Turn OFF Keyline rectangle around multiple selected elements.

When selecting multiple elements in Illustrator, I want to see only the elements highlighted, not a keyline rectangle around the group of selections.
Note these are free elements, not grouped.
How do I turn this off?

Thanks, I must have keyboard short-cutted this.
It appears to be an application rather than a document level preference.

  • How to make a rectangle around activeDocument.selection?

    Hi,everyone!

  • Funny Black Rectangle Around Every Selection

    A friend has a black rectangle around anything she selects in list or icon. Trashed com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.desktop. No change. Though it's a bit hard to describe, in list view when selecting a file or folder name the black rectangle starts as far left as the window allows and stops at the right end of the name tab. It does not include the date, kind, size etc only the name.
    On the desktop, selecting an icon puts a black rectangle around the icon.
    There is no Color Label selected.
    Any ideas?
    MacOS 10.4.10, G5 Dual.

    Wow, that worked. When I told her she said she had been in System Preferences and had clicked Voice Over On and forgot about it. Volume control was off.
    THANKS!

  • My iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4 keeps turning off early at around 7-20%.

    I tried restoring it twice and resetting the battery cycle by following these directions: "What you need to do given your current problem: When the phone shuts off and it isn't down around 1%, connect to a charger for just a minute or 2, or wait 15 minutes, then reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Continue running the battery down until it shuts off around 1%. If it goes off above that value repeat the above process until you really do get to 1% (this will rarely take more than 2 tries). Once it has turned off and won't restart or reboot charge it with the wall charger for 4 hours without using the phone"
    I also restored in DFU mode and recovery mode before, not from backup any of the times.

    The battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • 'turning off' all filters from multiple clips at once???

    FCP 5.1.4
    Is there a way to collectively disactivate or turn off the filters on a group of clips all at once?
    I'm making a spot using the material from the film. The master film sequences have a lot of filters assigned ... but the sequences are no longer rendered. I want to pull diverse shots from the film without having to either render, or delete the filters. Once the clip is cut I'd like to be able to just turn the filters back on prior to exporting the new clip out.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Is there a way to collectively disactivate or turn off the filters on a group of clips all at once?
    As already mentioned, no.
    However, you can turn off filters for an entire sequence. Go to Sequence Settings (Command-0, that's zero) then the Render Control tab and uncheck the Filters checkbox. Of course, be sure to toggle it back on before you export.
    Not sure how well this translates to nested sequence though...

  • Turned off ALL startup programs with "select all" - Windows 8

    I was trying to increase available memory and decrease the start up time on my Window 8 run Ideapad,  by selecting "all" and "remove from startup". Now almost nothing comes up at start up (should I be surprised?!?!).  I can log in, but do not have any other options on the screen to choose from (e.g., no menu bar, cntrl/alt/delete does not bring up a management panel). 
    Any suggestions for this foolish Win 8 newbie would be most appreciated. 
    Steve

    ...some more info on this situation. 
    The system boots relatively quickly to the "Welcome Screen" and after signing in it takes another 3 minutes for me to have a useable system - although that is not completely accurate.  In the course of the 3 minute wait, I am able to start the Task Manager; and by use of the Lenovo "black button" I can get into the Control Panel.  So it seems a large part of the wait time is spent being on hold until Windows Explorer is clear to start.  
    If I disable all non-Microsoft services via "msconfig", I get a very quick (at least, relatively) startup; however, I am unable to identify which of the non-MS services is giving me grief (or which ones, if there are more than one).  Likewise, a boot in "Safe mode" also provides a fast start up. 
    Hopefully, some bright soul(s) - from Lenovo or MS or ??? - will come up with a solution to this predicament; altho', at this point, maybe not in time for Christmas!

  • Acrobat: How can I turn off the "smart" feature of the select tool

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the feature of the select tool in Acrobat which auto-completes words of my text selections. This feature is a huge nuisance while trying to select code in my textbooks and has caused me to mis-copy examples many times.

    The smartness I am referring to is when I try to select text Acrobat will attempt to automatically select the entire word (I can reverse the whole word selection by selecting back one character then going forward, but when I reach the first character of the next word Acrobat will again try to select the entire word). Worse is when I am trying to select text starting in the middle of a word, Acrobat will automatically select the entire word when I get to the last character.
    In another program this option is disabled by a clearing the checkbox "When selecting, automatically select the entire word".
    I've found an alternative PDF solution which does not have this nuisance, however, this is not an ideal solution...

  • How can I get width that multiple selected items?

    How can I get width that multiple selected items? (Not grouped.)
    //---------- source code ----------
    var mm = 2.83464566929134 //unit conversion. (point->milimeter)
    var W = docRef.selection[0].width/mm;
    alert(W);
    //---------- source code ----------

    That's right Carlos
    @kimDino8,
    my script in Carlos link creates a green rectangle around the selected items. If you don't need this rectangle than you can remove this lines:
    var newRGBColor = new RGBColor();
    newRGBColor.red = 0;
    newRGBColor.green = 255;
    newRGBColor.blue = 0;
    and replace this:
    var aRectangle = aDoc.pathItems.rectangle(vBounds_Ob, vBounds_Li, vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li, vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un);
    aRectangle.strokeColor = newRGBColor;
    aRectangle.strokeWidth= 2;
    aRectangle.filled = false;
    aRectangle.stroked = true;
    aDoc.selection = null;
    with this:
    var mmFactor = 2.83464567;
    alert("width = "+ (vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li)/mmFactor);
    alert("height = "+ (vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un)/mmFactor);
    Further you only have to do: create a function for rounding of the result.

  • Can I turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills at once?

    I am using iMovie 09.  I am creating a slideshow.  I want to turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills.  Is there a way to do this in one operation?
    Mary Lou

    Yes. Select one still. Open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the middle Toolbar. Set it to FIT (for letterboxing) or to CROP (for it to fill the screen, but cut off the top and bottom). This will turn off Ken Burns.
    Now select the photo you just adjusted and EDIT/COPY (or Command-C).
    Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL (or Command-A) to select all photos.
    Finally, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP ADJUSTMENTS to apply to all photos.

  • Why does computer turn off when battery 40%?

    Why does computer turn off when battery around 40%? I have tried replacing the battery.

    Replacing as in "removed, re-installed", or "bought a new one"?
    This is my display from "Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Power"
    "Normal" means no issues.
    I will stop now in case you have actually put in a *new* battery ...

  • Turn off Adobe's chrome

    Boy I'd love to be able to turn off Adobe's built-in interface elements, or sometimes to use some but not all.
    A truly flexible platform for building apps allows for a custom UI; when we were weighing Adobe vs. Woodwing, the most important thing Woodwing had going for it was the ability to turn the woodwing-ness of it off and build your own navigation.
    Every Adobe app is identifiable as an adobe app; this is not a great thing for developers or users. The relatively large footprint of the Adobe chrome is also a big negative for me. Mostly, though, it's the inflexiblity here. Everything about DPS is pretty flexible, except this.
    (Everyone else's suggestions are great -- buttons in MSOs is a limitation I'm hitting this very moment.)
    David

    yeah, I totally support that! the viewer interface does not help of you have
    your own ideas... but then, nested interactivity (and other things) are
    needed to create real user experiences.
    without that, we only add interactivity to horizontally and vertically
    aligned pages.

  • Turning off the annoying green rectangle around Java windows

    How does one turn off the annoying flashing green rectangle around Java windows? And how do you stop it from jumping to the top of other windows.
    Both of these functions are quite annoying and seem rather pointless.
    (I am using Firefox)
    Thanks

    Are you referring to some Applet that you have programmed or something you found on the net? Even for the latter case, I don't have either of the problems you mention, so it's probably related to the site or your browser settings.
    Please note that these forums are for support to developers and students of Java, not for every java product ever released.

    Hi
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    176x144
    480x360
    640x480
    720x540    960x540
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
    Yours Bengt W
