View 6 RepliesI have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
I wanted to save a gradient to apply to other elements.
The drop down menu in the gradient panely only presents the option to show/hide options. The help files seem to think I should get a save icon.
I was always able to do this before. (should be simple...) I made a gradient and just want to save / add it to a Swatch Panel that I've already defined and saved. I used to be able to drag (I think) the gradient into the desired Swatch Panel and then 'save the swatch again' It won't let me do this today even though I just did it last night!
I'm working on a Windows 7 machine and I am using Illustrator CS5....
I was trying to do the cmd+shift+option+fn+F12 to calculate the area on an object and nothing happens..so i was reading on the Internet that adobe dropped this feature no longer exists is this true?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen you select a linked image on the artboard you should have the option to " Create a Linked File variable: Select a linked file and click the Make Object Dynamic button in the Variables panel." That is right out of the Adobe Illustrator reference. When I select linked files the button to make object dynamic is greyed out.I see no other way to continue(CS6) also reading about similar problems in (CS5).

I feel like an idiot asking a question that should be basic, but I swear I have been seaching all over the place and can't find the answer.
im starting up illustrator, and the control panel (at the top) is missing. I tried restoring the essentials layout, restarting the program, and restarting the computer to no avail. the screen resolution is at the highest setting, and the control window is checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with Illustrator CS6, running on 10.6.8. I'll have an object selected, and I'll be using my Swatches panel to edit the colour of the object's fill, let's say. Then I will want to edit the colour of the stroke – as soon as I hit the stroke square in my toolbox, the Swatches panel disappears and the Color panel jumps out instead. I have to close the Color panel, and then reopen the Swatches every single time. Workspace: "Essentials" I don't have the Auto Collapse Iconic Panels on...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI accidently did something here. I got this middle panel in illustrator and I can't get rid of it. It seems I can only click on tools or unclick tools but I can't get rid of the Glyphs, Flash Text, Stroke, Gradient, etc. I don't want this middle panel showing. It takes up too much screen space. How do I get rid of it?

I love using the Kuler panel in illustrator but I downloded the new CC version and my color panel will not load my themes or allow me to browse other Kuler sets. Here is what I am seeing:
Then when I click on the Download My Themes button I get this:
Now I know I am not offline becasue I can still go on to the Kuler website and get themes and my login apears in the box above the Download button.
So how do I browse themse and get them in to Illustrator with in the application?
I created a panel by following the EmptyPanel sample. Basically, my code looks like:
AIErr Plugin::AddWidgets()
{
...
AIPanelPlatformWindow hDlg = NULL;
sAIPanel->GetPlatformWindow(fPanel, hDlg);
HWND HwndSelectButton = CreateWindowEx(
0, "BUTTON", // Predefined class; Unicode assumed.
[Code]...
The problem is, when I call sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification, I get a NULL file path with an error code of kNoDocumentErr.
Is there a reason why I can not open the actions panel from the timeline when I have the code panel docked and open in application frame? If I close the code panel I can view the actions panel. Why can't I have both open?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've encountered a problem when using simple gradients in Illustrator CS6 v v16.0 on the Creative Cloud. My gradients are not smooth, you can see vertical/horizontal delineations in color when in linear mode, and circular delineations when in radial mode. This seemed strange to me since this is vector based. The attached picture is an example of this problem, it's 18x24 at 300dpi. It also persists when I export/save the image. This problem is also present in Photoshop.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi'm in illustrator cs3, and even tho my stops in my gradeint are true black (it even shows true black on the stops), in the gradient itself, it's that horrible cmyk grey.
when trying to use blending modes and masks because it treats what's supposed to be black like the grey I'm getting, so things always look a little off. My document's in RGB mode and i havent found any other fixes...
I have a rectangle with a number of vertical gradients, what I would like is to add a gradient horizontally, to have the whole thing fade to white along the x-axis. Is there any way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've used the Gradient Tool many, many times and I just now noticed this. I don't know if it's supposed to do this or not but I don't ever remember this happening before. As you can see when I use the linear setting and I change the angle to anything other than 0, the UI of the gradient gets much larger. This makes it difficult to edit especially when the angle is set to something like 45 degrees. The sliders are almost unreachable.

View 5 Replies View RelatedEvery time I'm working in an Illustrator file with multiple layers and hundreds of objects on those layers that sometimes aren't grouped yet, I find it hard to select click on the objects in the layers panel on the right, selecting them via shift-click (you know, selecting all objects between the first and the last clicked object).
Is there a way I can select layer objects with the shift-option and afterwards have all of the items selected on the artboard? See the images for illustration.
I would like to create a fraction with illustrator in one of my drawings but I can't seem to be able to do it.
I went on the internet to see how I could do it and I learned that I should write my fraction like text1/text2 then go to the OpenType panel and select fractions.
Somehow when I select my fraction and go to the OpenType panel none of the possible options are available. They are writen in a pale color and inaccessible. How do I do to make those options available? Do i need some kind of add-on?
In CS6, you could select the artwork, then go the the Artboard Panel, choose options, and then choose "fit to selected artwork" or "fit to artwork bounds." This resized the artboard to fit your artwork. In Illustrator CC, both options are absent in the Artboard Panel and "Custom" isn't there either. I can't find these options anywhere else. I am reopening files in CS6 to do this now. Can't believe they eliminated this feature. I use it everyday.
