I can't grab more than one object at once. I'm also not seeing the bounding boxes around the objects. I must've pressed something that disabled me from being able to grab multiple objects.
View 4 RepliesUsing CS6. In the artboard window, I select an artboard tool icon next to an artboard. The artboard displays selected, with the usual grab handles at corners and the middle of sides that in Adobe-world always signal that an object can be resized. I am unable, however, to select the grab handles. When I try to do so, "beep."
An Artboard Options panel has also opened. i can resize the artboard by changing the Width and Height, but I have to guess what I want. If I close this panel, the grab handles go away.
How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere are 3 elements there. the top of the clap board was placed before i started tryinbg to create the slanted dashes that are on the average clapboards. The white dash was skewed using Object > Transform > Shear. Then i attempted to rotate it to fit.
I need 4 of these skwed white squares / trapezoids on the top along with 4 to match on the top of the larger potion of the clapboard. I do not want to eye it as it will be a part of a logo.
What would be the best method to use?Is there a way to draw the 4 rectangles on top of a perfectly horizontal long black rectangle and skew the white dashes at the same time?Is there a way to skew based on the dimensions of the longer black rectangle?
I have a background with a pattern overlay effect on it. I need to send my web developer a block of this pattern in jpg format so that he can translate it into a repeating pattern in the background of the site.
It seems that there must be an easy way to do this that I'm not getting. All I can think to do is to select a part of it on the screen and copy, but since it's already set up as a seamless pattern, I don't know where its "edges" are.
for the last few months out of no where photoshop all of a sudden stoped letting me grab the corners of my selections. it realy limits what i can do an d i would really love to kno how to fix it,
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a plugin that will allow me to capture a single frame into Photoshop from a video feed from a device using WDM or VFW (Video For Windows) drivers. I have a video device that is using WDM or VFW drivers, but no TWAIN or WIA driver is available for my device.
I need to be able to capture a frame into Photoshop from my video-input device which is using a WDM or VFW driver. I'm hoping if one does exist, it is compatible with Photoshop CS1, because I'm using that older version of Photoshop, and don't plan on upgrading yet (it seems to do almost anything I'd ever need a graphics program to do). I'm not even sure such an input plugin exists, but if it does

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen you purchase a template for a website, it often comes with the original photoshop document.
Is there a command in photoshop that takes what they've done and saves it all as the individual images that are usually included?
I have a template and I swapped out one image in the file, but I can't get it perfect by simply replacing the final image. I have the photoshop file with all the slices and whatever people do with templates, but I can't seem how to get it to save all the separate images again so I can grab the one that I need.
Working on a book cover but it seems that once something is down and saved - like my title - I can't just go back and tweak it with resizing and moving. How to simply rearrange the layout?
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow can you adjust the "Grab Viewport" -Animation Quality for Nitrous?
Rendering any one of the styles in Animation produces horrific quality, because the viewport renderer does not spend the few extra seconds necessary to generate nice antialiased image-quality.
there is no way to adjust the rendertime. Because this would make this valuable improvement 50% useless again, if you can not use it decently for this purpose.
I downloaded a grab bar family that I thought looked very good. But then I tried to place it on the toilet stall portion (I also downloaded stall partition families). When I tried to place the grab bar, it wouldn't place -- I believe because the grab bar is WALL BASED.
So now the question is how do I go about placing a grab bar (or anything else) that is not wall based so that I can use it with the stall portion? I had tried to use face based but couldn't get that too work.
I'm trying to grab a logo off a white blackground. How would I go about doing this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am unable to adjust my Viewport sizes in anyway, (wont allow me to grab handles to adjust size & or move entire view port) after they are changed to the defposits layer, I cant change them back to any other layer because when I try to highlight them, it says "0 objects found". Wont even let me delete them, I don't think they are locked, as I am the creator of this drawing and have done no such thing.
View 6 Replies View Relatedthere is a brush or something similar that allows you to grab a part of a picture and kinda drag it around. not cut and move it, actually distort it and such.
there is also maybe the same one that allows you just to click and sort of inflate/deflate part of the pic.
i KNOW one of you out there has to know what im talking about!!! it kinda stretches the part of the image so that you can make things look distorted or whatever. almost like if you grabbed your cheeks and pulled!
fix to the common errors caused by previous grab brushes surface proximity behavior along center axis. it was a small thing IMO but the solution created evena bigger issue.
now that is works mostly on some sort of volume proximity along x axis it becomes a big problem for moving around two discontinuous surfaces that are close to center axis.
that last version it was good was 2011. 2012 and onwards it seems to be ruined.
In cfx, i have a source clip which i want to grab just 1 frame of it. So what is the best way to do it in term of efficiency ?
If i'm in timeline editing outside cfx then i can use alt-E and drag the clip to have a 1 frame copy. It's cool but how to do the same thing inside cfx ? i want to do it inside cfx schematic. Actually I can use a timewarp node or mux or maybe there's some other node that can do the same function. But is it gonna affect the speed of the whole tree ?
i'm comparing the two scenarios :
1. i did 1 frame grab in the editing then bring it into cfx
2. i bring the full source clip inside cfx and apply timewarp to get 1 frame to work with.
Is there gonna be different in speed ? if only single clip , i won't see any different. What i want to know : what is happening internally ? does the second scenario will eat up more processing ? If yes, then we need to feature to extract 1 frame inside cfx (just like in editing).
As an addition, in media bin, when i'm in editing module (outside cfx) , i can ctrl-E (cursor change to red icon) to grab 1 frame . But when i go to cfx then it won't work. ctrl-E in media bin won't do anything. It will be great to have that feature in cfx.
It goes f.e. like this:
I draw a line (no constrains) and I can move it by grabing an end or whole line by click&hold mouse button, great.
But after couple minutes of work with part and sketches I can't grab anything. Even on new created sketches and new lines. Click and drag just open rectangle selection. Oh, between these phases there is a phase when 2nd click&hold works...
When I open/create another part it is normall, but this one I must close and open again.
I'm drawing a small map, and in several places there is text rotated so as to fit next to a slanted line. The problem comes when I decide to move the text, usually along a line parallel to itself, or perhaps in some other direction.
As far as I can tell, the only way to select the text is with the lasso tool, which can be very difficult, because of the close tolerances. Maybe the easiest way is simply to erase the text and re-create it. So, is there some way to rotate the selection box, so I can grab the slanted text easily?
I have a drawing (c3d 2013) provided by a subcontractor that contains high density laser scan data in the form of Acad solids. I have a bunch of conventional QC shots on the same objects, that I would like to compare to the scan data.
I can bring the QC shots into the scan drawing as cogo points, but when I try to measure the distance to the face of the solid, I can't get the perpendicular 3d osnap to grab the solid.
Add keyboard shortcuts (or at least the option to define them) for all the layer commands. When I say, "all the layer commands", I mean a keyboard shortcut to do anything you can do with the mouse in the Layers window.
Specifically:
Move Layer Up / Down,
Toggle Layer Visibility,
Select Next / Previous Layer (or some set of commands to navigate layers.)
Select Next / Previous Visible Layer could be nice too.
This thread from 2006 asked for similar features, but no thread necromancy.
Implement these shortcuts. Having to grab the mouse to do simple layer operations feels awkward and breaks my flow.
CS 5.5. Just restarted Photoshop and still the same problem. I should be able to hold down the space bar and grab the screen to drag it around. Not working anymore.

I've been able to in the past use the eyedropper tool to grab colors from browser windows and get the exact coded color if it's a css color. I'm using Photoshop cs5 on a mac with snow leopard. When I try to get any color from a browser window (both safari and firefox) photoshop will shift the color slightly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to assign a "grab" command to the button on the Wacom Intous 4 pen?
At the moment in Painter 12 and Artrage, if I hold down the button closest to the tip on the pen, then press the pen to the pad and drag, it will grab the canvas and allow me to move it around the screen. I cannot figure out how to set this up in Corel Draw X5
btw, its specifically Draw, not Photo Paint that I want to set this up in
Not sure as to why this is happening, but like the title says anytime I use move or grab a grip point my osmode automatically changes itself to settings that I do not want. I can change my osnap settings while in the command to set them back to what I had originally had but this is very tedious and I have not experienced this with previous versions of acad.
From all my searching, the only thing I can come up with is; it is a setting within the acad1014doc.lsp but I am not sure.
I go to grab an axis and move it, and the cursor is offset. See the movie.cursor_offset.mov
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was able to find/update a LISP program that returns the dynamic block to its original state, overriding the anonymous name and make the actual block name the effective name. I am in the process of manipulating the LISP program so I can select multiple blocks rather than one at a time.

I have this lisp that grabs all the text(the value and the location) in my drawings and I put them into a list. Here is what I have so far:
(defun c:loop ()
(setq numbers (ssget "_X" (list (cons 0 "TEXT") (cons 1 "##*")) ))
(setq newlist '())
(setq IN 0);set index
(setq SLGTH (sslength numbers))
[code].......
What i need to happen is this: When "whatever" returns "value0" i need to set "value0" to the first item in list "newlist". Then when "whatever" returns "value1" i need to set "value1" to the second item. Now I can do it the long hand way, but i am trying to simplify this step, and shorten up my overall program.
We use electircal elements in AutoCAD dwgs that have labels to indicate the status of the element by phase. For instance on a floor plan we might have elctrical outlets that are existing (E), new (N), demo (D), etc. How does one do this efficietnly in REVIT? Is there a way to assign a paramter to grab the phase of the object and then adjust a label accordingly? This would be ideal because over time the element s might move from one phase to another such as from new to existing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are having an odd behavior in Illustrator CS4 in our office. Multiple users try to deselect objects by clicking in blank space, but the last object still appears as if it is selected onscreen. When they select another object (without holding SHIFT), it looks as if the old object AND the new object are selected...but when they delete or otherwise manipulate the newly selected object, it only affects that particular object and does not alter the old object that appeared to also be selected. Although the actual functionality is correct, it is extremely distracting and annoying because it looks like they have more objects selected than they actually do...and they can never really tell what's what!
For one user, this happens frequently when selecting objects with clipping masks. For another, it happens when simply using the selection tool on any old object. All users on Mac Leopard 10.5.5. Aside from resetting preferences which I've had one of the users do.
I keep getting this Error Message when i try and move something i have pasted into CS5.1."Can't Move the objects. The Command was Canceled" . It isn't locked. It's the only thing on the layer ( the layer isn't locked nor the image ).
