Making a Magnifying Glass

Hey all,
I am trying to make a magnifying glass, not a detailed image, just an icon.  The image nelow shows what I want to do.  I want to rotate the dark line of the handle that I want to create around the red axis, or draw this in such a way so it appears like a handle. If this were a 3d Modeling software like Rhino, I'd have absolutely no trouble with this. However, illustrator is all I have to work with.  Any helpful hints?

First,make sure you're drawing the profile so it lies along the vertical axis and not at the angle you want the finished revolved object to appear.
Next in the Effect/3D window, show the options and select "Left edge" (depending on how it was drawn)
Rotate it into place by manipulating the cube (or numerically)
Once you hit OK, if you want to change the angle or other attributes, you need to select the object profile, go to Window/Appearance and select "3D revolve" in the pallete to bring up the 3D Revolve Options again. Just rotating the profile itself will cause problems.

  • The search function in the itunes store does not work.  It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search.  Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing.  Re-installing itunes has not helped.

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    try reinstalling iTunes.

  • Safari no longer shows the browser when I open it. No magnifying glass. Where has it gone?

    My Father-in-law used my computer yesterday and now when I open Safari it no longer shows the magnifying glass/browser. I have tried to restore from backup and reinstalling but these do not work. It seems as though he did something to turn disable it. I know I know "ours is not to reason why.." But how do I get it back? Thanks.

    Choose either one of these, and drag it into the top of your toolbar:  See the search windows in both of these?

  • Create a magnifying glass on an image.

    I am pretty new to Flex. I am trying to create a magnifying
    glass for an image viewer. I want to move the cursor over an image
    that will zoom in on a 200X200 area. I don't want to zoom in on the
    whole image. I can see I can probably do it with the Bitmap class,
    but I do not see how I can cut out a piece of the original bitmap
    to display. Also, Flex seems to have a lot of similar features like
    Zoom, but I can't see how to use any of these cool features to do
    just what i want to do. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The way I do this in Flash is to have a masked enlarged image
    on a seperate layer with the magnifier acting as the mask. The mask
    object is draggable, so it reveals to larger image as you move it
    around. There is some math involved to make it track like it is
    actually revealing the smaller image.
    The layering looks like this:
    mask object
    large image
    small image
    mask is a property of flash.display.DisplayObject and
    mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject. I haven't played with this yet in Flex,
    but I'm sure it should work similarly to what I've used in
    Flash.

    How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop?  I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

    Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
    1.  Open Photoshop.
    2.  Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
    3.  Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
    4.  Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
    5.  Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
    6.  Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
    7.  Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
    8.  Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
    9.  Open Photoshop and everything should be readable.

  • How to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table ?

    Dear Friends,
    Hello. I am developing the accounting application of journal entry. In journal line, I use the image "magnifying glass" next to each chart field. When we click on the magnifying glass, it's supposed to come up a look up table( a chart and name mapping table), and we select the proper chart to input into the chart field.
    I understand to create another record and page for the look up table. But I don't understand how to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table. Can anybody tell me how to do that ? Thanks.
    Lucy

    This is how it works,
    Table A (which stores chart fields). You have used fields from table A on a page so that users can input data.
    You don't need to put a magnifying glass image or create a new page to achieve look up page.
    all you need to do is create another table say Table B which should have the chart field and corresponding description you want to show on lookup page. Then open record-field property of the chart field on Table A and mention Table B as prompt table.

  • How can I get the magnifying glass in Preview to work?

    I have the problem that the magnifying glass in Preview is simply a grey circle. It's not magnifying anything. Does anyone of you know where the problem is? How can I get it to work? Deleting the .plist files in the Prefs didn't do the trick. Thank you very much.

    I don't believe there is such a thing on the Mac Pro (trash can), but I did finally get something to work with a not-very-instinctive combination of System Preferences (select USB mic), Audio MiDi Setup (select USB mic), and Premier Pro Preferences, Audio Hardware (DO NOT select the USB mic, but rather the System Default Input/Output). No other combination worked (I tried them all), and when I tried changing Audio MiDi settings while Premier Pro was running, I'd occasionally get the endless spinning wheel that required a re-start. Even with all this, one channel was peaked-out with noise (source?) which I couldn't eliminate with any settings (can do it in post, however). Overall a disappointing experience. I don't know why the Audio MiDi Setup has to be involved, or why this was so difficult with my set-up (I'm not ruling out user error).
    Any further advice is more than welcome,
    David

  • How do I create a magnifying glass zoom effect?

    I'm building an image 'showcase of work' website site. Each html page features a selection of thumbnails on one side linked to a main image on the other.  I am trying to find out how to create something like a zoom effect 'magnifying glass' so that the user can hover over the main image to zoom in within a confined circle or square in more detail, which moves with the mouse whilst hovering over the image. I'm sure you all know what I mean!  (just in case, please see attached html file showing the page layout)  (I also don't want to get too techy/over complicate things as I'm learning as I go). I want to be able to use this feature throughout the site, therefore, I guess it's another CSS rule that I need to apply...?
    I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to find some sort of step by step 'how to' do this.  I can't seem to find just what I'm looking for... maybe I'm not calling it by the right terminology!
    I'm currently using Design Premium CS4 (predominantly Dreamweaver, Photoshop and a little Flash)
    Cheers....

    Hi
    Magiczoom and lightbox are used for showing enlarged versions of images etc. similar to using a separate pop-up window (but without the annoyance of pop-up windows).
    Anythingzoomer is a magnifying glass effect and works as such.

  • Can't delete history when using magnifying glass icon on home screen. Anyone know how to? Thanks.

    If I click on the magnifying glass icon to do a search for something - the icon of the place I searched stays in the window and I can't seem to delete it.  Does anyone know how to delete that history? I can delete my browser history by clicking on the little box in the lower left hand corner of that screen, then clicking on history then selecting and clicking "Clear History." That option is not available when you use the magnifying glass icon.  Help! Thanks.

    When using "SearcH" (the magnifying glass), you can cler your your search history.  Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap "Settings", then "Delete Search History".  I think this is what you're looking for.

  • Is anyone having trouble with there messenger app. The message freezing when i try to use the magnifying glass

    Hi Oli_boss,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it is frustrating when you cannot use the Messages application as you would expect. The first thing I would suggest would be to open the multitasking screen and quit the Messages app. After It quits, relaunch it fresh and test. If the Messages application is still having the same performance issues, try restarting the iPhone. Those steps and others can be found in the following article.

    Hi Naval,
    While creating the table maintanance , User 'two screen' Option button and specify two screens. The system will creates magnifying glass butoon automatically (Used for showning details of a record).
