Re: My Line Tool is grouping

It is called Object Drawing Mode and can be turned off easily
by clicking the ODM sub-selection
button when the line tool is selected.

Hi,
one of my padawan designers figured this one out. I had
mistakenly switched to object mode in the tools panel. This is the
little square with a gradiated circle in it at the very bottom of
the tools panel.
Problem solved.

Where is the line tool in Elements 12? I used this a lot in Elements 7.

I cannot find the line tool in Elements 12. I cannot draw lines with arrows at all. Does anyone know what happened?

Are you using Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
If you are talking about Premiere Elements 12/12.1, there is a line tool in the Shape section of the program's Titler. No arrows however unless
you try to draw them in with additional maneuvers of the line tool there.
If you are referring to the line tool in Photoshop Elements 12. The line tool is in with a group of tools.
In the screenshot, look to where I have the red arrow pointing in the toolbox. If it is not displaying there as the line tool, then click on it, which brings up the Options Bar for that tools group. Then select line tool in that Options Bar. The line tool options will be displayed in the Option Bar.
In the above screenshot, the custom shape tool was showing originally in the toolbox, with its options in the Options Bar. And, I next clicked on the line tool in the Options
Bar to use change the choice to use it and its options..
Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

Please let us know if the above worked for you.

Changing Line Thickness on Grouped Objects?

So I'm changing my style of animation from hand-drawn art to the usage of things such as the line and pen tool, in Adobe Flash CS3. I am drawing characters that have segmented parts, I.E. the arms, legs, head. body, ect are all separate grouped objects with a set line thickness. The problem is that when I try to shrink or grow the character, the lines making up their body is either too thick or too thin, depending on whether I make him bigger or smaller. It seems that I am unable to change the line thickness of grouped objects, or dare I say it, a group of grouped objects. The properties panel greys out when I select an object, so I have no access to it at all. I dont want to have to go and change the line thickness individually on each object, whose lines are all the same thickness to begin with.
Is there any trick or plugin I can use to change this, so the line thickness of grouped objects can be changed? Or am I just ignorant with the answer just staring me in the face? Either way, I would REALLY appreciate the help any of you could provide!

Okay, so I seem to have found an even better solution to my problem than what I was hoping for. I can just convert the lines into fill by going to Modify > Shapes > Convert Lines to Fill. This makes it so the lines will now change in relative size depending on how much I shrink or grow an object.
Thanks for trying everyone, but I found my solution!

Line Tool in Adobe Acrobat 9.0

The line tool is permitting only horizontal and vertical rules, and it attempts to join these as 90-degree angles. Is there a way to adjust this so that I can make diagonal rules?

I can draw lines at any angle with the line tool. Just keep your finger off the shift key.

GUI Applications unable to use command line tools

Hi All-
I've searched, but I can't find a thread about this one, so...
On OS 10.4.5:
Whenever I use a GUI app that wants to use a command line tool (e.g. curl, df, java), the app fails giving an error message to the effect of "unable to find curl" or the like. It is as if the GUI cannot find my unix $PATH.
Examples:
-- Eclipse refuses to launch, because it appears to use "java xxxxxxx" to launch.
-- Automator fails to run certain Safari actions because they use curl to navigate web pages.
-- Carbon Copy Cloner fails to launch, because it can't find a tool (df, IIRC) to read drive/volume info
Possibly relevant details:
-- I can use the tool in question from the command line, so they are present, and in my $PATH, but the GUI can't find them.
-- I recently moved from an old G4 to a relatively new G5, and had issues migrating files, so I eventually just copied my entire home directory from the old machine to the new, replacing the freshly created one on the new machine. I feel like that missed something that tells the GUI where your $PATH is, or some other link between GUI and command line.
-- I created a new user, and that user does not experience the same troubles. This adds to my suspicion that it is account/PATH related.
Any help anyone can give it greatly appreciated.

PM G5 dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Did you by any chance create an evironment.plist file? It is located in ~/.MacOSX/ If you don't know about it or don't know to look (.MacOSX is normally invisible), try this:
In Finder.app, in the "Go" menu select "Go to Folder..." (shift-command-G), type ~/MacOSX in the text field and hit OK, the finder should then open a window or complain.
If it opens a window and you find in it a file named environment.plist move that file to the desktop and try your applications. Do they work as advertized? Try again after logging in/out if things don't work. Do they work now?
Whatever hapens, tell us more...

Running a command in a command line tool in fastest way

Before anything I want to clarify some terms :
apk
file (android application package file) : equivalent to executable (exe) files on windows
aapt.exe
: A command line tool which comes with android sdk in order to fetch information of an apk file (It obviously has other usages)
note : This question is not about an android feature. It's all about C# and functionality of .Net framework
An
apk file has a name just same as any other file, but it has a internal name (which will be shown when you install apk file on android os as name of application)
with
aapt.exe I can get internal name of an apk using following command :
aapt
d badging "<apk path>"
I
have copied aapt.exe where executable file of my c# application is and I want :
Enter
above command for each apk in selected directory (using GetAllFiles method)
I want to get internal names of apk files and
I've tried a lot of ways and I've searched a lot. finally this is what I've got :
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
proc.Start();
using (StreamWriter sw = proc.StandardInput)
foreach (string path in Directories.GetAllFiles(@"E:\apk", "apk"))
sw.WriteLine("aapt d badging " + "\"" + path + "\"");
//following line doesn't work because sStandardInput is open
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
// There will be a really huge amount of text (at least 20 line per sw.Writeline) and
//it impacts performance so following line is not really what I'm looking for
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
GetAllFiles is
a function that I've created to fetch all apk file full path. It gets two argument. First argument is path and second one is extension of file you want its full path to be fetched.
This is not final code.
As I've commented it out first Debug.WriteLine doesn't
work and second one is not a good idea. how should I get output from proc?
I have tried running process by argument and its awful :)
As another approach :
Because apk files are basically zip files I can extract them get what I want from them.
There is an xml file named Androidmanifest.xml in every apk file.
Androidmanifest.xml is like an ID card for an apk file and apk internal name can be found in it but here are some problems with this approach :
1. Androidmanifest.xml is not a plain text file. It's coded and it requires a lot of complexity to decode it
2. application name (or apk internal name) is an attribute in this file and it's value is not a string value. It's a reference to a file where strings are stored and worst thing is it's not an easy to find out reference. It's just a number

And you don't get any output from it? Maybe you're passing the arguments incorrectly?
No. I don't get any result and I have checked arguments and it's correct.
But you are already running a separate process for every apk file. You start a single cmd.exe and then send it commands that will cause aapt to be run for every file. Unless aapt accepts multiple apk filenames on the command line there's no way
around using separate processes.
I didn't know that. anyway speed in this way is much more rather than creating a function. creating a Process object in it and calling function for each apk file.
I read somewhere that it's possible to run multiple commands in cmd by & operator but as you said I think every command runs aapt. I have tested this approach too and it's very very slow
fastest approach I have found is what I have wrote here and speed is about 0.6 per apk file which is still slow when there is thousands of apk files.
I tried an application that does same thing (fetching apk information) and in it's installation directory I found aapt.exe which means it uses this tool to get information but speed is significantly faster rather than my application.
So what's your suggestion about this?

[Forum FAQ] How do I add an average line to series group on SQL Server Reporting Services column chart?

Introduction
In SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS), you may need an average value on column chart.
For the above chart, add an average score line to the chart, you can get which student’s score is larger than average score, and which student’s score is less than average score clearly. This document demonstrates how to add an average line to series groups
on SSRS column chart.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, you can add another values to the chart, change the chart type to line chart. Set the value to average value of the series group and set the line to show only once by using expression. Please refer to the link below to see the
detail steps.
Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.
Add Score field to the Values area.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Change Chart Type. And then change chart type to line chart in the Select Chart Type window.
Change the Category Group name to Subject. Here are the screenshot for you reference.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Series Properties.
Click the expression button on the right of Value field textbox, type the expression below:
=Avg(Fields!Score.Value,"Subject"))
Click Visibility in the left pane, select “Show or hide based on an expression”, and type in the expression below:
=IIF(Fields!Name.Value="Rancy",FALSE,TRUE)
Name in the expression is one of the Students. Then only one line chart is be displayed by using this expression.
Click Legend in the left pane, type Average_Score to the Custom legend text box.
The report looks like below:

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?

HI,
We are trying to export webi objects to a biar file using the biar command line tool, biarengine.jar in XI 3.0. We are using the query select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind='webi'.
We are getting an error "unable to create plugin object".
Export of all other objects is going through fine.
Any ideas?

Command Line Tools installs the latest version of clang (and others) in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/... but not in /usr/bin/

I've upgraded Xcode to the latest 5.1 Installed Command Line Tools via xcode-select --install Homebrew tells me "A newer Command Line Tools release is available"
brew --config:
Xcode: 5.1 CLT: 5.1.0.0.1.1393561416 LLVM-GCC: build 2336 Clang: 3.1 build 318
Checking my clang executable:
$ /usr/bin/clang --version Apple clang version 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.58) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
$ /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang --version Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.38) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
So it appears Command Line Tools didn't install clang (and perhaps other executables) into /usr/bin? I checked my other laptop (w/ Mavericks), and /usr/bin/clang is version 5.1.
So I'm guessing this is the problem? I've tried to reinstall Command Line Tools as sudo, but now it won't let me install again (says software isn't currently available).
Can anyone help me with this? I've spent hours on it now, but can't find a solution.
Thanks

BTW, I installed Xcode 5.1 from the Store, but have never run xcode-select --install. Here is the verbose output from a clang.

HI
Pricing will be carried basing on the pricing
procedure.
Case1: Prices will be carried out automatically if
necessary condition records are maintained for the
condition type.
For this you can go to Sales Order-> Item Conditions
In the screen you can click on command button Analysis,
which gives you the list of condition types associated
to the pricing procedure. By clicking on the condition
type you can know the action that has taken place.
Case2: Manually forcing prices for Items.
To do this, you have to populate ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN &
ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX. Also note to identify the item
numbers, you manually pass the item number for each item
in the sales order, use the same item number for
populating conditions.
Parameters required:
ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN:
ITM_NUMBER, COND_TYPE, COND_VALUE, CURRENCY
ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX:
ITM_NUMBER, COND_TYPE, UPDATEFLAG, COND_VALUE,CURRENCY.
Hope the above info helps you. Do revert back if you
need more info.

Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
-line color: yellow
-line thickness: 8pt
-opacity: 60%
and fot the arrow tool as this:
-line color: red
-line thickness: 1pt
-opacity: 100%
This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
-line color: yellow
-opacity: 60%
only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
Is there a way to get around this?

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

Line Tool Question

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm using freehand for my job and today when I select the line tool
to draw a line across a box, a small circle is appearing in the cross hatch.
Does anyone know what this is and how to stop it? It's never done it before.
Below is a picture to show what I mean.
thanks, Allison

Hi Allison,
If you have any of the snap-to functions enabled (snap to guide, object or grid) then FH draws a small circle when the cursor hovers over a snap target. I shows you the exact location where the snap will occur. I don’t see it before starting to drag a line, though.
You should see it on other tool cursors as well, such as pen, rectangle, ellipse, etc.
Do you have any snap-to functions enabled?

"add_mp_to_mpa" is not recognized by OEM 12C Command line tool

Hi,
As per Oracle® Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface 12c Release 1 (12.1) document ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/em.121/e17786/cli.htm ), after the EM CLI Client is installed basic operational verbs like 'add_mp_to_mpa " can be used to create managenment plug-in archive. But when i am using this command with OEM 12C EM CLI command line tool it throws following error
+Error: The command name "add_mp_to_mpa" is not a recognized command.+
+Run the "help" command for a list of recognized commands.+
+You may also need to run the "sync" command to synchronize with the current OMS+.
I also used sync command to sync with my OMS server. The sync command ran successfully with output "Synchronized successfully" .
When i use help command("emcli help") to see the list of command it supports, it doesn't list this ('add_mp_to_mpa ') verb.
Please tell me how can i use this particular verb to create my own management plug-in archive(.jar file) in 12 C.

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used in vCSHB installation?

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used during the installation of vCSHB? Is it required in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? Is it used to create the files that are put in the file share for the second node to use during vCSHB installation or is it only used during a vCSHB clone operation of a Physical to Physical deployment? Are these tools not used in some deployments?

You need Windows Server Backup installed on source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will invoke the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will backup configuration and application data (application data is optimal but can decrease the sync time after installation of secondary node). On the secondary node you will need only run the vCSHB installer and everything will be restored.
Check this blog entry for some more info about some problems in P2P deployment: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/
