Points not obeying grid-snapping, or any snapping-rules where merged.

This is my situation.
1. Draw a line... It snaps to grid perfectly.
2. Draw another line... It snaps to grid perfectly.
3. Merge line1 with line 2 at one end... (It seems snapped to grid, but shows a "+" protruding connection so I zoom, and it is fine close-up...
4. Move the point to a new grid-snap point to see if it draws better zoomed-out 100% without showing overlapping on this single point... However, now it snaps everywhere except onto the grid. Like all around the point, just not on the point. Now it will no longer snap to any grid-point or other point, always being "off". (This does not resolve by adding a new point and breaking the line. The whole line now refuses to snap to any actual point. It is always offset by an unsteady ammount/percent. Sometimes it is real close, sometimes it is about 50% between all snap-points.)
Resolution = None... Never move points once set, and naver intersect a third line to a point, and never intersect one line with another.
Results... everything looks misaligned, slightly off-angle, can not make any true aligned items, unless I use line-thickness 3, to hide the off-angles from misaligned points.

This is what is happening, at a programming level...
Once a point is "merged/union", at the intersection. That point it is now located, becomes an offset to the actual "Grid". However, (for some reason only on intersected lines), the offset interferes with snapping. It will SNAP, at your grid-distance, at a slight offset, never on the actual intersection. It starts to "snap", as if the grid is offset, staying on the lines, but invisible lines that are not the grid.
The only resolution to get the line to go back to the grid, is to use the arrow-keys to bump it the 5.0-0.1 pixels it is off. (In my case with a 10px grid.)
However, moving the point again, causes it to start snapping to the phantom-invisible grid-lines, and it will have to be nudged with the arrow-keys to push it back to an actual grid location.
Also, however... This does nothing to resolve the zoomed-out view which shows top-left intersections displaying as a "+" when they are truly intersected. Also noticing that the lower-right lines alwys seem "open", not connected. (Drawing a standard rectangle with a line-width of 1px shows the "open" bottom corner.)
Somewhere in code, there is an issue with drawing. Zoomed-out it is drawing "top-left" of pixel-locations, but zoomed-in, it is drawing from the "center" of the pixels. Thus, this akward offset, which is always top-left offset, and causing what seems to be "holes" on the bottom-right of intersections.
(Might be a direct-x thing, becuse MS draws/calculates from top-left. GL draws from center. Most software draws bottom-right. Due to copyrighted "formulas" for drawing.)
I suspect antialias may also be interfering with the drawings, as it completely messes-up curved-rectangles, making them look bowed-out not curved on the corners. Again, someone is using a GL formula for a MS translation, or software-formula for MS translation, not using the off-set adjustment to match the middle-draw to the top-left draw code.

    Anchor points move as I pull them but snap back into place. If I pull them out further, they snap to a new location but not precisely where I want them to. Help?

    either snap to grid or align to pixel grid yet again, i guess.

  • "MMC could not create the snap in.The Snap in might not have been instaled

    Hi ,
       After completed installation of NWDS SP 14 version and after system
    restart,our local  server is not working its showing an error.
       "MMC could not create the snap in.The Snap in might not have been
    installed correctly."
    SAP Logon is also now working in my system. NWDS is not properly installed i
    think.
    Actually on that day gui also i have installed on our local server.
    but when i login through <sidadm> server showing tree & also i am able to start server.
    but i am not able to uninstall & install any gui or nwds...
    what to do.....

    Hi,
       MMC is not specific to GUI or MWDS. It is a management tool to start/stop server. It has nothing to do with GUI or NWDS.
    1) Login with admin account (windows admin account, say sidadm) and check if MMC loads the tree with nodes for server instances. If so, use that and start server.
    2) If required, check with authorizations for the windows account
    3) If nothing works, then check these threads.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

    Any thoughts?

    Found this fix here which worked for me with a similar problem.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196594?start=0&tstart=0
    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well.

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of iTunes.  I get an "SoftwareUpdate.exe - Entry Point Not Found error".  Any idea what might cause this?

    THe error box says procedure entry point not found....then a string of code that "could not be located in the SoftwareUpdateFiles.dll".
    I'm try to update my software so I can sync my iPhone with my current iTunes library.
    any help greatly appreciated.

    Let's first try a repair install of your Apple Software Update.
    In your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select Apple Software Update, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does the repair go through okay? If so, try another iTunes update. Does it install properly this time?

  • CR XI R2 Viewer not obeying printer collation setting?

    Just noticed this. Steps to duplicate: Print a printjob to the viewer. Hit print button in Viewer. Change to 2 copies, change collation, print.
    Result is the same whether you select a collation of 111 222 333 or 123 123 123. Printout is printed as 11 22 33.
    Seems like the viewer is not obeying the collation setting of the print dialogue.
    Can this be fixed?

    Hi Anders,
    I found this forum thread - [Collate Copies bugs|Collate Copies bugs; - that discusses this issue. According to one of Ludek's replies he tested printer collating with both CR XI R2 and CR2008 and it worked correctly for him, though that might have been in the designer directly.
    Unfortunately CR XI R2 is anything but cutting edge at this point. As noted previously CR XI R2 won't be receiving any further updates. Earlier updates are no longer available, so if you don't have earlier Service Packs there's no way to "go back" to an earlier file version for testing.
    Hopefully some else has some additional thoughts.
    Sincerely,

  • 100% Width Not 100% Grid

    With most designs you want a fluid header/footer but you want you content centered within a max 1180 Grid (not edge to edge). Can you do this in Reflow without having to nest divs and give it a max-width. (Doing this only allows you access to about 10 columns of your 12 column grid, which makes the concept of the grid a little pointless).

    I have the same issues, I need some elements that would be 100% width in my design, but the content itself to work in 12 column grid at a max of 1200/1180px to allow those full width
    Right now you have to have 100% for the columns widths to allow those full width rows to fill browser but it then makes it hard to work to 12 col grid of 100px columns. I would like to set grid to 1200px and snap to this, but for this grid to work in background and not itself act as a container for all elements then added. Sites like http://www.desk.com/ and http://www.shopify.com/ demonstrate this type of design.
    Currently I have a 12 column graphic I can use as a background, but of course I cannot snap to grid with this. Maybe guides would be an answer as an alternative?
    I would also love to see an assets librray where I could store common elements (e.g blog listing) and drag onto page as well as a swtaches, so if I use colour swatch "primary" on lots of elements on the pages, I can go and change the "primary swatch colour" and everything is just updated.

  • Error message when clicking on links from thunderbird: Firefox.exe – Entry Point Not found

    When I click on any link in a Thunderbird email message I get the error message:
    Firefox.exe – Entry Point Not found
    The procedure entry point ?DllBlocklist_Initialize@@YAXXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library T:\PQligP sFuvy (X86)\pJPpSox HneiCFv\GwCMqTQ.Oqt.
    I tried uninstalling Firefox 27 completely and reinstalling it, and the error is still there. When I uninstall V27 and install the older V26 the error disappears. Id there an issue with V27 trying to work with links from Thunderbird?
    I am on a laptop running Windows 8.1 with all current downloads.

    Thanks for the reply - as best as I can tell it seems to be some kind of incompatibility between Thunderbird V24.3.0 and Firefox V27. If I install Firefox V26 then everything works as it should. I haven't tried installing a previous version of Thunderbird to see if that makes a difference.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Why is my itunes not installing properly?
    I installed itunes day before yesterday,  I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
    I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
    on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:

  • TNS Listener: Entry Point Not Found

    First I installed 8.1.6 Personal edition
    on my laptop (NT4 SP5):
    Folder: d:\orant.
    Oracle Home: DEFAULT_HOME
    That went fine. I could connect to the database with SQLPLUS, DBA etc.
    Then I tried to install Portal using:
    Folder: d:\9iAS
    Oracle Home: iSuites
    Spent three days trying to get Portal to install ok. Have finally got through the installation of 9iAS (HTTP Server Only), which the Universal Installer claims to be successfull.
    Started the Apache Server and tried to connect to the portal. I get the following error message:
    Proxy log On failed.
    Please verify that you have specified correct connectivity information i.e.username, password & connect-string in the Database Access Descriptor

    Any ideas what to check?

    I have found the solution of my problem from Oracle9i Portal's Configuration Guide , the troubleshooting part. The document can be found in the Oralce9i Documentation web site.
    The problem is that I set the incorrect information in my tnsnames.ora file when installing Oracle9i Portal.
    The solution is set the host name, port number and SID in the tnsnames.ora file. This file is located at
    \Oracle_Home\network\admin\
    Here is the example of the content in that file:
    PORTALDB_MyHost =

    I have uninstalled and re-installed Xcelsius with the same results.
    Also, when I open Crystal Reports 2008, the "Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 - Software Manager" opens and shows an update available - SP2.

    After some research, I believe my CR Runtime app may be a different version than what Xcelsius.exe is expecting, but I don't know how to check or fix that. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi
    I think I've managed to fix this error. I compared the TreeBtnExtDll.dll in my Xcelsius directory on the machine that wasn't working and one that was and found that the broken machine was using an older and smaller version of TreeBtnExtDll.dll. 89k and a date in 2008 I think. So I copied my newer version which was 109 k and dated 11/2009 into the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius directory of the broken machines and now xcelsius appears to be working fine.
    I had lots of trouble installing the SP3 release because of the media issues so maybe the install wasn't complete.
    Anyway, I hope this helps you
