Terminate shape question

Hi,
I have an orch A calling orch B. In orch B, I have if (decide) condition to check some thing. In the else path, I have the incoming message sent to a port "Send 1" (so we can check what is wrong with the contents)
and then a terminate shape.
While testing this else condition, the message is never sent to port Send 1 if I have the terminate shape. The path flows fine if terminate is removed.
Per msdn note, if a Terminate shape is encountered in an orchestration that has been called synchronously (as with the
Call shape) by another orchestration, the nested instance and all enclosing orchestration instances will be terminated.
Why is terminate not working in that path and is there another alternate option to stop the process if this condition happens?
SRG

You not seeing that message because the Send is transactional within the Scope and if the Terminate Shape is hit, the Scope never Completes so the Send is essentially rolled back.
If you always want the Send Shape to actually send the Message, move the Terminate outside the Scope Shape and just check the same 'chkCnt' condition.

Frame-relay traffic shapping question

Dear all.
i have a question related to the frame-relay traffic shapping question.cir is the commited rate. bc is the traffic which is sent during every ime interval. be is the excess burst.
example. i have line 128kbps to service provider. 64 is my cir so in the map class frame-relay cir 64000 and bc is 8000 which means 8000 bits will go every interval which is by default 125ms.now about be. excess burst will go only in the first interval or every interval ? if i say frame be 32000. will 4000 additional bits go in every interval ?
please advice .

Here's my summary of shaping operation:
* The token bucket used for shaping has a size of Bc+Be (if Be is zero, this equals Bc)
* The token bucket starts off full i.e. with a capacity of Bc+Be
* At the start of every Tc interval, Bc worth of tokens are added to the bucket. If the number of added tokens would result in the capacity of the bucket exceeding Bc+Be, these excess tokens are discarded.
* After the tokens are added to the bucket, the shaper checks if there are any packets that are waiting to be transmitted. If there are, an equivalent number of bytes of packets as the token bucket contents are transmitted. If there are more packets than tokens, these packets will have to wait until the next Tc.
* The capacity of the token bucket will approach Bc+Be only of the traffic has been quite for a little while.
* The maximum amount of traffic that can be sent in any interval is Bc+Be, since that is the size of the token bucket. If the bucket has filled up to Bc+Be, this implies that the connection has been quiet for a little while so that we can allow it a little burst.
* The long-term average of traffic will never exceed CIR, since the token bucket is filled at a CIR rate.
Now, applying this to your example, the maximum size of the token bucket will be Bc + Be = 40000 bits. The bucket will fill up to this level only if there are no packets in the queue for a little while, allowing the bucket to fill up. Then, say that that a 1500 byte (12000 bits) packet comes along. It will be transmitted and the token bucket size reduced to 28000 bits. If there are more packets, they will be transmitted as long as the token bucket has sufficient packets. If there are no more packets, the token bucket will be filled with another 8000 bits (Bc) at the next measurement interval, giving a total of 36000 bits. Whether or not all the Be + Bc bits will be used up in the first interval depends on how many packets are waiting in the queue. If there are sufficient packets, they can all get used up. If not, they get carried forward to the next interval.
Pls do remember to rate posts.

Simple 3D shape question

I'm a total PS 3D newb, so I'm sure this is a dumb question, but any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to make a simple 3D disk shape with blue rounded edges like this...
I cannot get anything that looks like this either by modifying the standard shapes or by using Repousse on a circle shape. Can anyone suggest a way to create this in Photoshop?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
3D> Repoussé is the quickest place to start, assuming you have Ps CS5 Extended. Getting the lighting set to do what you want is the trickiest part. Here's an attempt that's using the Bend: 360 for a lathed shape (as opposed to the Bevel approach above). I added a feathered white fill on top of the 3D layer, as well.
regards,
steve

Please help with graphics2d shape question

I have the following code that is supposed to be used to create "dog" objects for use in other graphics applets. However, there seems to be a problem with my setLocation method. My code is this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Dog {
     Shape body;
     Shape tail1;
     public Dog() {
          body = new Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,100,50);
          tail1 = new Arc2D.Double(0,0,75,60,50,250,0);
     public void display(Graphics g) {
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
          g2.setColor(Color.blue);
          g2.draw(body);
          g2.draw(tail1);
     public void setLocation(double x, double y) {
          double bodyWidth = body.getWidth();
          double bodyHeight = body.getHeight();
          body.setFrame(x,y,bodyWidth,bodyHeight);
}When i try to compile it, i get the following errors:
E:\Java\Applets\Dog>javac dog.java
dog.java:32: cannot resolve symbol

It acts as thougth those methods don't exist, but I have the api specification right in front of me that says setFrame is a valid method for class Ellipse2D.Double. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks for your time and help.
Tom

it acts as thougth those methods don't exist, Well, there is no getWidth() or getHeight() method for a Shape. These methods do exist for a Rectangle2D which you can create by using the getBounds method of Shape. For example:
Rectangle2D rect=body.getBounds();
double bodyWidth=rect.getWidth();
double bodyHeight=rect.getHeight();;o)

Basic shape question

Hi
Starting out with Flash
I have a logo which I cut into polygon shapes in photoshop
elements then saved each bit as a jpeg. This is so that in Flash I
can get them to animate as a shape tween to appear and then fit
together.
Problem is even thought the background was transparent in
elements ,on the Flash stage they have a bounding box which
encloses the shape and thus the white area obscures the shape
behind. Tried sending forward back etc. but doesn't fix problem.
Obviously missing something basic can anyone suggest a fix?
Thanks

Are the text elements part of your image files or was the
text created in flash? It's hard to say what the problem might be
without actually seeing your swf in action.
Also the polygon elements you refer to, is there a way to
export them from elements in a vector based format, such as an .ai
file? This might help as well but again it's hard to say without
seeing your file.

Dragging shape question.

I have created a program that allows the user to draw polygons on the Jpanel but I would like for them to be able to drag the shape around on the screen. I would like the user to click on the shape with the mouse button and use the shift key also to drag the shape. I can get the shape to drag only when there is one shape on the screen but what do I do to check if there is mulitple shapes on the screen.
Like if there are three shapes drawn on the screen and they are saved into an array polyx[]. When clicking on the screen I need to check to see if the point that is being clicked on the screen appears in the polygon and be able to have the polygon follow the mouse around. Please help me I've tried many times to get this to work and I seem to have no luck.

Replicator and shapes question

Does anyone know of a way to import an Illustrator (text saved as an outline) file into Motion and be able to use it as a "Shape Source" under the "Geometry" setting of a Replicator. Basically I'd like to use the outlines of a text object in the same way that you can create a bezier shape within Motion and attach cells to its edge. Picture (if you will) a sign with lights traveling along the edge of each letter. Thats what I want to create. I was able to do this using the Bezier shape tool but I was hoping for an easier way. If I try to import a PDF file the replicator wants to use the edge of the object not the edge of the outlines. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the link. I took a look at this script a while back and whereas I'm sure it would work (because the Shake tracker to Motion script works) unfortunately I'm still using Illustrator 10. I think I even tried this script before and it wouldn't work with version 10.
Anybody else?

Rookie Shapes Question

Hello,
My ultimate goal is to use Photoshop in much the same way that a child would use a bucket of colored shapes (stars, circles, etc) and a table top.
I’d like to quickly drag some shapes onto the page, maybe alter their attributes (size, color, etc.), and change their positions on the page.
I’m new to photoshop, though I’ve done enough reading to be dangerous regarding smart objects, custom shapes, layer comps, and the like.
I suspect that there’s an easy and correct way to do this in Photoshop, although I'm open to doing it in Illustrator or anything else, really. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
K

Just use the Custom Shape tool to draw them, with Shape Layers selected in the options bar. Then each shape will be in its own layer and editable.

Compound path with multiple shapes question

Sorry, I have read the answers on this board but its just not working for me.
If you can imagine a film reel. I have a large circle with 5 circles within. I simply cannot get it to do what I want, which is the five circles within to 'punch through' the base circle.
I have the base circle at the back, and selected all to creat compound path, this just causes the fronter most circle to punch through, turning the other four circles the same colour as the back ground circles.
Have played with the path finders etc and not getting to a resolution. I gave up and purchased the vector on vectorstock, this one works perfectly and as far as I can work out mine is give or take identical, so why is the compound path not taking?
Illustrator CC latest and macbook retina with 10.10

just to be clear, you start off with this (orange circle behind, all objects separate):
and then you select all, hit ctrl+8 or Make Compound path or whatever, and you end up with something other than this?

2 Questions: Basic Shape / Go to Master Page

Hi. My questions revolve around InDesign CS4 for Mac.
Specs: PowerMac G5, 1.8Ghz, 4GB ram, 435GB hd, OSX 10.5.8, IDCS4, Suitcase Fusion 2 (if any of that matters).
I have a basic shape question that is perplexing me. I'm a 12 year QuarkXPress user who converted to ID CS4 last year by choice (to gain the experience under employ) so there are things here and there that cause me confusion.
In any case my question is this. How can I convert a rectangle frame to a perfect square frame?
Specifically, if I drop in an image, and the frame is rectangular how can I make it a perfect square using keyboard shortcuts? I realize I can create a new frame and constrain proportions as I draw it to get a perfect square, then cut and then paste the image into that, or I can transform the frame by entering equal values in the transform panel or control palette. Which would answer my question if this was not something XPress can do effortlessly.
If you draw a shape (box) in XPress and then hold down the SHIFT key XPress will immediately transform the shape into either a perfect square or circle depending on which tool you are using. Release and you have a perfect square or circle. But you cannot seem to do this in ID after you have already drawn an rectangle?
Is there any way around this that does not involve multiple keystrokes or drawing a new frame?
Second question. Anyway to go direct to master pages without having to use CMD+J and then enter the MP letter? In XPress OPTN+F10 will take you directly there and directly back.
P.S. Not trying to start an XPress/ID discussion. Just trying to learn this program and XPress is the only reference I have.
Thanks for any advice/tips in advance.

Keyboard shortcut for these operation , you already know the standard method , but if you want some kind of one step procedure then scripting can help.
Post your query on the Indesign scripting forums , someone may come up with the script to select the master page and change the rectangle to square.
and you can define the keyboard shortcut to run this scripts ,,,one step procedure.

Using Crop Shapes in Artwork and Effects

I am going insane! All I want to do is take my photo and edit it so that the photo is a shape in the "crop shapes" in artwork and effects. But when I drag a shape over, the inside of the shape is black, and the photo shows around the outside. How do I flip this, so the photo shows on the inside, and the outside is black (or white or whatever color)??? There must be a simple answer, but I just can't seem to find it.

Hi...I am wanting to know the answer to your "Crop Shape" question also. I can use it as a mat, or background for a picture, but can't get my picture cropped to that image...Surely there is a way. I am new to Photoshop Elements and don't know what all the bells and whistles are. Is there some sort of a manual???? Thanks for any input. Karen

Breaking message processing for perticular message in Biztalk Orchestration.

Hello All,
In above Orchestration I need to break the process for particular incoming message
if the decide condition get TRUE, I also don't want to execute further shapes if condition is TRUE.
I have tried using Terminate shape but it has stopped whole process...!
Please share if anybody have an IDEA.
And also share some links regarding how to break and continue (C#) in BizTalk, if any.
Thanks all

You've noticed that there is no simple "End Shape" so there's two ways to handle this.
Make sure the control flow is such that when the 'break' condition is hit, there are no other Shapes until the end of the Orchestration.
Set a Flag that you can use on further Decide Shapes to skip that logic.

Very simple question-how to fill a shape I draw with color

hi. I am new to photoshop and having a lot of trouble selecting any shape that I draw. I am trying to do a tutorial that involves filling a canvas with gray, then drawing a smaller white rectangle inside of the larger gray canvas/rectangle. (I did not forget to unlock the background).
My question: how do i select and fill (with white) the second rectangle I draw on top of the larger gray rectangle???
In general, I cannot figure out how to select and/or fill any shape I draw using the rectangle tool. Likewise, the marque shape tools are no help as I cannot seem to draw a marque on my gray rectangle in order to select it and fill it with a white fill. I have also tried to use a "fill layer."
I am almost certain that something is wrong with my computer(I reset the settings), but then again I have not used photoshop in over a year. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The Rectangle Tool sgould create a Work Path, Shape Layer or Fill Pixels according to the Settings in the Options Bar.
The Rectangular Marquee Tool should create a Selection, which you could Edit > Fill or use as a Layer Mask for a Solid Color Layer.
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

Question about Custom Shape Files from newbie to PS

My husband bought me PS CS4 Extended. That said, I have never used PS at all. I have always used PSP. Please don't hate me!
I have figured out that one loads actions and presets. OK, got that. The question I have is if I can have my Custom Shapes and Actions on a completely different partition? I ask this because there is not enough room on the partition for me to continue adding shapes and such to PS in the program itself. I am figuring that I can since I have tio load them into the program anyway, but am asking to be sure so that I don't screw anything up.
Another question I have is if I am able to point PS to where all of my plugins are that I already have installed in PSP, which also happen to be on a different partition. In PSP all one has to do is to point the program to where they are and all is good and they can be used within said program. Does PS allow for this also? If not, do I have to re-install all of the plugins into the PS program itself? I just don't have that much room on the partition that my PS resides on because of all of the other pregrams that I have. Also, does everything I load into PS just stay loaded or do I have to reload each time I want to use that particular preset?
I do hope that ya'll can understand my questions and thank you for any help in advance.

the benefit of having the presets in the proper folders is that you can select them from the fly-out menus instead of having to search for them using the Load command so yes, you can have them wherever you want. I doubt though that you don't have enough disk space for them, for instance, all the actions that come with Photoshop take up about 200kb, the custom shapes are about 700kb but that's because they come in duplicates. And yes, all that you load up stays in Photoshop until you remove them, no need to reload them at program start. For plug-ins you have the option to set an additional plug-in folder by going to Edit->Preferences->Plug-ins, don't know about needing to install them though as i don't use any

Simple shape fill question

Ok ... i've been using photoshop since 1.0, and this has to be an elementary question - i'm just blanked.
I drew a shape with the pen tool, closed it by clicking on the starting node.
But the fill is "outside" the shape and not "inside".
I've never seen this happen before ...i've drawn literally thousands of shapes (tracing images etc as you would in illustrator or other vector-drawing programs).... what gives? how do i get the shape fill "inside" the shape and not "outside"?
thanks.
