Vector files for a plotter - solutions to truly delete hidden areas?

Hi - I am using Illustrator to create vector files for a plotter. The preview/appearance of the file doesn't matter, only the "outline" view. Whatever I see in Outline is what will be cut/drawn. This becomes an issue with areas like expanded patterns, compound paths, etc. where hidden areas/paths still show up in Outline. Is there a workaround for this? For example, can I fill a complex shape with a line pattern, expand it, and have the pattern paths truly be cut off at the edges of the shape?

If you mean, selecting the hidden paths in Outline view and deleting/erasing; yes, that is workable in some circumstances. Mostly with flat shapes. Where that gets more complicated is where there are a lot of overlapping paths making up a form. I suppose using layers and the scissors tool to sever paths (in Outline view) this might be my best bet. Seems like I will need to add anchor points, too, to keep ellipses (for example) the right shape. It will be time-consuming, especially because I am new to AI, but at least it will work!
Thanks!

Vector File for Web

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my vector file when I save for web. I need an image that is 100px x 100px and when hovered over on the webpage, zooms. Can you help me out with how I should save the vector image (eps) so it will keep the quality at a small pixel size? See example on link...www.theram.com/jquery/jquery_hover_zoom/jquery_hover_zoom/indexPractic e.html
Thanks!

You save the large size, then scale that for the non-hover state.
So you want a 200x200px image. Then use jquery to reduce that to 100x100px for the non-hover state.

I am trying to free up space on my hard drive. I am wondering what if any of the itunes files for apps or music can be deleted without affecting the use of them in the future if they are loaded on my i phone and i pad 2?

When I search my hard drive to find space for freeing up memory I have a lot of files for Apps, and music. I am wondering if these are pertinant and need to be kept on my hard drive, or if I can remove them in any way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am going to revise my question to this. If I compress my itunes folder which would save me a considerable amount of space will this make the music and apps information stored in there unsyncable?

HELP!!!! I NEED BACKUP FILES FOR A MOVIE THAT THIS KID DELETED!!!

I'm in a high school class that is called E@ST. (Environmental and Spatial Technology) This kid got on the IMac and deleted this movie of a kid he hates. It was in IMovie. Is there any way I can find backup files or a ghost of it to restore? It was a class project.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is a little complicated any you'll need the IT staff to be onside to achieve it.
Boot from an External Hard Drive - this reduces use of the internal drive. Any use of the Internal Hard Drive degrades the chance of recovering the iMovie project.
Obtain and install Data Rescue II Demo - this free Demo version will at least tell you if recovery is possible.
Use Data Rescue II (full version) to recover erased files to the external drive - again this minimizes use of the Internal Hard Drive.
Copy the data back to the Internal only when you are confident you have recovered the missing files.
Ideally your IT Staff have automatic back-up procedures in place and so should be able to restore the data to your accounts if you tell them the situation.
Let us know how you get on.

Error while uploading standard text files for the Global rule set

Hi all,
As part of Post Installation Activities we have uploaded standard text files for business process, functions, risks and rule set obtained with the installable Software.
While uploading the text files we have uploaded the Basis Functions Authorizations first and then R/3 text files.
When we checked no actions are appearing in the rule architect under respective functions except for the BASIS Module.
Is this because we have uploaded the Basis functions before the R/3 text files?If yes, how to replace the Basis with the R/3 ones.
We tried to replace the Basis function authorizations by re-uploading the R/3 text files again but we got the below error message u201CORA-00001:unique constraint (SAPSR3DB.SYS_C004479) violatedu201D
Can somebody please help in this regard how to get the standard rule set in our system?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hi Sri,
you should upload first the static text files and the authorization objects first and then the GRC standard rule set files following the instructions of the SAP Configuration Guide available in Service Market Place under http://service.sap.com/instguides .
The GRC standard rule set contains files named Basis_functions_action.txt and R3_function_action.txt. The first one contains ONLY function definitions in terms of transcation codes for basis only, whereas the second one contains functions definition for basis AND ERP modules. The same holds for the *_function_permission.txt files. There are also function definition files for other SAP solutions such as APO, CRM, HR etc.
You can open a customer message and request a deletion script for the rule sets files you have uploaded already. After their application of this script all rule set data will be deleted from your database. If you have uploaded static text and authorization files correctly, you can then upload the GRC standard rule set files as needed again.
best regards,
Frank

Vector File Looks Jumpy

Hello,
I am using a vector file for an animation and I am having a problem with it looking jumpy. The vector is being continuously rasterized, it is somewhat thin and it is doing a very slow rotation on the y axis. When I render, the lines on the vector seem to shift around as it spins making it look like it's jumping slightly. I'm sure this is an aliasing issue, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
Any ideas?

To increase apparent aliasing duplicate the layer, add a bit of blur to the bottom layer and experiment with blend modes. I find multiply to work well.
To decrease judder or flickering edges on a move you may have to adjust the timing or the move or modify the motion path. See this article from the Forum FAQ.
Sometimes there is no other option than a slight re-design of the animated artwork. I have done this for some very large companies that have logo's that simply do not work for video. Ad agencies understand the problems and can usualy approve the modifications in behalf of the client. Clients have to be gently educated. The ones that won't budge end up with logos that don't look as good as they should and you will take the blame. That's just the way it is.

How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

Hi All,
I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
multiple instances of OC4J ?
3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to generate xml-file for SAP Fiori (UI add-on) with Solution Manager 7.0.1?

Hello Guru,
could you please help with my issue with Fiori Installation.
We want to install SAP Fiori Front-End (GW+UI) on the Sandbox system with SAP Netweaver 7.3.1. (SP14)
Gateway component (SAP GW CORE 200 SP10) was installed without any problems.
But I need to install UI-add-on (NW UI Extensions v1.0) and when I try to install it via SAINT, transaction said me that I need to generate xml-file for it (as in General notes for UI add-on mentioned).
But I have Solution Manager 7.0.1 and in MOPZ for this version I do not have option "install Add-on" as it written in Guide for ui add-on installation.
Could you please help me with advice how to generate xml-file for UI add-on installation on SolMan v.7.0.1?
If where is no way, but only to upgrade Solution Manager, maybe somebody could give me xml-file for your system (for NW 731) and I will change it to my needs, I will be very grateful!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Bets regards,
Natalia.

How to declare variable in solution file for use in project files.

Hi Folks,
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I would like to declare a variable in my solution file that can used by all of the projects (prof files) in that solution.
More specifically in the project files, references are stored using relative paths which cause issues if they don't exist. I would like to replace the relative paths with a variable set in the solution file that can easily be changed when the solution is
built in a different location.
So I would like to replace "../../../SomeProject" with "$(SomeLocation)/SomeProject" but set the $(SomeLocation) in the solution file.
Regards
Andy

Hello Andy,
Here is a common sln file:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2013
VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.30723.0
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1

EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU

EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
And the Global Interface in the solution file is actually used for Visual Stuido add-ins. To know details, please read the following MSDN article:
1. Persisting Information in Projects and Solutions
Here you can find "If the Globals object is associated with the
Solution2 object, then the value persists in the .sln file. These values are persisted when the solution file is saved."
2.
Solution2 Interface
It's about the solution interface.
As you can see although they may save something to your solution file, it is not intended for you to use it in your project.
What's your projec type and can you alter to use some common ways?
For example:
1. If it is in project level, set your value public so that all classes can access the value.
2. Or you can choose to create a xml/text file or any file that you can read by code, and then read the value out from that file.
It will be much better than thinking about set value in the solution file.
Best regards,
Barry

What are my options for opening EPS files in Elements 13? What is the best way to convert these to another type of vector file?

I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements... uh... mad old... to Elements 13 when my work computer got "upgraded" to Win8. Now I can't open EPS files which is how I receive collateral from our ad agency. What other vector files will work, and how can I convert EPS to these? Please be gentle if this is a stupid question - I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm not an expert at design by any means. I'm just frustrated because this isn't quite the "dead" file type that Adobe thinks it is. What was the point of upgrading if I'm pretty much left in the lurch?
Thanks to any and all who can help! Much appreciated . -ASI

What's important to understand is that Elements is a 'pixel' editor, not a 'vector' editor. As such, it has very limited 'vector' capacity (fonts, shapes...) What you are missing from older versions is the ability to convert vector items to standard pixel image file. To be able to open and work on eps files, you'd need Adobe Illustrator, which seems overkill for your purpose.
So, your options are:
- to request your ad agency to supply pdf format images instead of eps ones. My guess is that eps is beeing largely superseded by pdf, but I am not sure...
- Use external tools to convert from eps to jpeg; a Google search would return free softwares like Irfanview or web based conversion.
- You might want to keep (or reinstall) older Elements versions just for that purpose.

Install Files Determination for "SAP Learning Solution" from SolMan

Hi Experts,
is it possible to determine what installation files one should download from Market Place to install the "SAP Learning Solution"?
A colleague of mine should install the "Learning Solution", and he asked me how can we identify the needed files in SolMan, so we could download them and install.
I looked in DSWP, and all I could find was Maintenance Optimizer, but that functionality can just identify the needed files for maintaining of already installed systems.
I wasn't able to find any info on SAP Support Portal either.
Can anyone point me in right direction?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Nenad

Dear Nenad,
Have you checked http://service.sap.com/swdc

You should be able to find the files there.

While signing a .XML file a message "cannot read the file for signing" is displayed. What is the solution.

An official site incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in requires .XML files to be uploaded. When .XML files are uploaded without digital signatures there is no problem. When digital signatures are required for signing the same a message 'CANNOT READ THE FILE FOR SIGNING" is displaced. It happens with CHROME and IE also. The solution which I have devised is that I copy the .XML files in a folder called FAKEPATH in C: drive and pick the file for signing from this folder. The browser allows the file to sign with digital signatures. What is the solution.
