Rotating shapes created in Director

Hello everyone:
I am creating square using the rectangle shape tool in
director...is there a way to rotate and change the anchor point for
the shape? The same way I can do with the images I import.
Rafael.

You can change the regPoint of a number of things (text,
flash, vectorShapes, movies are some off the top of my head), but
not the QuickDraw shapes.
If you use Flash you can set the regPoint via lingo (or in
the property inspector window). You can also do this with vector
shapes in Director. You can also set the rotation of the sprite via
lingo or in PI.
Pixelation...never good :)

How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable

How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable, not just text on top of them? I used the Acrobat XL Pro technique described here (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html), to export a graphic I had created in Illustrator and saved as an Adobe PDF file, but shapes are not editable and are fuzzy too. Is there a way to export a complete Illustrator graphic to PowerPoint?

Thanks Bill. Of course I realize I can insert an Illustrator drawing into a PPT without making it a PDF first. What I’m trying to do is insert a drawing from Illustrator that is still editable in PPT (a client request). Using the Acrobat XL Pro capability shown in this video <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html> , only the text is editable in PPT, not shapes created in Illustrator.

Bash script question, how do I create multiple directories on one line

I am making a package for amavisd-new (yes I am aware that there is one in community but I can't say I like the way it is done).
I have an install script from which I want to create multiple directories if they do not exist.
So I want to create a directory /var/spool/amavis with subdirectories of var tmp virusmails spammassassin .
I can't seem to be able to find a way to do this on one line.

Good one!
Also, it's by far the more dynamic method.
If you want to get pedantic, it's also far less efficient in terms of execution time: each iteration of the loop forks a new process, whereas using a single mkdir command forks only once. The "best" way is the curly-braces method demonstrated above by chimeric.

No longer able to create home directories

I'm having a slight problem here. Recently after adding some new users, with PHD activated I have been having problems creating home directories on the server.
If i am in local node I can create home directories, but once i switch over to LDAP/myserver home directories are no longer created ---> this leads to me no longer being able to sync homes or do anything.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I've deleted the users directory, created new ones, turned the ldap service off, restarted, turned it back on, restarted, added new users tested tested tested to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

My Woes continue :
So far I have reinstalled OSX server, re-set everything up for an OD master, dns ,afp ect. And I am still having issues with WGM to create home directories for my users. SO, i decided to create all my users and than type in terminal : createhomedir -s --> the end result no changes.
Next I tried
Createhomedir -b and voila I get all my home directories built. Fantastic. Or so I think. so i start to log all my PHD users in, everything seems good. Than i start a test, simply downloading a file to my desktop. I hit sync now. The sync window comes up, few conflicts but other than that everything looks great. I goto the users home directory on the server and no changes.
So where are my PHD's syncing to?
This is getting very frustrating because I am pretty sure nothing is being backed up anymore.
any advice would be great.

How to create logical directories with same name on two databases

Hi,
OS: Windows
Oracle Version : 10g
I have to databases in one oracle home. I have created some logical directories in one database. When I am trying to create logical directories with same name in another database, it is overwriting the first database directory paths with the second one
Can't we create directories with same name but different path in two databases on one machine?
Pls suggest me on this
Regards,
Vijay

I am trying to create logical directory using CREATE
DIRECTORY statement. I am very much aware that the
create directory statement doesn't create directory
on OS. But we can attach the physical directory on OS
to logical directory in oracle
My requirement is to create logical directories in
oracle mapping the OS directories. Both the
databases, wil have same logical directory names but
different OS directory mappingsIf I understand you correctly, you can do this:
On DB 1
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY same_dir_name as 'C:\myoracle\mydir1';
On DB 2
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY same_dir_name as 'D:\myoracle\mydir2';
What stops you from doing that ?
Note: If what you have is one database but different connections, then you are connecting to one database. The above second statement will drop and replace with the first one

Is there a DIAdem Script command that can automatically create folders/directories in Windows?

Hi there!
I need to automatically create folders/directories in the Windows file system? Is there a DIAdem Script command to do this (like the way you do it in DOS/Unix or even Matlab (mkdir command)? Thanks!

Hi,
there are two ways to create folders within a DIAdem script:
Call FolderCreate("d:\New Folder")
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Call fso.CreateFolder("d:\New Folder 2")

Workgroup Manager won't create home directories; no error message

This is quite frustrating. For the past 3 years or so I have used the same procedure to add new users to my LDAP directory:
1) In Workgroup Manager, click the New User button
2) Assign name and password under the basic tab
3) Assign group memberships under the Groups tab
4) Under the Home tab, select the right place (nfs://my.server.org/Volumes/Users), click Create Home Now
5) Click Save
Suddenly, when I try to do this yesterday, workgroup manager won't create home directories anymore. I could probably do it manually, but I'm not sure how to get all the right skeleton setup in there. But my main question is, why doesn't this work anymore? Why can't I at least get an error message instead of being silently ignored?
I share admin duties with other people, so it's possible someone installed an update recently; all I can really say is that I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 right now, and can find out whatever else is relevant.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
~Ben

Thanks for the pointer to createhomedir - that did indeed do the trick. (How on earth do people find these little nuggets).
I hesitate to mark this as solved however - it's a functioning workaround, but does nothing to explain why on earth the GUI suddenly stopped functioning.
But in the (likely) event that that question never gets answered, thanks again for letting me get on with working!

How do I edit shapes created by Adobe Shape?

Shapes created in Adobe Shape can be modified in Illustrator or Photoshop and saved as a separate file. However, your new file will not be updated in Adobe Shape.

Your shapes should be automatically saved to the Creative Cloud. I’m going to explain how you can access them below.
How to access your shapes in other apps
Desktop: In order for this to work, you must have the most recent version of Illustrator and Photoshop.
Open Adobe Illustrator on your desktop.
Open the Libraries panel (Windows > Libraries)
Your shapes should be present in your Libraries. If you don’t see them there, select the libraries drop down to see if you saved your shapes in a different library.
Now, you can drag the shape onto your canvas. Or, right click and select "Use in document"
At this point, you can continue working with your shape, by adding editing. Or, you can simply save the file. Of course, after you save it to your desktop, you can email, post online, etc.
Mobile apps:
Open Adobe Illustrator Draw and open a drawing.
Tap the Shapes icon to open the Shapes menu.
Tap a library name to view the shapes in the Creative Cloud Library. Tap Change Library to select another library.
Select your shape by tapping on it.
Active Slide or Tocuh Slide. You can use Adobe Slide or Touch Slide to place the shape on the canvas. Access Touch Slide by tapping on the circular icon at the top of the menu bar.
Place the shape. Once you have activated Touch Slide, you will see a light rendition of your shape on the canvas. Simply double tap on the shape outline to stamp the shape in place.
Web:
Navigate to https://assets.adobe.com/
Select the Libraries menu item (left menu on the page)
Select the desired library (if this is your first time using Libraries, you will only have one).
This page provide a preview only.
Also, here’s a great walk through video that may be useful: http://helpx.adobe.com/mobile-apps/how-to/shape-get-started.html?set=mobile-apps--fundamen tals--adobe-shape-cc

Dreamweaver CS3 creates "_notes" directories. I don't want the "_notes" directories. How do I configure DW CS3 to not create those directories?

Dreamweaver CS3 creates "_notes" directories. I don't want the "_notes" directories. How do I configure DW CS3 to not create those directories?

No, it makes no difference to Run-time styling.
A design-time stylesheet is a stylesheet that is only applied to the page as you are working in DW. This is very handy if you have elements on the page which are normally hidden/visible and you want to toggle that visibility while in Design view. Or when you have content that is styled in a way that DW doesn't understand, but the browsers do - you can use a DT stylesheet to modify this styling in Design view only. I'll give you an example -
There is a metric that is used for font sizing called "rem". A rem is a relative em value - in other words, it specifies the ratio between the actual character size and the size of a base definition for the character size on the page. In previous versions of DW, this metric was not supported. So text content was abnormally large as a result when looking at a page using Design view. A DT stylesheet solves that problem by redefining the character size in px, but only when I am working in DW. Here's a good explanation (http://www.css-tricks.com/rems-ems/)
You also will lose (I believe) details about which files have been recently synched, and some of your local settings for guides and snap to guides.

Flex Help - Creating Resizable, Draggable, Rotatable Shapes

Hello,
Hopefully some feedback from this forum can guide me into
creating what I hope to accomplish.
What I want to do is have the user be able to draw shapes
onto a canvas/panel. The shaeps are standard squares, rectangles,
circles, etc. .... This is the easy part.
Once the shapes are drawn, I would like for the user to be
able to click on a shape, and have 4 squares show up at each corner
of the shape. When a user clicks on one of the squares and drags
the mouse, the object expands in size. Furthermore, I would like to
provide the functionality so that the user may rotate the shape.
I have currently completed the user being able to draw
shapes, as well as drag them anywhere on the application. I have
used sprites for this. Can someone please guide me on how to
incorporate the other functionality such as the user being able to
resize the shape by selecting a tiny square at one of the corners
of the object. Thanks

Example -- double-click to rotate shape 36 degrees

This is my first attempt to cause Visio to handle double-click on a shape.
I need to rotate the shape 36 degrees each time it's double-clicked.
Here's what I have right now:
Enable developer tab in ribbon
Select shape
in developer tab, click "Show ShapeSheet"
In ShapeSheet, enable "Events" box to show
For "EventDblClick", enter the formula to handle double-clicks
Formula I'm trying:
=SETF(GetRef(Angle),MODULUS(GetVal(Angle)+36,360))
Result when I double-click:
"Shape protection, container, and/or layer properties prevent complete execution of this command."
However, I couldn't find any protection being applied to this shape. Ideas or suggestions? Pointers to existing solutions and walkthroughs welcome.
My goal: Create a specific shape which rotates by 36 degrees on each double-click, and export it as a stencil.

I eventually discovered the problem. It was a mistake of a someone new to this. Here's the correct formula, which works quite well:
=SETF(GetRef(Angle),ANG360(GetVal(Angle)+RAD(36)))
In a nutshell, I was confused because the display in the datasheet showed the value in degrees, even though it appears to have required the value in radians.
Live and learn!

Rotating shapes?

Does anyone know how to make moving shapes in Adobe Premiere Pro?
What I'm trying to do is making a square and have it rotate slowly e.g 90 degrees but stay in the same place (if that makes sense? lol)
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
This is easily accomplished with the PPro Titler. Create a title with a single square in the middle. Put that title on the timeline and click on it, then look in the Effect Controls Panel and keyframe the rotation parameter.
You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
Cheers
Eddie
