Inserting an arrow in a picture object in a document

I am using Pages 2.0.2. I inserted a jpeg image and need to put an arrow on this image to show readers that this is the area we are discussing.
I have been using Edit > Insert > Shape and get my arrow, change the color and size. When I try to drag the arrow and anchor it on my image the arrow shape replaces the former jpeg and all I now see is a big arrow in that space.
Could someone share with me how to get the arrow in place?
I have also tried to insert a special character arrow and that didn't work either.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I think you may be inserting both objects with the text cursor active. If you look in the wrap inspector with the object selected, you'll probably see "moves with text" selected. Inserting a second object, the arrow, will "push" the first object, possibly out of sight before or after the first object. With the object(s) selected, click the "fixed on page" option. You should now be able to position them as you want. If any of your objects is a text box, the default setting of wrap being on with a 12-point gutter/extra space, the text will be "pushed" away.
To prevent this from happening, make sure you're not in the text layer before inserting any objects by clicking outsid of the layout area first.

Dragging of inserts like arrows jerky, so can't position them where I want...

Help! when I insert a arrow, or image, I can't position it where I want to on the slide, movement is jerky and it won't stay put. I have never had this problem before, and have no idea what's causing is. I closed out of everything and did a shutdown and restart on my computer... with no luck.
Thank you.

Hello,
What is happening here is that your objects are "Snapping to the grid". Not sure what version of Captivate you are using. I know this works in Captivate 4, probably in 3 as well (Cant' remember). Go to the View menu along the top. There is probably a checkmark beside "Snap to Grid". Remove the check mark and you should be all set to go

Inserting Information into Existing Custom Data Object Using API?

Hello,
I have setup a Custom Object and I have the ID for this object. All we're wanting to insert in this object is First Name, Last Name, Email. I have that information in code-form and I have both the BULK API and REST api at our disposal. We are having issues figuring out the API call we want to execute to insert this information into this Custom Object.
If someone could point us in the right direction that would be amazing. Thank you!

I solved the problem.
when we are selecting the image data from access database select that as getbytes
          while(rs.next())
               count++;
               picbarray = rs.getBytes("PICTURE");
when inserting to the oracle db
PreparedStatement st1 = null;
String sql = "insert into (colmn1,colmn2,colmn3,comn4,colmn5) values(?,?,?,?,?)";
st1 = con.prepareStatement(sql);
st1.setString(1, val1);
     st1.setString(2, val2);
     st1.setString(3, val3);
     st1.setBytes(4, picbarray);
st1.setString(5, val5);

How to display a continuously updating mesh object with the Labview 3D Picture Object

I have a continously updating stream of 3D images that can be represented in a mesh (a 3D movie if you will). I want to display this in the 3D Picture object so that everytime I acquire a new 3D image it is displayed. Examples are scarce and I couldn't find anything that dealt with this specific issue.
Currently (within a FOR/WHILE loop) for each iteration I create a scene object, set the geometry as a newly created mesh object, set the texture and eventually wire it to the 3D Picture. This implementation seems to leak memory (the taskmanager shows the used memory continously increasing and eventually processing speed will drop). I assume it's because I recreate the object for each iteration. Trouble is, I can't find anything that would let me release/delete the object once I'm done with the frame. All examples that I found only deal with creating the 3D object once and manipulating it.
What's the appropriate way to code this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You just need to use the 'Close Reference" VI on the 3D Picture Reference as this code below. It runs inside the loop.
Now, if you are dealing with mesh, then you should use the Set Mesh Parameters to change the points inside the loop and then, just closed the reference after the code is done. Look at this code below. The trick is to get the reference back from object using Typecast ( To More Specific Reference VI).
Also, look at the shipping examples in:
C:\nivs_dev\2013\InstallTo\ProgramFiles\National Instruments\LabVIEW\examples\picture\3D Picture Control
and specially the Using Meshes.vi.

Inserting PDF inc. comments as an Object in MS Excel

Hi,
I created a PDF document (Adobe Acrobat Standard 9) including a text box comment in that PDF. When I try to insert this document in a MS Excel Spreadsheet by using "Insert --> Object --> Adobe PDF Document" the inserted PDF in Excel does not show the Text Box comment anymore but the rest of the PDF looks okay. At the same time when the PDF is inserted in Excel, Adobe Acrobat pops up and shows the PDF document still containing the text box comment!
Does anybody knows how I get my Excel to show the comment Text box in the inserted PDF document??
Many thanks in advance
Georg

fwiw -
In the Pro release there are Preflights that will flatten.
Also, doing a Print that uses the Adobe PDF "driver" has, in the Print dialog, a drop-down (upper right) that lets one select
printing the PDF Document, Document & Markups, Documents & Stamps, or Form fields only.
Must flatten the annotations into the PDF page content because, otherwise, they are not of the page content (which is the PDF object being inserted).
Be well...

Interactive Reporting Scripting with Picture Object

I'm using CreateShape(bqShapeType, [sectionName]) to dynamically create some simple graphics on a report. I've created simple shapes and lines fine. But I'm at a loss when creating new picture objects (which is a shapetype bqPicture). I can create it fine, but I have not been able to find the property to set to the image file or resource that I want to use. I belive I've inspected all properties and methods of the picture object and there doesn't seem to be one for setting the actual image to use. I find this really odd! I looked at all the following properties and methods.
Picture Object
- Methods - OnClick
- Properties - Alignment, Comments, Locked, Name, Text, Type, VerticalAlignment, Visible
- UserValues - Methods: Add, Item, RemoveAll, Properties: Count
- Line - Properties: Color, DashStyle, Width
- Fill - Properties: Color, Pattern
- Placement- Methods: Modify, Properties: Height, Width, XOffset, YOffset

Unfortunately, there is no way to programmatically replace picture in the dashboard. If you need to dynamically change some picture then the common approach is to add several pictures one upon another and hide/show the picture you need. 'Visible' property is used in this case.
However the replacement is possible for report pictures, see the 'FilePath' property for details (dashboard pictures lack this property).
This problem is solved in the upcoming release. It will contain a full featured api to manage the centralized image storage (aka Resource Manager, Tools -> Resource Manager). Also, FilePath property will be added to dashboard picture property list.
Hope this information will help you.

You may also drag and drop a picture directly to your front panel. You can also use paint, or some other tools, to copy a part of a picture and past it into your front panel. This actually works for the block diagram also. Se example
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

How to Insert the row in the View object

I want to insert the row in the view object by instantiating Impl.java file
Could someone please let me know how to insert the blank row
Thanks

Inserting onto a view object should be done the following way:
//vo is your view object
Row aRow = vo.createRow();
//Set your attributes
aRow.setAttribute("AttributeName", objectValue);
//insert
vo.insertRow(aRow);
That should work for you if you are programming the input. If you are using java components bound to columns in a view object then the input should be done automatically for you when you commit.

Convert picture imported to Word document with VBA

I've Word documents that contain acronyms and a macro that searches the document for them so that they can be identified for an acronym table. So far, I can search a document's text and tables but not the pictures with the macro. I've found that if
I manually select the picture, right click and select group->ungroup, I get a MsgBox with the message "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?" Selecting the yes button converts
it into many Shapes objects that are then searchable.
I've determined that the picture (object) type prior to conversion is msoPicture and that it gets converted to an msoCanvas object with many Shape objects on it.
I've built a macro that can loop through various Canvas objects and then the Shape objects to find the acronyms. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to convert the image/object from msoPicture to msoCanvas in VBA. Does anyone know how to do
this? Thanks.

Hi,
As far as I know, we can’t convert a picture to canvas through VBA.
For that process through the UI, I think it add the canvas first, then add the picture to that canvas.
For your requirement, you could add the canvas first, then add the picture to tat canvas.
Sub NewCanvasPicture()
Dim shpCanvas As Shape
'Add a drawing canvas to the active document
Set shpCanvas = ActiveDocument.Shapes _
.AddCanvas(Left:=100, Top:=75, _
Width:=200, Height:=300)
'Add a graphic to the drawing canvas
shpCanvas.CanvasItems.AddPicture _
FileName:="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\" & _
"Office\Bitmaps\Styles\stone.bmp", _
LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True
End Sub

Cost Object in FI document with WBS Settlement

Hi,
I'm testing WBS settlement to G/L account which is cost element. I made some substitution rules because I met an error message saying that "Cost Object is needed"
As a result I can settle WBS to cost elements such as COGS etc. I got a FI document, CO document and PCA document. Everything looked so nice.
Suddenly I noticed, however, that there is no such a thing like cost object on FI document. When I look up the FI document using FB03, I found that the PS-POSID was empty. Of course, CO documents have Cost Object.
What I wonder is as follows
1. Is this standard? Is it natural that FI document with CO doc has no cost object on it?
2. If I need to use FI document to determine WBS element, what is the best to way? Is it possible to enter Cost Object such as wbs element in FI document during settlement?
Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

Kang,
In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.
However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.
Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.

Vishal.

Services for Object - Store Business Documents (issue with XLSX files)

Hi,
We are using the Services for Object > Store Business Document to be able to drag and drop files into (for example) Sales Inquiry, Sales Order, Sales Quotations etc.
Within OAC2 we have set up the global document types and these have been linked to the relevant Object Types and Content Repositories in OAC3. We have also set up the Content Repository as Document Area 'ARCHLINK'.
The ArhciveLink Basic Settings in OAG1 have the 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' set under Storage Settings.
The issue we are having is with XLSX document types. When we drag and drop the XLSX documen type using the Store Business Document the file is stored against the Sales Order but when you come to view the attachments MS Excel opens but an error message appears saying 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
We have reviewed SAP notes 1925897, 1739026 and 1145885 however non appear to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening?
I have found that if we unselect the option 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' in OAG1 then we can open the XLSX files.
As we have a significant amount of documents attached to various objects, what would be the implications of making this change agianst existing records and new records?
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,
No joy I'm afraid!!
I added entry 'xlslx' with the relevant MIME Type, Application and Description into table TOADD for the ArchiveLink settings and also this entry was already in tables SDOKMIME and SDOKFEXT for KPro.
I then following the process via the Services for Object within VA12 (Change Inquiry) to then Create > Store Business document > Select the relevant Document Type > Drag and Drop the XLSX file into the empty box.
I then saved the record and tried to view the attachement but I am still getting the same message 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
Our client is on componet SAP_BASIS release 701 Support Level 0014 and Support Package SAPKB70114 and I can see that note 1237688 is for SAPKB70112?

Gary
