What other things can the Note box in the Attributes panel be used for?

...if any? I'm aware that you can use it to record an action that selects certain objects. it just seems like it might be for other things too if only i could divine them from the ether.

It's just a text field you can associate with a selection. Notes can be applied at the Object, Group, or Layer levels. Use it for whatever information you want. For example, working on an exploded parts diagram, one might choose to name objects (in the Layers palette) by their functional names (relay valve, clutch basket, etc.) and key their part numbers into the Note field. Or working on a die-cut layout, one might target the diecut Layer and key instructions into the note field.
It's just another half-baked feature in Illustrator, half-heartedly duct-taped onto the program (like the poorly implemented Document Info grab-bag palette). A very lame version of object metadata features that other programs provide. For example, Canvas provides a tabular data feature in which you can store multiple columns of information about objects that have been illustrated.

  • Aperture 3 quits every time. What other things can I try?

    I had a very similar problem with Aperture 2, but now it is all wrong with Aperture 3 as well!
    Firstly, I updated my Snow Leopard today to 10.6.2, then installed Aperture 3 and converted the library (I have the Aperture 2 library backed up). All seemed well, but when the library was converted and Aperture started up for the first time it quit unexpectedly.
    So then I updated to 3.0.1 and restarted my iMac. Now when I open Aperture 3 it quits after about 15 secs. Just enough time to disable faces, which didn't help.
    So updates, restart: what else can I try?
    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

    Try this.
    Go into your Home folder in the finder, go into "Library/Caches" and move everything inside that folder to the trash.
    Reboot your machine and see if the problem has gone away.

  • Can the same button be used for different things

    hi, i want to be able to change what area the player goes to when they press the journey button. but the code i made can only display one message, and that is, "you journey on..."
    i want to be able , for each button press, to move the player forward to a new area, is that possible? here is the code so far.
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.Button;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    public class Buttondemo extends Applet implements ActionListener{
    String msg = "";
    String zone = "forest";
    String message = "Current zone is" + zone;
    Button attack,run, inventory, search, journey ;
    public void init(){
    attack = new Button("attack");
    run = new Button("run");
    inventory = new Button("inventory");
    search = new Button("search");
    journey = new Button("journey");
    add(attack);
    add(run);
    add(inventory);
    add(search);
    add(journey);
    attack.addActionListener(this);
    run.addActionListener(this);
    inventory.addActionListener(this);
    search.addActionListener(this);
    journey.addActionListener(this);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
    String str = ae.getActionCommand();
    if(str.equals("attack")){
    msg = "You attack!";
    else if(str.equals("run")){
    msg = "You run!";
    else if(str.equals("inventory")){
    msg = "Here is your inventory";
    else if(str.equals("search")){
         msg = "You start searching...";
    else 
         msg = "You journey on...";
    repaint();
    public void paint(Graphics g){
    g.drawString(msg, 6, 100);

    Ofcourse its possible. Maybe you wanna consider using an specific actionlistener for the journey button instead of using the common actionlistener.
    Like this:
    journey.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
              //Move forward...
    });

  • HT1491 Can the iTunes money be used for game purchases

    I have been having an issue with the gift card from iTunes. I purchased a iTunes 15$ gift card today and I was hoping to use it for a game I have that allows me to buy things in it but every time I try it tells me there has been a error. What am I doing wrong.

    maybe nothing. I'd give itunes support a call/mail and see what they say
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Is the gift card from the same country you're in? For example, i don't think I can use a canadian iTUnes card on an account in the US.
    It's also possible that the gift card wasn't properly activated.
    Hopefully they can look that up for you

  • Can the Time Capsule be used for scanner sharing?

    I have successfully replaced my Linksys router with the Time Capsule and also hooked it to my USB HP 2200 all-in-1 printer. Works great except I can't get my wireless iMac or MacBook to see the HP all-in-1 as a scanner. The "network" printing works great via the TC.
    Has anyone successfully integrated with a USB scanner yet?

    I have this exact same problem, but only with a different printer/scanner (I even switched from a Linksys router). My printer is the Epson RX595, and as you stated, I can also print wirelessly to it from both my MacBook Pro and PC (connected wirelessly and via ethernet to the TC respectively). Now everywhere I've read is pretty much pointing to the "USB scanning not fully supported with TC", but I was wondering if Apple or Epson would have a solution for this in the future as I bought my printer not too long ago and don't want to have to upgrade just yet. I really want to keep it connected to my TC, since my PC doesn't have to stay on to act as a print server (previous setup).

  • Can the iphone 6 be used for winter activities?

    Will it handle low temperatures and humidity (perspiration when in a pocket inside the outer wind/water proof shell jacket)? My iPhone 4s has often turned off during my cross country skiing (1-2 hours). Putting it in a sealed plastic bag seems to help, but that is so old fashioned when it comes to mobile phones (and fingerprint scanners will not work). Will the iPhone 6 be any more suited for winter sports use, or is it still made for warm and dry weather / indoor only?

    Yes u can turn off touch ID in the settings  and use a passcode if u want to

  • Can the same name be used for both an iCal calendar and reminder list?

    In iCal, I have a Reminder list named "Home".  I have been trying to also give a Calendar the name "Home", but iCal does not seem to want me to do this. When I try to use the name Home for a Calendar, it changes it to the name "Home C" (a name that I gave it when I couldn't get it to let me use "Home").  Is this a restriction within iCal?  I have iCal synched with iCloud, which in turns syncs with an app called 2Do on my iPhone.  I am not sure if that may be part of the problem. 

    Yes, it can

  • Can the Apogee Jam be used for vocals?

    HI,
    I am looking at the Apogee Jam for a simple interface for my guitar... I would like to record some vocals and have an XLR ro 1/4" adapter.  Does anyone know if I could plug this into the Apgogee Interface?
    I would like to assume the answert is yes, but I am wondering if would cause issues as the Jam was intended for guitar and bass.
    Regards...

    Could this work, sure the Jam just takes a analog signal and turns it into a digital signal.
    Will it work, all depends on the mic you use.. I'm guessing with most microphones the signal will be very week and may not give you good results.
    You should get a interface that is designed for both instrument and mic. And if you get a two channel interface you could record both guitar and vocal to their own track at the same time.

  • HT4623 I still can't update, i get error 3252 every time, after over 500mb is downloaded, not happy to waste all the data i could use for other things

    is there another way i can download the update? it just never work, tried multiple time

    The most common causes are:
    Your antivirus, firewall or router security is blocking access to Apple's servers - try temporarily disabling them - if you have Kaspersky this is definitely the problem
    At some time in the past you used this computer to jailbreak, unlock or otherwise hack ANY iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad - if this applies to you your hosts file is corrupt and you will have to edit it and remove any lines that contain "gs.apple.com"

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.
