Warping a group of objects without deformation

I have a group of objects which i want to warp in a certain shape without the objects themselves being deformed.
These objects are squares and circles which are standing on a grid, only the grid needs to be warped, the objects need to stay in the same shape.
Is there a tool in illustrator with which I can achieve this effect?
many thanks in advance,
Frederik

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
I tried them all but unfortunately it isn't exactly watch I am looking for.
To make my exact question even more clear i made a new visual which explains my problem even better .
I would like to warp the visual underneath number A, it consists out of squares and circles.
When warping I would like the squares to deform, but the circles should stay in the same shape. (like in the visual underneath number B)
Unfortunately, when warping the circles deform into ovals. (as you can see in visual C)
Is there a way in which I can do this without having the circles to be added later on?
many thanks in advance,
Frederik

  • Resizing multiple objects without grouping them

    In AppleWorks Draw one could just band or shift select a group of objects and resize them.

    No, you have to group first.

  • Group and Ungroup without moving all data to one layer?

    Good morning!  When I group multiple features (usually for alignment purposes), ungrouping them then tosses all items onto one layer.  This is quite frustrating; anyone know a workaround? 

    My coworkers and I realized this workflow is a hang-over from FreeHand.  FH took issue with moving multiple objects, but did so happily if said objects were grouped.  Ungrouping then released to the original layers.  AI moves multiple objects without complaint!  Thanks again!

  • Can you expand an enveloped object without expanding paths?

    Is there a way to expand an enveloped object without expanding the paths of the object? For example, if I use Envelope Distort>Make With Mesh to distort a group of objects. Can I expand the object after it has been distorted without having to expand the paths of the individual objects that make up the disorted group?

    I've attached some very simple example images to, hopefully, further clarify. The first image is a circle with a thick stroke applied. The second is the circle with distortion applied via a simple mesh. The third is the expanded distorted image. In the third image, the stroke has also been expanded to a filled shape.   The grouped objects that I'm dealing with were created with a Wacom tablet using a 6D brush, and I want to be able to expand the envelope without expanding the strokes into filled objects. While it's certainly possible to just delete the expanding strokes and then reapply the brush to each object, I have some illustrations that I'd like to distort that are made up of a considerable number of objects, so manually going through and deleting the filled expanded strokes and then reapply the brush to each shape would be somewhat time-consuming.

  • Win 2K8 R2 - Group Policy Management - Failed to Open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. The network path was not found.

    New to Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration.
    I setup this Windows 2008 R2 Server on a Dell 2950 Poweredge server and have been migrating users off of an old NT style domain running on Samba 3.6 on CentOS.
    I have the domain setup (nicholas.sacredheartsaratoga.org), added users, and have moved users / computers over to the new domain and working.
    When attempting to setup Group Policy Objects, I continually get the "Failed to Open Group Policy Object" Error.  This is driving me nuts and seems to be a 49 error.. which I have done a ton of research on but none of the suggested fixes seem
    to be working.

  • How to apply Software Restriction policy for specific user in local group policy object ?

    I am working on implementing user based software restriction policy programmatically for local group policy object.
    If i create a policy through Domain Controller,i do have option for software restriction policy in user configuration but in local group policy editor i don't have option for that.
    When i look for the changes made by policy applied from Domain Controller in registry, they modifies registry values for specific users on path HKEY_USERS\(SID of User)\Softwares\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\Codeidentifiers
    They also have registry.pol stored in SYSvol folder in Domain Controller. When i make the same changes in registry to block any other application, application is getting blocked.
    I achieved what i wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?  
    PS:- I am using Igrouppolicyobject API

    I achieved what I wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
    You also can modify a registry programmatically based policy. Check this:

  • Is there a way to show/hide a group of objects that will work in html5?

    I consider myself to have a fairly decent understanding of captivate and its functions but this recent issue has stumped me.
    I have a button with javascript attached to it that runs a typical if loop: (pseudo code to follow)
    if(variable = 1){
    show "group" and variable = 0; 
    } else{
    hide "group" and variable = 1; 
    Now normally, I would do this with single images, etc, and it would work fine.  You click the button (the image being unticked where it says "visible in output") and the image shows itself, then you click the button, and it hides.  Very standard stuff.
    My issue, is that captivate seems to let you name a group you make....but they have not given you any control of that group.
    Problem:
    I want a way to show and hide a group of objects by only clicking one button (when published to html5).
    I want to only have to reference the group and dont want to need to write a separate line of code for every single component that makes up that group (assuming the solution has to be coded).
    Is it even possible to control groups like this within captivate?
    Thanks!

    There is an adobe video that I think shows how to do exactly what you are asking.
    This is the video link:
    Lightbox-style Menu in Adobe Captivate 6 - YouTube
    At about 10min 50sec, it goes over creating a group from a number of single elements.
    At about 12min 30sec, it shows creating an action that turns the whole group on and another to turn the group off.
    When I did this myself, I used just one action that toggled the group on or off, but they show it as two actions. The idea is the same.
    I hope that helps. Apologies if I mis-understood the issue.

  • Is it possible to group 2 objects that are located on 2 different pages in InDesign CS4 JS

    Is it possible to group 2 objects that are located on 2 different pages. Would it be something like that:
            var myArray = new Array;
            //Add the items to the array.
            myArray.push(myLine1);
            myArray.push(myLine2);
            //Group the items.
            var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
            myGroup = myPage.groups.add(myArray);
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Yulia

    You can group objects from distinct pages only if they belong to the same spread.
    For instance, if you have a rectangle on page 2 and a rectangle on page 3 in a "facing pages" configuration, this should work:
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var r2 = doc.pages[1].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 2
    var r3 = doc.pages[2].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 3
    // it's better here to handle the parent spread:
    var g = doc.spreads[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
    // but this may also work:
    // var g = doc.pages[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
    // var g = doc.pages[2].groups.add([r2,r3]);

    I am looking at an issue with users not getting specific group policies. 
    After searching a number of client computers I found that the following error
    The user '*' preference item in the 'User - 6th Form Students Policy {E03166E7-A848-48B5-AA93-97B848AA9C13}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.' This error was suppressed.
    I can find the folder in the Sysvol folder on all of the domain controllers. 
    The issue with end users seems to be that the proxy settings for internet explorer is not being applied. 
    Potential problems?
    one folder in sysvol entry is empty

    Hi all 
    In administering this policy I am a little confused. 
    We have a policy that distributes proxy settings in the internet explorer maintenance settings section - however when opening this policy up in GPO editor the internet explorer maintenance section is not present.
    I plan to apply the settings via User/preferences/control panel settings/ internet settings (or registry settings from article) however I am unable to edit the settings for internet explorer maintenance and these will persist. Ideas????

  • Group Policy Object "The Network Path Was Not Found"

    I should also mention even when I go to click on the currently created policies I get the same error as well, but I seem to be able to at least get into their settings if I wanted too.

    Here is the my background of my network.Try to retire a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller (DC) and upgrading to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller. Currently both server are running as Domain Controllers on the same subnet.An issue I found today was when I went to go create a new group policy object I got an error stating "The Network Path was Not Found." This happens on both the 2003 and 2012 server, so it not just related to one machine. I have done some reading on this and it seems that some people who have a similar error have an issue browsing to their SYSVOL folder for the domain. However I have no issue browsing to that.I have also looked through the even viewer and there doesn't seem to be specific errors related to this. It seems to me like it may be some type of DNS issue, but I am looking for some insight into...

  • Grouping Anchored Objects

    I have an anchored graphic image (using Object, Anchored Object, Insert) and need to add a text box under the graphic and a rectangle frame with a stroke on top of the image to highlight a portion of the image.
    What I would love to do is anchor the graphic image and then group the text box and graphic rectangle to the anchored graphic and have all move together. NO LUCK, I guess you cannot select and group multiple objects if one of them is an anchored object.
    The work arounds are
    1) Anchor EACH of the three objects which works fine but takes a long time.
    2) Group the objects and paste them "inline"
    3) Group the objects and manually move them when your text moves.
    Is there any way to group, attach or link objects to an anchored object so all of them move with the anchored object?
    Have InDesign 3 and 2 (same results)

    Right clicking on the anchored graphic and using the "Paste Into" option to paste the three grouped objects worked wonderfully. Thank you so much.

  • Anchor Object without Modifying Text

    Short:
    Is there a way to place objects and attach their location to a particular numbered paragraph, without using anchored objects, i.e., is it possible ot make an anchored object without a inserting an anchor into the text?
    Long:
    I am currently assembling a document where the text is placed from a Microsoft Word document and figures will be placed from a variety of sources (.pdf exports of TeX equations, .ai figures, etc.).
    I have explored anchored objects to some extent, and they provide all the functionality I need, with one exception.
    I would very much like to be able to insert figures into my indesign project and be able to update my text in Microsoft Word without losing the insertion points. As it is now, when I update my linked Word file, the anchors are removed from the text.
    One approach I considered was to complete the majority of the text in Word, then place the text into InDesign, break the link, add my anchors, and complete revisions in InDesign. Unfortunately, this approach will not work, as I am using a reference manager in the text, and reordering/adding/removing references would become exceedingly tedious in a document with dozens of references and nearly 100 citations to those references.
    Thanks so much for your help in advance!

    Short: No.  Longer:  Perhaps you should just put the objects on the page, or pasteboard, for now, and do the anchoring when editing is done.
