Illustrator :: AI Is Freezing - Not Allowing To Move Or Adjust / Rotates Without Command
Jan 20, 2014
MY AI is freezing, not allowing me to move or adjust, rotates without command. Just not listening . Sometime it will move other times cursor not responding.
How can i disable the automatic move command? when i choose the move command it automatically moves whatever element that's selected, using the previous dimension used to move something. Big Problem.
I'm working on a poster and for a special printing process am supposed to add a 2 point inside stroke to the type. However, Illustrator has that option grayed out in the appearance panel when I try to add it to the type even when I create outlines.
I love the new versions of Illustrator, but get left in the dust with new innovations that I can't figure out.
I am trying to go to File > Document Setup and all I get is a new dialog box that completely leaves out page orientation and page size as well. I just want to have an artboard that is 11" x 8 1/2" but there is nothing I see in menus or in palettes that give the old comfortable page orientation change that you used to be able to do in older versions of Illustrator. How do I set page or artboard size and orientation?
I 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.
I am trying to move a layer with photo or adjust and then I get to see this sign. What am I doing wrong?Can you explain to me what I should do differently.
I have tried and failed to set line weight of object after baseview command. Its very thick line and showing the 2d object views in very bolds lines when i am trying to take print it is horrible to see it.
I'm on an OSX Lion machine (10.7.4) with 7GB of memory.
I have the following shortcuts in Illustrator: Cmd +Shift + = : To export a file Cmd +3 : Select the same fill color Cmd + 4: Select the same stroke color Cmd + . : Rotate Cmd + , : Reflect an object
It doesn't matter which shortcut it is what will happen is that Illustrator and my Mac will freeze up not allowing me to force quit the program. This will happen randomly and the only way around it is to restart the mac and restore default preferences via Cmd + Option + Shift when opening the program.
I have tried re-installing the suite and it still happens, so I'm wondering is it the specific shortcuts I am using or is it the computer? I only ask because Illustrator has no issues when everything is defaulted, however when I add the shortcuts this issue will happen.
I have always had multiple files open at a time when using illustrator but all day today the program has been freezing everytime i open more than one document. I am able to use the program now if i only have one file open but it freezes as soon as i open the second file. I have restarted my computer twice and i have closed every other program on my computer. I have a macbook pro and i save all of my illustrator files on an external hard drive.
I'm on a Mac and have Illustrator CS6. Whenever I try to open up Graphic Styles, it freezes.I deleted preferences and even did the disk permissions repair, then restarted. Nothing. I tried to create multiple types of documents too (print, web, etc), but whenever I try to open styles after creating that document, it freezes.
These are the vanilla default graphic styles..It might freeze for other tools, but I'm not sure, haven't gotten that far in the investigation.
For some reason to time I need Illustrator to be perfect and it fails on me ON EXAM WEEK.
I used it yesterday perfect for a good 3-4 hour session. I get on today and I notice that clicking on my groups and paths freezes it for around 5 seconds then works again. Isolation mode also takes a while to go in and then come out and when I minimize it it takes longer to open back up again (10 seconds).
That is also not the only problem
I'm trying to copy the appearance from one group to another by dragging the swatch in the appearance panel. When I apply it to an object that object turns invisble but I can still see the path it just has no fill or stroke

Illustrator Version: CS4 v14.0.0
When I am go to "File > Print" the print screen begins to load and then completely freezes. The default printer is set to "Brother GT-541". This is a digital garment inkjet printer. If I switch the default printer to something else, the print screen will load without issue. If I then change the destination printer in the drop-down menu to "Brother GT-541" it will freeze. Once Illustrator is frozen, I need to force quit in order to get back into Illustrator.
I contacted the company we purchased the Brother GT-541 from - to see if they were aware of any issues. There were none - but they explained that they have no customers who use CS4, most all of them use CS3 or prior. They advised that I update the Brother GT-541 printer driver, which I did - and it turned out to be no luck.
i am trying to do my online assignment for Adobe Illustrator. I am using the 3-D effect and everytime I click on the preview check box, it freezes up. Which is very frustrating, because that effect is used alot in this chapter. If it is a computer memory problem, how do I fix that?
For the last few weeks everytime I'm working on a document in illustrator cs6 that includes paths, I go to save it and it freezes, I try and copy it and it freezes.
I've got an Intel Core Processor @ 2.00GHZ and 8.00GB RAM, I don't have any other program open at the same time so I don't know why this keeps happening.
I am designing my band's album cover and it features pill capsules. I can create the object with ease, but when I click on "3D Revolve" and then hit "preview" it says "Rendering Artwork" and instantly freezes at halfway. how I want to get this done asap. I have tried the Alt+Ctrl+Shift trick that I have heard of, but that doesn't work either.
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!
I just got AUTOCAD 2013 and I have problem using MOVE command. With my previous version AUTOCAD I was able to move one by one every line from the object I created. Now with the new version when I use MOVE command, not only one line is moved, it is moved the whole object (Like the object is a block, but is not).
How can I move only one single object from my drawing?
i have always used spacebar+command/alt to zoom in/out but now suddenly its not working..! command+spacebar now toggles the MOVE tool...!? spacebar+alt is still zoom out, and i noticed that the right command+spacebar is still fine but i just cant get used to using it i have always used the left command+spacebar....
Having never used this command before I am struggling as to where it is located.I imported a U-Bolt in Solidworks format and I am just trying to move the nuts as indicated.
Whenever I use the move command on a line or series of lines that are touching other lines, the lines that aren't part of my selection move with that one line. cad-movecommand.jpg Here's a series of screenshots showing what I mean. I can't move just that line without moving the other lines around it.
Before I upgraded to AutoCAD 2014 (was using 2012) when I used the MOVE command on 3D geometry (while using the Realistic Visualization) I could see one object move into another. Like, moving a cylinder into a box to represent a button, and I would see it slowly sink into the box as I moved it further and further along.
In 2014, the object I am moving will REMAIN ON TOP visually of all other geometry until it is completely inside the other geometry (at which point it disappears completely). It's hard for me to then judge just how much of it is sticking out during the MOVE command. Once I complete the move command, the proper visualization order is then shown.
In other words, if I have a 10 inch cylinder, and I'm trying to move it into a box so only 2 inches sticks out (as a visual guesstimation), currently I would see ALL 10 inches of the cylinder whether part of it is inside the box or not, until I complete the MOVE command.
When I use the move command to, let's say, to move a floor plan (drag to new location on the page), some of the lines in the "moved" floor plan are either skewed or missing. I'm able to "cut and paste" as welll as "copy with basepoint" w/out problem.
I am using Photoshop Elements 9 and the "move" tool is not working. The Auto select layer box is checked and I have rebooted the computer and reset the move tool. I keep getting the error message "Could not complete the Move command because of a program error."
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.
