I'm missing the "Package" feature in Illustrator CS6

I have just realised I do not have the "Package" feature in my Illustrator CS 6. ?? Should it be there? Do I need to reinstall the software? I mostly use Indesign where this feature has always been used for packaging projects.
Hear from some one soon - I hope!

Yes, Adobe retitled the feature and is now claiming it to be "innovative and VIP", more than a decade later in Illustrator, fun huh?

Why don't I have the Package feature in my CS6 version?

I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 but do not have the Package feature in my File menu. Does anyone know why this might be?

I think that was only included with the subscription ("Cloud") version.

The 'package' feature is not showing up in Illustrator CS6 (It says its upto date at version 6.0.4).

Can someone asist with what this, since Adobe are to busy to provide support???

Only creative cloud subscribers get the new features. If you were a Cloud subscriber your version would be 16.4.0 not 16.0.4.

Has Adobe improved the Graphs tool in Illustrator CS6?

Does anyone know whether there have been any improvements to the graphing tool in Illustrator CS6?
I had thought that perhaps Adobe would be adding a graphs function to Indesign, but there has been no word of it with the CS6 release. And nobody has mentioned graphs in their "new features" reviews of either InDesign nor Illustrator.
The graphing function in Illustrator really sucks - it's been the same since Illustrator 88. Have they totally abandoned those of us who have to create graphs again? Or have they improved it but it's just not cool enough for anyone to mention?

I do a lot of reports - sometimes a 100 page report will have 40 or 50 graphs in it. I have to create over a thousand graphs every year. I have tried all the other products I can find and none of them create files that are really usable in a workflow where everything else is done in Adobe Creative Suite. I need to option click on a linked image of a graph in Indesign, open up an Illustrator file, and update the graph with new data from an Excel file. And I need the graph to look good.
Currently, the Illustrator graphing tool does not support live updating of the data very well at all and has severe limitations. Your data cannot have commas or percent signs or dollar signs. You cannot have numbers as categories (years, for example, as a category label all have to be typed in quotes). The graph labels cannot even have commas in them (you have to enter them manually after you plot it.) The entry dialog for the data is really primitive and hard to work with. And every time you update the graph data and replot the bars or lines, the tick marks are scattered all over the page and you lose your commas in the axis labels. Adobe really ought to be ashamed and embarrassed by how poorly this tool works, and I cannot understand how they can create tools like a perspective grid (which is cool, but I haven't needed it yet) and totally ignore such a basic productivity tool as the graphing feature.
I'm all for the cool stuff too . . . but you don't need live paint or live trace to do graphs if you can actually just import the numbers and do it right. But my graphs need to be accurate and based on plotted numbers, not hand-drawn. And so I have to come up with complicated workarounds and every time I update a graph I have to do all this stuff over again that should just be a one-click update.
If anyone out there is looking for a good business opportunity, build a graphing plugin for Indesign or Illustrator - I'll be happy to test it!

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

Hi John,
thanks for the fast response. cs5 remembered the window position. I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor. I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position. I think. If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes? Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day. And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator. I won't comment on Acrobat X. ; (

Where can I download or aquire the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator CS6?

Where can I download or aquire the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator CS6? I would like to be able to save files for HTML5 and CSS. According to the "Adobe Illustrator CS6 On Demand" book, I should be able to download the HTML5 Pack from the following link: labs.adobe.com/downloads/illustrator_html5.html. That link does not work. Please help. Thanks.

If this is true the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator has been deprecated, then how is one to save Illustrator CS6 files for HTML5 and CSS now? Is there another workaround?

"Output to Swatches" feature in Illustrator CS6

Hi. Can you tell me if the "Output to Swatches" feature is still available in Illustrator CS6 (image trace options)? The online help states that it should be but it's not there anymore.. http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tracing-artwork-live-trace-or.html#tracing_option s
Thanks

Hi Relaxtension
The online help which you have listed is for Illustrator CS5 and Illustrator CS4. In Illustrator CS6 this option is not available and to achieve this you have to expand the traced art and then create "New Color Group" using the Swatches panel from the selected artwork (expanded artwork).
Regards,
MBM

Missing workspaces like Photoshop in Illustrator CS6 using a Win 7 64 bit PC

I just finished a tutorial about type effects in Illustrator CS6 by Kelby training he suggested that we set the workspace to (Like Photoshop) but this selection is not there and other selections are missing.
is there some kind of fix for this because I primarily use Photoshop and the interface would be helpful in finding my way around.

Can I get the kuler panel in illustrator cs6?

I Cant get the kuler panel to work in illustrator cs6.

everyone here is right, dreamweaver is better and you will need to understand html for this to work. HOWEVER, you can make a functional website using just illustrator and notepad (or text edit if you're on a mac).
Design your site in illy, slice it up with the slice tool. http://s23.postimg.org/mv311kpp7/test_illy.jpg
Save for web and select html and images, you'll get an html file and an images folder. Open the HTML file in your text editing program and it will look like this: http://s10.postimg.org/f32nf6r2h/html_stuff.jpg you'll have to know HTML codes but you can find tutorials online for most stuff, you'll just have to figure it out. In my fake site, i linked a button to google so i had to add <a href> tags to the code. http://s22.postimg.org/5avpadhch/a_href.jpg save the html file and open it in your web browser, hopefully not IE. You can't tell in the picture but the middle button actually does link to google. http://s21.postimg.org/qd77slqmf/firefox.jpg

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

You can't find them because those effects only exist in Photoshop.
