Points (pt) to millimeters (mm)

Hi,
I'm using Illustrator CC 2014 for my printwork and I'm having some minor personal issues with the point system that Illustrator is using. It's printwork so I'd like it to be millimeters. In this case I'm not talking about the change you can do at Preferences -> Units. I've already set everything in millimeters and this has no effect on the panel information about elements or when moving text. How can I change the points (pt) to millimeters (mm) permanently? Unfortunately just setting width + height in millimeters in the input fields is not enough when it changes it back to points.

Two seconds after I posted this I tried another Google search and found the answer
Someone who has enough powah should delete this post.

  • How Do I Change Picas to Inches?

    How do I change a document that was set up in picas to
    inches?

    > How do I change a document that was set up in picas to
    inches?
    The should be dropdown menu in the bottom of the screen. Or
    at least it is where I have it - do not know where the deafault
    place is.
    This is what FreeHand Help file, accesible by pressing F1
    (Win), has to say about units.
    Setting units of measure
    FreeHand offers precision and flexibility for entering
    numeric values and displaying the rulers and grid:
    You can choose from points, picas, inches, decimal inches,
    millimeters, kyus, centimeters, or pixels to display in the rulers,
    panels, and dialog boxes.
    You can override the default unit of measure in numeric text
    boxes. If you override the default unit of measure, FreeHand
    automatically converts the value to the default unit of measure.
    For example, entering 125m in a text box yields 125 millimeters
    instead of 125 points; the 125-millimeter value is automatically
    converted to 354.3307 points.
    You can enter mathematical equations and combine units of
    measure in numeric text boxes to have FreeHand automatically
    calculate values for you.
    You can define custom units of measure equivalent to other
    units of measure, including meters, feet, miles, ciceros, and
    didots. For more information, see Using the rulers.
    To set the unit of measure for an entire document:
    1
    Click the Units pop-up menu in the Status toolbar (Windows)
    or in the bottom of the Document window (Macintosh).
    2
    Select a unit of measure.
    This setting affects almost all numeric text boxes except
    the text-related settings based on points. For example, if the
    Units pop-up menu is set to inches, entering 12 in a font size text
    box yields 12-point type regardless of the unit of measure.
    To set a unit of measure other than the default in a numeric
    text box:
    1
    Enter a numeric value followed by the unit--i for inches, p
    for picas, pt for points, m for millimeters, c for centimeters, and
    x for pixels.
    For example, enter 7p for 7 picas.
    2
    Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
    To specify a value using mathematical functions:
    1
    Enter numeric values and create an equation using any of the
    following mathematical symbols:
    + (addition)
    – (subtraction)
    * (multiplication)
    / (division)
    Multiplication and division operations are evaluated before
    addition and subtraction if you combine these operations.
    You can combine different units in an equation. For example,
    if the default unit of measure in the Units menu is set to points,
    entering 4*50-49, 71+80, or 2i + p7 in a text box yields 151
    points. If you enter an invalid equation or unit, FreeHand tries to
    resolve it or enters 0.
    2
    Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).

  • X230T stylus accuracy?

    I recently bought an X230T after ten years on Mac Powerbooks / Macbook Pros.
    Unfortunately, I have found the X230T's stylus to be really inaccurate, especially towards the top and sides of the screen. The pointer floats several millimeters down from the actual tip of the stylus. I work with digital images and mostly use Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and CameraBits Photo Mechanic. The X230T is advertised as a tablet PC but as such, I have found it to be unfit for purpose.
    I have had the latop less than a week, so called Lenovo this morning to request a return.
    Before I send the thing back, can anyone suggest how I might be able to improve the stylus accuracy? I've run calibration over and over, and have installed Wacom's 7.1.0-8 driver, but there has been no improvement.
    Many thanks.

    Watch this video. The info you want starts at about 1:30.
    Bottom line, it is very important to keep the same, fairly vertical angle on the stylus when calibration.
    Hope this helps.

  • X11 pointer color changes to yellow

    if i log in to a linux machine via ssh the original shell has the correct colors and appearance. from the remote host if i then launch an X application (xterm, emacs, etc) the pointer color changes to yellow. the cursor color remains black but the arrow/i-beam pointer color changes. this is repeatable across linux machines.
    this does not happen using my powerbook running 10.4.5 and X11 v 1.1. however it always happens on my MacBookPro running 10.4.5 and X11 v 1.1. while it sounds trivial it is very bothersome as a yellow cursor tends to disappear on everything but a very dark background.
    i have noticed does not happen when the remote host is OS X or solaris but does happen if it is linux (red hat, fedora, or yellow dog). while it may well be a difference in the linux implementation it did not appear until i ran X11 on an intel-based OS X machine.
    has anyone else seen this? fix or work-around?
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Which display? The mini's? I'll try and see.
    Well, without restarting everything when I changed it it had no effect, thousands or 256 was still the same.
    I have a G3 running 10.3 here that doesn't have the problem though, going to the same linux box, if that means anything.
    This is the xdpyinfo from my box, basic FC3 install. I'll run a diff against yours to see if there's anything there.

  • Start a new Document with Millimeters

    Hi there,
    I am new to Illustratror Scripting.
    I changed a Script from William Ngan, http://www.metaphorical.net and http://forums.adobe.com/message/3813716?tstart=1
    It saves EPS-files instead of AI-Files. But the Units are still in PT. I want them to be in Millimeters and the artboard isn't focused on the viewport.
    I suppose it's RulerUnits.Millimeters but somehow it doesn't work and when I pick a line it shows pt. I don't know how to write it. Perhaps you find the solution.
    I deleted the Comments of William so it's not as long as the original. I tried at the line:
    var newdoc = app.documents.add ( doc.documentColorSpace, doc.width, doc.height );
    I thought this would help:
    newdoc.RulerUnits = doc.RulerUnits;
    But it doesn't work. Hope it shows the idea.
    /* Here the Script starts */
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var docname = (doc.name.split('.'))[0]; // name
    var doc_artboard = doc.artboards[0].artboardRect;

    Muppet Mark and pixxxel schubser were totally right! I thank both of you!
    Now it's time for me to share the working version. The Preset "Druck" is for the german version. It's "Print" for the international.
    The Script saves layers as individual EPS-Files. The RulerUnits are Millimeters not Point. The viewport is still not focused on the Artboard when opening the document but that's ...

    var docname = (doc.name.split('.'))[0]; // name

    function saveEPS( path, name, id ) {

  • BigDecimal vs floating points...

    Hi all,
    I know its probably been asked amillion times before but I need to finally fully understand and get my head around the two.
    Firstly here are some bits I've been told by different people and read in different places (alot of people seem to think differently which is what confuses me):
    - I've read that if you are wanting precision for currency for example that floating point shouldnt be used because of its accuracy down to the fact it cant represent every decimal number.
    - The some people have told me that it doesnt matter and theres not much point ,ost the time in BigDecimal all you need to do is correct the floating point with formatting.
    - I've asked about this before but people just seem to give me a short answer to it but without actually explaining why or where they get it from, you cant just assume an answer based on nothing...
    I'm building some engineering software that has a general accuracy of 3 decmial places (millimeters from meters) and my first thought is that if currency at 2 decimal places requires BigDecimal then I surely require it (I cant afford to be missing off mm for every calculation, theres alot!) but the problem is this has resulted in me building pretty much the whole application with BigDecimal which you can probably imagine brings up thoughts about performance and memory uptake, I do calculations with BigDecimal, store data in BigDecimal and infact the only thing I do in double is the graphical display as the accuracy isnt so important.
    My last question is if this is an ok way to build an accurate application it makes me start to wonder why is floating points used more than BigDecimals, surely most numbers are required to be accurate in applications especially of an enterprise scale?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    So your a big user of BigDecimal as well then? Thats good to know someone else thinks in similar ways, I was starting to feel like abit of an idiot for using them so extensively lolNot at all. The idiots are the people who use primitives rather than BigDecimal "because they're faster" even though they've never actually experienced any performance problems. Of course, there are lots of cases where the speed of a primitive is preferable, but on the whole those guys know perfectly well who they are and what they're doing.
    My program is very calculation heavy and I've not had any real performance issues yet but I was wondering if the performance gain would be significant enough while keeping the accuracy.Testing will show you the way. Don't let any "we tested this calculation a million times using primitives and the same one using BigDecimal, and it showed a remarkable 3 seconds quicker using primitives" sidetrack you, either. All that matters is that your actual production code is performant enough for your application. Generally speaking, anything involving currency will probably be better using BigDecimal, or, really, a Money class which happens to use BigDecimal under the covers. Quite why enterprise-targeted languages don't have some sort of native Money or Currency class out-of-the-box remains a mystery, to be honest.

  • In order to create space on my MBA I just bumped iTunes media to G drive linked through Time Capsule.  Now pointed iTunes at new iTunes libary on G drive and, even though all music files are there, iTunes can only 'see' 10 albums. Any help appreciated.

    Bit more detail...
    Mac Book Air has been struggling for space for a while so I bough at time capsule a) for back up and b) to host my itunes folder remotely.  This didnt' work.  I took it into the Genius bar and the genius there told me that time capsule is not designed for anything other than back up.  Instead I have to connect a G drive through the time capsule's wireless router to my MBA. 
    I followed his instructions - moved my files from the Time Capsule and MBA directly onto the G Drive - which took a heartening 2 hrs so something must have been happening - and the held down 'Alt' when starting iTunes and selected the new itunes folder as the location of my itunes libarary which I wanted iTunes to 'point at'.  When I opened iTunes only 10 albums are visible now.
    In ITunes advanced preferences it says it is pointing at the correct folder.  The files are all cleary there when I open the G Drive folder to take a look.  But I cannot get iTunes to find them.
    Any suggestions? 
    Secondary challenge - in spite of deleting the original itunes folder on my MBA I still get messages pop up telling me my start up disk is out of space and I need to clear some - I expected to stop getting this message now I had done this exercise above.  I have emptied Trash.  Again - any pointers appreciated.  I am new to this world of 'intuitive' macbooks.
    Cheers

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • After Drive Replacement, iTunes Points To Wrong Folder Even After Adjusting Settings

    I moved my music to a new hard drive. I then adjusted settings within iTunes to "point" to the folder on the new drive. The folder name is identical as are all the files within it. I did this a few months back and had no issues once iTunes "located" my files. All files played, playlists remained intact. This time however only a small portion of my files successfully "located" and the remaining 75% are unplayable. When "shown in finder", the unplayable tracks point to a completely random folder within my mail folder of obviously non-music files. I've been searching for weeks how to fix this to no avail. I definitely do not want to lose my playlists, play counts, etc. so starting from scratch with iTunes is not an option for me. Please advise how to fix this very odd issue!
    iMac 3.4 Ghz i7
    OSX 10.8.5
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 (just updated)

    To resolve this we will need details.  I don't know exactly what is where.  Even though it "worked last time" I see people post with that and almost invariably there is something different in the scenario this time.
    The iTunes application alone has no idea where media files are.  You could drag all the media folders you like to the Media folder and it won't know.  You could "point" iTunes to that folder in preferences and it still will never look there.  iTunes knows where files are because as you add them to iTunes it puts them in the Media folder and makes a note in that .itl file where the files are located.  When you try to play a track iTunes looks up in the .itl file which media file it should try to play when you request the track and goes to that location to play the file.  If there file isn't there you get !  You have to mend the links one by one, or iTunes might try, based on you repairing links. to repair other links, but it doesn't usually work that way and is only partly successful at times (as we have already discussed).  If you have ever walked into a store and see an empty shelf but their web site says they have 3 in stock and the sales person says all their stock is out on the shelf, iTunes is like that.
    Here's a bunch of links on how iTunes works.  As you can see, an entire library is a whole bunch of files and support folders working in concert and when they get split up iTunes starts misbehaving.

  • Air app pointing to wrong folder (how can I change it?)

    Hi,
    I couldnt find a proper answer in all internet, but it should be something easy.
    Everything works fine with php connections in my mac.
    However when I compile the release version, and install on my windows, I get this error:
    Send failed
    Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 404: url: 'http://localhost/client_folder/app_name-debug/gateway.php'
    I have already configured the services-config.xml to point to my gateway.php and the amf_config.ini to point to my framework.
    (I hope end users won't have to set it manually)
    Still, I'm getting this error pointing to an absolute path to reach the gateway.php
    Is it something I should declare in action script to make it a relative path? I have checked the $variables to replace in the Server Output Folder path, but maybe this is not related to my issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Btp~

    Tap on the blue arrow for the network in the lst, and it should take you to the details page.
    There a button there labeled Forget this network. Tap it. go back to the network list and choose the network again.

  • Songs that I have purchased are missing in iTunes (file not found/exclmation point), and do not show up in the iTunes Store for download.

    I have a laptop that has (or had) pretty much all of my music, both burned from CDs and downloaded from iTunes. My 17 year old son on occasion syncs his iPhone and iPad with this laptop. As of the last sync (as best I can determine), many songs that I purchased in the past few years are now missing, in that they have an exclamation point to the left of the song title, and when I try to play the song, I get an error message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found" or something to that effect. As it turns out, the file seems to be erased. This has happened multiple times, and I could be wrong, but I believe that there are some songs that had the exclmation point last time he synced that now don't, and vice-versa. There is not an obvious correlation or grouping as to why these songs are missing (e.g,. they were not all purchased on the same date, not all songs from one artist are missing, etc.).
    Since most of these songs have been purchased through iTunes through my account, my reaction was to go to the iTunes store, log in with my account, and re-download them. Problem is, all of these songs instead ask me to purchase the song, instead of displaying a "cloud" logo. Therefore, it appears that I have to re-purchase these songs, which does not sound correct.
    Questions: Does anyone know, most importantly (to get an immediate fix):
    1. How can I re-download these songs and why doesn't iTunes Store recognize that I have already purchased them?
    and perhaps as important (more of a long-term question):
    2. Why does this happen and how can I prevent this from happening again (since it has happened multiple times)?
    Thanks.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

    Hi guys.
    I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
    I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
    I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
    Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
    This is the report error.
    Cheers,

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    How do I find a previously passcode to link a wireless keyboard (Model A101urs6) to a Mac Power Book G4 running 10.5.8.  The keyboard was linked at one point in the past, but then not used.  When I am trying to hook it up now, it requires the passcode.  Where can I find this, or is there a general number I can use?
