Illustrator CC tools working strangely on Cintiq 24HD on OsX Yosemite.

Hello everyone. A couple of weeks ago I got a Cintiq 24HD to replace a previous one. I mostly use the tablets to work with PS but do some illustrator work with them too. So far I've used 3 different tablets with this same 27" iMac, a 21Ux, a 22HD (for only a day) and this 24HD one.
Ever since I switched to the 24HD, I haven't been able to use Illustrator due to a strange bug that messes up with every tool.
It seems like the tools "snap" to a point outside the area of the 24HD, to the far left of the screen, "pulling" everything I try to do towards that point, be it a selection or a figure or whatever I try.
Im attaching a picture to better illustrate this. In this picture my mouse pointer was located on the upper right corner of the long rectangle you see there. I was actually trying to pull the square tool to the right to create a perfect square, and that is what happens.
This only happens with illustrator. Photoshop works perfectly.
Anyone else having or experienced this sort of issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks a bunch, all help is most welcomed.

IIRC this issue has been brought up couple of weeks ago. Seems to be some issue with Yosemite (maybe only 10.10.2). There's not much you can do about it, but you might try and search for it in the forum.

    Apparently, this is one more issue related to this Yosemite thing.

  • Why doesn't the Map module work with Lightroom 5.6 on OSX Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the Map module won't display the roads or satellite images with Lightroom 5.6.  Sometimes it will download a small portion of the imagery but then it just displays the message "No imagery available".  If I try and zoom in all I get is a blank view.
    It's nothing to do with my internet connection as Google Maps in Safari comes up instantly.

    Adobe acknowledged this problem some months ago in the official Adobe feedback forum, but it still hasn't been addressed:
    Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
    Please add your vote and opinion to that topic.

  • Does Wacom cintiq 24hd work with windows 8?

    Hello!
    I want to buy the Wacom cintiq 24hd (the non-touch). I'm reading a little around the different sites, but I'm not able to see if it works with windows 8 or not. I need to know this so I can be sure I can use it with photoshop. I hope you are willing to help me out on this!
    -Karen

    Wacom's own page for the Cintiq 24HD specifically states Windows 8 as one of OS's that work with it. (It's at the bottom; you have to click to expand the specs.)

    It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth.  Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear.  Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@

    The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves.  And every anchor point is a corner.  He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool.  He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag.  It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

  • Direct select tool in illustrator CC not working

    I think i might of, at some point, hit a shortcut key by mistake that has rendered my direct select tool duff. But after a lot of search and going through options i can't figure out what's going on.
    If i select the direct select tool (A), click on my expanded stroke split into dashed lines. Usually i'd be able to use direct select to target each dash, but instead now nothing gets select when i use my direct select. Nothing at all. It's bugging the hell outta me as it's effecting my workflow. Is this a bug, or an option that's been switched on/off?

    Doidge,
    Is the Direct Selection Tool working normally for other tasks?
    If it is, there must be something strange about the former dashes. You may have a closer look at them in the Layers palette.
    If not, there may be preference corruption. You may press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during restart of Illy, or Move the folder (follow the link with that name); the latter is reversible.

    nurcan,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press CtrlAltShift/CmdOptionShift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Why Photoshop Crashes with Cintiq 24HD  ???

    Hi there
    I've recently bought a Cintiq 24 HD screen tablet to work on digital art, but after getting it installed, when opening any Photoshop version, it crashes inmediately.
    I'm using Windows 7 updated properly, and also tried several Cintiq 24HD drivers.
    The versions that crash are CS5 , CS5.1 and CS6. The rest of adobe programs work just fine, but Photoshop shows a "Photoshop had an error and must be closed" message as soon as it boots.I cannot even see the interface.
    Also, don't know if it serves as reference, but the video player VLC started crashing exactly in the same way as Photoshop, after installing the Cintiq.
    Strange that one of the best devices is crashing with one of the programs that are actually intended for.
    Hope someone can help or at least give some information if they had the same issue.
    Thanks !!! 

    Don't mean to pass the buck but this would be a Cintiq driver problem.  E-mail Wacom with as much info as you can, like you have above.  They will have to go into the driver and make some tweeks.  PS users are a valued client so they should be responsive.

  • Cintiq 24HD as third monitor

    Hello,
    I am new to the forums, and would like some help.
    My set up is as follows:
    2010 Mac Pro 2x2.4 Quad-Core Intel Xeon - Running Lion
    12GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    2TB HD
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB Graphics
    Displays:
    27" LED Cinema Display
    24" Acer HD Monitor (HDMI - Minidisplay port connector)
    Cintiq 24HD (Monitor Tablet)
    Now the problem!!
    I recently purchased the Cintiq 24HD in hopes it could be used as a third monitor for my studio.  I was told it should work directly, and just to plug it into the computer next to the two minidisplay ports and it should work.  but when all three are connected, the Cintiq won't recognize.  I can only switch between the cintiq and my second monitor by unplugging the Acer HDMI connector, but i want to use all three at once and it won't let me.  Supposedly the HD5770 is powerful enough to support these three monitors / tablet.... Could anyone shed any light on the situation? Do I need to buy a seperate adapter?  Please help!!! Thanks.

    The "AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles" table doesn't show any active HDMI adapters.  I said that was problematic above.  I also said I don't know if you could get away with only using a single active adapter.  You may just have to do that experiment.
    A couple of choices are the following:
    DVI-D Single Link Male to HDMI® Female adapter
    Passive adapter to plug you HDMI into your DVI port.
    Accell B087B-006B UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Single-Link Active Adapter
    This is on the Eyefinity table an is a active adapter to connect your Cintiq to your mDP.  And looking at the picture of the Accell it is a male DVI plug so I think you also need a DVI coupler (gender changer) since I assume your Cintiq has a male DVI plug.
    DVI Coupler (Female to Female)
    As I said this is only considered an "experiment" since only one active adapter is being used.  At least it would answer the question about whether there's enough power with this setup.  If not then you need to figure out how to handle that DVI-to-HDMI connection with some kind of active adapter.
    You should be able to see what's going on here.  It's sort of a a big "game".  You think up one set of requirments.  Do a whole lot of google searches to find out what's out there and if you can't find stuff to satisfy that set of requirements, think up some other set of alternatives, and try, try, again.
    This was the technique I used and how I originally stumbled upon that DVI/SPDIF converter box.  I've since discovered that box is sold by a lot of online sources.  The only difference is each slaps a different decal on the top! 
    Note that given the setup I just descibed, if the single Accell B087B-006B isn't sufficient you may just have to consider that box since it will count as an active adapter for the HDMI connection.  It does for me (I use it for my TV), with my other "active" adapter being a (apple) mDP-to-VGA adapter to a 17" VGA monitor.  Other mDP is of course connected to my 27" ACD.

  • Bug with Illustrator Line Tool

    Hi
    I am trying to draw a shape using the illustrator line tool, and it always seems to revert to 1pt when I am using it within a shape, even when I manually change it to 0.5pt in the top bar, it does not change. I will go larger than 1pt but not smaller for some reason. It works when the line is by itself. As in not attached to a shape but as soon as you move it to connect with the rest of the shape it reverts to that large size. please help
    Thanks
    Rebecca

    Oh thanks! I didn't realise this could effect specific tools as well as the placement of objects, Im having another problem which I thought would be solved by turning off the 'Align to Pixel Grid' but it didn't work

  • Illustrator cs6 stopped working

    I have got a subscipriton to creative cloud. I have a laptop and a desktop. both were working fine until a few weeks ago when the desktop version of illustrator CS6 stopped working. all other apps are fine. totally wierd. have unistalled and reinstalled, and also repaired permissions just in case but it still wont work.
    basically it boots up OK and then when you go to drop down menus its all greyed out so unusable. even quit is greyed out so i have to force quit to close it.
    any ideas?? very irritating and im desparate to get this working asap as got a backlog of work to do.
    Steve

    Steve,
    Did you use the Cleaner tool between uninstalling and reinstalling?

    This should be one for Customer Service, if your nerves can handle it.

  • How do I make the line tool work again?

    Can you help me make the line tool operate properly again? I just now accidentally touched something on my keyboard. And now, when I click on the Line Tool in the Tools Panel, and then press the "x" key to toggle the color of the line tool between being black, or being white, neither options works anymore. Now, when I draw a line, it does not apply a black line to my drawing. And when I toggle and press the "x" key again, it doesn"t apply a white line to the drawing either. When the line tool is "white", and I draw a line across a black area, nothing happens. The white line tool doesn't apply to the drawing.
    When I've gone to your "help" menu, I'm instructed to press the "Object Drawing Button" in the "Tool Panel". But I've looked at every item in the "Tool Panel" and I cannot find the "Object Drawing Button"..
    Can you give me the steps that will help me make the line tool work once again?
    Thanks, Mardty Anderson

    Thank you for taking your time to respond. I'm using Adobe Photoshop
    Elements 11.
    A colleague was able to get the problem solved. He chose the "star"
    instead of the line. The star worked fine and showed up on the drawing
    I'm working on. Then he switched back to the "line". Lo and belold, the
    line worked. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe it was a bug in
    the program?
    Do you know how to use the Picture Organizer in this Photoshop program?
    I have several thousand illustrations. The Organizer seems to recognize
    some of them (like 5 or 6). But most all of them only appear as a blue
    box with a flower design in it. When I click on the blue box, more
    pictures appear, but only very quickly does a picture flash up on the
    screen, and then it disappears again.
    I wish there was a tutor here in the Tucson, Arizona area that I could
    hire who could come to our office and coach me. There are several of us
    who don't understand this Photo Organizer. Do you know of any leads in
    which we could hire a personal tutor for a morning?
    Thanks again for your kind response to my first call for help, (Miss)

  • Why doesn't the dynamic zoom tool work in my PDF?

    I have designed an interactive PDF to open in full-screen view only. Of course, when it does so, none of Reader's tool bars are available to the end-user. But as the PDF is meant to be used on screen, I want the recipient to access the dynamic zoom tool. So I have introduced access to it from within the PDF itself.
    This I have done using the Button tool to create a button that appears on each page of the PDF that, when clicked, turns the cursor into the dynamic tool. Another button I created alongside it brings back the cursor.
    However, having done this, some recipients receiving the PDF have been able to access the dynamic zoom tool from within my lovingly crafted PDF but others have not (the dynamic zoom tool worked on a PC machine running XP/Home & Reader 7, but not on PCs running XP/Home & Reader 8 or 9).
    And of course, the tool works fine when the user exits out of full-screen view & accesses the tool via the menu, or the toolbar.
    But we don't want the menu or tool bars to be visible!!
    So my question is, does anyone know why this specific function on the PDF I created is working for some and not for others? Do you know if there is something specific I need to apply within the Button tool's settings or the PDF's settings that once actioned will completely avoid this problem from reoccurring? Or is there a bug in the software that you are aware of that prevents me from creating a PDF that includes access to the dynamic zoom tool from within itself (not via the toolbar) and which works fine in different versions of Reader & across PC/Mac platforms & operating systems?
    (I created the PDF using Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac running Leopard, 10.5.9).

    To create the interactive button: from the menu bar, go to Tools > Advanced editing > Button tool. Clicking Button tool brings up a cross-hair cursor. Click & drag to marquee the area you want to make interactive (in my case, over the icon I designed & introduced to each page of the PDF to represent the dynamic zoom tool).
    This brings up a dialogue box where you can select the appearance of the button (eg visible or invisible), which trigger is needed to activate it (clicking, hovering, etc), & what action is generated once you've done so (like going to another page in the document, run a javascript, play a sound, or execute any of the menu items).
    So all I did is told it which menu item to activate, by selecting 'execute menu item' in the drop-down menu, going to the menu to select it & clicking okay. Simples!

  • Why doesn't my burn tool work?

    I'm creating cartoon/painted imagery in CS 5, in doing so, I'm using multiple vector masks. My burn tool works sometimes, and other times it doesn't. I use the dodge tool, it works fine, then I try switching to the burn tool, and nothing happens. Meanwhile, it's working on similar layers that I made previously. I can't fathom what would cause it not to work, considering that the dodge tool is working on the same layer, and the the burn tool is working on other layers that I created the exact same way.
    I'm not photoshop incompetent, so YES, I do have the layer selected. I'm doing everything correct to my knowledge. I provided a printscreen. Ignore my plethora of layers and my half completed Macklemore. As you can see, I have the neck layer selected. which I just finished using the dodge tool on, but when I go to switch to the burn tool, it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Ok so im trying to crop this to make a .gif for a friend and here's what it does:
    This is what I'm trying to crop, with my settings as stated above.
    This is what happens when i use the move tool and pan over to see that it's not cropped.
    This is what happens when i try to see if it will be different on another page, so i post is on a whole new layer document

  • How to restore Time Machine back-up if not even Recovery Tools work?

    After a hard and unexpected crash on 2012 macMini I tried everything from this list: OS X Yosemite: Ways to start up your Mac Only 2 things worked: hardware test (via Ethernet: option+D; everything passed) and detailed status mode (command+V) which listed a bunch of errors concerning booting (missing or corrupted files and/or folders). Which is probably the reason I couldn't launch Recovery Tools - neither locally nor directly via Internet (Ethernet plugged in,  option+command+R). I would get the message that the Tools are launching, but after the Apple logo showed up followed by the spinning circle, the screen would go light grey 4-5 seconds into the process and the thin black progress bar would appear. It would grow to 1/3 of its length, stop for several seconds, then the computer would restart, the bar would show up again, grow to 1/3 etc., etc.
    Assuming that nothing else could be done I started the mini in the target mode (T), plugged it into my old 2007 mini and re-formatted the internal drive, thinking that I could either try Recovery Tools again (no luck) or just clean install Yosemite on the 2012 mini first and then use my Time Machine back-up to restore my files. Unfortunately 2007 mini can only install Lion - even on the external drive - but nothing higher (so I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, Mavericks and finally to Yosemite). And 2012 would not start with Lion on it. Still no luck with Internet Recovery Tools btw (same symptoms).
    The only other thing I can think of is finding a newer Mac and use it to install Mavericks or Yosemite on my 2012 mini. If this fails, it's a trip to the Apple store.
    If anyone has any other ideas, please share.
    (2012 has no CD/DVD drive)

    Your description of Internet Recovery sounded much like Safe Mode, not Internet Recovery. I don't think you will see an Apple at all. It should be a spinning Globe. Or, when you say "spinning circle" was that the globe spinning?
    From the App Store on the 2007 mini, can you download the Yosemite installer?
    That's about all I can think of besides taking it to an Apple Store.
