I'm having this issue where the Measurement Labels have disappeared for no apparent reason. The option is still checked in the preferences. This happens both on my home comp and office comp. Both using CS5. There's a way to get it back but you have to delete the preferences file and reset all your preferences.

View 12 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a basic question, but in the control panel area, where it shows the measurements of an object created, the default measurement is in inches. Can I change that to display milmeters? I am aware that it can be changed in the rulers, but up where it says X, Y, then width and height, it shows inches. I want to view it in milimeters, because I am doing a project in milimeters. How do I do that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Illustrator CC and recently I have noticed that I can no longer snap and aligh objects to each other (with the automatic highlighted green color, which shows you the center, intersect e.t.c). As well as the Live corners aren't present, after pressing Direct selection tool nothing changes. None of the settings were changed, at least I was ticking snap to function back, but it didn't change anything again.
why I just can't see the Live corners? I was also able to see the green lines between shapes before, but now it isn't working at all. I am running it on Windows 7.
I was working on a project and using Smart Guides, but suddenly, they disappeared. I don't know what I did, the Smart Guide box is still checked in the View panel, and if I open a new document, they work just fine again. what other settings I should check?

View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday while I was editing a project in After Effects I used the command-E within AE to open the selected filein my AE project in Illustrator. Everything was fine, I was able to move things across all exisint layers without changing the file layer organization structure. When I went to save the file, everything seemed to go fine and the asterisk went away indicating it saved the file. When I went back into After Effects, AE told instantly gave me an error: "After Effects error: File exists but couldn't be open for reading: "/Volumes/media/CRISP/Motion/_AIs/dining room.ai"/ (3 :: 0)". But when I go into that exact volume destination, the file is missing and I can't find it anywhere. The volume is a server on the network I use here at my job. The server has never had issues with deleted files or not being able to save files onto it. It is always on and connected.
Despite AE telling me it exists still but it can't open it, I can't find the illustrator file anywhere on my Mac or media server. I've done advanced searches with hidden files being visible and I've even looked in a couple hidden folders ".ExampleHiddenFolder" and I still can't find the file with a matching name or extension. I've even tried use the command-option-shift-open within Illustrator to see if I could open any visible file. I just can't find it anywhere and I don't know why Illustrator would just go and delete my file. Yesterday the Recent Files within Illustror would indicate that I had recently opened a dining room.ai file but when I would click on it to open it to try and recover it, AI said it couldn't locate the file. Now today the file history doesn't even show up in my recent files anymore (it is still the last file I opened in AI).
the rows/cells disappeared for my data in a bar chart in Illustrator CS5.5.The first number shows up but then I have to keep hitting tab but they are not divided into visible cells any longer.I usually see rows and columns like in Excel.

I run on Adobe Illustrator CS5
How do I fix this? I've gone through view settings so far, without success.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have adobe CS5 and when I opened my software today, I discovered my swatches were gone from my tool bar. They are not entirely gone because I can get to them from my swatch libraries, however, I cannot drag and drop these swatches into my toolbar in order to click on them. I am trying to use the pen tool to draw a simple shape and the only swatches that come up is the none option (the white box with the red line going through it) and the registration, which I admitadly don't know much about.
I am using a Mac. I cannot figure out how to draw my shapes without a fill and using a black outline.
Where I can find the button to add data labels to a column graph?
These are the numbers/percentages that appear at the top of the column once it's been generated so you can see that is was say 50% or 60%.
I have a single file with couple objects on different layers. When I copy/paste into other files, the objects seem to be grouped and layer information disappeared. Can I move around objects with layer setting as well?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a small black box that follows the cursor around when you are repositioning an object with the mouse (click+drag). It is often covering an area that I need to see in order position something correctly.
These are the labels I'm referring to circled in red:
I don't see an option anywhere in preferences, nor is there an option to hide these labels in the View menu.
Adding prefixes and suffixes like the percentage sign, degrees, currency and other units to Illustrator graph tool Axis labels is relatively easy: you go to Object > Graph > Type then Value Axis then fill in the Prefix and Suffix boxes under 'Add labels'.
There doesn't seem to be any way, however, to add such signs and symbols to the labels that show column totals on each column in a bar or column chart.
Adding prefixes and suffixes to the value axis labels - works on the axis, but isn't repeated in the column total labels.Adding characters to the text that defines the labels (the %02 etc that is grouped in the design that is then applied to the columns). Adding anything past the 3rd character seems to simply break the link with the text and the data (e.g. adding a percent symbol like %03% just prints %02% in each column, as does adding it in quotes, after paragraph breaks, etc)Adding the prefix or suffix in a separate point text item doesn't work because you can't predict the length of the column total and because it won't apply any kerning with the adjacent character.I can add the symbols in manually, but it's time consuming, and has to be re-done every time the chart is refreshed.
logical equivalent of a feature that exists for axis labels.
I find the default interface in CS6 difficult to read as the menu/tool labels seem very small to me. I can manipulate via Windows, but then the fonts in the windows of all my other apps are too big.
Is there a way to change the size of the fonts in labels in the user interface within Illustrator itself? I thought there used to be a way in preferences some where, but that was a long time ago - maybe even pre-CS?
I know we all feel the difficulty in how ancient the graph / table tool in Illustrator is.
But, is there a way to display Data Labels on the front of my stacked bar chart?
See attached image - this is what I want to achieve.
We'll be getting a laser engraver, and have been considering Illustrator to format the designs. Some of our engravings will include serial numbers. So I was wondering (having never used Illustrator) if I could create a file containg, say 10 identical engravings - except for an automatically incrementing serial number (I would set the first serial number, and the 9 others would follow). The 10 engravings would be applied to 10 similar parts simultaneously.

I stumbled on the cause when I turned on the Print Layer and all the labels came back. To be sure it was not computer related, I made a file on my AI CS6 version 16.1.0 with the same result. See screen shot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn some of the Photoshop "Extended" versions, there was a function in which one could apply a known measurment to an image and then determine other dimensions in the image. For example, if one were designing a sign for a building and shot a picture of the building with a known 5' doorway, one could use the measure tool (or whatever it was called in that function) to tell Photoshop that the doorway was 5'-0" wide.
From there, after you laid in the sign design, and used the measure tool on the sign image, Photoshop would tell you the dimensions of the sign based on the scale you set with the doorway. Now for the big question: One, does that function still exist, and two, if so, where do you find it?
I'm recording measurements (gray value) in a selection, using the "record measurement" in the measurement log panel. I need to repeat this over thousands of images. I've written an action that opens the images one by one (batch process), records the measurement and closes them.
However, after exactly 700 measurements, Photoshop stops and says that it cannot record this measurement. I've tried this with CS4 and CS5 (extended) as well, and I get the same result. why Photoshop measurement log has this "700 entry" limit?
when i make a new image how many pixels/inch must i use for the measurments to be exact?
The reason I ask is because i have to crop a picture to an exact size for use as a pasport picture.
the picture is 1.7 in. X 2.13 in. but when i place it in a new 4X6 it takes up nearly the whole document
