Outlined type with a thick black stroke and transparent fill

I want to create outlined type with a transparent fill and a thick black stroke. This video describes what I want, but instead of a white fill I'd like a transparent fill (https://youtu.be/iqHjU2hiWAo). Thanks!

You could use the Pathfinder > Divide tool. Create a copy of the original outlined text. You set the stroke, say an 18pt ( really thick ), then outline the stroke. On the copy positioned over the original, select both and then Pathfinder Divide. Remove all strokes / fills inside the outlines to get the transparency you want.

Can't seem to properly lock a box in place with a stroke and transparent fill (problem when trying to duplicate other elements)

Hey guys! So quick rundown: I'm an Art Director in advertising and sometimes I need to mockup banner ads. Most of them require a 1PX border all around, so I need to create a box with no fill but with a 1PX stroke and keep that as the top most layer. What ends up happening though, even if that layer is locked, if I try to duplicate another layer via "ALT + drag", it will duplicate the top most layer which is this 1PX border.
Mind you, I have Auto-Select set to Layer, and I can work around this by turning off the 1PX border, or using "CMD + J". However, sometimes I might forget to turn it back on, so would wanna find a proper fix for this issue, and "CMD + J" is just not as comfortable as "ALT + drag" with a Wacom tablet.
Any ideas on what can be done? I'm assuming PS sees even the transparent section of that box as a clickable object since it's technically covering the entire size of the canvas, but logically I would love for it to ignore the transparent fill.
Thank you!

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!

Anyway to set default on Pen tool to stroke and no fill?

It keeps resetting to stroke and white fill every time I draw a new line. I'd like it to stay at what I had it before (stroke and no fill). If it wont' stay with the last used setting, can the default be changed to have no stroke?
Thanks.

Set the stroke, fill, color, etc. that you want as default before you select a tool. Thereafter this will be the default. Do this also with character and paragraph settings or most any tool for that matter. If these defaults are something that you use day in/day out same them as a personal workspace.

How do i add filter to just brush strokes and paint fill not pencil.

Sorry it is kind of hard to explain in the description.
What i want to know is if i can pretty much just select the brush strokes and paint fill on a layer and have the pencil lines left alone.
I want to filter, then blur the brush strokes and paint fill on the layer but keep the pencil lines sharp, i have been doing paint fill and brush stroked on a different layer than the pencil lines but this takes ages because i have to draw the picture out twice everytime using the brush strokes to go along the pencil lines so i can fill them in with color, if i could blur them on same layer without effecting pencil lines then i could just fill the pencil lines with paint bucket instead of redarwing the lines with brush tool if this makes sence.
Here is a picture to show what im trying to achieve
The pencil lines are on a different layer to brush strokes

if you convert to a movieclip (right click>convert to symbol>movieclip) whatever you want to filter, you can filter it independent of other objects.

C309g Scanned files are saved as thick black lines and thin white lines

Hi there,
I am able to scan the documents and see them briefly in the HPScan software but once I have saved them (.pdf or .jpeg) and tried to open them in any application, all I get is a file that consists of thick black lines spaced out with thin white lines. Therefore whatever I scan is useless as it cannot be viewed in any way.
I am running Mac OSX Mavericks and have run all the updates and installed the latest drivers. Originally I was unable to save anything but after perfroming the updates I was able to save the scans but it triggered the black and white lines. The printer is connected to a network via Ethernet.
I tried scanning a blank white page but the output file is the same with the black and white lines.
Please help.

My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

Problems with fade to black transition and photoalbum themed titles

I keep having trouble with the titles in the photo album theme. When I use a fade to black transition and then try to use one of the top 4 titles available under the photos theme it seem like I have to move the title part of the way into the new clip or the fade to black transition just does not happen. It looks OK but the title come up after the new clip has been playing for several seconds and doesn't look as smooth. Any ideas?

One option is to create a "freeze frame" on the first frame of the new clip. Add your Photo Album title to the beginning of the new clip. Insert a fade to black transition between the preceding clip and the freeze frame. You may need to fiddle with the duration of both the freeze frame and the transition in order to get the timing right. Now, as the fade to black finishes you will see a short still segment just prior to the title commencing, as if the freeze frame is coming to life, so to speak. It looks quite effective, depending of course on the video content.
To add a freeze frame, right-click (or Control-click) on the appropriate frame, then select "Add Freeze Frame" from the pop-up menu. It's easier if you first move the thumbnail slider (lower right corner of the Projects window) to the half second mark, giving you a close-up view of your clips.

How to create an External Content Type with SQL Stored Procedures Parameters and query it in a SharePoint App

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.
http://arsalkhatri.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/external-list-with-bcs-search-filters-finders/
Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.

Conflicting inspection types with 101 for Purch Order and 101 for Proc Ordr

We have a material that can be purchased or produced in-house. When we purchase the material, we want to inspect it with a specific inspection plan for purchased material. When we produce the material with a 101 on the process order, we inspect but we typically create the inspection lot when the process order is created and NOT with the 101 GR movement. The process order creation inspection is different from the one we want on the purchase order receipt. We also sometimes have a need to create an inspection lot at the time of a GR on the process order for this material and we have created a 901 movement type (a copy of the 101) for this. However, in IMG customizing we can not update the inspection origin assigned to the movement type. When we try to post a GR to the process order using the 901 movement we get the inspection lot linked to the inspection type for the 101 of the purchase order receipt. I would like to resolve this problem with IMG customization as opposed to using a user EXIT.

Thank you for your responses. I finally had time to test these.
The inspection as the last step in the master recipe is not an option for our process.
Activating the 04 inspection type on the material master QM view, resulted in the 101 for the process order to post into QI and to create an inspection lot. I want the 101 for the process order to post to unrestricted and NOT create the inspection lot. I want the 901 (a clone of the 101) to post into QI and to CREATE the inspection lot. I have changed the configuration in OMJJ to deactivate QM for all 101's with all blanks in special stock and 'F' in Movement Indicator. The 901 movemens have QM active. Any other ideas or settings that I need to check/change?

Boolean types with entity framework code first and oracle provider

Working in a application that has to work in oracle and sqlServer. In SqlServer we have used "Bit" to store booleans and in oracle number(1).
Have check other threads in this forum, but didnt find any that fix my problem, sorry if this may have been discused before.
We have created a code first model were we find few bool properties mapped to database fields.
for example:
public partial class ZPruebaBooleano
public int Numero { get; set; }
public bool Booleano { get; set; }
Mapped as:
this.ToTable("ZPRUEBABOOLEANO", schema);
this.HasKey<int>(t => t.Numero);
this.Property(t => t.Numero).HasColumnName("NUMERO");
this.Property(t => t.Booleano).HasColumnName("BOOLEANO");
Also, sw added to the application configuration file (for simplicity we have test it without the use of any additional dll):
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="bool" value="edmmapping number(1,0)" />
<add name="byte" value="edmmapping number(3,0)" />
<add name="int16" value="edmmapping number(4,0)" />
<add name="int32" value="edmmapping number(9,0)" />
<add name="int64" value="edmmapping number(18,0)" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
I am confident that the provider factory read it when creating the model, because it provokes an exception if i add an invalid entry in any of the type names mapped in the file.
As i have find in other forums, this should work. But now i am not sure if should work always, including code first.
I have this exception when i excecute the code (translated from spanish, sorry for any mistake):
Type 'Edm.Boolean[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=]' from 'Booleano' to type'PruebaBooleanos.ZPruebaBooleano' is not compatyble with 'OracleEFProvider.number[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,Precision=38,Scale=0]'
Its funy that says Precision=38. The database is Number(1), i am sure about that, in fact this is the script:
CREATE TABLE ZPRUEBABOOLEANO
NUMERO NUMBER(15),
BOOLEANO NUMBER(1)
Also, i find it interesting that i was having this mistake even when i was not informing the table i was maping, like if the oracle provider didnt even check if the column was number(anything). Right now is well maped, table and schema.
I have test to create an integer property wrapped by the boolean one, as we can see in this code.
namespace PruebaBooleanos
public partial class ZPruebaBooleano
public int Numero { get; set; }
public bool Booleano
get
return iBooleano == 1 ? true : false;
set
iBooleano = value ? 1 : 0;
public int iBooleano { get; set; }
in this last case i ignored the boolean and mapped the integer.
That worked ok in oracle. But added 2 problems:
1. It fails in SqlServer, because in sql server is bit
2. Cant query the entity model using the boolean property as it is not maped to Database.
I could change the bit field in SqlServer to Number.
But i would like to keep bit in sqlserver and number(1) in oracle.
Anyone had a similar problem?
I am open to any ideas, thanks !!!
libo

It's cool. :)
Sure. I can upload an EDMX file that works against my database if you want to look at it. The relevant parts are probably much like you'd expect. I've removed some columns from this version to make it easier to read.
From the SSDL:
        <EntityType Name="PARAMETER">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="PARAMETER_CD" />
          </Key>
          <Property Name="PARAMETER_CD" Type="number" Nullable="false" Precision="4" />
          <Property Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" Type="number" Nullable="false" Precision="1" />
        </EntityType>From the CSDL:
<EntityType Name="PARAMETER">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="PARAMETER_CD" />
          </Key>
          <Property Type="Int16" Name="PARAMETER_CD" Nullable="false" />
          <Property Type="Boolean" Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" Nullable="false" />
        </EntityType>From the C-S mapping:
<EntitySetMapping Name="PARAMETER">
            <EntityTypeMapping TypeName="Model.PARAMETER">
              <MappingFragment StoreEntitySet="PARAMETER">
                <ScalarProperty Name="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" ColumnName="PARAMETER_ACTIVE_INDR" />
                <ScalarProperty Name="PARAMETER_CD" ColumnName="PARAMETER_CD" />
              </MappingFragment>
            </EntityTypeMapping>
          </EntitySetMapping>Also worth noting that the EDMX mapper probably won't set the provider and token correctly:
<Schema Namespace="Model.Store" Alias="Self" Provider="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" ProviderManifestToken="11.2" xmlns:store="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/12/edm/EntityStoreSchemaGenerator" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/02/edm/ssdl">Full version is available at http://www.hiredgoons.ca/DataImport.edmx . This is an early development one so I make no apologies for not renaming columns to something readable. ;) It does work correctly as I've had it in testing (taking data from a 170MB excel file and putting it into Oracle using the model). It was created using DB First.
When you have it load at runtime, you need the application configuration settings to map bool to number(1). If that's in app.config or web.config it'll pick it up. Probably worth noting that if you don't have the configuration setting and you load this, the model doesn't validate correctly. As soon as you try to create a DbContext from it, you get an immediate exception that number(1) doesn't map to boolean.

Start up issues with T707, lit black screen and directional pad.

Hi,
I really need some help with my T707. I'm currently getting a black screen when I turn it on, and it won't advance further. The directional pad lights up, and it just stays that way. What can I do, is there anyway to reset it? Whenever I take the charger off, it is no longer lit, and I have tried a couple of batteries, and they don't appear to make a difference. I've tried restoring factory settings, but I can't get it to be detected by my PC.
Thanks in advance,

Crystal Reports with SAP R/3 FM and Transparent Tables

Hello Everybody,
Can somebody tell me how can we use R/3 FM and Tables in Crystal reports?
Can you send in some documentation if you have. And explain to me in detailed steps please.
Your help is greatly appreciated as I am in need of some good help.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks,

Hi,
For functions to be used in a report, they must meet two conditions:
u2022 Functions must have defined return types for each of the output
parameters.
u2022 Functions must not have whole tables as input parameters.

Clipping masks in ai CS5 deletes strokes and other crazy things

When creating a clipping mask, Illustrator CS5 deletes the stroke on the mask itself and when I add the stroke back in, it adds the same stroke to objects within the clipping mask.
In the file below, Figure 1 shows a rectangle with a black stroke and an orange circle with no stroke. Figure 2 shows the result of creating a clipping mask - the black stroke on the rectangle has been deleted. Figure 3 shows the result of adding the black stroke to the mask - it adds the stroke to the orange circle as well.
This is one of the many things about Illustrator that lead me to believe that the people at Adobe have never tried to work with their own programs. Why on earth would I want the stroke to be eliminated in the first place and why would I want it to be added to the items inside the mask when I go to replace it?
Is there something I should do differently or is this yet another oversight I'll have to work around forever?

Thank you to Larry and Scott! That's exactly right. I wasn't aware that by making a clipping mask you also make a group (and I'm not entirely sure that it logically should) but using the direct selection tool does the trick.
Thanks again,
Dave
