Logging into and out of the Version Cue Administration utility
When you install Version Cue on your computer, Version Cue automatically creates a default user login ID with administrator privileges. You should change the password for this default user login, as it is publicly available for initial installation and setup. Until you change the default password, the default user login ID can only be used directly from the computer the Version Cue workspace is located on, not across a network. If the Administration utility is installed on your computer, you can start using the web-based Version Cue Administration utility with the
Version Cue default login ID (
system
) and password (
system
).
Users working in a group with a login ID and password can log into the Version Cue Administration utility. The tasks that workgroup users can perform are limited by the privileges assigned to their Version Cue login ID by the admin istrator. However, users whose access level is set to None can’t log into the Version Cue Administration utility.
You can display the Version Cue Administration login web page in the following ways:
•
By opening the Version Cue preferences and clicking the Advanced Administration button.
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS2
User Guide

•
By clicking the Advanced Administration button in GoLive CS2, Illustrator CS2, InCopy CS2, InDesign CS2,
Photoshop CS2, or Acrobat 7.
•
By typing the IP address of the Version Cue Workspace directly into a web browser.
•
By selecting Advanced Administration from the Version Cue system tray icon (Windows) or the Version Cue menu (Mac OS).

Migrating from Version Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0
If you currently use Version Cue 1.0, you need to migrate your projects and user data to Version Cue 2.0. Keep the following in mind:
•
Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces can be installed and function on the same computer simulta neously.
•
If Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces are installed on the same computer, Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components work only with the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace, because they can communicate only with the port that the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace uses.
Note:
If you uninstall the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace and then restart the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace, the Version Cue
2.0 Workspace then uses the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace’s port, allowing Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components and
Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components to work with the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace.
•
If only the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace is installed, Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components will work with it.
•
Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components work only with Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces.
•
Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components work with both Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces simulta neously as long as the workspaces are not located on the same computer.
•
You can import Version Cue 1.0 projects and users using the Administration utility (see “To migrate from Version
Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0” on page 126).
To migrate from Version Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0

You can use this export to move these files from one host computer (or server) to another or to create a package of the most recent files for output or simply to create an archive of the final versions.Version Cue still manages projects moved between computers. If you want to move a project, you should decide whether to back it up (so that all past versions are also moved) or export (so that only the current versions of project files are moved).

To delete file versions in a project
Each time you save a file version, the version is stored on the Version Cue Workspace database. This database creates a file version history that lets you quickly return to any former state of the file. Although a version history is useful, an extensive history takes up a lot of disk space and can degrade the performance of the Version Cue Workspace. It’s a good idea to clean up versions to improve performance.

Backing up and restoring from Version Cue
Administration
Backing up and restoring projects in the Version Cue Administration utility
The Version Cue Administration utility creates backups of all the information in a Version Cue project. Project backups are stored on the Version Cue file system, in the Backups folder. You can then easily restore a backup copy that represents a Version Cue project as it was on a specific date. Restored project backups do not replace the original
Version Cue project; restored projects are given different project names. You can use a project backup to move a project from one Version Cue Workspace to another while retaining all the versions of that project.
You can customize a backup configuration for your projects. You can back up a project using a new configuration or an existing configuration. A backup configuration includes the ability to schedule a recurring backup for the project.

To back up all data in the Version Cue Workspace
It’s important to back up projects in a Version Cue Workspace from time to time. Rather than doing this project by project, you can instead back up the complete Version Cue Workspace. You can also use this backup to move a complete workspace from one computer to another. If you restore a backup copy of the Version Cue Workspace, all current data on the workspace, including Version Cue projects, files, and versions, is replaced by the backup.
Workspace backup files are saved to the default Backups folder in the Version Cue application folder.

Working with users and privileges
Creating and editing users
All users with a Version Cue user name and login (except those whose access level is set to None) can log into the
Version Cue Workspace Administration utility. However, the tasks they can perform are limited by the privileges assigned to their user names.
To restrict the Version Cue projects that a user can access, you can edit the project’s existing user names. Or, to restrict access further, you can create new Version Cue user names and assign them to a specific project. Creating new names gives you the most control over a project.
Note:
Only users who have system administrator privileges can create new user names.
If you’ve configured the Version Cue Workspace to be visible to others in the Version Cue Administration utility, you don’t need to create and assign Version Cue user names to let other Adobe Creative Suite or WebDAV users access your Version Cue projects and the Version Cue Workspace. The users simply need either to be on your subnetwork or be given the Version Cue Workspace IP or DNS address and port number. After a user accesses the Version Cue
Workspace without using a Version Cue user name, the user name for the user’s own computer is automatically added to the list of users in the Version Cue Workspace, and the password is left blank.

Version Cue PDF reviews
About Version Cue PDF reviews
Using Version Cue you can set up and conduct web-based reviews of PDF documents that are in a Version Cue
Workspace. You can invite selected reviewers by e-mail, create the e-mail message in your e-mail program, and include a direct link to the review document in the e-mail. Invited reviewers only need Adobe Acrobat software and a Version Cue login to access the PDF document using their web browser. As the review progresses, reviewers upload their comments to the Version Cue Workspace. In an open review, all reviewers can see each other’s comments in the PDF document as the review progresses.
You can specify when the review ends or stop a review at any time. When a review is complete, you can view all comments either in the context of the original document or as a list in the Version Cue Administration utility. When you view the comments in the context of the PDF document, all of the Acrobat commenting tools are available, including printing.
Version Cue PDF reviews are especially useful in the late stages of a project when there isn’t time to arrange a tradi tional paper-based review. They are also useful when reviewers are dispersed over a wide geographical area. Aggre gated comments make it easy to summarize comments and track the progress of the review.
Initiating a Version Cue PDF review
You use the Version Cue Administration utility to initiate and manage a Version Cue PDF review. From the Version
Cue PDF review area in the utility, you can start reviews and invite reviewers, find reviews in which you’re partici pating, search for review documents, view review comments (as well as filter the comments by reviewer), stop reviews, and delete finished reviews. You can also reopen completed reviews.
Keep in mind the following requirements for using Version Cue PDF review:
•
To use Version Cue PDF review, reviewers need a Version Cue login name and privileges that allow them to log into the Version Cue Workspace hosting the review.
•
To view the PDF and add comments, users need Acrobat 7.0 Professional. For more information about commenting in Acrobat, see Acrobat Help.

Chapter 7: Drawing
About drawing
About vector graphics
Vector graphics are made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called
vectors
. Vectors describe an image according to its geometric characteristics. For example, the boot laces in a vector graphic are defined by a specific width and length, set at a specific location, and filled with a specific color. You can move, resize, or change the color of the laces without losing the quality of the graphic.
Vector graphics are resolution-independent—that is, they can be scaled to any size and printed at any resolution without losing detail or clarity. As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for representing graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes—for example, logos.

About paths
As you draw, the resulting line is called a
path
. A path is made up of one or more straight or curved
segments
. The beginning and end of each segment is marked by
anchor points
, which work like pins holding a wire in place. You change the shape of a path by editing its anchor points. You can control curves by dragging the
direction points
at the end of
direction lines
that appear at anchor points.
A path is either
open
, like an arc, or
closed
, like a circle. For an open path, the starting and ending anchor points for the path are called
endpoints
.

Paths can have two kinds of anchor points—corner points and smooth points. At a
corner point
, a path abruptly changes direction. At a
smooth point
, path segments are connected as a continuous curve. You can draw a path using any combination of corner and smooth points. If you draw the wrong kind of point, you can always change it.
