Illustrator CC tooltips

I'm currently using Illustrator with a Wacom Cintiq 22hd which is great fun, but there is one annoying thing which I was wondering if there is a fix to that I'm missing. When tracing and wanting to pick up paths or anchors, the little green text that tells you what it is is to the right of the pointer, and being right handed, it means it's under the pen.
Is there a way to change the text so it shows to the left of the pointer?
Many thanks in advance.

rocksodem,
I am afraid only the left handed have it right in both senses.

Indesign CS6 - Tooltips (Quickinfos) in Werkzeugleiste und Bedienfeldern erscheinen nicht mehr ?

CS6 Indesign auf Windows 7 Habe schon viel ohne Erfolg gemacht, um die unentbehrlichen Tooltips wieder zum Erscheinen zu bringen. Habe Firefox gelöscht und durch Opera ersetzt, alle add-on und Kasperski Sicherheit deaktiviert, kleinere Programme gelöscht, die ganze CS-Suite gelöscht und neu installiert, und nach all diesen Mühen zwei Eintragungen in den AppData gleichzeitig gelöscht, nämlich De in C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\de DE sowie Cache in C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\de_DE\Cache Danach sind beim ersten Laden von Indesign die Tooltips wieder da, wenn ich aber das Programm beende und neue starte, sind die Tooltips wieder verschwunden Ich füge noch hinzu, dass gleichzeitig in Photoshop und Illustrator die Tooltips normal sind. Was kann man da noch machen? Wäre für Hilfe sehr dankbar. Mollius

Danke für die Hilfe.
Ja, gewiss, ich habe die Benutzeroberfläche in den Voreinstellungen mehrfach zurückgesetzt, das geschieht natürlich auch durch die Löschung der beiden Dateien in den appdata, die ich erwähnt habe.
Ich nehme an, es gibt eine Unverträglichkeit von Indesign CS6 mit einem anderen Programm, das auf meinem Rechner läuft (eine Unverträglichkeit, die bei meinem Photoshop CS6 nicht besteht).
Aber welches Programm stände einem einzelnen Menüpunkt (Tooltips) im Wege?
Ich habe den Rechner bereits sehr schlank gemacht, ja auch Firefox durch Opera ersetzt, keine Add-ins und extensions geduldet, Kaspersky Security deaktiviert.
Jetzt weiß ich nicht mehr weiter.

Tooltips (tool tips) do not show in Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4)

Hello,
Today when I launch Illustrator CS4, I'm unable to see the tooltips that appear when the mouse hovers over the tools or any of the buttons on the panels. I'm still able to see the pop-up tooltips on the artboards (e.g., smart guide information).
I've double checked the preference option to ensure that "show tool tips" is checked.
I also deleted the preferences file (AIPrefs) in case it was corrupted.
None of this worked.
Does anyone know how to make the tool-tips appear again?
thanks in advance!
JP

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I'm farily certain that the mouse is not moving from any vibrations (heavy mouse, no detectible vibrations, etc.). If I leave my mouse over a tool and leave my hand off the mouse for a while, no tooltips.
... after rebooting my machine (Vista x64), the tooltips seem to have come back on. Like others have mentioned in these threads, it seems to take either about 4 seconds and/or mousing over several tools before the tooltips appear.... so I think this issue has resolved itself after the reboot.
thanks,
JP

Ctrl and shift alt shortcuts not working in Illustrator CS4

Hi
Can´t seem to get these keys to work properly.
For instance while drawing with the rectangle tool then pressing shift to get a square does not give me a square, all I get is a tooltip balloon saying "shift" same goes with ctrl and alt and spacebar. This only happens while using my wacom graphire 3 not with the mouse. Trying to use the up and down arrows to shange the number of points in a star also not working. But if I FIRST click the shift key then start creating a square its working, but not if I first start creating the rectangle. Photoshop cs4 does not give me this problem. Using Vista 32 bit swedish language, latest Wacom driver 5.0.8-6, latest keyboard driver and a swedish microsoft natural pro keyboard, latest logitech mouse driver. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Fonts... there are probably the most guilty of that cases. Ask yourself: when you add (drop, be forced) new fonts in your system, by management spoftware (directly into font folder)? Notice when web browser "ask" you about access to your fonts on your HD in last time (so often last days). When you "dig" somthing in a system, at any way, you disturb his "sacramental peace" (Ohmmmm...) and it flow in other case like sensitive Illustrator or others - I think all other "movements" eg. reinstaling, deleting, etc just "cover" problem by something others (for a short time) or don't resove it at all.
So, first try... rebuild you system maintenace privilages (do this every month or often! Try Atomicbird Macaroni or Titanium Onyx or so, than...
try rebiuld/refresh/clean your font cach ( I use for this, and manage, FontExplorer X Pro) and should be fine.
..."should" I'm not guarantee 100%
PS
I have no idea what should be done on PC

Fireworks CS4 gibberish in menus & tooltips

Just installed Fireworks CS4 on my XP SP3 system. In the
menus, the menu
shortcuts show up as "Ctrl+[empty squares & garbage]",
etc. instead of
e.g. "Ctrl+C". The same for the tooltips when hovering over
the tools in
the LH panel , e.g. "Subselection tool [long string of
squares, etc.]".
Anyone know what's going on? I'm sure I installed it in
English, etc.,
but could reinstall it if something else needs to be
selected.

Here's a screen shot illustrating the problem:

App-V 5 SP1 Creative Cloud Enterprise Illustrator 213:19 Error

Hello, I'm currently working on creating an App-V 5 sequence for Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise. Firstly I'm trying to create a sequence for CC Illustrator, however I'm running into what appear to be licensing errors.
From what I understand in Adobe Create Cloud Enterprise, the licensing restrictions which tie the license to the machine have now been removed so that packages can be created with serial numbers included for deployment and imaging purposes.
I've created a package for Illustrator using the Creative Cloud Packager and included the serial number and then sequenced this in App-V 5.
When I deploy this app-v sequence, Illustrator loads but I end up with a 213:19 error. Looking in the amt3.log the full error is
09/24/13 16:58:35:478 | [ERROR] | | | | SLCoreService | | | 5624 | error deleting bad mkey:

I've also tried creating a package using a trial licence and then using the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the product at launch with no success.
I've read the support statemnt at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/technical-support-boundaries-virtualized-or.html, but would appreciate direction from adobe as to what would be causing the above error.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have read those articles (multiple times :-)) I've installed the required c++ redistributables on the sequencer and also on the test machines.
I'm not getting any errors being reported in the App-V eventlogs.
I initially used the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the app-v application at launch via startprocess in the userconfig file as shown. This runs but it doesn't work around this issue.
<UserScripts>
      <StartProcess RunInVirtualEnvironment="true">
        <Path>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\adobe_prtk.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>--tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\prov.xml</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true"/>
<ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe</ApplicationId>
      </StartProcess>
    </UserScripts>
Following that I read that AAMEE 3.1 removed the (http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2012/09/aamee-3-1or-why-puffer-fish-is-a-delicacy.html) machine to license issue
therefore allowing packages to be created using serial numbers and to be included within build images.
As I'm packaging Creative Cloud (not CS6), I'm assuming this has been carried into the Creative Cloud Packager for Enterprise which now must be used.
Any other ideas appreciated.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it.
Good luck~!

Preserving PDF links and actions created in Acrobat after editing in Illustrator

I created an interactive PDF in Acrobat from an Illustrator file saved as a PDF. It's basically an interactive prototype that simulates dropdown menus, highlighted selections and navigation between screens. Using the Link Tool, I set layers to appear through the layer visibility action, and certain layers to toggle through javascript. Since the prototype is evolving, however, I have to periodically make minor edits to it in Illustrator. Once I make an edit and save the PDF again, when I open up the saved document in Acrobat, all the link tool actions are gone. This is highly frustrating because most of the edits take just a minute or two in Illustrator, but I have to re-create all the links in Acrobat when I'm done, which takes a very long time. How can I make minor edits in Illustrator while preserving the action elements I created in Acrobat?

Well, that's a bummer. It's so close to a feasible workflow for generating quick early-stage prototypes that you can continue to work on.
Thanks for the info.

How can I give songs on one album different illustrations.

Pete Philly, a Dutch singer, did a project, called "Open Loops". He uploaded a number of songs that didn't really fit in his new album, to be downloaded for free. I downloaded it, and it turns out that every song has its own illustration. I was curious if it was possible for several songs on one album to have different illustrations in iTunes. Is it possible? If so, how can I do it? Thanks in advance.

From another thread
If you just highlight the name of the genre and press play/pause, you won't have to select an artist.

How can i disable Illustrator from changing my language / keyboard layout.

I have an azerty laptop and a qwerty external keyboard. Switching from any application to illustrator changes the language and therefore also my keyboard layout. No other application does this.

Thanks for the reply Mike
But i have a laptop with azerty layout (Belgian) and an external qwerty keyboard (Brittish).
So i need both languages selected in the System Pref >> Keyboard >> Input source
When "Brittish" is selected and i switch from Apple Mail to Photoshop to Skype to Chrome to ... it all works fine.
Only when i switch to Illustrator it also changes my language/layout from "Brittish" to "Belgian" and stays like that. I need to manually change it back in the menu in Finder.
I like the brittish better (with a qwerty keyboard) because of the shortcuts (eg. sqare brackets -> shortcuts for order in Illustrator are not even on an azerty (Belgian) keyboard).
Any idea?

Can we have a Single quote in the tooltip text?

Hi,
We have some tooltips for the presentation columns which contains a single quote.
When I try to view the tooltip from answers the single quote is being replaced by double quotes.
I tried to use all sorts of escape characters for single quote, like "\'" and ''' and "'" but that didn't work.
Is there any way to do this.
Thanks!!
Vasantha.P

As I said in my earlier post, I am looking for the tooltips for the Presentation tables and columns. The tooltips for these were extracted from the RPD using the externalize Strings option and these externalized strings are stored in the database.
So I am escaping the single using a single quote both in rpd and in the database.
Example text I have used both in the rpd and database is something like "Shipment's start time". I tried with "Shipment''s start time", " Shipment'''s start time", but it didn't work.
Thanks!!

Can you export images which have been pasted into an Illustrator document as separate files?

I have a multi-page Illustrator document (over 50 artboards) which contains lots of images that are all saved within the document (not linked in from seperate files) and all the images need to be exported as separate image files (similar to when you package a file in Indesign). The problem is the files are not linked, they are all saved within the document.
Want to avoid having to copy + paste every image into a new document in Photoshop and save individually as this will take forever.

Save the document as a PDF and Open in Photoshop. Select only the Images in the Open dialog and proceed from there.

Can I replace Pantone color books in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop?

These new Pantone + books are a pain in ...well... you understand. In my years as a designer, I have just clicked on the correct book and color swatch, but now...
I am using Windows 7 and the CS6 suite of products. We have a company logo in which both main colors have dramatically changed with the new books. I won't go into all of the tricks we've tried to be able to place it in new documents without the color changing. I now think the only answer is to replace the color books as Adobe recommends. I do have two questions, though.
First, can I change the books in all of my products? Adobe only gives instructions for Illustrator and InDesign, but I regularly have to change vendor logos into our company colors in photoshop, and I am finding the color in Photoshop isn't the same when I bring that logo into Illustrator, even though they have the same number.
Second, what are the end results if I do change the books when I send a document to a printer? We usually do our printing in-house, so I am wondering when we buy PMS 2955 if it will be what I see in the old books or the new books. And what will an out-of-house printer be using?
My main two concerns are (1) seeing the correct color on screen and (2) printing the correct color. I don't really care how I get there, but I'd like it to be a permanent fix so I don't have to go in and manipulate swatches every time I add a logo to an item.
Thanks for any help!
BTW - haven't been to this new forum format and don't know if I am posting this in the right place. If not, please help me find the correct location. Thanks!

HI this is good. But i have already seen this.

Using a variable in Spry conditional tests included in a Spry Tooltip

I have the following code:
<div spry:region="company" id="tooltip">
<div spry:repeat="company" spry:choose="spry:choose">
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
<table>
<tr>
<td
align="center"><h2>{name}</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="{headshot}"
alt="{name}" width="227" height="350" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">{description}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltip_trigger_one = new
Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip","#trigger", {showDelay: 200,
hideDelay: 200, offsetX: 250, offsetY: 200} );
</script>
where the variable "memberName" is set elsewhere to a value
that matches one of the occurrences in the column "name" in the
dataset "company". I can see, using debugging tools, that the
variable is being set correctly. But.... when the tooltip is
triggered, only a small few-pixel square box opens up.
If, instead of using the variable "memberName" in:
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
I use a string, as in
<div spry:when="'{name}'=='John Doe'">
then the code works correctly and I get a large tootlip
showing me the correct information for that member of the company.
I have tried different tests (spry:if and spry:test for
instance), tried various combinations of quotes and parenthesis and
tried placing the code at various places both inside and outside of
the <body> -- but always get the same results.
Is it not possible to test against a variable or am I doing
something else incorrectly?
Thanks,
Janet

OK.... some progress to report.
I was setting memberName onmouseover-- which is also the
trigger for the tooltip-- thusly:
<p><em onmouseover="memberName='John Doe'"
id="trigger">John Doe</em></p>
It seems that the variable is being set, but too late, as the
trigger has already caused the div... id="tooltip"> to be
evaluated with "memberName" not equal to any of the names in the
dataset. I tried using a function call to set "memberName" and
tried putting the onmouseover in the <p> tag and leaving the
trigger id in the <em> tag. but neither of those appear to
change the outcome. "memberName" still appears to be set to the
value I initialized it to up the the <head> section at the
time the tooltip <div> is evaluated. Although it is set
correctly if I check it's value using Firebug after I have
mouse-overed it.
Incidentally, using a Firebug breakpoint just before the
<div spry:when...> and checking the value of memberName was
how I discovered that "memberName" still seemed to have a value of
"initialized" which is what I set it to up in the <head>
section.
Having written all of this, I am wondering though, shouldn't
the value of "memberName" be equal to "John Doe" the second time I
mouseover it? Or, if there are more than one trigger "names" on the
page, shouldn't "memberName" be equal to the name of the previous
trigger that I moused-over? And with memberName having a legitimate
value at that point, shouldn't the tooltip now show the correct
display information rather than just that little few pixel square
box that I am getting when I mouse-over the trigger name?
Clearly there is something that I just am not understanding.
Janet
