Type on a path, object flipped?

I flipped an object horizontally. Now, I need to apply type on a path to the object, but when I do so the type also appears flipped, even though the type was applied AFTER I flipped the object. How can I get the type to read correctly?

Good Lord!
I didn't notice that!
What's even more frustrating is if you draw another object, group the two, choose clear transformations, the transformations are cleared, but the type is still backward.

Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
thanks.

Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

Disabling "Type on a Path"

Is there a way to disable this function?
I regularly have to edit text within a grid of lines in illustrator. I can replace/edit text zoomed out, but when I try the cursor automatically changes to the type on a path tool. I then have to zoom in, edit text, zoom back out thousands of times a day. It would save me a bunch of time if I could set the type tool to ignore paths and only select text.
I could take the grid of lines on the files I'm working on and send them to back and lock them, but I am dealing with tens of thousands of files, and it's just not practical.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of type on a path, or at least prevent Illustrator from automatically switching to that tool when I hover the type tool over a path?

There is no good way to disable type on the path tool. There should be, it should be a separate subtool that never comes up automatically, or at least a setting to make it behave like that. Most instances of its usage are accidental.
Stopgap solutions involve locking or hiding objects, making sure your text objects are on top, and working more zoomed in than you want to.

Type on a path won't export

I've added type on a path around a circular EPS object. I have used two paths and grouped them with the EPS. Exporting
to PDF the EPS is there, but the text isn't.
The text is coloured with a pick up from a graphic on the page. I have tried exporting again with the text coloured
black, and the grouped objects ungrouped. Still no joy.
Export preset is Pass for Press V6 (essentially PDF/X-1a:2001). I have toggled the Create Tagged PDF option to no
effect. InDesign previews show the text to be there.I have ensured the text is above the EPS in the stack order, and
also moved it to a layer above.
Any ideas?
CS3. XPSP3.

No, it's well behaved now. I grouped and ungrouped with no problems. I dragged on to the page a copy of the type and EPS
I had put in a library before I got the file fixed, and it still exported properly. And I have edited the text by
changing its tracking. And again, it's behaving itself.
All I can put it down to is the amount of fiddling I had to do when setting the type on the path originally to get it
looking right. Somewhere along the line I guess I caused a corruption that the INX transition removed.

Type on a Path grayed out in CS3

I am new to Illustrator, following Help to run type around a circle. It tells me to select the type object and then select "Type on a Path," however, that option is mysteriously grayed out. What might I be doing wrong. Please help!
thanks!

Back up a few topics to the one titled "Entering Text." Read the subtopic, "Enter Text Along A Path."
In the Help area to which you are referring, where the instructions say to "select the type object," it means for you to select not just an *ordinary* type object, but a path that already has text attached to it (what I call a pathType object, but which Illustrator calls a "Type on Path object"). In other words, it assumes you have already typed text along a path and is telling you to select that kind of text object.
If you select that type...uh...KIND of object, you will then find the Type On A Path menu selectable, and you'll be able to get to the orientation options.
Start this way:
1. Ellipse Tool: Draw an Ellipse.
2. Type on a Path Tool: Click the edge of the ellipse and type characters.
3. Type menu: Type On A Path...
Don't worry. It's not you.
Illustrator has so-called "Point Type objects" and so-called "Area Type objects". But what one might expect to be referred to as "Path Type ojbects" are called "Type on Path objects". The Appearance Palette doesn't help. It labels all three as simply "Type".
AI's Javascript refers to them as "areaText", "pointText", and "pathText". But no one would know that, unless messing with Javascript.
The Document Info Palette--uh, no, that's a PANEL now--refers to them as "Point Type objects", "Area Type objects", and "Type on Path objects". But who would think to look there? And it only does that if you select Objects from its little hidden flyout menu. And who would think to do that?
There are, of course, not three, but SIX type tools. The regular one, the...uh..."Type Tool", can be used to create "Area Type objects" and "Type on Path objects" as well as "Point Type objects". So you don't really have to use the separate "Area Type Tool" and "Type on a Path Tool". If you click the edge of a closed path with the "Type Tool", you will create an "Area Type object"...unless you press Alt, in which case you will create a "Type on Path object". But if the path is open, clicking its edge with the "Type Tool" will create a "Type on Path object"...unless of course you press Alt, in which case it will create an "Area Type object".
Confused yet? No?
Then perhaps it's time to take a look at the cleverly-named Effect>Distort & Transform>Transform command. Or the Pathfinder menu commands which are not to be confused with the identically-named Pathfinder Panel buttons which don't do exactly the same things, or the Shape Modes which also reside in the Pathfinder Panel.
You'll also find three cutting tools, none of which work right, and a Page Tool that does not manipulate pages. Illustrator doesn't have any pages; it has an Artboard. The Page Tool doesn't move the Artboard, either; it moves the printing tiles.
Before quitting for the evening, be sure to kneel beside your computer, press your palms together and, solemnly rotating to face the twelve signs of the zodiac, recite these twelve words twelve times out-loud in a slow rythmic monotone: "Strokes and Fills are not Attributes but Appearances but Appearances have Attributes."
Welcome to Illustrator. ;-)

Issue with the Data Type 'Number' in Business Objects

Hi,
I have an Object in the Universe where the Data Type of the Object is a number. This Column pertaining to this Object has certain values in the database out of which there is a 17 Digit Value which is 00000000031101165.
Now, when trying to retreive the same value through Business Objects it is getting rounded off to 00000000031101200 automatically when trying to view in Webi and when trying to retreive the same in Designer/Deski, it displays as 0.000000003110116E+16.
So, I would like to know if there is any other alternative in trying to retreive the Original Value that would not round off. Also, do we have any Limitation for the Data Type Number in Business Objects? The Version we are on is XI3.1.
Note: There are no functions that are used on this Object at the Universe Level and would not like to use any functions here.

What is the underlying database?
It looks like the data is considered to have two decimals, but is rounded to zero decimals.
Only you don't see the number formatting.
Is this a BW query?
Is this a calculated keyfigure?
In the query you can specify the rounding you want and it is also possible to specify it on an infoobject level.
Check those settings...
Hope this helps,
Marianne
PS. Oh, and about the formatting, you can specify a default object format in the universe and override it on the final client (WebI, Crystal)

DMS BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 Class type Technical Document Category, object ty

Hello Experts!
The problem is that DMS import functionality stoped working after supp. pack implementation.
The process is based on BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 functionality.
The first problem was an error "The status set requires a previous status" which was causes dy note 1157678
(http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Error-Thestatussetrequiresapreviousstatus)
After setting break point/de-implementing that note additional error appeared:
"Class type Technical Document Category, object ty"
Does anyone have idea what caused the problem, or which sap note did that? before SP19 implementation that error was not displayed.
Current highest support package is SAPKH60403.
Thanks in advance for help,
Rgds,
LB

Hi,
That error refers to updating characteristics for classification (addnl data tab in DIR).
Does anyone know what could cause the problem after support pack implementation?
Is it possible that bapi_document_create2 > api_document_maintain2 disables an option to update classification?

How to make path object clickable in flex 4.0

hi , i apprechiate if any one can help me out with my problem here as i am new to flex
I am developing a flex web application and in one my components i need to draw paths around some shapes , i did this easily but my problem is that i need to make changes in response to user mouse click or mouse hover events over that path.
the problem is that the path object do not have any events accept the activate event. any one can help me out on this one .

thanks for your reply but my problem is not to recreate the path based on an event
what i need is to listen to the click event on the path itself after it is created and diplayed to the user so that when the path is clicked i can change application state.

BAPI_OBJCL_GET_KEY_OF_OBJECT - Class type 001 requires additional objects

ABAP'ers
I am trying to use BAPI's to complete class assignments (mimicking CL20N).
I am using BAPI_OBJCL_GET_KEY_OF_OBJECT to get the internal object key that is needed for BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE_KEY, which I am using to complete the classification.
When I execute BAPI_OBJCL_GET_KEY_OF_OBJECT for class type 002 I get the internal key needed for the second BAPI.
When I execute the same BAPI for class type 001 I get the following error:
"CL669 - Class type 001 requires additional objects"
I have seen other posts on the forums on how to do this for class type 023, but I need to complete this for class type 001.
What are the additional objects needed?
Can I use this feature if a material HAS NOT been extended to a plant or storage location?
I have looked in table INOB and there are no entys for this class type - is this normal? Is there something that I am missing?
I have already tried internal and external values, concatenating with the client number and plant number but still get the same error.

Hey Chris,
You cannot use the BAPI for class type 001, This BAPI can only be used with class types which have multiple objects enabled.
For changing the characteristics of material try using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE.
Here the key of the object will be your material number

Warping skewed type on a path

Hi,
As you'll see in the attached screenshot, I wanted to type along a path that mimmicks the marquee in the photo that is in the background. I was able to get it to do that pretty easily by just drawing the path, type on a path and then type on a path options/skew. The only slight thing is that the last couple of words start to curve back out when I want them stay against the marquee rail.
Is there a way to warp it in InDesign?
Or would it be easier to do this in another program?
Thanks!

Well I would likely build this in AI or another application.
At both ends of the line, try curving them down slightly. The marquee itself shows a slight outward splay, and if you followed it too closely then that may be what is affecting the ends of the line.

Shape color - Type on a path

Is there a way to keep the color on a shape when you use Type on a Path without making a new fill in the Appearance panel?
Thanks

Awesome.
I suppose I could just duplicate the layer then, and type on that. Then group.
Ctrl C, Ctrl F, type, select both layers, then Ctrl G
Good enough.
Thanks !

Stretching type on a path

I know you can only work with one path at a time, but is there anyway to create type on a path that stretches each letter as the word goes on? Basically, The bottom arc drops sharper than the top arc, but I would like to type to stretch proportionally to the top arc... does this make sense anyone?

If I wanted the type to follow the first brown scroll (so it would start in the green that fades to white) but I want the top to stretch to the upper brown images of people with their arms up...
