White double arrows; black double arrows

Hi gang,
When I use the white arrow Direct Selection tool; click within the frame on the graphic; then hover over the corner bounding box; then I begin to drag (most always with the Shift key held down); I am scaling the graphic.
What I am seeing is the double arrowheads keep changing from black to white and back again repeatedly as you scale.
What does the changing back and forth signify? Is it part of Smart Guides? What do you call it? At the moment, I am in CS4, btw.
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Alexandria, Virginia

Yes, that is my guess, too. It seems to trigger with the Smart Guides seeing alignments. I wonder, tho, what it is officially called? I couldn't see it in a quick perusal of the Help files.

  • Is there a way to start a VI using a boolean control in my front panel instead of clicking the White Right Arrow button?

    i'm trying to determine if there's a way to run a VI from the front panel without clicking the
    White Right Arrow button.
    All suggestions are welcome!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes.
    You set your VI to run when opened.  Then you put a Start button in a while loop with a small wait statement ahead of the real part of your code.  (You'll need a data dependency between that and you main code, either a wire or a flat sequence structure.)  That start button stops the while loop and allows the rest of the code to execute.
    Better solutions would call for an event structure and possibly a state machine architecture.

  • White selection arrow in cs4 selects everything

    Hi all.
    My white selection arrow keeps selecting the entire shape of an object instead of allowing me to select individual anchor points.  This is incredibley annoying!  I have to keep deselecting and going in close and fidgeting around until it finally acts like it's supposed to.
    One of many MANY glitches is cs4 that has disappointed me immensely. I would wish that Adobe would take into consideration the deplorable cs4 and allow all of us to upgrade to cs5 FREE!

    Hi everyone.
    As for fonts - I'd like to know how it's possible to pinpoint one that is causing conflicts in the system?  Does validating them in Fontbook do the job?
    b.
    They way to do this is first deactivate all fonts except the system fonts if you used a font manager. It would not likely be one of those.
    Then remove half the fonts from any font folder other than those used by the system and restart your computer and trash Ai's settings folder1. .
    1.Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    then launch AI and see if the problem goes away if it does then the culprit is in the group you removed now add half of those removed fonts back
    and see if the problem stays a way if not then the culprit is in the remaining bath and you put half of those back and so on and in about six such moves you will probably have fond the culprit. If the font culprit is in the first group you did not unload then you do the same thing there but by removing the halves.
    I think ou get the idea.
    Update: In your case I think just try first removing al the free fonts toss the preference settings folder and if the problem goes away never use the free fonts again.

    say: "Setting the background color in the Graphics2D context only
    affects the subsequent clearRect calls... " So adding a line to your
    if blocks we getif (false) {

  • My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

    HI
    this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

    If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

  • PDF shows background color as white. Prints black. HELP!

    I'm trying to print the screen the way I see it which is a white background with black font and an image, but it won't.
    I went under preferences and accesibility and replaced document colors to black text and white background.
    However, it still prints in it's Image with black background format.
    Help, I've never written on one of these and this is frustrating! Thanks much!

    Nice tip. Yeah the spreadsheet is definately much close to perfect with Bridge/your method. I'm able to change the background to black and get rid of the gaps completely. It looks like this at the moment: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8359/bridge1c.jpg
    There's just one problem. I can only save the file as PDF, when instead I'd like to save it as .jpg or .png, but I guess I could work around this and batch autoconvert all of those PDF spreadsheets into JPG or PNG format with Photoshop after I'm done making all of the spreadsheets.
    Thanks alot for the help!

  • Screen shows 2 white and 1 black column

    As I turn on a friends MacBook pro, I get 3 columns, 2 white and 1 black, and little squares in each column the opposite colour. That's all I get, the boot up sound and that screen.
    Does anyone know how to rectify this? I'm not sure what version of is he has. Could I back up his hard drives data?

    If you can connect the MBP to a monitor and it works, then it is the GPU that is faulty.  If there is no change, then probably the display or the display connection is faulty.
    You could probably get the data off by using Target Disk mode if you have access to another Mac:

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to design a "white" background in "black and white" ad on pink newsprint?

    Long-time Indesigner here, but I have never had this dilemma before. Am designing a "black and white" newpaper ad for a major paper that has a pink section, i.e. it prints on pink newsprint. So I know this is black ink only, hence the "black and white"...but when the "white of regular newsprint is pink, I am getting stumped. I see in their rate card ads with a white background and black ink on top of the pink newsprint, which is what I want to do. The ad has facial tones of a major recording artist, and I do not want the highlights of her face going pink. So how to I ad a "white" layer underneath this ad? Deadline is now, so please reply ASAP. I have inquiries into the paper but it is the weekend and nobody is getting back to me.

    Have they got a rate card: Check it! It may list a "white knockout advert" rate. I think:
    that to overprint adverts onto pink is limiting i think its a separation (unless they only want/cater for 1 colour (black) ads) unlike yellow pages where the the standard directory colours are blue, green, red and black (err... obv because of the yellow paper...) yellow pages also offer white knockout adverts (then yellow available) and CMYK adverts.
    So: you got to make sure that the advert is designed per spec: as you may know designing for newsprint is a lot more technical than gloss mags/sheet fed etc. You can always see in a newspaper who (designer) got it wrong.
    All the info should be on the rate card: just check the CI too: as white knockout may be a lot more expensive.
