Limit on length or # of control points with paintbrush tool?

Often times when I'm drawing a path with the paintbrush, it will just stop after a certain length (or number of points, perhaps). I intially thought this was an issue with my tablet, but I am also able to replicate this using the mouse. What I find odd is that I can select the path, after this happens, and add to it with the paintbrush with no problems. Is there a setting that I can adjust, so that the paintbrush doesn't stop working on me in the middle of drawing a path? Thanks!

What wizard created items with even-longer names than were already on your page? FYI, items with names longer than 30 characters cannot be used as bind variables but should work otherwise. It's possible that we're binding using those names using one of these new-fangled constructs (like form pagination) and that the exception is being masked. In any case the Builder could be more helpful in this regard.

Anchor points with pen tool askew

Hey everyone, I have been using illustrator for about 5 years now and this has never happened to me before. I use CS4 and i opened it today to trace a logo and out of nowhere, whenever i go to connect a point with the pen tool, it makes a point about a quarter of an inch in the opposite direction of where i clicked down. Usually I can make a point, then try to connect it with another and it goes exactly where i clicked down for point #2...now it's impossible to correctly trace anything since I have little control over the pen tool anymore.
I read in another forum when researching this problem that in in View > snap to point may cause this but even after unselecting it, i still have the same problem. I also tried resetting Illustrator like I read may help and nothing. I can't find the presets folder on my computer I did the key combination while opening the program.
Thank you for your time!

Melissa,
It could be a preference corruption or a disturbance from other applications or something similar.
To reset the former the former, you may try to Move the folder with Illy closed, or just press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (the latter is easier but changes your preference settings to defaults (spoiling any customized settings, and it may be necessary to perform the more thorough Move).
To solve things in case of the latter, you may have a look at the relavnt items, including 7, in Other options.
Or it could be something else.

How to convert an anchor point to have a single control point...

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert an existing anchor point on a path from a dual control point with directional handles either side of the point to a single control point with one directional handle?
In Illustrator this is easy, all you do is drag one directional handle into the anchor point and it deletes that handle leaving just the other handle to control the shape.
In Photoshop this appears to be much harder to achieve as dragging the handle into the anchor point doesn't work and no matter what combination of keyboard shortcuts I've tried I'm not able to get rid of just one of the handles.
I am able to achieve what I want by splitting the path then Alt clicking on the end point of the path but this strikes me as being really clumsy compared to Illustrator's perfect solution. Even InDesign works better, as you just Alt Click on the directional handle once and it deletes it.
What seems totally bewildering is why all these pieces of software (made by the same people) work differently?

Yes it seems your suggestion to drag the directional point so that it sits directly on top of the anchor point is the best one can do. It doesn't actually delete the direction point like it does in AI merely makes the direction point so small it doesn't actually do anything. Not ideal really.
Maybe all the separate development teams should meet up for a coffee some time and just iron out all these indifferences, I reckon they could get it done in an afternoon, I'd be happy to write them a list. And don't even get me started on how the Workspaces differ from app to app!

Is there any way I can control which specific access point I connect (and stay connected) to from amongst a set of access points with the same SSID?

I'm working from a boat in a harbor in which the ISP has deployed numerous access points around the periphery. All the access points share the same SSID and each is configured to use either channel 1, 6 or 11. From my location, there are over a dozen of these access points "visible" (based on the the output of WiFi Scanner) with a range of RSSI and S/N values that vary over time.
The ISP has told me that the quality of my connection should be "perfectly fine" for any access point with an RSSI value better than -75, but I know from experience that my connection quality is miserable (i.e. < 50Kbps download) for almost all of these, including those with RSSI values better than -75. There is at least one exception, however, which gives me on the order of 2Mbps download, which is "great" in this context.
I've tried using a more powerful USB antenna plugged into my MacBook Air (mid 2011), but as far as I can tell, it really doesn't make much difference. Neither does my location within the boat. The overriding factor seems to be which access point I happen to connect up to.
I should point out that the closest access points are about 75 yards away, with many of them being several hundred yards away or more. I'm guessing that even though the signal strength of some of the distant access points is causing them to get "chosen" some times, the results are unacceptable due to the distance.
I'm hoping that I can determine, through experimentation, which access point(s) provide(s) acceptable performance and then configure my Mac to limit my connection to those points through whatever mechanism I need to use (e.g. channel, MAC id, etc.).

Establishing a wireless connection with a client computer is left to the access point for various reasons. One reason that your Mac may not connect to the strongest access point is that it may have reached a limit of the number of clients it can serve, leaving it unable to accept a connection with another. The limit may not be very large.
Suppose that happens, and your Mac establishes a connection with a more distant access point having a weaker signal. Then, suppose a client drops off the network. Doesn't this mean your Mac will switch to the stronger access point? Not necessarily. The throughput delivered to and from your Mac would have to drop below a threshold specified in the AP for it to drop the client, leaving your Mac free to connect with another one. The reason for this is to prevent rapid switching from one AP to another in an area in which two signals are of approximately equal quality. If that were to occur the frequent and repetitive handshaking between the two devices would slow throughput to zero.
In an environment in which several access points are broadcasting the same SSID, Apple provides no insight as to how it determines which access point to choose. This is the reason I suspect this "choice" is a function of the router, or access point. The connection originates with it, not the Mac.
Now, what would solve your dilemma would be to determine a way to control the access point with which your Mac connects, by specifying the access point's unique MAC address for example. In this happy circumstance, you could maintain an editable "whitelist" or "blacklist" of the harbor's access points and be able to choose which among them you prefer.
I do not believe OS X maintains such a record of MAC addresses though, only those of the routers it uses. If I am correct about that, such a solution is unlikely to exist. Don't let that discourage you from searching for one though... I would concentrate on something like "selecting access point by specific MAC address".
I did find this patent application though:
Roaming Network Stations Using A Mac Address Identifier To Select New Access Point
Perhaps it's a start

Continuity with control points

ive been looking at a couple of site but im haveing a real hard time
understanding continuity.
im trying to make algorithim to connect two patches and do so smoothly
so were they meet may be smooth or maybe a sharp edge.
heres a site that talks about it but its way over my head.
http://www.cgg.ru/vermel/articleeng.htm#1
http://www.people.nnov.ru/fractal/Splines/Bint.htm
this one says that the d points that he shows in fig1'
must be calculated but i dont understand how to do this without loseing
the control point for use by the user. say he had two beziers on each side of one of those i would lose both the center control points.
this is my problem i have two line's each with 4 control points
A B C D
each are vectors xyz now i can interpolate between them smoothly
with this formula.

oops hit post not preview anyways
maybe i should be posting this to the algorithm section.
and it just hit me what i need i think is nurbs not bicubic patches.

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

How to limit the length of editable text in CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT ?

Hi;
I have used an instance of CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT on a container. But I want to limit the length of text that can be entered in the text edit ? The method LIMIT_TEXT is protected so I can not call it in the abap source code.
Is there any other way to limit the length of text in Text Edit Control ?
Kind Regards.
Erkan.

Hi,
Protected methods are essentially for inherited classes only. To access a protected method, inherit a class from this class and then create and instance of the child class and then using the instance object, call the protected method.
Hopefully it should work.
Thanks,
Chandra

HT201991 What is the character limit for length for video or song reviews?

What is the character limit for length for video or song review?

One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

Disable extra control points when selecting objects

The new control points that Illustrator has when selecting an object (in addition to the regular handles), how do I disable or hide them? I am working on artwork with many small pieces and these are REALLY getting in the way of moving and adjusting them. Looked through preferences and don't see a way to do it (for that matter, what are these annoying things called?)

Can pulse measurement.vi measures 2M points with 10ns time interval?

Hi,
I used pulse measurement.vi to measure the pulse duration of waveforms when the waveforms exceed certain threshold level. The data file has 2 millions data points with 10ns time interval. But I got error message saying that
"The waveform did not cross the mid reference level enough time to perform this measurement. Check the signal length, mid reference level, and reference level unit."
I was wondering if pulse measurement.vi is capable of handling such large file or it was due to my paramenter errors.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I realized that I can't really modify the percent level settings or specfication of the pulse measurement.vi. For instance, I changed the percent level setting to peak instead of the default auto select. After running the VI unsuccessfully and I reopened the pulse measurement.vi, I saw the percent level setting was set to auto select again instead of peak method. I have attached the image of the block digram and a very small part of the waveform data. I hope you can open both.
Thank you.

Using more than 2 control points in Interpolater.Spline

Hello,
what I'm working on is a bouncing ball, I figured it might work controlling the interpolator to create a multiple control points using the spline. ( a function with x ^n^ , where n is the number of control points)
In a spline I can use only two control points, is there a way to make it use more than that, or do i have to use another way.
Thanks for all help.

Well, I guess it wasn't so hard - at least when there are libraries written by others to borrow from . . .
This interpolator requires the apache commons math 3.2 lib - you can download commons-math3-3.2-bin.zip from here:
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/download_math.cgi
Extract commons-math3-3.2.jar from the zip and put it on your class path.
This interpolator differs a little from the Interpolator.SPLINE interpolator that comes with JavaFX.
Instead of control points which bend the curve but do not lie on the curve, the interpolator takes a set of points and plots a curve of best fit directly through the points.
import javafx.animation.Interpolator;
import org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.interpolation.SplineInterpolator;

BestFitSplineInterpolator(double[] x, double[] y) {
    f = new SplineInterpolator().interpolate(x, y);

    return f.value(t);

Limit string-length in Reporting Data Source

Hello,
we want to report some attributes to the BI. For this we use the standard reporting activity in the BPM. After we done a lot of configuration on the CE and the BI we achieved to connect the two systems. All attributes are passed correctly to the BI and now we have a problem with the string-length we pass to the BI. The string-length they get from the CE is 512 but the BI can only handle strings with a 60-length. Is it possible to limit the length of a string in the BPM or the CE?
Manuel

Hello Jun,
I have created reporting data source in my BPM where my parameter defined is of type "STRING'.
This data source is accessed by BW system for reporting purpose where they get an error as below -
"STRING/XTRING types used Not supported by currently selected access method UDCGEN; cannot use this method"
Looks like BW does not support string type, how can we make this datatype compatible?
Please share if you have any idea.
Thanks,

What are the integration points with sd and qm

hi,
sap gurus,
good morning to all,
what are the integration points with SD and QM.
in r/3.
regards,
balaji.t
09990019711

Dear balaji
Before doing PGI, there will be a preinspection stage where SD will have to integrate with QM. Similarly after sales, whenever there is sales returns, QM will come into picture.
To control the above scenarios, in material master, go to "Quality management" view and click on "Insp.setup" where you need to assign Inspection Types like 04, 06 etc.
thanks

Making a 3D path (or how do i get Zdepth on a control point?)

I'm sure this is either really simple or totally impossible:
I want to draw a path, that has 4 control points. Control point #2 forms a 90degree angle between points 1 and 3 (no problem here).
However I'd like to have Control point #4 "above" control point 3. I don't see a control for Z depth in Geometry panel, and if i try to edit it manually, all i get is the pen tool with a slash through it.
Can this be done and if so, how?
Thx

If you are using one of the shape tools, they only have 2 dimensions for each control point.
However, you can create a 3D path with the motion path behavior - just depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
