit in the target shape.
Another way is to use Envelope distorted made with a Mesh but while this can give you precise snapping of the corners of the box to the corners of the target shape, the ellipse itself will be reshaped by the length of the handles which takes more manual adjustments and subjective shape decision to make the deformation. For this reason I would use the first method.

How to get GUID for a transaction

How to get GUID of a transaction in solution manager support desk.
pls help reg this.

Hi Kalpanashri,
I would suggest you to go for recording of the transaction. Then you can get to know the tables of the related fields which you have entered value during recording.
OR
For checking individual fields, you can go for the <b>WHERE-USED LIST</b>.
For Ex:
Please go to SE11 and enter data type with MATNR.
Then click on where-used list button and check only table type (the first option) and click on continue.
The system will show list of tables that store value of MATNR field. You can do double click on the field name and system will take you to detail screen of the table fields. Then from here ... you browse the data as well.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards

Hi Anjum,
You can try to read the current business transaction GUID in email view by reading global data context reference. Something like this:
*- Data dictionary
DATA lr_gdc            TYPE REF TO if_crm_ui_data_context.
DATA lr_bt             TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
DATA lv_guid          TYPE crmt_object_guid.
*- Get current business transaction from global data context
lr_gdc ?= cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( ).
CHECK lr_gdc IS BOUND.
lr_bt ?= lr_gdc->get_entity( name = if_iccmp_global_data_cont_con=>gdc_currentbt ).
CHECK lr_bt IS BOUND.
lv_guid = lr_bt->get_property_as_string( 'CRM_GUID' ).
Kind regards,
Garcia

Create guides in Illustrator CS4 JS

Hi, I need to create 4 guides in Illustrator page 3/16 inch from each edge of the artboard using javascript.
Could someone help me.
Thank you very much.

Joe, I think that this should be pretty close to what you want. It looks for path items in the selection, then should check to see if its a rectangle if it is then inset guides 3mm. I think it needs a check for right & left direction control points but I have NOT the time at the mo.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// Convert mm to points
var thisOffset = 3 * 2.834645;
with (docRef) {
// Get selected items Array
if (selection != '') {
for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
// Check if its a path item
if (selection[i] instanceof PathItem) {
// This might need a better test!!!
if (isRectangle(selection[i])) {
// Ignore any stroke values
var thisPath = selection[i].geometricBounds;
// Calculate guide box
var guideTop = thisPath[1] - thisOffset;
var guideLeft = thisPath[0] + thisOffset;
var guideWidth = (thisPath[2] - thisPath[0]) - (thisOffset * 2);
var guideHeight = (thisPath[1] - thisPath[3]) - (thisOffset * 2);
// Make new rectangle
var myGuides = pathItems.rectangle(guideTop, guideLeft, guideWidth, guideHeight, false);
// Make it guides
myGuides.guides = true;
} else {
alert('A Path Item was NOT a rectangle?');
} else {
alert('An object was NOT a Path Item?');
} else {
alert('You have NO selected objects?');
function isRectangle(pathObject) {
with (pathObject) {
if (pathPoints.length != 4) return false;
if (pathPoints[0].anchor[0] != pathPoints[3].anchor[0]) return false;
if (pathPoints[1].anchor[0] != pathPoints[2].anchor[0]) return false;
if (pathPoints[0].anchor[1] != pathPoints[1].anchor[1]) return false;
if (pathPoints[2].anchor[1] != pathPoints[3].anchor[1]) return false;
return true;

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

How to disable Guided Access in ios 6.0?

I am a secondary teacher and my students are using iPads in the classroom. I have tried IOS 6.0 and find that Guided Access is useful in some sense. However, I worried that if the Guided Access function is enabled by students, then how teacher/IT staff to unlock?
So, how to disable guided access in ios 6.0?
Thanks

My son just did that. He enable guided access and doesn't remember the password. Now we are locked out of the iPad. The screen won't lock and the ipad cannot be shutoff either. It's just running down the battery and we happen to be at the hospital.
I think some tweaks to this option are in order from Apple.
