Selecting objects inside selection window only?

is there a way, that objects only inside the selection window or lassoed region get selected rather than objects getting selected which are partially inside the selection window?

Select objects inside a shape

Hello!
Im looking for a way to export a pattern made in Illustrator to auto cad.
I would like to select objects inside a shape based on the shape.
As you can see here i would like to select all the objects inside the blue circle, and delete everything outside of it. I dont want to use a cliping mask as it does not really destory the objects outside the
circle. Any help would be much appreciated.
/Jakob

Jakob,
You may use careful manual cutting (using Smart Guides) along the circle and grumble over the lack of easy ways to do it properly on open paths.
Or you may do the destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:
1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),
2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector,
3) Shudder.
This should reduce the size to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path.
It makes a bit of a mess out of the mesh (strokes are outlined to become filled paths); it has the (dis)advantage of cutting each path end at the actual angle of the Clipping Path (the circle).

[JPA] SELECT NEW inside SELECT NEW in Named Query

Suppose i have two JPA entities Master and Detail as follows:
@Entity
public class Master implements Serializable{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private long id;
    private String masterField1;
    private String masterField2;
    private String masterField3;
     private String masterField4;
    private String masterField5;
    //A lot of other fields till masterFieldn...
    private String masterFieldn;
    private List<Detail> detailList;
    //getters and setters here...
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "master", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
    @OrderBy("detailField1 DESC")
    public List<Detail> getDetailList() {
        return detailList;
@Entity
public class Detail implements Serializable{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private long id;
    private String detailField1;
    private String detailField2;
    private String detailField3;
     private String detailField4;
    private String detailField5;
    //A lot of other fields till detailFieldn...
    private String detailFieldn;
    private Master master;
    //getters and setters here...
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="MASTER_ID", referencedColumnName="ID")    public Master getMaster() {
        return master;
    }Both Master and Detail entities have a lot of fields, but i only need a subset of those fields when these entities are queried. So, i have two helper classes which i use in named queries in Master JPA entity :
@NamedQueries({
        @NamedQuery(name = "Master.findMaster",
            query = "SELECT NEW MasterHelper(" +
                "t.masterField1, t.masterField2, t.masterField3, " +
                " SELECT NEW DetailHelper(" +
                "td.detailField1, td.detailField2, td.detailField3 FROM Detail td WHERE " +
                " td.master.id = t.id)) FROM Master t WHERE t.id = ?1")MasterHelper and DetailHelper have only the fields i want to query, getters and setters, and a constructor matching the SELECT NEW.. in @NamedQuery :
public class MasterHelper implements java.io.Serializable {
    private String field1;
    private String field2;
    private String field3;
    private <DetailHelper> detailList;
    //Constructor matching SELECT NEW
    public MasterHelper(String field1, String field2, String Field3, List detailList) {
       this.field1 = field1;
        this.field2 = field2;
        this.field3 = field3;
        this.detailList = detailList;
     //getters and setters
public class DetailHelper implements java.io.Serializable {
    private String field1;
    private String field2;
    private String field3;
    //Constructor matching SELECT NEW
    public DetailHelper(String field1, String field2, String Field3) {
       this.field1 = field1;
        this.field2 = field2;
        this.field3 = field3;
     //getters and setters
}So, basically when i query for a particular Master entity, what i want in return is a List of MasterHelper objects with just the fields i want; each MasterHelper object must include a list of MasterDetail objects, again with just the fields i want.
When the above named query is executed by Toplink Essentials against an Oracle database, i get the following exception regarding the "second" SELECT NEW:
EJBQLException
Exception Description: Syntax error parsing the query [SELECT NEW
...unexpected token [SELECT]
...How can i achieve what i want? Doesn't JPA allows SELECT NEW inside SELECT NEW in named queries?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
The build you are using is an older one, and there have been a few enhancements done for constructor expressions support (for instance
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1421)
but an enhancement to allow constant values is still open: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2452

Itunes search pop-up not selectable by mouse. (clicking selects objects in main window).

When making a search, the window pop-up can not be selected by the mouse. It stays there, but any click results in selecting the main window (for example the normal song list). Even when just highlighting the mouse over the pop-up you can see the active window for the mouse is the main window because the icons that appear when hovering a song show for the main window only.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Specs:
Windows 7 Ult.
Itunes 11.0.5.5 (the latest).

No luck. Even with newer updates, the issue still persist. Also, I have found about 4-5 other threads with the same issue that have popped up and not one has an answer.

Did you run the query in SQL plus? Check whether all the column are valid in your database. Below is the query which i got from your procedure just run and check it out. It is really hard for us to tell you the problem without knowing the table structure

Feature request: Select objects inside Fence

HI,
It would be very nice to be able to select only what's inside a rectangular selection fence with the selection tool.
Maybe having a modifier to disable it or a left/right fence protocol (left to right=select inside, right to left select touching) would be nice,
It would make selection a lot faster in many circumstances.
Thanks

I think that would be a very elegant solution. Please reply to this thread if you agree! Maybe we can make Apple implement this for Keynote'10!
Hi Markus,
Elegant or not, if you want Apple's development team to know about your wish list, this user-to-user forum isn't the place to tell them.
In Keynote, go to the Keynote menu, choose Provide Keynote Feedback, and make your request. Feedback there goes directly to Apple.
While you're waiting (If the feature is implemented, it won't be until at least the next version of Keynote), here's the less-elegant way to do this:
First, try to locate a place you can click to select the desired object directly—somewhere that it is not covered by an object in front of it. Click on the background, then press command-A to Select All (objects on the slide). Examine the outline and handles on the desired object. If you find a place to click and select it, click the background again to deselect all objects, then click on the desired object.
Second, if that doesn't work (ie. if the desired object is entirely covered by another object), click and select the object preventing your desired selection, then go Arrange > Send Backward* (or press shift-option-command-B). Now click the desired object. If it still can't be selected, repeat until it can (and do keep track of how many steps it took so that you can restore the stack to the original order).
As always, when making changes of this sort, it's good to Save just before starting the changes to provide a route back if things go awry.
Regards,
Barry
*You could also choose Send to Back (shift-command-B), but not knowing how many steps back it's been sent could cause you problems in restoring the stack to a useable order.

Returning selected object when selecting something in ABPersonViewControlle

Hey guys,
There is a problem that I have right now.
Basically I have this ABPersonViewController pushed and what I want is that if user touch down on a specific field, it will return that specific field's value.
I tried to look at the documentation from apple but it doesn't explain how to do it.
so how to do it?

Hi,
take a look at: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/addressbookui/reference/ ABPersonViewControllerDelegateProtocol/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/occ/intf/ABPersonViewControllerDelegate
You could implement
- (BOOL)personViewController:(ABPersonViewController *)personViewController shouldPerformDefaultActionForPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifierForValue
return NO to force PersonViewController NOT to perform it's default action und handle the field-value on your own.

Export only selected objects of a drawing

Hello,
I want to export only some objects of a drawing to png. Therefore I select them via click + Shift. I used CorelDraw before and there i can select, in the export window, "Only marked objects" (don't know the exact English term). Is there a comparable option to Corel?
Thanks,
Slodomir

off the top of my head i don't know a way of doing this automatically...maybe i just don't know of it...
My work around would be:
unlock everything
select your objects
invert your selection
hide the now selected objects
export...
bit of a work around but you could do an action to speed it up if you've got a few to do.
hope that helps

Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2007 ~ Can no longer see Calendar in Folder List ~ Only viewable by right-clicking favorite icon and selecting 'Open in New Window'

Office 2010, Windows 7 64 bit, BB sync, everything has been fine since forever. All of a sudden between Saturday and today, *poof* I can't get the calendar view.
I have tried the switches, /resetfolder and all the rest, repair install Office, etc., no go.
I can log into my OWA view and calendar shows up there, but on the local system, when you clicl on Calendar, it shows My Calendars at the top, but there is no calendar. The only way to view it is to right click Calendar and choose 'Open in New Window'.
All my data is there, can add to it and all, but it is missing from the folder list, thereby making it very difficult to use.
I also created a new profile, connected to Exchange ONLY and it still will only show the calendar if you select 'Open in New Window Only'. I can post a screen shot if this allows.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Hi ,
I suggest you refer to the following steps to recreate the Calendar folder.
1. Switch Outlook to Online mode.
2. Start MFCMAPI and create a backup of the Calendar items
a. Open the Calendar folder by double clicking it.
b. Select all items (simple ctrl+a).
c. Copy all items into an empty folder.
d. Additionally you can create a backup using a PST file if you wish.
3. Delete the Calendar folder using MFCMAPI.
4. Close Outlook.
5.Recreate Windows Profile and Outlook Profile.
6. Start Outlook with “/resetfolders” switch, this will recreate the default Calendar folder.
7. Try to set permissions on the Calendar folder to see how it works with a fresh and empty folder.
8. Copy/Move the items back into the Calendar.
By the way, I don’t understand “the local system” what you said, it can view My calendars at top in Outlook or OWA ?
And it can’t view calendar list or the calendar content under My Calendar?

Hidden / Locked Layer Drop Object Keeps Selection (BUG)

For the past several versions of Illustrator (from CS5 through CC) this has been a HUGE problem:
Whenever I turn off the visibility of a layer (and/or lock it), and I drag a selected object from a visible and editable layer and drop it into/onto the locked &/ hidden layer, the dropped selected object remains selected although I can no longer see or edit it. The bounding box remains obscuring my work flow and prevents various boolean operations to be done on newly selected objects on editable/visible layers.
Whenever a selected object is dropped onto a locked &/ hidden layer that selection MUST ALSO BE DROPPED. Before CS5, to my recollection, this was the case and worked as expected. But from CS5 onward, this logical and intuitive workflow fails. So what I am forced to do is I have to changed the layer back to visible and editable, click somewhere off of any object to deselect, then return the layer to a locked &/ hidden state. Now when I am working with hundreds, if not thousands, of objects that I have to sort and process using layers to manage them, this having to toggle ON, deselect, then toggle OFF to get back to work is hellish at best.
No object on a hidden or locked layer should ever maintain its selection state --- EVER --- no matter how that object got onto that layer. Any selection is worthless if it cannot be seen. Any selection is worthless if it is locked. Therefore, drop the selection state when a selection was dropped onto a locked &/ hidden layer.
This has to change. This issue alone accounts for adding over 20% to my cost in hours spent on complex projects where thousands of objects need to be managed. Such complex projects account for 75% of my workload. So this issue costs me dearly.
STATS: Illustrator CC on iMac Mountain Lion w 8GB RAM.

No. They were both top-level layers during my latest attempt that finally worked. In response to your post just now, I tried doing it with sublayers. And with sublayers the problem re-emerged. I necessarily have multiple levels of sublayers to manage my assets, so I guess that's why it has failed for so long, but my earlier test (sans sublayers) worked. So it must be the sublayers that cause the issue.
When the problem happens boolean operations just fail to do anything, and trying to move an existing editable-layer object with a non-released object causes an outright crash.
So this is definitely a bug that needs fixing.

How to give select prvileges on objects in ONE schema only.

hi.. i wanna to do gve a select on tables only privilege to all objects in one schema only,
is there any single command that enable me to do so ?
or do i have to allocate priviledge to each and every schema objects available ?

I think there is no command that will give permission on all the objects in one go.
but u can do it in some tricky way.
some thing like this
spool permission.sql
SELECT 'grant select on '||TABLE_NAME|| ' to abc; ' FROM USER_TABLES
spool off
change the abc user with the real schema name
then run the permission.sql file connected with the user containing the tables.
first try this on some test db and check if it works

Selecting Objects in Illustrator - selecting objects only completely contained within your selection box

Hi
Macbook Pro, Illustrator CC 2014.1.0
When selecting objects in Illustrator using a selection box created by dragging a selection tool, everything that the box touches gets selected. On programs like AutoCad, there are options to select only what is completely contained within the selection box. This can be very helpful. Can one do this in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance

I use Illustrator pretty often but I'm not at a level that I understand scripting. Maybe I'm out of luck then.

Is there a way to take export dump with only selected objects

Hi,
I want to take a partial export dump containing only few objects of a particular schema in Oracle 10g DB.
I am trying to use "exp" utility for this.
The parfile used for this is as follows:
FILE=CSG_Objects.dmp
FULL=n
ROWS=y
COMPRESS=y
INDEXES=y
TRIGGERS=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
LOG=export_CSG_Objects.log
TABLES=table1,table2,table3...
With this I can only export tables but not other objects like views, procedures, sequences etc.
If I try to use other object name in TABLES list, I get errors.
Is there any way I could export other "selected" objects also?
Thanks & Regards,
Ullhas

There are 4 modes in exp and expdp. You can specify
full=y which will get all objects in the database
schemas = list which will get alll of the objects in these schemas
tables = list which get all of the tables in your list plus all of the objects dependent
on these tables
tablespaces=list which finds all fo the tables in those tablespaces and then does a table mode
export for the table list, including dependent objects.
Other than excluding/included a few objects, original exp does not have a way to specifically include certain objects. This was one of the enhancements to datapump expdp/impdp.
If you are running 10.1 or later, you can use datapump export/import. Now, you can do a table mode export and put in an include/exclude list.
include=tables,grants,table_statistics
or
exclude grants, index_statistics
If you let us know what you are trying to include or exclude, it would be easier to come up with a solution.

Selecting objects AFTER they have a clipping mask applied.

Hi There,
What really disturbs me about Illustrator is that after I apply a clipping mask to a set of objects, the program assumes that I would want to actually select that object if the cursor hovers above that masked object if it is outside the boundary of the clipping mask. It's like selecting the "invisible". Is there an option that will allow me to turn that function off?
The logic should be something like:
if object has a clipping mask and
cursor hovers above clipped object OUTSIDE of the clipping mask boundary
then
do not highlight or allow user to select the clipped object
Likewise, this logic should be implemented in the interface:
if object has a clipping mask and
cursor hovers above clipped object INSIDE of the clipping mask boundary
then
highlight the clipped object and allow them to select it.
Anybody know any work arounds? Did they address this in CS4? It's really annoying to have to lock and unlock objects all the time.
Thanks,
Laz

It's not a problem. In PostScript thinking it's
quite normal that a couple of graphic objects
defines one or more paths, and that a clipping path
is applied to the whole underlying path system.
If those paths or path fragments which are outside
the clipping path could not be selected, then it
would be rather difficult to handle paths which are
simultaneously inside and outside the clipping area.
Therefore it's necessary to have access to the whole
underlying graphic - not only to the path fragments
which are entirely inside the clipping area.
