Pathfinder for shapes only? Can't minus front object from back...

Hi. I'm trying to minus the shape of the brown 'steam swirl' from the black swirl behind. I tried minus front in pathfinder but a warning pop-up says "the filter produced no results. Please select 2 intersecting paths" How are the two objects not intersecting? I tried deleting the brown object and simply have no fill on the black swirl but it dosen't look good. Any ideas?

Sure, Monika, but it's just what the screenshot shows and there it is pretty obvious what objects are meant.
As it is not obvious about what specific objects we are talking in the sample file, I'd suggest another approach.
Select the black shape, go to Object > Path > Outline Stroke, then in the Pathfinder panel Unite (Add to Shape). Then select both the beige and black shape and do Pathfinder Subtract. Or just create a compound path
One could also use the Pathfinder effects in that case.

  • I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

    i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

    I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
    On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
    I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
    The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
    Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
    Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

  • HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content  from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything.  Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too.  When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account.  Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
    To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

  • I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8?

    I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8 and not keep all data?

    I am new to the Apple Support community but am hopeful that you can help me!!  I have just bought a MacBook Air, migrated my stuff and found that my Quicken for Mac 2005 is no longer supported. (I still have my Quicken 2005 working on my Mac OS X - Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard?)  I saw a thread of communications back in 2012/13 where you helped a lot of people find ways to get their 2005 data into new versions - something about a $15 purchase.  However, I can't find those discussions again.  AND I don't know if they are 'relevant' because I'm now using the latest Yosemite, which someone just told me to upgrade for free....But this same person told me to switch to iBank, which others who have used Quicken for years didn't like.  I'd just as soon stay with Quicken but it seems like they have less support for Mac users.  Do you think I can move my data successfully still?  I live and work overseas and leave the USA on Monday and am trying to leave my older MacBook Air (the one with my 2005 Quicken on it) here....
    Thanks for any advice.

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)
    Transport

  • How we can remove  one authorization object from multiplt roles

    How we can remove one authorization object from multiplt roles

    > Correct me if I am wrong !!
    O.K., Here I go
    > But if the object is maintained in SU24 and if you use Expert mode for generation of the role then again those objects may be pulled.(make sure you never use expert mode once you delete the objects)
    Actually using expert mode and choosing 'edit old status' is the only way to avoid objects being 'pulled in' after menu changes.
    > As jurjen said, you may download the tables and instead of deleting the object from the excel sheet, change the value of the object in column "DELETED" = X, by doing this only the objects get inactivated(but remain in PFCG).
    I am not speaking of downloading tables but about downloading roles from PFCG. This will not get you a spreadsheet but a flat textfile. If you whish to set the object status to deleted you'll have to swap the space on position 207, right behind the 'U, S, G' flag,  with an 'X' for all corresponding lines.

  • Can we extract blob objects from sql database to a human readable format?

    Hi All,
    I have question How can we extract
    blob objects from Sql database to human readable format ?
    Blob includes Images, text and docs.
    Thanks 
    Moug
    Best Regards Moug

    One thing you can do if its sql 2012 or later is to load the blob data to FileTable created in database. Then you would be able to physically browse to directory it points and see all files in its native format.
    see this for more details

  • I can't read a Object from file, Please help me

    i want to write a Object into File. this is code of Object
    class objStoreCus implements Comparable, Serializable
    String customerID = new String();
    String customerName = new String();
    String customerEmail = new String();
    objStoreCus(String cusID, String cusName, String cusEmail)
    customerID = cusID;
    customerName = cusName;
    customerEmail = cusEmail;
    objStoreCus(){}
    public int compareTo(Object o)
    objStoreCus oS = new objStoreCus();
    oS = (objStoreCus)o;
    return(customerEmail.compareTo(oS.customerEmail));
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s) throws IOException {
    s.defaultWriteObject();
    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    try
    s.defaultReadObject();
    }catch(IOException ie){throw new IOException();}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cnt){throw new ClassNotFoundException();}
    And I was wrote above Object into File by this code :+
    FileOutputStream fos;
    ObjectOutputStream oos;
    FileInputStream fis;
    ObjectInputStream ois;
    public void writeObjToFile(objStoreCus obj)
    try
    fos = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    //ghi doi tuong vao file
    oos.writeObject(obj);
    //dong stream
    oos.close();
    fos.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    But i can't read above Object from file. allway have a Exception occur "StreamCorruptedException".
    this is code read Object form file :
    *parameter is ArrayList will be store Object from file.
    public void readObjFromFile(ArrayList al)
    try
    fis = new FileInputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
    while(true)
    try
    objStoreCus osc = new objStoreCus();
    osc = (objStoreCus)ois.readObject();
    System.out.println(osc.customerEmail);
    }catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    //System.out.println();
    break;
    ois.close();
    fis.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    }

    Problem lies in
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    You are trying to append to that file, You should always use new file to serialize objects.
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    Try with above line.

  • Shape distorted after using Minus-Front

    Hello -
    I have a white rectangle with black type on top. When I try to mask out the type so that the background color shows through the rectangle, the shape of the mask is distorted. The text was outlined before doing [pathfinder-minus front] and it looked fine before doing pathfinder. After pathfinder the shape is distorted. Notice the E, the Z and the J.
    Why is this happening? It's really frustrating. Thanks for the help.

    YES!! Thank you!!!

  • How can I change printing preferences from "back to front" to "front to back".

    I've checked 'advanced' preferences and "front to back" is checked but that is not how it prints and I can't seem to change it.

    You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download  10.7 Lion. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Can you create an object from a string

    I have been working on creating a dynamic form, creating the
    form items from an xml file. I am getting very close to conquering
    this task. I will share it when it's complete.
    However, I am stuck at the moment trying to create an object
    from a string. For example, if the xml item is an HBox I want to
    create an HBox. Like this: parentObject = new arrayOfFormItems[
    index ]..type ()
    This isn't working. First, is this possible using some syntax
    I am unaware of in Flex? I don't want to use a large if or case
    statement if possible.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thank you very much. Indeed that did solve the one problem. I
    missed the casting as a Display Object. That is awesome!
    I do still however, have to instantiate one of every item I
    want to dynamically create or I get the following error when I try
    to create a dynamic object that I have not instantiated before.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable HBox is not defined.
    at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
    at MyForm/buildForm()
    at DynamicForm/::onComplete()
    at
    flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
    I read that you have no choice but to instantiate one of each
    type to force the linker to link the code for that class into the
    .swf. Unless you know another way to force it.
    This is what I have in my Application mxml to get it to work:
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Text visible="false"/>
    <mx:TextArea visible="false"/>
    <mx:TextInput visible="false"/>
    <mx:DateField visible="false"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    And those are the types I'm using to test with. . . I will
    have to add all the others I want to use as well . . .

  • Why I can't delete an object from Integration Directory?

    Hi!
    I want to delete one object from ID(Integration Directory) or IR
    (Integration Repository). But the delete button (either the trash can
    or the "delete" menu item) is disabled.
    I get sap_all and all wanted roles. But I still have this issue.
    Please help. Points will be given.

    Lee,
    If you want to delete a namespace you cannot delete until unless all the objects inside the namespace are deleted. If you want to delete any object in ID then right click on it and press Delete.
    Go through this weblog where it shows how to delete namespace:

  • Can't minus front an image on top of a shape?

    Basically the title, any help please? Sorry if this is a lack of information.

    Draw a circle, select the bottom point with the white arrow and delete it. Apply a thick stroke to the circle and scale it so that it fits the template. Then you can either draw some straight lines with the line segment tool, or far quicker: take the pen tool. Then click on one of the endpoints of the circle, press the shift key and click some inches below. Then press Ctrl and click somewhere else to deselect and repeat with the other endpoint.
    To draw the bottom part of the keyhole, you could combime a circle and a rectangle. Or draw a line with a thick stroke and a round end cap (when done use Objct > Path > Outline stroke). Or you could draw a rectangle and round its corners to the maximum. What ever is more appropriate for you.
