Anchor points and paths not displaying!

When I create a new shape, the anchor points and path are not visible. How do I make them appear? I don't see them at all in any shape I create....

Hi JJMAck,
The problem isn't with selecting a path or anchor point, but rather seeing them at all. I watched a tutorial video, where the user chose the rectangle shape tool, created a rectangle, and the path and anchor points of the rectangle were visible. When I create a rectangle, no path or anchor points are displayed.....
Any thoughts on that situation?
Thanks!!
John
What you saw in the tutorials is how newer versions of Photoshop work older Photoshop versions do not display the points and the way shape layer are depicted in the layers palette is also different.
What version of Photoshop are you using?
While CS6 is close to CC it does not show the points and there may even be differences between the PC and Mac versions of Photoshop.

[newbie] Sharing anchor points across paths/shapes? + Pen visual feedback? + Show all paths?

Hey all, as stated I'm a newbie at Illustrator. Any help's appreciated. My questions:
1) Is it possible to have anchor points be part of more than 1 path? I want to have 2 adjacent filled paths that share anchor points, so that if I move the common edge anchors, both shapes are affected. Kinda like in Flash, I suppose.
My guess is this is impossible though? Then how do people working with Illustrator a lot tackle this problem? I mean adjusting 2 shapes with several common anchor points (not shared, just in the same position), for adjacent shapes.
2) Is it possible to set the Pen tool to give visual feedback like in Photoshop when moving the mouse to a new position to add a new anchor point? What Photoshop does is show the path segment that would be created if you were to click at the current mouse position, whenever you move the mouse. Illustrator doesn't show this with me right now, so I'm left to guess what the exact path segment will look like when I click (less convenient imo).
3) Is there a way to always show all paths on the current layer, even if they are not selected? And I do NOT mean Outline mode, I'm aware of that. The problem I'm facing is that - when working with multiple paths - I want to see them all when adding a new path, so I can easily align anchor points and what not with the other paths, but I do NOT want to hide the image I'm tracing (which would happend in Outline mode).
Thanks in advance.

You might get what you re after using Live Paint. Here I have drawn an oval and a wavy line — two paths. After converting to a Live Paint object I can selectively fill and stroke any closed area or and segment.
No.
Put the object or image you are tracing on a Template layer. Or Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) click on the eye next to a layer name to change only that layer’s view mode.

Anchor Points and Intersect Guide Lines Disappeared

Hi! I must have hit some type of command on my keyboard but now my anchor points and intersect guides have disappeared that would normally appear when I roll my mouse over the anchor point or the intersecting paths. I have hit Ctrl + H as well as went to the menu manually and my edges are showing. How do I turn back on this ability to see my anchor points and intersecting lines guide in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!!
Edit: I run on Adobe Illustrator CS5

Is View > Smart Guides turned on? If not, enable it.
If Smart Guides are already turned on, check if Align to Grid is enabled in the View menu and turn it off.

JPG files copied to Philips Picopix 3410 are currupted with a prefix of ._ and will not display on the PicoPix

JPG files copied to Philips Picopix 3410 are currupted with a prefix of ._ and will not display on the PicoPix. Help please?

There are a couple of ways to remove these items from the drive.
One is with the $15 shareware app, BlueHarvest. It will remove the AppleDouble files from the drives you want the ._ files removed from, and has an option to prevent them from being written to non Apple formatted drives in the first place.
But the free and pretty easy way to do it is to use Terminal. From what I can see in the manual for your projector, you can only get images to it on either an SD card or a USB flash drive. So I'm going to assume a USB drive for the following.
Plug in your MS-DOS formatted drive so it appears on the Mac desktop. Open Terminal and enter:
dot_clean -m
Enter a space after the -m . Then drag and drop the icon of your flash drive into the Terminal window. It will fill in the path of the drive. Press Enter. All ._ files will be removed from that volume.
Actually, I think it removes all files that start with a period. None of which are of any great importance on a DOS formatted drive. Such as the hidden trash for that drive. The next time you plug the drive in, OS X will simply recreate it.

Too many anchor points, and simplify messes up the pic

I'm making a picture and I have a problem - I need a maximum of 2000 anchor points, and I have about 11k.
Seems like I have a lot of unnecessary points, but when I try to simplify the picture gets all messed up. Any other way to fix this?
Here's part of the picture, you can clearly see that a lot of the points don't have to be there..

It looks as if you have a lot of areas with the same color inside itself...
And/or different colors hidden by overlaps.--which is exactly why I said the Merge Pathfinder will probably reduce the number of anchors. There is no need to tediously select objects of same color. Merge unions adjacent areas of same color and removes hidden areas of overlap in one move.
Photo of a heart...
That could be anything from a valentine to a medical procedure photo. You need to show what you're working with.
This picture project is such a huge pain in the *ss...
So is trying to help someone, blind.

I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct. I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX. Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start. Any ideas, folks?

First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
What version of FCP X are you using?
All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc. When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

The user guide says:
Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
also appear only in landscape orientation.
Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

Path with anchor points and bezier control handles

I have a text, not converted to outline. Live text.
I am using IllCS4.
That is cool thing about hovering the cursor above the text and see hidden path and anchor points only when you hovering exactly above them. But I want them be visible permannently, while I am applying some envelop distort changes. Then I want to turn visibility off. And how to get permanent visiblity of bazier control handles at the same time?
I am lost.
Tx

Yes, thank you,
that is great thing, but when I use it, I see outlines (like a wireframe) of image only.
Is there any way to see still image as it is and switch on visibility of object' path with all control points?

Show not selected anchor points (and connect)

Hello.
Every now and then I have the problem in Illustrator that I want to connect two anchor points with the pen tool. The two anchor points belong to different objects. Is there any way to always show all anchor points. Today I have to select one of the object to see the first anchor point I want to connect. And then hovering the point over the plaece where I presume the second anchor point is located until the mouse icon indicates that I have the pointer at an anchor point.
A second question: Is there any way to connect more than two “lines” to an anchor point? I.e intersect and connect an anchorpoint in the middle of a line with a third anchor point.

Almost.
My thought was that if I could see all anchorpoints of all objects, without selecting the objects. Ie. se all "white" anchor points, when I select them they will become "filled/blue".

Can't adjust anchor points of path when keyframes enabled...

I have an irregular shape layer that I'm warping over time (smaller to bigger). I'm able to adjust the anchor points of the path to the shapes I want—but once I set the two keyframes of the path that I'm interpolating with a slider, I am no longer able to adjust the anchor points to do minor tweaks e.g. I'm unable to pull out the bezier handles. If I disable the keyframes then I'm allowed to adjust the anchors again but that means I have to start over every time I need to make an adjustment. I've successfully executed the concept but need to tweak multiple shape layers in this fashion and not having access to the anchor point bezier handles is slowing down productivity.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

As I said before, and if you look closely I have keyframes on the paths, you have to carefully roll over the right parts of your path and make sure that the path is selected and not the shape. It takes a bit of getting used to. You are probably selecting the entire path. If you press the U key twice to reveal the path and the keyframes, select the path, press the G key to select the pen tool, then roll the pen tool over the path you'll see a pen with a plus appear. move off the path and hold down the Ctrl/Cmnd key and you'll see a white arrow. Click and drag around a vertex and now you have selected a single vertex complete with the handles.
You can also do this with the selection tool (V) but the procedure is not exactly the same and I think a little more difficult. If the entire path is selected then you cannot select an individual point, but if you hold down the Cmnd/Ctrl key and move off the path you'll see the cursor change to a white arrow. Click off the path, then you can click on a vertex and get your controls back. I much prefer using the pen tool because it allows me to draw around multiple points and transform them quickly, gives me more options though the modifier keys of Alt/Option or Ctrl/Cmnd to change the tools and generally work much faster, but you can use either one.

Entire DIV (text and images) not displaying in IE7 & IE6, says Browserlab. All other browsers OK.

Please help. I am baffled. I have created this small web site here and Browserlab shows that when using IE7 & IE6, there is an entire DIV that is not displaying at all. All other browsers seems to be OK. I have removed all 'position' attributes, with no Z-indexing on anything. I floated the top left section (to the left) and then floated the top right section ( to the right). It is the section to the right that is not displaying.
Here is a pic for most browsers. Everything seems OK.
And here is a pic showing Browserlab in IE7;
What could be causing my display problems?
Many thanks for any help.
Dave F.

Thank you. I had changed (and saved) the positioning to get rid of the absolute attribute. But for some reason, the change did not actually make it into my CSS stlye sheet. I had to manually code in the floats to left and right.
Then my problem was solved.
Now I just need to find out why my changes are not being properly saved in the CSS style sheet.
Thanks again! You definitely led me down the right path. Much obliged.

Anchor Points and handles disappearing in Illustrator CC – Windows 8

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help.
This is becoming a consistently re-occurring issue for me, and it's not specific to any particular file.
The bounding box is visible, so I have a blue outline and blue "anchor points" at the end of each line, and I can even use the new CC round edges option, however I have no anchor points to do any resizing, and I can't hover the black arrow tool just outside the edges of a shape to quickly rotate it.
It's not a case of going into preferences/view and turning on bounding box and/or show anchor points (Ctrl+Shft+B) nor (Ctrl+H). This seems to happen to me randomly but consistently, on new or existing files, and there's no rhyme or reason to when it happens. I could have been working on the file for 2 hours or 2 minutes and it can just kick in.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Probably worth noting that I also have CC on my Mac and I tend not to see the issue, it happens occasionally but nowhere near to the same extent as the Windows version, and I've experienced the issue occasional on older versions of Illustrator also, so it just seems like an inherent issue on these versions rather than the inhibiting barrier it's proving to be on CC Windows.

Anchor points and paths not displaying!
