Illustrator :: Option-drag Selection Not Working In CS6 Layer Panel

Oct 20, 2012

Thought I'd force myself to use CS6 on a new project. I want to select multiple objects using "Option-drag", in the Layer Panel, but it doesn't work as it does in CS5.
 
Is there a different shortcut for selecting multiple contiguous objects using the Layer Panel, in CS6? Of course, I mean "Select" not "highlight".

Photoshop Elements :: Duplicating Layers - Drag And Drop Option Not Working

Feb 26, 2014

In my previous version of Elements, I was able to duplicate a layer (which was a picture) and then drag and drop a new picture into that layer. How can I do this with Elements 12, since the drag and drop option doesn't work?
 
I am using this for a "scrapbook" photo page, where there are multiple photos and text on the page.

InDesign :: Shift-Constrain / Option-Drag Duplication And Space Bar Hand Not Working?

Apr 13, 2014

I was having a few issues with shift-constrain resizing not working, and option-drag duplication not working, also using the space bar to move the document around the viewport.

OSX 10.9, InDesign 9.2.1.

I reset the preferences, restarted which failed to solve the problem.However once I updated my Wacom driver from 6.3.3 to the latest 6.3.8-2 that seemed to solve the problem.

Illustrator :: Drag Global Color Swatches From Color Panel To Gradient Stops In Gradient Panel

Aug 28, 2012

I 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.

Illustrator :: Selection Tool Suddenly Acting Like Direct Selection Tool During Click-and-drag

Aug 22, 2012

This morning, my Selection Tool (the filled-in arrow) is acting like a Direct Selection Tool (the hollow arrow), but only when I click and drag on a group.  It ends up select the anchors within the group rather than the whole group itself.
 
I've checked my preferences, quit and relaunched Illustrator a few times, and nothing seems to fix it.  The problem briefly went away a few minutes ago, but came back when I quit and relaunched for good measure.
 
It's happening in Illustrator CS 5.1.  I have CS6, and that version works fine, but I'm waiting on some plugins to be updated for it, so I'd like to use CS 5.1.  I'm also running the latest Suitcase Fusion 4.

Illustrator :: Remove Layer Option Color Option?

Jan 13, 2012

I cannot stand it when I make a new layer in Illustrator and the color hint becomes yellow. This usually happens on the third new layer into every project. I can go in and manually change it from yellow to the ten plus other colors, but I just want yellow completely out of the list. It's awful to look at, and I think every other color is easier.

Illustrator :: Keep Transform Panel Option Open In Toolbar?

Mar 19, 2013

I recently started working with Illustrator CS6, and noticed that the Transform option panel in the top tool bar is listed as a word, which i need to click on in order to access the x/y coordinates and the object height and width values. I was wondering if there was a way to set this toolbar so that these options are locked in the tool bar so that i don't need to always click on the word to expand it out. I have included a screenshot of the tool bar as it exists. Also the align options are set up in this way as well. 

I also included a screenshot of the same tools in Indesign to give an idea of what i'm looking for, where everything is expanded out.

Illustrator :: Why Won't AI Allow To Drag Selection Icon Into Live Paint Group

Jan 23, 2013

I routinely add paths to existing Live Paint Groups, by dragging a path that is outside the group, into the LP group. But AI won't let me drag the "selection icon" from a nested layer, into an existing LP Group. Why?

It seems I'm requesting the same action, but AI won't allow the icon to be dragged into the group. I have to either open the layer and drag the objects directly, or drag the objects into the main layer, then into the Live Paint Group. I think this is an interface flaw.
 
FYI… I realize I could jump into the Live Paint Group using Isolation mode, but that takes extra steps and makes the template less useful.

Illustrator :: Variables Panel Not Working 100%?

Dec 19, 2012

When 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).

How can I make Illustrator's layer-panel remember the opened/closed sublayers? I have a file with hundreds of layers, and it's a pain in the *** to do the sorting and opening/closing certain sublayers each time I open the file. Why isn't it remembering how I have set it up?

Illustrator :: How To Select Multiple Objects In Layer Panel

Sep 25, 2012

I want to select a few paths in the layerpanel by NOT clicken on every one. So for example I have the following structure:
 
Layer 01
     path01
     path02
     path03
     path04
     path05
     path06
     path07
     path08
     path09
     path10 
 
And I want to activate path03 to path09 for further modifications - I would have to select every single path by clicking on it in the Target column.
 
Is there a faster way like selecting path03 and than holding the Shift-key and selecting path09 ? <- (This obvious solution doesn't work)

Illustrator :: Select Multiple Objects Faster On Layer Panel?

Nov 1, 2012

Is it possible to select a few objects by "sliding a mouse", on layer panel? For example, you can hold down the mouse, slide to lock multiple objects. It's fast and easy!

But if I need to select, say, only red, blue, yellow stars... I need to click the â—Ž icons to select each sublayer. when I have so many objects to be selected on layer panel.

I use CS6 on Mac. Is there any secret shortcut key to select objects on layer panel by "sliding a mouse"?

Illustrator SDK :: Creating Art Present On Document But Not Visible On Layer Panel

Aug 9, 2012

Is it possible to create an art which is present on the document but not on the 'Layer' panel(F7)?
 
My requirement is to create an art which is visible on the document, but could not be seen on the Layer panel and user is not able to select it.
 
Just like it happens in case of reflection, when we are creating a copy of selected art object, the reflected copy doesn't present on the 'Layer' panel but it is visible on the document and user is not able to select the reflected one, while he can only select the original art.

Illustrator :: AI CS6 Layers Panel Missing Labels When Deselect Print In Layer Options

Oct 9, 2012

AI CS6 Layers panel missing labels when you deselect print in the layer options. Is this a bug? I noticed this on a furnished file at work on a MacPro and had a hard time working the file because all of the labels were missing.

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.

Photoshop Elements :: Drag One Image From The Bottom Panel Over To Another Picture

Jan 6, 2013

Why is it when i drag one image from the bottom panel over to another picture(solid color) i will only get 50% of the image and not the full image. Same thing when i copy and paste that image over the gray solid colored image also i will get only 50% of the image.  The original image of the cat(full view) is about 24.79%  and picture is 11.733 x 15.644 in size.  the other image (solid color) is at 43.63%  or 6.667 x 8.889". size is in inches. Do i have to resize the images and if so how as i am a stupie in this matter. The images are aligned side by side on the main panel or display.I am trying to place the cat over the gray background image  and with a layer mask delete the present baackground of the cat to uncover the gray of the bottom layer.
