Two Tiny Things to do With Selecting Objects.

First: when I used the direct selection tool I always end up on the first drag, <wince>dragging the whole object.</wince>  Is it default behaviour to have to click and click again to get to the anchor?
Next: If I do something to an object and then click the arrow tool, the swatch thingies at the top don't appear until I click the object again.  I can't think of an example at the moment and I don't have Illustrator open to try.  But this happens a lot, I'm sure it does.

Where and what do you click? If you mousedown within the pick distance of an anchorPoint and drag, you will drag the anchorPoint. If you mousedown on a path's fill and drag, you will select and drag the whole path. If you mousedown on a straight segment that has no extended handles and drag, you will drag the two anchorpoints associated with that segment (and therefore drag the "segment"). If you mousedown on a curved segment and drag, you will bend the curve.
The above assumes the path is initially unselected.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
If I do something to an object and then click the arrow tool, the swatch thingies at the top don't appear until I click the object again.
Since its first being added several versions ago, the Control Panel (across the top of the document window) has been chronically plagued with a failure to update. It often fails to reflect changes to the ruler units and multiple other things. I don't trust it. I continue to refer to individual palettes on my second monitor.

  • Some help with selecting objects

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to use a vector path (like a shape) to select multiple objects behind it (like a grid of dots)?

  • Error on selecting object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

    Hi everyone, i have problem with selecting object in illustrator CC, when i select the current object it will also select the other object, i cannot select the object i want, not on the group or clipping mask.. always highlight it both. it often times happen when i doing so much vector object. any help from you guys is so much appreciated..
    thanks
    Creig

    This has been happening through so many versions that I no longer remember when I first encountered it.
    One trick that occasionally works when you get such a 'ghost' selection;
    Create another object (a small square or whatever).
    Select it. Your new object and the ghost will be selected at this point.
    Align them using any one of the alignment buttons, it doesn't matter which one.
    Immediately undo the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. About nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can delete your extraneous object and continue working (until next time).
    It doesn't always work. But it is quicker than a restart when it does.

  • Can't move objects with selection tools?

    As of last night, I am able to select objects in my documents but I am unable to move them using the selection tools.  I'm having to just scoot things around with the arrow keys.  I've already tried restoring my preferences and that hasn't helped.
    I'm running OS 10.6.8 and InDesign CS6 8.0.1
    Also, for what it's worth, any time I try to use the selection tools in Illustrator, Illustrator crashes but doesn't give me a crash report.  This started happening at the same time.
    Any ideas?

    Well, it was a long shot.
    You mentioned replacing the prefs. For ID that's a bit more complicated than some of the other Adobe apps, so I like to verify that you did the whole job. You'll find instructions for doing it manually or using a keybaord shortcut on launch here: Replace Your Preferences
    I'm concerned, though that Illustrator also seems to be acting up. Maybe you should replace the mouse driver.

  • Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.

    Hi,
    My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
    I have already reset the preferences.
    Cheers,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!

    I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

    Hello
    I assume you want to create multiple instance of your class.
    Assuming that you class is NOT a singleton then simply repeat the CREATE OBJECT statement as many times as you need.
    TYPES: begin of ty_s_class.
    TYPES: instance   TYPE REF TO zcl_myclass.
    TYPES: end of ty_s_class.
    DATA:
      lt_itab      TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_class
                     WITH DEFAULT KEY,
      ls_record  TYPE ty_s_class.
      DO 10 TIMES.
        CLEAR: ls_record-instance.
        CREATE OBJECT ls_record-instance.
        APPEND ls_record TO lt_itab.
      ENDDO.

  • PC-UI: F4 with multiple object selection

    Hi!
    I implemented a F4-application with multiple object selection.
    Now I want to give back some data to the application that called the f4 or I'd like to call a method of this class. How can I find the correct instance of this class?
    Thanks in advance!
    Jörn

    Hi!
    I used a DDIC table to exchange data. I forwarded the object_key and the F4-help application inserted the multiple objects with that key in that table.
    The application which called the F4-help looked to the table (after pressing a button), grabbed the data and deleted the data in the DDIC table afterwards.
    I hope that helps.

  • The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects,( Compound paths, closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group). You can use Join command to connect two or more paths, paths in groups; ot to close an open path.

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
    This sound like a firewall issue. I would start by disabling the firewall and seeing if you can connect. If this works then you know where the problem is,

  • Is there a way to take export dump with only selected objects

    Hi,
    I want to take a partial export dump containing only few objects of a particular schema in Oracle 10g DB.
    I am trying to use "exp" utility for this.
    The parfile used for this is as follows:
    FILE=CSG_Objects.dmp
    FULL=n
    ROWS=y
    COMPRESS=y
    INDEXES=y
    TRIGGERS=y
    CONSTRAINTS=y
    LOG=export_CSG_Objects.log
    TABLES=table1,table2,table3...
    With this I can only export tables but not other objects like views, procedures, sequences etc.
    If I try to use other object name in TABLES list, I get errors.
    Is there any way I could export other "selected" objects also?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ullhas

    There are 4 modes in exp and expdp. You can specify
    full=y which will get all objects in the database
    schemas = list which will get alll of the objects in these schemas
    tables = list which get all of the tables in your list plus all of the objects dependent
    on these tables
    tablespaces=list which finds all fo the tables in those tablespaces and then does a table mode
    export for the table list, including dependent objects.
    Other than excluding/included a few objects, original exp does not have a way to specifically include certain objects. This was one of the enhancements to datapump expdp/impdp.
    If you are running 10.1 or later, you can use datapump export/import. Now, you can do a table mode export and put in an include/exclude list.
    include=tables,grants,table_statistics
    or
    exclude grants, index_statistics
    If you let us know what you are trying to include or exclude, it would be easier to come up with a solution.

  • Cannot move objects with Selection Tool

    Having problems moving a selcected with Selection Tool: the selection does not move.
    Also cannot isolate imported picture as it always seems to be selected, even when deselected: Selection Tool always activates first layer even though I'm on another layer
    Any new imported burshes i make up are not saved, even though file names shows up: only managed to save one brush
    I nearly awlays have to re select stroke width everytime I use selection tools or re open file.
    Are the problems due to compatibility issues with Mac OS and Illustrator CS4, as this new version is know to be very buggy in the industry.

    bottchichellee,
    Illy is Illustrator.
    I apologize for the unavailability of the site, owing to some mess by the webhost. This is an extract:
    Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding the settings was required.
    From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file is not enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
    Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
    1. Close Illustrator.
    2. Make a search including hidden files and folders and including subfolders for the folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version. There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to find the relevant one.
    Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X],
    From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings.
    [X] is the version number; up to 10, it is just a number, and above that the Creative Suite version number, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, and so on, is used (the corresponding standalone versions still have simple numbers, CS is called 11, CS2 is called 12, CS3 is called 13, and CS4 is called 14, but the version numbers with CS are used in the folder name).
    3. Either:
    a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
    b) Move the whole folder to a place where you can find it again, such as the Desktop.
    With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
    a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier, especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
    You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
    4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue to 5 without delay.
    5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is solved.
    If the issue is solved, and you wish to keep as many of your preference settings as possible, you may move the folder back and repeat 3) - 5) for groups/individual files/subfolders until you have found the corrupted one(s). You may also start by only moving the AIPrefs/Adobe Illustrator Prefs file.
    You may also see a terse version from ADOBE: Adobe Illustrator CS4 * About preferences.
    Scripts for cleaning out everything between uninstallation and reinstallation for versions CS4 and CS3:
    CS4 Clean Script, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    CS3 Clean Script
    I believe it is possible to get a refund, but there are some options still.

  • "You are not authorized to download selected object" when trying to download SAP Kernel 7.21 EXT PL 500 with DL

    Hello everyone,
    Yesterday (April 30, 2015) SAP released the new patch 500 for SAP KERNEL 7.21 EXT 64-bit.
    I am using Download Manager and I was able to download the Kernel Part II (DB-Dependent) .SAR file and other files as you can see in the screenshot, but for the Kernel Part I and disp+work files I get the error: "You are not authorized to download selected object".
    On the other hand, I am able to download older versions of the Kernel Part I (SAPEXE_XXX.SAR).
    Is this a technical problem on SAP side (SMP)? Did anyone encounter the same issue and found a solution?
    Thanks.
    BR,
    Michel

    Hello Michel,
    Kernel Patch 500 is yet to release, to the customer.
    Have a look at the below blog.
    Surprise for Kernel version 7.21 patch level 500 !
    Hope the above one helps.

  • HELP!!  Unable to select objects with the selection tool

    Not sure if I accidently hit a key that I wasn't supposed to, but the selection tool stopped working the way it should. When I put the cursor on top of an object and click the mouse button, nothing happens.  Also ctrl A doesn't work.  Any suggestions?  I've shut down and restarted and that didn't work.

    grooveslapp,
    To keep previously selected objects selected, ShiftClick the following ones.
    If Ctrl+A does not select anything, and if no selection appears in the Info palette (select Objects in the flyout), something else is the matter, and it may be time to Move the folder
