Intersect bug with Smart Guides

The December updated didn't fix the intersect bug with Smart Guides. Previously it would snap to the intersection of paths and show you the intersect point. With CC it does nothing. Just passes straight over. Would you please fix this. Having to use AI CS5 just so I can work on the maps I need to produce. Thanks.
Anyone know how a work around/fix to this until we get it fixed by the AI guys?

Never mind... a little more digging and found the solution in this thread:
Add anchor point tool not snapping to intersection point

  • Can't align objects or paths to guide intersections with smart guides (or at all)

    In AI, smart guides indicated "intersection" when I am drawing a path or moving an object to align to the intersection of two guides, when I release the mouse, the object I am moving/drawings jumps slightly off the intended alignment intersection.  IfI continue to try to move it to align, it jumps to the other side or back to where it was but will mot match the intersection. What am I doing wrong?

    Lightgeist,
    In addition to what Lutz said, is Align to Pixel Grid ticked in the Transform palette? If it is, you may select everything and untick it, and untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the Options (and choose another document type or change the defaults).

  • Problem with smart guides in CS5 with converting type object to outlines.

    Hi There,
    I recently upgraded to Illustrator CS5, and am having some issues with the smart guides.  I create some type with the text tool, then convert that type object to outlines.  Now, when I want another graphical object to "snap" to any of the anchors of the outlined text graphic, the smart guides don't kick in!  The problem does not seem to occurr if I make a standard graphic with other tools, only when I create a graphic from a type object.  I need to be able to snap to graphical objects that are created via the convert type to outlines command.  Has anybody experienced this issue before?  It's kinda frustrating.
    The issue didn't seem to happen in CS3, and I've noticed the design of the smart guides is a bit different in the CS5 version as well.  Am I missing something?
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    When you switched to CS5 did you turn on view >> snap to Point
    If your snapping tolernace is set to a small value, you may need to zoom in more to get snapping to work, or just increase the value. Also make sure you have the appropriate items checked (eg:Anchor Path Labels)
    Edit Preferences >> Smart Guides >> Snapping Tolerance

  • Bisecting a line segment with smart guides?

    Is it possible to use smart guides to place an anchor point exactly in the middle of a line segment?

    Assuming the segment is straight, Object>Path>AddAnchorPoints will add an anchorPoint at the center of the segment.

  • Bug with Smart Albums, Faces & Places.

    I have recently got married, and we have got a good few hundred photos added into iPhoto (for a total of a few thousand). And we've spent a good while making sure that everybody is tagged correctly in Faces and all the Places are correct.
    My wife has then asked me for all of the photos with her and her grandma. Easy; I create a Smart Album with Match all of the following conditions: Face is "Clair" and Face is "Granny". I end up with a few dozen photos containing both of them.
    Then she asks if we can just look at those which have both of them at the wedding reception. So I simply added an extra condition to the smart album of Place is "Reception". But instead of getting a handful of photos -- a subset of the previous album, as expected -- I end up with a few hundred pictures! This modified album is taking all those pictures which are at the correct place, but now have either Clair's or her grandmother's face in them.
    Is there something obvious I've overlooked, or is this a genuine bug?
    Thank You,
    Warren Merrifield

    I set it to "all", in both cases. If it's set to "any", I get even more results (all the pictures from the venue, regardless of who is is them plus all those with Clair in and all of those with her gran in).

  • Anyone notice the Smart Guides bug in CS5?

    ID CS5 has a Smart Guides bug when resizing frames to match the size of other frames.  When releasing the mouse after the Smart Guides pop up showing the sizes are equal the frame size changes.  When analyzing this it appears the frame does not resize to where the SmartGuides popped up but where the cursor is located.  There is also jumpiness between the position of cursor and where the Smart Guides pop up.  This behavior occurs vertically and horizontally.  While some jumpiness still exist, it works reliably when frames are aligned.  In other words, if a frame is resized to a point where two sides are aligned then the size of the frame does not change when the mouse is released.
    I have verified the bug in both Windows and Mac versions of IDCS5.
    None of the behavior exist with Smart Guides in ID CS4.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

    Thanks for checking Peter.
    I am using a laptop, Mac OSX 10.5.8, with ATI Radeon X1600.  The issue still existed wtih my Wacom tablet mouse and a Logitech mouse.  I also just uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and the issue still existed.
    This issue also exists on an iMac with Windows 7 running ID CS5 for Windows.
    Are you using a Mac by any chance?  The issue does not exist so much when the frames are aligned.  So, if you are trying it out and Smart Guides creates a line connecting the two frames you need to move them out of alignment.  Also, if your cursor is dead center over the edge of the frame all is ok.  What it's really doing is snapping to where the cursor is and not to where the Smart Guides popped up.  I'll be really surprised if you're not seeing it with a Mac.

  • Smart Guides Bug??

    I've been struggling with Tech support since May 22 over the problem with Smart guide not working in Illustrator CS6. Support has recorded my system twice during Connect meetings poked around in my preferences and accomplished nothing. I've added screen shots to Case on the support portal hoping there is a solution but Tech support always emails saying they tried to contact me but were unable. Basicly Smart guides are not showing the dimensions in Illustrator CS6 and leaving a screen artifact. I've deleted the preferences as tech support suggested, reinstalled Illustrator CS6 as tech support suggested and nothing seems to fix the problem. Smart guide work with Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS6. Both are on the same system as Illustrator CS6. My question, anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug? Tech support always tries the same old "let me review your case" and then proceeds to do nothing.

    I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5. There's another thread on this at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4924146 but no one over there has a solution either. I've also filed a bug report on it, figuring the more people report the bug, the more likely they are to fix it. Here's the bug report page for anyone wishing to do the same: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I sure wish they would fix this, because it's very annoying to not have these measurements when you're doing precision work. It's been seven months since you reported this and apparently no one has addressed the issue.

  • In CS6, smart guides don't appear to be working correctly.

    I'm having some trouble with smart guides in Ai CS6. They are on. However, when my cursor intersects a guide path, words like 'intersect' and 'guide' do not appear, as I have seen them do for others. Also, the 'heads-up' information display that shows the width and height, e.g. when using the grid tool, does not appear either.
    The guides are working to some extent, it seems, since I do get green lines here and there.

    dustOfRumors,
    If you have Snap to Grid on, it disables the use of Smart Guides, so you may turn it off, if.

  • Are Smart Guides no longer reliable? Free transform is finnickey as well....

    I've noticed that, since downloading CC on its release last year (and keeping consistent with updates), there has been a noticeable unreliability with Smart Guides. I will have a rectangle, for example, that I want to snap to a guide or another shape. The green text will pop up, saying "Guide," so as to let me know it is going to snap to the guide, but it doesn't. I set it down, and it's a nudge or two or three off. Has anyone else encountered this?
    I've also noticed a difference in free transforming. It doesn't always happen, but take, for instance, the rectangle in the following series of images. I click it with the Selection Tool once, then attempt to stretch it upward. The bounding box containing the shape is suddenly not form-fitting around the rectangle, and when I stretch, it doesn't stay put the way it should. The bottom edge of the rectangle is moved up, as if the shape is centered within the wrongly-sized bounding box. Is this part of a new feature that I'm not aware of? Would love to get to the bottom of this. It's a hassle having to direct-select the edge I want to pull up.

    This is what I'm referring to:
    As to your second question: don't ask me ... :-)

  • Illustrator CC Free Transform not Snapping to Guides, No Smart Guides

    The Free Transform tool in Illustrator CC won't snap to Guides, and Smart Guides don't seem to work either.
    I have all the options checked in Preferences > Smart Guides > Display Options and the Snapping Tolerance turned way up.
    In CS6, Free Transform with Smart Guides allowed you to snap to paths, points, alignments and guides.
    Also: Any way to hide/minimize the Free Transform popup?

    James,
    Depending on the urgency of your plight, you may await some cleverer suggestions, or read on.
    When seems to be wrong for no apparent reason, and it is not limited to certain (existing) documents, you may consider the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps, unless someone comes up with a cleverer suggestion.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 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 Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder Other options (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, and reinstall.

  • CS6 - 'Smart Guides' aren't vissible

    I have a love-hate relationship with Smart Guides, but I need them.  After installing Illustrator CS6 (Production Suite) on my Mac Pro (2 x Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12 Gb of RAM) I can't toggle Smart Guides on!  Whether there is a check next to the menu item or not, it doesn't matter.  I've gone into Preferences and turned on everything under the 'Smart Guides' section... nothing.
    Help me! I need my Smart Guides!

    Never mind! They magically reappeared!

  • Smart guides not working

    Hello,
    I'm working in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
    In Preferences, I set Smart Guides to 30 degree angles and clicked on Construction Guides.
    In View, I clicked on Smart Guides (command U).
    However, when I click on an anchor point and try to move it 30 degrees with Smart Guides to guide me, they don't show up.
    I've tried restarting the program and turning Smart Guides on/off, but nothing seems to work.
    Any idea why the Smart Guide lines don't show up?
    Thank you.
    Joe

    No, I don't think Pixel Preview is the answer.
    I've used Smart Guides effectively for years in Illustrator CS3 without Pixel Preview.
    Often I draw my objects in Illustrator to appear isometric. So I turn on the Smart Guides to help me draw at 30 degree angles.
    As I said, I've done this effectively for years. It's only recently that I noticed that the 30 degree angle guides are not working effectively. On some documents they appear correctly, some they don't appear at all.
    I wonder if this is a glitch is CS4.
    In the most current document I have, I am able to draw a stroke/line at 30 degrees using Smart Guides. I click to establish an anchor point and then move my curser to establish a second anchor point. When I go to click the second anchor (to create the line), 30 degree Smart Guides appear correctly. I am not in Pixel Preview mode.
    However, when I try to move an object (or 2 or more selected anchor points), the 30 degree Smart Guides do not appear.
    Can someone try to duplicate the above and see if they get the same results?
    Thank you.

  • Turning off smart guides breaks pen line

    Has anybody noticed that if you switch smart guides on or off (with Cmd+U) while you are drawing with the pen tool it breaks the path. You have to go back and draw from the last anchor point. Sometimes smart guides help, sometimes they're a pain, depending on what part of a path you are drawing, so it's useful to be able to turn them on or off while you are drawing. Is there a workaround? (CS3).

    Thanks Kurt and Mon. This works fine.
    However, there's another thing I noticed while I was playing around with smart guide prefs:
    It seems there is no way to disable Angles, not even if you try to delete all figures from the 6 boxes. At least, I can't get Custom Angles to work that way. Smart guides always seem to revert to 90° & 45° Angles. When drawing with the pen it's often useful to see where other anchor points and paths are, but constrained angles are a pain.

  • Better appearing smart guides labels

    It is good work with smart guides, but when I draw line, it snaps when I do not want also.
    It is because of big snapping tolerance which I can set in Preferences.
    Smart guides labels disappear very very soon too. Because of it people who draw lines or select them they must be VERY CAREFUL.
    It is not good. No relax. It is stressful.
    It would be nice, when snapping tolerance is not too high - about 2 pixels - and I can reliably grab handles (labels ALWAYS appear).
    Because now when I work in Illustrator, smart guides handles sometime appear, but sometimes not. It is very irritating and I can not feel free to draw. It would be nice when the smart guides labels always appear when I am next to handle top, or next to point. It does not matter, when anchor is selected, or not. Labels always appear when I am going over it, or close to it. It would be very pleasant.
    An I can Always reliably grab them - not depenting on snapping tolerance. Always reliably grab them.
    Then I can comfortably and reliably draw lines with small snapping tolerance also.

    9.1, Mavericks, no.
    This may be related to advice here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1321605
    We're creating prototypes for sites and to circumvent the issue of InDesign not placing objects on whole numbers we're using a 1px x 1px grid... it could be that this interferes with the smart snapping and snapping of objects? We could swear though that we had both the green smart guide lines appearing and this grid simulataneously?
