"Enable Rubber Band" for Pen Tool Cannot be Turned Off

I don't like the rubber band preview when drawing using the pen tool, but I can't turn it off in the preferences. Anyone know of this problem? The check mark is there, but it cannot be turned off.

I am having the same problem where it appears that the checkbox to disable this feature is mis-aligned. I have tried using the [tab] key but after the text field for the LIVE CORNER ANGLE it tabs to nothing, then to the options on the left...
I have tried to change the resolution on the computer in hopes that maybe this would make that stupid check box "selectable"...  any other help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Can't uncheck "Enable Rubber Band for Pen and Curvature Tool" in Preferences. Anyone else have this problem?

    jartist,
    You may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • HT201299 Apps in Green in 'use cellular data for..' cannot be turned off?

    Why does an app in 'use cellular data for..' keeps on going to Green eventhough I already swiped it off? It keeps coming back.

    First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • PAT cannot be turned off by a motherboard vendor

    I recently found this info:
    Quote
    Here is the information Intel has provided us and approved for release on 3dXtreme:
    PAT technology CANNOT be disabled in a 875P based motherboard running at 800MHz system bus with dual DDR400 memory. However if memory population increases to 2 DIMMs per channel, PAT is designed to balance maximum performance with robust operating stability, and you won't see the maximum benefits that PAT can bring to a single DIMM per channel environment.
    After some further inquiry we were provided with some additional information:
    PAT is hardwired within the chipset and cannot be turned off by a motherboard vendor. Certainly a motherboard vendor can minimize its benefits by setting inefficient memory timings, but not sure why they would want to do that. There is no way to test within Windows to see if PAT is enabled within the chipset. However companies with the right tools can check PCI registers to see if the motherboard vendor has optimized their own memory timings. I think this is the basic confusion, motherboard vendors are setting memory configurations in certain ways and then claiming they are turning on or off PAT. This is incorrect, all they are doing is optimizing or unoptimizing their memory performance. Trying to relate these BIOS switches to turning PAT on or off is incorrect.
    on http://www.3dxtreme.org/DFI_lanparty_p3.shtml
    I'm currently running a P4 2,8@3,25 with UltraFast RAM settings and Dual Channel DDR using a 66/33mhz combo. Sandra tells me PAT is disabled. Should I be worried about that or believe in what Intel says?

    Question: how about 801MHz ? 1000MHz? or 533MHz?  

  • IPhone completely stacked - cannot even turn off

    I have had calendar sync problem for a long time. I removed iTune and reinstalled the latest version again. While I was trying to restore my iPhone hopefully to solve the sync problem, my iPhone was stacked. Right now, the apple mark appears on the iPhone and a timer (it's like an analog stopwatch) keeps moving (rotating). I cannot do anything. I cannot even turn off the iPhone. Can someone help? Do I need to run its battery out?

    I've had this problem as well. I can hold down the two buttons for 2 minutes and NOTHING WHATEVER HAPPENS!!! I've tried pressing them simultaneously, tried doing each one first before the other - etc. None of it works.
    It is simply impossible to turn my iPhone (1st gen, 16 MB) off. It just won't shut down. And since that is the standard instruction whenever anything goes wrong with the iPhone, it kind of leaves me stuck.
    So what on earth are you supposed to do IF THE DANG THING WON'T SHUT DOWN?????

    Try holding the power and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears. If still bad, try a restore from within the computer&itunes.

  • When I try powering up my phone it stays on the logo screen for a few seconds then turn off, whats wrong with it?

    When I try to power up my iphone 4 32g, it will stay on the apple screen for a few seconds then turn off. even when I try connecting it to my computer it turns on for a few seconds then turns off. Whats wrong with it? and what do I do about it?

    Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable?  After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

  • Illustrator plugin for pen tool

    Hi all,
    Is there any plugin to make the pen tool from illustrator behave/work like the pen tool from Photoshop. Both pen tool behave differently , and i am not used to the way of the pen tool behave in illustrator.
    Thanks in advance

    They are pretty close though and may be you need just a little bit more practice to get used to it. I'm curious what difference is the most problematic for you?
    Except for the Rubber Band option in Photoshop that is missing in Illustrator, I think with everything else, the pen tool in Illustrator is more capable.
    This is an old thread with some input about this, with my post #21 there I tried to summarize and describe some of the differences.

  • Brush definition/color swatches have disappeared for pen tool

    I'm using illustrator CC on a late 2012 Mac, OSX 10.9.5
    I just opened up my pen tool to draw some lines. Among my color options for both the stroke and the fill are.... nothing. That's ok, because I can still hold shift and click to being up the alternative color user interface. But I wonder if this is connected to my more serious problem: When I click on the brush definition dropdown, my choice is... Basic. And nothing else. I can open the brush libarary, and select a bunch of artisitic and bristle brushes, BUT I JUST WANT 3 pt. ROUND! And I can't find it, the dropdown menu has gone blank, where befiore it contained basic, 1 pt, 3pt, 10pt round, etc.
    Where did they all go? I'm pretty sure I haven't changed any settings. I just want to be able to draw a line with the pen tool that has rounded ends. This is entirely mysterious to me.
    (PS, while I'm complaining, Adobe, seriously, why can't I just pick a variable width profile and a brush definition for a pen stroke rather than having to make the stroke and go back and edit it? Endlessly frustrating. As powerful as this program is, this seems like a really simple thing you guys should include)
    Please help!

    Bottom left of the Swatches panel or from the panel flyout (small triangle, upper right) Open Swatch Library gives a whole list. You can use System or even better just copy the image and use File>New and choose an appropriate New Document Profile for the new file and then paste in the image.
