Illustrator brush problem (bug?)

Hi!
Can someone please help me with this weird brush behaviour:
I cannot make a clean stroke without having Illustrator messing it up.
I'm using Illustrator CC current version on OS X Mavericks.
Thanks!!

Are the points connected in the area, try dragging the point where the problem starts with the direct select tool. You may have an errant fill of black.

Editing image created with Illustrator brushes

Can parts of an Illustrator brush be removed or erased where they overlap on an angle. Obviously straight portions are not a problem and can be handled by moving the anchor point of the path. However, I have created a pattern brush with 6 parallel lines and I am designing a typeface for a Typography class. There are areas where the brush lines overlap.

Use the appearance palette, and 3 paths for example to make a B.
With appearance, there are so many possibilities.

Strange Brush Problem

I originally had CS3 Extended on my iMac (OS 10.5.8). The brushes and clone tool worked normally.
When I upgraded, I got CS4 (not Extended). The brush and clone tool problem I've had with CS4 is that the the stroke
only comes from the center where the cross is. The whole width of the brush is not active. I upgraded to CS5 and have
had the exact same problem.
I spoke to a friend who is Adobe-certified and who teaches Photoshop. She said she has seen this problem one other time
and that she tried changing every setting in every relevant part of the program, yet nothing fixed it.
I freelance for an agency that recently put the entire CS4 Creative Suite on my laptop so that I could work for them in InDesign.
I already had my copy of CS4 on the laptop, but the new installation overwrote it. In THIS copy of Photoshop, I DO NOT have the
brush problem. I installed my copy of Photoshop CS5 onto the laptop and in the upgrade I DO have the brush problem. But the
agency's copy of CS4 on my laptop is still problem-free.
Any clues whatsoever? I haven't called Adobe yet.
Thank you,

Below is a replica of the problem I'm having with the Clone Tool.
As you can see from my original post, this problem occurs with my copy of CS4 that was upgraded from CS3 Extended. It does not occur with a completely different copy of CS4 that came with a full version of CS4 (including InDesign and Illustrator).

Can't create a new illustration. Problems occurred while saving the print file.

I can't open a new Illustrator file. It sends me this error: Can't create a new illustration. Problems occurred while saving the print file. ID:-1
I opened a previous document created in CC, but it will not allow me to copy and paste items from one doc to another.
I have rebooted with no avail.
System:
Adobe Creative Cloud CC
Mac Book Pro 2012
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Is a printer connected? Is it turned ON? Is the driver up to date?
Illustrator checks this every time and also writes information on the printer into the file.

Lightroom 5 Adjustment Brush Problem?

When I want to use my adjustment brush, I do not have the second circle show up to show where it has taken the adjustment from the photo. Is there a way to fix this? I was able to use it before and didn't have a problem. But I haven't used the program in a while. If anyone can help me with this that would be awesome.

When I am advising on weird adjustment brush problems I always say - Update your Mouse and Tablet drivers to the latest version. Update your video card to the latest driver. If neither of those fix it, then try resetting the preference file: Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums

Reporting some proxy problems/bugs

Is there a way to report problems/bugs in the proxy software without having support? I believe this can be done for Java, but what about the proxy?
In our environment we are using the proxy software (currently v4.0.5, but I haven't seen these items in the release notes of the newer versions of the software) in the reverse proxy mode and have encountered what I believe may be a couple of bugs.
Possibly related to a previous poster's "Content-length mismatch" error message, it seems that some app servers respond to an If-modified-since conditional GET request incorrectly by sending a Content-length header along with the "304 not modified response" (there should be no such header in a 304 response). When proxy caching is enabled and the GZip compression filter is used, one result I have seen is the "Content-length match" error message which happens when the incorrectly included Content-length header has a non-zero value. A different result occurs when the incorrectly included Content-length header has a value of zero - the proxy response body gets truncated (completely removed).
A second issue I have seen is with the reverse proxy's handling of a POST with a trailing CR/LF which some browsers (IE) send incorrectly (there should be no such trailing CR/LF in a POST request). The proxy seems to handle the trailing CR/LF for the request/response, however if HTTP1.1 keepalive is used and the POST is followed by a GET request on the same open connection from the browser then the access log entry for the GET request will be broken across two lines.
Hopefully someone from Oracle monitoring these forums will pass these on to the proxy dev team.

Yep, I realize Safari on Windows uses Windows Internet Options to get proxy server info BUT the Windows Internet Options don't provide a place to specify the proxy login information.
As a result, when the browser contacts the proxy it usually (or should) prompt the user for the login info. Safari did the first time and I told it to save the info. Then my login info changed and rather than prompt for it again, Safari sits there and doesn't load any pages.
IE7 uses the same proxy without problems because IE uses the domain login credentials to connect to the proxy server.
Google Chrome uses the Windows Internet Options for proxy support and it prompts me to login to the proxy each time I fire it up and access a website.
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4 will prompt me for login information if the login info it has stored won't work for the proxy connection.
Opera 9.62 prompts me for the proxy login information each time I fire it up, just like Google Chrome.
Out of all of those browsers, Safari is the only one that can't use the proxy because I can't change the login information for the proxy connection.
Peace...

OWB 11.2.0.1 – Known Problems/bugs resolutions ?

OWB 11.2.0.1 – Known Problems/bugs resolutions ?
==========================================
We are using OWB 11gR2, Java(TM) Platform 1.5.0_17, Oracle IDE 11.2.0.1.0.
We are finding the strange behavior in OWB Design center. Here is the situation.
1) OWB Design Center>Databases>Defined Module> Mappings>MAP1>Mapping Editor>Expression Editor>
Output attributes>Expression Builder
Specify the expression and press OK.
Another Expression Builder opens up with blank window. We need to specify the expression again.
2) Same as above after opening expression Builder, if we go to another apps (eg. SQL Developer, MS Word) and come back expression Builder disappeared from the context.
We find only Expression Editor. Design Center Hangs. It is not responding to any KEYs. We need to kill the application via task manager and re-start.
Are these issues related to OWB client piece or OWB Client+Server piece?
We did not find any events reporting at DB alert Logs for such events. Do we need to set up some trace ON to record such events?
Are there any log files/tables record such events at OWB repository level to trace back?
Do we have OWB 11.2.0.1 known issues/bugs, resolutions list posted somewhere?
Thanks in helping.

We reviewed the release notes, where it says this patch will improve performance (Bug 7359939).
We find another note in metalink (provided by our DBA team) says
Poor Performance of Mapping Validation / Generation in: OWB 11.2.0.1 + Megapatch 10270220 and OWB 11.2.0.2 [ID 1303177.1]
Are we going to face a new problem after applying this patch?
Thanks in helping.

CS3 Illustrator crashing problem

Hello all,
Lately my illustrator cs3 has been crashing every time I try to save a new file. It is so frustrating after doing all the work and can't save. I work on Windows XP 2002 system. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

Hi Jacob, Just so you know, I was in a hurry and no way was able to buy an expensive product to do my artwork project. I couldn't find older TRIAL versions to download without 3rd party attached programs & BS that could be bad to do.
But, I need to go back on the forum to say that I rebooted to try one more time and it worked. Don't know why it didn't work the first time around because it was a fresh open of Illustrator, hadn't been working on it for a month then the first time didn't work.
I don't have time to go back on the forum right now got to leave for work. You can mention you heard this from me if you want so that people aren't misinformed.
thanks for replying

Illustrator brush question

At one point in time I was shown how to change the option on my CS3 Illustrator brushes so that when you draw a line and end it, it stays that way when you begin to draw again. Now I can't figure out how to change it again. The default setting is set that when you draw a line, and then begin a new line close to it they flow together to form a new path. (This is difficult to explain in words).
How do I make it so the lines are all individual objects when you stop drawing?
Thanks,
Nancy

Double-click the Brush Tool and uncheck "Keep Selected" or "Edit Selected Paths" or both. Either option will basically not mess with strokes you've already drawn.

GreenSock Doubling Problem (Bug?)

I've run into an issue where if I set the visibility to an object that is being tweened to 1, GS creates a second instance of the object.
In the attached file, click the 'btn' and notice that a 2nd row of envelopes is created and they are not blitted like the original instance.
Bug or operator error?
Thanks.

This is NOT a bug. See the answer in the GreenSock forums:

Brush Problems with Illustrator CS4... the line does not draw with my mouse movement

When I use any other brush besides the Calligraphic Brushes from the "Artistic Ink" brush library, I press down with either my Wacom Tablet or mouse, and the line does not appear to draw. Then I release the button on the mouse or lift my pen tablet up, the lines appears. Sometimes, a little "dot dot dot" line appears when the brush stroke it going to appear. But most of the time, it's just nothing, and then the line appears after I've drawn it.
However, with the preselected brushed at the top, and the Calligraphic Artistic Brushes, the line appears as I am drawing it. This is what I want for the other brushes.
Is this normal?! I just recently upgraded to Windows 7, and reinstalled the Adobe Suite. I can't remember if Illustrator did this before I reinstalled it, but I'm not sure it did otherwise it would have annoyed me as much as it does now. Can anybody help me?

Hi!
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.
First time posting to a forum.
I'm having the same problem and followed the advice for changing the file name in the Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
This solved the problem of seeing predicted brush paths for very basic brushs, but I still can't get a preview path for any of the ink brushs.
I've seen video tutorials which demonstrate inking techniques and the ink brush predicted path was clearly working in those tutorials.
I'm assuming therefore that I should be able to see some type of preview when using the ink brushs.
Any advice would be great!
Cheers!

Camera Raw v8.7.1 Adjustment Brush Problem

I’m using Adobe Bridge and my problem is in Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 and 8.7.1 itself. The Adjustment Brush cursor clicked position and the actual area that will be painted is not in the same area. As you can see the picture shown below, the actual painted area is being offset about one cm away from the cursor clicked position. Only the Adjustment Brush is affected. What's more, the cursor is larger than usual and the color changes to black instead of white. Hope someone can help to give a solution or hopefully Adobe can fix the problem.

Another user has the same issue, I recommend submitting a bug report. Re: Is this a bug or a flaw in my install?
You might try rolling back to 8.6 an see if that helps: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

Illustrator Flattener Preview Bug?

Before I submit a bug report, just want to see if anyone else is having this issue because my computer has been acting up in other areas lately.
late 2009 - 27" iMac, Yosemite 10.10.1
Illustrator CC 18.1.1
The "Presets" drop down only says "Custom" in Flattener Preview.
They do appear in the Advanced tab of the Print Dialog.
If I go to Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have the defaults (High, Medium, Low Resolution, For Complex Art.), but are not in the Flattener Preview.
If I go back to Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets create a new Custom preset, then the new costom preset and the defaults will then appear in the Flattener Preview.
But as soon as I close Ily and re-open, they dissappear again. I have to create a new custom preset OR delete one to get Flattener Preview to see the presets.
Just wondering if anyone else can duplicate this behavior, or is it just me.
As a side note, the dashed line for Opacity Masks is also unpredictable. As in, when applying an Opacity Mask, inside the Layers panel it sometimes will show up as a solid underline, like a Clipping Mask, and other times it will appear correctly as a dashed underline.
Thanks.

Same issue with me.
Most actions I create are unusable after restarting Illustrator.
I'm on Windows 7, AI version 17.1.0 (64-bit).
Let me illustrate the problem with a simple sample action.
When I create an action it works, and as you see Alignment item is expandable.
(Left image: before running the action, Right image: after running the action)
Upon restarting Illustrator the Alignment item is empty, the action doesn't work and I get an error dialog.
I have to delete and reload the actions and those are working again.
Here's the action I used. Just select 2 objects and press F11 or run the action.

Opening these in the browser or in a text editor, parameters are not present in the corrupted aia.

Adjustment Brush edit bug verified by Adobe

Adjustment brush edits that turn off have been acknowledged as a "bug" by Adobe see http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problem_with_adjustment_brush_tool_i n_adobe_camera_raw Someone on a Mac posted the same problem. From feedback to my post, I had thought it was just a Windows 7 problem.
Problem is more serious than my post on Oct.16. I have discovered it is more than a Preview issue. An Adjustment Brush edit that is (momentarily) not showing in ACR 7.2 or 7.3 will not be carried over to Photoshop when you update the file into PS CS6 as a Smart Object. So you made multiple Adjustment Brush edits (for example Exposure, Highlight and Clarity) only to discover that not all the edits made it to the Photoshop Smart Object.
See original Oct. 16 post to see screen shots provided by Noel Carboni that verify bug. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4792575#4792575 Includes specs of my Windows 7 x64 machine.

Okay, I know I'm just talking to myself here, but I wanted to leave another update. It's not nTune, (at least I don't think that had anything to do with it).
I've come to find that when I have Firefox (v3.01) open, the problem appears. With FF closed, it's gone. No other program that I've tried causes the same issue. And as far as I can tell, FF doesn't cause problems with any other software.
This is a strange problem indeed, but I guess if it comes down to having FF closed while I'm working, so be it.
Anyone have thoughts as to where the conflict is coming from?

Illustrator CS4 problem placing large files

I don't know if this is a new option I need to set in illustrator CS4 or if this is a bug but when I try to place large tif files into illustrator (larger than 15mb) it just doens't do anything. No error message or dialogue. Just acts like you never placed the file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

When I get back to the States I will I am in Amsterdam today but I will look at it on wednesday but I have placed such fiels both flattened and layered tiffs.
The only thing it will not place is 16 bit tiffs, it should automatically convert them to 8 bit but let me see what it does with 16 buit tiffs that are linked.
