How do I get the size to show when creating a line or a shape?

Hello,
Before, when I created lines or shapes in illustrator a small window would show the size of whatever I was creating. Now it does not show up and I have no idea what the size is of the shape or line. I'm sure there is a simple solution to this issue, however I do not know what that is and couldn't find it anywhere on forums and such. Appreciate any help!
Thank you,

Try looking at the Smart Guide options in the Preferences (Cmd(Ctrl)-K). Are Smart Guides on (toggle is Cmd(Ctrl)-U) Is this one checked?

  • How do I get the screen to refresh when drawing a line larger than the art board

    How do I get the screen to refresh properly when drawing a line larger than the art board when the screen scrolls? Everything turns white in CS6, CS5 and CS4.

    Existing art - not the new art.  The new art just gets a proxy shape - seen in my example as the blue rectangle.  The existing art is what gets smeared as you drag past the edge of the screen.  If it's anything other than an Ilustrator thing, it's a Mac thing. I've never known it to be any other way other than maybe in the past showing blank white instead of stuttered art on probably 10 different macs over the years.
    Take any art that you've ever created.  Zoom in so that your art is bigger than your screen (so that there's somewhere to scroll).  Rectangle tool (or move, scale, rotate(?) something, or draw a line) Start your rectangle anywhere, drag so that you are at the edge of the screen, causing it to scroll.  The existing art will get all effed up.  The rectangle you're drawing will draw as you expect it to - that's not the issue.

  • How do I get the titles to show when in full screen mode

    Hi I'm having a hard with my title showing when in full-screen mode for imovie.  It shows up on the edit screen but not in full screen. Why and how to I change it?

    yours is showing all the time? mine only shows when my mouse is at the bottom of the screen.
    However it also shows for me in non-fullscreen mode after i've switched to a different Space (in Leopard) and back. Have to go into fullscreen and then out of it to make it disappear.

  • Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

    Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

    You aren't crazy.
    Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
    Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
    Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
    So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
    I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

  • My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

    How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    What specific information would you need?  The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit  some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore.  It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel. 

  • How do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document

    When using Numbers, how do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document?

    Are you asking about the cell background, as ivmedic has assumed, or about how to make the grid lines separating the cells darker?
    Select the table.
    Use the controls shown above this table to change:
    Stroke type from "Thin" to the solid line shown.
    Stroke thickness to 1 pt
    Stroke colour to a darker value (This is set to black, the rightmost cell in the top row of the Color Palette available fir this Color Well.)
    the controls are toward the right end of the Format Bar.

    Is it showing in iTunes?
    If so, then connect the iPod to the computer. When it shows up in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and hit the iPod tab. Uncheck transfer album art. Click okay. Go back and recheck it. Let the iPod update and eject it when it is finished.

    How can I get the page to curl when turning to the next page in iBooks author?

    I don't think you can. If you need that effect, you should use ePub (that can be authored via Pages) not iBA.
    I hope Apple give us the option in the future though.

  • How do I get the content to match when exporting pages document to word?

    How do I get the content to match when I export a pages document to word format?

    You simply cannot get an absolutely identical export, in any app to any app. Exporting from one app to another means converting/parsing code, therefore the result cannot be identical. In order to have control over your final result, use PDF export. If you need a closer compatibility with Word, use OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I would not bet that Word for Mac would presserve identical page setting if file is created in windows, or vice-versa.
