How do I get the rotate tool to default locate the pivot point in the exact center of an object or group of objects?

My new copy of CC has the default pivot point set to one side, rather than the center. I know I can manually move the pivot point around, but this is not always exact. Is there a way to have AI determine the exact center and then make this the default?

s,
We are not talking about the Reference Points in the Transform palette, are we?
In any case, you may consider the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Using the rotate tool and hand tool at the same time in CS6

    When using the rotate tool, you used to be able to use the hand tool even when the Rotate dialogue box was up. Is there a way to get that back?
    I make Mandalas (http://www.behance.net/gallery/Mandala/2700497) and work from the center out. This poster is 18"x24" so once I start to get to the outer edge, I'm zoomed into the center at 6400% so I can get my crosshairs as precise as I can, then enter a number (45 degrees, 20 degrees, etc.). Clicking Preview helps, but if you're zoomed in and the object is out of view, you have to guess where it's going. In CS5, you could press down the space bar and use the Hand Tool even while the dialog box was up. Is there a fix for this? (Sorry if this doesn't make sense...it's kind of hard to explain over a forum.)

    CS5 on Windows 7.
    I can use the hand tool while pressing the Space bar while another tool including the Rotate tool is current. But I can not use the Hand tool in anyway if I'm in the process of using the Rotate tool by holding down the mouse button or dragging with it.
    While the Rotate dialog is displayed I can not do anything outside of it in any way.
    I can use the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll the view up or down vertically while using any of the tools including the Rotate tool but not when a tool dialog is open.
    I'm curious if others experience different behavior on a Windows system .

    Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4.  How do I get my old fonts back?  Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts.  Dell Precision, Windows 7.  Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own?  If so, where are they in the directory?  A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program.  Please help.  If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them?  Thanks.

    All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS.  Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
    I don't do windows myself.

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
    Also see:

    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

  • How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

    This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

  • How do I get a 0 to display when a count = 0 (zero)? (The cell is blank)...

    (Running Business Objects Release 2 (Web-I), No other reporting modules)
    How do I get a 0 to display when a count = 0 (zero)? (The cell is blank)...
    In my reports, I count the number of tests of one of our products and another count on the number of failures.  I then use a simple formula to give me the defect rate percentage (DR%)
    The universe objects used in the calculation are:
    Assembly Number (dimension)
    Human Sn (dimension)
    Test Code Description (dimension)
    I created a variable (called [Count Assys]) that counts the number of Assemblies Tested:
    Formula: =Count([Assembly Number];All)
    Another variable (called [Failed Count]) counts the number of failed tests:
    Formula: =Count([Test Code Description];All) Where ([Test Code Description] <> "FUNCTIONAL TESTS PASSED")
    NOTE: There is a "not equal to sign" between [Test Code Description] and "FUNCTIONAL..." above, but the forum is blanking it when I preview the message.  Not a big deal, but it may be important for someone looking to help...
    I then have a third variable called [DR%] that divides [Failed Count] into the number of [Count Assys], which yields a number formatted as a percentage.
    Formula: =[Failed Count]/[Count Assys]
    The above works great! 
    The problem is: when I have a zero defect count (everything passes), the cell is blank, so the percentage variable remains blank.  I want a zero (0) to appear if nothing failed so the percentage appears as 0%
    I've searched this forum completely and have tried several Properties changes and different variable strings (like =If([Failed Count]<1,0) and the cell stays blank and cannot come up with an answer.
    This one seems simple to me, but everything I've tried has yielded zero <smile> results.
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Hi Charles,
    Use [Dr%] Variable formula as =if(IsNull([Dr%]);0;[DR%])
    Here IsNull returns the Boolean value of variable [Dr%] if its true then inserts 0 else the percentage values of failed tests based on the  total number of assembly tests performed.
    I Hope this is what you want to achieve....
    Thanks....

    Carmen,
    If possible, deauthorize any computers you still have physical access to that you know you had previously authorized to play your iTunes purchases.  Otherwise, you can always use the Deauthorize All option described in this article.
