How do I use Illustrator to choose one vector image?

I am new to Adobe Illustrator and the Creative Cloud.  How do I use Illustrator to work with vector images?

Just about every tool in illustrator has to do with vector objects. So File>Open will open a vector file with a few exceptions. Illustrator can open a ai, pdf, eps, and I think svg file. The exception is both pdf and eps can be created by another program and can have data that is not recognizable and therefore may not open.
I recommend that you take the time to read the manual, it provides a vast amount of information about how the tools work. Most book stores have books on illustrator.
Also you can find a vast amount of information on the net about illustrator like the following.

  • How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    >
    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

  • How can I use AppleScript Studio to display an image

    How can I use AppleScript Studio to display an image in a dialog?

    Add an image well to your window in Interface Builder.
    You can also add an image file to the Resources group of your Xcode project and then set the image to be displayed inside the image well directly in Interface Builder. No AppleScript code is needed if the image is contained within your app bundle and can be set ahead of time like this.
    If the image is contained in your app's bundle but you need to set or change the image at run time then you can use a line of AppleScript to load it into the image well using just it's filename:
    set image of image view "yourImageView" of window "yourWindow" to load image "YourImageFile.jpg"
    If you need to load an image from an arbitrary location outside your app's bundle then use a path to the image file...
    set image of image view "yourImageView" of window "yourWindow" to load image "/path/to/YourImageFile.jpg"

  • How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

    I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
    If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
    Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

  • How do I Use Illustrator CS 6 (16.0.4) on Mac OS 10.9 without Java Installed?

    Greetings!
    I have moved to a new system running Mac OS 10.9, and I am able to run Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6 without having Java installed on this system. Sadly, I receive the following error message when I try to start Illustrator CS6 (version 16.0.4, not the Creative Cloud edition).
    To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?
    I searched the the forums and read that some users can run Illustrator CS6 without Java SE 6 (or Java 7) by removing FXGFileFormat.aip and FXGFileFormatUI.aip from Illustrator’s Plug-ins folder. Removing these plug-ins makes no difference on my system. I am still prompted to installed Java SE 6 after I try to start Illustrator CS6.
    How can you use Adobe Illustrator CS 6 without having Java SE 6 installed?
    Thank you for your help.
    JJJ

    I wish I had an answer...it seems this issue is throughout my CS 6 programs.  I can no longer even start a program.

    iTunes can manage any number of iDevices separately. Be sure each has a different name. You can only connect one at a time. Please get the IPod Touch user guide.

  • How do I use mulitple divices with one computer

    How do I run muitple divices on one instance of ITunes

    When we purchased a new car last year it came with an iPod tether. I decided to give it a try and purchased an iPod for it.   I was so impressed that I decided to do away with my collection of 300+ CD's, 400+ vinyl records, and 100+ cassette tapes.  It took me ssix months to transfer everything to iTunes (the vinyl was especially slow, and I had to purchase an interface preamp to facilitate the process).  I next began collecting iPods - one for each of our three cars (two of which had to have tethers installed), and one for each room where we wanted to listen to music (for this we purchased several iLIVE iPod docks).  I then began transfering my music collection from my computer to the iPods.  At this point I ran into problems with syncing, resetting, and generally uncooperative iPods.  When I noticed that iTunes insisted on calling all my iPods by the same name, when I had named them separately, I began to worry, and tried to contact Apple to ask what might be happening.  Unfortunately, my last purchase was six months and a week ago, and Apple no longer wants to talk to me. 
    Today I began checking this forum and found the article about multiple iPods on one computer.  So ... I have to make six copies of my library, remember which library goes with which iPod, and remember to switch to the appropriate library before syncing.  Whatever happened to that "Apple makes it easy" attitude?

  • How do you use 3 devices on one Router?

         Hello< I'm new to the forum and new to networking.  My question may seem very basic and it may not, I'm not sure.  I will say that I have tried to learn things about routers and networking over the past few days with not much success.  Of the 3 million plus acronyms used for networking and networking devices, I know maybe two of them, so trying to read about this stuff is like trying to read pig latin.
        My set-up is one Lynksys cable modem and a WRT54G wireless router using Comcast cable internet.  I have one PC wired to the router, one Xbox360 wired to the router, and one PSP (Playstation Portable) wirelessly connected to the router using a WPA personal.  I currently have my router set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP."
        The PC is always connected to the internet and always works, although, once and a while I do get the little yellow shield in my toolbar that says there is an IP conflict.  After setting up or resetting the router I can then log on with both my PC and the Xbox at the same time with no trouble.  While both the Xbox and PC are looged in,the PSP will not log in,says "could not connect."  As soon as I log off the Xbox, the PSP will then be able to connect without doing anything else.  If I then log off the PSP I have to reset the router before the Xbox can log in again.  If I do not reset the router at this point, and run the Xbox network test utility it will say the IP address has failed.
       Is there a way that I can log in with all 3 devices at once?  If not, is there a way that I can at least not have to reset the router everytime I switch from the PSP to the Xbox? 
    Thanks to anyone who replies to this post.  I am getting a little frustrated and I can't seem to gain any understanding of these devices or how they work.

    Thanks a lot for that information Sean.  Those guides made it extremely easy to set up all my devices to a static IP.  I now have all 3 devices logged at the same time and no longer need to reset my router.  Nice!
    There is one problem though.  Now, when I use the test utility on the Xbox, everything is confirmed, but when it gets to NAT it says "moderate."   It used to say "open." 
    IP Adress - Confirmed
    DNS         - Confirmed
    MTU         - Confirmed
    ICMP        - Confirmed
    Xbox Live  - Connected
    NAT          - Moderate  (should say "open")
    This is what it says when I select "more info" under NAT;
     "This test indicates the type of NAT that your router or gateway is using.  Devices that perform strict or moderate NAT can restrict or limit the ability of gamers to find each other, participate in sessions, or hear each other on Xbox Live.  If your router or gateway is using a strict or moderate NAT, replace it with a Xbox Live compatible device.  For a listing of compatible devises visit www.xbox.com."
    I have since tried joining a live game session and everything seemed to work fine, although I havn't yet had a chance to confirm if the Live voice chat is working yet. 
    I have checked the Xbox website and found that my modem is certified Xbox Live compatible.  It lists WRT54G (V1, V2, and V3) supporting firmware version 3.01.3 and 3.03.6.  It also states that firmaware v2.02.7 will not allow you to log onto Xbox Live, so I know I don't want that version.  In my router's set-up menu it says Firmware v1.00.9.  Should I update my firmware?  Am I missing something else?
    Again, thanks for your help and hopefully I can figure out this "moderate" thing. 
    Hi
    Well first of all , No worries budd.
    and secondly ,
    am happy about the fact u did the settings correctly ,thats why u able to get online with All three devices . appreciate it .

    upgrade the router to the latest firmware version - v1.02.5  !
