Illustrator shortcut issue

Hi
I use illustrator for several things.
So i really need to use shortcut's.
But there is one big problem :
I have the english version of illustrator and i have a German keyboard layout.
An example :
To blank a shape u use '/' ( English Version )
To blank a shape u use '#' (German Version )
I can't use '/' cause i have to press shift+/ ... I dont know its not working.
So my question is :
Can i change the "Shortcut-Layout" and use the German layout ?
Ty,
LifeArtist

You can create and modify custom shortcut sets.

Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.
So the problem is that I have to click in the editing code again to write in different language, which it didn't happened before.
Just in case of shortcut keys collision I completly removed the shortcut of snippets from shift+F9, nothing changed. I really can't understand why when I press Alt+Shift to change language it goes straight to the snippets.
If anyone can help would save me from nervous breakdown!
Thanks,

Since this appears to be a "just started happening" issue, have you tried clearing the program cache?
Deleting a corrupted cache file
That tends to catch a lot of weird behaviors and straighten them out.

Does anyone have shortcut issue while working in PHOTOSHOP CS6 recently?

I found that a couple of my friends have similar shortcut issues recently. (We all use Photoshop almost everyday)
It seems weired that those shortcuts using single key are working fine but those shortcuts using complex keys like command + Z,T,S and etc,.
We tried to quit photoshop and start agiain. It seems working good sometimes but it does not working some other times.
Anyone has similar issues?
2 of them are using Mac OS X and one using Window 7.
Thanks,

You haven't applied ANY of the CS6 updates at all.
Go apply them right away, see of the issue goes away; if not, come back here with more detailed, sensible information:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Illustrator .eps issues.

I have two issues that I'm hoping for some help solving.
I am operating in the newest version of Illustrator and I'm having issues with my .eps files when they are sent to Roland Versaworks or opened in Flexon programs. My printer is telling me that when he opens my .eps art files in Flexon to print on a smaller machine, there is a "black box" covering the entire artwork like a mask. He is having to work extra to remove this mask before printing our customers order. He is telling me this isnt happening in Roland, but I want to make sure it doesn't happen in the future and if it does what I can do about it.
When I open my .eps files in Illustrator or Corel there is not black mask to speak of. It doesn't show in any of the layers.
Still, is there something I can do to prevent it from showing up in my printers programs? Is there a step I'm missing or a step I can incorporate to check the file and make sure its not there? Or is this a Flexon/Illustrator combatiblity issue for the manufacturers?
Roland Versaworks: my .eps art files sometimes open with bits of artwork missing, or the cutline missing. I have calibrated our cutline to Rolands and also Illustrators specifications but there are still instances when it doesnt come through. Any suggestions on what else I can do to avoid these issues? It slows down my companies production time to go back, re check, re apply cut lines(that are already there) and resave the file....
Thankyou in advance!

At times yes, but this is showing up on basic stroke and fill artwork as well, with no dropshadows/transparency effects.

Shortcut issue on a non-English Keyboard

This is just a small issue, but nevertheless annoying.
I'm on a danish keyboard layout, where the ";" key is a actually assigned to a letter "Æ".
Thus I cannot press "option+Æ" to show/hide guides. I can assign the function to a different shortcut,
but it is nice to use "same old".
As it is still the same key, why doesn't this work? Is there a trick?
It is on a mac - CS5.
Thanks!

Hi asenft!
Look up the part number for the keyboard you want in the Hardware Maintenance Manual. There will be at least two manufacturers. A good place to search for the part is IBM Parts.
Hope this helps!

Issue is not resolved.
Latest technician was a total waste of time. Had not read previous case notes, had me retry procedures that had failed on previous t
hree attempts to work with technicians.
Wanted me to delete and reinstall entire CS5 Suite with a new user account: said it was a Microsoft registry issue, not an Adobe pro
blem. I lose two days of work, and have to reinstall all plug-ins for the entire suite. Asinine for a problem with Illustrator.
How about some competent help for a change? How about repairing Illustrator registry (if that, indeed, is the problem)?

Thank you Adobe support for more wasted time, non-solutions, and non-call backs.
Spent 40 minutes on hold yesterday, spoke with a technician who was running through the standard diagnostics, and was disconnected a
fter about five minutes.
Spent about 50 minutes with a young woman this morning who was also unable to do anything. She wanted to uninstall and reinstall the
entire suite, which I declined to do.
Another tech called, and an appointment for 2:00 PM was set up. It is about 3:30 PM, and still no call back.
After researching the issue on non-Adobe sites, I was able to get the Toolkit up-date to work. Illustrator will still not up-date (s
ee attached error messages). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same result.
Thanks again for the lack of support!

Microsoft was very helpful in resolving this issue. There is also an error in Adobe's Cleaner Tool: Microsoft's Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer recommended for anything other than Office, as it may corrupt Windows 7 files, and is not available from Microsoft.
Situation
Apparently the attempted install of Illustrator patch 15.0.2 corrupted some Illustrator, as well as Windows 7 files.
Solution
The solution was to run a Windows 7 [in my case Professional] "in-place up-grade." This essentially reinstalls Windows while retaining all install and other information. Worked flawlessly.
Second step was to run generall follow Adobe CS 5 Cleaner Tool instructions. Illustrator would not totally uninstall, but the error log indicated that the problem was deleting some empty directories. It appears they were write protected [a change an Adobe Tec had me make], so I manually deleted them. Please see note above about Microsoft's Installer Clean-Up Utility: it is no longer available from Microsoft.
On reinstall there were a number of error messages, which did not appear too important. I ran install a second time, then applied up-dates for the next few hours.
All up-dates were successfully downloaded and installed, and the past two days the suite seems to be working fine.
Wrap-Up
Thank you Microsoft and Milenium. Continued thumbs down for Adobe support.

Photoshop/illustrator transfer issues and error

I've transferred my photoshop and illustrator from my old mac to another by using time machine, and I deregistered my old accounts on my old laptop to use it on my new set-up, but unfortunately I keep receiving 150:30 errors. I've tried scouring the internet for solutions, but I can't find a solution. I can't locate my serial numbers for the products either. I've had them for about four years. Could someone please help me with this problem? It's vital that I have these products for my job.

You need to install Adobe products, transferring them will not work. You should be able to find your serial numbers thru your Adobe account online. If you need help getting them, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

Can Anyone help with an Illustrator transparency issue?

I created a logo in Illustrator which includes an imported Photoshop psd file with a transparent background. The transparency behaves properly in Illustrator, but as soon as I place it in In Design or open it in photoshop the graphic shows up on a white box/background (the rest of the elements in the logo remain transparent, as they should be). And btw-the greyscale version of this same logo has no transparency issues.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
it is part of an entire suite of logos that are all vector based Illustrator files
No, it is not. It contains a raster image, so it is not "all vector" regardless of its being assembled in Illustrator.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The EPS file will not handle transparency.
EPS supports "transparency" in 1-bit raster objects. It also supports clipping paths, which is how this particular logo would have been handled in earlier times (assuming one insists on the simple grads being raster).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
What kind of file do you save and place in ID - should be an AI - is it?
InD doesn't really import AI content. It only imports PDF content of an .ai file (if any).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm on a time crunch
Take Scott's earlier advice. Especially given that you are compiling a collection of (presumably) reuseable logo files, this should be re-created as entirely vector content. That mark should take no more than a few minutes to redraw. Simply by including the raster element (which is primary element, by the way), you are obviating the core advantage of vector artwork (resolution independence) to begin with. So if you insist on that element being raster, then the whole thing might as well be, and your workflow is needlessly convoluted.

Illustrator Preview Issues in Creative Cloud

Some Illustrator files (the one I'm trying to use has multiple gradients) don't create a preview when uploaded to Cloud. Is this a known issue?
Also, Cloud doesn't recognize, Illustrator layers as it does with Photoshop and Indesign. Will that feature be added?

The link for the file, income-v3.ai, that will not preview has been emailed to you.

Group Policy Preferences Shortcut issues ( event ID 1085 )

I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem that is causing our users a headache
We have a Windows 2008 SP2 terminal server farm ( 1 gateway, 2 Terminal servers TS1 and TS2 ), we also use Group Policy Preferences to deliver app shortcuts to different AD user groups.
TS1 and TS2 were built from the same image. On TS1 users logon and get all the icons they are entitled to, on TS2 it is random to whether they get their shortcuts or not.
Both TS are rebooted daily and I have scripted removing any local profiles incase it was something left behind.
Checking the event Logs on TS2 I see several errors that appear to relate to Group Policy and correspond to when users have connected in.
any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Gnome-keyboard-shortcut issue

Hi,
I've configured keyboard shortcuts in gnome-keyboard-shortcuts to launch firefox, evolution. They work fine when i configure them, however after a xorg restart they act wierd.... I have to press the button several time before it opens..
for example, i press the firefox key.. and start doing ps -ef | grep firefox but nothing...
after pressing the button 4 times (interval of 10 seconds in between) firefox finally opens.
same deal with evolution and rhythmbox.
its not that my system is slow because if i click on the icon it opens up in 1 second.
I just dont know how i should diagnose this. Thanks for the help

Illustrator CC issue with pressure sensitivity and blob brush.

Hello I ran into this issue yesterday and can't seem to find a way to fix it.
When using the blob brush, pressure sensitivity with my wacom intuos 5 works as expected. However if I switch to the regular brush tool and draw with that tool then switch back to the blob brush tool, pressure sensitivity stops working until I open the Blob brush's preferences and change any setting then click OK.
My machine:
Retina Macbook Pro
Core i7 2.3 Ghz
16GB RAM
Nvidia 650M 1GB
OSX 10.9.2
Illustrator 17.1.0
Already tried:
- Deleting Illustrator's preferences
- Reinstalling Wacom Drivers
- Reinstalling Illustrator
Yet the problem persists. Any ideas? Is this a bug?

I was having the same problem. I wanted to use the blob tool and it was set to 2 point from a previous session. Every time I went to use it I got a 5 point round brush with no pressure sensitivity. It drove me crazy for awhile until I finally tried setting the blob brush to something different. After that it was fine, and I could switch back to 2 point and it began to work as expected. It seems like there's a small hiccup somewhere.

Illustrator CC issues, not opening legacy files or fonts?

Using CC for a few weeks and I am not yet convinced of its quality over my faithful CS5. I have an issue with files not opening, they may once when I start Illustrator, but then they do not again. Illustrator doesn't freeze, it allows me to carry on with the file I am working on but I can not open any legacy file?. I have tried opening by double click, by file>open, I have opened a legacy file back in CS5 copied the graphics and attempted to paste them into my CC document and nothing, the only way I can get around this is to shut the program and or machine down and start again?
Also the same with fonts, if I have a file open, and open fonts afterwards, Illustrator has a mind of its own whether it wants to show the fonts or not. Some days its happy to, others it has a bad day and will not show them in the list at all no matter how many times I reload them, only a shut down fixes this?
Is there a preference I am missing to allow legacy files?

There's no problem with opening CC files in CS5, I am finding when CC starts being problematic I am downsaving my CC file (current file I am working on, as I can still use this) to a Legacy CS5 and finishing the job in CS5 just for speed as I can then open my original CS5 files that I need without issue.
It is peculiar, it has just done it again, I can start up Illustrator and it will open a legacy file, but a few hours after use, I try to re-open the same legacy file and nothing, no error, no file opens, nothing, I can still work on the file I am in, but no joy with opening the old file.
There is a clash, or preference inconsistency, I just can't figure out what it is yet, I was hoping for ideas from the good folk out there .......

Adobe illustrator memory issues

Hi
I have a customer who is using Adobe Creative suite CS2. She has been using it for a couple of years quite happily but recently we upgraded her to windows vista business.
After a re-install of adobe creative suite illustrator keeps coming up with the following error:
(if you can't see it it says theres not enough RAM)
There is 2GB of RAM in the system and without any other programs open it is using just under 1GB of RAM.
Would it be advisable updating the RAM to maybe 4GB, or is is it a bug in Vista or Illustrator?
Any help would be appreciated.

It's a compatibility issue, but a sporadic one at that. Sometimes legacy apps go looking for specific versions of DLLs that long have been surpassed by newer ones and then they can't find the correct memory address offsets. As to why it happens is unclear and seems to depend on what updates and specific extra components are on the system. If the issue cannot be resolved with compatibility mode, you may try hunting for the Microsoft Visual C redistributable packages (MSVC70 and up) and .NET runtime 1.1. Just download the full standalone installers and run them. if all of the components are already on your system, nothing will happen, if not, some bits and pieces should be installed. This may possibly fix the problems you experience...
