Using pathfinder to cut out a shape from multiple lines

Hello,
There is a probably a really easy answer to this but i cant find it. I have created an area of 'pinstripe' pattern using multiple lines equally spaced and alligned etc, i've then placed a rectangle shape on top of these lines and want to extract the rectangle from the lines so that i am only left with the pinstripe pattern in the area of the rectangle.Hope this makes sense, couldn't think of a better way of describing it !
Thanks

I do this all the time! Peter's suggestion is the best/only way I've found. Anything like you're describing, needs illustrator if you need more than what "Paste Into" does.
Pathfinder in InDesign won't work with your pattern if it's made from lines (but will if it's made from boxes), as long as you don't create the file past page 12 ( see this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324684 ).

  • Using ME57 to create an RFQ from multiple lines on multiple PRs

    When using ME57 to create RFQs how can I select multiple line items from multiple purchase requisitions to turn into a single RFQ. If I select multiple lines and then use 'RFQ with Vendor', it only selects one line item.  After further research it appears that you can only create only line at a time (very time consuming). 
    If you use ME41 and create with reference to PR then you can not sort or filter columns to allow for easy consolidation.
    Another forum recommended the following when using ME57 which works but it again adds extra steps to the process.
         The whole process is as follows -
         1) When you are in the 'Assign and Process Purchase Requisition' screen, select related PR and then click on 'Without Vendor' icon to flag all PRs for RFQ processing.
         2) Select these PRs again and click further on 'Assignment Overview' icon (Shift and F5). The next screen will appear - Assign and Process requisitions - Overview of Assignments screen.
         3) Select the 'PReq' column and then click further on 'Process Assignment' icon (F2). The next screen will appear where you have to maintain the 'quotation deadline' information.
         4) Then click on 'Continue' icon (enter).
    [http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=198768]
    So is there any way to either 1) enable sorting of data in ME41 or 2) use ME57 to create one RFQ from multiple line items of multiple purchase requisitions when selecting 'RFQ with Vendor'.

  • Streaming cutting out when streaming from iTunes libarary to Apple TV

    Up until a day or two ago everything was working fine, and I haven't changed anything with my WIFI settings or anything else.
    I usually load up a .mp4 file into iTunes libary and then play it, and then I click on the Apple TV icon to stream it to my TV. This works fine, however after about 10 minutes it can cut out, and then when I restart it, it's fine, but then cuts out again later.
    At first I thought it was a problem with the file I had converted from AVI to MP4, but I just tired a native MP4 and I still get the issue.
    I haven't changed any settings on my mac or apple tv.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Can you use objects as "cut outs" for other objects when they are only bitmaps?

    Hi, If this is possible, this would help me a TON.
    I am using Flash CS4 professional
    I will explain the issue. I have made a tree with a tree trunk and on top of the trunk I have made steps. I am making a Flash Game and you have to go up this steps to continue on the level, while being able to collide with the parts of the tree that aren't the steps. To do this, I would have to cut out the parts on the trunk that are the steps. I have already made the steps. It would take a long time to remake them when the trunk is isolated as a selection and delete the part. If there is a way to just put the already made steps on the bit map and then use it as some kind of cookie cutter-like thing, it would be VERY useful for many things. If something like this exists, or if there is any way to do something like this, PLEASE TELL ME !

  • Can i use keypad without cutting out speaker?

    When I need to use the keypad to input numbers while I'm in a call, the speaker cuts out. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the sound to return, so I lose the answer, usually from an automated system. Other iPhone users say this should not happen. Any way I can fix this, or is the phone broken?

    Can I use MainStage without owning Logic?
    If you buy it from the AppStore, YES

    For a $29 download, does MainStage also come with all the content (sounds, etc.) for its built-in instruments, or is it assuming you already have those b/c you presumably own Logic?
    All the instrument and FX plugs are included, and a (massive) additional free download within the Mainstage application will get you all the extra content.

    This question may need its own separate thread, but: Ideally, my keyboard setups for a "concert" may need as many as five VSTs per song
    Caution: Logic/Mainstage will only work with Audio Unit (AU) plugins, NOT VST. Most 3rd party plugs are available as AU plugs, but you need to make sure you have installed them.

    Yes, and memory/CPU issues not withstanding, Mainstage generally works extremely well for this.

  • TV keeps cutting out for anywhere from 2 - 20 seconds

    My TV service cuts out arbitrarily (screen goes blank) for anywhere from 2 to 20 seconds. Tends to happen more often and more frequently in the evenings.  It is occurring both on my HD-DVR box as well as my standard STB.  All the boxes are Motorola.  Any ideas.  This started about 6 weeks ago and is getting really annoying. 

    that is usually an HDMI issue, so that is either coming from the TV, the Cable itself or the Box. 
    you can try resetting the box first, and see if it goes away.   
    Menu > Customer Support > in home agent > reboot STB. 
    If that doesn't work, you can try power cycling your TV,  just unplug the TV for a few minutes, and then plug the TV back in,   see if it goes away. re 
    And you can try reseating the cable (oddly this works)   just unplug the cable at both ends, plug em back in.   Or try switching the port on the back of your tv (the set top box only has one HDMI your TV may have several to plug into)  
    And you can try changing the cable itself.     
    If all that doesn't work, then then call into customer service and see if they have any tricks up their sleeves,  they sometimes have special reset commands that are a little stronger than simply resetting the box.   they may have to replace it if all else fails.  
    if you plug in a different cable like Component it will probably go away, and you will preserve the High Definition Picture quality.

  • Use frmweb.exe to start a form from command line

    Following the following doc "start any Oracle Forms component from the command line"
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.f1_help%7Cbldr_dev_opts%7Cstart_fb_comps_cmd~html/
    I tried the following two command line
    D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmweb module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
    D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmbld module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
    The frmbld successfully brought up the forms builder and open the orders forms.
    But the frmweb did not bring up anything. I wonder if there are other parameters I need to provide rather than just module and userid......
    I looked into the html of the form applet, and wondering if passing all the parameters would be sufficient enough for the frmweb to start
    <PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
    VALUE="escapeParams=true module=c:\files\orders.fmx userid= sso_userid=%20 sso_formsid=%25OID_FORMSID%25 sso_subDN= sso_usrDN= debug=no host= port= buffer_records=no debug_messages=no array=YES obr=YES query_only=no quiet=yes render=no record= tracegroup= log= term=">
    So I did this from command line, but still nothing.....

    That is a bug in the documentation. You can only start Forms from a URL starting from 9.0.2.

  • Extract/Scan for numbers from multiple lines of strings

    Hi All,
    I would like to extract numbers (the data) obtained from a serial acquisition which will be shown in multiple line of strings:
    $#pressure 20
    !@temperature 100
    #voltage 1.2
    I want to extract 20,100 and 1.2 so that I can do further data manipulation. Should I use match regular expression ? I could not get a proper regular expression to extract the numbers.
    Thank you !
    Solved!

    Hi there! Yes your method works, but it would be better if we can keep all the data into an array separated to pressure, temperature and voltage since we are continuously acquiring data. 
    Can we put it into array ?

    20                    100          1.2

    Hi !
    thanx to all for your responses.
    But, let me explain better.
    Say Dept A raises an Requisition (Req No: 1 ) for 5 Chairs. In the same time Dept. B raises requisition (req no: 2 ) for 10 chairs.
    Now Purchase Dept. wants to make an PO to procure chair with respective to these 2 requisitions i.e. req no 1 from dept A and req no 2 from Dept B.
    Now my query is that, can the purchase dept. prepare a PO with 1 line item only i.e. for chair (5+10) of 15 numbers from these requisitions of dept A and B ?
    If yes then how ?

    I am trying to present footwear on my website and the problem is all of my images need a white background. Because of this, I have to constantly remove the background detail from photos on the net which I currently just use the Magic Wand Tool which isnt great. I seem to find the edges are pixelated and blurry.
    Would someone on the forum please be able to give me an example using a photo from my website about how to remove the background properly? This would massively help.

  • How do I cut out a shape within an object in Photoshop?

    I have a circle and want to cut an X with rounded corners out of the circle.
    How do I do this?  In Illustrator I just lay an object on top and subtract it from the image below w/ Pathfinder.
    Again how in PHotoshop?  Mask?  if so I read up on masking but I don't see that exact explanation.  Any help would be appreciate.

    If you want to use paths just create the Path with any of the Path Tools or paste it in from Illustrator and invoke Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path (or command-click the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel).
    Negative Vector Masks have to be set for the selected Path-elements in the Options Bar accordingly.

  • Notes on 1.1.1.1 using insert effects cut off when bouncing from the start

    That's what happens - It's a bit of a PITA.
    You can (as stated above):
    Start your bounce before 1.1.1.1
    Move the song start marker back
    Move all of your song forward
    In the future start songs on 2.1.1.1 (or where you choose
    After your bounce you can trim and master in waveburner (or your choice of app).
