Object coordinates relative to selected artboard.

What controls origon (x,y = 0,0) of a objects coordinates? I'm not refering to which the "Reference Point".
I use a bunch of artboards and sometimes origon originates from the newest artboard i have created, which is great for my workflow. I place a lot of objects using the top coordination tool.
But often the origon fixes it's position to the first artboard. Is there a way to control the origon?
Specs: Win7, 64bit, Illustrator CS6 16.0.3.

If you are having trouble with items pasting on the wrong artboard, keep your artboards palette visible, and highlight the artboard you want to paste into.

Is there a Tool or function (in Illustrator or InDesign) that selects any shape and "punches" a "hole" of that shape all the way down through multiple objects to the paper or artboard?

In Illustrator, group the objects that you want to punch through, and use the transparency pallet.

Why related objects with indirection are selected when deleting an object

myCompany object is related to one-to-many addresses through indirection.
Using uow.deleteObject(myCompany) shows that when commiting, before actually removing the object and its privately owned related objects, toplink select these related objects from database (SELECT FROM ...) . Why is it necessary to perform this latter operation ?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Chris

This could be possible, but TopLink would also need to update its cache. In addition, there are a number of other things TopLink must do on each of the individual objects - such as search them for privately owned relations, delete ordering, firing any events and including them in changesets for cache synchronization and auditing purposes. There could be more, but they all require that TopLink find the privately owned objects before it attempts to delete them.
I will enter a feature request though so that this option can be configured, as it might improve performance for users who do not use other options mentioned above.
Best Regards,
Chris

Object coordinates

Hi
I want to know about indesign object coordinates.
In .indd file coordinates take 32 byte for any coordinate for top, left, bottom, right or (x, y, width, height).
How calculate x and y value from these 8-8 byte.It contain floting value but not follow IEEE standered.
What format use to store coordinate in indesign .indd file.
When I create a text frame in indesign on first page using Facing option whose value are
X=0, Y=0, Width=50,Height=50 and ruler is set on (0,0).I am not using any rotation.
Then I find the 32 byte for this in .indd file
00 00 00 00 00 00 22 C0
67 BD 78 7C 6C 91 7A C0
EE 76 BB DD 6E D7 62 40
F0 01 9B CD 66 63 71 C0
How calculate x , y width, height value from these hex byte.
What standered use by indesign to store coordinate.
Is there is any function in sdk that take these hex value and return coordinate.
Thanks

Hi Jongware
Thanks for Reply
According you i try to convert these byte using double-precision binary floating point format but i am not getting my answer.
I am sending some screen shot of these byte. Plz help me to get x and y coordinate.
I am creating textframe in indesign using Facing with default setting and set x=0 mm , y=0 mm,w=50 mm, h=50 mm for textframe.
and get hex value
x = 00000000000022c0 // (after converting in double-precision binary floating point i get -8)
y =67bd787c6c917ac0 //(after converting in double-precision binary floating point i get -425.088985892906)
w =(EE76BBDD6ED76240 - 00000000000022C0) //(after converting EE76BBDD6ED76240 in double-precision binary floating point i get 150.732283464567)
H= (F0019BCD666371C0 - 67bd787c6c917ac0) //(after converting F0019BCD666371C0 in double-precision binary floating point i get -278.212598424433)
According my information
InDesign coordinates are measured relative to the current location of the ruler’s zero point; the vertical (Y-axis) coordinates below the zero point are positive numbers; coordinates above the zero point are negative numbers.
When you get or set the location of a path point, the coordinates are passed and returned in the typical (x, y) order. InDesign returns some coordinates in a different order, however, and it expects you to supply them in that order. Geometric bounds and visible bounds are arrays containing four coordinates, which define (in order) the top, left, bottom, and right edges of the object’s bounding box, (y1, x1, y2, x2).
I am not understand that i follow the right approch Plz help me as soon as possible.
I am waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Keyboard shorcut to place an object at centre of the artboard

Is there any keyboard shortcut to place an object at the center of the artboard.

Or afzaljrc,
How about an action to do the above, if you wish to fit into the window?
If you select an object with the (normal) Selection Tool, then:
1) In the Window>Action palette flyout click New Action and Record,
2) Ctrl/Cmd+0,
3) Ctrl/Cmd+X+V,
4) Click the Stop Playing/Recording button,
5) DoubleClick the new action and give it a suitable name, and set a Function Key (working as a keyboard shortcut).
After that, you can select any object and have it moved to the centre of the Artboard, which is fit into the window, with the action, using the Function Key (or the Play Current Selecton button in the Action palette, with the action selected).
Or you may use the alternative action described in your other thread.

How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

hello everyone;
maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

What have they gone and messed up now?
When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

Is there a plugin that can copy the coordinates of a selection to the clipboard?

Is there a plugin in existance, that I can make a selection in Photoshop and then copy the coordinates of that selection to the clipboard?
I am a texture artist and frequently lay a number of graphics out in one file, before typing out the coordinates for each element. Currently this is a slow manual task, but could be made so much faster if I didn't have to type everything out.
Thanks,
Matt

I have to admit to not fully understanding your work flow, but to the extent I do Here is what I suggest:
I would open your image and create a new action and start recording. I would then create the rectangular selections in sequence and stop recording when you are done. Then I would save the action as a text file. The resulting text file for a test image, having created three different rectangular selections, looks like this:
Action: Action 1
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 0.451 Inches
            Left: 0.917 Inches
            Bottom: 0.559 Inches
            Right: 1.017 Inches
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 0.767 Inches
            Left: 0.892 Inches
            Bottom: 0.868 Inches
            Right: 0.986 Inches
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 1.108 Inches
            Left: 0.885 Inches
            Bottom: 1.201 Inches
            Right: 0.986 Inches
You can use this for the rest of your process.
To make things easier you should clear all actions before creating your new action or the text file will contain all of the active actions and you would have to hunt for the new action in the text file.
Hope this helps.

How to get coordinates of FileSystemTree selected item ?

Hi can some one clue me in how to get the coordinates of the
selected itwn in a FileSystemsTree ?
thx
-g

Hi Amy,
I looked at the code, this is the width calculation.
There are four (4) parts to each of the tree node display:
1) the indent, from _listData.indent Only value id _data is
not null
2) the disclosureIcon.width
3) icon.measuredWidth
4) label measured or explicate width
The positions are calculated by:
1a) disclosureIcon.x = the indent
1b) disclosureIcon.setActualSize = disclosureIcon.width,
disclosureIcon.height
2a) icon.x = the indent + disclosureIcon.width
2b) icon.setActualSize = icon.width, icon.height
3a) lable.x = the indent + disclosureIcon.width + icon.width
3b) lable.setActualSize = lable.width, lable.height
The label width:
label.width: the size of the visible portion of the label in
the parent. It may be clipped/truncated.
label.textWidth: the total size of the text in the label
Maybe I can get the code finished today.
BTW, as I'm moving through this processes of learning flex,
the one thing I've noticed is the lack of a concise MVC model or at
least a breakout of the more complex UI components. I'd assume for
such a strategic product, there would be more investment by Adobe
in these technical areas. But, I guess its easier putting people on
a bus and send them to city to city.

Hide a library object from all but selected users

Perhaps I just missed this in the documentation, but is there a way to hide
a library object from all but selected users who will have access to the
docs in that library. I know I can uncheck access rights and assign them
only for selected users who can access the documents, but I would like to
hide the ibrary object as well, best that only those who have access even
know the library exisits in this case. Thanks.

How do you give this support? This is a real issue with us as we
generate information that affects the price and "tradeability" of public
companies.
If it's only moral support -- you got it.
If you have to "vote" on these issues -- how?

AdvancedDataGrid: I cannot relate the selected cells to the dataprovider

If you look at this
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/AdvancedDataGrid.html#selectedCells
The selectedCells work fine if you have ungrouped data but when items are grouped the row index does not realte to the flat dataprovider but the grouped rows in the ADG display. This is annoying as I cannot relate the selected cells to the dataprovider.
Any ideas how to get around this?

Ok so if i write some text and all the words are of different sizes and i have to resize it using the transform tool, i cannot resize it unto the size i want. e.g.. i wrote this text "The Big Bold Sale" all the words are of different sizes and are grouped together, so when i resize it using transform tool all these words are resized differently "The big" becomes big, "bold" becomes little smaller and "sale" is not resized.. the image is attached.

Some objects can't be selected when cloned (option drag) CS5

Hi There,
Several times in CS5, I've noticed that some objects disappear or can't be selected after they've been copied or cloned.
I can't work out if the issues are related but I did notice that objects which disappear seem to have something to do with reordering automatically in the layers palate. For example, after copying or cloning, an object will move under an object even though it wasn't under it before copying.
As for not being able to select objects, I currently have a line which I can't select after I optioned dragged it to a new location. At first I thought it had gone under another object as per the issues above but after hitting Command Y, I can see it but can't select it.
Have triple checked that the line isn't locked - is there another command I might've hit that might lock an object or stop it from being edited?
Anyway, all suggestions welcome!
Cheers
Ben

Can anyone explain to me what is happening or how I can avoid having these adjacent objects show up on this file? I don't want to open and close each single artboard file because I have hundreds of them.
Looks like that file got corrupt.
Copy the one object from the problem file into a new file.
Then delete the problem file.

How do I preview objects that are outside of artboard.

Hello,
When I placed an illustrator file in Indesign, I would select command+D > select "Show Import Options" and we have a preview of the image. On some occasions, the preview will include all extraneous objects that are outside of the artboard and other times, it will display only the image within the artboard or bounding box. (Please see attached samples)
Does anyone know the reason behind this?
Thanks,
Sutagami

The only way I can reproduce what you are experiencing is if I save out as an .eps and am not mindful of the Artboard check box on the save dialog. If you deselect this check box you will get all of the file content, if you select this check box you will only get the designated Artboard bounding area. But you never said what file format your are saving or what version of Illustrator you are using. I have to assume you are in CS4.

Keeping "child" objects aligned relative to "parent" objects - Possible?

Hello,
I have an object (e.g. a circle) and I have some text that I would like to remain center-aligned horizontally and vertically to the center of the circle, even if I cange the font or size of the text, or add a newline (make it two or three lines of text rather than one).
Right now I have to realign the text to the object each time I change the text. I'd like to be able to "lock" the alignment of the text (or any other object) to some other object. Can I get this result (or close to it) somehow? I have to make frequent changes like this, and the extra realignement step after each change is a productivity killer for me.
Thanks for your wisdom,
Ben

Thanks for the help so far, I appreciate it!
I think I will likley have to go the action or scripting route. Setting an object's origin relative to that of another object seems like what I want to do, but the example I gave was really an oversimplification of my situation, and the text and circle of my example are really more complicated objects and groups of objects (including text) in the actual case, so I don't think the convert to ellipse solution will be quite robust enough. I'm going to fiddle with that method a bit to see if it might be adapted to the general case; it involves a few features I didn't know about so thanks for the education regardless. Otherwise, if there is no general way of linking one object's coordinate system to another object's center, creating an action or script will at least eliminate a few mouse clicks.
Thanks again both of you,
Ben
