Is it possible to create a gradient mesh object with 2 spot colors which separates & prints as a 2 color print job?

I have a gradient mesh object which uses 2 spot color values (including some tints of those 2 colours) which I'd like to print as a 2 color print job. Is this possible? If not, any suggestions as to how I should proceed? The print job MUST be 2 color. Ideally I don't want to use raster objects but if I have to would appreciate any advice on the easiest way to transform my 2 color mesh object into a matching duotone raster object.

I'd really say it's that PPD with the new n-space features of CS3 and CS4. If I use your PPD I get the same shoddy results you do with the postscript file. In fact, Acrobat Distiller errors with a log...

If I use your PPD, print your AI file to a postscript file, then simply open the resulting Postscript file with AICS4, I see the same bad results that I showed in the movie. I think the PPD can't handle the new method of breaking out spots in gradients. Just to test this theory... try a different PPD and see if that works, at least to show the seps properly.

Creating gradient mesh object, object turns into gradient mesh object w/ white fill

Creating gradient mesh object, object turns into a gradient mesh object w/ white fill automatically.
I would like this to be a stroke object as I cannot see the picture that I am trying to recreate.
Illustrator is not allowing me to change the white fill into a stroke after I create the gradient mesh object.
Here is the image when I try to create the gradient mesh object, I do not have the white fill option chosen and the image still
becomes a white fill gradient mesh object.
Please can anyone help??
Thank you.

Sure. A gradient mesh won't have strokes. It will always have fills. If you want no fill, you need to set the opacity of a single mesh point to 0%. But you actually don't want to do that for the complete grid, because it will be very time consuming to adjust this back to 100 percent for every single meshpoint when coloring them.
Instead the usual setup is with the two layers. This allows you to see the gridlines and the template. Then you first adjust the grid (color doesn't matter for this). Then you pick up the colors from the template to color the single mesh points. From time to time you switch into preview to admire your work.

Bristle brush merge to single gradient mesh object?

Hi there, I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I'm using the bristle brush to create some organic highlighting on my objects. Since the file gets too large & unmanageable, I tried thinking of other ways to reduce it down to just one gradient mesh object. I've seen suggestions of converting the bristle brush strokes to Raster, but I need this to be scaleable.
I've attached an image that shows an example of the bristle brushed object (painted inside an object), the outline view and the crazy Expanded view.
Any suggestions on how to combine this into one gradient mesh object? Any other ideas? I can't seem to find anything in the forums or on the web that addresses this.
Thanks so much!
Lisa

THis is nearly automatic:
Not that I would advise to create a mesh like this, but for this kind of structure quite OK.

Is it possible to create a variable in bex with the last work day?

Hi Gurus
Is it possible to create a variable in bex with the last work day?
Actually end-user every day open queries,
    - Put in selection date day - 1 or
    - put last Friday if the day is Monday or
    - put last Thursday if the day is Monday and Friday is holiday (in a calendar for example 25 the December).
Please do the needful. It is urgent
Thanks in advance

    l_act_date = sy-datum.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_COMPUTE_DAY'
         EXPORTING DATE = l_act_date
         IMPORTING DAY = l_DayOfWeek.
    CASE l_DayOfWeek.

Is it possible to create a 1 D array with the "build array VI"? when receiving random number

Hello all,
Is it possible to create a 1 D array with the "build array VI" when receiving random number?
I am receiving random data and the build array VI always create a 2D array which might cause some problem if you want to compute certain type of operation after.
Any example will be welcomed.
Thank you,
Israel

Hello Lynn and Yamaeda
First I want to Thank you Lynn for your linguistic contribution indeed "Build Array" is a primitive and not VI, thank you for the education. In reality what I am doing is simple.
I have two arrays of complex elements Array1 and Array2.
Array1 conains the complex elements ""(a0+ib0) ; (a1+ib1) ;...(an+ibn) ;
Array2 conains the complex elements ""(c0+id0) ; (c1+id1) ;...(cn+idn)
What I want to do is the multiplication of the first array by the conjugate of the second array element.
Array1*(Conjugate Array 2)" for the first element the results is "(a0.C0-b0.d0) + i(b0c0-a0d0)" and the etc...
and then taking the square root ([(a0.C0-b0.d0) power of 2]) + [(b0c0-a0d0) power of 2])
I was wondering if there were some dedicate primitive that could solve the computation above which is the cross correlation in Frequency domain.
Thank you very much.

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

Is it possible to create a pop up screen with alv tree within it?

I was wondering whether it is possible to create a pop up screen where an ALV tree is within the pop up screen and the user may select a record from it..
is there a function module for such function?

you may use class cl_gui_alv_tree and display it in a popup screen. Look at RSDEMO_DIALOGBOX_CONTROL program (popup + cl_gui_picture control), and you combine it with BCALV_TREE_04 (cl_gui_alv_tree) to replace cl_gui_picture. You may access all demos from menu SE38, Environment, Examples (and finally Controls Examples in your case)

How to create a gradient field in CS5 that doesn't striate when printed?

Can someone explain how to create a large gradient field in CS5 that won't striate when printed? I created a poster, 18" x 24" in which the bottom third gradates from olive to black. When it prints there are thick paralell bands which are undesirable. The tips I found online go back to 2009 which don't apply to CS5. The directions in the CS5 manual are confusing to me. Is there a simple way to do this?

Is your monitor well calibrated?
Did you print it locally on your own printer before sending it out?
After you've exhausted everything else, you might consider creating a small test file with the offending gradient, and physically carry it to one of the printing locations, and speak to a technician there. Honestly, it sounds like a profile mismatch, but if this has happened at multiple Kinkos locations, then I agree, it would seem the problem is most likely in the file.
Have you looked at individual channels? (R,G,B)
One other idea: you say it's olive to black ... you could try an olive gradient from 100% opacity to 0% opacity, placed over a solid black layer, (or alteratively, a similar black gradient over solid olive) and see if that improves the output. Beware, some printers are really bad at 0%-5% values. If the gradient is going from 100% of one color to 0%, this might be contributing to the problem. Try going from 100% to 5% if this is the case.
One last thing: can you post a portion of the offending area of the image here?

CP5.5 - Is it possible to create a quiz summary screen with all questions reviewed on one screen?

Hello Forum members,
I was wondering if it is possible, rather than having a quiz review where you review the quiz questions one screen at a time, if it is possible to create a quiz summary screen, which will provide a summary of which questions were answered incorrectly/correctly (without actually giving the user the correct answers)?
An example of what I'd like to achieve is below:
Is this possible in CP5.5? Perhaps with Advanced Actions/variables?
many thanks
Loraine

Hello Loraine,
This is possible using Advanced Actions and variables. After every question, On Success you can set a variable to 1 and create a custom screen where you can show/hide the tick mark graphic based on the variable value set.
For Ex:
- For question 1, on success, set x=1
- On the results screen, correct tick mark graphic is hidden. If x=1, then show the correct tick mark.
Like this you can do for all the questions. Will wait for others also to comment for any quicker solution.
Thanks,
Vish

Is it Possible to create a Report Name starting with M.

HI ,
Just Now I have created a report naming with MYreport. I have expected that system will ask the Access Key since starting letter is M . But System allowed me to create the Report MYREPORT.
As per My Knowledge, Only Y and Z letters for Report. But now how system allowed me to create a report starting With M without access key.
With Regards,
Neptune.M

Hi,
You can name a program with 'MZ' or 'MY'. Infact all the includes of custom module program will be having names starting with 'MZ' or 'MY'. Try creating a program with other than these combination, the system will surely check.
Addendum:
For example if you create a module pool program with name
SAPMZTEST, then the include names will be
MZTEST_TOP, MZTEST_O01, MZTEST_I01, MZTEST_F01 and so on..
Similarly, for Z function group sap creates dynamically creates the following programs:
SAPLZTEST - Main program
LZTESTTOP
LZTESTO01
LZTESTI01
LZTESTUXX where X containing includes LZTESTU01,LZTESTU02 stands for 01, 02 and corresponds to function module under the function group.
Thanks and regards,
S. Chandramouli.

Possible to create an Application from Spreadsheet with Korean?

When I try to use the wizard from importing a .csv file with Korean, Arabic, Japanese, etc. I choose UTF-8 as the File Character set, but the text comes in as "????-?????" Is there a way to get around this? Thanks.

user561559,
There are two possible explanations for this:
1) You're inserting this data into a database with a character set which cannot support the encoding of these characters
or
2) The data you're importing via CSV is not encoded in UTF-8. If you're generating these CSV files from MS Excel, then the default CSV encoding will be specific to your client locale. If Arabic, it will be Arabic Windows 1256. If Korean, it will be Korean EUC (or Korean Windows 959). If Japanese, then it will be most likely Shift JIS.
It will almost never be utf-8 coming from Excel, unless you explicitly export the data into utf-8.

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.

How to create a live trace object with transparent background?

Hi, I am trying to create a live trace object of my logo in ai. The logo is coming from photoshop on a transperent background, and it is all black. What I want to do is to bring it into ai and make it an object for obvious reasons. The problem I have had is that when I live trace it, the live trace leaves a white background which then overlaps with other objects in my ai file. Is there a way to live trace while preserving the transparent area or possibly better, to not include white space in the live trace? Thanks in advance!

Yep open the properties for live trace (Object>Live Trace>Tracing options). You will find a checkbox for ignore white.

Is it possible to create a Photo Gallery DVD with downloadable content?

I am looking for a way to create a photo gallery, distribute it via DVD, and have the end user be able to download the photos from within the photo gallery. This would function exactly like the iPhoto web galleries, but would be distributed on DVD rather than posted to the web. Is this possible? I am looking for a way for a user to download the photos, in low res and high res, from within the DVD player.

My first suggestion is to use Apple's Pro apps (ie, DVDSP) if you plan to use this DVD commercially. You'll get far better results and you will also be able to meet nearly all of the above objectives.
If on the other hand you don't have the time to learn apple's pro apps which does have a large learning curve compared to the i-apps, and you are currently working with a shoestring budget, then you can meet at least some of these objectives within iDvd by adding your content to the Dvd rom section of the Dvd. The app that one uses to play the slideshow from this data section of the Dvd depends largely on the available apps on the host computer system having access to this data in terms of what software is available to play its content. Hope this makes sense but if not, just come on back. Good luck.
Btw ... I'll check back with you later tonight since I have a fair amount of editing to do this AM.

Is it possible to create a pop-up menu with sub-headings

I am trying to setup a pop-up menu in Number that would give me the ability to first create subheadings, that I can then enter my selection list in.
Example:
Subheading 1
     eg 1
     eg 2
     eg 3
Subheading 2
     eg 1
     eg 2
     eg 3
Subheading 3
     eg 1
     eg 2
     eg 3
I did try to search for a solution to this, but nothing came up that I recognized quickly. So, I'm hopeful that someone out there in the Apple community has a quick work-around for acomplishing this.
Thanks,

Strictly speaking this i not possible. You could precede each entry that is indented with a space to make the menu appead to have sub entries.
