Quick tip help. How to add to vector layers using shape tool

This is something that's bugged me for a few versions and I'm sure someone has a tip for this.
When I use Shape Layer tool, I get a solid color with a vector mask. The tool always makes a new layer every time I use the tool. So to get around that, I draw my shapes (one per layer) and then use the Path Selection Tool and cut and paste between Shape Layer layers.
How can I draw another shape on a currently selected Vector Mask? (I want to build compound Pathfinder-like shapes)

Yes, press the shift key to add to the current shape layer (vector mask).

  • Help:  How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu

    Hi,
    In this post: Help: How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu, it described how to create an menu that will hide the default window menu.
    I'd like to know if there a way to put this component into library so that others can directly inherit this menu in other FORMS and how to implement it.
    Jimmy

    Hi,
    I found the solution and the post was not properly phrased. There is no need to add menu into library. All we need is to put the compiled menu into Oracle AS and add the menu name the menu module of the given form.
    Thanks.

  • How to add rows in tableview using javascipt

    Hi
    I had tableview and button in my page.If i click on the button one new row should be appended to the existing tableview.
    so , how to add rows in tableview using javascipt which are editable?
    Regards,
    Pydi.

    Hi,
      Javascript is client scripting language, which is mainly used for validations at the client side.
      To add new row using a HTMLB tag ucannot use javascript. Instead pass "visibleRowCount" variable to a abap variable and add the variable on every button click.. that wil increase the visible row count.
    Also the size of the table view is the size of the itnernal table, so append a blank like to the internal table or insert it at the top.
    If you are not using HTMLB tags and using simple HTML tags u can always add a row using java script.
    Regards
    Imran.

  • Help - How To Add Email Account To ITunes

    I’ve added a Gmail account to my iPhone (original model using iTunes 7.7 & OS 2.0) and Entourage and Mail applications. It works fine in both applications and the iPhone.
    My problem is that it does not appear in the list of my older mail accounts in iTunes when I sync my iPhone. It appears that iTunes does not recognize the newly added Gmail account even though it is fully functional.
    Does anyone know how to add an email account to iTunes so that its settings will be synced?

    I am having the same problem. Two mail accounts on the computer but none show up in itunes. They did the first time I synced the phone and now they are gone, unfortunately the first time i synced I didn't sync the mail accounts and on the second sync I was going to set up the mail accounts but they've vanished. Very strange. I've searched and have seen another post on this problem, but no solution.

  • How to make a vector into a shaper of transparency on a layer rather than shape of layer?

    I'm working on a drawing that somehow I've created a layer on -- all blue, that has what looks like a vector mask
    over it, but the vector mask, instead of shaping the layer, creates a transparancy in the layer.
    And I don't know how to reproduce this effect!
    Every time I create a vector mask, it shapes the layer.
    If I take that vector looking mask on that layer, and try to copy it to another layer -- it shapes the layer!
    If I copy it back to the original layer -- it shapes the original layer...
    So there's something about the vector mask that says the shape of the layer is everything on the 'outside' of the vector.
    How in the heck!?  The 'invert' button is not available when you go into 'masks' and look at the vector masks.
    So how might I recreate this type of transparency mask?  It's driving me crazy, cuz there it is -- just like I want it, but I can't
    reproduce it!  I've tried dup'ing the blend settings on the layer-- but they don't seem to have an effect.
    Ideas?

    Thanks!
    I  looked through the reference docs and couldn't find anything on how to  do this.  Is it in the reference docs anywhere, do you know? Or is just  another one of those things that people learn, but Adobe doesn't  document.
    I can see if someone has 'grown up  w/photoshop' and realizes what tools are "orthogonal" to other tools of  those, which can have their settings altered to do something meaninful  with the primary tool, it could be a powerful tool (and is touted as  being so), but if you don't know the interconnects, it doesn't seem like  they are well documented in the reference manual.
    I   wonder if Adobe might consider having someone like Grinder and Bandler**  write a manual to bring people 'into' the photoshop world -- to
    give  people an awareness of which tools were orthogonal and retrain  someone's mind to think in terms of building up an effect by combining  different aspects of orthogonal tools.   I wonder if it would even be  possible to write such a book...(just some late sunday musings).

  • How to add warning message while using 'print' function in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    I am trying to make pdf document for my company which requires adding a warning message while anyone use 'print' function from the page...
    Does anyone know how to add warning message on LiveCycle Designer
    Also my supervisor mentioned something using 'nag' if that rings any bell

    No you shoudl never go into the XML source unless uinstricted to do so.
    You can open the script editor (under the window menu). It will appear above the drawing area but below the toolbars. You can resize it if there is not enough room. When you click on an object in the form you can choose an event to script against in the Show dropdown. In your case you will want to choose the prePrint event. A line will show up that indicates the object that is associated with the script as well as the event and other information. Add your script below this line. Once that is done you are finished and your form is ready for testing.
