Line tool still Snapping to Objects

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/DXcalibur/linetoolissues.jpg
It's been like this for a couple of days, I thought I could
just restart the program and it would work, but apparently not. It
still has that circle indicating it is snapping, but it does that
to everything even when there is no line to snap to, its really
jerky and I can't do anything so far.
Is there something wrong? What can I do to stop it?

Goto View --> Snapping and make sure its Snap To Align is
turned off.

Align Tool Still Missing Key Object :o(

I was hoping they might finally add this feature to InDesign, but sadly not in CS5... it works great in Illustrator, and would be so useful in InDesign as well... much more efficient than locking an object first, and then having to go unlock it afterwards...
I guess I'll put in another feature request (at least the fourth time for this particular suggestion).
For those who don't use Illustrator: if you want to align one or more objects to a specific object, keeping that target object unmoved, you can specify it as the key object so everything else aligns to it. You select everything you wish to align and the key object, then click once more on the key object. (Starting in CS4 the key object also gets a special highlight; strangely, in previous versions there was no visual indication). Then select the align option of your choosing and everything else will align to the key.
Very simple, elegant, efficient (although CorelDRAW's method is even better IMO: the last-selected object is automatically the key object). InDesign's method of locking the key object first is cludgy at best, even knowing the appropriate key commands.

That function (last object selected is anchor) would be cool; but I take it you all use the smart guides in CS4 and CS5? For what I do it is far better, as mostly I am only selecting 2 or 3 objects to align, and there is only one (or two) clicks and a drag, not a minimum of three clicks including a visit to a panel. I've recently upgraded from CS3 and the smart guides are what saves me the most time! Yet to learn to love the Content Grabber though....

How to draw a shape with line tool then fill with colour

How can i draw a shape with the line tool and then fill it with colour

Click and drag from one anchor point to the next, making sure that each new line segment begins where the last one ended. The Line Tool will snap onto the anchors.
Once you're done creating what looks like a closed path, the lines are still separate objects. To combine them into one path, select them all and press Ctrl/Cmd+J (for Join) or via the menu select Object > Path > Join.
The Pen Tool can be used in a similar manner, but each segment will be a continuation rather than a separate object. The last (closing) click will be indicated by a tiny circle on the mouse pointer.
If you make an open path, Ai will still "fill" it with a fill color by assuming a straight path between the last open anchor points. Individual straight paths, however, such as those drawn by the line tool, have no "inside", so they won't show the fill color even if you have assigned one.

Line Tool Issue

When using the line tool in 'pixels' mode, with 'anti-alias' unchecked, I drew a line holding the shift key for angle snapping. While drawing a lengthy 45 degree line, I'm able to offset the line by tiny increments of .3 +/- , resulting in a line that shifts from a clean 45 degree angle.
It seems the end closest to the cursor is locking onto the nearest pixel. Shouldn't that be disabled when holding shift for angle snapping?

If you have the snap to pixel grid preference enabled, then even the line tool will snap to the pixel grid.
(I know, it's odd, but that's the way the UI designers said it had to work)

Line tool "snap to pixel" option?

Hello,
This issue has been bugging me ever since Adobe introduced vector shapes in PS. Adding the "snap to pixels" option to the shapes has been awesome... but where's the love for the line tool? I'm still forced to use the marquee tool to make a sharp line 1px line.

It produces "good" lines, but not pixel pefect lines. I just tried creating a 1px line at 100% and still the line spilled out of it's pixel. I've attached what I see.

Running a command in a command line tool in fastest way

Before anything I want to clarify some terms :
apk
file (android application package file) : equivalent to executable (exe) files on windows
aapt.exe
: A command line tool which comes with android sdk in order to fetch information of an apk file (It obviously has other usages)
note : This question is not about an android feature. It's all about C# and functionality of .Net framework
An
apk file has a name just same as any other file, but it has a internal name (which will be shown when you install apk file on android os as name of application)
with
aapt.exe I can get internal name of an apk using following command :
aapt
d badging "<apk path>"
I
have copied aapt.exe where executable file of my c# application is and I want :
Enter
above command for each apk in selected directory (using GetAllFiles method)
I want to get internal names of apk files and
I've tried a lot of ways and I've searched a lot. finally this is what I've got :
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
proc.Start();
using (StreamWriter sw = proc.StandardInput)
foreach (string path in Directories.GetAllFiles(@"E:\apk", "apk"))
sw.WriteLine("aapt d badging " + "\"" + path + "\"");
//following line doesn't work because sStandardInput is open
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
// There will be a really huge amount of text (at least 20 line per sw.Writeline) and
//it impacts performance so following line is not really what I'm looking for
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
GetAllFiles is
a function that I've created to fetch all apk file full path. It gets two argument. First argument is path and second one is extension of file you want its full path to be fetched.
This is not final code.
As I've commented it out first Debug.WriteLine doesn't
work and second one is not a good idea. how should I get output from proc?
I have tried running process by argument and its awful :)
As another approach :
Because apk files are basically zip files I can extract them get what I want from them.
There is an xml file named Androidmanifest.xml in every apk file.
Androidmanifest.xml is like an ID card for an apk file and apk internal name can be found in it but here are some problems with this approach :
1. Androidmanifest.xml is not a plain text file. It's coded and it requires a lot of complexity to decode it
2. application name (or apk internal name) is an attribute in this file and it's value is not a string value. It's a reference to a file where strings are stored and worst thing is it's not an easy to find out reference. It's just a number

And you don't get any output from it? Maybe you're passing the arguments incorrectly?
No. I don't get any result and I have checked arguments and it's correct.
But you are already running a separate process for every apk file. You start a single cmd.exe and then send it commands that will cause aapt to be run for every file. Unless aapt accepts multiple apk filenames on the command line there's no way
around using separate processes.
I didn't know that. anyway speed in this way is much more rather than creating a function. creating a Process object in it and calling function for each apk file.
I read somewhere that it's possible to run multiple commands in cmd by & operator but as you said I think every command runs aapt. I have tested this approach too and it's very very slow
fastest approach I have found is what I have wrote here and speed is about 0.6 per apk file which is still slow when there is thousands of apk files.
I tried an application that does same thing (fetching apk information) and in it's installation directory I found aapt.exe which means it uses this tool to get information but speed is significantly faster rather than my application.
So what's your suggestion about this?

Line Tool Question

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm using freehand for my job and today when I select the line tool
to draw a line across a box, a small circle is appearing in the cross hatch.
Does anyone know what this is and how to stop it? It's never done it before.
Below is a picture to show what I mean.
thanks, Allison

Hi Allison,
If you have any of the snap-to functions enabled (snap to guide, object or grid) then FH draws a small circle when the cursor hovers over a snap target. I shows you the exact location where the snap will occur. I don’t see it before starting to drag a line, though.
You should see it on other tool cursors as well, such as pen, rectangle, ellipse, etc.
Do you have any snap-to functions enabled?

Error while exporting webi reports using BIAR command line tool.

HI,
We are trying to export webi objects to a biar file using the biar command line tool, biarengine.jar in XI 3.0. We are using the query select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind='webi'.
We are getting an error "unable to create plugin object".
Export of all other objects is going through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ashok

Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
-line color: yellow
-line thickness: 8pt
-opacity: 60%
and fot the arrow tool as this:
-line color: red
-line thickness: 1pt
-opacity: 100%
This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
-line color: yellow
-opacity: 60%
only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
Is there a way to get around this?

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

Bug with Illustrator Line Tool

Hi
I am trying to draw a shape using the illustrator line tool, and it always seems to revert to 1pt when I am using it within a shape, even when I manually change it to 0.5pt in the top bar, it does not change. I will go larger than 1pt but not smaller for some reason. It works when the line is by itself. As in not attached to a shape but as soon as you move it to connect with the rest of the shape it reverts to that large size. please help
Thanks
Rebecca

Oh thanks! I didn't realise this could effect specific tools as well as the placement of objects, Im having another problem which I thought would be solved by turning off the 'Align to Pixel Grid' but it didn't work

Command line tools for xcode??

I am used to compiling code much like the java sdk works from terminal where I say javac the filename and then i get a .class file that i can run by doing the command java and then the .class file after. I am now wanting to learn c++ and I dont feel like installing xcode all i want is a compiler that can run from terminal. i found command line tools for xcode on the apple developers site and i was wondering do i need xcode for this to run and after that what the commands are and how i compile/run the code. But my biggest question is still wether or not i need xcode to let command line tools work. ive read in a couple places i dont need it but in other ive read you do can i get help?!

You don't need Xcode to compile your apps with; just the compiler/linker.
Xcode is Apple's IDE. One could write the same code in TextEdit but that wouldn't be easy nor fun.
(Missed it by THAT much!)
