Disable extra control points when selecting objects

The new control points that Illustrator has when selecting an object (in addition to the regular handles), how do I disable or hide them? I am working on artwork with many small pieces and these are REALLY getting in the way of moving and adjusting them. Looked through preferences and don't see a way to do it (for that matter, what are these annoying things called?)

Crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object

CS4 InDesign crashes consistently when control clicking a selected object. Preferences have been reloaded, the program has been reinstalled, all without any effect towards this issue. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it was InDesign Hangs when right clicking on graphic.
There was a lot of head-scratching and the rather unsatisfying conclusion was when the OP removed ancient applications that might have been a choice for "Edit Original," then the problem went away.
I guess the conclusion is that right-clicking on an image iterates over the possible apps that can open an image (for Edit With and Edit Original) and does [something], and for some reason that [something] was hanging. Not clear what the app was. But presumably if you right click the file in the Finder and look at the list provided by Open With, it is similar.
Or you could try the suggestions I offered to the OP in that thread that it looks like he never used.

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Very slow when selecting objects

I have a problem with illustrator CS5. Whenever I select an object on the canvas by clicking on said object Illustrator freezes for a few seconds (showing me the spinner). This happens whether there is 1 object or 50 on the canvas so it certainly has nothing to do with the number of objects. Oddly, if I click on the canvas and drag-and-select objects this does not happen; they are selected immediately. Of course most of the times I forget this and have to wait constantly because I accidently selected an object directly, which is extremely annoying and almost to the point of unworkable.
Anybody got any ideas about how to solve this?

Many reasons, to help narrow it down create a new document draw one lement and let us know if you have a slowdown.
Reset your preferences.
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when restarting AI on a Mac or Alt-Crtl-Shift on a PC to reset to the defaults.
Flush Cache (Good for slowdown)
delete users\(username)\library\preferences\com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist

Too much undo (control+z) when aligning objects

Sometimes control+z undoes too many actions when I am working on aligning objects. I suspect this is useful if you move a single object a bunch of times with the arrow key (and maybe is an intended feature of the undo function when aligning objects), but most of the time for me it moves the last handful of objects I moved to their previous locations. That's not help. Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks!

v7.1

Hi Joe,
I didn't mean "align" as in one of the specific alignment function from the menu bar to be used on a group of objects.
For example, if I highlight an object and move it with the left arrow key 10 spaces, then I highlight a different object and move it in some other directions, using the shift+arrow key 5 times, and I continue this on any number of objects, all of the objects from all alignment operations, back to the last time I perform a completely different action such as creating an object, move back to their original locations when I press control+z one time. I would rather just the last object I moved return to its previous locations.
Thanks,
Greg

5.5 hangs when selecting objects

I run a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz and 8gb RAM.
When I click on an object - image, text frame - or page in the Pages panel - there is a big spike in CPU usage (e.g. 3% to 60%) and the whole machine hangs for about 5 seconds before the frame indicates it has been selected. It doesn't do this in CS3 or CS4, and didn't do it in CS5.5 when I first installed it, but it did do it before I upgraded from 4 to 8gb RAM, and before I moved from Snow Leopard to Lion, so it doesn't seem to be an OS/memory problem.
I know there have been similar posts, e.g. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2885091, but none of the suggestions has worked. I have:
- turned off Preflight and Redraw
- rebooted
- re-installed the program
- reset preferences
- reformatted the hard disk and installed the new OS
- quit all other program, closed other ID docs, and ensured RAM and CPU were not overused
- kept at least 15gb free space on the startup disk
- tested it on large docs (200 pages, lots of images with complex effects) and on tiny ones (one page, one small text frame)
The behaviour remains about the same whatever I do.
Acrobat X has been even worse, e.g. selecting a page or opening a tab or even opening a drop-down menu takes 5-10 seconds. It has been like that since the first install, and re-installing has made no difference. (One day it worked well, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing different.) Acrobat 9 used to work fine, but now it is behaving like X.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Well I'm pretty sure it did the same under Snow Leopard; Acrobat X was certainly just as bad.
I do happen to have EPSes (and PNGs) in the file I'm working on now as it's an imported Word doc created by someone else. But it does the same in docs with no images at all.
What would be the best way of converting the EPS files to .jpg? Bridge/Camera Raw doesn't seem to be able to convert them at all. Preview and Photoshop won't even open them, saying they can't parse the PostScript. I can do them outside Adobe by batch converting with Adapter or somesuch, but it breaks the links with the files so I'd have to spend ages relinking them.
By font management I assume you mean opening the .indd file from within a package containing a 'Document fonts' folder. I wasn't doing that most of the time but have just tried it now and it makes no difference. The current fonts I am using are:
adler.ttf
Bookman Old Style
Calibri Bold.ttf
Calibri Italic.ttf
Calibri.ttf
Cambria Bold Italic.ttf
Cambria Bold.ttf
Cambria Italic.ttf
Cambria.ttf
Century Gothic

Times New Roman Bold Italic.ttf
Times New Roman Bold.ttf
Times New Roman Italic.ttf
Times New Roman.ttf

Verdana Bold.ttf
Verdana Italic.ttf
Verdana.ttf
How do I check if they are corrupt?
Anyway, that wouldn't affect all documents would it, just ones using the corrupt fonts?

How to remove/hide 3d object template (start point) when making object transparent

When making 3d object then making it transparent i still see form of witch i made it.
How to remove it?
I made square then from it 3d object and made it round so i could put on it beer botle label BUT when i put latel and then make transperancy full then i still see square from witch object is made.. Its still showing up. Why or better- how to remove it? Cant find any button to click it off.

I'm also not so sure I understand what you're trying to do.
If you share an observablecollection then removing an item from that collection would remove it from any ListBox whose itemssource was bound to it.
I get the impression that might not be what you want though.
Hope that helps.
Recent Technet articles: Property List Editing;
Dynamic XAML
for example：i have 3 listboxs，binding itemssource named list1,list2,list3
in my way
<ListBox Height="138" Margin="58,30,60,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}" ItemsSource="{DynamicResource list1}">
</ListBox>
<ListBox Height="138" Margin="58,30,60,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}" ItemsSource="{DynamicResource list2}">
</ListBox>
<ListBox Height="138" Margin="58,30,60,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}" ItemsSource="{DynamicResource list3}">
</ListBox>
in ListBoxItemStyle1 the method textBlock_MouseDown,i have no way to get the list correctly because the 3 listBox's ItemStyle is the same.if i can get the lists from listboxitem,i can use only one style

Selecting Objects in Illustrator - selecting objects only completely contained within your selection box

Hi
Macbook Pro, Illustrator CC 2014.1.0
When selecting objects in Illustrator using a selection box created by dragging a selection tool, everything that the box touches gets selected. On programs like AutoCad, there are options to select only what is completely contained within the selection box. This can be very helpful. Can one do this in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance

I use Illustrator pretty often but I'm not at a level that I understand scripting. Maybe I'm out of luck then.

Mask control point 'HUD' type info-can it be disabled when editing points?

I find that the control point info often obscures crucial parts of the image that I'm trying to mask, so it would be helpful to disable this info.
I've tried toggling various overlay options in the view menu but no luck as yet. Any ideas? Thanks

No, you cannot. And thank you. I thought I was the only one who was bothered by that little tool tip. I've never found a way to shut it off.
The only real think you can do is zoom in closer until it doesn't obscure what you're trying to see. For masking operations, I've become very adept at using the zoom tool (Z). Click and drag right to zoom in, left to zoom out, then just hit the tab key to go back to your regular selection tool. Works great for masks and other precision work.

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.

How do You See Anchor Points When Object is Unselected

Hi, In Adobe Illustrator is there any way of viewing the anchor points of objects permanently even when an object is unselected? So you can see where the points are when you are making shapes with the pen tool. If there was, this would make it a lot easer to place the points on existing points of other shapes without having to guess where they are. Thanks for you help Gareth.

Oh no! I just noticed when using it, that it is not as useful as I thought, because if you want to put a point anywhere near the 90º or 45º line from the last one it forces you to put in on that line, it's great that it lets you see the points on the other shapes but too bad it makes you do that. and you can't turn off smart guides while making a shape because it stops that shape and starts a new one. That's a bit annoying, so it's still easier to do it without smart guides guessing where the points are and correct them later with the white arrow if you missed any. Thanks for you help though. Gareth.

Control key not working when selecting multiple photos for email

Okay, I can't seem to send more than one photo through email no matter how I try to "select them." I am able to select the photos from the photo library. I see the little scrolling screen at the top of the page and then use the control key to select the photos which appear in the larger screen beneath. The problem is, is that I can't send all of the pictures through email, it thinks I am only trying to send one. When I look at the big screen with the pictures I have selected it looks like only one is highlighted and no matter what I try (the control key, shift key) it won't select them, it pops up with an picture editing function. Is my iphoto screwed up? Help!

Okay, I tried both. I clicked <done> at the bottom of the screen and the scroll bar at the top disappeared and then I just see one large photo. The only thing that happens when I double click on the large photo is that it comes back to the scroll bar at the top again, or vice versa. Does that make sense? I'm seriously wondering if my software is screwed up. My husband finally was able to send multiple pictures via email by creating a slideshow and selecting the pictures that way. (iphoto help says you are not able to select pictures to send through email through a slide show....go figure.) I still need to get out of this mode and don't know what to do! Any other suggestions?

"error when importing object" when selecting variant

Hello,
we recently migrated from 4.6 to 4.7.
For some programs, when selecting a variant, this gives a runtime error, like
Error when importing object "C131A2"
What is the cause of this? Because the values in the variant aren't valid anymore?
How can this be solved?
Thanks in advance for the help

Glad to help - you'll likely have to run it after every upgrade (for different reports).
