Is it possible to calibrate the ruler tool in centimeters?

I need to show specific ratios on the image, e.g., this distance is to this as that is to that. A measuring tool that works in pixels is pretty cumbersome. IS it possible to re-calibrate the ruler tool to measure in millimeters, centimetres, etc.? Pixels don't really make it for me. It seems like an obvious choice, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks, guys. You were right. And thanks for coming up with it fast.

How do I add the ruler tool to my tools bar?

I don't see the ruler tool (for tilt correction, etc.) on the left bar display. How do I add/display it in CS5?

And for all that expand to show the nested Tools, there will be a tiny black triangle in the upper-right corner of the Button in the Toolbar.
I think that most Tools now have nested Tools in the group, so about all will have the little triangle.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I get the ruler tool to show length in inches?

This doc says the units the ruler tool shows length in are changed using preferences:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/photoshop/using/positioning-ruler-tool.html
This document says the ruler tool always uses pixels unless you change measurement scale on a per image basis:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop//10.0/help.html?content=WS3D3EF585-502B-49d2-85F F-537E9DC25C21.html
So far, the latter seems to be the case, but that's horribly inconvenient. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there some setting somewhere that will make the ruler tool display measurement length in inches (or what ever I set in preferences)?
Note that I am not talking about the units shown at the top and left side when the ruler is in view, I'm talking about the ruler tool's position and length data, whether or not the ruler is in view.

Trevor,
Unfortunately, that only changes the ruler units, not the mouse coordinates displayed when taking measurements using the ruler tool.
gener7 nailed it though.

Fast selection of the ruler tool?

Hi,
I often use the ruler tool. Its located below the eyedropper tools.
How can I bring up this tool to select it with one fast click - instead of long clicking at the eyedropper to wait the popping up the (sub)tools.
The shortcut "I" only selects the first of the tools.
Thanks,
Konrad

What version of photoshop?
In both the regular and extended versions of photoshop one can change the Keyboard shortcut for the Ruler Tool using Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts
Are you using an extended version of photoshop and if so which one?
For example in cs5 extended one can set a keyboard shortcut for the Ruler Tool through Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts.

Is it possible to use the upgrade tool to generate SSC's anymore?

I have a hand few of really old 1130's, manufactured prior to when MICs were installed. In anycase I wanted to convert a few of them to lightweight for use in a remote location with a 4400 we have laying around. Long story short, during the upgrade process I see an error on access point. I looks like one of the airespace certs that is copied over has expired back in April of this year. After the upgrade the access point fail to join the controller. I see an error on the access point and it seems there is a problem with it accepting the certificate on the controller. I see several posts were it seems that some people are having the same problem, I have not seen a solution.
I think that if I got it to connect the first time it wold be good to go. I'm wondering if configuring the conversion tool with a date prior to expiration would get the certificate on the access point and maybe at that point it would work.

Sounds like 2 issues. First need to make sure you have ssc check boxed under allowed. Then when the ap tries to join do the following debug to get the hash for the ap cert ..

Possible Bug in "The Rules"

After logging-in through the firewall, regardless of whether I am logged into the forum or not, when I click on the link in;
"Welcome to Lenovo's Discussion Community - Please note The RULES when posting."
I get a log-in window requiring user name and PW. Closing the window brings an Authorisation failed message, using the FW PW everything is fine.
I know the rules are also in the Welcome forum, but I would hope most potential / new members will click on this link.

Is it possible when using the markup tools to make them locked in position?

I am using Acrobat 8 Pro and my boss wants to be able to draw on a PDF. which is fine when he uses the markup tools provided, the only problem is that when he has to draw something that starts and ends on a existing markup it selects the markup and moves it. Is there anyway to make it so that a selection tool has to be engaged before something can be selected, instead of automatically being able to select things once the cursor it brought over it. Thanks

If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette. You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg, And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager. When You do a manual save the script should be triggered. I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event. I have only use open events.

Is it possible to view the Rules data in Information Steward.

Hi Experts,
I'm working on Information Steward.Could you please guide me how to work on it.If i'm asking anything wrong correct me.
In our project (Data Cleansing) source system is MS-SQL Server.
when i create rules by using parameter,function and value in Data Insight .
1)In information steward we can view the table data.Coming part of the rules i'm not able to view the data.
2)when i click on score card setup icon here i can add Key Data Domains.It will display with yellow exclamantion mark.
Regards,
visu.

Hi Visu,
you need to calculate the score for your rules by creating a Rule Task (Calculate Score). The scores for your Tables, Columns or Rules can then be viewd in the Workspace Tab under the Rule Result panel.
These Rule Results are organized for technical focus: I am responsible for a tabel in my databasea nd want to know how good the data within the table is, or within a column...
The DQ Scorecard is a different concept where you can create a nice drill down scorecard based on a Key Data Domain that you can define. This is for example if you are a Data Steward within your company responsible for the Product Data and you want to get a quick entry point / visualization how good the product data within your company is. (This person might not be aware in how many differnt tables of a database relevant product related data is stored and needs to be assessed, he just wnats to see results for his Key Data domian / Data Entity / Business Object PRODUCT). So the DQ Scorecard is a separate cetup, where you define which Key Data Domain, which Data Quality Dimensions (that you have already assigned to your rules), which Rules (that you already have bound to your tables) and which Rule Bindings you want to pick form your basic score calcualition to be conolidated and propagated to the higher level score of your Key Data Domain. That's what you do, when you go to Scorecard Setup. If there is a Exclamation Mark on any level of the Scorecard Setup, it means that you have not added next level of detial in that chain.
Easy explanaition for why havign separate setup: You might want to defien a central ruel in your company to define valid salutations for persons (Mr. , Ms., unknown), bind them to the physical tables EMPLOYEE, SUPPLIER_CONTACT, CUSTOMER_CONTACT for getting the DQ SCore when setting up the Rule Tasks on the EMPLOYEE, CUSOTMER and SUPPLIER table.
--> gives you three individual scores, based on one single rule definition.
But you also want to get a DQ Scorecard for drill down based on the different data objects. So your Scorecard setup has three Key Data Domains: Employee, Supplier, Customer. You add Data Quailty Dimenson to the scorecard set up for each Key Data Domain (chooes the ones you have attched to your single validation rule for the salutation check) then for every Key Data Domain and its Quality Dimension you add at least the Salution Rule (or I expect you have much more rules like validating other fields) and for each and every Key Data Domain / Data Quality Dimension / Rule defined you add the according Rule Binding: To the EMPLOYEE table for the Key Data Domain Employee, etc...
All concepts are described in the Product tutorials and in the documentation.

Is it possible to show the 'Quick Tools' toolbar in a browser?

I have Acrobat Pro X installed and I want to see the 'Quick Tools' toolbar in the browser but I can't figure out how to do this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You can't. Because editing a PDF in the browser window isn't a supported workflow, Acrobat X only ever displays a single-row toolbar that does not include the Quick Tools region (the entire Tools Pane is omitted).

CS5's Ruler Tool and Straighten

In CS5 is it possible to turn off the auto crop function when you click the "Straighten" button when you are using the ruler tool?
Short of going to Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary... I see no settings for it, or other way to avoid it cropping.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

What I'm doing requires me to keep the image's dimensions at a rather specific aspect ratio so more often than not I use the space from the rationing to keep that, and fill it in with either black or white.
But, what I did discover is that the rotating and cropping are done as two separate actions. Meaning I can just Ctrl+z to undo the last action and I'll have that space back.
I'll have to look into writing a script similar to the one you suggested because that could take a few seconds off each time I do this, and I tend to do it in bulk.
Thanks again for advice.

How to test the rule if multiline container is passing to the task?

Hi Experts,
                  I am working on leave workflow. I have to get the approvers based on no of days of leave and leave type. I am getting these details in ITEMS_TAB internal table. I am passing this table to a rule. Now my problem is when I tried to simulate the rule I am not getting any input screen to enter the data.
ITEMS_TAB is an internal table type of   "PTREQ_ITEMS_WF_TAB_FLAT".
In the rule I have created a container by selecting the radiobutton "ABAP Dict. Data Type" and entered the above reference parameter is it right way?
Is it possible to test the rule independently if I use multiline container as import parameter in my rule? If so can anybody please tell me how to test the rule?
Thank You.
Srija.

Hi Pavan,
                 Thank you.
                 To copy the values I am not getting any input screen to input the values. I observed one thing that the type that I am referring in the Rule is a deep structure. Is this is the reason that I am not getting the input screen to enter the values?
I tested by creating aother rule by taking a field for that rule I am getting the input screen to simulate the Rule.
Can you please suggest if the rule will not work then what I have to do? without the rule how can I get the agents?
Thank you.
Srija

Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?

First try re-setting the Ruler Tool from the tool's fly-out menu.
If that doesn't do it, then trash and recreate Photoshop preferences.
If you had at least indicated your platform, I could be more specific, but here it goes anyway:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

CC 2014 Ruler tool Straighten button is dimmed in layered files (Mac and Win versions)

I have a Grayscale/8 bpc file with a Levels Adjustment layer.
In CC 2014 I use the ruler tool to drag out a line and the notice the Straighten button in the Options bar is dimmed whether I have the Background layer or the adjustment layer selected. If I flatten the image the Straighten button is active.
In CC, if I select the Background layer, the Straighten button is active. Not if I select the Adjustment layer. Same behavior in CS6. (So the problem looks to be in CC2014 only)
This is noted in both the Mac and Windows versions of CC 2014.1.0 (which would leave out the OS and hardware glitches.)
Tried a flat grayscale file, added an adjustment layer, and noticed the same problem in CC 2014. (that eliminates a buggy file)
The fact that at least with the Background layer selected in CC and CS6, the Straighten button is active, so this is looking like something specific to CC 2014.
Before I call it a "bug", I would like to know if anyone is seeing this or knows of a fix?

Ok, changing the background layer does activate the straighten button without having to flatten the document.
I'll keep this question open for more feedback before marking it.

Is it possible to calibrate the ruler tool in centimeters?
