I can't paste text or images into Illustrator CS6. I've tried each setting in the clipboard section of the prefs, deleted the prefs, restarts etc. MacOS X 10.7.4 btw.
I can drag images from Photoshop to Illustrator, but not editable text (appears as bitmap).
For some reason I can no longer paste objects (text, vectors, images) I have selected within Illustrator. I used to be able to do this. Even if I want to just duplicate an object within the same document, I can't.
I can copy fine within PS, and paste elsewhere, but when I go into Illustrator, all of the 'edit' options are greyed out and when I cmd-V, nothing happens. Seems to be since intsalling chrome or updating to Maverics (which I did around the same time)
Ever since I upgraded to CS6, I have big problems copying from illustrator to photoshop. I can get it to succesfully paste about 20% of the time. AI starts "not responding" while I'm trying to paste to photoshop every single time, but can usually snap out of it after a few minutes. It seems to have no rhyme or reason to when it works and when it doesn't.
When copying a gradient filled shape from illustrator CS6 to Photoshop CS6 an outline "halo" appears in the Photoshop image although the shape has no outline to begin with. Is this a clipboard issue? Is it an anti-aliasing setting I can change? Apparently it isn't as noticeable when I drag the shape from illustrator to Photoshop as it is when using the copy/paste command. But in both situations there seem to be issues in the border when gradient filled shapes touch other shapes.
Use Oberon's macro that copies to adobe Illustrator with Draw X5? I haven't been able to make it work. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it relies on some of the old Corel scripting commands?
I am having trouble with Adobe Illustrator "copy" and "paste" functions. It take a very long time (as long as 30 min) to copy a simple line and even longer to paste it. This probles is getting worse. My file size is unusual as well. A comparable file is 155k and this one is up to 65 meg and growing.
According to adobe, Illustrator CS4, CS5 have the unicode font support for asian languages. but when i pasted the text in CS4 , it shows junk characters. I applied unicode font(Vrinda) my target langugae.
What are the details to paste the text in unicode.
All of a sudden I am not able to copy and paste. I am trying to copy a vector outlined image from one illustrator file to another. I have used both my short cut keys and the edit tab. I tried closing out and starting on a new document, but nothing. I don't know if I accidentally changed an important setting or what?
When I copy some text from one part of a layout to another, it retains the font settings of the original text. How can I have the text just be text and take on the format of the paragraph I'm pasting into?
For instance, I copy some words into a headline, I don't want them to be 12 pt Times, so I have to re-apply the formatting.
Currently I paste into an external text editor and copy again so that it is just text without formatting. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
How do you copy and paste a graphic from Illustrator CC to Powerpoint?
I know that sounds easy, and it should be...I used to be able to do this the standard way (ctrl+c in Illustrator, ctrl+v in Powerpoint), however now the result is just a load of code inside Powerpoint and no image. (other than exporting as pngs etc.)
I'm on the latest version Illustrator CC, Powerpoint 2011 for Mac, Mac OS 10.9.1
I just installed CS 6 Cloud and now I can't copy, cut, or import from Illustrator anymore. It crashes flash, fireworks, and Photoshop. Illustrator cs6 x86 won't open any files at all. I'm on Windows 7, Dell Precision, 8 GB ram. What to do with all these mdmp crash logs?
I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box at 72 dpi regardless of settings. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about.
The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi. I confirmed this as I can make a 2"x2" box in photoshop and paste into Illustrator and it reads as 2"x2" at 300 ppi in Illustrator, but if I copy from Illustrator back to photoshop it pastes it at 72 ppi. Changing the settings to 300 ppi in Illustrator seems to have no effect. Might be a bug. Should I try reinstalling?
Having a problem with Paste and Paste as Block in the right mouse click drop down window.
In the right Mouse click drop down window the Paste, Paste as Block and the Paste to Original Coordinates are grayed out.
The copy with Base Point works, as does the Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V and repeat Paste Block from the recent Input drop down selection. Why the paste commands are grayed out?
I'm copying some vector art from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop - for some reason it isn't anti-aliasing it. Even when I select Smart Object and rasterize, it's jaggy.
I've also tried saving as an EPS and importing into Photoshop - same behaviour. I can "open" the file, but that flattens it.
What makes it stranger, is I have another machine with CS3 and it imports correctly, so I'm guessing there's a preference somewhere...
If I copy/paste a gradient filled object between two Illustrator CS6 documents, the gradient becomes a blend. This doesn't happen however if just drag the object from one open document to another.
Is there a way to correct this copy/paste behaviour?
I think I've got lots of existing files coming with this problem, the file is really slow and I try to use below method but it didn't work, since there's thousands of script "%AI8_BeginPluginObject" in that AI file.. Any other methods I can use so as to fix it.... and I'm using CS5 version, [UR] .....
Illustrator CS5.5 on Mac: When I copy text from one Illustrator document and paste it in a different document, the text canges to Myriad (the deafult font). Is there a setting somewhere to preserve the formatting? Even pasting into an existing text style still changes the font.
how do I copy and paste a portion of a Live Paint object and have the pasted object remain a Live Paint object? I can select portions of LP object and paste as regular objects, but I want them to remain live paint.
I am trying to do a quite simple thing in Illustrator that I used to know. But, I forgot how to realise it. Back in the days, on Illustrator CS2, I was able to paste a shape/brush/symbol (one of these) into a text field using the Type on a path tool. What I want to achieve is that I got a shape that I would like to use as a character so that I could paste it on a circle stroke. I don't want to use the brush to use the shape/brush as a stroke color because then the shape won't rotate to fit the circle correctly. The only way I am able to get the result I want for now is using the Rotation tool by putting the shape's rotation axis on the middle of a background circle's axis but this is pretty approximate as a method.
If I copy object and text at the same time, it will only paste the text and the object is disappear, but it's no problem if I copy them separately. Besides, If I copy multiple text objects, they will be combined to 1 text object and the font will be changed when I paste.
I run AI CS6. I open new document and prepare two shapes and fill them up with Pantone colors for reference, for my design. I procced to make some work, name cards for example.
Now I want to send the card to my printer, while I work on the rest of colleterals. So I open new document, identical to the one I oppened 30 minutes ago. I don't change color setting or anything. But when I paste the cards to new document, they change color.When I sample the colors, the Color Pallet identifes them correctly by thier pantone number.
After Copy/Paste form PS cmyk object/picture into AI i noticed that it looses original colors making color conversion CMYK->RGB->CMYK (with AI defined cmyk profile).WHY?
Didn't find any preference in AI (or PS) about that.
When I copied text over from Photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color. Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained. Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?
I'm working in Illustrator CS5 and I want to know if it is possible to copy and paste an effect like a drop shadow. For example, let's say I create a document with some text which has a drop shadow on it and some without the effect. Next I create text in a different font with a different drop shadow effect (different settings for the drop shadow attributes). Later in the project I decide, I want to go back and add the first effect to several objects and/or text in my image. Is there a way to copy that effect and paste it in?
I know that I can go in and manually copy the settings of the effect I want to copy, add the effect to a new object, and then re-apply the effect from that point, but is there a way to simplify the process by just copying the effect?
