Photoshop :: Can I Move CS3 Setups To CS4 When I...
Mar 16, 2009
if it's possible to move brushes and other setups I've done in CS3 to CS4 once I upgrade. I've tried several ways of searching to see if this has been asked before but I didn't find anything.
Is there a way to save and/or open Action setups separate from CFX setups?
Is there a simple way to export objects, axis, or lights to FBX files? Obviously, the FBX camera node can export a camera but it would be useful to export an axis as a locator, at the least.
I am trying to import a page setup into the active drawing; the code works fine but I get an error when trying to save the file: Error writing/closing file. I've attached the code. I need to run the code in batch mode. I've tried different ways of saving but I get the same error.
I've tried in a few different files now to import some sheet file (paper space) layouts from other files and it is just giving me a blank screen once I choose the file to import from. The paper space layouts aren't showing up to choose from, if that makes any sense. It has been awhile since I've had to do this, so admittedly could be doing something wrong, but I don't think so as I've searched but found none.
I'm right clicking on the paper space tab and choosing "Page setup manager" then "import", finding the file I want to import from and then the next box pops up with what is supposed to be the layouts to choose from but it's blank.
I have quite a few thousand of drawings that each has a different page setup saved in them. What I would like to do is to remove all of these pageset ups from these drawings, import a newly one, set it to current and then save the file for later printing. Maybe some lisp file that can accomplish this.
I have a copy machine that staples automatically but i dont want it to staple all the time. I made two page setups 1 called toshiba 11x17 and one called 11x17 stapled. However every time i go into the properties for them whatever i do to one effects the other. I just want one to be stapled one to not be stapled and everything else to be identical.
I converted a project to PR4 and opened it in PR4.
When trying to open the Connect FX editor, I get the following error on all connect FXs: "The Connect FX has lost its setup and can no longer rendered or edited."
Any Lisp routine available out there that will import a page setup in multiple drawings in one shot and save it to the group of drawings? Kind of the way you can import a page setup in a group of drawings in Publish, but that's only temporary for that particular print job. I'm looking for something that will permanently save it to the list of drawings.
how to create page setups for multiple printers in a network environment?
Here is the problem:
We have 2 offices with 3-7 printers per office and each printer with different capabilities (black and white, color, 11x17, wide format, etc.). I have CAD users who know little about setting up layouts so I want to create preconfigured layouts that they can import from a template via Design Center or other means.
I know I could set up a layout for each printer, page size, plot scale, and plot style table, but that gets to be so many layout permutations that it becomes overwhelming to manage and use. Up until now I had set up PC3 files for a few commonly used printers (wide format plotter, laser, pdf) and gave them generic names with the intent that I could simply direct the output to any printer by assigning it to one of the generic PC3 files. The problem I've encountered is that over time we've acquired new printers and old printers sometimes go offline or out of service and many of the printers have incompatible printable areas and page sizes to each other, so for example a page setup that calls for an 11x17 sheet for one printer does not have an equivalent size when a different printer is assigned to the layout.
Are we stuck with having to configure setups for each and every printer and permutation?

I found a function on JTBWorld named listPageSetups, which appears to be meant for listing the pagesetups that exist in an "open" dwg file (as I can get it work for the current dwg). So,
(1) Can this function be used to list page setups in another, un-opened dwg, and, if so, how?
(2) If the answer to (1) is No, is there a LISP way to get a list of page setups from another, un-opened dwg?
I have recently been using Sheet Set Managers (SSM) more recently and have found them quite handy but I am also finding some peculiarities with it too. I have no issues setting up a SSM and getting it to plot all my sheets either to our plotter or to PDF at full size (24x36), however when it comes to setting up a half size (11x17) page setup and overriding to it, is where problems occur.
What I want is a page setup that I can select that will plot 11x17 from 24x36. So, I first created a page setup that does this in our template (.dwt) and then set the page setup overrides file to our template file (under sheet set properties). Next I right-cliked on my sheet set and went to "Publish" and then "Publishing Using Page Setup Override", but the list it populated for me did not reflect all of the page setups we have in our template??? It listed two page steups _24x36 and _30x42 (see attachment). These page setups can be found in our template under page setup manager along with several others which don't show in the overrides (see attachment).
Is there a reason the other page setups aren't coming up in the SSM overrides menu?
Once upon a time in a job far, far away I had a lisp routine that deleted the current page setups and replaced them with new ones imported from a template drawing. It's probably been a good 6-7 years since I found it the first time.
We have, since moving to 2012 had an issue with our standard Named Page Setups in our DWT file staying assigned to the layout tabs. When you click up to plot a dwg... the Page Setup Name indicating that the Named Page Setup assigned to the plot configuration dialog box says <None>. Even if you click in the drop down and select a setup... the name selected shows as selected after the box colapses... but then a split second later, the box defaults back to <None>.
Is there a way to remove the *Model* page setup entry from the list of Page Setups in the Page Setup Manager? This is the first time I am seeing *Model* in the list, and I suspect that it the reason I am not able to generate a PDF for this particular drawing. When I try, I get the following error:
========================= Job: - Error(s) Did Not Plot
Job ID: 5 Sheet set name: Date and time started: 2/1/2012 10:34:53 AM Date and time completed: 2/1/2012 10:34:54 AM UserID: AchrisK Profile ID: Total sheets: 1 Sheets plotted: 0 Number of errors: 1 Number of warnings: 0
ERROR: Internal Error: Failed to get Plot Settings Dictionary. ==================================================
I have this idea that removing *Model* from the list will do it. In addition to causing PDF creation failure, I believe it is also responsible for forcing the Model to always be in the Publish list, even though I have unchecked the "Include model when adding sheets" option. I can remove it from that list manually, but it comes back every time.
I am using the trial version of CS5 (probably going to upgrade at the end of the trial), and I've only found one thing about it that I don't like more than CS3. This is VERY VERY annoying, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or just a preference that needs to be reset:
When using the move tool, I will move something and it will just snap back to where it originally was. When it snaps back, it might move a few pixels over in the direction I was dragging, but it is definitely not moving to where I want it to go. The only way to get things to move the way I want to is by Free Transform...but it's annoying, when you're trying to design a layout, to have to free transform every element you want to move, first.
I'm guessing that this is a glitch because sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't...it's pretty random. I've tried turning Snap on and off, and nothing changes.
So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.
some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.
I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.
What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!
If I have a dynamic block of a window. I can move either side of the block but the basepoint doesn't move. Is there a way to move the basepoint as well so its not off in space? or just delete it and have it now shown?
In the example below, I would like to select the three dimensions 14'-1 3/8's, 2', 28' and be able to move them all up or down at the same time...how do I do that?
Photoshop C3 was installed on a PC for a company user about a year ago. that user left and someone else took over the job function and the PC.Now the current user got a new PC and I need to move Photoshop to it.
Of course since the original install all paperwork is gone, don't know where the CD key is and when I try to install from the CD the shared components install ok but Photoshop components always fail. Also the deactivate option is grayed out.Any suggestions how to get the app from one PC to another?
I have the purchasing person for my company looking through old records.I also have an idea that the install files from our server may not need a CD key? It's been a year and I don't remember how it was install.
is there a way to move everything in every layer at once quickly without having to link everything together? im a noob at photoshop and i know this is probably very easy
I am trying to move my pictures in Photoshop starter edition 3.0 to my new computer. There are 6,000 pictures and I cannot find where they are. I also need a new version of Photoshop to import them into but do not know what is compatable.
I need to move my CS4 suite to my new Mac (from an older Mac) and I can't for the life of me figure out how I can do this without the original discs. I've tried simply moving the files over on a drive and then activating with my serial number, but apparently I'm missing some files from my old machine.
I can't find any downloads of old trial versions to use and the subsequently authorize with my serial number.
