Star tool is dragging from the inner radius

I wonder if anyone else has this problem. I'am using illustrator CC but while using the star tool, instead of being drawn while being dragged by the tip or the outer radius, my star is getting dragged from the inner radius. The problem does not occur when dragging while holding the alt key.

That's just the way they built the star tool. The polygon and flare tools work the same way: from center outward. It might have to do with a geometric efficiency where the shape can more easily be defined from the center (not sure about that).
On Mac, holding down option (Mac's alt) doesn't change this. Does alt really make a star draw from the outside inward on PC?
For rectangle and ellipse, option/alt allows shapes to be built from the center, but their default is outside-in.

    It took me some time to figure what you are trying to do but I think I have it now.
    The SR is still required.
    What is happening is your "Bundle By Name" is replacing all of the fields of the cluster, not just the value coming out of the case structure. So to maintain the cluster stuff you do in earlier iterations you can either...
    1) Put the "Index array, Bundle by name, and Replace array" inside the case structure and ONLY bundle the value you are setting in that iteration. (as you will see Tim post shortly)
    OR
    2) Move the Index array before the Case, unbundle all of the fields and feed teh case structure and run them across the case so that ALL of your output tunnels come from the coresponding input tunnel EXCEPT for the filed you are trying to set.

    Are you able to receive any mail at all? If not, make sure that all of your information for mail is accurate in settings again. if you still have nothing, go to your email through safari. (example: www.yahoo.com) If you do not see the emails here either, it is a problem with the password reset server not your mail app.

  • Dragging from the address bar to desktop... Why open a new window?

    Running 64bit Windows 7 Pro with SP1 installed. Also running Internet Explorer 11.
    When I drag the icon from the address bar of IE to my desktop to create a shortcut to that webpage, the current tab will close and a new browser window opens and loads the page. Why does this happen, and more importantly, how can I stop it?

    Hi yes... it did work before Tear-able tabs were introduced...
    I opened a connect ticket at the MS Feedback channel for IE.

    I don't think it will be a show stopper...
    another workaround is to store all of your links in your Favorites folder (or Favorites Bar folder)...
    then the Address bar autocomplete makes it easy to retrieve the web address and navigate back to the website....
    If you are using the desktop to store your downloads (zips/whatever), there is no need for this as the IE Download Manager will retain a listing of downloaded files (until you clear it)... you can also choose to save your downloads to the Desktop folder
    I/o the default Downloads folder.

  • Where are the forward/back, refresh,etc- f11 didn't help nor did dragging from the left of the 'y' as suggested---help?om

    Do not have the page forward/back arrows, refresh icon, etc in my toolbar. Saw where this has happened on your page & recommendation was to 'drag' from the left of vertical bar next to the 'Y' in Yahoo- didn't work. Also said to hit the F11 key for Firefox users- didn't work.

    Do you have the orange Firefox button, which is an abbreviated menu?
    If you have no menus ''and'' no toolbars, check that you're not in full screen mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes.
    To reset your menus and toolbars, you can use Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, close Firefox, hold the Shift key on the keyboard, and restart. You should get a dialog with various reset options. The only one to check is toolbars. More info: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode].
    Does that help?

  • Does anybody know how to make a selection in Photoshop Elements 13 without having the width / height box drag from the cursor?

    I've recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 13 and the selection tool dragging this little box behind it whenever I make a selection or move a selection is highly irritating. I tried to google for how to not have it shown and I read all the descriptions in the manual about selections, I found nothing.
    The following image is what I mean. I want to get rid of the box that says W: 98 px H: 69 px, is there any way to do that? I know I could get used to it but if there is any way to not have it, I would love to know about it.

    I have encountered this same problem.
    The only fix, and an unstable one at that, is to alternately pan the screen and then drag the text box such that as it moves to scroll off the screen it remains on the page.
    The reason this becomes unstable is that at higher zoom levels selecting this text box may also cause it to disappear completely from the page. At this point one has to zoom out find it and attempt to repeat this frustrating maneuver.
    In my experience this effect extends to changing pages and alternating levels of zoom.

  • Polygon and Star Tool Draw Only from Center?

    Adobe Illustrator 15.1.0 (CS 5.5) on Windows 7.
    I was attempting to draw a polygon shape with an upper left origin point, when I noticed that the polygon and star tools only draw out from the center. Modifier keys have no effect. Rectangle and Ellipse tools work normally.
    I don't remember this behaivor from previous versions.
    Is this a bug?

    I think the reason for the "off-beat" function of the star and polygon tools must be that the dimensions of regular stars or polygons  do not coincide with the dimensions of a square bounding box. This works for circles and squares but not for stars or polygons. So for example drawing a polygon in the "normal" way from the corner of its bounding box and with Shift held down would not result in a regular polygon. Drawing from the centre means that the stars and polygons are always kept regular, so you have to make special efforts if you want to distort them.

  • How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

    It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

    Please provide me a solution.

    Hello:
    Do you mean setting the selectedRowKeys in the setter method of the treeTable in the Request Scoped Managed Bean?
    If that is what you mean, I tried that and there was no change in behavior. (Still does not highlight the correct row in the tree table upon execution of the next method for the bindings) Does anyone have any sample code they can provide that works?
    Thanks for the help.

  • I recently lost the capability to "view" the "File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help" bar from the top of my screen, as well as the "Start" button on the bottom of the screen.

    How do I get the "File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help Bar to appear on my browser. I also need my "Previous Page & Next Page" arrow... and my "Start" button to appear at the bottom of my screen. I can't navigate without these.

    Be sure you are not in Full Screen Mode. The F11 key will toggle Full Screen Mode on or off. If you have no Firefox toolbars, tab bar, etc., you are probably in Full Screen Mode; your Windows Taskbar (with the "Start" button) will also not be visible.
    *See --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
    You can choose to use the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help'') or the Firefox button menu in Firefox 4 and newer versions.
    *See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
    The Back/Forward button (''Previous Page & Next Page" arrow'') are on the Navigation Toolbar; be sure the Navigation Toolbar is checked (to be displayed)

    *Be sure that "Auto-hide the taskbar" is '''''not checked''''' (if checked, moving the cursor pointer to the bottom of your monitor screen will cause it to slide up; it will disappear again when the cursor pointer is moved up from the bottom
    *It is best to '''check''' "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" so that application windows like Firefox cannot cover it.

  • There was a "new window" and a "new tab" icon that could be dragged from the Customize window to the toolbar. In 7 & 8 there is still a "new window" icon but there is no new tab icon to be found in Customize. Where can I add a "new tab" to the toolbar?

    '''bold text''' This feature was there prior to Firefox 7 but now it can't be found.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
