Using multiple guides to help with layout

Hi,
I have seen in lots of Muse and InDesign training videos that the designers are using multi guides which run vertically. The guides are set with a wider gap, then a narrow gap, then a wider gap etc. I know this to aid layout and create a more uniform spacing.
Can anyone tell me the method used to create the guides and how the gaps (wide and narrow) are calculated.
Thanks,
Matt

In the new site dialog box on the upper right side. The wide ones are the columns and the narrow are the gutters. Hope this helps

Generation/Acquisition using multiple HSDIO PXI 6556 with bi-directional signals

Hi,
I would like to run vectors to test some ICs using multiple (three) PXI6556 cards. The vectors have multiple (>20) bi-directional signals.
Questions:
1. The NI Examples library shows multiple-device generation and acquisition VIs. However, it seems the examples are on single direction signals. Could you show me some example on how to configure bi-directional signals?
2. The pin mapping in the vectors are not in the same order as the HSDIO card pin mapping. Is there an easy way or any tool to help channel mapping? I have 10+ vectors with 90+ digital signals. Manually remapping them is quite tedious.
3. Since we have three PXI6556 cards in the tester, is the "Multi-Device dynamic generation and acquisition" example VI the one to follow? Just to double check if there is any better way to do the configuration.
Thank you for your help!
Jing

hello jcao,
I have adressed your questions individually below:
1. bi-directional examples can be found in two locations Hardware Input and Output >> Modular Instruments >> Demos >> Dynamic Acquisition and Generation Demo.vi and Hardware Input and Output >> Modular Instruments >> Dynamic Acquisition and Generation >> Stimulus and Response Load from HWS File.vi . Both of these examples utilize the bi-directional functionality of our HSDIO cards.
2. The easiest way to map the pins is to use the Digital Waveform Editor software. You can import a VCD (Value Change Dump) file and save it as a NI-HWS file to be imported and used in LabVIEW (the second example above will show you how to use the HWS file). A VCD file should allow you to specify a signal name and assign it to a particular line.
3. The "Multi-Device dynamic generation and acquisition" example VI is the best to follow for syncing across multiple HSDIO devices. The examples use TCLK which is the recomended syncing method. I have also provided a link explaining TClk a little more thoroughly.

Issues using multiple load-config files with ant

Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct place...
I am creating an ant build script to compile our flex application. I am trying to use the default flex-config by doing <load-config filename="${flex.sdkPath}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/> and project specific config file add the datavisualization module and any other libraries we might need in the future. I am trying to do this as I don't want to modify the flex-config.xml
The issue I keep running into is I get a compiler error saying "unable to locate specified base class 'spark.comonents.application..". if I place the custome load-config file above the adobe default flex-config it gives errors stating it the "SeriesSlide" type
<mxmlc file="${project.sourcePath}/FBApp.mxml"
         output="${project.output.binaryPath}/${project.output.fileName}.swf"
         locale="en_US"
         static-link-runtime-shared-libraries="false"
         static-rsls="false"
         use-network="true"
         accessible="false"
         debug="true">
         <load-config filename="${flex.sdkPath}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
         <load-config filename="C:/Hudson/.hudson/jobs/FB 2.0 Flex/workspace/FBApp/FB-config.xml"/>
         <source-path path-element="${flex.sdkPath}/frameworks/libs"/>
         <source-path path-element="${project.sourcePath}"/>
         <library-path dir="${flex.path}/sdks/${flex.sdkVersion}/frameworks/locale/en_US"
            includes="*"/>
         <library-path dir="${project.libraryPath}"
            includes="*"/>
         <keep-as3-metadata name="Protected"/>
      </mxmlc>
the following is my FB-config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flex-config>
   <runtime-shared-library-path>
<path-element>C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\sdks\4.1.0\frameworks\libs/datavisualization.swc</path-element>
<rsl-url>http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/flex/4.1.0.16076/datavisualization_4.1.0.16076.swz</rsl-url>
<policy-file-url>http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml</policy-file-url>
<rsl-url>datavisualization_4.1.0.16076.swz</rsl-url>
<policy-file-url>.</policy-file-url>
   </runtime-shared-library-path>
</flex-config>
It seems to be that the first "load-config" ant runs into is the only one that gets used. When looking around the internet I have multiple cases of where people say they have successfully used multiple load-config files.
This one in particular.
http://flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5629&view=previous
If I had to guess on what was wrong I believe my FB-config.xml file is incorrect but I can't find an example of anyones custom configuration file.
Any guidance would be apprecaited.

I am embarrassed to say that your solution answered my question.
I was about 10 min away from rewriting my Ant script to just use the mxmlc.exe directly instead of the mxmlc ant tag. I kept running into the -flex-config+=YourConfig.xml for the command line option but never saw the xml variant.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=configuring_environment_3.html
Does Flex have any documenation that shows all the different tags that are available like the Ant documenation?

Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

How do you use multiple apple id's with messages beta?

With the wife and myself each having our own apple Id's for imessage because of multiple iphones/ipads, how do we make messages beta on the mac work for us? I tried logging in as me when I installed it and it works just fine with me messaging her and her back to me but how do I log out from me and log in as her if she were the one sitting at the mac? I don't see anything that lets me do that.

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.

Is it possible to use multiple macs/iphones/ipads with single apple tv for an exhibition?

Hellow everyone,
Wondering if some genius out there can help me come up with a solution, or whether this is just too pie in the sky!!
So, I'm exhibiting at a huge conference at the end of the month and want the following set up:
MacBook Pro Retina showing a video loop through AirPlay Mirroring
MacBook Pro showing exmaples of my work in safari photoshop etc through AirPlay Mirroring
iPhone (4s with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safari through AirPlay Mirroring
iPad (iPad 2 with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safair through AirPlay Mirroring
So, basically I want the video loop to play constantly and act as a screensaver almost, then when the sitution dictates I can quickly switch what is being shown on the AppleTV to whichever device I am at.
As an example, the video loop is happily playing. Someone comes up to me and wants to talk about responsive web design. I whip out my iPad and load up an example site in safari. if I turn on my AirPlay Mirroring, great the AppleTV will update and show what is on my iPad. Great, but what about when I've finished with this person. I turn AirPlay Mirroring off on my iPad and the ApplTV goes back to the main menu because it has kicked out my MacBook Pro. Imagine this scenairo happening time and itme again.
The question is, is there anyway of making some kind of heirachy where my MacBook Pro with the video is the default source, then the Apple switches depending on what is selected, then reverts back to the MacBook Pro??
Or, is there a neat little app that I can run from another iphone (almost using is as a remote) to select which source the Apple TV shows and all the devices are constantly running AirDisplay?
Possibly asking a bit too much here, but it would be amazing if I could get some form of solution that allows me to use minimum wires and no fidly changing channels on the tv with a remote!!
Many thanks in advance!
David

and you have to disable one and enable the other manually

When asking about layout (or any question about how a site works or looks), give us a link to the site. Read the Forum FAQ about it and the reasons why.
I will say that a quick look indicates that you have gone overboard with Divs--66 of them (!). And most serve no purpose. The point of a Div is to hold a bunch of stuff to make it easy to control them. Divs with only one item in them make no sense. And divs
that are always paired should be combined into one div (if they are even necessary at all).
Why isn't this one div? These 3 always appear exactly like this:
<div class="category">
     <div class="categoryheader">
       <h3>Services</h3>
     </div>
     <div class="categorycontent">

Emails disappear/vanished when using multiple devices please help!

Please I need help, I have a long question but want to cover all possible options:
I have several email accounts, set in different devices (all apple) that are checked continuously and simultaneously, they are all set as IMAP accounts (no conflict between IMAP vs POP) but very offen emails disapear and I am sure no one has deleted them. They literally vanish even from the server.
I have norrowed down *I think* the problem to the following devices, my Iphone5 opens for the first time the email, and when a PowerBook with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 opens the email at some point it vanishes, it doesnt happen with all emails but it mostlly happens with emails that contain attachments after I have viewed the attachements in my Iphone.
I am a die hard Apple fan and I have looked the other way for over a year but I need this to stop, it is actually costing me money now and I have done lots of research but cant find the solution.
My phone carrier is Verizon if this is relevant.
Any help would be greatly appresiated! thanks!

Are you using iCloud top sync mail between devices ??

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Use the "code" tags when posting code, so the code retains its original formatting.
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 30));Remove the above line. If you set the preferred size of the panel, then it doesn't care about the preferred size of its contained components.

Using Personal Budget Template- help with Budget/Transactions

Hello,
I'm new to using Number and decided to tackle my budget. I've pretty much stuck with using the default template since I'm not too savvy at this yet. But, I've added a new Category under the Budget page, but it doesn't seem to be transferring to my Transaction page. Is there any way to add my created category to the drop down menu under transactions? I added the category "Gifts," but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to show up in the drop down menu in the Transaction worksheet.
Any help would be fantastic! Thank you

Hi Barry,
The new features in Pop-ups make it easy to edit and no, editing does not change the chosen values. If you forget to select all the Pop-ups and change one Pop-up cell, you can later select the rest of the column. Format Inspector offers to merge, and again it does not change chosen values.
Also, we can drag items to reorder the menu. Even better, create a Pop-up from data in selected cells (a long time on the wish-list in Numbers 2).

How to set up and use multiple Ext HD compatible with Windows w/o emulating

I am in deep doodle and confused, sit down and get a cup of coffee cuz is going to be loooooong.
I need some suggestions for my present situation. I have posted a similar question but I only got partial answer and I need to complete this task.
I migrated to my Mac from Windows, and I still have a Windows XP laptop. At first, I formatted my Ext HD as FAT 32 but I noticed that it was too slow. I was suggested to reformat the drives back to Journal. However, recently I had to replace my internal HD and backed up all my data to several Ext. HD. Oh brother what a mistake, while my Mac was at Apple I couldn't get access to my files using my Windows XP laptop because all drives were formatted as Journal (only for Mac).
At the moment, I have the following:
1- Seagate (350 GB orig)- complete back up images 110 GB avail
2- Maxtor ( 500 GB orig) - " " second copy 330 GB avail
3- Old int w/ casing(150 GB orig) 3rd copy 78 GB avail - is working but not sure if it will last, I had this DR for a long time. All 3 DRs formatted as Journal
4- Western Dig 1TB (new FW) 1TB avail
I realized that at the rate that I am shooting I would be running out of space on the current Drives. So I bought 1TB Ext HD FW, but I am in great need from others with more experience than me in setting up a strategy to back up and using my Ext HD. I only use the Int. HD DR 250 GB for Apps only, anything else I use exclusively my Ext HD.
So I would like to know which drive should I use as my primary one, and how I should set up the other subsequent drives as shown above. Do you think that I should reformat all the drives back to FAT 32, (what a task)? I'm also aware the 4 GB limitations. Or should I just format to FAT 32 the 1 TB, and can I partition the this drive and Format each partition with different format,ie. a couple NTFS and one FAT32.
Thanks in advance to all

You can also share a printer between the Mac/PC as well as files and mounted Volumes, see the Tiger articles here
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/
You may want to use Bonjour for Windows on your PC
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/
Then there are VNC clients for Mac/PC that also allow you to actually control the other machine, if they aren't in the same room and you just need to check something quick that can be handy, it's kind of slow though for regular use.
The main benefit of partitioning is being able to have different versions of bootable OS on them. You can try out Leopard on a new partition, while keeping your Tiger partition intact, you can have a XP/Vista partition for parallels or BootCamp, etc... other than that drives are pretty much fast enough, having smaller partitions probably won't realize any significant speed ups over searching the whole large drive.

Using Multiple Apple TV's with One Account

I am thinking of installing multiple Apple TV's in my home so we can rent/buy movies in different rooms. Is their any limitation of how many can be logged in at one time? Can I be downloading to multiple ATV's at the same time using the same account?

You can connect up to 5 tv's to your itunes library. Yes they can download content from the itunes store at the same time, playback the same or different content at the same time or a mixture of each. You may find though that this can put a strain on some networks and performance may vary.
I have 5, I can't say for sure I've ever had five playing movies together, certainly had 3 and probably 4 and for me they have worked well, albeit my network is a little more than what most people would want to set up.
