Rotated Guide Line Issues

If I rotate a guide line within a CS5 Illustrator document and deselect from it...and then try to re-edit the guide, it is no longer accessible - cannot be transformed, of even deleted.
- I have not got the "lock guides" option on, so I am completely baffled.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm new to Illustrator.

Or what's behind door number two!
He may have accidentally hit the wrong keyboard short cut and locked the guide.
This sounds more probably as when hitting a combination of keys it is easy to make an error and in typing we oftn make the same error many times.
Then they hit the same combination and it unlocked the guides and they were now fine.

  • Guide lines to chosing a LCD monitor

    I am in need of a new monitor. My Trinitron CRT is giving out and would like to replace it with a LCD type and know that Adobe does not support LCD gamma adjustment. What are some of the guide lines to use for the selection of a new monitor? Does "contrast factor" have a bearing on the dynamic range (Dmax)? What about "color space" of the LCD? Is there some way of finding out from the manufacturer what the color temperature is? Or do I just buy a monitor and along with some test apparatus, do the measurements at home?
    If anyone has had experience with this I sure would like to get some pointers.

    Ken....
    I've just been through the process of choosing a new LCD screen to replace my dead one. The biggest problem I faced was that there was no way I could try out a monitor and send it back just because it wasn't up to my idea of good. So I had to rely on reading about some of the issues in various reviews etc. Trouble was that most folks had conflicting experiences and many reviews I came across mostly focused on the gaming market.
    Being an Engineer I resorted to looking at the various spec's with a hope to making a decision this way but this didn't help as many specs were a little limited in info. In the end I looked at the technology and some practical issues that surfaced.
    1. Many OEMs like Dell don't make their own LCD panels, which is the key ingredient. Instead they'll buy from where ever they can get the best deal. This means that the quality and type varies from batch to batch. The advice I came across said to look for a display that used an S-IPS (or AS-IPS Panel). These have better viewing angles than some other types. Their were reports of some Dells using these and others of the same type number using a PVA panel.
    2. Colour space isn't a concept the average LCD manufacturer worries about. If you want AdobeRGB then the choice is limited and more expensive. Most will approximate sRGB.
    3. Being able to change the colour temperature is important rather than having a preset value. If your going to invest in a colourimeter then I'd advise checking to see if you can independently adjust the R,G,B. Although to be fair this can often be done by the display driver.
    4. I'm not sure about Contrast Ratio v Dmax. This is tricky for LCD screens because there isn't any control for Contrast/Brightness - just the backlight control. On my display - NEC 20WGX2 - the Contrast Ratio I think was spec'd at 1000:1 but the screen was so bright I had to wear dark glasses until I'd set it up with my Eye-One. This resulted in a 15% contrast setting and a 25% Brightness setting. Backlights are subject to degradation and start to change after about 18months or sooner if you run them at full wack. So, I'm hoping that running it at lower settings will extend its life.
    5. In the end I went for the NEC 20WGX2. a) NEC make there own panels, b)NEC make Professional Displays for Photographers and Artists, c) it got a good review for what I could afford.
    There was some very useful information on the following web site along with some good information on the technology and choosing a display.
    6. If you are lucky enough to be able to try one with a Colourimeter then a good test is to see how much adjustment is required for the Colour Temperature. The more you have to tweak the RGB the harder the Profile has to work to render the colours which might introduce more errors. Displaying a Grayscale Gradient is another good test to check for banding. Do the same on a Colour Gradient as well.

  • IPhone 5 backlight, blue scan line issue fix

    [b]Found a fix for a double issue I was having, so thought I'd go ahead and post.  Reason being that it took fixing one before the other resolved.  I'd had an issue with the backlight on my iPhone 5 suddenly staying on after being used or even if a game notification came in or what not.  Then I had that blue scan line that flows back and forth across the phone suddenly come on as well.  Turning off/on the phone didn't help, nor did doing the off switch/home button reset thing.
    What worked is going into Settings>General>Accessibility>Physical and Motor (down at the bottom) and then turning off the Switch Control.
    I've had the blue scan line suddenly appearing issue before, and it seems the Switch Control comes on by itself because I've never gone in and turned it on.  But it was the first time I'd had the backlight issue paired with the scan line issue.
    Hope this helps some others out.[/b]
    -Lisa

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Would like to angle my guide lines

    Is it possible to angle your guide lines? I would like to set up three different guide lines, on an angle, with all have them at the same degree of angle. I have 6 photos that I'm dropping on a document and they are all angled (1 on the first line, 2 on the second line and 3 on the third line). I'm trying to figure out the best way to make sure the angles come out exactly the same and would like the guide lines to help.
    Thanks!

    ID does not have angled guides, more's the pity. I've been asking for years, and no, you can't convert a drawn path to a guide as you can in Illustrator, though you can still use them as guides -- put them on a new layer and lock the layer (and make it non-printing).
    To match rotation over a series of objects you can either note the angle in the rotation field and apply the same angle to all the objects, or rotate one, then select the rest and from the Object menu select Transform Again > Transform Again Individually and the rotation will be applied to each of the selected objects.

  • Sent my PB in for horizontal line issue repair.......but.........

    Just got back from the apple store and showed a genius my display and to my surprise he said he could see the issue at the upper half of the of the screen. I tried to show him the crankycat image but he said there was no need.
    I then told hime that the part needed to be used for replacement according to other sufferers is the 646-0324 DSPL, 15.2, WXGA++,SAMSUNG,Q16C part but he said apple don't use that part number here (i live in london). i then ask if the display will be replaced anyway....he says yes.
    When i get the repair sheet, i dont see anything mentioning display replacement, all i see is a "Flat Rate Repair Charge, PowerBook G4 15"-£170" and Labor Charge, PowerBook G4 15" - £100".
    These don't sound really promising. I then request that they test the replacement display with the crankycat image and he goes."everything will be tested properly before despatch dont worry"
    From what i gather the guy just wanted to rush and get things outta the way so he could go home.
    I really don't think this will get fixed, but lets hope apple proves me wrong this once.

    Update- line issue has been fixed

  • Change color of trim guide lines?

    Is it possible to change the color of the guide lines that indicate trim from black to something else? I often use black or very dark background colors and when I'm checking bleed and other things close to the trim line, the guide becomes almost impossible to see. I hope the answer is yes, but I can't see where to do it. In Preferences it seems possible to change the color of all the other guide lines, but not the trim lines.
    Any help much appreciated.
    thanks!

    I don't think there is a way to change it. But you could add a new layer with a Frame the size of your trim, give it any color stroke that you want, put it on top of all the other layers, lock it, and you'll have what you want.

  • MS Publisher 2013 - Guide lines on top of images

    I am trying to edit a brochure that has a background image and several text and images objects on top.   I am unable to see the guild lines once the background image is added.
    This problem has been around since Publisher 2007 (maybe has always been this way), however, most other design software will allow you to see the guide lines as you work.
    Are there any plans to add this feature to publisher?  
    I found a few articles on the subject and the designers are not happy and switching to other software.   So it may not be a bad idea to add what appears to be a simple improvement to retain and attract users.
    Thanks

  • Guide lines in Acrobat

    Dear People,
    How can i create in Adobe Acrobat Pro "Guide Lines" that will appear on each page visible.
    Cause if i create a guide line in Adobe Acrobat Pro, it's only on one page visible and its not possible to copy and paste it ons same place, so far as i know.
    There was one thing i notice, that the guide line have been created on the other pages, cause if i hover over the same position, where i placed the guide line on the other page, i can grap it and move it, but is still stays invisible. Its only visible on the page where i've created it.
    So, one more time to be clear: Is it possible to create a guide line in Adobe Acrobat Pro, that will appear visible (in a color) on each page of the document at the same position?
    Kind regards,
    W. Brown

    Perhaps this is a solution to your problem? Worked perfeclty for me! :-)
    I had to align those numbers by the ruler on 500+ pages.
    Now we could flag this problem as "solved"?

  • Web Dynpro for ABAP Naming Convension & Guide line

    Hi, everyone.
    I have a plan to implement Web Application as WDA(Web Dynpro for ABAP). but I don't know how can I give a name to Windows or Views or Custom controllers.
    If you have a naming convension or guid line document,
    Could you share the document with me? ^^

    As Rich said, there are no official naming conventions. Nonetheless, a few things have become quite popular, such as:
    - adding wnd_ in front of window names as they share the same namespace with views
    - adding m_ in front of member variables of controllers
    - adding s_ in front of supply methods and using the name of the node afterwards
    - adding lbl_ in front of labels and using the name of the labelled ui element afterwards like "lbl_customer" and "customer"
    Some developers also add certain prefixes to view elements to distinguish between them.
    Regarding the names of components, there is one thing that you should not do: Start them with WD_ or WDR_ as both are somehow preserved. The same is true for entities within a component, although there checks in place that prevent you from doing that.
    Best regards,
    Thomas
