New Swatch Selection

How do I import a fabric swatch to add to my swatch selection. I want to change the fabric on an ottoman.

Go to "Edit Menu>Preset Manager>Color Swatches" and choose "LOAD" . Navigate to the color swatches file . The color swatches will get loaded in PSE . Please note that if you are using PSE 11 there will be a "ADD" button and not a "LOAD" button. To permanently save the swatches , so that you can access it to it even after a relaunch , choose "Save swatches" and save it in the user preset folder location.

Select path with same swatch and apply a new swatch

I am trying to write a script that will select a line based on a swatch name, apply a new swatch, set the stroke, dash and miter of the line...and then create a new layer, change then name of the layer, and then move the selected items to the newly created layer.
All I could seem to accomplish was renaming a swatch.
var swatchName = app.activeDocument.swatches;
if (swatchName.length > 0) {
    for (i=0; i < swatchName.length; i++){
        changeName(swatchName[i]);
function changeName(swatchObject){
                 if (swatchObject.name == "PANTONE Orange 021 C"){
                    swatchObject.name = "021 (Orange)";
                if (swatchObject.name == "PANTONE Red 032 C"){
                    swatchObject.name = "032 (Red)";
So the goal of what I would like it to do is look for all paths with the stroke color set to "PANTONE Orange 021 C" then have it change the swatch name to "021 (Orange)". After that apply the stroke, dash and miter. Create a new layer named "021 (Orange)". Then send all of the selected lines to that layer.
PLEASE HELP AS I HAVE 200+ files to do this task to. Using a windows machine with CS3. Trying to write in javascript.

This would be the way to rename 2 existing swatches… The GUI pallet can be a little sticky in updating but it works…
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var a = docRef.swatches.getByName('PANTONE Orange 021 C');
a.name = '021 (Orange)';
var b = docRef.swatches.getByName('PANTONE Red 032 C');
b.name = '032 (Red)';
redraw();
My mistake… Looks like this Jive stuff gave you an unwanted bump from nowhere? Didn't look at the date…

Custom color-palette keeps becoming read-only and will not let me add new swatches

I need to make a custom colour palette for work that i can open on different adobe programs, share with others and add new swatches to as I go. I create a custom palette, save it a custom name but whenever I re-open it, it has become a read-only palette and I can no longer add custom swatches to it. How do I get around this problem if I need to keep adding colours to my custom palettes?
Thanks

In case you need to keep swatches from the ASE:
create a new document
empty the swatches panel
add all the swatches from the ASE into that document's swatches panel
add new colors as swatches
from the swatches panel's menu select "save library"
Also see the manual on creating swatches.

New Swatch Type: 'Corporate Color'

Have you ever designed a logo and managed its various color versions? You will want this feature.
Click 'New Swatch' – you get a dialog box with the possibility to choose, among other things, from two color types: Process Color or Spot Color.
Let's imagine there was a third option: 'Corporate Color' (or whatever you want to call it, that's irrelevant).
Choose 'Corporate Color' – and you will be given the possibility to manually select/enter the color values of any/all versions this particular corporate color might have, say: PMS Coated, CMYK, RGB, RAL – and if needed, also PMS Uncoated version, different CMYK versions for newspaper and coated stock, etc.
Of course you would be able to add, remove and edit these color versions of a Corporate Color afterwards, as per the basics of good UX.
The thing is, these fixed values for different color versions would follow with the Corporate Color where ever you use it in your document, and whatever changes you make to your document. Say, you convert your document from CMYK to RGB – normal colors are converted according to whatever color management settings you might be using at the time (and continue to do so regardless of this new feature). But, a Corporate Color would first check if there's a fixed RGB version set, and if there is, skip all conversion calculations and, simply use that fixed version.
Also, if you 'Save for Web', for example, a suitable RGB version would be used of each/any Corporate Colors you've chosen to define and use in the document. Everything else would convert just as it does now.
You could use that? Yeah, thought so. But here's the really cool part: with Corporate Colors, you would also have this new export/save option: 'Export Corporate Color versions'. What would this option do? You guessed it right. It would export all the different color versions of the document, in neatly named files (and folder structure when applicable), and any formats you check for each Corporate Color version.
Let's say you have a two-color logo, and you've defined both colors as Corporate Colors with one CMYK and one RGB version. In the 'Export Corporate Color versions' dialog box (or the document's default settings for the tool) you choose a .pdf, an .eps and a 600ppi .tif format for the CMYK versions and a .svg and 1000px wide .png and .jpg formats for the RGB versions. Then simply click 'Export' and you get the following:
[folder: my-logo-cmyk-versions]
my-logo-cmyk.pdf
my-logo-cmyk.eps
my-logo-cmyk-600ppi.tif
[folder: my-logo-rgb-versions]
my-logo-rgb-1000px-wide.png
my-logo-rgb-1000px-wide.jpg
my-logo-rgb.svg
Each file in the company's official RGB or CMYK colors, effortlessly and with absolutely no mistakes.
If you like this idea, and would love to see it featured as soon as possible, upvote this suggestion and ask your colleagues to do the same.
Thanks everybody. I won't be taking more of your time. Bye!

Hi Ranjith,
This is how I debug output type message related issues :
i) If you get red coloured message against the output type - Put the breakpoint in FORM ENTRY of your print program and check the RETCODE variable. Also check the sy-msgid, sy-msgno variable.
ii) If you get red coloured light after pressing messages button. These Messages are updated using 'NAST_PROTOCAL_UPDATE' fm. Put a breakpoint in the function module and find out the cause.

No "create new swatch" command

I just noticed that there are no icon buttons at the bottom
of the swatches panel to create or delete a new swatch like there
is in AI and PS; is this an oversight?

Click in the swatches panel. The cursor will change into a
paint bucket,
and the color of any object you have selected will be added
to the panel.
Stop expecting things in Fireworks to work the same way they
do in

Picking colour for a new swatch from photos

Often i paste some photos in indesign, I pick colour from it and then add colour to a vector graphic say
I pick a shade of blue colour from a photograph and then fill a rectangle with that colour.
How can I make a swatch for it? One way I know is to determine the RGB or CMYk values for that colour and then manually fill those values in new swatch options to create that colour. Is there a faster way, maybe picking a colour using some eyedropper from the rectangle's fill and making a swatch?

How can I make a swatch for it?
If I understand correctly, with the recangle color still selected go to windows>color panel and on flyout menu choose add to swatch.

Create new swatch using Guassian Blur

Hello
I am trying to create a new swatch pattern that repeats consistently (see diagram below)
I create a assemble four (6pt by 6pt squares) together and then colour them in approproiately. I guassian blur at 1.5pt each square. I add a base colour background in a square of 12pt by 12pt and then put a 12pt by 12pt invisible bounding box behind all this. I then drag to the swatch panel to create my new swatch.
Problem is that when I try to colour in a larger square with this patter I get harsh lines ... see the example. Would love thoughts on how to get around this
Thanks
John

Nah, don't create the seams at the edges of the squares but more in a flower shape with one of the squares in the middle and the others surrounding it as ahlf squares.

You should run a new contract selection for item 0000000010

Hello Friends
i am trying to create a service request from WEB IC by confirming Account and Ibase and able to create without error.
if i end session and open the service request in change mode and if delete the ibase and save, then appeas the below message
"You should run a new contract selection for item 0000000010", going through OSS notes, but found nothing.
Transaction type ZXXX : we set
Contract Determination is set to 'E' : Assign at Item leve : Assign immediately if unique for .
if i open the service ticket in CRMD_ORDER and go in change mode if i click process action button next to error, this will disappear. but it comes when i assing a ibase to the request, so its working only when i first create without errors.
users do not use crmd_order to process error and WEB CI does not have process action feature.
any sort of help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
Which release are you using ?
This message appears when you change any field in the service ticket which has an influence on contract determination, such as ibase, ibase component, line item, ...
As of CRM2007 we have enabled a hyperlink for this message. Clicking the hyperlink will re-execute the contract selection.

V.15 and New Data Selection

Hi,
in V.15 transaction the "New data selection" is greyed out. How can i allow the user to check/uncheck this box?
The problem is when the "New data selection" is checked and when i execute the transaction, the "Name of sold-to party" is empty but when it's unchecked it's filled ... strange. What is the "New data selection" means?
Thank you for your replies.

if you do not select "new data selection" the program with just import previously selected data (the data from previous run which was stored - it's done by selecting "save dataset").
"New data selection" means the data is selected from database tables again instead of importing previously selected dataset from storage.
I believe if you at least once SAVE dataset - the option "new data selection" will be editable, SAP just saves datasets per user, so if user have not saved any dataset - the only option is to run with "new data selection" = 'ON' .

Excute_query when new date selected from calender

hi,
i have a mater detail form. form is displaying current day values as default.
i put a calendar to form for users can be select date.
now,
i want to excute_query when new date selected from calender.
i writed below code to text_item(calendar) when_validate_item trigger but it nor woring
.giving frm-40137 error.

go_block('XXMOB_YAPBOZ_TAHTASI_GV');
DO_KEY('Execute_query');
any help please
best regards
aykut

I was thinking your date selected from CALENDAR ended in a list_item.
I don't know I thinking that
well,
:master_block.itemdate is your text_item where calendar return date selected.
and then , following Gerd's step
Create a WHEN-MOUSE-DOUBLECLICK on the date-item of CALENDAR and write :
begin
:master_block.itemdate := calendar (.........);
go_block ('master-block');
execute_query;
end;
or set a global or parameter variable date selected from calendar :parameter. xxxxxx
in a PRE-QUERY
:master_block.itemdate := :parameter. xxxxxx
and
Create a WHEN-MOUSE-DOUBLECLICK on the date-item of CALENDAR and write :
begin
:parameter. xxxxxx := calendar( ....);
go_block ('master-block');
execute_query;
end;

[JPA] SELECT NEW inside SELECT NEW in Named Query

Suppose i have two JPA entities Master and Detail as follows:
@Entity
public class Master implements Serializable{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private long id;
    private String masterField1;
    private String masterField2;
    private String masterField3;
     private String masterField4;
    private String masterField5;
    //A lot of other fields till masterFieldn...
    private String masterFieldn;
    private List<Detail> detailList;
    //getters and setters here...
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "master", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
    @OrderBy("detailField1 DESC")
    public List<Detail> getDetailList() {
        return detailList;
@Entity
public class Detail implements Serializable{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private long id;
    private String detailField1;
    private String detailField2;
    private String detailField3;
     private String detailField4;
    private String detailField5;
    //A lot of other fields till detailFieldn...
    private String detailFieldn;
    private Master master;
    //getters and setters here...
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="MASTER_ID", referencedColumnName="ID")    public Master getMaster() {
        return master;
    }Both Master and Detail entities have a lot of fields, but i only need a subset of those fields when these entities are queried. So, i have two helper classes which i use in named queries in Master JPA entity :
@NamedQueries({
        @NamedQuery(name = "Master.findMaster",
            query = "SELECT NEW MasterHelper(" +
                "t.masterField1, t.masterField2, t.masterField3, " +
                " SELECT NEW DetailHelper(" +
                "td.detailField1, td.detailField2, td.detailField3 FROM Detail td WHERE " +
                " td.master.id = t.id)) FROM Master t WHERE t.id = ?1")MasterHelper and DetailHelper have only the fields i want to query, getters and setters, and a constructor matching the SELECT NEW.. in @NamedQuery :
public class MasterHelper implements java.io.Serializable {
    private String field1;
    private String field2;
    private String field3;
    private <DetailHelper> detailList;
    //Constructor matching SELECT NEW
    public MasterHelper(String field1, String field2, String Field3, List detailList) {
       this.field1 = field1;
        this.field2 = field2;
        this.field3 = field3;
        this.detailList = detailList;
     //getters and setters
public class DetailHelper implements java.io.Serializable {
    private String field1;
    private String field2;
    private String field3;
    //Constructor matching SELECT NEW
    public DetailHelper(String field1, String field2, String Field3) {
       this.field1 = field1;
        this.field2 = field2;
        this.field3 = field3;
     //getters and setters
}So, basically when i query for a particular Master entity, what i want in return is a List of MasterHelper objects with just the fields i want; each MasterHelper object must include a list of MasterDetail objects, again with just the fields i want.
When the above named query is executed by Toplink Essentials against an Oracle database, i get the following exception regarding the "second" SELECT NEW:
EJBQLException
Exception Description: Syntax error parsing the query [SELECT NEW
...unexpected token [SELECT]
...How can i achieve what i want? Doesn't JPA allows SELECT NEW inside SELECT NEW in named queries?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
The build you are using is an older one, and there have been a few enhancements done for constructor expressions support (for instance
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1421)
but an enhancement to allow constant values is still open: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2452

Trying to add new swatch library, I get " Cant open, select AI 8 or above or EPS"

I am trying to add the "Roland Color Systems Library.ai" into ID CS6. I added the same file with no problem to AI CS3 but when I try adding it to ID, I get:
"Cannot open file, please select an Adobe Illustrator 8 or above document or EPS file, or an Adobe Indesign Document"
I also tried converting it to an EPS in AI then importing it again into ID but I get the same error, also tried saving into several legacy versions. I see in the swatch library folder in ID, it seems to have a lot of ACB files that are the default swatchbook files. Is there maybe a way to convert this to an ACB file and just drop it into that folder, or any other suggestions?

That sounded like a good idea but Im not finding a way to export swatch books from AI.
Im not sure what you mean about not operating ID that way though. It has the ability to import swatch libraries but its not accepting the file im pointing to
