Error on selecting object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

Hi everyone, i have problem with selecting object in illustrator CC, when i select the current object it will also select the other object, i cannot select the object i want, not on the group or clipping mask.. always highlight it both. it often times happen when i doing so much vector object. any help from you guys is so much appreciated..
thanks

This has been happening through so many versions that I no longer remember when I first encountered it.
One trick that occasionally works when you get such a 'ghost' selection;
Create another object (a small square or whatever).
Select it. Your new object and the ghost will be selected at this point.
Align them using any one of the alignment buttons, it doesn't matter which one.
Immediately undo the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. About nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can delete your extraneous object and continue working (until next time).
It doesn't always work. But it is quicker than a restart when it does.

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.

Cannot move selected objects in Illustrator

I'm using Illustrator CS5.5.
I cannot move anything I select. I try to drag it and it makes the "bump" noise.
-I made sure that my preferences are not set to "object selection by path only".
-I've restarted my computer several times
-I tried to open a previous Illustrator file and I have the same problem
-I even uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Abode Suite beacuse I've been having several issues
I'm not sure if this is related but I also can't create a new document unless I use picas and CMYK coloring. It refuses to adjust to anything other than the default settings. Also, I can't increase the stroke of an object unless I type in the number, meaning I can't use the arrows for adjustment.
So basically I am having a ton of problems and even reinstalling the program didn't fix them.
Help please.

Hi everyone.
I've also had the same problem recently. To sum it up:
- Sometimes (randomly) Illy won't move objects. I click and drag them, it results on a bumpy sound and the object comes back to its initial place. Note that the object is visually being moved during the drag
- Trying it again, with the same object, same conditions, may results in more failures, but at some point it works (sometimes 2 tries, sometimes 20)
- It doesn't seem to be affected by the direction, distance, "drag time" of the Move action.
- It is also not affected by the type of object being moved (simple or complicated shape, pixel image, etc)
- Keyboard input works flawlessly
- Only the move action via Selection or Direct Selection tool is affected.
What i've tried:
- Looking at obvious errors (layer locked, wrong tool selected, etc)
- Checking the outlines using Ctrl-Y or any other shape that would be in the way
- Unchecking "Object selection by path only" (was already, tried both)
- Opening other files, older or newer.
- Restarting Illustrator
- Restarting Computer
- Resetting my preferences
- Putting all kind of drivers up to date (Graphics, Motherboard, mouse, etc)
- Completely uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe CC 2014 Creative Suite, with a Cleaner Tool in between
- Trying with an older Illustrator version (CC) which does not seems to be affected (then again, the bug is pretty random, and danielv82539074 is having it with CS6)
Now my guess would be some kind of issue with mouse recognition since keyboard works. Restarting Illy sometimes give me a 10-15 minutes relapse before the bug occurs again.
Gear:
- Illustrator 18.1.1 64 bits
- Intel Core I6-2600K 3.4 GHz
- Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti (drivers up to date)
- Mouse Steelseries XAI
- Windows 8
Anyway, this is really really annoying, i hate everyone, my life is in limbo, why is this happening to meee?!
Just kidding, i still love you Illy, just, you know, let me work !
Thanks everyone <3

Pasting Smart Object from Illustrator to Photoshop Creates "Blank" Object

Hi,
I just upgraded to Creative Suite 5.5 from CS 4. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to select objects in Illustrator, copy, and paste them as smart objects in photoshop without any problem. Now when I paste them Photoshop correctly recognizes the dimensions, but when the object is inserted it's completely empty. I've checked the fill and opacity for the pasted layer (both are at 100%). I've applied color overlay blending effects but there's nothing there. It's totally empty. I'm able to copy and paste images from my web browsers and from the system (Mac Lion) clipboard by taking screenshots, but I cannot paste anything from Illustrator. It's just empty.
Note: I've been using Photoshop for over a decade, so it's not a "I don't know how to copy-and-paste" issue. I've also confirmed that Illustrator's file handling and clipboard preferences are set to PDF and AICB. I've also done a complete uninstall of CS 4 and CS 5.5 (including deleting preferences), and reinstalling CS 5.5. But it hasn't fixed the problem.
I've Googled this for almost an hour without any luck at finding a solution or even anyone who's having this problem. Anyone out there who can shed some light on what the solution might be?

Yes >>Preserve Appearance and Overprints<< is checked.
Attempts to paste into other applications result in the same empty box. (I hadn't tried this before, so thank you, this makes me think it might be an Illustrator problem rather than Photoshop, but read on. Something isn't right with my CS 5.5.)
Nothing peculiar about the copied content. I've tried numerous AI files with simple vector images that I've copied as smart objects before.
You can't double click the empty SO object, because it's literally empty. It makes an empty layer in Photoshop. (But, when you make a new file or paste into another application, it does see the correct width/height of the copied object - but then it fails to paste it.)
I've tried placing the AI file in Photoshop and it says "Could not place because of a program error." Is there something wrong with the way my CS 5.5 install is handling vector objects?

Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
I received this error back:
Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server. After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
Here are my server details
VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

Hi there,
How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
Thanks!

"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).

Unknown error when copying any object from Illustrator to Photoshop

When trying to copy an object from Illustrator CS5 and paste it to Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 I get the the following error when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop:
The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [pdf!]
This only happens between Illustrator and Photoshop - copying an object to InDesign works fine.
I deleted the full Adobe preferences folder on D:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe but that doesn't help.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Q

There's definitely something wrong.
Have you rebooted your machine recently?
I'm on a Mac, so maybe something happens on Windows that I'm not aware of.
Let's see if anyone on a Windows system has any ideas.
Anyone?

Hide bounding box of a selected object

I tried using the feature request page but got an error after typing all this and thankfully I copied all of the text I entered just before hitting submit just in case the website decided to act stupid like it did (would have to retype all of the following and many sites fail at keeping that info or even bringing back the page you were on.. Very bad for users)
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Hide Bounding Box of selected objects
An option to turn this on/off under the view menu > Extras
Standardizing features like this across your Adobe apps (photoshop, illustrator) would make it more consistent since I was really looking hard to find a way to do this similar to the other apps I mentioned but InDesign failed to do this. It's very distracting trying to apply effects such as a drop shadow and not being able to see the result properly because of the bounding box. I hope this gets implemented ASAP.

After trying this again, it seemed to go through this time. Hopefully they get this implemented soon.

The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects,( Compound paths, closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group). You can use Join command to connect two or more paths, paths in groups; ot to close an open path.

Hi I was trying to join two Ractangle Tool objects but getting this type of Error in illustrator cs6 :-

Please assist me asap.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This sound like a firewall issue. I would start by disabling the firewall and seeing if you can connect. If this works then you know where the problem is,

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)

Getting javascript error while selecting the Recipients in OBIEE delivers.

Hi All,
I am working on OBIEE from quite a long time, but recently I came across a error while selecting the Recipients in Recipients list of OBIEE delivers.
Making it more comprehensive, when I try to create an ibot , after entering all necessary information when I select Recipients in Recipients list and click on ok. I get a JavaScript error "null" is null or an object. The surprising thing is when i select cancel it works as ok.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
for those who have encountered the same problem as me, you should check that the table name sql query is of the form Name_Schema.Name_Table.
For this right click on the entity in the workspace> edit entity> Database Objects> Schema Objects and add the schema name before table name( Name_Schema.Name_Table).
thanks,

Error while selecting entity

Hi
I keep getting the "JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for Units" error. Below is the query in my View Object. If I remove the Units(Enitty) from the query it works fine but I need to have that in the query.

Can some one explain how to get rid of this problem? When I run the query in TOAD it works fine.

Error adding BW object into a transport request

Hi all, I'm modifying an OHD and when I'm trying to save into a new request I got the following error: "Attention!. The selected object is already locked by another transport request". And it shows me which is the TR that has the object locked, however, when I go to SE10 in order to check if the object its locked there, it is not!. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Mauro

Did you try unlocking from SE03 - enter that request which system warned and execute and try collecting the Object again in new request
SE03 - Search for Objects in Requests/Tasks - enter IOBJ - Obj tech name - select Modifiable option and execute .. you will see the request numbers .. where this object is locked
