How to stop auto rotate of shapes in Illustrator CS4?

When I create a shape, like a rectangle, it starts out slightly rotated or skewed. When I take another shape, like a half circle, and reflect it, it rotates at a slight angle. This happens every time I start a new file. I don't see rotation in the appearance panel. When I look at the transform panel it lists rotation at zero. Yet all of my shapes tilt down and to the right.
How can I stop my shapes from auto rotating?
Thank you,
Nina

Check if the constrain angle is set to 0

    Hey people please help me with my problem.
    I purchased a VIP subscription for a week in starmakerstudios karaoke. I don't know how to stop auto renewal. Even though I have deleted the app, I'm still being charged $1.99 a week!

    Hi Gerald,
    Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance.

  • How to create unique shapes in Illustrator CS4

    First off....
    I am new to the Adobe suite of applications and also new to owning a Macbook Pro. I have been using a design program for Windows for many years.
    I would like to master the creation and manipulation of shapes using Illustrator CS4.
    As one example, how would I create the following:
    I want to end up with a shape that is similar to one-quarter of a full moon.
    Using my Windows program (not an Adobe product), I would create a line using a line tool, and then I would be able to convert that line to a curve using a shape tool, which would enable me to drag from the midpoint of the line and have it become an arc. Then, while still using the shape tool, I could click once to select one of the endpoint nodes to then click on an "auto-close" option which would add a straight-line edge to close the shape for outline and fill purposes (so one side of the shape is straight at this point and the other side is curved). Using the shape tool, I would double-click near the midpoint of the straight edge to add a new node to the shape, and then I would use the "convert to curve" option from within the shape tool to be able to drag this straight side towards the curved side to end up with the quarter-moon shape as desired.
    How would I make this sort of shape using Illustrator, and as a general question for learning, how can I learn all about how to put lines in the design space for purposes of joining these lines, curving any part of one or more lines and then filling or outlining the finished shape made from joined lines?

    > and as a general question for learning, how can I learn all about how to put lines in the design space for purposes of joining these lines, curving any part of one or more lines and then filling or outlining the finished shape made from joined lines?
    Well, you can read the documentation. That will be much more thorough and methodical than asking a random series of "how do I..." questions in a user forum. And it will take you
    a lot less time.
    > Using my Windows program (not an Adobe product)
    You can say the name. If there's actually anyone here who doesn't know other drawing programs exist, well, they
    need to. Your description sounds like Xara Xtreme.
    > I want to end up with a shape that is similar to one-quarter of a full moon..create a line...convert that line to a curve...drag from the midpoint of the line and have it become an arc...select one of the endpoint nodes... "auto-close"...double-click near the midpoint of the straight edge to add a new node..."convert to curve"...drag...
    A similar procedure could be used in just about any vector drawing program that draws cubic Bezier curves. A much quicker procedure could also be used in just about any program, by leveraging the geometric shape tools and path combination commands that are just as ubiquitous:
    1. Draw a circle.
    2. Duplicate the circle.
    3. Overlap the circles partially.
    4. Use one circle to "punch" the other, leaving the difference (the crescent shape).
    Here are two AI-specific differences I note in your description:
    Illustrator can't bend a straght segment by dragging its middle if the straight segment has both its associated curve handles retracted. Dragging such a segment in AI just moves the segment (and its associated anchorPoints).
    Illustrator displays fills on open paths. There is no option to turn off that often unwanted behavior.
    Again, read the manual (the online Help files). It will take you decades to learn the program by asking random questions on the basic use of the tools, location of commands, organization (well, disorganization) scheme of the program, etc., etc.

  • How to Stop Auto assignment of Source of Supply in SC

    Hi All;
    We are using SRM7 classic scenario.
    While creating  a SC, the system automatically assigns a vendor in the source of supply if there is 1 contract or 1 inforecord.If there are multiple, the system will not assign but it will show them all so that the user will select one of them.
    Our requirement: we need to stop auto assignmnt of source of supply in SC.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is a source determine driver and FM in SRM. You shall find it in the forum.

  • How to cut and paste a picture into a shape in Illustrator CS4

    In illustrator CS4 I am trying to cut and paste a picture into a shape. In freehand the shortcut was so easy. I know there is one in Illustrator but cant remember what it is, can anyone tell me?

    K8,
    What Steve said, with the addition that you may get rid of the outlying parts, by:
    1) With the mask selected, in the Transparency palette dropdown select anything but Normal,
    2) Object>Flatten Transparency, no need to change options,
    unless you have withheld information and really want to distort the picture to fit the shape, in which case you should select both shape and picture and Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object.
    The procedure 1) - 2) is destructive in case of vector artwork but makes no difference with raster images, and it makes it easier to avoid accidental/unwanted selection outside the  Clipping Mask.

  • How do I correct error 148.3 for Illustrator CS4?

    How do I correct error 148.3 in order to open Illustrator CS4?

    Gen,
    I am afraid error 148.3 has never been reported here, so quite possibly no one will know what it is about.
    Unless someone comes up with a cleverer suggestion, you may have a look at this general list of things to try(of which 5) may be the least likely to help).
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • PS migration: How to stop auto-creation of PR for completed activities?

    We are migrating project master & transactional data from R/3 4.7 to ECC5. In the old system, majority of the ext. activities in our projects already carries the status REL. Purchase Requisition was auto-created > PO done > GR/IR done > actual cost for the ext. activity already posted into the project.
    In our migration effort, we are transferring the whole project structure & master data from the old 4.7 to ECC5 and subsequently updating the system & user statuses of the whole project structure.
    How can we stop the system from auto-creating a PR again when the statuses are updated for those activities that are already completed, i.e. actual cost posted, as in 4.7 system?
    We thought of using the logic if a PO exist for the activity in the 'old' system, then the field AFVGD-AUDISP (Res/Pur.req) for the activity in CJ20N should be set to 'Never'. However, my ABAPer was saying this could not be done as AFVGD is a structure and not a table.
    Have any one of you face similar predicament? Is there other method to address this issue? Appreciate your assistance.
    Edited by: Quah Ai Ling on Jun 10, 2008 5:36 AM

    Hi Varshal,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    However, we thought of an alternate method that does involve changing the customers existing business process.
    1) Change the field AUDISP in the network profile to 1 "Never" for the conversion.
    2) Migrate the data. Program will create Networks, Activities & Components with the field AUDISP set to "Never create Reservation or Purchase Requisition".
    3) Change the field in AUDISP in the network profile back to "2 From Release".
    We will have to get the users to clean-up their data (close outstanding PRs or convert those PRs to POs) before this exercise for a clean cut-over.

  • How to stop auto comnnecting to share as AppleID (permissions)

    OK chaps and chapesses, I've had a search but the question I want to ask usually gets asked in reverse (how to connect as Apple ID).
    This is the scenario.
    1) I have 2 macs - a 2009 Mac Pro desktop and a 2011 MacBook Pro.
    2) They are (at the moment) exact clones of one another, both running ML (10.8.5)
    3) Both the MP and the MBP have an "admin" user (for admin only) and my main account for working (standard user).
    4) The Macs are connected to my home network via AFP shares using static IP addresses, (let's say afp://192.168.1.20 and 21)
    5) Both computers have different network share names (eg MyMBP and MyBigMac)
    I am trying to network them so that I can connect to either Mac from the other one to copy files across from one standard user's account, to maintain sync.
    Before anyone suggests iCloud, I cannot use this for my data storage as much of my data is subject to non-disclosure agreements and my clients' IT policies, which forbid cloud storage.
    Anyway, I've got no problem getting the Macs to see each other on the network – the problem is, every time I connect, it immediately connects under my Apple ID. This means the sharepoint (my home folder) mounts without giving me the option to "Connect as… Registered user" which is what I need to do. If I am connected as my Apple ID, I do not get the necessary permissions to move stuff around in the home folder of the other Mac. I know I need to log in as the standard user in both Macs and connect as such. The problem is stopping it auto-connecting as Apple ID.
    This problem happens whether I browse the network, or whether I Go>Connect to server.

  • How to stop auto generation of ids for h:dataTable

    I am using <h:dataTable> tag to display more than one error messages.
    My code goes like this
    <h:dataTable id="messagetb" value="#{searchZug.searchZugParam.allMessages}" var="message">
    <h:column>
    <h:outputText style="color:red;" value="#{message}" />

    </h:dataTable>
    When i run my application, console is displaying a message like
    'WARNING: Component _id79 just got an automatic id, because there was no id assigned yet. If this component was created dynamically (i.e. not by a JSP tag) you should assign it an explicit static id or assign it the id you get from the createUniqueId from the current UIViewRoot component right after creation!'
    I checked in the generated html source. It is generating id for tbody as 'messagetb:tbody_element', this is causing the problem.
    How can i stop this auto generation of ids? if not possible, then how can i explicitly specify the id for tbody?

    The Skyfire browser is the best solution I have found, so far. It's a browser that converts the videos on the fly. It doesn't work for other types of flash (games, ads, etc) but it does a good job with videos.

    Does anyone know how and where this is controlled?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Use custom text boxes, click the T button on the tool bar.
    The Master slide text bounding boxes are designed to remain the same size, but as more text is added the text size is reduced to compensate.

  • How to stop auto from-feed on a dot matrix printer for printing only a single line of data at a frequency of 30 seconds

    Hello friends
    In a particular application, it is required to print a single line of data on a dot matrix printer (continuous sheets) at a frequency of 30 seconds. That is printing is to be carried out line-by-line on the same form without a form feed.
    We are facing a problem of a form feed after printing of each line. Kindly help me to solve this problem of auto form-feed. How to continuously print at a regular interval without from-feeding.
    Shahid Baig

    Is this printer connected to a network?
    You may need to look at the printer manual to see if there is a setting for a form feed.  I remember when we had a dot matrix printer on the network about 12 years ago, there would be a network timeout setting of something like 30 seconds.  So if you didn't continue to send data, the network will end the print job and send the file to the printer which would auto form feed at the end.  Many of our basic programs had to be rewritten because they would do an LPRINT periodically, if you took along time progressing through the inputs, you would easily hit the 30 second timeout.  So all the programs had to be rewritten to save the data to be printed to a file, and only once you execute a print command, it would read the file back in and Lprint it (or a Print#1) to the LPT port.
    Since the printer was on the network, and basic could only print to LPT's, we had to use a net command to capture the LPT1 port and direct it to the network queue.
    I don't remember all the details, but those are the bits and pieces I do remember.  I think the answer to your problem lies in there somewhere.
    Namely:
    1.  Printer setting to auto form feed.
    2.  Network setting that closes print job after timeout period.
