Illustrator :: Hidden Insertion Point In Type - How To Get To Show Again
Jul 12, 2012
On some Illustrator CS5 documents, when I click inside a text box, no insertion point (aka the blinking vertical line, or blinking cursor) is shown. I can see the edges, and can highlight text, so it's not the show/hide edges preference in view as far as I can tell. And I've switched show/hide edges off and on, even with ctrl-H a few times to make sure. So right now I can't tell where my insertion point or cursor is inside a text box until I start typing or highlighting something. The little blinking vertical line is gone! How do I get it back?

I'm using AI CC now, but I noticed this problem in earlier versions of AI: If I want to place a one-word label on an illustration I move the type insertion cursor to a speific point on the screen image and click, but then the flashing insertion point, where the label will actually start, pops up elsewhere, usually a line or two above where the cursor was, and a pica or two to the left, forcing me to type the label, then move it into position rather than simply typing it in the right place and moving on. The problem is merely annoying, but I'd like to fix it. It's probably a matter of ignorance-I simply haven't read the right documentation, but I don't know what to call the problem. Where can I find out how to change the position of the cursor relative to the insertion point?

I'm having an odd problem in AI CS6, and I first want to try trashing my preferences file, but I can't find it (sounding dumb). When searching, I ran across references to user/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/ but I can't find that either (sounding even dumber). I see users/ myname/ but no library/preferences. I try users/myname/roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS 6 settings /en_us/x64 but nothing there gives me a file folder or a file named preferences (can't feel any dumber). BTW, I am using the file options Show Hidden Files and Show Extensions, and I'm running PC Windows on a 64-bit machine.

We all hide and unhide things constantly as we work.But when you do a Show All (CTRL+ALT+3), to effectively unhide all hidden objects, is there a way to do so without unhiding all hidden sublayers as well.
When I do a Show All, even sublayers that were hidden when the file was opened (and never unhidden) unhide along with all hidden objects.

I have an Adobe Illustrator CS6 document with body copy set using 6.5 pt. Helvetica Neue LT Std. - Bold Condensed & Light Condensed.
After saving the file as a PDF in Illustrator using the [Smallest File Size] setting, closing the file, and opening the newly saved PDF in Illustrator - the 6.5 pt. text is now 5.53 pt. with a vertical scaling of 117.65%.
This PDF is for client review purposes - on screen or laser print - not for reproduction. We try to keep the file size as small as possible to make downloading and e-mail attachments manageable.
In this case, my client is opening the PDF in Illustrator to double-check the text point sizes for legal & regulatory purposes.
If I save the same Illustrator file as a PDF using other settings like [High Quality Print], the text size is unchanged.
I was able to repeat the issue using Helvetica LT Std in place of Helvetica Neue LT Std.
I have attached some screen shots for reference.

I found this older thread from 2011 where someone had the same issue - but was never resolved: [URL] ....

I don't simply want to see the coordinates when I hover over a point. I want the coordinates actually showing on the document. Is there a plug-in that can accomplish this easily?

I'm having issues with positioning room tags.
When I try to position my preferred tag in some, mostly, small rooms I get an out of room error.
I assume this relates to an insertion point over which I have no apparent control which can be clearly seen, a green line, when trying to move the tag - see attached screen grab.

I have created a set of standard panel cutouts for connectors as ifeatures.
they work good however i created them all from one file and they were in various locations in the original file.
when i insert the objects i am unable to place them by their centers and have to re-position afterward.
Is there a way to edit the ifeature and modify the location of the insertion point?

I have a VBA to insert a block I ask the user for an insertion point GETPOINT. Then I allow the user to select an angle. GETANGLE starting with the insertion point. If the user picks a point or enters a number there is no problem.
However if the user hits enter it crashes saying invalid input. What I want to happen that if enter happens it accepts it as an angle of 0.

I have drawn some doors and saved them as blocks. Whenever I insert one or another, the door itself is far away from the insertion point. How can I modify this?

I've been going through some examples on [URL] to create polylines and i've managed to make some code run. One thing that I can't seem to find information on though, is how to use the default AutoCAD command line options in my code. For instance, I would like to be able to prompt the user whether they would like to snap the polyline to an insertion point, everytime they create a new verticie.
Below is some example code from the site that i'm working from:
namespace MyPlineApp
{
public class MyPlineCmds

I create a block where coordinate 0,0 is my base/insertion point (which is established in an orientation that is to the lower-left of my blocks line work). In a new drawing I insert that block and specify coordinate 0,0 as my insert point. Instead of my insertion point being in the lower left it is in the upper right. I run into this in new version and old version drawings.

When editing multileader text, the insertion point changes. How do I stop this? I have several multileaders with their insertion points aligned together (left justified notes) but if I edit any text, the multileader jumps to a new position and is no longer aligned with the other notes.

Currently, I have the base or insertion point of some of my blocks in an undesirable spot and I would like to move it. When I insert a drawing or block I have difficulty in placement due to a poor choice in the drawing or block I am trying to insert.

I created a dynamic block with a polar stretch. I insert the block, then have to select the grip to rotate/stretch it. Can it be inserted and then rotated/stretched all in one action? The insertion point is at one of the line and the polar stretch grip is at the other end.

know if there is a command which joins GetEnttiy() and GetPoint() functions. At the moment I'm using both commands one after another. Result I want would be one command where you can choose entity or select insertion point.

If I use this code it will give me the insertion point for a block
(setq ent (car (entsel "
Select Main Object: ")))
(setq InsPt (assoc 10 (entget Ent)))
Now if I try to use this for a surface label and try to get the insertion point
(setq ent (car (entsel "
Select Main Object: ")))
(setq oEnt (vlax-Ename->Vla-Object ent))
(vlax-dump-object oEnt)
I dont see anything that will get the insertion point.

How to create a sub-assembly with an insertion point parameter using Sub-assembly composer.
like this one below. I found this under the following sub-assembly. All I want is , when the user inserting the sub-assembly they may need to go on both the sides attached.
Example:
So the user should be able to select from the dropdown if the insertion point is 1 or 2. Before inserting.

I need to convert a number of raw point clouds into PCG files for insertion into Revit. I'd like to do this ahead of time, and preferably without having to open and insert into Revit. I know Revit uses adpointcloudindexer.exe to index the raw file formats, but was unsuccessful at trying to launch it by itself. If this can be used as a standalone convertor, possibly by combining the exe with a switch and a file location?

My boss gave me a drawing to make some changes on a particular block; however, every time I try to insert the block, it always insert the block in Paper Space even though I'm in Model Space.
Is there any way to change that insertion point? I want to insert the block in Model not in PS...

How can I find a block with a specific name and get what the coordinates are? What we have is our Bill of Material is attributed blocks. I am attempting to change the first one. Well all of the lines that list the parts are seperate blocks with the same name. Now the Top Line of the Bill of Material is a different named block. If I can find the coordinates of this block I can then select the first line to do what I need to.
If needed: AutoCAD 2013 User using Visual LISP for editing LISP and DCL files Also I have AutoCAD 2011 currently still available for us, but we are using AutoCAD 2013 for 99.9% of AutoCAD use
