Illustrator :: CS5 / Random Crashes When Saving Or Previewing Work

Jul 23, 2012

I tend to get errors when I save my work in Illustrator. A few read as follows:
 
"Unknown Error"
"Can't Save Illustration"
"Not Enough Ram Available"
 
The last error I got read: "Can't finish previewing. There is not enough memory ID = -108" These errors don't happen all the time, but they occur often. And when they do occur, more often than not end up crashing Illustrator and can't save whatever I just worked on.

Here's what I've tried doing:

Cleared my Illustrator preferencesUninstall the whole Aodbe Suite > Run the Adobe Remover Tool > Reinstall Adobe SuiteRun disk clean up/defragmenterI get some of these errors even when I only have Illustrator and my browser open - no other programs are running except for anti-virus/malware software. 

Here's some trivial information about my machine and the file I'm working on:
 
RAM: 4GBThe file I'm trying to edit is 0.97MB and stored locally on my desktop (as opposed to a network drive)Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8400GS (up-to-date)Hard drive has 231GB of free space64-bit processorRuns DirectX 11

Illustrator SDK :: PSDExportPrefs Options Fails To Work In CS5

Jun 21, 2010

The following piece of code works fine in CS4 when I change the resolution and colormodel to differnct values, but fails in CS5.

The structure in both versions seems identical. Why it fails in this latest version?
 
PSDExportPrefs sExportPrefs;
memset( &sExportPrefs, 0, sizeof(PSDExportPrefs) );sExportPrefs.mResolution = 300;  //dpisExportPrefs.mColorModel = (PSDPluginColorMode) kPSDDefaultColorModelPref;
 //file nameresult = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, 'name', szFullFileName ); //file formatresult = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, 'frmt', "Photoshop PSD Export" );//file extensionresult = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, 'extn', "psd, pdd" );
//sExportPrefsresult = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetRawDataBytes( valueParameterBlock, 'parm',  (ASUInt32) sizeof(sExportPrefs), (const char*) &sExportPrefs );
result = sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent( kAIExportDocumentAction, kDialogOff, valueParameterBlock );

Illustrator :: Draw Lines At Fixed Interval Perpendicular To Path?

Feb 3, 2013

I need do draw perpendicular lines at fixed intervals to a path. The path may be either open or closed. This is used as a symbol on maps to denote a depression with the perpendicular stubs pointing in the direction of the depression. Ideally, I would like the perpendicular lines to draw themselves as I draw the path.

Illustrator :: How To Create Random Non Repeating Pattern

Mar 29, 2013

I want to create a pattern that does not repeat (as a backrground). I've tried using swatches but this just repeats the same pattern. If you look at this example below, the pattern (behind the hands, log, etc) looks completely random. How would I go about recreating this effect? Would I need to draw the whole thing manually?

Illustrator :: CS6 Deleting Random File Items

Jun 28, 2013

First of all, some details as to what we are working on:
 
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Illustrator CS6
Accessing files on a shared network drive
 
I have been working on a file for a number of months now with no problems at all. Right at the point of it being signed off today I opened it to prep for printing (outline fonts, check colours etc.). When I opened it I noticed a number of the graphics (embedded graphics, not linked files) and areas of text were missing. Completely missing. No text boxes, no sign of any images having been there, just GONE. I closed the file without saving and opened it in CS5 - neither the graphics or the text appeared in CS5 either.
 
Nobody except myself and the other guy has access to these files (nor the softare to open them). The file has not been opened since June 6th when I last made a change (and everything was fine!).
 
This is not the only file we have discovered this problem with - there was another occurence of this with a completely different file yesterday which we put down to a small glitch, but this is now getting worrying. Yesterday it was graph items, so we thought it was something to do with those. Today it is bog standard graphics and text (no font issues either).
 
Now, I have also noticed something else with this particular file - it is acting more like an imported PDF than an original Illy file in that items are linked together (un-linked by right-clicking and selecting 'release clipping mask'). I don't know if this could be related? It was definitely created from scratch in Illustrator, and none of the items were linked in such way, or imported from another file.

Illustrator :: Shapes Get Random Jagged Edges

Oct 9, 2013

I am working on a freelance logo and the client kept mentioning that my sample PDF's seem to have "smudge" on part of it, I never saw it and then I asked them to actually SEND me the file while I was not at my primary computer so I can look at it.
 
It seem that when you zoom in and out the shape changes and gets these random jagged edges.  I don't see them on my computer or phone and my client only sees them on her desktops but it does also print out with these weird edges as well.  I converted all type to lines and did an export to PDF to show her samples. The first image shows how it is supposed to look and how it did look when I first opened, the other 2 show what happens when it gets zoomed.  And it changes too, it isn't the same jagged edges every-time.

Illustrator :: Offset Path Random Shape

Jul 4, 2013

I'm doing an offset path command on a random shape and I need to repeat that in 4mm increments. I noticed that this command is far from accurate. To be as precise as possible I copy the base shape, paste it in front, apply the offset path command +4mm, +8mm etc (since the shape has round edges I chose round and a miter of 5000), and expand appearance. However, at 8mm expansion the round curves become pointy curves and therefore not mimicking the original shape.

Illustrator :: Apply Random Color To Group Of Objects

Jun 18, 2009

Here's my issue... lets say I have 600 different objects in illustrator (just little circles with a fill color, no stroke) and 6 different colors that these circles should be. That means, I'd like about a 100 to be one color, 100 another color, etc... Is there anyway to select all 600 and just tell Illustrator that I have these 6 colors and I want to apply them to the selected objects randomly?

Illustrator :: How To Create Natural Random Stroke Width

Feb 27, 2014

I do cartoons and I want to be able to use the pen tool, brush tool and/or even blob brush tool to draw.  I'm trying to draw a straight line that has a varied stroke width, so it looks like it's drawn with a felt tip marker or maybe a pencil.  The natural random/varied stroke width is what I'm looking for.
 
I see the "vaiable width profile" drop down box in the tool bar but I only see one option that looks like this (it says "width profile 2" when I mouse over it).  Although this varies in width, it's too consistent and doesn't look natural at all.  Is there a way to get a varied stroke width for straight lines?  I have a pen talet and have tried pen pressure as well but I've not found an easy way to do this.

Illustrator Scripting :: Random Delete A Selection Of Items

Aug 25, 2013

I am trying to create a script to specify a percentage of the selected items you want to remove.Here is what I have so far.
 
I still need to work out on the alert prompt and the if statement, but for now, I have the feeling that the selection.length keep changing each time Illustrator delete an object, and I don't know how to make it stick.
  
var selection = app.activeDocument.selection;
//alert prompt dialog for a percentage of deletion
for (var i = 0;  i < selection.length;  i++) {
    if (Math.random < 0.5) { //need to work out the percentage
        alert("yes")
        selection[i].remove();
    }
}

Mar 12, 2013

I'm using a mac running illustrator cs5 and have about 4 thousand eps files (all vector paths filled with black) that need to be assigned colors randomly from a defined color palette (25 custom swatches). The first 2 swatches should be omitted- they aren't relevant to this task.

Illustrator :: No Blending Options In Layers

Jan 3, 2014

I recently upped my opinion of Illustrator and was really impressed with how I could change the appearance in the layers panel.
 
Now unable to find it. Using a mac and CS5.5 when selecting drop down button it is not there any more. Layer options only gives silly basic options like the name of the layer etc. I just don't know what's happened.
 
Created a brushed metal effect and unable to save as graphic style. This layers blending options was excellent and I can't really use much of the program without it.
