Importing items within a groups duration?
I have several scenes, which I divided up into groups along my timeline. When I add new images/videos/whatever to my project, the duration is equal to the entire project, so I have to manually adjust it to fit within the duration of the group I want it in every time. This is seriously interupting my workflow, is there anyway I can change this?
Do you have other layers in the group which have a longer duration? If you do then the group will continue to the end of the project duration. If you want all layers in the group to end at the same point then put the playhead there, select the group and hit o. All content will be cut to that point. Perhaps you have been selecting a layer and only trimming that layer and what you see is the group continuing on. What I described definitely works in trimming the layer and /or group. Hope you get it sorted.

? on moving items within layer groups
i am having trouble using layer groups. I have a layer group named Group 1 with 5 layers in it. Each layer contains 1 image. I'm unable to move 1 layer to center the image without all the other layers taking on the same position.Even if they aren't turned on, or selected. The only layer selected and turned on is the layer i want to move the image.
I don't have a lock on. Even if i turn off the other layers, once i turn them on again, poof - they all position incorrectly.
How can I turn off this glue type action from happeing?
Thanks!
MarleyI've never seen anything like the behaviour you are describing.
The only things that will cause layers to move together are the following conditions…
selecting multiple layers in the panel
Linking them as mentioned before (see the small link incon at the bottom of your layers panel)
highlighting and moving a group. This means using the move tool when a layer GROUP is highlighted not an individual layer
Your screen shot impies that none of this is happening. Reset your photoshop preferences by holding command option shift while launching the application. -
How to delete a path item from within a group item?
I am generating and downloading QR codes in vector format (.eps). I use VB scripting to place each QR code into an Illustrator document for later laser etching as a batch. Each QR code is comprised of a bunch of small, individual filled squares all enclosed in a single large transparent square. Here's a sample of one of the QR codes: http://laserfolly.com/2753.eps When etching, the laser control software interprets the outside bounding square in such a way that it confuses its "inside out" algorithm used to determine whether a given path item should be etched, i.e., is it "filled". This causes the some of the individual squares to be interpreted as not filled... even though they are. If I delete the outer bounding square path item then all is well. But there are hundreds of these codes in every batch... so it is time prohibitive to delete those outer squares by hand. Here's my ask: does anyone know how to use Illustrator scripting (I'm using VB) to identify that outer square and delete it at the time that it's placed in the batch document?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
BobThanks, Mark. That makes sense. However, when I search all the paths in the document there are none that have a true clipping property. My suspicion is that the bounding square is just that, a square drawn by the qr code api as a frame around the code. You got me thinking though. I figured out that I can identify the relevant path simply by it's dimensions and then delete it. So here's the new sticking point: I don't think the Illustrator object model allows for interrogating path items within a group, i.e., you have to iterate through all the pathitems in the document. Ideailly, I'd like to be able to look at only the paths within the QR code, which I add to the document as a placed item... which Illustrator treats as a group. This document has tens of thousands of paths and so looping through all of the them to find the 50 QR codes would be super inefficient. What do you think? Is there a way to iterate through just the paths in a placeditem/group?
RE VB vs. JS, I can write in both but there are a lot of reasons I'm using VB on this project. The main reasons are that the customer is using Excel for data internally and Excel VBA is a really strong VBA object model. I've also written more than 500,000 lines of the stuff in my career so I'm pretty comfortable solving complex problems with it. Also, the IDE and the run-time debugging engine is oh so great for rooting out the nasties. :-) -
Working with items within groups
With nearly all primary Adobe CS applications they offer a way to modify individual items within a group without ungrouping the item. Both Illustrator and InDesign in CS5.5 enable to doubleclick on the group which enters a mode were that item is isolated and only the contents within can be modified. As far as I can tell the only options to do this in Fireworks is to:
* Ungroup and then regroup, which is not ideal because you loose the name of the group and you have to reselect each item again afterwards to regroup
* Use the sub selection tool, which is also not ideal because it dose not allow you to target sub groups as items
Can anybody else confirm this behavior?Try the Object extension by Aaron Beall http://fireworks.abeall.com/extensions/
You can also, instead of grouping the objects, convert them to a Symbol (Select all, then Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol > Graphic. The objects will then behave as a group. You can edit individual items in the group by opening the symbol in the Symbol editor. To open the Symbol editor, simply double click on it. -
How do you select individual items from within a group?
Hi, All.
New poster. Forgive me if I miss any forum etiquette.
Currently using Indesing CS6 on Mac Osx 10.7.4
I'm a relatively recent convert to Indesign from Quark, and one thing I seem to have continual problems with is selecting individual items from within a group.
For example I will have a grouped item, such as price marker that is comprised of several individual items, some text boxes, some rectangles.
I find there is no way to select a rectangle that is currently placed behind a transparent text box without ungrouping the entire item - which isn't really an option.
The select options (slect next item below etc. just don't work)
For any Quark users out there, the equivalent command I'm looking for is the cmd+opt+shift click through, which just worked absolutely perfectly.
I have scoured the internet and forums looking for an answer for this, as I assumed it must be my own lack of knowledge, but I can't find an answer.
Any help much appreciated.
ThanksHi, winterm.
Thanks for the super quick repsonse. Unfortunately that hasn't seemed to have helped me.
That works fine as long as the grouped items are overlapping or apart, but not when items are entirely behind another item (ie, no part protruding from the group)
The problem is that if I double click to try and get through a text box to an item that is entirely behind it, then it just switches into text edit mode for the top text box.
If it helps, could you imagine a transparent text box that is 20x20 with red rectangle centred beneath it that is 10x10. If the 2 items are grouped I cant find any way to select through to the red rectangle without first ungrouping the two.
Am I going mad? -

Error after submitting Import Items Seeded Program
Re: Error after submitting Import Items Seeded Program -
I've used the method within the SharePoint designer to add a link to the workflow context current item URL, but when the current item status changes then obviously this link will no longer work.
How can I change this link so that it will always open the item, even if someone has changed it within the list, before I clink on the link?
This is an important one as over 300 people will use the list and many of these will be emails about items on the list will be in different time zones. I don't want to have lots of mails from people saying "this list doesn't work" as it's
critical they keep using it.
Please help.
P.S. I don't know if the <href> method will work, so if someone can confirm to me then that would be great.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that add a link to an item within a workflow email.
I’ m not very clear about the status you said. Please descript more detail which URL do you want to display.
Per my knowedge, you can display the following url in your email body:
[%Workflow Context: Current Item URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Current Site URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Workflow Status URL%]
[%Current Item: Encoded Absolute URL%]
Please start the workflow automatically when an item is changed and changed.
No matter how you edit the item or update the approve status, the URLs remains the same.
Thank you for your understanding.

Defaulting Tax Code in the PO line item by Material Group
Hi All,
How do I default the Tax code for the PO line item by material group in INDIRECT purchasing (without Material Number)
What is the config for this?
Thanks in advance.Not possible with mateiral group except you devvelope custom solution or try the following
Do the config in thetcode
OMKL
OMKN
OMKO
than maintain that for your conditon in MEK1.
In this section, you maintain the tax code determination facility.
Within the framework of the price determination process, it is possible
to have the tax code determined automatically via the conditions.
For the purposes of automatic tax code determination, tax indicators
derived from the material master record, Customizing, or the purchasing
document are used. The system determines the tax code on the basis of the
combination of these tax indicators.
To assign a tax code to a combination of tax indicators, you must
maintain master conditions in Purchasing (menu options "Master data ->
Taxes").
There are tax indicators at the levels "plant", "account assignment
category" and "material".
In addition, there are two tax indicators that are derived from the
purchasing document:
o Country of origin and country of destination differ
o Region of origin and region of destination differ
The assignments "tax indicator -> plant" and "tax indicator -> account
assignment category" must be made in Customizing.
Automatic tax code determination can be useful, for example, if different
tax rates apply depending on whether a material is placed in stock or is
consumed immediately following its procurement. -

Standard Manager is running this request, Import Item program request after the completion, creating Item categories for this it is taking time, that is the reason another import items request is waiting for the Item categories program to be completed.You need to find out why the "Item Categories" takes that long to complete.
Do you have the statistics up to date?

Error in DTW while importing item masters
Dear All,
i'm tryin to import item masters, but the system gives an error " expense account not defined for this item". I have checked in the GL determination, the expense account in purchasing tab does exist.. Can anyone please tell me how to rectify this?
Thanks in advance..
Best Regards,
Joseph AntonyHi Joseph,
Item Master does not refer directly from G/L Account Determination.
It refers to account settings in Item Group or Warehouse (Administration -> Setup -> Inventory -> Item Groups/Warehouses) , depending on the setting of "Set G/L Accounts By" in Item Master.
Hope it helps.

Beginners Question: Summing an item in a group footer, not details
I have a reoccurring problem with my reports. It is a pretty standard budget structure with a group for a department, subgroup for charge code, and items charged. Each charge code has a budget amount. It looks like this:
GH 1 Department Group
GH 2 Charge Code
Details Item one Amount 1
Details Item two Amount 2
Details Item three Amount 3
GF 2 Charge Code sum(Amounts) Budget Amount
GH 1 Department Group sum(all Amounts) sum(Budget Amounts)
Using data to make this a little clearer... if the first charge code has a budget allocated to be 100 dollars:
Department Group 1
Charge Code 100
Item one $1.00
Item two $2.25
Item three $0.75
Charge Code $64.43 $100.00
Department Group sum(all Amounts) sum(Budget Amounts)
This way they can see the total spent per charge code and compare it to the budget total for that code.
Here is the problem: If there are 10 items within the one charge code, the sum at the department group level winds up 10*100.00 or $1,000.
Department Group $64.43 $1000.00
I have no idea why it would sum the budget amount for each item. The report parameter is in the footer, not the details, but it definitely does this. Every time.
How do I make it stop?
Thanks in advance

AI file with Group items that can have GroupItems within GroupItems.
If you have a groupitem (contains a textframe and a rectangle object), I can loop thru the group item, but it seems that it gives a type back as group item for each item in the group. But it should give back TextFrame and a rectangle. Any ideas?
Doesn't matter if javascript or vbscript, any example or soultion would be beneficial.
TomCheck the length property of the groupitems for the group.
This is a function I use in a script to get all of the textframes, you should be able to get what you need from this:
// Function: getTextFrames
// Usage: Gets all of the textframes for supplied group
// Input: Group reference
// Return: Array of textFrames
function getTextFrames (groupRef) {
// Pass groups to handler - for every groupItem -
// if it's a group, reprocess, if it's a text frame, add to array.
var textItemsList = new Array();
if (groupRef.groupItems.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0 ; i < groupRef.groupItems.length; i++) {
var theGroupItems = (getTextFrames (groupRef.groupItems[i]))
for (var j = theGroupItems.length -1; j> -1; j--) {
textItemsList.push (theGroupItems[j])
if (groupRef.textFrames.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0 ; i < groupRef.textFrames.length; i++) {
textItemsList.push (groupRef.textFrames[i])
if (groupRef.legacyTextItems.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0 ; i < groupRef.legacyTextItems.length; i++) {
//$.write ('Legacy Text Item found\n')
var theTextFrame = groupRef.legacyTextItems[i].convertToNative()
textItemsList.push (theTextFrame)
return textItemsList -
I have a report that uses a group that contains three parts, a details part, a blank lines part, and a totals part.
What I am attempting to achieve, is to produce the report so that there are page breaks within this group. The page breaks should happen after each part.
I have been able to achieve the desired look by adding a group for each part, with an additional 'blank' group to provide a page break between the Details Part and the remaining 2 parts.
This, however has left me with 3 issues;
Throughout the report, there will be pages with only the heading and no details.
There are pages that show 2 headings (one for the ending detail group and the other is for successive detail group)
How to remove the headings for the blank lines part and totals part (which is now on their own separate pages)
The major pain point for me is issue #3. Anyone able to offer suggestions with the amount of information provided?Hello,
Based on your description, you have three part in one group. You have add page break between each part. You have mentioned that the heading will repeat in each page. You have set the tablix repeat headers on each page, right?
Since you have blank line part in the group, when we add page break between each part, we will get a blank line page. When we have set the heading will repeat in each page, we would also have repeat page header in blank page.
Now, what your requirement is not get the repeat header in the blank page and total page, right? Please refer to the following steps below:
Cancel the headers repeat in each page configuration.
Add a total row before of the detail group. Change these text box values with headers values.
Please refer to the screenshot below:
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
