Text square with other objects in a layer

Using Motion 4. I have a 3d scene with various layers. Each layer contains objects that are oriented differently. I'm trying to add text to one of those layers. But the text is oriented square to the screen instead of being oriented square with the other objects in that layer. How can I orient the text square to the other object. I could try to do it manually but I'm sure there is a way to do this automatically.
Thanks

I did find a way to do this, although I'm sure there is an easier technique I don't know about. I used the camera framing behavior to bring the layer square with the camera. Then I added the text to the layer. Finally, I removed the Camera Framing behavior to go back to the original view. No so simple but it works.

Integrating the new text engine with other Adobe products?

Hello,
Is there any plan to integrate the new text engine with other
adobe products that dos not support RTL languages?
In famous products like AfterEffects or Director, No way to
type correctly arabic text or (rtl) generally - The only way is
converting the text to a graphic format in an external program !!
And there is no Middle East versions for these products.
So, I wish adobe thinks to take this step in near future.
Thank you,

I found this blog post about an unsupported feature in CS4 products for Arabic, Indic and other scripts.
http://www.thomasphinney.com/tag/indesign/
Since several Adobe products such as After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator use the same text engine you might want to try copy-pasting Arabic text from the Photoshop CS4 template provided in this blog post to After Effects CS4 and see if it works. AFAIK Director uses a different text engine from PS, AI and AE.

Group a word in a text block with an object outside the text block?

As I work at a publishing house, I mostly work with long texts. Often, objects that mark something in the text, for example to mark that this word is in the dictionary. But as soon as I format the text and the word moves up or down, the dictionary marking has to be moved manually. This is often a source of error.
What if you could lock an object to a certain word in textblock, and as the word moves, the object follows within the structured assigned. To link an object to follow a word. Like grouping to objects, but grouping a certain word in a text block and an object outside the textblock.
What do you think?

I know what you mean
Here's how you do it - If I've understood you correctly
You need to place the object after or before the word, depending, and change the an X Relative to: Anchor Marker
You can see when you go to View Text Threads and have the anchored objected selected it shows you where the anchor is linked to. In this case it's linked to where it's anchored, instead of the page edge, or frame edge etc.

Newbie question, object stays underneath every other object on the layer?

I'm trying to create a logo with a glass shine and shadfows. Now there something funny. On one layer an object stays beneath every layer. While doing so in the layers panel the object is placed on top. Tried ctrl_x and then ctrl-f but the object stays below every other object. But in the layer panel its placed on top???
TIA

The layer itself is normal 100% opacity. Now the black object stays behind all the other objects...

Every since ios8 my camera is not working with text or with other apps that worked flawlessly before. I just get a black screen when I go to take a photo.

Ever since downloading ios8 onto my 5S the camera isn't cooperating with other apps--messages, Freshbooks in particular. What's up with that? Very frustrating!

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Moving an image on a different layer moves other objects in another layer?

I've got two layers (this happens with only one layer as well). In the first layer I've got an image, some rectangles, and a couple of text boxes. In layer 2 I've only got one image. When I move the image up or down Muse also moves some of the objects in layer 1. How can I prevent this from happening? It's resizing or moving them all out of wack.

Hi Cfriedman,
Kindly lock the layer that you are not currently working on, before making edits or moving content in the other layers. (In this case, lock layer 1 before moving objects in layer 2)
Locking will ensure that you do not accidentally select and edit the objects/layers.

Is there a way to automatically populate a text-box with target object's colour values (CMYK, RGB, HEX, etc.)?

I know there's image metatext, but I'd like to know if it's exclusive for images. When I set up my branding colour scheme I usually come up with about 25 different colours, so it's kind of a chore to go ahead and fill in the Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX values for each one of them. Is there an easy way to do this? If not in InDesign, is there a way to do it in Illustrator?
Thank you on advance!

The only problem is it only fills in the RGB values
Looks like the script label is the swatch's actual color values, which can be Lab, CMYK, or RGB (not Hex). The problem with equivalents is which flavor? If you want the RGB equivalent of a CMYK swatch do you mean sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProPhoto RGB, etc., they would all be different.

Tentative bug report: property node (and other objects) resizes structure in which they are dropped even when this is not needed

This one has bugged me for a while, so, since I am in a mood to report annoying features, here it is:
On the diagram, when you drop an object that could have its size increased by user action (for instance a property node in which you chose "Value", which is a short property, but you could later change this to a "longer" one, which admittedly might require more space on the diagram), a case structure in which you drop it, will automatically increase its size.
Let me illustrate this with ONE example (can be reproduced with other objects such as enums, clusters, etc...).
Here is a simple diagram:
Note that I am going to create a property node from the front panel. This, for a reason that makes the beauty of this "feature", is very important. Apparently, if you create the property node from the diagram, nothing weird happens. The exact location where I will drop the node is not very important but needs to be close enough from the border.
Here is the result (LV 2011 but as I said, this has bugged me for a few versions already):
Basically, the case structure (and the whole diagram as a matter of fact) has expanded.
This is particularly annoying, say, when you are creating a diagram with 10 cases in a case structure and you start dropping things such as property nodes in each case: the structure keeps growing, and growing, and growing...
That also works with Event structure, and I am ready to bet, with other as well.
As I said, it is also not limited to Property nodes. I have noticed that this happens if you drop a cluster constant that contains an enum (presumably because some of the enumerated strings are longer than others).
I could speculate why this is the case, but that is not my job.

Actually, this might not be true. I found a variant of this behavior. With "Place Structure with Auto Grow enabled" unchecked, here is what I observed while dropping a property node on my diagram:
Before:
After:
This is the expected behavior. The Property Node is partly hidden inside the Case Structure I dropped it in. Now that's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to drop it in in the innermost Case Structure:
The problem is that now this Structure has grown (as has the whole diagram) to leave space for the whole Property Node:
It is a subtle bug in the sense that I tried to reproduce it on a new VI with a series of nested Case Structures, but it did not result in this behavior.
Anybody caring to comment?

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Yes, if you are provisioned by your carrier to do so. IF both phones are iphones with IOS 5.0 or higher then you can use imessage.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
You can also create an Automator Service:
Open Automator
Select: Service
Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
and:
Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).
