Illustrator :: Cannot Find User Generated Swatch Libraries To Delete
May 29, 2012
I created two swatch libraries with the same name which was a mistake and means that i always choose the wrong one.
In trying to figure out where the swatches are I came across a forum post from adobe that mentioned they were in application support in the library.
Well in my case they are not.
When I go to save a new swatch library it shows the path on my mac as...
private/var/root/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobeillustratorcs6/ en_GB/swatches
But i cannot find a way to access this folder to delet the swatch libraries...

I have downloaded some of Ian symbols which is a zip file and Safety Nut 10° thru 55°. How do I place these files in Illustrators Swatch Libraries. The Safty Nut file has installed itself somewhere?? If I double click on the folder Illustrator starts up an the nuts are there in a window but when I close Illustator and restart Illustratior and look for it in the swatch folders it dose not show up?

I'd like my company color palette to be present when I create a new document.
I've tried saving the a color group as .ase but when I try and open my user defined swatch library, it's not clickable. That's a workaround for what I want anyway. It seems like there used to be an option called "persistent" in older versions but how do I get my colors to automatically appear when I'm using CC?

Is there a way to save an lllustrator color group as an ASE swatch library? When I try to do this, the entire library, including all the default swatches, are saved, when all I want are the particular swatches I've added to a new colour group. I want to be able to save swatch libraries for various clients, then be able to access them in InDesign and Photoshop as well. Or alternatively, is there a way to remove unwanted swatches from a swatch library once it's been saved? (Using CS6 on a Mac running 10.8.4)

I made a bunch of custom brushes and created a new brush library for each group in Illustrator 5.5. A couple of libraries are basically dupes and I no longer need them.
Is there a way to delete the "whole" user defined library pallet.

I have created a swatch panel with my own colours - named "custom 1" in CS6...how to add a new colour to "custom 1" at a later stage? Surely once you create a custom swatch panel, it can have colours added to it?

I can not delete some of the swatches (PMS colours) from the dock. I've tried to search for any artwork that may contain the colour, but I could not find anything. When I open Swatch Options it only lets me change Color Mode. Swatch name and color type are greyed out no matter what color mode I choose. I've tried to copy and paste the artwork in a new document, restart Illustrator but the problem persist.
I work on Mac OS x 10.6.8..

I'm working on a project where I am colorizing roughly 20 images using gradient maps with two different swatches from a color scheme of eight swatches. I'd like to create a color swatch library that I can access and also change out swatches easily so that if the client doesn't like a particular color, I could change that swatch and it would automatically change in all the files using that color library. (The gradient maps would be created by using an adjustment layer, not done to the actual image, if that makes a difference.) Is this possible? Normally I colorize grayscale .psd files directly in InDesign, but the image contrast and clarity is much better when adjusting the color in Photoshop.

I created user defined AI brushes which I can't find to delete within MAC Lion. They are not in Library>Application Support>Adobe, because Adobe Illustrator folder does not exist there. They are not under Users either. Any clues as to were these custom brushes are buried?

Either in Library or Develop, when pressing the Backspace button, nothing happens. Files don't get deleted.

Background: My job requires that I print vinyl cut letters and shapes. I do this by creating a cut contour path in illustrator with a spot color as a stroke, so that once printed, there will be instructions on the print showing where to cut and the cutter will recognize the marks.
My problem is that, for some reason, the cutter is going back over the cut path a 2nd time, as if there is more than one cut contour path in the file. But looking at the eps file in Illustrator, I don't see any extra overlapping paths with another stroke. It just looks like there is one pink line that there are actually extra cut paths that the cutter is reading that I don't know about. Is there a way for me to either A) find all of the paths and turn off the spot color swatch on all of them and just apply it to the one I need or B) find all paths and delete overlapping ones that I don't need?
getting extra overlapping cut paths in different Layers(?) I'm just really not sure what to do or how to find these and weed them out.

If I wanted to create a new swatch palette without the preset colors being there, how can I delete all the swatches at once. I know how to delete each color individually but, is there a way to clear the palette?

How can I quickly find a Pantone Swatch number? The swatches are, for all intents and purposes, in random order... Typing a umber does not jump to the swatch.

Most of the time, I delete an user parameter without problem. But, in a part, I got an error for two of them and I don't understand why. I create a new parameter and redirect all dependencies from the old one to the new. (oldParam.Dependencies.Count = 0).
But when I try to delete it, I've got an error. Also, when I try to delete it by the interface, I don't see the Delete option.

I've just installed the pantone colour management software which is supposed to update CS with all the new pantone palettes including the + colours amongst other things. Although installation seemingly went fine, my CS palettes are unchanged and have not been updated. Have contacted pantone but no joy yet.

I know you can sort in the main symbol window but in the symbol libraries there is no sort feature. Is there a way to get them to be in alphabetical order?

Once in awhile I try to use a symbol from one of the Symbol Libraries built into AI (CC in this case). I just wonder why they are dumbed down instead of retaining current features such as path profiles. This image, for example, would be a good starting point for an image if it were left with profiles intact.
I suppose these were created back with the feature did not exist. Then why not update them? I'm paying enough for the privilage of using AICC.

I am just wondering if there is a way to print off a hard copy of the fonts (without going into the individual TTF files and printing them). and or all of the swatches. For example, if I want to find a callout, and do not remember which library it is in, I have to navigate and open every font, then scroll through visually. I would love to have a binder that I could refer to with these files printed off?

Is there any convenient way to edit symbol, swatch or graphic style libraries? The way I do now is quite time-consuming: I open a library I need to edit, create a new symbol, select other symbols of the opened library (so that they appeared withing the generic "Symbols" tab alongside with the new symbol), then press "Save Symbol Lybrary", select the library I've already opened and replace it with the new one (with a new symbol added).
I would prefer just to open a user defined library, drag and drop a new symbol to it and save changes to the library. Is the latter method out there and I just don't know about it? If so, any trick to activate that method.

I'm working on a scrpit for Illustrator which generates cycloidal curves (hypocycloid, epicycloid, rhodonea) and would like to explore my options for creating a blur across the path. The generated images will be saved as a PNG and then used in another program for an optical research application. So far, I have learned that it is not possible to access any of the effects through javascript. I also looked into applying a graphic style (as found in several other posts), however I need to have control over the amount of blur applied.
As an alternative, I've been working with applying a radial gradient across the path (whcih is possible using javascript). This achieves an effect which is 'close enough' however. Here is an image of the result generated using a 'rhodonea' curve:
My issue is: How do I blend the path at the intersections to get something like this (generated with the 'gaussian blur' effect):

How to edit a .wmf file that is a graph and was generated by a statistical program. I need to visually enhance this graph, making it look more appealing for publication in a manuscript. It's very simple, just need to make rectangles behind the existing text that form the columns in the graph, and shade the rows of the graph to assist the reader to follow the row across the graph. While I can edit the text on the .wmf, I can't get a rectangle to be placed under the existing text unless I lower the opacity of the rectangle which won't work as I need black and white only. I've tried converting the text to rectangle, but the stretching of the text won't be acceptable. What would be the workflow I should attempt to follow to enhance the looks of the document in illustrator? Is there a trick to getting the rectangle to behave? It works just fine if I actually type NEW text in, then place a rectangle, but I'll have to work with the info in the .wmf file - can't re-type it all.

I am not sure how, but I ended up with duplicates in my library - probably a couple of hundred. I know there is a checkbox for not importing duplicates. Why is there not a duplicate finder for those already in the library? Or is there? Lightroom 4

I opened a PDF in Illustrator and it has 4 Spot color swatches. Two of them will not delete or let me alter them and I need to change them to CMYK. I've tried reopening the document, restarting my computer and copying and pasting everything into a new document. Nothing has worked for me. I've also tried selecting everything, and going to Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to CMYK ... and then making a new color group (with global checked.) Still won't let me edit the two problem swatches. I then went to "Select all unused" from the swatch panel (thinking they would at least get selected because all of the colors should link to my new global color group) and the two problem swatches did NOT get selected. I've tried deleting all the links (thinking maybe the spot color was tucked in an eps file or something.) No objects are locked and none of the layers are locked.
