suddenly my right click is not working with in illustrator. I can't select a line/shape and right click on it to see the arrangement or transformation options. the right click doesn't even bring up an option window at all. how do I change/fix that?
Ps. I have restarted the program several times, restarted my computer, I have even uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator.
Any thoughts?
I was working in .ai all day then decided (probably incorrectly) to update to El Capitan. Upon restart the issue started.
All other Apps work fine, Photoshop right click for instance. I have shutdown/restarted/zapped user prefs/updated Illustrator....
thanks!
This doesn't happen on Photoshop CC. It has recently happened on Illustrator CC.
If I create a file at 1:38pm, make a change to it, then save it at 1:40pm, it will show 'date created' as 1:40pm.
What si going on?
My computer was lagging, so I saved all my files in ID and Illustrator and closed the programs. Was working on several files at once. Restarted my computer, and upon trying to open one file in Illustrator, I was given the dialog
.
I've tried other computers and different OS, but none will open it. However, Preview on Mac will perfectly preview the file and I can place the AI into Indesign with no problems. I'm assuming this is a problem with the program and not the file, so any help would be appreciated.

I have CC libraries set up with color swatches, the library loads and works fine in other CC apps, but I am not able to apply color swatches from the library within Illustrator.
Does anyone else have this problem or have a resolution?

I am running a Macbook Pro with OS 10.10 and installed Illustrator CS4 a few weeks ago as my old mac's motherboard went bad. It has been working fine these past few weeks but today I tried to open Illustrator and it won't go past the initial screen that says Help Improve Adobe CS4 Products. None of the button are clickable and Illustrator menu is not showing. Photoshop opens fine. The only thing I did last night was update flash player. I deleted it to see if that was the problem, but I still can't get past that screen. Thanks for any help!
I get this nuisance error when exiting Illustrator CS5.1, works fine otherwise. Anyone know of a way to get rid of it?
I have a document with 20 Artboards. When I resize one it only changes that one. I'm in CS5. Is it possible to resize all artboards at once the way you used to be able to do in document set-up? Many thanks!
I have vertical text and I need to add perspective! HELP!
Hello,
I need to learn how to make charts and graphs with illustrator for a class project. I have watched several tutorials but, They click so quickly I can't keep up. I have little experience with Illustrator and I am finding it frustrating to get around in it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I've just picked up a brand new 6 core Mac Pro and I am having some serious lag issues with Illustrator CC 2014. I am just trying to select relatively simple objects (an illustration of the side of a coin) and there is a massive delay between when I click on an object and when it actually becomes selected.
Someone please tell me they know how to fix this? Please
Hi Guys,
I'm using the transform (effect) to create shadows, and the end result is adding too many steps, which slows down the processing drastically (as I prefer to 'expand appearance' and pathfinder unify these effects). Is there any way to to simplify these steps (top edge of shadow) using a process in illustrator? I've used path > Simplify, but it just distorts the shape at best settings. I need it more exact if possible, but not the time to create all of the icons by hand. So instead of the step look in this image, simple straight lines is desired as the images will be used at both small and large scales. NB: In this example, the shadows are quite simple, but in most, they are rather complicated and consume too much time to clean manually.
Thanks for any info.
I've created the 1P perspective grid, because I'm trying to create a hallway. (1st pic) I can't create the other wall (2nd pic)
OK lets say i got this columns and i want to scale them down or up but some reason i need the green columns to keep the same width so the only that changes is all of them heights but ONLY the width of the pseudo oranges
A few times when i try to open a file I get this message "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the request operation." Why is that? I can see a preview of the file in the folder but it would not open.
Hi, I'm having a strange new problem in Illustrator CS6. When doing something that has more than one dialog, such as "Save [a copy] as...", I'll either hit the Return or Enter key or click "OK", which leads to a secondary dialog (choose the parameters of the PDF, or version of Illustrator to save out to, or "Replace existing file?", etc.). This second dialog sometimes flashes quickly and is gone, as if I'd hit Return again or clicked "OK" the second time. I don't see this behavior in any other software. Is this happening to anyone else?
Hi,
one of the new features in AI CC 2014 is path handles ignoring any grid. However, when one wants to construct C2-contious joins between seperate objects, precise control over the handle position is needed. I do a lot of icon and sprite art, and there it is imperative that curves from differnent objects flow exactly the same to create a smoth transition between individual pieces.
How can one restore the ability of handles to snap to the grid like in previous versions of AI?
Reagrds,

When I draw the square why I can't see the top and bottom line ? (in illustrator cc )
I don't know if this could be more of a mess...
Mainly I want to know I'm doing everything on my end to better the situation, not make it worse, currently designing in CMYK MODE with CMYK colors.
I thought most of this was monitor issues until I sent the image of the design/athlete in draft, it was washed out and purplish, basically RGB monitor replicating CMYK colors... if I can see the color shift already the problem has to be on my end.
the run down...
I need to have images available for web and 'email-verification' while protecting their integrity for print.
Package design for print-CMYK
Renders for web-RGB
Do I design in RGB MODE for online advertisements and use CMYK colors to prepare for CMYK print, or just work in CMYK MODE entirely?
OR Should I just work in RGB until final conversion to CMYK?
I am going to assume that I should be in 'RGB Color Mode using CMYK colors..
1) To emulate the final result so the proofs don't appear more saturated/colorful than they will actually be
2) So the conversion from RGB to CMYK is accurate with little color shift
3) So the online elements/advertisements resemble the final product accurately in RGB
Also, the RGB image/photo of athlete was placed within the CMYK AI file and was exported and emailed for verification: remember - set up as CMYK - and it appeared washed out and the blues were purplish. How do I avoid these issues during the design process?
I have a client that is proofing images on monitors that are not calibrated, they send me screenshots of what the image looks like on their screen -I have so many issue with this.
1) the monitors are not calibrated
2) the brighteness/contrast will never be identical to mine
3) the same image looks different in the inbox vs once downloaded opened and viewed and sent back to me.
((the only 'positive' is that I can see what they want changed, but that is causing more problems the next time around))
FOR PRINT FINAL - I have asked for the final format/file of type/set up - requested by the Print Agency for verification of end process.
I don't plan on printing anything without getting a physical printed proof for verification first. and I already had to print one to show how using the monitors as a 'gauge' can get us in long circle of color changes that aren't needed.
I know it long and there are multiple issues going on, even if a few of you have specifics to assist and chime in that would be great!
Thank You!
Hi All,
I have been trying for the past hours to get the Illustrator setting from read only to read write. I own a Mac pro newest version.
I do not understand how to solve this with finder and Users/<user> path. My computer says it doesn't exist. My terminal said this as well.
What do I do now??
Thanks
