Adding Unamaed Swatches to The Swatches palette

i have found the unnamed swatches and added to the swatch palette. after that i cant able to fount that particular swatch for the selected object. if i select a object in the document means, it can't highlight the particular color in the swatch palette..

It would be nice to have objects that can be manipulated and scaled properly. I like the way SnagIt works...

  • Illustrator CS3 crashes when selecting a swatch from the swatches palette

    Hello, i am using a G5 platform to run CS3. in any file i open or create, when i try to apply a swatch to an object, the second i select it from the swatches palette, my Illustrator crashes. In other words, i can't work at all.
    I've tried trashing the preferences, restarting the computer, nothing seems to work.
    Help?
    thanks.

    When trashing your preferences
    1. Did you first quit Illustrator?
    2. Did you trash the whole Adobe Settings folder or just the preference file?
    3. Did you run the color sync utility to see if you have corrupt color profiles.
    4. Did you repair the Permission with the disk utility
    5. Did you check to see if you have corrupt fonts?

  • InCopy crashes when adding a note using the Notes Palette

    I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Frequently InCopy (CS3 5.0.4) will crash when attempting to add a note from inside the notes palette.
    Using the Notes Palette is not always the most efficient. With the curser placed where I want the note (outside a table, of course), the New note option will be grayed out. I then click through the notes already in place and navigate to my current location. After that, the New note option appears. (I would use the Note Tool as a rule, but it is very challenging to place the note right where I want it.)
    I have noticed, that if I save right before attempting to add a note, InCopy will not crash. This may be supersition, however.
    If this matters, the files I am editing come to me via InDesign as InCopy packages. I am on a new MacBook Pro with 4 GB ram.
    I am just wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a fix in the works.
    Terry

    I've not heard of any kind of issue like this but I can tell you that CS3 will not receive any further updates.
    BTW, if you use the story or galley view, inserting a note is far easier.

  • I can't convert Spot Colors to CMYK in the Swatches Panel

    I'm having an issue where I can't convert spot colors to CMYK in the swatches panel. Currently to fix I have to copy elements using the spot colors in to a new blank document, then convert them, then paste back into the original document.  Is this a bug?
    Also if I try to delete the spot color, it doesn't fully delet the swatch.
    I'm using Illustrator CC 17.0.0
    I've attached a video of my woes.
    http://luniablue.com/adobe/swatch/index.html

    1. Double click the swatch in the swatches
    2. In the swatches options window select "Process Color" in the "Color Type" drop down menu
    3. Deselect "Global"
    4. Then change "Color mode" to CMYK if it is not already selected.
    hope this helps

  • Library deployment: installation inside the Labview Palette

    Using LabView 6.1 (and 8.2 but the question is mostly towards the 6.1)
    We want to  distribute our set of vi to our customers. 
    The first step we did is to package them inside llb.
    Now, we would like to have them inside their function palette after the install.
    Locally, we created the desired structure by copying the llb under the user.lib folder and creating the appropriate mnu files.
    Now, how can we distribute such a thing using an installer like Installshield and various flavors of LabView (6.1 and up) and in different installation path. 
    What is the NI recommended way to create and distribute libraries??
    Thanks
    EricG

    Gig52,
    I have not found an automatic way to distribute this functionality.  Please take a look at the following knowledgebase article as it may offer a different means to the same end.

  • Illustrator crashes everytime the Swatch palette is used

    So my PC Illustrator CS3 version crashes everytime when a color is picked from the Swatch Palette. Any idea?
    Thanks!!

    I would create a new user account and log into that ad see if it still happens.
    BTW have you installed any fonts recently or software or update any software?
    Try a new user and let us know what happens!

  • The Swatches palette default color names

    Hi,
    I'm using Illustrator CS3 and I have a problem with the default colors in the Swatches palette.
    Basically, every time I brush my cursor over the colors, I get names like C=85 M=10 Y=100 K=10 instead of sunshine, or C=75 M=0 Y=75 K=0 instead of peridot, proper color names that I should see.
    Please help me out to display the right name settings since it will be easier for me to do my work. My Illustrator level is basic as I only took an introductory course, but will get better as I intend to put many hours of practice.
    Thanks in advance.

    PeeWee:
    I am using CS3 and I'm pretty sure the colors in the standard palettes have only been called C=stuff M=stuff Y=stuff K=stuff all along. I don't think they have other names. Adobe decided against sunshine... ;). You could start a new document, change the color swatch names and save that altered file as a template, then use that from now on.
    If you were an advanced user, you could also locate the cmyk and rgb default files and change those.
    To change a swatch name, double click the swatch and change the name in the dialog that comes up, then close the dialog and voila!

  • Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4?

    Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4? What I mean is replace the swatches default colour palette with my own, so that each time I create a new document it comes up with my colours rather than Illustrators.

    You might also consider using color groups with Illustrator. Let me know what you think. It may help you out with projects that use the same color preferences.
    Check out the tutorial here:

  • Why can't I pull my pattern swatch from the palette to the artboard?

    This is a new problem that I have never had before.  I want to alter the colors of my pattern. Typically, I pull it from the palette to the artboard, change my colors.. re-select the entire patterns repeat and drag and drop it back into the swatches palette. None of my layers are locked and all are visible.  What's the deal?  (iMac CS2)  (I have loaded up other files with patterns in them and it works just fine!)  (I have also quit .AI and reloaded the same file with the same problem.)
    Thanks

  • CMYK swatches in CS4 Kuler palette?

    Wondering if I'm missing something...
    As a print designer, I love Kuler and having the ability to access Kuler through the Creative Suite. I've recommended the site to many of my co-workers and they've been using it too, but I have strong reservations about recommending it to any of our clients. With only RGB sliders available, when I add selected colors to my Swatches Palette in InDesign, they are all in RGB - not CMYK, which is what I need for printed design work. While my co-workers and I certainly know that we should take the step to change these RGB colors to CMYK, we are often working with novice clients who do not understand how to work with color (what we all jokingly refer to as the "camera ready" files). I'd rather not have to spend time cleaning up their files, so I don't tell them about Kuler even though I'm sure many of them would find it helpful. Perhaps I'm missing a crucial step myself, but I haven't seen a place where I can switch to CMYK sliders in the Kuler palette inside InDesign and/or load CMYK colors into InDesign. When I do web design in Flash and Photoshop, the RGB is great, as are the Hex values, but print isn't dead yet. Would it be possible to add this function? While we're on the subject, any chance of adding Pantone colors? I know that probably involves some licensing, but for print designers who still use Pantone colors on a regular basis, this could be a great help. Any print designer will tell you that Pantone has been around for a long time for a reason - Pantone color mixtures are predictable on press. Mixing up CMYK colors on your own can have interesting and sometimes unfortunate results. Thanks for a great site. Looking forward to further developments!

    I was there 5 mins back, then realized the below.
    Solution:
    Once you have made your Kulercolors/theme add them to your swatches, when the colors are in the swatchespanel selectnewcolors that are in RGB > go to swatch options > change color mode all at once to what you need.

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

    I saw your post today. 
    Moving the hosts file to the desktop will make it part of a roaming profile?  That's means that activation will occur from any computer that are part and available of my microsoft local network.  How can I make sure that the program I access is the one located on my local C drive and not in a roaming profile in maybe a cloud environment or from an unknown equipment with access to my network without authorization. I have only 1 laptop where I install locally the CS3 suit
    My host file has not entries on it and even when trying to copy to the desktop the activation can not be completed, same problem.  Days ago I used the trial option instead of the activation, after trying to activate the whole product as you mentioned in your reply, the trial period remaining got back to the original 30 days.
    I have recently noticed that I have a roaming profile with a workspace file different to the one I have on my local disk (3 files basic, panel and type).  On the roaming profile I see a directory for adobe illustrator CS3 settings \ workspaces \ AIWSPrefs file which has different entries than the one I have at the local drive.  Normally I do not customize a lot the workspace or safe the setting used, I load the brushes, swatches, etc manually from the location they are on my local drive so the swatches and brushes directories on the roaming profile are empty instead. Adobe Eureka and Kuler palettes exists on the basic local file not in the roaming one.
    The directories on my roaming profile are:
    Acrobat
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
    Adobe PDF
    Adobe Photoshop CS3
    Color
    Dreamweaver 9
    Flash Player
    Fonts
    Headlights
    Linguistics
    Logs
    LogTransport2
    Save For Web AI
    Updater5
    Workflow
    XMP
    Inside illustrator roaming directory, the following files :
    AI Color Settings
    AIAppResources
    AIMenuFaceCache
    AIPrefs
    Brushes
    Composite Fonts
    Graphic Styles
    IllustratorFnt.lst
    Kinsoku
    MojiKumi
    New Document Profiles
    Plug-in Cache.ARTX
    Plug-ins
    Print Presets
    Save for Web Settings
    Swatches
    Symbols
    Transparency Flattener Presets
    Workspaces
    In the above scenario, which workspace and other functions files will take precedence?  How can I avoid the roaming profile?
    Not being able to copy files from the roaming profile to my local disk, I wondering how this roaming profile was created and why the files are in there.   Those files have a date from last month, the local files were more recently installed.
    Your comments will be appreciated at your earliest.
    Thanks in advance

  • My spotcolors aren't displaying correctly. (Different from the swatch)

    I am having an issue that has just randomly happened where when I want to make a colour a certain spot colour from my swatch library fill a certain shape it DOESNT CHANGE the colour yet it SAYS IT IS ANOTHER COLOUR when I do a separations preview. I'll try to explain.
    The thing is is that it works to be changed to any other colour in my swatch library than the one I want it to be changed to. And this issue is only happening to ONE swatch in particular that I have not made any alterations to, and that has always worked perfectly. If I create a new document it will display correctly, but when I paste the shape into another document that has the same exact settings and spot colours it pasts as a different colour. (like the same as Top Black 2)
    I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH TOP BLACK 1 (these spot colours have not changed and I've always used them.)
    My shapes are wayyyyy too much to remake in the new document- so I have to copy and paste many layers.
    I'm sorry if this seems confusing I made up some pictures.  I am just using circles to show you my problem.
    Below is when I have made a new document from the same template I use and have always used. The spot colours from my library are seen here in their proper colours. (by the way I am not working in greyscale I still use actual colours. My document is CMYK)
    SO this happens vice versa if I paste  shape TOP BLACK 1 from an old document into a new or from a new document to an older one.
    Below You now see what I have copied from my brand new document (above) and have pasted it into my previous document and as you can see, my TOP BLACK 1 has now darkened now displaying as my Top Black 2.(or at least close to it) I CAN change the TOP BLACK 1 shape into any other colour, for example my working pink colour. But when I click it to be Top Black 1 it still stays the way it is shown here. I think you can notice that what TOP BLACK 1 is now is way darker than the Grey it's supposed to be in my library on the right. Circle 3 and 4 have correctly copied and pasted in the correct colour.
    Heres the other strange thing too. If I click and hold my TOP BLACK 1 swatch in my library (as seen above) and drag it to my main illustrator swatch library, it displays darker. The pink arrow shows the swatch that it has turned into. I am so confused of what it is doing.
    When I turn on my separations preview and turn off top black 1 all that i have that is TOP BLACK 1 disappears... so it is SEPARATING correctly its just not displaying on my screen as the correct colour.
    Let me know if there is anything else to explain. I have restarted my computer, reset launch settings etc. I only found one forum where a person has the same problem and it had a few suggestions of the appearance panel settings but none of that has worked. I have the most updated Illustrator CC
    Thankyou.

    1 appears to be the one that is off the most.
    2 is slightly off
    You may have an extra fill assigned at the group level that is overiding the fill at the Path level. Doubleclick on the word Contents in your appearance palette to get to the path level. To fix you can delete the fill at the group level, or simply ungroup  to break that attribute.
    As Larry mentioned, posting the file is the best way to get an answer to this one.
    If you cannot post the file, we will need to know what color document color mode, and the color type and values.
    You can also check this setting.

  • Indesign 5.5 I am missing my colors in the swatch window

    I've tried re-building prefs and can't add any colors. It seems to be the only window that doesn't work?

    [..] As far as the windows, I don't see any icon at the bottom. I also don't have anything in the sep preview window even tho I have colors on the page. I can make colors from colors palette.
    "Windows", no, the Swatch panel. You don't see these?
    In Separation Preview, it's possible to toggle individual inks off. Perhaps they are *all* off? Scratch that, it's not possible to do that in the UI.
    It's possible to set an entire layer to Non-Printing. Now that would show 'nothing'. In Preview mode and with Overprint Preview enabled the screen is blank, in Normal view you can see your objects -- but they don't appear in an exported PDF or Preview.

  • Cannot add patterns to the swatch pallete

    For some reason it doesnt add the vector graphic to the swatch pallete.
    I can drag it in to the pallete, it shows the "+" sign by the pointer when I drag it in, but it doesnt add it to the pallete.
    Anyone know why this may by?
    Thanks

    Which version of Illustrator are you using? What kind of object(s) exactly are you dragging onto the Swatches Palette? What happens if you go the Edit > Define Pattern route instead.
    Please describe in detail.
