Illustrator :: CS6 Freezing With More Than One Document?

Apr 6, 2013

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.

Illustrator :: Keeps Freezing Whenever Save Document That Includes Path

Nov 15, 2012

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.

Illustrator :: Why Does Mac Keep Freezing With Shortcuts In CS6

Sep 24, 2012

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.

Illustrator :: CS6 And Graphic Styles (Freezing)

Nov 14, 2012

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.

Illustrator :: Freezing And Appearance Not Working?

May 28, 2012

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 :: CS4 Freezing When Loading Print Option

Sep 25, 2009

Computer Specs:
Dell Dimension 3000
Windows XP (SP3)
750 MB of RAM
Pentium 4 (2.80 GHZ)
40 GB HD / 20 GB Available
** Security patches up-to-date.
 
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.

Illustrator :: CS5 Freezing On Simple Tasks - Applying Texture Grain Effect To Simple Gradient

Jun 25, 2012

Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.

Illustrator :: How To Set DPI For A Document

Jul 8, 2011

I'm designing a user interface for iPad (Resolution: 1024x768, DPI:132). Setting the resolution is a piece of cake but when I change the ruler unit to Centimeters, it shows the screen about 36x27cm which is not right (iPad screen is 24.3x19cm).
 
Illustrator calculates these lengths based on the DPI. But when creating a new document the only available DPI's are: 72, 150, 300 (File > New > Raster Effect). I know that Illustrator is a vector design program but there must be a way to set the DPI to an arbitrary value.
 
How can I have a 1024x768px artboard in Illustrator that is 24.3x19cm? (DPI=132)

Illustrator :: Way To Scale Whole Document In CS6

Jun 13, 2013

Is there a quick 'n easy way to scale a whole document in CS6?Right now, I select all, use the scale tool, option-click, type in a percentage, then resize the artboard. Just wondering if I'm missing something to do it all in fewer steps?
 
Also, any way to scale by other unit besides percentage? So I have a shape that's 374 pixels across. I want to scale it proportionally to 800 pixels across. (traditionally, I just whip out the ol' proportional alegbra equation to convert to percentage)

Illustrator :: How To Use Document Profiles

Jan 21, 2014

how to use document profiles? I noticed a yellow ! triangle when I selected RGB as the color space for a new document. When I clicked on it, I was informed that my new document didn't match the document profile, and now I am wondering whether I should ignore that, or get up to speed on how to use/create document profiles.

Illustrator :: Put Cut Marks In Document?

Oct 1, 2012

I had a leaflet given to me that I agreed to edit. It was A4 in size and fold in three so the original has six faces.  The owner wants to keep the design but reduce it to a single-sheet double sided one third of A4.  So I just did the edits and and made the leaflet into three on a page; like this:
 
My question is how can I put a cut mark in the page.  I am guessing that the leaflets can be cut as required.  Or is that not a good thing to do and should I put them on a standard compliment slip size?

Illustrator :: Going Back To Original Document?

Nov 1, 2013

I opened up a file to use the same size to make another project...i saved the project instead of saving as to save the project as a different document. therefore the old project i made on that document disappeared i was hoping that there was a history panel or something i can go back to what the document was when i opened it..

I still have the document opened - never closed it since i opened it to do some other project.
 
- In photoshop i can just to history and clikc on the thumbnail to reset everything as it was before. I don't want to loose my layers from that older project.

Illustrator :: How To Set A Document Font On All The Text

Aug 21, 2013

I've recently started getting into Illustrator and was wondering if there existed a way to set a "document" font that all the text within the Illustrator file will follow?  I'm building a generic document that I'd like to customize for clients by using their standard font.  Is there a way to do this such that you only set the font in one place?  I'd prefer to also font once rather than selecting all the text layers and changing the font for all.

Illustrator :: Duplicate Entire Document?

Feb 18, 2014

OS: Windows 8 64 bit  Illy: CS6
 
I was playing around with Illy tonight as I haven't been using it nealry as much as of late or even since all the recent updates.
 
Any way, it seems to me that I somehow managed to Duplicate a Document...
 
If you use Photoshop you'll know just what I mean... I'm talking about making an Exact Duplication of all the layers... of everything. You know simply: Image > Duplicate
 
I was playing around with different things and next thing I knew I had Two Document Windows open even though I'm about 99.9% certain that I didn't open a 2nd Doc and that I didn't make the exact same shape twice with same colors etc.
 
Of course... I could quite possibly have drifted off into some dual universe...   (yes, that's the best i can come up with at 3am).
 
Is there now a (hidden) way to make a Duplicate in Illy just like in Ps?

Illustrator :: Lines Being Printed That Don't Appear On PDF Document

Aug 21, 2013

I own a company that designs and sells sewing patterns for men's clothing to be made by home sewers. I have my patterns professionally drafted and sent to me as a poster-sized PDF. I then open it in Illustrator, move things around, change some fonts, etc... and make a 34" wide copy to be printed at a copy shop. That's all fine and dandy, and it prints out perfectly.
 
I then use Acrobat XI Pro to open the 34" version and print to Adobe PDF with the poster setting of 7.5" x 10" for people to print at home. Then I open each page of the multi-page PDF in Illustrator to add a border, alignment marks, page numbers, etc... and save as the same PDF.
 
Now here is where the weirdness begins. For some reason, there are random chunks of lines (identical to the pattern lines throughout the rest of the document) that aren't supposed to be there. They don't show up on my screen when I open the file in Illustrator or Adobe, but they get printed every time. I've even started the whole process from scratch, tested the 34" wide version at the print shop (prints perfectly), and split it into pages again, and the phantom lines are still there!
 
I've attached a photo I took of one of the pages in question. The file on my screen is the exact one I printed, and as you can see, they are definitely not the same
 
I have been saving the PDF files as Press Quality from Illustrator.

Illustrator :: Settings When Opening A Document?

Oct 28, 2012

When I open a document that I've worked on previously, Illustrator seems to re-set its tools - presumably to default settings.  For example the pen tool fill is white, the stroke is black, the point is......etc.
 
It's frustrating to have to change these back to the settings that I am currently using for this document.
 
This also seems to apply to the windows down the right hand side that seem to open in default as opposed to how I last left them when I saved and closed Illustrator.
 
I'd sort of assumed that Illustrator would 'remember' my previous settings etc and open in that way.  Is there a way of opening with the same, previous settings?

Illustrator :: Can Create Links Within A Document?

May 22, 2013

I'm putting together some design specs and I want to create a clickable table of contents that will navigate to a different section of the document. IE. artboard #27
 
From what I've seen thus far it looks like I can add links but only to websites and they are only clickable in PDF mode.
 
Is it possible at the very least to make my clickable TOC when converting my document to a PDF? and, is it possible to make it clickable even if it is in .ai format?

Illustrator :: Export Only 1 Element From AI Document?

Mar 17, 2010

how you could select only one element from within an AI document and be able to export just that element out. For example, I'm making a letterhead and I want to select just a logo element from my page and export just that to an eps so that it could be imported into something else.
 
Back when I was using Corel Draw I could simply select anything and as long as it was the only thing selected I could export it to a new eps file, or whatever kind of file I wanted. If I did it with an image, the image would be cropped to just the bounds of the image.
 
So far it seems the only way to do this in AI is to export the entire artboard. I'm sure this can't be because that would be ludicrous, right?

Illustrator SDK :: Notify Plugin That Have A Different Document

Feb 20, 2012

When working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?
