Add and Group Graphic Styles, Brushes, Patterns to Libraries - Request

The addition of cloud Libraries is fantastic; currently dragging any object in a library to a new document brings anything in that object such as appearances, graphic styles, brushes, patterns, etc., into that document along with it. Great!
I'm submitting a feature request that would evolve the libraries to allow for dragging brushes, pattern swatches, graphic styles, etc., into the Library of choice, allowing the designer to include all of these in a project library, for example. It would also be great to be able to group these together, or sort them, possibly into sub-folders if someone chooses. It would save a step of having to drag an object containing those elements onto the artboard, plus the user would be able to view distinct elements associated with a project (brushes, styles, etc.) for a more top level view of what pre-styled elements have been saved to the libraries. Thanks!
cheers,
Mark

How to deal with non-continuous shapes and graphic styles

I am not sure how to frame this question so I will try to describe the problem.
Imagine I have two shapes. One is a hollowed out circle (like a doughnut chart). The second is a smaller filled in circle. The smaller filled in circle is then poitioned inside the hoolowed out one, so you have like a target but with no "middle" band. What I would like to do is apply a graphic style to the COMBINED shape. The problem is that if I select both shapes and apply the style, each shape will have its own style, whereas what I want is for the style to be distributed over the two shapes as if they were one. And if I use the shape builder tool, when I join the two shapes, from the outer hollowed out circle to the inner filled in circle, I fill in the shape for the "middle band" whereas I want that middle band to be empty.
You can probably tell I don't know Illustrator and come from Photoshop. In PS, I would simply select my two shapes and apply a style. Since my selection forms a shape that ignores the middle band, the style applies evenly to the whole selection. Can I do something similar in Ilustrator? In reality my network of shapes is more complex that the example above and I do need to keep it a vector.
Thank you for your suggestions.

There are really two types of Graphic Styles - Object level styles and Group level styles. There is no way to tell which style is which. So if you have an Object level Style and try to apply it to a group of objects or often a compound shape, you get each individual object having the style. If you have a Group level style and try to apply it to only an object, you often get nothing applied.
It perhaps sounds like you have an Object level style and are trying to apply it to a group.
There's no way to convert an Object level style to a Group level style or vice versa. The best (and pretty much only) way I've found to get around this is to apply the style to teh correct level then make a note of all the style settings, select the other level and recreate the style for that level.
Whether or not a style applies correctly has a great deal to do with specific aspects of the style in addition to what level the style was generated from. This is a frustrating aspect of Graphic Styles.

Can't locate custom Graphic Styles

I created and saved some custom Graphic Styles in Illustrator CS4. When I follow the path of the default save location (Apps>Illustrator>Presets>en_US>Graphic Styles) they are not there. I have used Spotlight to search my machine for the files, but it returns no results.
I have created a new, custom location for saving Graphic Styles in the future, but I want to locate these "missing" files so that I can delete them.
Anyone know how to locate these files?
Can I locate and remove them from within Illustrator?
I am using Illustrator CS4 for Mac.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Mylenium.
I still don't see them.
User>Library>Preferences>Adobe>...nothing about Illustrator (Encore, Encoder, AE, Contribute, EXT Mgr, MediaCore ImporterProcess, OnLocation, Plugins, PProHeadlines, PPro, SB, XMP). I checked each of these folders and their subfolders with no luck.
User>Library>Preferences>Adobe Illustrator CS4 Library Settings>en_US>Flash 10 and FWAIPref>...empty.
User>Library>Preferences>Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings>en_US>...no folders and no Graphic Styles.
Weird.

Graphic Style that adds stroke without changing fill?

I'd like to assign a graphic style that adds to the existing style. For example, I need to add the same stroke to various objects that have different fills. Can I do that with a Graphic Style? I know I can group the object and add the style to the group, but this complicates the structure of the file. I would rather the stroke was just added to the object itself. I looked at "additive styles", but don't think they are what I'm looking for.
Thanks,

Thanks, Jean-Claude. You just made my job much easier. I used to think I knew Illustrator, until I met some of the people on this forum.

Graphic styles + pattern creator

I just finished a series of characters, all heavily styled using handmade textures which I applied via Illustrator's graphic styles. The goal was to create pattern motifs using the characters, but Illustrator won't allow patterns to be created using artwork that's already filled with other patterns. I initially thought I could expand the fills, but that isn't working either. Am I missing something?

You need to expand them and after that also get rid of clipping masks.
That's a lot trickier. If there are no strokes inside the patterns, you can try the pathfinder Crop

What is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

How to create a site and add security groups through code: scripts, csom, ... ?

Hi,
I'm new to CSOM and are looking for a way to create sites in SharePoint Office365 and especially add user to it with a specific role eg. 'visitor' or 'owner'.
I use this code to add sites from a csv file, so far so good.
But now I want to add security groups based on the csv file and assign a role. The security groups allready exists.
and also how to add a user with a 'owner' role for some sites.
That would make my life easier :-)
so thank you in advance!

Hi,
The command above about creating a group only works for the root site of the site collection, because the scope of the user group is site collection level, these groups
can be used in all the sites in this site collection.
With the existing groups in the root site, we can add users into them and grant specific permissions of a specific sub site to these groups.
Here is a demo about how to assign permission to a group using Client Object Model(though in C#) for your reference:

Do not duplicate the graphic style when you copy and paste a feature

I rely heavily on the use of graphic styles. However, when I copy and paste a feature that has a graphic style assigned to it, a duplicate of the graphic style is created. I sometimes end up with a large number of these duplicate graphic styles that I have to trash. This does not happen with the selection tool+alt shortcut for copying. However, I can't use this shortcut when I want to paste in front or paste in back, which is the case at least half the time.

Only advice I can offer is Option Left cursor, then right cursor, to make an exact copy in same position.
This will give you a clone as the action does form the previosu poster, but unfortunately no oslution for when you want to target layers.
If anyone else has any input on this here is how to reproduc:
New document, create a graphic style (eg: fill yellow, stroke none) and save
Close the document
Open the document
copy and paste the element with the graphic style, and with every paste multiplies faster than a tribble on Star Trek
I played with changing the clipboard options, no luck. Exists on CS4 Mac, CS5 Mac & PC, might go back as far as graphic styles do.

Add and send to group in mail

I want to send an email to a group in my address book so how do I add the group to the email and send it?

Hi Victoria,
You can't do this easily on the device, without an app to help you.
There are quite a number of group email apps available on the App Store. Most will only let you send email from inside their own app, but MailShot Pro creates special contacts that you can use from the Mail app and tens of thousands of compatible apps, building group email right into those apps.
MailShot can import entire groups from your address book with a few clicks, and turn them into a special contact.
You can find MailShot Pro at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailshot-pro-group-email-done/id445996226?ls=1&m t=8. A free app is also available, which can only create a few smaller groups, but can be upgraded.

Illustrator CS6 and Graphic Styles (Freezing)

Hi everyone, I'm on a Mac and have Illustrator CS6. Whenever I try to open up Graphic Styles, it freezes.
I deleted preferences and even did the disk permissions repair, then restarted. Nothing. I tried to create multiple types of documents too (print, web, etc), but whenever I try to open styles after creating that document, it freezes.
These are the vanilla default graphic styles, mind you.
It might freeze for other tools, but I'm not sure, haven't gotten that far in the investigation. Would anyone happen to have any ideas? :/ Thanks!!

Just got this issue (yet again). I tried something I use to fix certain Bridge glitches - unmount any disk called USERS. I don't know why, but my Adobe programs don't like disks with this name. Then, when you click on graphic styles, give it like, 30sec - 2min to load. You can even just browse the interwebs. The AI icon on your toolbar will bounce when it's loaded up and ready to use again. Also, make sure the Graphic Styles aren't displayed when you close the file, or it can be hell to re-open it at all. Don't know why, but I had this same problem with CS5.
Let me know if it works!!

Because when the processing of many things, but the effect is the same,

I learned how to install the 9.1.3 upgrade by renaming my app, and that works fine. Logic is now recognized in About My Mac as a 64 bit app, which is where I started. Thanks for your help.
Now I have to figure out how to get my Novation to work through Automap in some way that I can finally get mixer functions. I'll repost the second part of this if I'm still having a headscratcher about it tomorrow.
