View 2 RepliesTrying to move my PC CS5 Photoshop and illustrator shortcuts and workspace, and Photoshop presets, into CS6 on the mac pro retina,
PS & AI shortcuts and work-spaces,
PS presets (including brushes).
I'm unable to reposition an image within the work space area (drag from title frame and re-position) unless I refresh the work space.
Without a refresh, the image is locked in place.
This is in the CS3 Windows environment and has been confirmed on two separate systems. Anyone have a solution other than refreshing/selecting a different work space?
Have used all sorts of queries but can't seem to locate how to:
Move the tool options from being displayed on the bottom of my workspace to the top (like a bar across the top).
I can't seem to find anything to "drag" it or move it.
I was working with Elements 7 and have switched to the new Elements 11.
I used to be able to minimize my images and have them on my workspace side-by-side. I liked the convenience of dragging and dropping as well as seeing things right beside each other.
I can't figure out how to do it with PSE11.
What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I open Illustrator CS6 I can see the programs "behind" it. I see Illustrator's menu bar, the tools and panels around the edges, but there is a large space that is still showing whatever program was last used (mail, Firefox etc.) that fills the middle of my screen. By contrast, when I open Photoshop CS6, the screen is filled with a solid gray fill (as well as the menu bar, tools, panels) so other programs aren't visible. I'm running a 27" iMac and OSX Lion, so there's a lot of screen that's filled with stuff that has nothing to do with Illustrator. Is there some way to set preferences or whatever so that the other programs aren't visible when I'm opening Illustrator?
Also, I miss the welcome splash screen on opening AI CS5. At least the option is there when the program launched.
I've grown to accept that workspaces can't be simply exported from a previous version of AI and imported into the next one. So I painstakingly set up my workspace in the 32 bit version of Illustrator CS6, all the panels laid up over 2 screens in the way I use them most eficiently to suit my personal workflow, thinking that the 64 bit version would also have the same workspace available once I start it. Silly me! Why should I have thought things could be so straightforward? Well OK, they don't share workspaces - so how do I export my workspace that I saved in the 32 bit AI to the 64 bit version? That must be do-able surely - if we need to switch versions obviously we want to maintain consistency.
View 2 Replies View Relatedusing custom workspaces in Illustrator CS5. I already have a custom workspace that works just as I like, but I accidentally move the panels off of the sidebar nearly every day. Is there a way to lock the panels in place so that I can still open and close them (I use the icon view) but that will not allow me to panels?
In addition, I use Pantone colors on a regular basis and I would really like to be able to keep the swatch color book on the sidebar at all times. I've read before that checking "persistent" is supposed to keep the color book open, but each morning when I start the software I have to reopen the color book (and persistent is still checked). I'd like to be able to save the Pantone color book as part of my custom workspace, but I have tried several times with no luck. How to save the Pantone color book as part of my custom workspace?

I'm on a Mac and want my workspace to have a solid background instead of being able to see through it onto my desktop; similar to what you would see when first openning Illustrator on a Windows PC. Doing this also adds the minimize, close, etc. buttons to the header.
I open PDFs in Illustrator that were created in Autodesk Inventor. The default of Myriad Pro is applied and I would like to change that. I have made a new document profile and a new workspace, but the profile is only good for a new document. The workspace does not change the default type. I could save lots of time if I could change this behavior! I am working in CS6 on a 64-bit Windows machine.
Perhaps it is only a question of getting Illustrator to recognize Arial?
I just upgraded to CS 6 from 3. I do not like that Illustrator is dark gray. Is there any way I can change the view of it or am I stuck?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere must be a faster way to updated the current, custom workspace, without having to choose "Save Workspace" and retyping the same name! I constantly tweek my workspace and do not want to save multiple versions, I just want to update the current space.
I'd like to simply hold "option" as I select the current workspace name and have AI update that workspace with my current setup.
When I add color books to my color space, it never saves it, I always have to go back everytime I open illustrator to the Window>Color Books> XXX and add it to my workspace again, it didn't do this on my CS 5.5 but now CS 6 won't let it stay.

Say I have a circle. I want to grab I assume the top anchor point, and drag it down. The resulting shape would roughly be a fat U, or maybe like a mushroom head turned upside down. I thought it was hold spacebar and click but it doesn't seem to be.
