What unit of measurement does "pt" represent? inches? cm? mm?

i am trying to resize an image in keynote to a fixed dimension but is unsure on what measurements "pt" actually means. how do i resize the image in mm?

It's a font measure meaning "point." There are 72 points to an inch.
No its not, in the context of Keynote point is an Apple created formula related to pixels. Why they have used that instead of pixels is unknown.
how do i resize the image in mm?
In Keynote; Keynote > Preferences > in the Rulers Units drop down menu select; Centimetres
There is no millimetre option.

How to correct CIF error Base unit of measure does not exist?

Dear experts,
I'm trying to cif a location product with base unit of measure KG in R/3 and alternative unit of measure well maintained.
it gives me a CIF queue saying that
"Base unit of measure ZXX does not exist (Product 0000000000000XXXXXX has not been created)"
I do not understand why, the unit ZXX does not exist in the alternative unit of measure for any of the materials managed
I also checked CUNI table and ZXX is not there neither in R/3 or APO,
Thanks for your help
E

Looks like the Alternate UOM --Zxx is not maintained in APO.
2 ways to do this:
(1) program- RSIMPCUST
Re transfer all your UOM settings from R3 to APO
(2) Manual Maintenance in APO:
SPRO>SAP NETWEAVER>GENERAL SETTIGNS>Check UNits of Measurement

Marketing Attributes - Unit of Measure

In the creation of marketing attributes, how can we provide "two" input fields with two different units of measure for ONE Marketing Attribute, so that if a user inputs a value for the attribute, in one unit of measure, the value for the second input field, which is a different unit of measure for the same attribute is automatically calculated
Example.
Marketing Attribute: Shoe Size
Shoe Size Value Field (U of M): Inches
Shoe Size Value Field (U of M): Centimeters
If the user maintains a value for the attrbute in the Inches Field, it should automatically convert to Centimeters and Vice Versa.
Thanks!!!

This can be achieved through config.
When creating a marketing attribute, create an attribute called Unit of Measure. Then assign the "check table" for the correct value tables and it will provide you with the options for unit of measure.
Example:
First Attribute: Shoe Size
Second Attribute: Unit of Measure in CM or Inches

Extrude Depth Unit of Measurement: Can you change it?

When using the Bevel and Extrude function in Illustrator, can the unit of measurement be changed to inches instead of points?
Doesnt appear to be possible.

You can type "in" after the number and AI will convert inches to points.

I live in the UK : How do i change the default unit of measurement from inches to metric?

Terence
Thanks for your answer to my question. I have tried what you suggested and 'metric' was already set as the default so unfortunately, it has not solved my problem which is when I set the dimensions for the print size before printing, I have to change from 'inches' to 'cms' for each photo every time. I was hoping that I would be able to set 'cms' as the default.
Hope you can help me.

Cost/revenue rate E_MOE_DEC, 00000000: unit of measure PDA does not exist

Dear community,
I am still working on SAP PPM FICO & CATS integration.
I can't replicate my cost/revenue rate in the ECC system.
There is the error message : Cost/revenue rate (name of the cost/revenue rate) : unit of measure PDA does not exist
Does someone know what PDA is ?
I customized the units with FTE.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best,
Cassoké

Hi Cassoke,
Through analysis found that you need to define 'Units of Measurement' PDA which is linked to the capacity unit 'FTE'.
Just check whether you have the PDA unit of measurement in tcode-CUNI or under SPRO-->PPM-->Portfolio Management-->Global Customizing-->Global Settings-->Define Units of Measurement.
Select dimensions 'Time' and click on 'Units of Measurement' and if no PDA entry is there, create an entry(Attached screenshot for your reference).
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Inches as unit of measure causes leading problems

In Freehand MX 11.0.2 for Windows (using winxp sp2), I cannot
select inches as my unit of measurement without causing serious
leading issues. If I set type at 10 point with 12 point leading,
the program will convert the leading to 12 inches, making it like
864 points. When using millimeters, it does a similar problem, but
make it 34 mms, or 34 points. Really frustrating. Anyone else have
an issue like this? I've reinstalled several times, and
redownloaded, but to no avail. Also, nothing like this on the known
issues on Macromedia.com. HELP!!!

So it happens with inches too.
Kevin (adplus91) asked the same question with the title
"Leading measurements changing".
My reply was:
Only solution is to use Points as measurement units. I've
made keyboard shortcuts for changing between
millimeters and points. Changing units, however, reset grid
value to 6 points or 5mm.
This is a bug Macromedia probably made when they fixed a
conversion bug in Objects palette. Also Macromedia
claimed that this is WinXP only problem but it happens in Win
2000 as well.

System is not converting unit of measure ment while doing cost estimation.

Hi All,
System is not converting unit of measure ment while doing cost estimation.
Now i am explaining system setting. based on this kindly help me.
Our Base Unit of Measure Measuremnt in Material Master is M2 (meter square) and We have maintained Unit conversion in Master as 1 PC is <=>2.5 M2.
We are running costing for 1 M2.
Producion we are doing in Peaces (PC) . and i maintained Std Value for for Machin and Labour for PC only. and we maintained charge quantity in phases also.
While running cost estimation system is not converting std value of machin & labour into M2.instead it is showing full machin and labour time and value.
System showing PC value for M2 Cost estimate.
Can any one let me know where i am missing.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sahil

Hi,
as per your explanation: 1 PC (piece) = 2,5 sqm (m2), standard values for "labour / machine" maintained per PC.
I guess within T-code CUNI, the unit PC does not allow any decimal places (means there can be only 1 piece, 2 pieces, 2 pieces but not 1 and a half pieces, 2,63 pieces,...)
Now if you are running plan cost estimate for quantity 1 sqm (m2) SAP picks the "labour / machine" values for 1 PC (and not for 1 / 2,5 = 0,4 pieces) as decimal places for unit pieces are not allowed so its up-rounding.
Run cost estimate for 10 sqm (m2) which should be 4 PC and the result should be fine.
Best regards, Christian

What does "this" represent ?

Hello NGs,
I found this applet in one of the tutorials:
"import java.awt.Point;
class NamedPoint extends Point {
String name;
NamedPoint(int x, int y, String name) {
super(x,y);
this.name=name;
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
NamedPoint np = new NamedPoint(5,5,"SmallPoint");
System.out.println("x is "+np.x);
System.out.println("y is "+np.y);
System.out.println("Name is "+np.name);
Now, this works fine. But I was trying to understand how the "this."instruction in line 6 works.
If I try replacing it by "NamedPoint.name" or "NamedPoint(x,y,name).name" or anything I could think of, I get an error message from the compiler saying that he cannot find the variable.
The question ist: what EXACTELY does "this" represent in this case ? By what could I replace it to achieve the same result ?
Thanks.

In this case u need this to tell the compiler what you are talking about, cause you've got a field name in the class-definition and an parameter name in the constructor. so usually it's enough if u write:
name=...; But as we have a name conflict here, you have to qualify the field name with this. In general this is the "self-reference" and super is the "reference to the super-class". You can't write NamedPoint.name here cause name isn't a static field. you could make it static though, by replacing the name declaration with this: static String name;

T006-Decan change after users have used the TO unit of measure

Currently in our system for TO (tonnes) it has T006-Andec as 3 and T006-Decan as 0 and it issues the users a warning message "Order quantity violates rounding rule" if they type in decimals in the purchase order quantity. We have been asked to change T006-Decan to a 3 and do away with the warning message. What happens if you change T006-Decan from 0 to 3 after users have already used the unit of measure (TO) in the R/3 SAP_APPL 470 system on materials, purchase orders, sales documents, receipts, etc...? I don't want to impact our users in production since I do not where this unit of measure has been used. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi
If you are changing the decimal places in T006 - DECAN , the number which was 1000 would show as 1,000... so previously it was 1000 tonnes now it will show as 1 tonne.... such things happen....Check with SAP before doing changes to the Standard UOM's...
I am not able to find the correct SAP note for this.... but its there hope you get it
Thanks & Regards

AffineTransform - Is there a way to glean units of measurement for pixels?

Assuming I get a pointer to a java.awt.geom.AffineTransform from:
java.awt.geom.AffineTransform CurTransform = ((java.awt.Graphics2D)this.getMainFrame().getGraphics()).getDeviceConfiguration().getDefaultTransform();
Assuming I've gotten the right AffineTransform... How do I get, or can I get, the scaling factor between horizontal pixels and vertical pixels for the current screen (or whatever device). In other words I want to place components... buttons, textboxes, etc. in a dialog box so that they are "square". i.e. 10 units in x look on the screen equal to 10 units in y.
Once I know what the "square pixel scale factor" is I can then worry about making the units relative to whatever font size.
This question is usually posed as "How do I get dialog units?". I haven't done that because of the "legacy problems" associated with what most people think dialog units come from. It is true that way back when dialog units were derived from a textmetrics ONLY, but unless I'm mistaken, Charles Petzold, was describing something that could only be gotten that way at that time (circa 1990).... The width of the fixed system font by the height of the fixed system font ended up being as close to a unit that was 8 units high looked like 8 units wide in the screen. The object of the exercise is to most importantly get units of measurement that translate to pixels and look "square" on the screen. Secondarily, but not unimportant, is to be a unit that has some relevance to the current font size. It's been a long time dialog units in windows maybe a 2:1 ratio. I made my own cDialogUnits so long ago I can't remember what the "standard windows" dialog unit is. In windows I can very easily get the screen dpi x and y, I think it's a devicecontext but Java's "devicecontext" only gives one dimension of the dpi?
Also this query is mute if I was "painting" on a device. The units are for pixels NOT points and are (mostly) for placing controls on the screen. I am aware of and have used the various addPreferredGap and setAutoCreateContainerGaps available in a GroupLayout... Great gizmos but, still dialog units would be very handy for setting the prefered width of a textbox/label with too much text. (Note: dialog units are NOT for calculating the height of text... )
I did search the sun forums for an answer first... It might be here I just didn't find it. It seems to be a question either avoided like the plague or considered a dumb question in Java.

This might be OK?
BE AWARE!! This is NOT a painting gizmo. It is used in conjunction with the Layout gizmos. It drives me crazy that the Layout gizmos have "default" gaps and spacers of some kind and yet ALL the tutorials immediately and unabashedly trash any "device independence" by mixing in pixel measurements... Not to mention I don't like the size of the gaps and spacing provided with the Layout gizmos anyway.
Does anyone know if this will fail? I am aware of the caveats provided... "Information about the device is only as good as has been provided." However if there is bad information in the device info I doubt using these units will do anything much different that the end user experiences with the errant device anyway.
AGAIN... This is NOT a painting gizmo. It's a helper when Laying out controls usually in conjunction with a Layout and only for spaces and gaps.

Material master-additonal unit of measurement

HI, I have three questions
a) we have the follwoing data defined in material master (additonal data)
X UOM Y UOM EAN
1 LITRES 1 LITRES NIL
1 IGB (inner packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
1 GBE (packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
I need to know what is EAN no and in our case the EAN no is same for both inner packg and pack. . what does this mean. Sometimes we also see the EAN no is different. why... what it signifies ?
2) We have outbound idoc trigerred from delivery. message type is WHSOD. in one of the segments (E1EDL24), the system shows the delivery qty and material no. This segment also shows the EAN NO AS 345922222222. In segment E1EDL26, the filed UMVKZ shows as 1 which is ok (numerator as shown above) but the numerator field shows 1 only (it does not show 20 litres,, i think the field name is UB something ).
I need to know why the system is not showing 20 litres in numerator in the filed for segment E1EDL26.
3) Had we have two different EAN in material master as above, did our standard message type would have shown the conversion factors (numerator and denomi ) as per the EAN nos.....If yes, then in which segments ,the WHSORD shows the Conversion factors based on different EAN nos in material master-UOM tab (for instance if 1 GBE (packg) = 30 LITRES and EAN IS 345911111111.... I think there will be as many segments in idoc as there are entries in Additonal data-UOM tab )

Hi Jurgen,
I think you did not understand. My questions is as follows.
a) why we maintain alternative UOM in material mastr (additional data) ? an example ould be good.
b) We have in our system base unit of masuement as litres and sales unit as blank. that means system will take sales unit of measurementt as litres only.
now we make sales order and make delivery and a outbound whsord idoc is sent to third party warehouse. the third party warehouse undertsands only IGB(pack ) unit of measure wherase our idoc i think will carry LT (litres ) as UOM...
we do maintain the conversion factor between litres and IGB in our material master (additional data tab).That is our idoc shud carry conevrsion factor as maintained in ur material maste ( 20litres =1 igb ). so our idoc shud carry .05 as conversion factor
so that our third party warehouse understands that and dispatch 1 IGB of qty (2 litres as per our delivery )
