Illustrator will not cut rectangles.

Using the Roland GX-24 plotter to cut vinyl and the Illustrator print to plotter plug-in, the program refused to cut rectangles. (with the exception of lower case i's) This includes Capital I's, lower case l's, hyphens and rectangles using the rectangle tool.
All other letters have no issue cutting. So long as they're not a single rectangle.
This anomaly was experienced using several files, tested on old and new. So its not an issue with the file.

Well, wouldn't it stand to reason that this is more a bug/ flaw in teh plug-in? AI doesn't care what a shape is made of and will apply all operations equally to all paths. That not happening with rectangle shapes in your case must mean that the plug-in/ prinetr driver is not requesting the necessary program operations like splitting paths or inserting extra points to stabilize them. in any case, I really think AI can't be faulted here, so check with Roland if this is a known issue and whether they carry an updated, fixed version of the plug-in/ driver.

  • Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

    A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
    This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

    Nobody ever solved this

  • CS5 Illustrator will not open, or quits immediately

    Hello! I have had CS5 since 2010. I have had no problems with my software until a few months ago, particularly with Illustrator. My Illustrator will not open, and if it does, it automatically quits after about a minute. An error box pops up listing problem details and system configuration. Any idea of what could be happening and how to fix it? Your help is really appreciated!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like crash logs.

  • Illustrator will not open my files! HELP!

    Hello,
    My Illustrator will not open my files. At first I will launch the program open a file then the timer just spins and spins as if its thinking but nothing ever happens. The menu on the dock says its not responding. If I leave it like that for about 2 hours it will eventually open. But when I work and save again I get the same thing, application is not responding unless I let it sit there for a few hours. I reinstalled the software and nothing seems to be working.
    Please help. This is wasting my time and very frustrating.
    Thanks;o)

    The files I am trying to open are standard CS3 .ai files... I'm not on a networked server. Its just my computer with my licensed software.
    I'm creating a website so there is some type and some placed images. But this problem happens even when I start a new file and draw an image with simple illustrator tools. Do you think I have corrupt preferences?

  • Illustrator will not open certain files

    Certain files that I created in Illustrator will not open when I try to open them. I try to open the file and the AI application opens but the file itself does not. If I right click on the file and select properties, under security it says I have no permissions. However on other files created at the same time I have permissions and they open in AI just fine. thoughts?

    That is strange, but if this is on your work computer, your should probably contact your system administrator to set it so that you have permission to use these images.  If this is on your home computer, you should be able to change the permissions on your own.

  • Illustrator will not place an image

    Illustrator will not place an image. No dialog box. Nothing.

    Yes it worked with one image place then stopped. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried resetting preferences. Now I don't get a dialogue box when I file open either.

  • CS3 Illustrator will not launch...help?

    Hi All:
    CS3 Illustrator will not launch on my MAC 10.4.11 all of the sudden. I created a new user on the same computer and it launches fine. All my main info and updates are on the "main" same computer where as the "new user" computer recognizes the same computer as being basically new. I tried to trash the CS3 prefs and even trashed CS3 in total and reinstalled it to no avail. ANy thoughts. Right now to use CS3 Illustrator I have to switch back and forth on the same computer to use Illustrator. Very frustrating indeed.

    Also reset the Preferences two ways hold the sift option command keys while relaunching Illustrator or for a more thorough reset quit Illustrator and trash the following Users/Username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings trash the settings folder.
    BTW What type manager are you using?

    Hey there mello12,
    It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone. You should use these steps in the following article to help resolve it, or setup service if needed:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Adobe Illustrator Will Not Startl

    So...I don't know what's going on. Last night I was using Illustrator CS2 just fine and dandy. Took my computer to work with me as I usually do...used it throughout the day like I usually do...then when I got home I proceeded to get open Adobe Illustrator CS2 as I usually do and it shows the start screen where you can see it's loading fonts...and then about when it should be opening the program...it closes with no error messages or anything.
    I created a new user account called "TEST" and followed the same steps and Illustrator CS2 opened just find and dandy. But on my main account it will not load.
    Help, advice and suggestions are more than appreciated as I work in a printing company and use Illustrator frequently (with the exception of today that was spend in Quark all day). Thanks

    You might consider searching or posting your question at . You're much more likely to find some help there with an Adobe product.

  • Illustrator will not open files

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe Illustrator 11.0 for Windows (running on Windows Vista), and for some reason I am not able to open files that were previously created with the same software, on the same system, on the same computer.
    The files will not open whether I double-click them or even if I try to open them after I've opened Illustrator first.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
    You run as administrator or adjust your user privileges in your group policy editor plus you tell your virus scanner or otehr security tools to keep their hands off AI files. You are running a legacy software on a system it was never tested on, so naturally there will be problems. Those old apps not being compatible with Vista's and W7's security stuff is one of them...
