Draw Layer Tool...Nothing

So, I've been using Dreamweaver for about 3 years and have
never run into this problem before.
When I am in 'Design' mode, I click 'Layout' and then choose
the 'Draw Layer' tool. When I go to draw the layer on a blank
page...nothing. I mean...nothing. It won't draw a layer. It worked
great on Friday, but I get to work today and nothing.
Anybody know what could have caused this? More importantly,
anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!!

What DW and what OS?

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop. Video driver update?

Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running system 10.6.7.
Hi there. Recently, I've been having issues with the tools. There's a distinct DELAY in the live drawing. For example, if I open a random image, take the pencil, paintbrush, or even eraser tool, and I draw a large line across the image, I don't see anything. If I zoom in or out 1 click, I see the line. If I draw ANOTHER line, same thing - I need to zoom in or out to see it. With all of the tools. I've never had this issue before and it's incredibly frustrating (that might be an understatement as you can imagine - I use PS daily as I am a full-time designer.) Any ideas or solutions? I've already TRASHED my preferences and reset the tool. If it IS a driver issue (which is weird, because this issue just recently started happening) I contacted the driver manufacturer (AMD) and was told:
"Unfortunately, Apple does not authorize us to release drivers for their products.
All drivers are provided to Apple who then customize and release them to their customers.
You will need to contact Apple to obtain the most current drivers for your product."

You are correct - only Apple can deliver display drivers to you. That's what you get with a Mac as Apple wants to be your "one stop shop" for support..
Just curious: Are you painting with large brushes and very small Spacing values? That can cause some delay, though it normally catches up on its own - you don't have to do anything to make it happen.
Have you tried disabling OpenGL Drawing in your Photoshop Edit - Preferences - Performance menu. Restart Photoshop after making that change and before testing.

How create new draw layer in Spreadsheet View Multisim Symbol Editor ?

Hello,
I would like to know how create new draw layer in Spreadsheet View Multisim Symbol Editor ?
I am interested in this to create a contact or switch with 3 positions (one in and three out).
So ... ??
Best regards

Hi,
I am not really sure what you are trying to do with a new layer but the spreadsheet was hard coded and you cannot add a new layer. In the Symbol Editor, there is a rectangle with dash lines, this is the symbol boundary and you can select Edit>>Resize Boundary Box to make the boundary larger/smaller. Whatever you draw must be inside the boundary, you can only place pins outside the boundary. The switch you created will not toggle in simulation, only the switches in the Master database can do this, R&D have to program them to toggle.

It is actually using an ActiveX control. I don't have the control but I was able to do the down convert over in your other thread. http://forums.ni.com/t5/Version-Conversion/Convert-this-vi-from-LV2012-to-LV2111/m-p/2896610/highlig...

Hi Kevin
I found a YouTube clip explaining how to blur the background with free draw bezier tool and it also said to invert the mask, but it still does not track forward. I really hope there is a solution.

How do I get my draw cloud tool to activated ?

Can anyone help me get my draw cloud tool to activate? I have a license's version of Adobe Acrobat Pro

What context are you attempting to use it? Are you in Standalone Acrobat? If yes, then
1. Go to Edit>Preferences>General
2. Set the Touch Mode to NEVER
3. Click OK
Now you should be good to go.

Adobe XI Pro - Drawing Markup tools not accessible

My drawing markup tools - clouds, polygons, and connecting lines are "grayed" out and not accessible. All my other tools work. I am using Windows 8 on a desk top. Any iseas on how to fix this?

You need to disable touch mode.

Basic Drawing/Painting tool failure

The following tools are refusing to work correctly. Yes, I am resting my tools at the tools Option bar. Resetting the tools is now SO common I'm think of adding a hotkey.
Brush: refuses to work unless I reset it nearly every time I come back to it,
Erase: Doesn't work even after I reset it.
Curve [cmd+M]: Doesn't work on pixels if my selection is partially an alpha.
These are basic building blocks of my workflow, in digital painting, sketching and creating masks. I understand when advanced features need retooling and updating, but these tools NEED to work. Please test these more thoroughly, next time. While I appreciate a lot of the features of the Creative Cloud, 50$ to 70$ a month is a lot to ask when your core products are working less well than their open source alternatives. You are really making a case for GIMP or Affinity.
Does that sound ludicris? It does. I can't imagine trying to do any production retouching in any of those applications, but currently, the suite I rent for over 600$ a year, doesn't work consistently when I need it to work.
Creative Cloud is only a deal when it functions. If I cobbled together a bought and paid for or open source alternative it might look like this: Inkscape, GIMP (or Affinity), Motion (which sucks... but Blender could make it better), Final Cut Pro, Logic... I'd be screwed without InDesign, but I could make it work. This all sounds like a huge headache, but it's currently a BETTER deal when you break core, basic features in flagship applications.
If you are rebuilding the thing from scratch, fine, but TEST it. I know you guys don't like Macs, but A LOT of you customers use them. Either support the hardware or DON'T.

My previous computer came with a program called OmniGraffle, and I have found it to be great. If was not pre-instaled on my new MacBook Pro, though. It's not free, unless it happens to be sitting on your computer already and you're not aware of it.
There's a quite good, but complex, vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator called Inkscape... the downside is that it isn't a native Mac app. It's a Unix app and requires X11 (available on your Mac OS X install disk as an optional install). There's also a similar program (also requiring X11) that is more like Adobe Photoshop called Gimp.
Hope one of these can help you!

Looking for third party drawing/handwriting tools

I am looking for a faster tool to add hand written/ drawn notes to pdfs without having to open them in photoshop. I am familar with all the standard tools in acrobat, but am wondering if there is anything else out there as third party plugin.
Thanks!

I have installed airport express and it lights steady green. But when I use the airport tool, nothing can be found.

I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?

Hi,
I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
Now it works perfect.

How to enter coordinates when drawing Pen Tool?

Hello and immediately apologize for my bad English.
I have a question - how to enter coordinates for a point that has been applied to a drawing? For example:
1 point
X = Y = 37 cm 22 cm
2.point
X = Y = 38 cm 35 cm
ETC

Can you give any details on this?

Draw Circle tool

I am currently working myself deeper in the techniques of drawing and painting with Photoshop and while drawing I always encounter one problem: Drawing a circle. There are several workarounds for that:
* Select circle, Border1 and fill
* Make a circle as a form and place
* Make a circle as a brush and draw it
* Make a circle with a pass and fill path with brush
But all of these seem to me just like workarounds and hinder me in my workflow. My suggestion would be a more simple, more fluent way. Photoshop can draw lines vertical and horizontal to the screen, my suggestion is not very different. My proposition is:
* Hold a desired hotkey (like q or something) over the complete operation
* Click where the midpoint of the circle is supposed to be
* Click and hold again in the desired radius and draw your circle.
This would work like drawing a line, you just draw a circle. This would give the user full control over the brush with sensitivity. That would be first of all faster and more intuitive than all the listed ways of drawing a circle and as mentioned you wouldn't lose any control over your brushsensitivity and options, while you can just simulate pen pressure with path filling.
Thats it for now, any comments or amendments are welcome.

Ok, and how do you envision drawing an ellipse, a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, or any other shape with the current brush?
Using down more buttons?
That's why you receive workarounds, because your FR is not "doable" without taking care of the myriad of sub-requests that you did not envision...

Not able to draw a layer

I'm new to DW 8.2 and I'm studying from a couple of books. I
have an issue that I can't seem to resolve even after extensive
research. I'm using a Mac running Tiger.
When I try to draw a layer on either a new doc or one that
already has some content, there's always an insertion bar blinking
at the top left of the doc. When I proceed to draw the layer box
(Insert Panel—Layout—Standard—Draw Layer
Button—drag to draw) anywhere in the doc, instead I get a box
as deep as the insertion bar and as wide as the browser. Also the
new layer does not show up in the Layers Panel. However I do see
next to the body tag a new tag <div#Layer1>. I can click the
box to select it but that's it. I don't see the Layer box with
corner handles to resize or move.
I've already spent a considerable amount of time trying to
resolve this (preferences, tech notes, forums, askjeeves, etc) w/o
any luck.
Does any one out there has a clue as what is going on?
Thank, Jose

It's not a layer really, but you can do much of what you describe if you use a button to display the page as the button's icon. You can make it any size you want and choose from several scaling types. You can also flatten the button when you're done to convert its appearance to regular page contents.

Layer Naming in Adobe Draw

Why can't you tap and hold to rename a layer in Adobe Draw? Why have names on layers at all if all the layers are the same name?
You know people want layers, you support them when you use "Send to Illustrator" but you don't give the user the ability to rename the layers? They all have the same "Draw Layer" name for what reason? This is absurd behavior.
One one hand you allow a user to organize and compose with layers but won't let them change a title to define the layer to make the organization flawless. This is a gap in logic. Sloppy dev IMO.
Then again maybe you can rename the layer but you've hidden the ability so much it's not intuitive enough to figure out?
But like most questions in this forum it'll go unanswered I'm sure.
The whole point of a forum is to find answers, what I tend to discover every time I come her is just lame excuses and vague promises.
And why is development on this app so slow? You should have had this function and many more missing features added back in already. This tells me that Adobe is either going to axe this app like they did Adobe Ideas or the staff resources have their attention divided. Either way functionality and support is at best half-backed. But I digress.

This is by a long margin my most desired feature for Adobe Illustrator Draw. It seems so basic. Here's the other threads I've seen that include the same request:
