Hello, I am not sure where else I can ask this question. I have seen a few great answers on these forums related to axonometric projection … I thought I'd take a shot in the dark and see if I can get help related to oblique projection rules. For some context, I have been scouring the web to learn the rules of axonometric and oblique projections. I have had a lot of success learning the basic "rules" of axonometric. For example, I thought this was a good guide: Question: What are the rules of oblique cavalier and military projection? Based on what I have found on the web (which was not much in comparison to axonometric) here's what I have come up with: Can anyone tell me if the above "rules" are correct for oblique projection? My end goal is to create art in Illustrator using oblique projections, but before I do this, I really want to make sure I fully understand the basic concepts/rules of the projection I'll be using (cavalier left/right and military, as seen above). I would love some help!

Is it just me, or does Add Selected/Used Colors not like CMYK with all the color values at 100%? For example, create a new CMYK doc. Delete all of the colors. Create a stroke with a CMYK 100% (all colors) black. Next, from the swatches palette, try adding selected colors. In my Illustrator, 21.0.2, the black does not get added. When I try to drag the color from the foreground/background to swatches, I get a "can't do that" beeb and the color does not add. Of course, I know that a full 100% rich black is crazy talk, but I thought this was strange and was wondering if bug or feature?

Hi! Laubender wrote what is your exact OSX version? Sorry that I did not provide that info: OS X 10.12.3 Interestingly, I just tested Indesign on my work Mac (same specs as my laptop) and it worked! Though, the biggest difference between my work Mac and Laptop Mac (the one that does not work) is that my laptop has two presets already there. Both Indesign versions are 12.0.0.81 Admin user for both machines.

Hello, Me: Indesign CC 2017, Mac OS X For some strange reason, I can't seem to name/re-name a document preset. In the "Edit Document Preset" dialog window, I type in a new name in the "Document Preset:" field and hit "OK". No matter what I do, it just says "Document Preset 1". Just curious if anyone has experienced this as well?

mickyhulse wrote I wish I had created my template with intent of web from the start. I'm looking to see if there's a way to change that now. So, that was easy. I just had to switch the intent under Document Setup. Interestingly, I had to dow this twice, back and forth, in order for the default black swatch to change to RGB. I also turned off preview as that affected my layout as the page size changed during the transition. By having preview off, I was able to match my page size from inches to pixels upon the conversion and I was able to avoid any changes in the positioning of my page elements. Thanks again!

Here's a single page, with caption at bottom and only a few words (I had to set the Auto-Size to ignore line breaks for this to auto shrink and center/align to bottom of page): And here's what I would like to see when/if the caption grows (keep in mind, the image and caption are inserted via data merge): Basically, it would be awesome to have a "max width" option for the auto-size feature of Indesign, because the align/anchor options are totally useful to avoiding overset text in a data merge situation: Thanks so much for your help (Obi and Steve)!

You can ask in the InDesign Scripting forum: InDesign Scripting If you don't do scripting, there may be pre-existing scripts available, or you could pay someone to develop a script. Good suggestion! I actually do a bit of Illustrator scripting (when I have the need/spare time), so I don't mind tackling this in code. Just was hoping to find a ready-made solution. Thanks for tip though, I really appreciate it!

Hello, My setup: I am using a text frame auto-size for a photo caption. The photos and captions are created via a data merge. The caption is anchored to the bottom of the page so it grows vertically upwards depending on length of caption text. Some captions are a few words long, while other captions are multiple lines long. The caption text frame, currently, is set to a defined width; when the caption text meets that width, it wraps, and the text frame grows upwards. My desired goal: I would like to have a text frame that grows, width-wise, with the first line of the caption; if/when the caption text is long enough to wrap, I would like the text box to stop growing and allow for the text to wrap. Essentially, I would like all of the features I have specified from above, but I would like the text frame to shrink-wrap the text until it meets a specified maximum width, and then have it grow vertically from bottom (with text wrap, depending on text length). My questions: From what I can tell, I don't think what I want is possible without some sort of manual intervention. I would like to avoid doing manual work as there are many pages. With that said, am I overlooking a feature? If this functionality is not "built in", can anyone recommend a plugin or script that could help me accomplish this goal? Thanks so much for reading my question.

Hi Tpk1982, thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate the help. tpk1982 wrote: Is it you using only one paragraph style? Yep, just one paragraph style so far. The bold parts are grep styles and I have the baseline grid setup. With that said, it looks like vinny38's suggestion will work pretty good! Seems like I won't be able to avoid doing a find/replace unless I head the tagged text route? Thankfully find/replace is quick, and I can save the searches to make it even easier, so I think that's going to work well for my workflow. Thanks again to both of you for the help! I'll be back soon to report my findings.

What is the best way to handle placed text that looks like: Page: 1 Title: This is the title Date: 2016 Artist: John Doe Credit: John Doe Source: https://site.com/ http://site.com/x Page: 2 Title: This is the title Date: 2016 Artist: John Doe Credit: John Doe Source: https://site.com/ http://site.com/x Page: 3 Title: This is the title Date: 2016 Artist: John Doe Credit: John Doe Source: https://site.com/ http://site.com/x I am placing this text into a 3-column layout master frame, so the text spans all columns and multiple pages. I am trying to avoid spacing issues by using "space after" (or "before"). Unfortunately, when placed, I get this: I would like my text to look like this (after being placed): In the screen shot directly above, in order to get the related text bits to group together, I had to manually insert a "Forced Line Break" (Shift + Return) between the lines of related text. Note that my paragraph style, for both screenshots above, uses space after to control paragraph spacing: Question(s): Is it possible for me to place the above text and have it look like the last screen shot as seen above? If so, how? From what I can tell, other than using a tagged text file (which I would like to avoid), I'll have to do some find/replace regex work on the placed text in order to get the results I want? Any tips would be appreciated.

I probably should have worded my question better … I posted that question out of frustration when I wasn't making any progress getting the results I wanted. I've had some time to sleep on things, and I am ready to tackle this problem again. [Jongware] wrote: If you are using a font which shows missing glyphs, then this only means that those specific characters are not provided in that font. So either choose another font for your entire text which does contain the correct characters (e.g., if you see a few of your Hebrew characters but not all), or alternatively, apply a suitable font to just those characters (e.g., when you are missing one for which the used font is less important, such as a mathematical glyph in the middle of 'regular' text). To locate all missing glyphs, best is to set up a Preflight profile. I've used one for years, which only checks missing fonts and glyphs. When enabled, the Preflight panel lists all of them and you can them each one by one, or use Find & Replace to change them in bulk. Oooh, thanks for tips! I just did a quick test, and it looks like Arial works for the Hebrew characters. I was using Google's Noto font, which covers many languages in one font, but unfortunately it doesn't have Hebrew. Google Noto Fonts Anyway, I will try your suggestions and will let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

I guess my next question is: Is there a quick way to find and remove missing glyphs?

Hello, I am trying to place text that contains hebrew text, for example: בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. In Indesign, the text shows as square boxes with Xs in them (i.e., missing glyphs). The text file I am placing from is UTF8, and I have chosen UTF8 when using the place options menu. Is there any way for me to get text to place, even if it contains a foreign character? I am dealing with test that can contain any language … Just curious of the best way to handle this?
