3ds Max :: How To Lock Envelopes To Mesh
Oct 3, 2012
I don't do a lot with bones or skin but I have a nice little rig of an orthodontic band. It's essentially 4 torus objects. Imagine 4 torus objects in a straight line barely touching. The band gets snapped over braces from tooth to tooth.
I have bones assigned to the torus objects so that when I pull a bone, the whole object will stretch like a rubber band and then I and stretch the rings from tooth to tooth.
All is well with that. However, once I use a bone to move/stretch the objects, the envelopes don't move with the object. They stay behind and everything begins to distort. How do you lock the envelopes to the mesh?

Did the ability to add multiple envelopes to a single part not make it to 2014? In the demo video from Autodesk it shows you can do that but I don't see that button in 2014?

I created a rig in MAX 32bit but recently loaded 64 bit MAX but now when I choose the skin modifier/edit envelopes, I cannot choose bones to edit. The interface just flashes and I am not able to select verts on the mesh. I had originally used the weight tool to change the weights of each vert on the mesh, now it doesn't work at all.

I have an assembly that has somewhere a hole with a round bar that exactly fits in this hole. But when meshing the assembly, the mesh of the hole and the mesh of the bar are different.
The result is that the different parts do only seem to touch each other at the edges of the mesh, resulting in high stresses.
See picture.
I tried to made a derived part from the assembly, but that one does not finish meshing. After 48 hours, the progress bar is still half way. While the one above did finish in about 15 minutes. What can I do to make the meshes match?

I thought they were supposed to appear when the Polygon shelf is selected? I don't see them. In fact, when I select different shelves the menu items on the right half of the task bar don't change at all. Is this normal?

I keep needing to Flatten everything in my 2-D drawing (actually, since ExpressTools isn't installed, I have to manually change the Elevation to 0),
but it seems there has to be a way to get AutoCAD to "lock" a DWG into 2-D, or Z=0? My lines keep accidentally getting Z-values and it's really annoying...

do you keep your caps lock on and use the crosshairs when working in adobe apps?
or do you use the standard icon?

I am using Photoshop a lot for more simple tasks, like re-sizing pictures.
Lately I have run into a problem: when I have opened a file and choose the Image/Image Size from the toolbar, Photoshop sort of locks up and will not let me make any modifications to the file. I can escape the lock by pressing the [Esc] button, but I am not allowed to do any re-sizing.
At first I thought this had something to do with the layer being locked, but even when renaming or copying the layer, and unlocking, the same lock-up happens when I try to re-sieze the new layer!
This is a recent problem, didn't use to happen, so I may inadvertently have changed some kind of setting in Photoshop. But a search in Help or this forum has not come up with any solution.

I am having a problem with Autocad12 I am using at a friends office: we both can open, edit, and save the same drawing. This is a real problem as you can imagine. We are running Windows 7 and are using DROPBOX for file storage. DWL are being created but for some reason they are not being used. On the otherhand if I try to open a file I created I do actually get locked out - just not from the other computer.
Just did a test - when I log in directly to the hard drive instead of the network it locks me out if I attempt to load it. If I login through DROPBOX it does not.
how I can have autocad recognize the lock files in DROPBOX folders?

So I have a viewport, viewing exactly what i want it to in model space but it's not where i want it in paper space. When i move the viewport entity in paper space it's changing my view in model space. How do I lock what the viewport is seeing?
I've tried locking, that doesn't seem to do it. I've tried yelling at it and that's not working. I'd try beating it with a stick but I don't know if the computer could handle it.

how to lock in a dialogue box . I have tried to lock in the tools dialogue box to the panel on the side of the window, but everytime I select it it disappears. Sometimes it goes behind the panel. In the help screen it says you can drag a dialogue box over a "Blue" line and it will anchor it there. I cant see any blue line? There is some text that say "you can drag a dialogue box to this panel", but when you drag it, it does not stay there.

I am in 2D mode in autocad, drawing a plan. I have locked one layer and also increased the translucency, jet my snaps still respond to the objects in this layer, where all I want to do is keep it as an underlay while I draw the rest of the things. The objects within this locked layer are also selectable, they come up with doted lines once selected, but I can't edit or move them, because the layer is is locked.
Is there a way to lock the layer, so that it is completely ignored by snaps and selection, jet kept visible with little transparency?
I am using AutoCad 2013, and there are only blocks within this layer.

I have a big artboard with a simulation of a webpage, and a smaller artboard within it, where I'm designing the artwork, so that I know how the big picture will look. In the end, I intend to export the contents of the small artboard. The problem is that whenever I click by accident on the small artboard, my view of the web page gets off-centre.So in short, If I could just lock the small artboard, that would solve this annoyance. For now, I have two options: either delete the artboard and set it back in the end (it's got to be perfeclty positioned though) or, quite practically, just create a custom view with a shortcut that I can use instead of the "Actual size" one (Cmd+1).

For Illustrator cc on a mac. Is it possible to lock everything in 1 windows so the Artboard never goes behind my panels? The same way it is in Photoshop.

In CS6 when I increase/decrease size of my brush using alt+right-click on pen tablet, sometimes I also unintentionally change brush opacity by couple percentage (obviously my hand won't move perfectly horizontally every time I want to do it). It kills flow during work of course and I have to stick to CS5 for now unfortunately.I have only found option for turning off hardness change in preferences.

I am using the application frame in CS6 in a MAC environment (OSX 10.7). The interface tends to move around on the monitor getting lodged up under the OS menu bar.
Is there a way to lock the interface on the monitor like it its done on a Windows 7 OS?

I am a CorelDraw rookie with a deadline and I am stuck. The problem is this: I have a lot of texts and at times there are objects that should come within the text. So I put it there nicely but when I delete or add something in the text, the object does not follow the text so it all gets in a mess. Is there any way to lock an object to a certain point in the text, so when the text changes the object follows? Does it
make sense?

I have 102 layout tabs and many more to come on this project. Each layout tab is a different scale (I know, awesome, right?). Is there a quick way to lock/unlock the viewport? I'm ctrl+dragging to create new layouts and it's simply annoying to click the little lock button to change the scale. (**** first world problems.)
Tried messing with the hotkeys but I can't even get F1 to disappear with LT like I can with full version.

I'm trying to update a xref path of a autocad document without open it. I've tried something like this to access the database of a document
using (Database db = new Database(true, false))
{
db.ReadDwgFile(fullpath, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite, false, "");
// rest of the code ....
}
In order to do that the readdwgfile the document must be locked right? Because i'm going to modify blocks of the document. So how can I lock a document without open it?

Is there anyway to lock the direction of polylines? I have several drawings with diversion ditches. I use the linetype to show the direction of flow but antime I have to change ltscale or linetype, it reverses the direction. This can be an easily overlooked situation and a time consuming one to correct.

I am running a photoshop action to apply displace to an image.
Half way through it saves itself, then reverts back to it's original state and saves again. (This is to get the displacment map out of the same file)
What I want is this:
The file will be locked so no-one can mess with it, then I want an Applescript action (or whatever) to launch and unlock it, then when the Photoshop actions finish for another one to Lock it again so when a designer comes to save the file, he is forces to Save As. This will stop the original from being overwritten!

I went to lock a Layer (the whole layer) and could not - I had to Lock the item IN the Layer (one item: and the Layer still did show as Locked).I have a screen shot; but, it's been a bit & I don't see how-to attach it.Plus, shouldn't I have been able to Lock the Layer & the item in it? Is this a Bug?
