Cursor-size in Illustrator CC 2014?

I´m using Illustrator CC 2014 and the cursor is about the size of my thumb. How can I change that? And the general size of EVERYTHING? I work on my Notebook and would prefer to use my screen-space for my artwork and not for super large Panels.

Turn the Windows text size to something below 125%.

Hi,
This seems to be activation issue,
Please sign out from Creative cloud desktop app and Quit it.
quit all the Adobe applications
Assuming you're on Windows machine
Go to the following location and rename Adobe folder to old.Adobe
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming

Then try to launch Creative Cloud Desktop app and Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
and Launch Premiere pro, hope that helps.

Illustrator CC 2014 GUI/Cursors way too big on 1080p display

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop with a 1080p display and have the scaling set at Medium (125%).
Upon launching Illustrator CC 2014 (and Indesign CC 2014), the GUI is HUGE. It's like they are scaling at 200% even though I'm only at 125%. This might be good for a "Retina" or quad HD display, but for just an HD display, this just wastes valuable screen real estate and the cursors are comically large and not precise at all.
I tried disabling the DPI scaling by right clicking on the application, going to the Compatibility tab, and selecting "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" but it has no effect on what the GUI looks like. It appears as though Illustrator sees some sort of scaling and automatically assumes I want it boosted to 200% without abiding by what Windows is telling it to do.
Is there any way to turn this off and go back to no scaling at all? Or better yet, have it actually listen to the Windows setting of 125%?

Hi millerrh,
With Ai 2014.1 (18.1) update, we have provided an option in preferences to snap AI's UI scaling to snap to lower or higher supported scale. Since AI only supports 100%, 150% and 200%, for scale percentages which are not supported by AI. e,g. 125%, you can choose to snap to 100% to 150%, similarly for 175%, you can choose to snap to 150% or 200%.
You can also completely turn off the scaling if you so desire.

Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big.

Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big. There is no option to change it. Bug?

But no matter what, there has been some sort of UI font size override introduced in CC2014 that is making the Adobeverse buzz with dissatisfaction. Just out of curiosity, I just checked, and ALL instances of Photoshop are now unable to modify UI font size.... Below is CC2014, which we know about:
And here is CC2013 and CS5.1 exhibiting the SAME behavior:
It's quite clear that ALL copies of Photoshop are now locked into the same "tiny" font setting, regardless of in-app settings.
This is NOT related to Windows display settings (nor SHOULD it be), I can share additional screenshots later to show that, but my boss is getting upset that I have already had to waste this much time doing beta testing that HE is paying for.

Xavigarcia,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - Custom Crop Marks?

Hello all,
I've been looking for a solution to this problem for some time now, and am hoping to find help here!!
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - want to be able to customize how crop marks are created through Object>Create Trim Marks. Does anyone know of any plugins that could achieve this? Manually shrinking and shifting the crop marks takes too much time...
Thanks in advance to any contributors!

I know of no plugins for this.
The fastest way we found was to use Libraries.
1. Make one set of trim marks and save it in the library.
2. On a new document, make a box the trim size of your doc.
3. Snap guides to the 4 edges of the box.
4. Drag out the crop marks (double, triple, with registration marks, or whatever you created in your original Library item).
5. Snap each of four mark sets to the guide corners.
Voila.

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 Preview Window

In Adobe Illustrator CC 2014, when I use save for web- the optimize window which shows the preview does not show the exact size of the artwork at 100%, but from bottom drop down when you select 200% then it shows the correct size. Any idea how to fix this?

Update of illustrator cc 2014 using Creative Cloud for desktop fails permanently.

Hello,
I am trying to update the illustrator cc 2014 using Creative Cloud for desktop. The download fails due to error -60.
Yesterday I spent few hours on chat with a support repesentative, who directed me to ask ISP for download file size limitation. The ISP responded that there are no limitations of download file at all.
Any help with direct download instead of the desktop is appreciated.
Best regards,
Izidor

No you have not lost your work. You can still open the old project in CC. Providing you did not overwrite. CC14 project should read Projectname-1. Otherwise try an auto save.
Try this:
Error "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened"

Illustrator CC 2014 Cintiq Issues after upgrade?

I recently upgraded to Illustrator CC 2014 - and now I am having issues drawing with the Blob and Pen tools on my Cintiq. When I hover over areas where art exists the cursor freezes until I go to a blank area of the artboard. Off the art, even then, the response is sporadic.
I have deleted my Wacom drivers for all users, and reinstalled. Deleted my Illustrator preferences. Restarted. And finally, had to uninstall Illustrator and downgrade to pre 2014 Illustrator CC.
Everything is fine with my Intuos, it's just the Cintiq.

I have the same problem... did you ever figure it out?
I've got a 13hd touch but the issues you described are the same.

Illustrator CC 2014 - save for web cuts off image

In Illustrator CC 2014 when I save a vector image with a thick stroke (e.g. 20pt) while using save for web and clipping to the image (so not selecting clip to artboard) and scaling to e.g. 20%, then the edges of the drawing are cut off.
I'm not completely sure but I think previous versions didn't have this issue.
If I save the image at 100% no edges are cut off.
I suppose save for web uses the center of the vector line to determine where to cut off the image if the image is scaled down.
But it should use the outer 'edge' of the stroke to cut off the image.
Any ideas to the cause or solution?
P.S.: Yes, I'm a Windows user ;-)

I've ticked Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds
That would seem the right way to solve the issue but the problem remains.
Maybe the origin of the issue isn't because of the centre of the path / artwork size.
Since there is no problem (with or without "Use Preview Bounds" ticked) using Save for web while scaling at 100% (or higher).
The clipping only occurs when scaling down.

Character Panel isn't updated when selecting different type objects - Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 (october release)

If I have a Type Object selected that is, for example,
set to Helvetica, Bold 32pt size and 40pt leading,
when I select a different Type Object with entirely
different settings, the Character Panel does not refresh
to reflect the currently selected object.
This seems to happen more often than not - maybe 80% of the time.
My current work around is to change a value in the panel, then quickly change it back.
Current setup is a mac pro
OS X 10.9.5
Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 (october release)

Hi Marshal,
Try to reset the preferences to default:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. Your current settings are deleted.
Remove or rename the AIPrefs file (Windows) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs file (Mac OS). New preferences files are created the next time you start Illustrator.note: It is safe to remove the entire Adobe Illustrator Settings folder. This folder contains various preferences that can be regenerated.
Hope this helps.

Illustrator CC 2014 Links Panel Displaying Incorrectly

Hi,
I am having trouble with the Links panel in Illustrator CC 2014.
The panel does not display correctly, it seems to hide all of the link information and preview unless I enlarge the panel to a huge size.
Even if I resize the window it still displays incorrectly and hides all of the link previews. The same also happens when I hide all of the link information as well.
Is anyone else having this problem and / or has a solution?
Thank You.

Has a solution been found?I am actually having another issue with the links panel and the links themselves. Sometimes my links panel will not even show up when clicking Window>Links Panel. Whether it shows up or not, I can no longer work with linked images in illustrator. Simple clicking on a linked image inside a clipping mask causes illustrator to stop for about five minutes. Releasing the clipping mask takes another five. Moving the image behind the clipping mask takes another five along with re-making the clipping mask. It is certainly not the hardware because I can quickly minimize illustrator, make edits in PS, download a movie while playin iTunes...while illustrator is taking 5 minutes to move an object. I am truly stumped by this, someone please help as it costing me hours and hours of time at work.
