Object placement changes
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone knows what's the deal regarding objects moving from the position they were in when I designed the site and where they end up when I preview the site?
As an example:
I have a single page all laid out with text in specific places, but when I preview it the text might be offset to the left of where I had put it.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Ben,
sorry I wasn't clear enough.I hope the pictures will make it more clearly.
Here you see the selected Bool control which I copy to the clipboard.
In some BD I click at the lower right corner and in former LV- versions the a boolean constant would appear at this point, but...
... in LV 8.6 it always appears centered. So I have to pick it up there and go back to the position I already have been.
Greets, Dave

How do I set the default Object Placement in new pages?
I often drag and drop images to pages, but the default is that these images do not move with the text.
How do I change the default for this setting? This always worked with the old pages 09...
I've tried a lot of different approaches including creating a new template or applying a new style to the objects. But it seems that the style does not affect the object placement settings at all. And the template didn't work either.
Has anybody already figured out how to do this?
Many thanks in advance!
xifleHello xifle, I have the same issue with pages. Indeed, it is time consuming to have to format the placement of each image I insert so that text wraps around it. Sometimes, I would need the image to float so that I can position it more effectively. Finally, wouldn't it be nice to have screen shots inserted into a pages doc scale down to a pred-determined size. We are surely hundreds of users needing this same feature. Great streamlining, but an overall weak version of Pages at the moment. Regards, Emmanuel in Switzerland

In some documents object placement doesn't work anymore. Any ideas?
Following the line of Yvan's suggestion, you need to become familiar with the different object attributes and how to recognize them.
All this business is explained in the Pages User Guide.

Reset Text Wrap and Object Placement defaults?
Using Pages 5.5.2 (w Yosemite).
Wondering if there's any way to set a default preference for the Text Wrap and Object Placement parameters in the Format > Arrange tab?
For example, more often than not I need to have Text Wrap set to "None", rather than "Automatic". I was at least hoping that once I'd set a particular object to "None", any new objects I created or which were dragged into that same document would inherit that same Text Wrap setting (in much the same way that any new drop shadow setting becomes the new default when applying the drop shadow effect to subsequent selections). But even THAT doesn't seem to be the case with the Text Wrap & Object Placement options -- much less being able to reset a new global preference.
Any suggestions (which still involve using Pages 5.5.2) appreciated.
Thanks,
John Bjust discovered a related topic: when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?
But that thread ends up going in a slightly different direction, since having to create placeholder shapes, and then duplicating (+ individually repositioning) same, for almost every time I dragged an image into a Pages doc would actually be MORE work than the current annoyance of having to reset the Text Wrap setting for most new objects.
I just want a way to set a global preference for that adjustment -- or at least a preference to have all new objects start off with the same Text Wrap (and Object Placement) settings as the last ones used.
Possibility? Or Feature Request? -

Why does object sequence change once exported to PDF?
I have a two-page spread that shows exactly how I want it to in Preview. But once I export to PDF the sequence of the objects has changed (blocking an object that needs to be on top). I can see the object when the pdf is opened, but just for a second. I don't know if this is an InDesign problem or an Acrobat problem. I'm using CS4 and exporting to Acrobat 8.
In the file "Step" and "Out" should be on top. "Step" gets covered up, but "Out" does not.This is the cross-spine bug. You have four choices:
1) Take this back to CS3.
2) Reconstruct things on your master spread so that text boxes don't cross the spine.
3) Move the problematic cross-spine elements off the master onto a live page.
4) Wait for a patch. A number of people have been bit by this, but the only reports I've seen have been quite recent, all in the last few months.

Convert Word Doc to PDF - font in Excel object is changed
Hi,
I have tried to convert a word document to PDF. The document
has an Excel object embedded. In the PDF file created by
acrobat.com, the font in Excel object was changed (no longer Times
News Roman).
Can someone please contact me and give it a try?
My email: [email protected]
CheersDo you know which font it was substituted for? If the entire
font is not required, the PDF Conversion process will create a
subset font, and will then change the name of the font (since it is
not technically the full original font). However the glyphs used in
the subset font should be identical. -
I have 2 tables T_Objects and T_Categories.
T_Objects stores images as a BLOB field. T_Categories stores the details of an article category and references the pictogram in T_Objects via a FK.
I have 2 webpages. One which is used to load the pictogram in T_Objects and the other which is used to maintain details of the category in T_Categories. As soon as the image is uploaded and is displayed on the screen, user fills in the category details and saves them.
Each of these operations is performed in a seperate HTTP Request (and consequently seperate UOW). The idea is that the user first uploads an image, checks the image on the screen and the decides to associate it with a category.
The database is Oracle 9i. Driver used is OCI 8. Binary Steam Binding is enabled for BLOB fields. DatabasePlatform is Oracle9Platform.
The descriptors of both the tables use SoftCacheWeakIdentity and the cache size is 100. Both tables use Optimistic Locking based on a version field using TimestampLockingPolicy.
Coming to the problem, if the delay between the upload of the image and saving of the category details is large (say 20 seconds or so) Toplink generates a Update query to update the details in T_Categories. If the delay is smaller than that then Toplink fails to generate an update query even if the object was changed. Upon debugging I find that just before the commit, the BO being committed has all the correct details including the new PK of the uploaded image.
Assuming that the BO pointing to T_Objects may not be in Cache (owing to images of size 200+ KB) I did an explicit read of this object before attempting to save details to T_Categories. Even that does not seem to help.
Any ideas on what is happening here?Chris. Thanks for your reply. I did not get your point. However these are the steps being done.
Can you please go through the code and check what could be wrong?
Steps
1) createContent(VmTObjectsVO vo) is called to insert into VM_T_OBJECTS.
This internally calls create ( Object obj, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges )
2) update( VmSubcategoriesVO vo ) is called to update a sub-category details to VM_T_SUBCATEGORIES.
This internally calls save( Object bo, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges )
In the save method at the time of uow.commitAndResume() no update statement is getting generated.
These core methods are used for almost all tables in the application and all of them work.
It is only in this use case I have a problem.
* Creates a new entry for storing the image/document in VM_T_OBJECTS.
* @param vo the content to be stored.
* @return the sequence assigned to this object.
public Long createContent(VmTObjectsVO vo){
VmTObjectsVO voSaved = null;
Long lnContentId = null;
if(vo != null){
VmTObjectsBO bo = new VmTObjectsBO();
/* copy the properties from the VO to the BO. */
ObjectAssembler.vo2bo((BaseVO)vo, bo);
/* Create the content */
lnContentId = create(bo);
return lnContentId;
* updates a subcategory to VM_T_SUBCATEGORIES
* @param vo VmSubcategoriesVO to update.
* @ return updated VmSubcategoriesVO
public VmSubcategoriesVO update( VmSubcategoriesVO vo ) {
VmSubcategoriesBO boSaved = null;
VmSubcategoriesVO voSaved = null;
VmSubcategoriesBO bo = new VmSubcategoriesBO( );
/* Copy the properties in the VO to the BO */
ObjectAssembler.vo2bo( vo, bo );
/* Save the changed object */
save( bo );
return voSaved;
* Stores the new object in the database and
* returns the primary key identifier with which it was created.
* @param obj The object to be created.
* @param uow Use this unit of work for performing the insert.
* @param commitChanges Should commit changes upon insertion?
* If the client wants to perform the commit operation across several others
* operations, then the value should be set to false.
* @return Primary key of the object created.
public Long create ( Object obj, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges ) {
Object cacheObj = null;
Long lnSequenceAssigned = null;
if ( obj == null ) {
throw new ObjectNotFoundException( null, null, null, null );
try {
if (uow == null) {
/* create a new unit of work if necesasry */
uow = getUnitOfWork( dbSession );
/* Assign a sequence number */
uow.assignSequenceNumber( obj );
/* Get the descriptor associated with this object */
Descriptor descriptor = uow.getDescriptor(obj);
/* Get the sequence assigned */
lnSequenceAssigned = (Long)descriptor.getObjectBuilder().getBaseValueForField(descriptor.getSequenceNumberField(),obj);
/* Register the object */
uow.registerObject( obj );
if(commitChanges){
/* Commit the changes */
uow.commitAndResume();
} finally {
return lnSequenceAssigned;
* Saves changes to an existing object to the data store.
* Has only been tested for flat-objects. Objects that reference other
* persistent objects have not been tested.
* @param bo The object to be saved.
* @param uow The UnitOfWork to use for saving the object.
* @param commitChanges whether the changes should be committed.

public void save( Object bo, UnitOfWork uow, boolean commitChanges ) {
if ( bo == null ){
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"Object is invalid" );
try {
/* Register the object supposed to be existing */
Object clone = uow.registerExistingObject( bo );
/* This object does not exist */

when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?
Then use a Layout template.
I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

Can the position of a vertical line object be changed in run time
Post Author: KennyG
CA Forum: General
I added some vertical line objects into my report in design mode, but the position of them can't be determined until the run time. So I have to change the position dynamically, such as " lineObject.Left = 200; ........" . But I'm confronted with an exception, System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException, and it says that " The line object's coordinates are not valid. Only vertical or horizontal lines are supported.". Finally, can the position of a vertical line object be changed in run time? if can, how to do it??
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
ThanksMaking buttons move is my thing. Attached you will find VIs that make advanced use of the postion property.

Pages: Object Placement problems
I have, up till now, been able to combine photos (jpgs) with text on the same page, with Object Wrap functions. For some reason, it's not working.
Under the Object Causes Wrap bar, I am allowed to pick and choose. However, under the Object Placement bar, I cannot select any of the options.
I have an older version of Pages and I don't want to upgrade (for many reasons).
Can anyone please help ! Look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks. Don in CaliforniaMr. Seek Help wrote:

Do you think it would be useful to tell us what that is?
Sounds to me like you have an Inline Object in a Textbox.

Why did my object referance change?
Hello,
I dont know why, but my object referance changed from: form1.JustAfield to xfa.resolveNode("template[0].form1[0].JustAfield[0]")
In the hierarchy window I cant find this "template" object and all my scripts stopped working because of this reference issue.
Any ideas how to fix this?Hopefully you've figured out a workaround by now, but if not, did you try going into the XML and manually changing that reference back to form1.JustAfield?

Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import
Hi All
I am facing a strange problem.
We have applied SP16 patch on our XI box and imported all the scenario objects and design objects which were exported as .tpz file .
After importing scenario object,all objects moved to a new node 'XI 3.0 Import' in change list and when I tried to activate this change list it gave me an error
<b>"Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import"</b>
even if I try to move it Standard change list, it gives me same error.
Any solution?Hi,
Hope you are activiating the complete change list. You get this error because you trying to activate a part of the change list.

Changes in LV 8.6 with object placement while pasting from clipboard
Hello all,
I noticed a change in behaviour of LV 8.6. When I want to place an object (constant or terminal at block diagram or control at FP) from the clipboard in former versions i could make a click at a certain point and after Ctrl+C the object appeared at this very position. This is useful if you want to place a control in a specific FP- pane or inside a structure on BD. This doesn't work in 8.6 anymore and I find it very annoying to collect the object from the window's center. Is this a bug or didn't I find the appropriate checkbox in the Options- dialog? I understand that it makes it easier for novices, but this very useful feature of predetermined pasting is to much a pity to remove this feature.
