I draw a circle and using "transform scale" I make another
circle 20% inside first one . After I ungroup, select both, split,
I join corresponding arcs and close shapes making 4 shapes
identical... well how I select inner circle with pointer tool make

I'm not entirely sure what you've ended up with but you
should be able
to select any path by holding down the option key to select
individual
paths of grouped or compound paths. You can use the control
key in
combination if the path you want to select is below another
path.
Both modifier keys are for the Mac ... forget what the
Windows
equivalent is.

Inner Join between two big tables

Hi There,
I have a situation where in which I have to write an inner join between two table of the order of (30k to 60 rows).
My query is as simple as,
select A.a,B.b from A ,B where A.a = B.b;
N.B: a and b are of type varchar
But the problem is it takes nearly 15 mins to run. Is there any better way of doing an inner join between such bigger tables?
Thanks,
Jose John.

Thank you all for your help.....Indexing works....:)

Drag Select Inside Points With The Direct Selection Tool While Above An Object?

I'm trying to modify a path in InDesign CS5 (Fig. 2), as it is now I have to select each point individually. Becasue while you're zoomed in (Fig. 1), you can't drag and select the points. When you attempt to do that, you end up dragging the whole image.
Is there a way to drag select inside points with the direct selection tool while your directly above the image with the paths you want to select?
Fig. 1
Fig. 2

FAIL #1:
No. When you copy paste the Cliiping Path [NOT the frame] into Illustrator, then alter the path and paste back into Indesign, it pastes it back as a FRAME, NOT a CLIPPING PATH.
FAIL #2:
Why do people comment on this stuff without first testing what they are suggesting?
What you suggested doesn't work or even make sense.
Apprently in InDesign, you can't have a CLIPPING PATH without an IMAGE there to begin with. When a FRAME OBJECT contains an IMAGE the option to convert the object to an UNNASSIGNED OBJECT is greyed-out, as in UNSELECTABLE, as in NOT POSSIBLE, which is another way of saying IMPOSSIBLE, which in most circles pertains to MAJOR FAILAGE.
When you CUT [hold command then press X] the CLIPPING PATH, from the FRAME/OBJECT you can then unassign the object, but when you paste the CLIPPING PATH back in, it invariably pastes the IMAGE along with the CLIPPING PATH, and once again the UNASSIGNED OBJECT is simply an ordinary frame with an image, and thus NO LONGER AN UNASSIGNED FRAME.
People like you make life harder dude, seriously.
Again, like some of the folks above, you're confusing a FRAME PATH [that you can alter and create with the pen tool as well] with a CLIPPING PATH. They are NOT the same thing.
Know the difference between the two before you feel inclined to respond.
My kingdom for someone out there with some merit and sense of accountability.
It's like, where do you people work? Are you serious? SMH.

Continuing... to select more points or items in illustrator with click shift and drag?

OK,
here is the dilemma, and i bet there is a nifty shortcut to it.
We all know how to continue select say object or points within illustrator yes, in saying this we will select one point, and then use thte mouse to select more points by covering space over a document, whilst holding shift(multiple itmes etc.)
As i am trying to select more points, but say, they are scattered small individual shapes, like say little specks of small shapes, but countless, millions, but at the same time i have other shapes which i dont want to select, but, i want to continue selecting shapes thouhgh whilst holding down shift, i dont want to reverse the procedure, i want to select more and more tiny dots, even if i click and drag over the already selected dots.
Now, how do i go about saying holding down an extra key, lets just say, the letter h for example on the keyboard, and it will activate the whole click drag and shift procedure but to not deselect the points i already i have selected..
If this does not make sense let us know, but i was wondering for what i am doing, i want to be able to continue working my way up with selecting a whole array of tiny shapes, but select more and more as i work my way up or down.
If you dont understand try it in illustrator first and see what i mean, then get back to us, as for what i am doing i need a shortcut, along with the shift key and click drag.
Thanks.

Short answer.. You can't. Shift-clicking is a toggle. It selects or deselects based on the current selection state. If you shift-click or shift-click-drag over a selected object, it will become deslected in all cases.
Long answer... Probects invoving intricate objects are generally best handled by good layer management. Setting up a project using layers as you construct can make selections much, much, easier in the long run. Of course, if something is already created it may not be an easy task to rethink layers. There's also the little known "Save Selection" item in the Select menu. This will allow you to save something you already have selected and reslect it later. You might find that you can shift-select an area, save that selection, then start selecting another areas. This doesn't really address your initial issue since you can't shift-load a selection to add it to the existing selection. But it may help with getting some things selected, then reselected easily.
You can also shift-click the selection circle next to an object in the Layers Panel. This avoids mis-clicks or accidentally selecting something you already had selected.

Connect Selected End Point Question

Hi everyone:
I am trying to connect selected end points. I have drawn my open path and Illustrator is not letting me select my two anchor points. I keep getting selections of the entire path. So, of course, the connect selected end points icon is greyed out. I have tried selecting the two endpoints with the lasso and variations of the direct select and select and they all select parts of or the entire path. Does anyone know how to isolate the selection to just the two end points? Thanks so much for your help!

ALWAYS state WHAT VERSION you are using. No fewer than six different versions of Illustrator are discussed here, and functionality changes between versions.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I am trying to connect selected end points. I have drawn my open path and Illustrator is not letting me select my two anchor points. I keep getting selections of the entire path.
(Emphasis mine.)
The way you stated this suggests you are trying to close a single open path, not join two open paths. If so, selecting the entire path is what you want. With the whole path selected, key Ctrl-J. The Join command also closes an open path.

If for some reason u have the icon in your task bar (the one with 2 arrows pointing in a circle) just go into mobile me pref...click sync...and uncheck box show status in menu bar. My question is, I do not have this option. How do I get the sync to stop

"if for some reason u have the icon in your task bar (the one with 2 arrows pointing in a circle) just go into mobile me pref...click sync...and uncheck box show status in menu bar."
I do not have the option box to "show status in menu bar"
I tried the free for a little while Mobile me, and didn't use it, so cancled. I cannot get the sync status roundabout arrows out of my status bar. AND, they keep trying to sync.
Another issue related with this is that during the time that I tried out Mobile me, I had my ical alarm set to go off every 2 hours. NOW my computer has an ical pop-up every 2 hours. I cannot find how to stop it.
Another issue, Yahoo is trying to sync with my computer and I have no idea why or where that one came from.
Can anyone out there help me please.

When I try to move from one selected image to selecting a different image, lightroom (new install of Lightroom 5.5) will keep the previous image selected, so I always end up with two selected images - why?

For example, I will select the first image in my grid view, then let's say I want to work on the fifth image. When I click on the fifth image, Lightroom leaves image one selected, as if I have held down the Command or the Shift key to select multiple images. This is not what I expect. Then I am forced to command click the image I no longer want selected - this happens every time I try to move to any new image - the previous one(s) stay selected. I have tried a reboot of my machine but still this happens. Also, as a further bug, if I leave my grid with no images selected at all, after a few seconds Lightroom automatically selects the first two images in my library and highlights them - without my even pressing a key! This is really weird behaviour. It's really frustrating as I like to use my keyboard arrow keys to move through my library of images, but when Lightroom keeps two images selected it just ping pongs between those two images. I deselect and try to move on, and it again leaves the previous image selected! By the way - I am not in Compare mode while this is happening - just in standard browsing of the library... Help please!
kind regards,
oMac

Retrieving the selected anchor points coordinates.

I have read the scripting guide,
and learned about finding coordinates this way:
var aDoc = activeDocument;
var topObject = aDoc.selection[0];
var coord = topObject.pathPoints[0].anchor
alert(coord[0])
I'm wondering how you would find the coordinates of a selected anchor point.
For example: You make a hexagon, and then click on a single anchor point with the direct select tool.
I want the script to know the coordinates of that anchor point.
I'm using javascript and CS5.
Thanks!

hmm....selected path points include direction handles, so this should get us the correct coordinates
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ipath = idoc.pathItems[0];
var sel = ipath.selectedPathPoints;
//alert(sel.length);
for (i=0; i<sel.length; i++) {
          var pp = sel[i];
          if (pp.selected == PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT)
                    alert(pp.anchor);
//$.writeln(pp.selected);
//$.writeln(pp.anchor);

Can you ask the user to select a point?

Is there a way in a javasript to ask the user to select a point and then get that information back as an X and Y value?
Eric

One way, if you have cs4, is have the user drop a color sampler. Then you could do something like this
app.activeDocument.colorSamplers[0].position;// get the position
app.activeDocument.colorSamplers[0].remove()// remove the sample

Motion 5.1 Go to Selection In Point does not move playhead correctly

Hello,
anyone seen strange playhead locations using 'selection in/out point' when opening motion projects created with 5.0.. ?
Kenneth

i checked a few smaller projects and dont see the same issue.
For the project with the issue - check the playhead - layer group selected (the layer group is a sub-group of a group with a large number of groups ~ 15-20 groups with 5-10 objects per group'ish .. ).
go to selected in point
go to selected out point
Strange... ps. i deleted my motion preferences in the ~Library/Preferences wo luck.

Cs2 or cs3 can I select a point on a curve without clicking on it?

When I have a very subtle correction it would be nice to select a point and know for sure it was input 43, output 44 and had not been input 42, output 44 because in trying to select the point on the curve I moved it ever so slightly.

Rounded Rectangle - Select one point to select side

I work with shapes all day designing mobile apps. Thus, I'm constantly selecting and resizing rounded rectangles. When resizing I have to individually select all four points of a side to move it without distorting the rounded corners. I cannot click and drag, because that will activate any shapes underneath the one I want to select.
I'm looking for a plugin or alternative to easily select the entire side of a rounded rectangle. IE - I click one point on a side, and it auto selects all four points on that side, or the like.
Thanks.

I didn't say I couldn't move or resize it. I said I have to select four points (because of the rounded corners) just to move a side (ie, make a button wider). Some have suggested I click and drag over all four points to select them, but this doesn't work if there is another shape (yes, on another layer) below the layer you are trying to select points on.
