Problem resizing certain objects

I converted a project from Captivate 1 to 2. I noticed that I
am having trouble resizing certain objects. For example, by
clicking on a highlight box, I expected the sizing handles to show
up on the object so I could resize it. The handles weren't there. I
ended up having to delete the object and create a new one.
Constrain Proportions is "unchecked." By the way, this doesn't
happen everytime. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. Is
there a patch for Captivate 2 I could install?

Hi Jerilyn
Indeed a patch does exist for Captivate 2. However, I'm very
doubtful it will have any effect on what you reported.
Unfortunately, we see many such reports here in the forums with odd
behavior related to projects that were "converted" from version 1.
If you are interested,

Technical Note regarding the hot fix.

Problems resizing certain jpegs in cs6

When I resize certain jpegs in Photoshop and then save, the file size remains the same. It has definately been resized because it shows a new file size in PS.
I've never encountered this before until a couple of weeks back. Has anyone had the same problem.

See Replace Your Preferences and if that doesn't do it, see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup for a list of other things to delete from the original account.
When all else fails, rename the Adobe folders in your user library (remmber, there are TWO folders, anf they're hidden, so see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion) and copy the ones from the guest account.

Problem resizing objects

I really think I may have lost it on this one. I am having
problems resizing any object inside of illustrator. Normally when i
use my selection tool, There is a box around the whole object that
I can click and drag to resize. It's not there, and consequently, I
can resize anything without going to
Object>Transform> Scale... and that's just too much.
Is there a setting I somehow messed with that did this? I am
completely lost. I dont even have a clue what is goin on anymore.
Any help would be much appreciated!

You may have hit CTRL+SHIFT+B which hides the bounding box
around objects. so hit CTRL+SHIFT+B again to see if that fixes the
issue. You can also find it view/ under "Show
Rulers"
Sorry Dreamweaverites for replying to an Illustrator question

Resizing selected objects

Ok, so I am trying to write a script that resizes an object that is selected. I have two objects selected, the one on top is a group item, the one below it is a rectangle. I am trying to resize the rectangle to the size of the group item on top of it with a little margin around it. Here is what I have so far.
var design = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
     var top=design.visibleBounds[1]+5*2;
     var left=design.visibleBounds[0]-5*2;
     var width=design.visibleBounds[2]-design.visibleBounds[0]+10*2;
     var height=design.visibleBounds[1]-design.visibleBounds[3]+10*2;
var background = app.activeDocument.selection[1];
background.position = (top, left, width, height);
The problem is the last line there. I'm not sure how to manipulate the position/size of the selected object or if it is even possible I have searched for it and haven not found an answer. Thanks in advance!

position property expects an Array, with x and y values, in that order. As for the width and height properties, use them in separate statements
background.position = [left, top];
background.width = width;
background.height = height;

Smart Guides, Constrain Proportions and Resizing an Object.

When I have Smart Guides on and I'm trying to resize an object while holding shift (to constrain) Indesign seems to ignore the shift key. Usually when there's other objects in close proximity, or just closely aligned, vertically or horizontally. The image I posted is a good example. Trying to resize the bracket object while near all those other objects results in a lot of skipping around, and constrain not working. You can see in the image the outline is not constrained, even though I'm holding the shift key. It just wants to jump to those Smart Guides regardless of what I'm trying to tell it to do.
This isn't much of an issue, but basically I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if the Smart Guides, just take priority. It's bit annoying turning smart guides on and off constantly to accomodate this odd behavior. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hi,
I'm on a Mac Snow Leopard/CS5, and there actually is an update I haven't installed yet. I'm on 7.0.3, so I'll try that out.
If it is a bug it's certainly not the end of the world, but I was curious if anyone else had been dealing with it as well. I love the Smart Guides, except for that.

Resizing grouped objects keynote

In keynote I would like to be able to resize grouped objects without maintaining proportionality - is this possible?
The "Constrain Proportions" button is greyed out for grouped objects for me.
I'm using version 6.2

Why can't I resize grouped objects in the new Keynote without constraining proportions
The only people who can give an informed answer are the Apple engineers, however they don't post in the user to user community.
Keynote 5.3 certainly could do this, but the latest version of Keynote is a completely separate application with different tools and features and file format.
You can let Apple know of your concern by using: Apple Feedback

Resizing drawing objects defies pixel snapping

This happens mostly with drawing objects, and to a lesser degree with shapes. When resizing drawing objects in Flash CS6 with pixel snapping turned on, one would expect the dimensions of the shape to snap to even pixel numbers. For the most part it does, but too frequently the position and size values begin to drift into fractions of pixels.
If you create a rectangle as a drawing object, no stroke, it will snap to pixels properly. Drag it around and it always lands on whole pixel values. Now try resizing it using the free transform tool, or even by clicking and dragging the position and size values in the properties panel. Width and height values will mostly stick to whole pixels, but too often it will slip into fractions of pixels, bizarrely offsetting the x and y values as well. If you resize a drawing object and this error occurs, it does not help to try and move it to snap it back onto whole pixels, because it will snap to whatever fraction of a pixel it's currently stuck in, thereby forcing the user to manually edit the object's x and y coordinates.
This is a problem in my workflow as I'm constantly having to keep an eye on the properties panel and manually editing the numbers when shapes stray into 2.85 pixels or some such when I want it at 3. I find myself frequently just entering the numbers I want, which defeats the purpose of pixel snapping in the first place.

Problem deploying certain mappings using OMBPlus

We've got a problem deploying certain mapings using OMBPLus. This applies to all mappings that use a function to lookup the effective date of a SCD (type 2) from a lookup table. We use that function in the dimension operator properties as the "Default Effective Time of Open Record". Though the validation of those mappings fails they can nevertheless be deployed using the Control Center Manager. And, best of all, they work fine.
Now we have to deploy those mappings using OMBPlus because we're not allowed to work with tools on the preproduction and production systems. Deploying those mappings with OMBPlus doesn't seem to work. It works fine for all other mappings but not for those mentioned above. Has anybody a solution?
Regards,
Jörg

Hi Dave,
this is the error message I get whe I run my OMBPLus script:
OMB05602: An unknown Deployment error has occured for Object Type PUB03205 : Validation Error: MAP_DIM_FAHRZEUGKLASSE : VLD-5010: The Default Effective Date of open records for dimension DIM_FAHRZEUGKLASSE should be an expression of type DATE. Value "FCT_GET_AKT_LL_vmon()" is not a valid date: PLS-00201: identifier 'FCT_GET_AKT_LL_VMON' must be declared
I'm not quite sure about what you mean with creating a stub function. As you can see from the error message above I use a function called FCT_GET_AKT_LL_vmon that returns the actual date od the load from a lookup table. This function is of course present in the target schema.

Jörg

Illustrator thinks I want to resize an object...

Hi, so this is an issue that really annoys me and I'm not sure if there's a solution for it and/or if someone has complained about it.
Basically, if I make a small shape, something about 50x80px and I try to grab the shape to move it to a different location, illustrator just assumes that I want to resize the object and acts as if I grabbed the corner points. I specifically try to click away form the resizing points and it still does it. Its really annoying because the only way I can grab the object is by zooming in and making sure the cursor is now a lot smaller than the shape to move the object. The problem with doing this is that by zooming it forces me to scroll with the object to the place I want to be.
When this happens, my cursor doesn't change to the 'resizing' cursor... the one with the 2 small arrows pointing opposite directions. It stays as the regular cursor.
I am using the Illustrator CC updated to the latest as of this date.

Vhalor,
I believe it is safest to hold Alt/Option when you use the Direct Selection Tool, to avoid the danger of dragging only some Anchor Points.
I wonder whether it is time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

[CS2] [JS] Resize anchored object...

Good morning:
I need help figuring out how to resize different objects that are anchored in text. They do have a script label on them.
For example I have an inline text box with the script label "gadget" that needs to be resized from 1 inch to 2 inches.
Is there away to do this by way of a script?
Thanks in advance!
Theresa

Hi Teresa,
This is a very basic example: it adds 1 inch to the width and height of the inline text frame with "gadget" label (I assume that it may occur only once in each story and measurements are set to inches). I wrote this on CS3 — don't have CS2 any more.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myStories = myDoc.stories;
for (i = 0; i < myStories.length; i++) {
    var myTextFrame = myStories[i].textFrames.item("gadget");
        if (myTextFrame != null) {
        var myGb = myTextFrame.geometricBounds;
        var myNewGb = [myGb[0], myGb[1], myGb[2]+1, myGb[3]+1];
        myTextFrame.geometricBounds = myNewGb;

Memory leak problem while passing Object to stored procedure from C++ code

Hi,
I am facing memory leak problem while passing object to oracle stored procedure from C++ code.Here I am writing brief description of the code :
1) created objects in oracle with the help of "create or replace type as objects"
2) generated C++ classes corresponding to oracle objects with the help of OTT utility.
3) Instantiating classes in C++ code and assigning values.
4) calling oracle stored procedure and setting object in statement with the help of setObject function.
5) deleted objects.
this is all I am doing ,and getting memory leak , if you need the sample code then please write your e-mail id , so that I can attach files in reply.
TIA
Jagendra

just to correct my previous reply , adding delete statement
Hi,
I am using oracle 10.2.0.1 and compiling the code with Sun Studio 11, following is the brief dicription of my code :
1) create oracle object :
create or replace type TEST_OBJECT as object
( field1 number(10),
field2 number(10),
field3 number(10) )
2) create table :
create table TEST_TABLE (
f1 number(10),f2 number (10),f3 number (10))
3) create procedure :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testProc
data IN test_object)
IS
BEGIN
insert into TEST_TABLE( f1,f2,f3) values ( data.field1,data.field2,data.field3);
commit;
end;
4) generate C++ classes along with map file for database object TEST_OBJECT by using Oracle OTT Utility
5) C++ code :
// include OTT generate files here and other required header files
int main()
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int z =0;
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* const pConn =
env->createConnection"stmprf","stmprf","spwtrgt3nms");
const string sqlStmt("BEGIN testProc(:1) END;");
Statement * pStmt = pConn->createStatement(sqlStmt);
while(1)
TEST_OBJECT* pObj = new TEST_OBJECT();
pObj->field1 = x++;
pObj->field2 = y++;
pObj->field3 = z++;
pStmt->setObject(1,pObj);
pStmt->executeUpdate();
pConn->commit();
delete pObj;
}

Certain objects are transparent in flash movie

I've been getting reports from users that certain objects are invisible in my flash banner. The browser culprit is IE 8 (but someone also reported seeing this in IE 6). I have been unable to duplicate this and therefore, find it very difficult to troubleshoot. I do have the Wmode set to transparent, but I've made it opaque and still had the "invisible" reports. Here is the site:
http://tekkytoys.com
The objects reported as invisible are the robot's body and head. If someone out there can see this and give me a clue, it would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Mark

First guess here is that some elements may require a certain version of the player, and they don't have it!

Resizing 3d objects

Hello! I'm new at java3d and i'm researching for my university project. I have the following question: how can i resize a object imported from a .obj file? There is any way to do that? Suppose i've a .obj that i want to load to my project but i need to resize it to be with the same width but a different weight.
I've the code above:
Transform3D objLocation = new Transform3D();
objLocation.set(p.scale, new Vector3d(p.posx, p.posy, p.posz));
//returns a scene with the object i want
Scene s = ObjLoad();
TransformGroup newScene = new TransformGroup();
newScene.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_TRANSFORM_WRITE);
newScene.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_TRANSFORM_READ);
newScene.setTransform(objLocation);
newScene.addChild(s.getSceneGroup());
objSpin.addChild(newScene);
The solution i figured out makes possible to place the object where i want and scale it, but it doesn't work because i want to redimensionate the object and not to scale it...
I would appreciate any help!
tks in advance
ps: sorry about the poor english, hope you understand it
Bruno

Java3D uses a 4x4 matrix for these operations. Scale and rotate happen in the upper-left 3x3 matrix.
This matrix doesn't affect translation at all.
I think the 3x3 matrix that do what you want is the following :
xscale 0 0
0 yscale 0
0 0 zscale
so you just have to create your TransformGroup using this Transform3D.
Matrix3d scalematrix = new Matrix3d(xscale, 0, 0, 0, yscale, 0, 0, 0, zscale);
Vector3d translationvector = new Vector3d(xtranslation, ytranslation, ztranslation);
Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D(scalematrix, translationvector, 0d);hope this will help !

Not able to resize my objects in Nested iview

Dear all,
This is how I created my dashboard.
Model -> iview -> Layers(tabs) -> Each layer has various forms, queries and charts.
Now I have changed it to
Model -> iview -> Layers(tabs) -> Nested iview-> Each Nested iview has various forms, queries and charts.
Can you suggest the best approach in terms of flixibility and performance.
When I introduced a Nested Iview I amd not able to resize my objects ( table, chart, forms etc). I am not sure why. When I go into nested iview and go to Layout tab I see a blank page and can see nothing.
Could anyone help me please.
Also I would appreciate if anyone can suggest me the best practice for creating a dashboard.
Thanks,
KK

Hi,
Yes you are correct.
to make good Layout for Nestedview contents drilldown to the Nestedview and then go to its layout there you can make the Chages to layout.
