Set Default Graphics frame when Placing graphic ?

Hi,
I've got a default graphics frame set up with Stroke, etc. It works fine if I make a new frame, but I would like it to be applied when I use the Place command as well.
Can't seem to figure out how to do this...
Thank you....

I don't know whether to call it a bug or a "feature" in the sense that it's coded that way and been around forever without getting changed, rather than being an uninteded consequence of some other change, but it's a pain in the rear end for sure. My suspicion is that all automatically generated frames are based on the original frame code from version 1 which obviously predates object styles.
Since day one any frame drawn with a frame tool has had no stroke or fill as a hard-coded default (despite what you might have read in the documentation). Before object styles I don't believe you could pre-assign a stroke or fill to a frame drawn with the text tool, either.

CS4 Set default file type when placing file

The File->Place dialog box has a default file type of 'Importable files.' Is it possible to set the default to All files (or anything else)? Making the change manually does not seem to stick. I have the same general question regarding File->Open. A search of the forums returned one hit (unanswered) in the Dreamweaver forum.
Thank you.
Dick Conrad

Peter:
Good question. One of our editors made this request, and I believe that he works with files that lack extensions. But controlling the default would also let us go in the other direction: quickly see only .rtf or .txt files, for example.
Any trick would be impractical if it lived in InDesign Defaults. All ID users get the same copy, and no two editors would want the same filter.
Thanks for your response.

Text disappears when graphics frame is placed on top of it.

Hello,
When I try to substitute a large cap in a text frame with a graphics frame in ID CS4, the text disappears.
I have been able to do this successfully in the past, but not with this particular text frame.
Please see screenshots.
Can someone please help?
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

That can't be the whole story. The image you posted indicates that if text wrap is applied, the offset is 0 (if it was anything else it would show when the frame is selected, as it is in the screen shot).
Normally you'd actually do this with text wrap and it would push the text to the right (and re-wrap the lines) in the first few lines when the image frame was put into position, but you've done something else we can't see to make that notch.

Cant get picture to center in frame when placed.

When I drop a picture in a frame it will go to the top left hand corner instead of the center. I have my reference point centered on the control bar and also on the Frame Fitting options but it still go to the top left corner. Am I missing something here?

Photoshop CC - force selection of graphics card when dual graphics cards in use

I have Photoshop CC on Win 8 with 2 graphics cards. The inbuilt and the extra card.
This enables me to utilise 4 monitors in my dev environment.
It is not practical to remove a card as I need all 4 monitors.
I have tested disabling each card (one at a time) and Photoshop finds the GPU and works fine.
Q. Is there a FIX to force Photoshop to select a chosen Graphics Card?
Looking around the web, this seems like a large problem.
Regards,
Chris

As per tech specification of Photoshop CC you must require 512MB of vRAM of graphic driver installed.
Tech Specification Photoshop CC:
http://www.adobe.com/in/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
The Graphics card installed on the machine have only 256MB vRAM.
Hereby, Photshop gives you warning to resolve it.

Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!

I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,

Setting default tool selected when opening photoshp cc

Regardless of what tool was selected when i close photoshop it always opens with the crop tool selected. How do i default to another tool?
Cheers

We can start by resetting All Tools by right-clicking a tool in the Options bar as shown below. Also let me know if you mean CC or CC 2014, and what version OS you use.

How to Apply a Graphic Element's "href" Attribute Value on a Graphic Frame

I have a graphic frame, which I wish to fill with a graphic image. The graphic frame appears as an element in the Structure, as it has a tag attached, and that element has a legitimate "href" as a full path to a graphic file. In UI mode, I have to drag that element onto the graphic frame in order for the graphic frame to be filled with the graphic file. How do I perform the same action in JavaScript?
TIA
mlavie

I thought I should provide an explanation for what I meant:
I am aware, of course, of how to use "Place". The issue here is that I have a Page that is a template, which includes a Graphic Frame. I want to open the page, and then update the Graphic Frame element's "href" tag with the path of a graphic file, and have that file then appear in the Graphics Frame. By default, InDesign does not redraw the Graphics Frame when you change the value for the "href" attribute - you need to drag the parent element onto the Graphics Frame.
TIA

How to set default options in PD 16.5 SP03 PL01

Everyone,
I want to set some default physical options while reverse engineering the table(s).
I want following options to be added everytime I reverse engieer the table.
CREATE MULTISET TABLE,
NO FALLBACK ,
NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
NO AFTER JOURNAL,
CHECKSUM = DEFAULT,
DEFAULT MERGEBLOCKRATIO
This is what we are going to use most of the time, so I dont want to create a table and then goto physical options and choose them. I want this by default. However in rare cases we might be using some other options as well like CREATE SET TABLE, so I should be able to change it whenever I want but default properties should be listed above.
Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks,
Perry

Event handler "AfterDatabaseReverseEngineer" for "model" metaclass may help.
Adding Scripts Before or After Database Generation and Reverse Engineering
To set default physical options when table created manualy in PD, model default physical options can be used or "Initialize" event handler of table can be an alternative.

Text goes fuzzy when picture is placed in graphics frame

I have been using InDesign for over a year and love the software. One thing continues to drive me mad and I dont know whats going on.
Basically when I add a picture into a layout, often (but not always) the text goes fuzzy similar to anti-aliasing being turned off (its not). It just did it again this morning. I have laid out a drop dead simple business card, text is crisp. I add a graphics frame and everythings still OK. I place my PSD file into the frame and bang the text goes fuzzy. If I select and delete the graphics frame the text sharpens up again.
I have had many situations where it does the same thing but also times when it doesnt. I can see no obvious link between what I am (or am not) doing and why this happens. I also considered that this was just a display issue and it would be fine when sent to a PDF but the quality of the text in a PDF is noticable less with the graphic than without it even at "press" quality.
All help and suggestions appreciated.
Jon

Check the pages panel and see if there is a Chequerboard beside the page. This indicates transparency in the PSD.
Does your psd have a transparent background?
Try opening the psd and save it as a tiff.
Select your image in photoshop and create a path. Change the path to a clipping path.
Save it as a tiff.
Place the tiff.
Go to Object>Clipping Path Options
Choose the path you created in photoshop.
Is the text still fuzzy? Just need to check that it is actually the PSD that is causing it, and making it a flat tiff with a clipping path will clear that up if it is.
You only need to have the background transparent if you're placing the image on a colour other than white, usually. So if the image doesn't need transparency in it or a transparency background the leave it flattened with a white background, but retain a clipping path if you ever need it.
Usually PSD files are fine to place and to use in InDesign.
Well hope something here helps.

Graphic Frames Corrupted When Exporting to PDF

I'm trying to figure out what is happening to random graphic frames in my InDesign document. I'm working in a 68 page document. I exported to PDF using the lo-res no bleed setting. The PDF exported fine but when I went back to my InDesign doc, some of my graphic frames had changed to blank white frames. The links still appeared on the links panel but it showed them as on the pasteboard. When I clicked the PB link to view the object, it zoomed in to a tiny object in the gutter of the spread. When I tried to enlarge the object, I got an error saying the object would leave the pasteboard. I then looked in the control panel and all the coordinates and measuremends said NaN. I'm working with InDesign CS 5.5 version 7.5.3 on OS X Lion version 10.7.3. The frames contained either placed PSD files or placed PDF files. It seems to have affected random frames on various pages. I've spent 3 hours searching Google and these forums but haven't found a similar post. This is a brand new system that has been in production for less than two weeks. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Jack

I stupidly started trying to figure out what was going on rather than immediately doing a save as and within about 3 minutes InDesign crashed. When I relaunched and reopened my document, not only were my graphic frames still messed up but all of the content on about 5 other pages were completely gone, frames and all. This is the weirdest thing that I've ever seen in InDesign. I understand the concept of NaN. I just mentioned it because it seemed like part of the problem. Thanks for your reply. What makes this even more interesting is that this isn't the first time that I've seen this. About 6 months ago, I saw the same issue happen to another user on another machine. At that time we couldn't really track down any details because the document was last accessed at the end of the day on a Friday and we didn't figure it out until Monday morning. The only thing that the two workstations have in common is that the documents and resources were stored on the same server. Could it be an issue with using InDesign files stored remotely vs locally?

How to get the text wrap margin setting of graphic frames?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to get the margin setting of frames, and i tried IStandOff which does not work for graphic frames sometimes.
And then, i found the Adobe recommends to use ITextWrapFacade to manipulate text wraps in programming guide.
But now, again, ITextWrapFacade::GetMargins(const UIDRef & textWrapItem, PMReal & topMargin, PMReal & leftMargin, PMReal & bottomMargin, PMReal & rightMargin, bool8 & singleDistance) cannot get the correct margin setting of a graphic frame.
This situtation occurs when i select "wrap around object shape" for the frame.
Any suggestion? Or is there any other way can get that setting?
Thanks,
Aidy
