Illustrator :: Convenient Way To Edit Graphic Style Libraries
Oct 14, 2013
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.

Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC? Nothing works. I've tried several options to make a Graphic Style. Even tried to copy another and change it.

I'd like to create a circle with no fill but a stroke of arrow heads, so that the arrow heads appear to be following on, one after the other around the circle.
What would be the best way to do this?

Copying an element which has a graphic style applied now breaks apart the style into individual elements if the style is applied to text, the text is outlined too. This never use to happen. Have tried changing the paste board setting but this changes nothing.

There must be some keyboard command to duplicate a graphic style since I seem to do that often unintentionally. What is the command, and can I turn it off? CS 5.5, Mac, OSX 10.8.2.

Im ok with Illustrator but not brilliant. What Im looking for is a Graphic Style that I can just add/load into my CS5 version of Illustrator that when I select it will give me a vector drop shadow under text
I would be able to edit the style to suit my text but struggling to create one from scratch after following write-ups and videos for the last 24hours!
Realise there are easier ways to make drop shadows but I need the drop shadow to be scaleable up to large sizes in a vector format as well as the text

I am trying to create a graphic style that will give me a frame that has the 3d rounded effect. Bevel and Extrude isn't what I am looking for... I have a pic here with a bevelled edge effect, but it has a flat surface...and I want it to look round...

Is there a way to insert a Ai graphic into msWord and the graphic text still be searchable in msWord? I would like the text in my Ai graphic to be searchable once the graphic is inserted in msWord. I have tried different Ai exports, but all come into msWord as pictures. Is there a way to keep the Text Layer in my Ai file searchable in msWord.

I am curious if there is such a thing as Vector Clip Art? I'm looking for a Retro looking simple Rocket Graphic. I looked a little through my program and didn't find any Art but not sure I'm looking in the right place.

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'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'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 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?

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...

Fired up 2012 and I find the new modeling dialog boxes quite annoying. For example, within Edit Poly, the chamfer, extrude, etc. Is there any way to switch back to the old, standard windows style dialogs?

I'm a newbie in Corel draw X4. editing lines and curves ?
My problem is about the outline: When I edit a line that was made with a certain style (eg Artistic Brush) Corel reset its outline properties to the current default one :-(
Is there a way I could lock my object to prevent this ?

Every time I try to edit the Contents of a label on the Layout Tab of the Style Composer I get the errors below. I've tried a restart, a reboot, a repair and a reinstall with no change. This happens even in a new blank drawing.Each of these messages appears and has to be closed about 5 times.

I'm trying to revise my template that I use as a base for all drawings. I would like to have layer colors in models space, and alter the plot style for the individual layers. For example, My ctb is grayscale, and generally the prints work fine. However, I'd like to set individual layers to display as the layer color yet print black. Othere I'd like to display in colour but print in the grays of the grayscale. However, in the layer manager the plot style is grayed out and I can't change it.

In autoCAD tools I am using Device ID to mark my receptacles GFI, WP, and Ect. I am using Light ID to mark my lighting fixtures. The problem is the labels do not match my current text style. These tags also do not work like room tags and other tags I have searched to resolve this issue. The command these tools are grabbing is AECscheduletag. Is there a way to change the text style and size for these tags.

I'm trying to edit my label style so that the bearing has no decimal places and the distance has two. I thought it would be similar to editing the contour label precision but it doesn't seem to be that way.
