Problem with Step and Repeat (transform)

Hi All.
I tried a search on this but came up with nothing, so if this has already been posted let me know.
In CS3 Illustrator: When I click on a horizontal line, and go to object/transform and key in a number such as -1p6, indicating that I want the line to repeat downward 1p6, the line instead repeats upward 1p6. I have tried using the ruler from point A to point B in a downward direction, but end up with horizontal rules that move upward.
What am I doing wrong? Or, is it the software? I had the same problem in AI 10, but not in previous versions of Illustrator.
I've been working with Illustrator almost as long as it's been around, so I'm pretty familiar with it. This is just an annoying problem that slows me down.
Thanks so much!

You're using the regular Move command, right? Object > Transform > Move (or Command - Shift - M, or hit the Enter key)? Then entering a negative number ( -1p6) in the Vertical field? And it moves the object up? Try trashing your prefs?

Step and Repeat Problem in CS3-Urgent!

I was working on a file, step and repeats was working just fine. Then suddenly within the same file it got messed up somehow.
Whenever I type in a decimal point (say 4.5) and I move on to the next field it will default to a higher number (say 5). It is not letting me do decimal points!
I did replace preferences (and yes I got the pop up on the start menu). And the problem is still there.
And it happens in all files, not just the one.
Please help, the MUST be working right or else I can't do my job!
CS3 5.0.4 Mac 10.5.8

Well, it wasn't. But I rebooted again (after replacing preferences) and so far it seems ok. Weird.
I'll post back up again if I have any problems.

Problems with Step & Repeat

I have having a problem when I step and repeat and the text in the textbox does not stay in the same place.
Below is how I step and repeat the bottom image.
Below here is what my result is. See how "What's Your" is now at the top of the black box? Anyone know a solution? It makes for really crabby press people when we have to re-print jobs.

Is there any objects in your layout near the offending type that might have a "text wrap" setting on them?
If you are making a habit of creating impositions within inDesign, it might be wise to place each page as a PDF, that way objects won't accidentally move. And since you are stepping and repeating a placed object, you also don't have to worry about any missing objects.

Error message before all values are entered in Step and Repeat box

The Step and Repeat function seems to have a problem that it didn't have before.
(1st field REPEAT COUNT, 2nd field HORIZONTAL OFFSET, 3rd field VERTICAL OFFSET). It is not permitted to duplicate beyond the limits of the document or pasteboard, I understand that. But, if a large value is already entered, let's say 3' in the 3rd field and you enter 12 in the first, you will get an error message BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE ALL THE FIELDS AND THEN SAY OK. The reason I bring this up is that it was not this way before Leopard (or before CS3) and I suspect that it is either the Mac OS or CS3 that is causing problems. I should be able to enter all the values in the 3 fields (whatever was previously entered the last time), say OK then get a message if the values go overboard. Not before I even finish entering them!
Is this a known issue, or is it just me?
Thanks

It's a known issue with CS3 - I believe it existed in Tiger too.

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
Recent programs includes:
1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
3) installing new itunes 10
4) new update to Flip For Mac.
The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?

Where you able to find the solution, i am having the same problem, all was fine till i install some programs only same one i saw did we both did was flip4mac i uninstalled it but the problem is still there, i also restored and erased the hardrive but im not up to doing that all over again. If you found anything out let me know i would greatly appreciate it

Problem with ECS and XSD

Hi B2B Gurus,
We are facing the problem with ECS and XSD files from past 2 weeks, Steps we followed
1. Created a ECS file in document editor version 11g: 6.6.0
2. ECS files consists only from ST and SE segments
Ex: ST
BCH
CUR
REF
PER -- Exclude
TAX -- Exclude
SE
3: Generated a XSD file from ECS file( File --> export---> Oracle B2B) in document ediotr
4. We imported a ECS and XSD file in B2B console( documents---docdef-transaction set ECS file) and XSD File
5. We tested one file from manually we face below error:
Error Code B2B-51507
Error Description Machine Info: (usmtnz-dinfap19.dev.emrsn.org) Description: Payload validation error.

and some times it shows Guideline load Error or simply Error
Please help us to resolve this

Anuj,
We are sending the EDI XML file from backend, then B2B will convert it into EDI file, How can we analyze EDI XML file with ECS file, B2B is not converting to EDI.
1. Can we use 10g ECS file and XSD file in 11G
2. I tried to import it, but it showing below error while doing testing

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Problem with Class and Classpath

Hello ME Windows Users, now before you place a wry smile on your face, I have a problem with path and classpath. Stop it, I can see you smiling!
By visiting the the last 10 pages of the forum and reading Sun installation notes, some tooldocs and by given some answers by some nice people, I have become an expert in turning off my computer, about 10 times/hr. I still am trying to make my first cup of java.
With the ME computer,
I'm unable to right click on the desktop and go to properties, advanced,
I'm unable to go go start, run, sysedit,
I'm unable to change the ms-dos window of autoexec.bat, it just shuts down.
Now before you tell me, I should of bought a different computer, the only place I can find to modify the path and classpath is in the environment which is in system configuration under tools. Here I have placed numerous configurations, like
C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin
C:\java>set classpath=%classpath%;.;
;java_dir\bin where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2
.; java_dir\bin; %path% where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2 and the list goes on.
But, I know you are still smiling, the % signs comes up in a dialog box, saying too many, and will not convert the text to the environment to be saved when I close down for the tenth time in the last hour.
Can someone help me before I make a real cup of coffee and accidentally drop it on the ME box.
Have a laugh on me Mik.

C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\binGood
But it is no good because it has to many % and a dialog box appears, saying you have too many parameters.
Are you saying I have to shutdown again to answer your ?
From the HELP menu-
To confirm startup commands line by line
Click Start, and then click Shut down.
Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the Windows Startup Menu appears.
Enter the number for Step-by-step confirmation, and then press ENTER.
For each command you want to run, press Y.
If the command runs successfully, you are prompted with the next command.
If the command does not run successfully, you receive an error message.

Tp ended with error code 0247 - addtobuffer has problems with data- and/or

Hello Experts,
If you give some idea, it will be greatly appreciated.
This transported issue started coming after power outage, sap system went hard shutdown.
Then we brought up the system. Before that , we do not have this transport issue.
our TMS landscape is
DEV QA-PRD
SED-SEQSEP
DEV is having the TMS domain controller.
FYI:
*At OS level, when we do scp command using root user, it is fine for any TR.
In STMS, while adding TR in SEQ(QA system), we are getting error like this.
Error:

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

See Roddy's posts in these topics:

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?
I am trying this. Take an object, move it some inches on the right while holding the option key, so I duplicate it.
Usually, I pressed on command+d to duplicate this action on and on (duplicate the object and moving it some inches away), but now it is not working.
any idea?

kwakoo,
It may be 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. 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), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
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.

Step and repeat multi page pdf

so im still failry new to indesign.
im running cs5.5 and im trying to imposition a multi page pdf
it is a 110 page pdf and what i would like to do is place it( for example) 8up step and repeat
what i would like is 110 sra3 sheets with each sheet having 8 copies of 1 page per sheet (sheet size fits fine)
is there a way to automate this im to poor for quite atm and i cant manage to get it to work using rhimposition.
i could use the pace multi page and then go through step and repeat on each page but but but 110 pages

Another possibility is to run Scott Zanelli's script eight times, changing the position each time. You'll find the script at InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files

Are there any plans to move the "Math Check" to AFTER the O.K. BUTTON is pushed on STEP AND REPEAT?

One of my pet peeves is that I have to clear all the fields in the STEP AND REPEAT dialouge box before I can begin entering information. I have been patiently waiting for this bug to be fixed. I am beginning to wonder if Adobe is even aware of the bug? It drives me nuts to no end!!! I am sure it is responsible for several points in my blood pressure reading on given days. I'll have an object selected that I need to step 7 times and I'll bring up the Step and Repeat dialouge box. I'll enter 7 in the COUNT field. InDesign will in some cases immediately flag the operation as not possible because there are numbers in the other two fields that I haven't had a chance to edit yet that will cause the step and repeat operation to go off the pasteboard. It makes me MAD because it changes my 7 back to a 1 and I have to go and put in the correct values for the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL offset fields and then I have to go back up to the COUNT field and re-enter my 7. All of this and I haven't even hit the O.K. button yet!!! Can someone at Adobe pleeeeeeaaaaaase inform the programmers of this glitch and have them move the MATH CHECK to AFTER THE O.K. BUTTON is clicked! I wouldn't mind the message if the figures I entered were incorrect and I had hit the O.K. button. But it drives me absolutely insane when it starts trying to correct me before I've even finished entering my values!
Am I the only one?
I would love to hear from anyone else out there that gets frustrated from this. If for no other reason then to let me know I haven't completely lost my sanity yet.
Thanks.
Randy

O.K. Peter. I did go and file a report. I couldn't bring myself though to call it a feature request because I clearly believe it is a bug. A co-worker of mine and I had a long discussion about it. He argued your side of things suggesting that the program was working as the programmers intended for it to be and because of that I couldn't call it a bug. But, I contend that the program IS NOT working as the programmers intended for it to be because if you look at the OBJECT > TRANSFORM > MOVE item in InDesign it also brings up a dialogue box. This dialogue box also has a PREVIEW check box on it. If the PREVIEW check box is checked then it immediately evaluates the numbers as you enter them into the various fields. And if you enter an invalid number it will immediately present the error message. However, if the PREVIEW check box is left unchecked then it waits until you press the O.K. Button before evaluating the numbers and executing the move. The STEP AND REPEAT dialogue box should behave the same way but it doesn't. It behaves as if the PREVIEW check box is checked whether it is or not. So that is a BUG in my humble opinion.
Thanks for your help in pointing me to the correct form. I'm usually so busy working that I never have time to look that kind of stuff up.
Randy

InDesign CC Step and repeat user friendliness

With the Step and Repeat function in InDesign:
Currently when you enter a value in any of the three boxes (count/vertical/horizontal) and the value results in the objects not fitting on the page, you'll receive immediate feedback in the form of a pop up error box:
Cannot add objects beyond the bounds of the pasteboard. Please decrease the offset distance or reduce the number of duplicates.
You then have to click OK, or press enter to acknowledge.
It would be a lot more desirable for any error message to display only at the end of the process—AFTER you've click the Step and Repeat OK button.
It's extremely irritating to get regular warnings while you're trying to typing in the values, especially when you use step and repeat a lot.
Reguarly, I can even type in the first value Count without receiving an error (noting that the dialog box remembers Vertical and Horizontal values from previous use).

Thanks Peter. Yeah I never have the preview selected anyway.
Occassionally I still have to use Quark 8. The Step and Repeat doesn't have this annoyance.
Given Adobe's normally exemplary usability standards this one seems like a no-brainer to me.
