I just got ACAD LT 2012 and am trying to set it up for a two screen displayI'd like to put all the icons and command line on one screen and use the second screen exclusively for the paper/model space.
How do I achieve this?
I've been using CTB files to manage line colors, thicknesses etc - assigning a specific color number to a line color / thickness etc.
This results in great looking plots, but aren't the colors that appear on-screen.
I was wondering how can I make it look exactly like what you'll get but retain the automation/functionality of CTB files - rather than manually stuffing around with changing line weights/colors etc.
I'm trying to provide the user with some alternative vies of the drawing from within my application.
I picked up this code from an earlier post and have modified it to what I thought should work, but is has no effect on my screen display even after I exit from the form.
Private Sub ComboBoxView_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBoxView.SelectedIndexChanged Dim myDwg As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database = myDwg.Database Dim myTransMan As DatabaseServices.TransactionManager = myDwg.TransactionManager Try myTransMan.QueueForGraphicsFlush() ' Have tried with and without this line Using myTrans As Transaction = myTransMan.StartTransaction Dim vpr As ViewportTableRecord = DirectCast(myTrans.GetObject(myDB.CurrentViewportTableRecordId, OpenMode.ForWrite), ViewportTableRecord) If vpr IsNot Nothing Then Select Case Me.ComboBoxView.Text Case "Plan" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.TopView) Case "Front elevation" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.FrontView) Case "Side elevation" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.LeftView) Case "SW isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, -1, -1) Case "NW isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(-1, 1, 1) Case "SE isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, -1, 1) Case "NE isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, 1, -1) End Select End If myDwg.Editor.UpdateScreen() ' Have tried with this line inside and outside the 'Using' section myTransMan.QueueForGraphicsFlush() ' Have tried with and without this line myTrans.Commit() End Using Catch ex As SystemException MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try End Sub
I note that I have probably misguessed the direction vectors, but I can handle that by experiment once I get the screen updating.
I have used this attribute often in the past, but cannot recall how. The circles on my current drawing display a number of facets (flat surfaces) which can be overcome by redrawing of regenerating.
There is however an attribute which one adjust to resolve this.
Normally when a layer is locked, you hover your cursor over the locked layer on screen you will be able to see a small [Lock Pad]

Is there a way to "disable" the display of the viewport "outline" so that it is not seen when looking at the paper space tab on a computer screen? Kind of like how images have frames but you can "hide" them.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNew machine, nice and fast, but there is a quirk in the display with in Photoshop. When I click on a layer to move it about, the display within the Photoshop window flickers. Sometimes, when I click on a layer, the whole image, inside the Photoshop window, goes black. By clicking on the another layer, in the layer panel, the image will reappear.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe bottom of the window goes off screen so i cannot resize it by clicking and dragging the lower right corner. Also in Navigator I can see that I should be seeing more image as indicated by the red outline. I have tried resetting Essentials, tried opening Photoshop while pressing Option / Alt shift, and nothing seems to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI photograph a bright red car in raw mode on a digital slr (Canon 20D) set to Adobe rgb 1998 and view it in Breeze Browser and it looks just as I remember it. I open it into Pshop CS5 extended (which is set to Adobe rgb1998, Europe ISO Coated Fogra27, (as I am UK and this is what a calibration company set our works proofer to) gray gamma 2.2 dot gain 20% and its become a little desaturated.
Sampling it and comparing screens and colours with Breeze Browser its definitely less red, a bit more orange red instead. I need to up saturation to return the red, both in RAW converter and also after image opened if not done so beforehand in RAW converter. Colors just look muted.
What tests can I carry out to find out what is going on ?
Perhaps create a rgb 255 0 0 image in a way not influenced by photoshop and photo the monitor, then open this in photoshop and sample it. However that would be influenced by the exposure of the camera. Maybe I need to create a Kodak grey card type image and establish correct exposure for the monitor brightness first. so what would that be as rgb ?
I know though that Pshop is displaying duller. Once upon a time we had Adobe gamma and one would go through the calibration wizard to set up Photoshop having already set up the monitor.
What do we have to do after installing CS5 extended or CS4 to ensure Pshops display is correct ?
I have Adobe gamma in the control panel, Is this something we still have to do in CS5, I wonder if its there because I still have Pshop 7 installed which used that wizard.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI noticed a "focus" problem using dual screen. When i activate the "Loupe" (1:1 mode) view on the 2nd screen, and i browse my pictures in the developp module (using the film strip and arrows on keyboard for example). The view on the 2nd screen is not displayed as sharp as it should be.
If i touch the detail slider (change the value and make it back to its previous value) the picture is update correctly (sharp) . Do not happen when i use the loupe in "one screen mode".
While using Photoshop CS4 Extended version 11.0.1, whenever I change Screen Modes, it causes the color of all photos to display improperly. The pictures become very dull and gray. Even the whitest whites (255/255/255) appear to be a dull gray, as if a black layer set to 30% opacity is placed in front of the picture. The color still displays properly in the thumbnails of the Layers Panel.
Every picture I have open is affected in this way. Closing the pictures and reopening them does not help. Any new pictures I open are also affected. Changing back to the original screen mode does not fix the problem. The only thing that fixes the problem is closing Photoshop altogether, and then restarting it.
It doesnt matter how I change Screen Modes, whether I change it from the Screen Menu, the Applications Bar, or cycle through the modes using the F key. Even hitting the Tab key to hide the panels causes this to happen. Being a long-time Photoshop user, I have long been in the habit of cycling through screen modes frequently, so suggesting I not cycle through Screen Modes isnt an option because itll take months to break me of the habit.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I calculate the size that text in Adobe Elements 6 will display on my monitor? I have set this visually so that it is approximately 0.2" on an image height of 6.6".
My OS is Windows7 Professional and my screen resolution is 1280x1024 pixels.I have cropped the image to 7x5 and resized it to 5290x3770 pixels (w,h). I have set the resolution to 571 pixels per inch. Placing the text at 17.3 pt gave me the 0.2" height I wanted on the 'Fit Screen' zoom.
The Display Option shown in the Control Panel is 'smaller' which I understand means approximately 96 dpi. I have read that points to pixels is calculated by: Pixels = Points * System DPI/72 giving 1.33 points per pixel. Thus the 17.3 pt text should be about 13 pixels high.
Thirteen pixels is 0.34% of the 3770 pixel high display which implies a text height of about 0.02" on the 6.6" high displayed image. Instead I am seeing a text height of about 0.2" (as required).
I wish to report a bug that has been present in x4 and x5 regardless of SP or updates installed. Due to this bug I use X3 as it was the last version that worked for me.
The bug is that several menu buttons on the Edit screen will not display correctly, it is as if the icon is corrupted. This happens with the free trial version as well as with a registered version with updates installed.
See the attached screen shot as it explains this much better.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm designing some screens for an retina display iPad and I just want the illustrator document on my 27" thunderbold monitor (at 109 ppi) to have the same physical dimensions as the physical iPad screen (7.75" x 5.81"). Maybe its so obvious that no one talks about how to do it. I do feel a little embarassed that I haven't figured this out.
Regardless of whenther I enter the doucment dimensions in inches or in pixels the resulting document is never the same pysicial size as the iPad's screen. And since Illustrator deals in vectors it doesn't have any notion of PPI that I can use to bring inches and pixels into alignement so that what I see on my monitor is the same physical size as what's in the iPad.
All i want is the AI document displayed on my monitor to be the exact same size as my iPad's screen.

If I move the page to a different location in the document the master displays but if it is in the specific position that it needs to be it will not display. The document has multiple Masters and others do work on the page but the one that I need will not. I've tried deleting the page and adding a new one and that does not fix the problem. I've checked and "Hide Master Items" is not checked. The page in question is in position 48 with F-Master applied. If I move it to position 49 it works, 50, it works, 51, or any other it works. If I apply a different master to the page, it works. If I delete the page, add a new page and apply F-Master it still does not work. The only page that this problem is happening on is page 48.
