Illustrator free distort does not transform anchor points

When using Illustrator CS5 after applying the Free Distort effect, the anchor points remain in the original location. How can I get the anchor points to align to the transformed object?

It is an effect so it does not really change the object. That's why you can always go back and change or delete the effect.
If you want the effect permanently applied select Object > Expand Appearance.

    Sounds like you don't have all update installed. Use menu Help>About Photoshop should show 14.1.1 if all update are installed.

    I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
    I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
    All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
    Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

    Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?

  • VO does not follow anchor link

    I find it strange that VocieOver in Mac OS X (10.5.8) does not follow anchor links. The W3C specification documents and Wikipedia use them a lot; however the VoiceOver box does not follow the link while Safri jumps to that part of the page.
    Is this a miss configuration at my part or has it been designed that way?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    Your description seems to imply you are narrating at the same time as you are recording. This isn't best practice. Your best results will be obtained by adding the audio as a separate activity after you have recorded the screen action.
    Often in a web recording we notice what is perceived as a  mismatch. Often you end up with blank slides. This is because Captivate is running on your local PC (and running very quickly). But when you click a link to a web page, what really happens is that you send a command from your PC across the internet to a Web Server. The Web Server has to process that command, look up the desired page, send the page across the internet to your PC and it finally displays. While it may seem that it happens swiftly, compared to Captivate running on the PC it takes eons.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Folder does not appear to point to site

    Since the update (2014.2 or so) I get this alert:
    Folder "/ccc" does not appear to point to site "www.fastertrack.com".
    [Ignore]    [Fix]*
    Aside from being a slight nuisance there appears to be no effect on the resulting uploaded site. I tried with both "/ccc" and "ccc" (note "ccc" is the name of a site hosted on my hosting temporarily (Community Cancer Care)).
    What does this mean? If I click [Ignore] it proceeds and if I click [Fix] it bouces me back to the FTP screen. I don't think it's affecting other sites I have made.
    Thanks
    *I'm representing buttons here encapsulated with [ ]

    Roger that folks. Same issues here with a recent upload. I did push the site up to BC (business catalyst) and it all works fine. I have not yet tried to clear my cache. I am hosted through IPage. Sometimes it can take a bit to "refresh" content, but it has been almost a day since I made a few changes to the site. When I preview the html files in my folder on my server that Muse says are not pointing to the URL, the page also displays properly with the new changes. So, the folder is certainly in my directory. Technology...you have to love it, right?

  • Sorry, your Story Free subscription does not allow access to this application. Please upgrade your s

    I started using Story a few months ago.  While writing a script (very proud of it's potential) I was past page 20 I believe, to my own demise I only backed it up around page 9 using a word document.  My Hard Drive died and had to be replaced.  While trying to save all my files before I took it to the apple store I went to grab my adobe story file and couldnt.  So, I tried to log in and got this "Sorry, your Story Free subscription does not allow access to this application. Please upgrade your subscription."  I went to the online-version and my story was not there.  Thus, I am very angry that I lost my script because out of the blue my subscription no longer allowed me to use Adobe Story on my Macbook Pro.
    Nevertheless, I have been unsuccessfully trying to re-open Adobe Story on my newly restored HD and I still get the same message.
    If you could help me with what needs to be done, that would be swell.
    Thanks.

    Yup I was working on my script on Adobe Story, without problems, I was
    unable to retrieve the file to save it.  My Hard Drive has since been
    erased and now I am working on a new HD.
    I did re-install CS6.  All my other Adobe programs work.  The online
    version of Story seems to work but every time I sign in using my Adobe ID
    it gives me that message. :/  The thing is I never had a subscription so im
    quite confused why it's telling me my subscription no longer allows me to
    use Story without upgrading and spending oodles of money.
    Thanks!

  • Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

    I am using Illustrator CS6 on windows 7. I created a document on Illustrator CS4 on mac osx and exported the file to a pdf. Now when I want to edit the pdf in illustrator the images and drawings display correctly, but only certain text is shown. Not any text in particular, but just random lines of text within paragraphs. The rest of the text does not show up at all. What could be the issue?

    Why not open the AI file?
    In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
    Take care, Mike
    ***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

  • Gradient Mesh - distorted segments with no anchor points

    I often run into very strange behaviour with the Gradient Mesh tool, where a line segment becomes heavily warped (kinked, looped or with a hard angle in it) that has no anchor points or control handles to account for the distorted line segment. I've only seen this happen with the Gradient Mesh tool. In my most recent occurrence of this issue I have what should be a gently curved segment between two flat control points, and instead there's this massive "kink" in it that has a hard angle and nearly a loop that has nothing at all to do with the anchor points. There are no anchor points in-between these two (I started with a rectangle and just started adding and manipiulating points).
    Anyone else know what I'm talking about and have a workaround or solution? Or even an explanation of why this occurs might make me less frustrated.
    t

    Thanks for the response, Mike. I checked the surrounding points as a matter of first-line diagnosis, and nothing explains this distortion.
    In the image above you can see a "hump" which is not accounted for by any of the handles. The position of both control handles on each side of the segment would indicate a concave segment. The anterior handle of the circled point surprisingly has no effect whatsoever on the segment it is attached to - it is unclear to me what segment it is then controlling.

  • SDO_RELATE does not return expected points

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a query which does not return the results I am expecting. I think it may be to do with geodetic data v projected data but fail to see how.
    the table points2 contains point data stored in Lat Long (SRID 8307)
    Here is my query:
    SELECT mdsys.sdo_cs.transform(points2.assetextent,26943) FROM points2
    WHERE SDO_RELATE (points2.ASSETEXTENT, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,26943 ,NULL, mdsys.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3), mdsys.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1831679.1743184,644380.053168771,1831699.1743184,645000.053168677)),'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE';
    This query returns 0 results. if perform the same query with SDO_FILTER rather than SDO_RELATE then I get 1 result (which is what I expect). the result is this:
    MDSYS.SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(POINTS2.ASSETEXTENT,26943)(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES)
    SDO_GEOMETRY(3001, 26943, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1831689.17, 644440.053, 0))
    1 row selected.
    As can clearly be seen from this result the point is 10m from the both vertical edges of the optimised rectangle and at least 60m from the horizontal edges.
    The sdo_geom_metadata_table entry for this table is:
    SDO_OWNER SDO_TABLE_NAME
    SDO_COLUMN_NAME
    SDO_DIMINFO(SDO_DIMNAME, SDO_LB, SDO_UB, SDO_TOLERANCE)
    SDO_SRID
    VST POINTS2
    ASSETEXTENT
    SDO_DIM_ARRAY(SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', -180, 180, .005), SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', -90, 90, .005), SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Z', -999, 5000, .005))
    8307
    Anyone got any pointers? If you need more info just let me know
    Sam

    hi,
    can you try this query and let us know what you get ?
    Transform the geometry to 8307 and pass it into the sdo_relate
    operator.
    SELECT mdsys.sdo_cs.transform(points2.assetextent,26943) FROM points2
    WHERE SDO_RELATE (points2.ASSETEXTENT,
    sdo_cs.transform(MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,26943 ,NULL, mdsys.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3), mdsys.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1831679.1743184,644380.053168771,
    1831699.1743184,645000.053168677)), 8307), 'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE';

  • Envelope Distort does not work on raster images

    From "The Repro Kid" on
    this forum post.
    "What's happening is that Illustrator cannot perform the "distortion" on the masked area alone. It has to take into account the image itself, which is a big rectangle that extends beyond the bounds of the mask. The image and the mask together is object that gets distorted and that is the only way it can be processed by Illustrator."
    My repsonse:
    But this seems in direct contradiction to Adobe's description of what is happening:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6463a.htm l
    Here is the problem with that: (clipping) masks are presumed to be only a portion of an image, and not the whole image. There are other uses, but it makes absolutely no sense to have a checkbox that says "Preserve shape using: Clipping Mask" under "Envelope settings" unless that is actually what it does. If, instead, it uses the clipping mask's bounding box, then besides being mostly useless feature, it also has a misleading name. Likewise, why bother having a checkbox that says "Preserve shape using: Transparency"?
    These options are intended to deal with images (rasters), so to default to the bounding box of the image means that these checkboxes actually have no use whatsoever, since they are never less than the image bounding box.
    I am only trying to work with linked raster images - I have no interest in making other objects deform.

    I think what it is, is  that FILL defaults back to transparent and the glow
    does not show up.  I figured that out 2 seconds after I posted.
    Isn't that always the case?

    I have aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8 mac book pro. Lost some features in aperature when I upgraded my camera (no longer shows focus points, does not recognize RAW files) Would like to upgrade to aperture 3.5, but do not want to loose any pictures in my extensive library. Do I have to upgrade one vesion at a time, or can I jump? I believe I also need to upgrade my os, but not sure which to do first?  Any help would be appreciated...

    1. Can I get Icloud without having to upgrade to OS Lion?
    Nope, you need 10.7.
    2. If I upgrade to OS Lion, does this automatically put me onto ICloud
    No, you set that up yourself.
    3. I have three mobile me email addresses. One for myself, one for my wife and one I use for my business. What happens to these.
    You can convert them to be used in iCloud.
    4. My wife and I also use mobile me to sync our calendars across an Ipad (original) and two Iphones (3Gs). Both Iphones and Ipad are still currently using IOS4, and I am reluctant to upgrade this to IOS 5 as I have heard some horror stories. If I fail to upgrade to IOS 5, will this create confusion with my Apple ID's. (There already is a lot of confusion with these- Apple appear to not have down their homework)
    If you don't change the settings you have now, I'm sure it will stay working.  I believe Apple is phasing out MobileMe and you'd be forced to upgrade eventually.
    5. Will Icloud allow me to transfer my Icalendar across seamlessly? This is Ical 4.04 whic came with my Imac. Does this get upgraded if I update to Lion?
    Yes, it will get upgraded.  I have my calendar on Lion and my iPhone 5.0.1 working seamlessly at the moment.  That doesn't mean you won't have problems because with new technology that can be expected.  Make sure you do a back up if you're worried about losing data.

  • Adobe Connect does not show tool pointer/cursor when sharing Photoshop...

    I am an online instructor and one of the courses I teach is a Photoshop course. Each week I host a Live Lecture session where we use Adobe Connect to demonstrate techniques and tools in Photoshop CS6.
    I am receiving several complaints from students because Adobe Connect does not correctly show my cursor/pointer when it changes for each tool in Photoshop. All the students see is an arrow with a small icon of a face/monitor.
    This is confusing to the students, because I am trying to demonstrate how to use a tool and they are unable to see the actual tool. For example, when I select the brush tool - they should be able to see the brush circle as the cursor. I then demonstrate how to resize the brush - but they cannot see it. Another example is any of the healing/cloning tools. If I select the healing brush tool, they cannot see the circle (brush). I then demonstrate how to record a healing point by selecting the Option (alt) key - but again the students cannot see the pointer change to the crosshairs to record the healing point - as all they see is the arrow with icon at all times.
    Students are complaining that they are not able to comprehend what I am demonstrating because they are not able to get the full affect of the demonstration without seeing it how it should be. Prior to switching to Adobe Connect, we used WebEx - which showed the students everything correctly as I was demonstrating it. I was amazed to learn that Adobe Connect does not show everything - especially since I am using another Adobe program within Adobe Connect - you would think they would be fully compatible and able to show everything.
    Thank you

    I just saw this option for the first time last week. Very exciting to see it finally in Connect! There is a small amount of lag for the viewers, but nothing that can't be compensated for.

  • Show not selected anchor points (and connect)

    Hello.
    Every now and then I have the problem in Illustrator that I want to connect two anchor points with the pen tool. The two anchor points belong to different objects. Is there any way to always show all anchor points. Today I have to select one of the object to see the first anchor point I want to connect. And then hovering the point over the plaece where I presume the second anchor point is located until the mouse icon indicates that I have the pointer at an anchor point.
    A second question: Is there any way to connect more than two “lines” to an anchor point? I.e intersect and connect an anchorpoint in the middle of a line with a third anchor point.

    Almost.
    My thought was that if I could see all anchorpoints of all objects, without selecting the objects. Ie. se all "white" anchor points,  when I select them they will become "filled/blue".
