Having problems turning on the scan option? All the options, whether live scan in objects of scan item in windows are grayed out so I can't select them. I am fairly new with this program and have been successful some of the time accidentally.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere in my office we have several pc's running Inventor 2012 and we found out that when a network license is unavailable (the number of licenses is exceeded) then Inventor loses some of its configurations on OPTION window. The fields that are erased and put back to default:
- "General" Tab >> "Load VBA on start-up" is set to false;
- "General" Tab >> "Update physical properties on save" is set to false and "Parts and Assemblies" is unchecked;
- "File" Tab >> "Default VBA project" is set back to default;
- "Contet Center" Tab >> "Location of Libraries" is set to default
- Customized buttons on Ribbonbar loses its icons and we have to recreate them everytime it happens.

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.

My problem is that the anchorpoints snap to the edge of the document even though I have turned of all the 'snap to' options I can find in the View menu and the tranform flyout menu.

I thought I saw a video demonstration of this at some point. Select the desired layer names and use some shortcut key combo - or something like that.
I made a typographic poster in Photoshop CS6 Extended (because I'm more familiar with it) and am wanting it to print in the highest quality possible. The size of the poster is 24'' x 36 '' at 300 dpi. I wanted to convert it into a vector so there would be no pixels. I've done this before with posters but none of them had any text and they turned out perfect. ou So my problem is when I did the image trace (high fidelity photo) it didn't turn out well.
Example of it before image trace:
After image trace:
The word "LIKE" doesn't look too bad but smaller words like "INSTRUMENTS" are the ones messing up. Is there any way to fix this? This poster took me a long time to make and I would hate to have to start over.
The eyedropper in Illustrator is turning everything to black. I used it just yesterday and it worked perfectly fine. But for some reason now when I use it, it is turning everything to black. So I have to change the colour manually rather than using the eyedropper to get a similar colour.

I'm not really looking to trace the image, just turn it into a square shape.
I am trying to make a crack wall texture effect on some text in illustrator cs6.
I have some crack texture photoshop brushes I really like, so I brushed on a blank psd canvas and saved it to PNG with transparent background.
I placed that in illustrator and image traced it so that it would create the paths for the cracked effect, but I can't seem to get it to make the paths for me.
I'm trying to do this so I can use the outlined brushes to erase the text layer with the traced crack png, removing the proper paths from the text layer so the text layer is now transparent where those cracks are.
I have an A3 sized times 3 artboard file that I want to save out at 300ppi so that I can print it at A1 without losing much quality. I do this every couple of months this will be the 4th time or so. Each time I run into this same problem and kind of just fudge my way around, but I'm not having as much luck this time and can't move forward to printing.
each sheet is a series of 20 coupons or so like seen above but when i export to jpg some of the coupons come out like this:
the white layers (there are two) both go transparent and the background paper image leaks through. as you can see in the after shot, in the upper right, some white is preserved (the shadow in a link file, but the white under 408 is an illustrator shape)
I've tried changing the white to 1%k or 1%c 1%m 1%y 1%k and things. usually fiddling with it like this in serveral random ways gets it to work eventually.
I am attempting to use the mesh too but when I click on my object it just turns it black and grayscale. I create a circle with a color gradient then click the mesh tool and when I click my objuect it just turns black and grayscale.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working in Illustrator CS3. Recently the program has begun to do something I have never notice before. If I use the round corner's filter: Filter>Stylize>Round Cornors then every box I create after using it has rounded corners that I cannot get rid of. Things drawn with the pen tool also have rounded corners I cannot get rid of. The only way to stop the problem seems to be to open a new document and then the tools are set back to their default without automatically rounding corners.
Who do I use the rounded corners filter on a single object at a time and not get to automatically be applied to all subsequent objects created.
I have applied simple gradients to shapes. When I try to select the object with the direct selection tool, it selects paths made from the gradient, not the object itself.

read in another discussion about turning off "align to pixel grid". can only find that in pull down menu: select, object, not aligned to pixel grid. it doesn't seem to be toggling off/on.
i've never heard of this issue before. i tried opening the file in cs5 and i had the same issues.
I've been working a good hour on a vector illustration and all of a sudden the "align to pixel grid" feature turned on. It's not selected in the Transform window. In fact, it's grayed out as an option. I restarted Illustrator. Same issue. I restarted my computer. Still happens.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Graphtec cutter CE5000-60 and it was connected to my old computer via USB and my old version of illustrator CS3 had the option (in the 'file' drop down menu) to cut out a vector illustration direct. I now have a new computer and have just finished installing all I need including the driver for my cutter. When I go into the new iullustrator (trial version of creative cloud)... there is not a 'cutting' option. I can see the cutter in the printing list... but this is not how it was set up originally.. it had an option apart that was not in the printing dialogue window.

I'd like to convert a file from RGB to CMYK. Normally, I can go into Assign Profile, and just select CMYK. However, in this case (actually hundreds of files), none of them have CMYK as an option. So, all the files remain in Untagged RGB, when I need them to be CMYK US Web Coated SWOP.

I'm having an odd issue in Adobe Illustrator. When I create a shape and go to rotate it by selecting the object and hovering near a corner, I'm expecting my selection tool to change to the arc with arrows indicating that I can rotate the object. This isn't happening, the arc is not appearing and my selection tool is turning into an anchor point selection tool.
