Object position resolution?

When referring to an objects position, what resolution does illustrator round to? For example. if I set the x position of an object to 155.1234134512px, what will illustrator round that to? Also, is there any way to increase the resolution?

Okay, this little experiment failed -- it bails out on a delta factor of 10, because there seems to be some internal rounding going on at a position of 1.1 -- if I read this position, I get 1.1000975 in return!
ln = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add();
ln.setEntirePath ( [[0,0], [0,10]] );
deltaFactor = 0.1;
do
deltaFactor *= 10;
xpos = ln.pathPoints[0].anchor[0];
xpos += 1/deltaFactor;
ln.setEntirePath ( [[xpos,0], [xpos,10]] );
} while (ln.pathPoints[0].anchor[0] == xpos);
alert ("Last delta was "+deltaFactor);

How do you rotate an object in the Photoshop CC Animation Timeline now that "3D Object Position" no longer exists?

I am attempting to animate the rotation of an object using Photoshop CC Animation. However, unlike in previous versions where there was a "3D Object Position" layer on the Timeline that one would keyframe to change an objects position within the scene; the sublayer "3D Object Position" does not exist in CC. I have attempted to change an objects rotation by keyframing the "Position" sublayer resulting in no change what so ever. I have attempted to change an objects rotation by keyframing the "3D Meshes" sublayer resulting in the object rotating clear off the scene and not following the coordinates that I type in. This is very frustrating since something like this use to be so easy!! How do I animate the rotation of an object using Photoshop CC?!

Which version of CC and have you install the updates?

Error - Trying to delete objects (Positions)

Via Report RHRHDL00, I am trying to delete a few positions, I created for Testing.
I am getting error u201C STOP: The information entered is incorrect, Cost Center missing . Please contact your SAP Rep before completing this.
I am getting the same error via Tcode RE_RHRHDL00
Why should I get this error, when I am just deleting objects?
Please help.

You can use the above report to delete the OM object. However first remove the OM and PA integration if the postion is still assigned and then execute.
In case you want to delete the person completely you can use the program RPUDELPN.

Copy and paste object position

Hello
I am fairly new to Keynote from Powerpoint.
I had a tool in powerpoint which enable me to "copy" an object's size and position then "paste" that size and position to an object on another slide (it was a macro - not part of Powerpoint itself). Specifically I have many slides with text boxes and I want the text boxes to be the same size and position on every slide. They are already in the slides (got brought over from PowerPoint) but font and other things have slightly messed everything up so now I want to sort it out again.
Is there anyway I can do this? I know copy style but that doesn't seem to do it but maybe I am missing something. I know the object has position tags and though maybe they could be used in some way.
Many thanks for your help
Deb

One way to rectify things would be to copy the X position from the Metrics Inspector of a text box in correct location, then paste that into the X position field in the Metrics Inspector of the text boxes to be adjusted, and then do the same for the Y position.
However, a faster approach might be simply to create a blank text box on one of the slides, position it where you want, then copy and paste that box on all the other slides -- when pasted, it will be in the same position as on the original slide. You can then cut and paste the text from the old text boxes to the new one.

Animated object losing resolution...please help.

I have created a vector tree in Adobe illustrator and have imported it After effects, I then proceeded to laying out three of the images in after effects then offsetting two of the objects by a pixel all in 6 frames, and when looped it has an animated feel to the vector.
The 3 images are constantly looping all in 6 frames. I then pre-composed that sequence and have created a 5 min sequence of this still tree that looks animated.
The problem that I am having is that, I would like to zoom in and out of this still animated tree but when I zoom in, it loses resolution.
I am thinking I am not able to do this by pre-composing, are there any solutions to this?
I posted the video here and this is the video I would like to zoom in and out of, but how do I make it so that it does not lose resolution?

For each of the AI layers in the nested Comp, you have to turn on the Constinuously Rasterize switch. This will preserve the scalable nature of vector graphics.
For more information, see Continuously Rasterize a layer containing vector graphics in AE Help.
But, since you are scaling up the Pre-Comp with its' own scale property, you also need to turn on Collapse Transformations for the Pre-Comp. It's exactly the same button as Continuously Rasterize, but when used on nested Comps it's called Collapse Transformation. It connects the properties of a Pre-Comp with the same properties for the layers nested in it, so that the Pre-Comp gets smart about things like combined scale values, etc.
For more information, see Render order and collapsing transformations.

Object Positioning with Arrow Keys / Hiting fast (3times) Objekt Moves Back

Good Morning,
Since i updated PS (CS6) the last time it has this very strange behavior when i try to position a object via the Arrow Keys.
When i hit a Button very fast (3 times) the object jumps back to its very first position where i started to move it.
Is this a normal behavior? Or a Bug?
When it is a new "feature" - where can i turn it off?
I ask some friends of mine, but nobody stumbled over it yet.
Thanks
Nils

Does this look like the same thing?

Doesn't seem to happen on photoshop cs6 13.01 on a windows machine.

Object positioning problems!

Hey Everyone,
I am putting together a simple website, but when I add a Navigation bar and position it where I want on the page, it automatically moves when previewed in a browser. Is there something I am missing when inserting objects?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Its not possible to answer this question unless you provide more information. A link to the problem page which shows the code and css is always a helpful starting point if you need a difinitive answer. Most often than not the answer is in the code/css.

Custom Script - set object position

Hello,
I want to build a trasformation that set a position of an'object (entity, table, ..) in diagram. Any idea?
Thank you.

It sounds like you want to use a default or derived attribute value.
You set these in rules, which are applied via profiles.

Relative Object Position

It would be nice to have option to chose
from where object coordinates are measured (Page, Margines, Spread...)
For example, you want to move your object 10mm from margine,
or just want to check how far is it from margine...
tomaxxi

Well, here it is....
My idea is to add little icon to chose from where position would be measured...
I worked out just two examples, but it could be more... like Spline, Spread, Object...
I dont fint moving zero point so effective if you work in facing pages and multipages document...
And I dont see why you are talking about databases....
First example:
Position origin is Page or in my case document zero point...
Second example:
Position origin is Margin, so position of object is calculated be substracting margin width and height...
So, you dont have to move your document zero point...
Thanks for listening...

Has an IDML Object an z index? To identify exactly the Object position / arrangement on a layer?

Hi,
let me tell you about my problem.
I'm programming a converter from IDML to a special internal XML format.
For example I have one Layer with three objekts.
- On the bottom of the layer I've got a rectangle.          (z-index: 3)
- Above this rectangle, there is a text object.               (z-index: 2)
- And on top a line.                                                    (z-index: 1)
I've to take over these objects into my internal XML. And it's very important to maintain the order of the objects.
Is there any attribute in the IDML XML structure like a (html) z-index, which defines the object arrangement?
Thanks for your help! :-)

UPDATE:
In order to guard against misunderstandings, the converter is written in Perl. It's no IDML scripting with java and so on.
I found out that the arrangement of the objects depends on the XML Tag order.
I think at least ...

Object position controlled by time

So, i want to control the position of a white box by using expressions because i can't use keyframes as i want (or i'm just stupid).
I already have
a = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 1")*1;
b = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 2")*1;
c = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 3")*1;
y = a,b,c;
value - [0,y];
in the white box's expressions, so what i can do now to control the box's position with time?

Just a shot in the dark:
if (time > 5)
mult = 3
else
mult = 1;
a = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 1")*mult;
b = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 2")*mult;
c = thisComp.layer("White box").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 3")*mult;
y = a+b+c; // is this what you meant?
value - [0,y];
You could also tie the mult variable to a slider control, which you could keyframe over time.

Vector Smart Object max resolution?

I know it looks a dumb question since its a vector file, but when I resize them really big they look less sharp.Is it just me?Or is there really a cap?
Ty in advance.

Well, then it has been rasterized already.
Just because it is named »Vector Smart Object« doesn’t proof a thing.
But quite probably it was vector content at some time, so You might
try getting that from the people/company that originally created it.

Just in case: Did you set your location correctly in stellarium? I noticed that the new version (0.10) reseted the settings.
BTW. UTC is time in GMT (e.g. London, England) and localtime is time wherever you are (Argentila I guess). If your clock is set to localtime and settings are for UTC it could be cause of your problems.

Positioning objects on a z radius evenly

I'm useing papervision3d
And I have 8 objects/spheres and will be adding more
objects/spheres later
I was wondering if anyone knows a formula to position any
number of objects evenly on a z radius
any help will be greatly appreciated, sincerely newwave
here is what I have tried, as is only 4 objects/spheres are
visible on stage, due to overlapping
[code]
var M1:MaterialObject3D = new FlatShadeMaterial(light,
0xFF0000, 0xFFCC99);
obj1 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj1.x = -ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj2 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj2.x = ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj3 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj3.z = -ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj4 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj4.z = ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj5 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj5.z = -ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj6 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj6.z = ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj7 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj7.z = -ORBITAL_RADIUS;
obj8 = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
obj8.z = ORBITAL_RADIUS;
[/code]

interesting! lol ;)
well i'm not certain about the math on the z axis but it
'should' be similar in calc to a normal circular calc - you might
try reversing the cos, sin on each line. but the 'real' funny thing
is the grouping, but part of the issue here is the assignment of
the angle to 3 - the above formula divides degrees of rotation (eg.
360) by the quantity of object positions so you really need to have
that in there. but in hindsight you may want to increment the angle
within the array because in this way it will result in rotations
all the way through the circumference - so try this:
private static const ORBITAL_RADIUS:Number = 300;
private var angle:Number = 0;
var M1:MaterialObject3D = new FlatShadeMaterial(light,
0xFF0000, 0xFFCC99);
for(var i=0; i<8; i++) {
this['obj'+i] = new Sphere(M1, 50, 10, 10);
this['obj'+i].x = ORBITAL_RADIUS * Math.cos(angle);
this['obj'+i].z = ORBITAL_RADIUS * Math.sin(angle);
angle += (360 / 8) * Math.PI / 180;
that should do it ;)

Object's positioning issue

Hi,
I have a problem with objects positioning.
I have 3 non-flowed pages with many non-flowed subforms.
Problem 1: When i change X coordinate of any object in subform it moves other objects in this subform and also in other subforms.
Problem 2: I cant set x-coordinate of the object in subform to the same value as subform has, even thougt i have no margins set on it.
Can someone give me a clue how to solve these problems or tell me what's wrong with it?
Thank You
Jirka

I'm not sure what's happening with your first problem.
For the second problem, if I'm understanding you, the default for x/y measurements is Absolute Coordinates, so it's measuring from the edge of the page. You can change that via the the little dropdown menu in the top right of the Layout Palette and select Relative Coordinates.
