Illustrator :: AI CS6 Won’t Release Fonts / Not Even When It Closes
Aug 26, 2012
I went to the Character panel and from there, I opened the list of installed fonts on my system. As I browsed the list, I spotted two fonts that I wanted to delete. When I tried to delete them, Windows 7 displayed a “Can’t delete — fonts in use” message. I closed Illustrator, and tried again to delete the two fonts. Again, I got the same message. I’m going to have to reboot to delete those fonts plus some others I’ve since identified. Doing that is a pain in the xxx because I’ve always got a bunch of stuff open.
Illustrator needs to release all fonts except those in use in the current document. I should be able to delete any other fonts at any time. If Illustrator or any other Adobe program is displaying a list of fonts at the time I delete a font, it should dynamically update the list.

using Illustrator CS. My Illustrator document size is 10,000 x 1920 pixels. I need to export from Illustrator at this size at 72 dpi but Illustrator says:
“Could not Export. Rasterized Image Exceeds Maximum Bounds for Save for Web"
I tried using “Export" and "Save for Web” but I get the same answer.
Can someone using CS 5 open a new document 10,000 x 1920 pixels and try to export it at 72 dpi and tell me if it works?

I drew some simple paths in Photoshop with the pen tool, then exported the paths to Illustrator. All the paths came into illustrator as compound paths, though they look like simple paths in illustrator. Because they are compound paths, I can't join the ends of the paths to the ends of other paths.
Whe I select one of these paths:
Object>Compound Path>Release is greyed out and unavailable. "Release Compound Shape" in the Pathfinde palette menu is also greyed out and unavailable.
Is there any way to make these paths back into simple paths without redrawing them? I'm using CS6 versions of both Photoshop and Illustrator.

Why does a selection release after UNDO function? Older versions didn't used to. It's annoying to have to re-select after each time you undo.

I'm using a basic custom brush which reacts to pressure, and whenever I make a brush stroke with my stylus, the line doesn't appear until I lift my pen off the tablet. It's a seemingly random occurence, although it occurs in both my work (CS6 / Win7 / Intuos3) and home (CS6 / Win8 / Intuos4) setups.

Platform: PC/Windows XP SP2Adobe: Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2)
Is it possible to release all compound paths in an illustration at the same time (and if so - how)?
I receive drawings from engineering in either PDF or CGM format, which I edit in Illustrator and save as AI. I have to release compound paths in order to delete specific parts of the drawing.
This isn't difficult, but it is very time-consuming because the CGM(or PDF)-to-Illustrator conversion results in quite a few compound paths.

I'm working with another artists's file, and I can't seem to release the clipping mask he created. When I try, I get an error message that says, "Can't ungroup the objects." I've tried releasing Compound Paths, but I get the same message.

I can't draw with it like this. It's basically what the title says, when I draw a blue line shows up until I release the mouse button and then my stroke appears.

I have been working with some illustrator files for a while and all of a sudden I cannot open them anymore. I do not even get an error message. I tried opening them on another computer. They open, but then when I order to re-link the images, the file just shuts down. The files are quite large, but even when I make them smaller (smaller then when they were before this problem started), I still cannot open them. I thought it might be related to the images, but also older files with no new images have the same problem.

It was working perfectly fine over the weekend and then Monday I open illustrator and try to open a drawing I was working on and it closes on me everytime. Now I can't open or save files without it closing itself. I would uninstall and reinstall it but i lost my code. I have to make vector images for a couple of clients of mine!

After installing Mavericks, I can no longer link files in illustrator CC as the finder window closes by itself after one second or if I click on anything. It was happening with save as also, but that seems to have rectified itself by reinstalling the program.

I could have a drawing open, open up the xref, make a change in it save and close. I would get a message in the bottom corner of the drawing saying ‘RELOAD XREF’S’ I would hit that and it would update the changes I made.
I do that same change I won’t get any message saying ‘RELOAD’ and even if I type in ‘xref’ and reload the it that way, it doesn’t update any changes I made. I have to actually detach and re-attach it to see the changes I made.

Lightroom 2 used to open the import window when I plugged in my iphone 3G but now it doesn't. It doesn't even show up and "import photos from device" is grayed out. I would like to be able to import photos from my iPhone as if it were a camera.

I'm using Photoshop CC on a 2008 MacBook running OS X Mountain Lion and have some issues using the polygonal lasso tool and the magnetic select tool: When making a selection I can close it by double tapping on the touchpad or clicking enter but not by doubleclicking on the touchpad or my Magic Mouse … yet the doubleclick function does still work e. g. when I doubleclick a layer in order to rename it.

I enlarged a photochrom image (which gimp converted to rgb) to twice its original size, but when I wanted to see its dimensions in inches the image scale showed 6.667 x 4.887, which is half the original size. This can’t be possible, the enlarged image is quite big. I set the resolution at 300, if that makes a difference…

I run Photoshop CS4 on a Windows PC with 4GB. Even though I frequently
"purge", Photoshop does not seem to be releasing RAM even when all files
have been closed, often holding on to some 2GB RAM. Only when I terminate
Photoshop, the RAM it grabbed is released. This means I would have to exit
and relaunch Photoshop many times a day.

If I load a dll file into the autocad (using NETLOUD), and after a while I want to make some changes in the dll, then re-build it. In order to do so, I must close the autocad, otherwise I'll get an error ("Unable to copy file,,, because it is being used by another process..."). There is anyway to release the dll so I can change it without closing the autocad everytime?

When dragging various sliders in Photoshop CS5, very often these sliders get "stuck" and move with the mouse even though you have released the mouse. Say you are dragging a slider to set the brush opacity to 50%. When you have set it to 50%, you release the mouse and move it away from the slider, only to find that the opacity still increases or decreases as you move your mouse. You have to click again to fix this, but then of course you have to go back and do it again.
Below is a small illustration (I can't take a screenshot of my mouse) of an example of when this happens:
This happens to me around once every 5 times I use a slider, i.e. extremely often. As you can imagine, it's very annoying and frustrating.I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, and I never use Photoshop without it so I cannot confirm whether this bug happens with a mouse or just the tablet.It doesn't just happen like on the above illustration, but also with any slider such as those in Adjustment Layers and Filters.The bug does not happen when using tools on the canvas. So the Brush tool, and every other tool, works fine and never gets "stuck".I have the latest version of Photoshop CS5.This is a bug that has always been in CS5 since the first version, and it has not been in previous versions of Photoshop.
Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (but the problem has existed way before 10.6.7)
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2

When I close a large document Photoshop does not release the memory. If I open another document the program is slow and not resposive. If I close out of Photoshop and restart it then load the other document it is quick and responsive again.

The memory the program is using balloons over time because it does not release memory after you close files. In the course of a day, the memory the program uses gets into the 8-10 GB range (we have very large files such as vehicle wraps and large full color signage). The program will start and occupy under 100mb of memory and then when you open a file it will allocate the memory for that file (say 1 GB). Then when you close that file, the memory isn't released or even re-addressed (it just seems to be in limbo at that point). So after 2 dozen or so files the memory the app is taking up gets into the multi-gigabyte range....even without a single file open (the app is running with no open documents).
Now the system I am running has 12GB of ram, so I am not running out of memory yet, but it is still quite alarming to look and see only 2 GB of ram free on a 12GB system with no open files...
I cannot imagine why the programmers wouldn't have the app release the memory it's using. That seems like really sloppy coding to me. (programming 101: when your app is done with memory, release it.).
The system configuration is as follows:
Core i7 980X 3.33Ghz (6 physical cores with hyperthreading), 12 GB RAM, 4-way RAID-0 SSD HDD array, Windows 7 64-bit, Corel Suite x6 (updated to 6.3).

I learned Autocad on release 12 and then migrated to r14 and 2001. Nowadays most drafting is done with r14. However I want to be able to insert a .jpg into the drawing
environment and draw lines over it. Specifically, I want to take pictures of Christopher Dressers designs and bring them into Autocad and then trace over them. I feel I will get a huge education into architectural ornament as well as becoming more facile with lines.
I haven't kept up with Autocad's upgrades but undoubtedly the later releases have this functionality. Which one will work?

we have DWG files with multi leader lines, we would like to save these files to an earlier release so that others could access, what would be the earliest date recommended.
