Moving line objects

Hi,
I am using Keynote 2 and have problems moving objects consiting of thin lines (like a circle) out of an area with many similar objects with the mouse. It is already difficult to mark a specific object with the mouse, but grabbing it without marking another object in that area seems to be impossible.
Hope I missed something trivial.

I'm not sure what you mean by "mark" the objects. If an object is locked, even if it is selected, it will not move when you move some other object. You can, for example, selected a locked object along with an unlocked one, and the cursor keys will only move the unlocked item. To make an unlocked shape easier to move, you can even select it along with locked items, and then fill the shape -- all the locked shapes will remain unchanged. Once filled, it is easy to grab the unlocked shape with the cursor, move it, and then unfill it again.

Line objects not showing in pdf output in xmlp 5.6.1

Hello,
Is there a bug or just a version issue when trying to produce pdf output using xmlp 5.6.1 Enterprise Edition from a template built in xmlp 5.6.2 stand alone? Different versions of pdf too. The xmlp 5.6.1 EE uses Adobe 7.0.7 and I use 7.0.0 for my dpf output. The issue is that the template built using 5.6.2 has line objects in the rtf file. When this template is registered in xmlp 5.6.1 EE and the report is generated the lines don't show up in the pdf.
Any one?
Ryan

I opened a TAR and here is the answer. My template definition was wrong because I directly used my data template xml file to define my template using template builder.
Here are all the steps to use XML data template under apps.
To use data templates, do the following:
1- Create the data template similar to the following structure
2- Login to responsibility "XML PUBLISHER ADMINISTRATOR" -> Data Definition
2.1 upload the data template (that is made in step1)
2.2 Insert a new code that is not find the concurrent request short name.
3- Login to system administrator -> concurrent -> program -> define (define a new concurrent request as following)
3.1 use execute XDODTEXE (it takes the data definition in step 2 and shall execute the query to obtain XML output)
3.2 Output format = XML
3.3 request short name as that defined in step (2.2)
4- Add the request to a request group
5- The the concurrent request and get the created XML output
6- Use the created XML Output in (step 5) to create your template layout using Template builder vers
ion 5.5
7- After creating the template go to responsibility "XML PUBLISHER ADMINISTRATOR" -> Templates
7.1 define a new template
7.2 use the same data definition that you created at (step 2)
7.3 Use the same code as in step (2.2)
After all the above steps you shall get the output as you wish. The main link between Data template and the concurrent request that execute the data template to generate the XML output is the request short name and the data template code.
Hint:
request short name = data template code.

Out of line object 'DataSource' -- but when re-saving table properties, no issues

I've got a PowerPivot workbook that's connecting to an Oracle database, then calculating a few measures. When I "test the connnection" in PowerPivot, it's fine. When I go to "Table Properties" and re-save, it seems to pull the dataset
fine. But refreshing within Excel gives me,
We couldn't refresh the table 'AthleticGPABlahBlah' from the connection 'Student_PLSQLBlahBlah'. Here's the error message we got: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'c6427542-blahblah', has been specified but not used. The following
system error occurred: Unspecified error
My data types seem right, and I don't have any big dates. Is my workbook just corrupt? I'd love to not re-do it, so any tips to getting this fixed would be great!

Hi Hensen,
You mentioned that you don't have any big dates but do you have any dates that are too small? What happens when you use the Table Properties to restrict dates to all be on or after 1/1/2000, for example?

Image in report header appears in front of underlaying section line objects

Hello
I am trying to simulate a company letter header with company logo in page header. I have added line objects in the underlaying sections so the user can see when the detail data/section ends.
I have inserted an image into a report header
I have set the page header to 'Underlay Following Sections'
when I preview the report, line objects in underlying sections appear behind the page header image
when I preview the report, text objects in underlying sections appear in front of the page header image
Has anybody any ideas or better ways of achieving same results please?
Ta very much.

text objects are not behaving the same way, as a workaround I have set the top/bottom/left/right border property to single and used these instead of boxes or lines.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your patience while this was being investigated. So the way Crystal Report's layout was designed was that items are put in a stack of multiple objects with the ability to move forward and back as needed. For some technical reason lines and boxes were left out of this which means they will always be in the back. Unfortunately we don't know the technical reasons that this was done as it goes back to some of our earliest versions, we are investigating this though.
The difficulty know is trying to find the reason for this, and determining if this can be changes with out breaking backwards compatibility. In the mean time the developer has suggested a work around and are wondering if this would work for you?
1. Insert a text object and enter nothing.
2. Change the size (the height matches the line width) and background (background color matches the line color).
3. Right click on the text object and select Move | To Front. And then the "line" will be on top of the picture.
Kind Regards,
Trevor

Checks to be done before moving the objects from DEvV to PROD systems

Hi,
Please provide the standard methods and checks to be done in the transport requests before moving the objects from DEv to PROD.
Please help us here.

In se10 find your request and
Upper left corner - Request\task -> Complete check -> Object (syntax check) and Check Request Consistency.
This you can do for your request and all the tasks included in your request.
Note: Transport may still fail due to numerous reason (i.e) not all the objects needed are collected in the request,
but at atleast it gives some assurance that objects are not blocked in other requests etc...

Moving an object from $tmp

Hi Experts,
Suppose i saved an object by mistake in $tmp. How to move this object to quality.
plz give solution for this

Hi Lokesh,
Well everybody said the right thing i.e. if you want to transport any object from $tmp,you have to go to se38 and than-
1.Click on Goto->Object Directory Entry.
2.Click on change i.e. pencil icon and then,
3.Give your package name in the package option.
4.After that you are provided one transport request by the system.
5.Click on continue.
Through this way you can make the object transportable.
But may be sometimes you want one object only local i.e. not to transport($tmp),and mistakenly you make that object transportable.So in order to make it again local,you have to do following things:
1.Go to se09 or se10.
2.Display all the transport request made by you.
3.Now find your transport request in all these.
4.After that you find your program name in them.
5.Now delete that program.
6.After that you go to se38 and do the same procedure as do in your solution i.e. moving a object from $tmp.
7.Give your package name here as $tmp.
Through this way you can again make a object local.
If you don't follow the steps 1-5 than you are not able to make a object loacl again,because the object is locked by the transport request.
Regards.

Moving lines in a report

i've recently upgraded to the managed components from Crystal XI R2 from the old com components...
Before i could shift lines by manipulating the left,right, top or bottom properties of a particular line object.
In the past i used to shift a vertical line to the left or right by changing the left and right properties of the line object.
However, if i try to do this now with the managed components i get an exception stating that the line object coordinates are invalid, you can only have a vertical or horizontal line.
I believe in the past i would change the left and right property one after another and not have any problem as long they were identical, keeping the line vertical. Now as soon as i modify one of the properties the exception is raised without giving me the opportunity to change the other property...
can you no longer move lines in this manner, or not at all?
thanks
Shawn

Hello Shawn,
please download a CS sample fos VS 2005 [How to add a Border|ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/NET-CS2005_RAS-Unmanaged_CR115_Add_Border.zip].
This sample demonstrates how to add a border around a field including left and right line. I think it answers all your questions.

    End Sub

Are you shure the business object does already exist in db on et_FORM_DATA_ADD beforeAction (Does getByKey return true)? Do DocNum and DocEntry make sense?
Maybe you change
If BusinessObjectInfo.BeforeAction Then
to
If Not BusinessObjectInfo.BeforeAction Then
or does that affect your idea of approving?

Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.

Hi,
My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
I have already reset the preferences.
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply.
I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!

I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

HT4097 Ipad screen has moving lines on it and is unresponsive

I have the 3rd generation Ipad with iOS 6 on it. I was using it yesterday when i closed my case, and left it for about 10 minuets. When i came back and opened my case, the screen was completley messed up! It has moving lines all over the screen that are a mixture of white, and grey. then it has an even darker moving pixel going across top top of my Ipad, about one inch from the top to be exact. the Ipad will lock and unlock using the top button, but thats all it does. The ipad will also not power off easily. The only thing close to it turing off was when i did a hard shut down and held the home button and the lock button at the same time, but after the screen turns off and i let go of the buttons, the ipad turns back on and goes back to the same lines everywhere.
I purchased the ipad about 3 months ago and this is the first problem i have had. I have NEVER dropped it and the case i use is an Apple smart cover that uses a magnet to stay connected to the Ipad. I have also tried putting it in recovery mode and wiping my Ipad but have had no luck with any change. Please someone help me and figure out what i need to do.

I hope someone can help as I have the same problem with my iPad!

Moving multiple objects in a Finder window

Try a simple experiment in Tiger (10.4): in a Finder window with the icon view + snap to grid ON, select multiple grouped objects (e.g. 10-20) and move them to a different place in the same window.
They will not stay grouped but be sometimes dispersed in a random way or even move to places belonging to different grids.
Another experiment is to move a single object from one window into another one: this changes the grid of the second window from time to time.
This is extremely annoying when you want to keep the icons ordered.
This bug existed also in Panther.
I'm convinced it will exist in the next Mac OS X release. Do you bet ?

Hi DarkStar,
In my case there are no other major application running when I see the moving multiple objects bug in the Finder. And (as for econupmac) the problem is intermittent.
I've checked the bug again and realize that it appears mostly when I'm moving a group of objects belonging to different columns. Here is what I did:
Create a folder with the 'Snap to grid' option ON and 'Icon size 16x16'. Set its View as Icon. Load this folder with 30 files and organize them into 3 groups of 10 files side by side. Enlarge the size of the folder to have plenty space by maneuver.
Now select the 5 bottom files of the middle column and move them gently around, then release them. The 'Snap to grid' feature will work fine and the files will be shifted to the nearest grid position... except when the files will stay in the middle of nowhere (you might need to do it several times until it happens).
THIS IS THE APPLE BUG.
This bug is more easily seen when a group of objects belonging to 2 adjacent columns is moved. Check this on a nicely arranged folder : Select the 5 bottom files of the middle column and the 5 bottom files of the right column and move them slightly. I bet that they will not stick to the grid. This will create a second grid which corrupts the folder. The next time you'll move around objects in this folder you'll see how crazy the folder behaves.

Transform handles are moving the object and not scaling.

I've been running into trouble with the transform handles on objects moving the object instead of scaling/stretching the object. It seems to happen on the bottom and right sides vs the top and left sides. When I have the mouse over the handle it shows the scaling icon, but when I press the mouse it turns into the black selection arrow. Is anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it?

kjredin,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:
