3ds Max :: Working On Files - Snapping From Pivots Instead Of Vertices
Jun 7, 2011
After some time while working on a file (any file, happened multiple times), max starts snapping from pivots instead of vertices(or whatever else I might want). Only vertex snaps are on, everything else is off. I have axis constraints on, but when I try to drag something, they turn off while I'm dragging and the pivot snap turns on, when I release the object, the axis constraints turn back on. And the vertex snap tick is nowhere to be seen. The only solution I found so far is to save the file, quit max, and start again (resetting max does not work).
I have a phenom x6, 8gb ram, SSD hard drive, Geforce GTX 465 1gb, running max design 2012 with hotfix.

I'm having a problem with Maya's vertex/point snapping function. This is a simple thing to do normally but in the 2014 student version (which is full functionality other than having a prompt saying it is a student version upon saving the file), it isn't working.
Basically the process is making a selection of vertices and with the transform tool active, MMB dragging the manipulator to snap the selection to a destination vertex. The pivot point/manipulator of the selection is moving and snapping to the destination vertex on it's own when I hold 'V' and MMB drag, rather than the whole selection moving with the transform manipulator and snapping to the destination vertex. This problem is also happening with the modelling toolkit which is really annoying. I have checked that i'm not in edit pivot mode etc.
The point snapping is working however for objects, but not in component mode as above.
I am running Windows 7, Maya SP2.

I have an editable poly that's a 1D circle (not created from circle tool, detached from another), but when I try to apply the shell modifier, it does not extrude "straight" - instead it's skewed.
The affect pivots only are set like this, so it's not going in the direction of the pivot either..
How do I change the direction of the shell?

How do I prevent files/photos from "snapping" together when I have multipul items open in photoshop CS6 at the same time and drag one close to another one. I work with a very messy screen and I like it that way. I HATE it when the 'snap' together.

Resetting the User Setting with the the F8 key didn't solve the problem. Once the user gets caught up on a couple projects I'll try to update the version to SP3 and the hotfix.

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 Version 10 (20110831.m.17215) and everytime I plug in a memory card to upload images it wants to upload every image on the card, even though it has previously uploaded images from that card, even though I have the "Copy New Files Only (Ignore Already Imported Files)" box ticked in the preferences Camera or Card Reader section. This gets very frustrating and time consuming when I have to go through the images every single time to uncheck the images that have already been uploaded.

I downloaded the RAW update here. I have CS 2 and when I try to open a .CR2 image file, I get this dialog.
I don't think this is the dialog box I'm supposed to get. What did I do wrong? I have a mac OS, and I put the raw plugin in library > Application Support > Adobe > Plugins > CS2 > File Formats. did I put it in the right place?

I am working on a project where I am taking scans of the two pieces of a broken weld and trying to put them back together and I'm wondering if there is any program that can do this?
Some more information, I welded two pieces of metal together and then broke the weld. I then scanned the two pieces. Now I am trying to recreate a water tight model of the two welds together. The file format currently is .stl

I am running Premiere Pro CC on a Mac running Mavericks. When I try to open a previous version project in CC that has avi or .dv files, I get the following error:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using original preset, quit the aplicationwithout saving the project, re-install and third party components that are required and re-open the project."
Once the project opens, the avi and .dv files are listed as 'offline'.Am I missing codecs or is this related to something else? I have a few projects with avi files so would be great to find out what's going on!

If I put an outer stroke around an image, the guides won't snap to the edges of the stroke. Instead, the guides will snap to the edge of the image. How can I get the guides to snap to the edges of the stroke?

I have these small thumbnails on large white BG I need to crop out the white.
But when I crop, Ps does not snap to the edge of the thumbnails borders even though I have PS set to snap to layers and documents bounds.

I have this problem since I bought my SSD into my MacBook Pro. It happens both with Photoshop CS5 and CS6.
My hard disk configuration is a little bit weird. I have an SSD and an HDD (in the opti bay). The (OS X 10.7 Lion) system itself is on the SSD, and the user directories (/Users/gk/) are symlinked from the HDD because the SSD does not have enough space. There is one exception: the /Users/gk/Library folder is not on the SSD, but on the HDD to preserve the speed, so it's a double symlink.
I am not able to save images at all, it pretends to to it, but in fact the save operation reaches only the point, where the image is saved in ~/Library/ Caches/TemporaryItems (which is on the SSD), but then it is not moved to it's save location.

I started with V6. Currently using trial of X4. Got a Canon T2i for Christmas....mostly for HD video. Never have worked with HD video before so not real familiar with file extensions etc. However I do know that HD video is a different animal altogether…..Very large files and some program issues.
Took some test video in 1080p… about 30 seconds. Files are in MOV format. Drop the file in program and hit play on the preview pane. Very choppy and stuttering. Make sure smart proxy is enabled and it is. I then save the file as a 1080p AVCHD. Now…. that file plays just fine in the preview pane. Another thing I tried was converting the MOV file into an AVI with a free program called Pazera Free MOV to AVI. That conversion with an AVI extension also had the choppy issue. Should I convert the files first from MOV to AVCHD or is there another HD format that is better?

Recently I discovered that the swf flash animation files were no longer linked. After re-installing the flashplayer off the VS disk they are working again. I decided I should check out all the rest of the files and found 5 VS image files that are not working. They show up in the pull down menu, but the preview is only a white screen. I found them on the computer files and copied then into VS, but still only a white preview. I can see them using Windows Live Photo Gallery just fine so they are in the computer, but VS just won't open them correctly.

I could really use some help. I have to work on a vergy large photo (a 2x2.5 metters print, in 300 dpi). Someone told me that I should work on a small version of the file, and then copy and paste the history from the small to the big file
The thing is: how do send the modifications from one file to another?

I'm working as a cartographer at Port of Rotterdam and frequently work with big maps in Illustrator CS5. As soon as the file size exceeds 150 MB, and especially when small rasterfiles (mostly jpg's) are placed inside the document, either embedded or not-embedded, me and my colleague get notifications indicating "Can't show preview"or worse: The operation can't be concluded due to lack of RAM (dutch translation). This being a last warningsign just before CS5 collapses and it thus becomes impossible to make any Save on the document....

How do I snap (objects or, especially, guidelines) to the outer edge of an outline? The guideline always snaps to the edge of the object, if the outline is behind, or within the outline if it's in front of the object.
I usually employ workarounds such as converting the outline to an object but that's not always convenient.

When adding a guide in CS2, it would usefully snap to the centre of the current layer. Sadly, cannot make this happen in CS3 except for text layers.

I'm making a model of a building over a AutoCAD plan and I’m having problems with snapping and aligning. After I import polylines from AutoCAD, the accuracy becomes a problem, I can’t align or snap anything accurately (as seen on the attached picture). It keeps snapping in midd-air and not in the endpoint/midpoint, align doesn’t work either (the boxes in the picture are all aligned, x-max and y-min). I should mention that the same (similar) problem accrues in AutoCAD and after purging and repairing the dwg and starting over in max, it got better, but is still there.

I created this script to snap a three-bone IK chain to a three-bone FK chain. It works by first creating a line between the first and last bones in the IK chain, then it positions two point helpers (call them pointA and pointB) on the pivots of the second bone in the IK and FK chain.
Using the nearestPathParam function we can find a value (between 0 and 1) such that pointA and pointB lie on the normal plane to the straight line and then use the pathInterp function to translate the parameter into a position vector which we can use to position another helper (call it pointC) to then calculate the angle between (pointA - pointC) and (pointB - pointC). Sometimes the angle is calculated incorrectly, which is why I put an if-statement in towards the end to deal with this case; simply put a negative sign infront of the swivel angle.
(
local arrayIK = #($Bone_IK01, $Bone_IK02, $Bone_IK03),
arrayFK = #($Bone_FK01, $Bone_FK02, $Bone_FK03),
IKGoal = $'IK Chain001'
function snapIKFK IKarray FKarray =
(
IKGoal.transform.controller.swivelAngle = 0
[code].....
I'm not a good scripter, so the script looks a little clunky. I'm also having the problem that the script doesn't work when I try to activate it through a button press, it says "--Type error: Call needs function or class, got:
ButtonControl:snapIKFK".

It seems there is no way to stop illustrator (CS5) from snapping to the edge of the artboard. Even if you hide the artboard, it still snaps to the invisible artboard.
is it possible that the brilliant folks at adobe missed this one and there is no way to disable this snapping to the artboard?

I'm having an issue with CS6 where my objects don't want to snap together. I have snap to point checked but it still won't work. Also when I hover over point or intersections it doesn't say "intersections" or "center" or etc beside my mouse.

I have a fully current version of Photoshop (ICloud). When attempting to open some jpeg files and pdf files, they remain ghosted and will not open. I think it may have to do with the settings in the 'open' window but i don't know what to do. ?????

sometimes when working with photos on removable drives in ACR and then later in PS I forget to first write the raw files onto its final destination.I understand why this happens to me. One isn't sure whether the raw-file is at all worth it and then finally everything is done and one now better should make sure that PS finds its stuff when editing the psd anew. At least given one brings in raws as as smart object from ACR....
My question is: Is there maybe a "pack and go"-script around which allows gathering all project-files, best on open projects at once ?The script looked for the raw, and the sidecar with settings.Then the script simply asked for a common storage-location, together with the psd.

I am having an issue as follows.
a) I have postscript (.ps) files for my company's logo which are in process color (CMYK).
b) These files open fine in PSP, and the colors are displayed properly. However, I understand that the files were actually converted to sRGB space, that is, I can't actually make changes in CMYK space, only in sRGB.
c) I need to make some changes to the logo, so I figured I would make the changes, then save a TIF file, using the CMYK space. My printer requires a CMYK file only.
d) Therefore, I simply saved the file opened in b) as a TIF file with a CMYK color space.
d) When I do the Save As in PSP, the file looks exactly like it did when first opened in PSP. (Update - if I close the TIF file in PSP, then reopen it, it does look different - greenish tinge, but not as bad as other viewers) But when I look at the file in other programs (IrfanView, MS Publisher, etc) the image is overly green, for example, my olive green logo components are almost bright green, and almost everything else seems to have a slightly greenish tint.
e) By comparison, if I open the postscript file in Irfanview, it renders correctly.
I thought Irfanview would input CMYK files (and apparently it does for .ps files) but my colors are wrong. Is this a TIF output issue with PSP? Or do I need to find another viewer to properly see the TIF file.

I did some filming today, using my Canon 5D MK II, converted the MOV files to AVI using NEOscene, then ran them through smart proxy in Videostudio PRO X3. When I started editing, I noticed some files were causing the project to freeze and stutter on playback. On closer examination I noticed that about 10 of the 40 or so files had not had smart proxy files created, and that all of these were above 1GB in size. Is this a glitch, or is it just something Videostudio can't do for files that large?
