Illustrator :: How To Permanently Delete A Color From Layer Options
Oct 25, 2012
Is there a way to permanently delete a color from the layer options? Let me explain. When you open Illustrator or add layers the program seems to randomly select an "edge" color. So when you click on an object the outline is highlighted in that randomly selected color. Now I know that you can double click on the layer and get the layer options pallet and then select what ever color you want. But I have been using AI for over a decade and the straw has finally broke the camels back. If yellow shows up one more time….
I see I can make my own colors but can I delete yellow and half the other colors, from the pallet, for ever?

I'm running Lightroom 5 on OS X 10.8 and my photos are located on a network attached storage drive. When I delete a photo, I select the "Delete from Disk" option. Next it says:
Â
1 of these files could not be moved to the Trash. The files are on a volume that does not support Trash. Would you like to permanently delete them?
Â
The options are "Permanently Delete Files" and "Cancel."
Â
Is it possible to permanently bypass the "Permanently Delete Files" prompt?

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.

I work on lots of images and sometimes when I get them they new feature 'layer filtering' is set to on, and sometimes it's off. I want it to always be off but can't find out if that's possible. I continually have to disable it manually when it hides layers I need and it's getting frustrating.

Is there a way of locking a layer and have it fixed to the very top level of the layers no matter what other images, text etc are added?
Basically I have 2 lines that act as borders and i need these to remain ontop of whatever images i add sort of like a mask.

I added some new color swatches to a blank, new set.

Â
I would like this new set to appear as an option in the list of available sets.

I've saved it to the presets folder. I've tried every option to save/load. It just won't appear in that list.

Somehow I've turned off the color selection so that I don't have a color when I select a part of a drawing on a layer. The drawing area stays black whether I have selected it or not and I don't know how to turn back on the color.
Â
how I can turn on the color again so that when I select a line it changes from black to red or magenta or whatever?

Each time I open Illustrator, I have to open preferences and go through changing everything back to the way I like it and it's getting really old. How can I permanently save these settings? I've read this article: [URL] .... but I think it's for older versions because I couldn't find the Adobe Illustrator Preferences file, and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm on Mac OSX.7. I previously used CS4 and it saved my preferences the first time permanently.

AI CC on MacOS 10.9.x.The default font is Myriad. Surely this is not hard-coded, and can be changed. I want Helvetica instead.
Â
I know about changing the default in existing profiles and creating new profiles with my choice of font. Not enough! I want to change the underlying default, the one that is used when no profile is active.Â
Â
When is no profile active? Apparently this occurs when I drag a JPG onto the AI program or Dock icon. The import works fine, puts the JPG in a new AI document --which is exactly what I want to do-- but activates no profile.

I've looked everywhere for this answer and have found very little. What little I have found had to do with Windows, I'm on a Mac running Illustrator 5.5. This has bugged the crap out of me forever, how do I permanently add swatches to the swatch panel?

Returning to Illustrator after not using for a long time.
Â
How can I permanently show paths created for example by the pen tool when I create them with no fill or stroke attributes - for example a set of contours?
Â
If I set the view to outline (control + Y it does this but puts them on a white background meaning I can't see underlying layers.

My work involves importing in new documents and formating them correctly. We have a specific font style that is different than the original font. Illustrator cannot read those fonts, so it defaults to Myriad Pro in the original text size. Since it is changing it from Myriad Pro to Arial, I don't really have a problem with the global change that this would have.
Â
I already have the [Character Styles] options set up for a template, but this does not work on new documents.

We are on Windows 7 with CS6.

I have an imported svg file that I've saved to Illustrator 17.1. I can't seem to change the layer colors (they're all the same light blue) - the only options that come up in the Layer Options dialog are checkboxes for Lock and Show. Oddly, duplicating a layer seems to give the new layer a different color, but again I can't set the color of that layer myself.
Â
Really want to be able to do this, as I use layer colors to track their status (red = not even close to done, yellow = in progress, green = done in MY eyes, blue = done in the CUSTOMER's eyes).

Everyone at the office where I work is having the same problem with AutoCAD 2014:
1. When creating a new layer state, and selecting all layers and clicking "remove from layer state" and then "okay", upon going back into the layer state, about 80% of the layers have returned and you have to select all and delete again and hit okay, and then go back in and do it again, about 7 or 8 times total before the layer state is cleared out and ready for you to add back just the desired layers. Even if you don't create a blank slate layer state to begin with, whatever layers you delete, once you hit okay and go back into the layer state, most of the ones you just deleted are back.
2. Even more of a problem is that sometimes all the already created layer states will suddenly reassimilate ALL layers in the drawing, and the above process has to be done to all existing layer states.
This takes an enormous amount of time to correct for multiple layer states, which we typically have in a drawing.

I am currently working on a project which requires me to run a script several times, probably over 200 times. Ive been racking my brain serveral times over and cannot figure out how to have the selected layer be renamed by its color information. Ive also tried to maybe build a new layer command into the current action I am using, but i keep having a dialog box pop up which interrupts the rest of the action.
Â
Also, is there a way to automate an action according to a swatch. Meaning if I select a swatch can i have it perform the action and then move on to the next swatch in the list, or until the swatch list has been completed.

I am trying to grab specific spot colors and move them to separate layers for our cutting software. In this case I am trying to grab "perimeter cut" and move it to a layer called "tc 1" I get the following error when I try to run the script.
Â
 #target Illustrator
 var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ipath = idoc.pathItems;
if (ipath.typename == "SpotColor") {
if (ipath.spot.name == "perimeter cut") {
ipath.move(tc 1, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING).
}
}

What i do is use the direct selection tool and click an anchor and then click the eyedropper tool on that anchor point What is happening is the the outline color is being selected. So i found out Illustrator CS6 you have to hold shift while clicking the eyedropper. I tried that and still can't get the color of the underneath layer, the fill color stays white? Here is pic:
Â
As you can see in the navigator window, the shade of red is that of the outline and not the apple underneath the outline. I tried shift+eyedropper and white is the only color that get's sampled.Â

Okay my script to change text frame color changes the color of all text frames hidden or not.
I need it to only change visible text frames.
Â
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();
newCMYKColor.black = 0;
newCMYKColor.cyan = 0;
newCMYKColor.magenta = 0;
newCMYKColor.yellow = 0;
Â
[Code]...
Â
How to go about making it only change the color of text frames on the active layer? In the final script I will hide all other layers so if it could be done by a visible attribute more easily that would work just as well.

(I'm using photoshop 7)
For instance I want to 'drop shadow' on a specific layer with layer styles and I use angle: 30 degrees and 80 % opacity,..
then on another layer, I want to 'drop shadow ' as well, using layer options, but with angle 120 degrees and 30% opacity.
This doesn't work as when I use for one layer this type of setting for 'drop shadow' all the other layers that I want to drop shadow on, will automatically get the same settings (same angle, opacity,...)
Is it possible to drop shadow in one layer with an angle of 120 ° and another layer with angle 30° for instance..?

I've selected the right place for the question. I'm working on a vector image and feel myself confused about layer blending options. When I resize the file, the Blending settings for layers get disturb causing poor effects.

I go in blending options and do as he said in "Step 1: Build a Base" but I can't apply my newly created blended options to my layer.
Quote" Once you apply the changes to your rounded rectangle, you will have something that looks like Fig 1-4. "
Can't do that above? My button stays with the original color it was created.
