Use of OLE Objects with the Publisher tool

Our company is trying to put user guides, screen shots, report examples, etc. on the BPMN diagrams that we are creating. I am wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to get multi-page documents to show up as icons which can be clicked from the Business Process Publisher web client. The normal OLE's work decently for users with BPA installed, but they are not hyperlinked in the Web Client. One option I tried was simply displaying the OLE not as an icon, but simply as it's own diagram in BPA, so it would be available that way, but the problem there is it only shows the first page, and it doesn't allow it to be linked to from an icon, it only uses the assignment icon. Any ideas? Best practices?
-Chris

HI Chris
there are link attributes which let you browse and choose a file as link.
when you create a web export, the files choosen as links for attributes are also exported on Business publisher.
One of the three profiles you choose when doing a web export support files being copied on BP server
Cheers

Problems moving an object with the selection tool

Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....

Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again!

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

Creating Objects with the Shape Tools | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you'll see how to use Illustrator's shape tools to create primitive shapes that you can use as the basis for objects. You'll also learn how to use the Shape Builder tool to combine shapes.

What tool did you use to drag between the skull and jaw to join them? You didn't share how you did that.

I no longer get the hallow boxes when I select something with the selection tool.

I'm really frustrated. I use to be able to select an object with the selection tool and the bounding box would have hollow squares on the corners and in the centers of each side. I could use these to transform the object. Now the bounding box appears but the hollow boxes are missing and i have to use the free transform tool, which when I use to lengthen a text box vertically it stretched the text instead of just enlarging the bounding box. I have tried cntrl + shift + B but that does not solve the problem, What am I doing wrong and how on earth can I fix it. Please help.

Two things I can suggest:
1) Under view make sure that the show bounding box is checked.
2) My Illustrator does that sometimes. The bounding box will not have the corners. I just select the artwork then click on the selection tool again and they show up.....I guess its a glitch.

Why is Photoshop CS6 extremely slow with the brush tool using Wacom pen?

Could my wacom tablet be the issue? The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on. Then the wacom pen work with the brush tool. This seems to happen when every time I pick up the pen and go back to the brush tool.

First, sorry it took so long to reply. Have been a bit swamped. What I mean by the psd processor, is the balls that rotate kind of like the SBDO when the app is executing a paint stroke. So I tried your suggestion, mad a new file 7w x 5d at 72pi, set the brush to 25px at 100% hardness and made a stroke with the wacom pen. It worked fine. The issue is working in large files say around letter size at 300dpi or large format graphics for trade shows at 150dpi. These files can range anywhere from 6ft x 8ft high to 16ft w x 10 ft h for an example. So painting in a channel mask or retouching using the brush tool in airbrush mode is painfully slow. I've found that while this little psd icon is spinning, if I take the wacom mouse, click on an adjacent layer then go back to the layer I was working on and resume with the airbrush, the problem subsides. It seems this spinning thing happens when I initially start using the brush on a layer or layer mask. Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

The Picture of OLE object in the report can't be printed, and how to sovle dynamic OLE object based on path

Hi, everybody, I have a problem which the picture in the report can't be printed.I want to display some pictures in the reports and print them.So I insert the picture as OLE object, select the graph format and set graph location fomular with the path of the picture which is stored in the local machine. I run the system and generate the report, the picture is displayed correctly in the report, but when i print the report using ie's tool, the picture is gone and replaced with a little red mark. I want to use the new feature of dynamic graph location about the crystal report xi version, but I don't know where I should put the picture into on the web server and what the path is . Because my web server is installed in the another machine.I check the view source of html report and find that the system searches the picture under the crystalreportviewer11 folder on the web server.

Need to give the web server access to the folder

Please help me! I am struggling with the mesh tool!

So I want to make this chair look like it does in the picture, but I cant! There is a chapter in my Illustrator CS3 book explaining how to use gradient mesh and mesh tool, but it doesnt help me at all. I am clueless! The tutorial says that I can create points in the mesh simply by clicking with the mesh tool within an object, but when I try to do that, the pointer is "crossed out". I can only add extra points on lines or edges, but not on empty space within an object. What gives? Why is it that others can do it an I cant? Forgive me if I sound a little too upset, but I've been struggling with this for days and I cannot find an answer.
In this tutorial right here: http://www.layersmagazine.com/illustrator-gradient-mesh-tool.html the guy just clicks in empty spaces creating intersections. In my case it is impossible.
PS: Please look at an attached file and tell me what would be the best way to go about coloring this chair. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong? (I only started learning illustrator about 5 weeks ago)
Sorry for the background template being of poor quality, but this was taken from a book and scanned, so it's the best I could do.

You know something I think there should be a behavioral change in this case. To my way of thinking this option should automatically be disabled if you select the Mesh tool. If for some reason you want the mesh tool not to behave the way there might be a toggle or a double click to get the preferences for the tool 's behavior itself. I can see where this behavior can be useful but there needs to be a toggle.
Selecting the anchors for adding color with out accidentally creating a new mesh division is good thing but you need to be able to work both ways.
What do you think Scott Weichert you use the tool extensively, am i wrong?

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

Help with the Spiral Tool, controlling decay

I am attempting to use the spiral tool to create a spiral that gradually increases in the size of the spacing (decay) between segments as it opens up outward. My problem with the spiral tool is that it offers little control of when, where and how much decay between segments occurs...
I've drawn an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Abuzeedo has done something similar by "holding ALT" however I can't replicate it on my system (CS5, Mac).
reference: http://www.webdesign.org/vector-graphics/adobe-illustrator/spiral-tool-mysteries-solved.76 94.html

There is no Alt key on mac, the equivalent is uslaly option, but most likely you are looking for CMD. The keys on the mac you want to try though are CMD, Up & Down Cursors
Click once and let go to get the options for making spiral, this will help you filgure out
To get the spider web shape, you want to afterwards
Object >> Path >> Add Anchor Point (about 2 times)
Effect >> Distort >> Pucker & Bloat (I used -10)

Problems with the healing tool

I am trying to create a Layer Mask in Black & White, and coloring a specific area? I had it work once, but won't work now. When I rub over the area with the healing tool, color shows, and then reverts back to black and white. Same thing happens when I use the "blur" effect, my main object reverts back to being blurry. What could I be doing wrong?

You should probably use the paint brush tool instead of the healing brush
or any filters to paint on a layer mask.
The example below painted with a brush set to black.

Creating a link with the Link Tool

I used the Link Tool to create a Link in my pdf file. The link is set to open a website file. I created 2, one with just a little text and the other was a picture that was 200 X 300 px. When I follow the links, each is opening a full web page. I expected that with the Text link because I put the text on an html page but the picture I sized to the 200X300 but that opened a full web page also. When setting up the link to the Web File I did not see an additional settings as far as how to open the web page such as _parent or _child etc. I believe it is normally the Target.
Does anyone know how I would either do this with the link tool or know of a better way to do it overall?
Thanks
Bob

Hi,
You may be confusing HTML markup for links with PDF links.
In PDF, HTML markup is not applicable.
So "target_xxxx" or any other HTML 'stuff' cannot be used.
For the graphic file (JPG, PNG, whatever), make a web page file that is configured to display the graphic file in a manner you desire.
The web link you set in the PDF, with Acrobat, will result in this web page file opening.
This is the file that will control how the graphic is rendered.
If needed, a resource for HTML "how to" is W3 Schools.
Be well...

RE: multiple named objects with the same name andinterface

David,
First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
service object.
Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

Subject: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
All,
More than once, I have wished that Forte allowed you to place named
objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
situations in which this seems desirable:
1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to
remote objects), cannot safely reference a Service Object unless it has
environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
replicated.
2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
with the partition.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a
bad thing?

What is wrong with the crop tool in Photoshop CS6? (picture included)

Ever since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and started to use the new crop tool, I get this quite interesting visual error and some artifacting.
I didn't have the problem with the crop tool in the previous versions of Photoshop.
What can be the issue?

Seems like a GPU problem. Can you try going into Photoshop Preferences, disable GPU acceleration and try if that fixes it?
