Illustrator :: CS6 Keyboard Increment / Cannot Set It To .0001 Inch
Apr 25, 2013I cannot set it to .0001 inch, when I do, it automatically changes it to .0002 inch. I've been able to have a nudge factor of .0001 inch since I can remember.
The two images I'm including show my .0001 being typed, then when I switch fields it shows it going to .0002, why won't it stay on .0001 inch?
Photoshop :: CS5 - Any Way To Change Keyboard Increment Of Text Size
Nov 28, 2013Im using Photoshop CS5. This being the 12th version of Photoshop. I still cant find a reason why they have not put the adjustments for keyboard increments in text or leading like In design and Illustrator has. I mean, Photoshop engineers have concluded for themselves that all designers in the world increase or decrease typography in 2 pts?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Regain Keyboard Focus From Extension
May 9, 2013Have a lovely extension. Such a pretty panel. Useful. Except there is a bug using FlexUI. If you click a flex panel it grabs up keyboard focus and will not let it go unless you click somewhere else. This may be a Mac thing. You can see this behavior in the built in "Kuler" extension. Select object. Click on Kuler panel. Hit delete. Object doesn't go away.
Now scouring the intarwebs I've seen a few posts describing this issue, but no fixes for Illustrator. If people know, they ain't telling. I aim to fix that, but first I need to find that answer.
Actionscript is just plain slow anyway, so I have my extension logic running from a Javascript. If there was some command in that script to give Illustrator back keyboard focus, even if it's a hack (such as invoke action), now that would be something.
Test it by using Kuler and running the script from Illustrator. The act of switching between ESTK and illustrator will fix things, but obviously you don't want to switch applications in the middle of a task.
Illustrator Scripting :: Get Keyboard Cursor (caret) Position In JavaScript?
Oct 24, 2013How can I get keyboard cursor(caret) position in javascript?
I made a multilined edittext in ScriptUI.
But It's not working about Enter key.
All I want is when I push 'enter' key, begin a new line.
If I know how to get keyboard cursor position, I can insert ' ' character in middle of sentances.

Illustrator :: Default Increment For X And Y Values In Control Panel?
May 17, 2012Is there a way to change the default increment for the X and Y value boxes in the Transform area of the Control panel? When I have an object selected and want to move the object by clicking the arrows beside the X and Y boxes the object moves 1/8 inch for each click. Is there a way to set that to 1/16 inch for example?
A screen grab is attached showing the area on the Control panel in question. I've checked all the Preferences settings I can find but haven't found this one yet.
Illustrator :: How To Make Smallest Increment When Moving Object
Nov 28, 2013I'm working in a file zoomed fully to 6400%. I've changed the Keyboard increment to the smallest it will allow to 0.0036 mm.
I have two lines. Line 2 sits on line 1, a fraction above. When I select line 2 and press the down arrow key, it jumps so that line 2 is now a fraction below line one. I cannot get the lines to sit perfectly onto of one another.
I have tried to move the line using the mouse, but it snaps to the same position as the keyboard press.
I have turn off snap to grid, snap to point, all the guides, smart guides.
Illustrator :: Identical Engravings - Increment Labels (Serial Number)?
Feb 19, 2011We'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.

Dec 18, 2012I'm try to automate the importing of the Varaible and datasets into my graphs via Scripting, but the ImportVaraibles() function doesn't seem to work. Here is my Script, mostly copied from the example script provided with Illustrator (CS5). And, this works manually, using the file names in the script, via Load Variable Library
Set appRef = CreateObject(strIllistratorVersion)
'Open the file and import the datasets
Set docRef = appRef.Open(strTemplate & "200-500.ai")
'docRef.Datasets.RemoveAll
docRef.Variables("Yearbook").Delete
Here is the problem, after I delete the previous library, then this next line, right from the example, does nothing
The script then exits with 'No Datasets in this document'
docRef.ImportVariables (strXMLFolder & "Lumber_200-500.xml")
'appRef.DoJavaScript "alert('Template:" & strTemplate & strRange & ".ai | XML file:" & strXMLFolder & "" & objFile.Name & "^')"
If (appRef.Documents.Count > 0) Then
Set docRef = appRef.Documents(1)
[Code]....
If I remove that delete line, the script runs, but just uses whatever Variables I had last loaded, not the XML file.
It's simply not loading. What do I need to do to get it to load?

Jan 26, 2013I have an aluminum blu tooth mac Japanese keyboard. The tilde key is shift+^. I tried to use the tilde key in illustrator to duplicate the drawing of a shape. But shift constrains the shape to be drawn from the center. So I remapped the tilde key to be on top of the ^ key so I didn't need shift, and still no go. I tried all the keys on my keyboard and can't get the effect of multiplying what you are drawing.

Dec 5, 2012I'm trying to set up a keyboard shortcut in Illustrator using the "control" key and I get the error message "The key pressed cannot be used as a shortcut." I really want to use the control key because, 1) it matches a similar shortcut that I use in Photoshop, and 2) all similar shortcuts are already in use. I'm confused as to why Illustrator won't allow me to use the ctl key in shortcuts, yet in Photoshop it works fine. I'm using CS6 with OSX Mountain Lion.

Feb 14, 2013I find myself typing quite a bit of text that has the ® and ™.

In InDesign there is a keyboard shortcut for this. Is there ANY way to do the same thing in Illustrator?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Keeps Switching Keyboard Language?
Mar 1, 2014i'm working in Illustrator, suddenly the Z becomes Y instead and all other signs are somewhere else - it basically changes language keyboard. I work with a swiss german keyboard but my program language is english. My regional preferences are set up correctly and no other applications give me this grief except Illustrator. I'm forced to shut it down and re-open, then the keyboard is back to its correct state, until it switches again.
I don't understand what causes it to suddenly switch keyboards while I'm working - how I can make Illustrator STOP it? It's especially unnerving since the Undo command Ctrl+Z gives you Outline mode instead.

Aug 9, 2013So, after installing CS5 in 2009, it's now 2013, and my keyboard shortcuts are gone. Well. All of the useful ones such as copy, paste, new, open, etc. Save for Web is still working, and a handful of commands I don't use are working, but not the ones I use all the time. I look in the menus for the commands for copy and group and such, but there's no shortcut assigned. And I've been looking online how to fix this, but everyone is saying go into Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and voila. The only problem, is my Edit menu doesn't have a Keyboard Shortcuts option, and I can't figure out why.

Aug 28, 2013I love using keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator but since I've upgraded to CC Illustrator on both my computers acts as if the keys are covered in glue when trying to use keyboard shortcuts.
I'll hit the keyboard shortcut for the rectangle tool for instance...hit the keyboard again harder, nothing, strange I think and hit again harder, again and again and on the 8th or 10th time it suddenly works. This is repeated on most keyboard shortcuts on and off, not every time.
This is consistent and new since CC upgrade across both machines.
Illustrator :: Keyboard Shortcut To Jump To Artboards?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Snap To Grid And Keyboard Increments
Feb 5, 2013Cannot make snap to grid to work, tried the following and while trying I came across another issue. If align to pixel grid is unchecked when opening new documents then snap to grid does not work, but the smart guides don't work either. They appear only when the align to pixel grid is rechecked in the transform panel. Now no snap no smart guides either.
Is there another option other than in preferences for the snap to grid to work or the smart guides to work?
Also, I set my grid to lines every 10mm subdivisions every 1mm and my keyboard increments to 10mm so why then does my 10x10mm no stroke no fill square move 11mm with each keyboard stroke? Set this up so that the object would then snap to the grid, but it does not, whether or not the align to pixel grid is checked or unchecked either way it does not work.
Latest lion latest illustartor update, in the wishful thinking that it would fix it, but still have the same problem.
deleted the cache too still nothing.
p.s I do not know what changed, but it used to work before

Illustrator :: Keyboard And Mousewheel Combination For Zoom?
Apr 9, 2012I have a problem in Illustrator when navigating around the artboard.
By default, if I want to use zoom function I press Alt key and zoom in or out using the mousewheel. When I am satified with the zoom level I release the Alt button and top navigation is activated. See what I mean in the picture below:
Let's say I have the Type Tool activated and I want to access the Selection Tool by using shortcut the V key. Instead of Selection Tool I get the View drop down menu from the top navigation expanded. Then I have to click away or choose the Selection Tool with the mouse.
This has been bugging me for a while now as it slows the work. Also, I have checked the Preferences trying to change the keyboard and mousewheel combination, but I haven't found it.

Apr 12, 2013I've just bought a new laptop (because my old laptop fell apart) and have installed Illustrator on it. For some reason, the keyboard shortcuts aren't working properly. I can't use the spacebar to get to the hand tool, and every time I use a shortcut to get to any other tool, my cursor pauses for a moment before I can move it again. I'm running CS2 (I know, I know; just don't have the money to upgrade) on a Windows 7 system. I specifically sought out a computer with Windows 7, because that's what my old laptop had, and Illustrator ran beautifully on it. This problem is really going to negatively impact my productivity.
