Issue with Mouse in Illustrator

Anyone having issues using the mouse in Illustrator CC?  The best way to describe it, is to say it "skips".  When I drag a point or object it will drop the point or object and pick up another element, it takes a number of attempts to get it to move everything properly.  My laptop is a touchscreen, not sure if that is a conflict, I do not have the touchscreen option in illustrator on.  Besides replacing my mouse again, does anyone have suggestions?  It also seems just to be an issue with illustrator.
Thanks

Hi Suzala,
Try to exit touch workspace from Illustrator.
Exit the Touch workspace
When you exit the Touch workspace, the last used workspace is activated. Do one of the following in the Touch workspace:
Tap in the app bar
From the workspaces menu, choose a different workspace.
If detached, attach a keyboard to the device
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sumit Singh

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • Issues with eyedropper in illustrator CS4

    I've just moved onto Illustrator CS4,a nd ahve discovered several glitches with the eyedropper tool, in that you will try to sample a fill and stroke from another object, and it will show in the stroke and fill boxes that it has taken on this appearance, but the object itself doesn't change. Or sometimes it will take on the stroke, but not the fill. the only way i've gotten around this is to use the pathfinder tool to divide the object by itself, and then the eyedropper seems to work. major pain though.
    does anyone know if there is any way to stop this happening?
    thanks

    Check your graphics driver configuration and install a new one/ different one. Also check your color profiles, should you be using any. Since sampling is done at the preview level, there may simply be an issue here where it sometimes cannot correctly "see" what's beneath. Also of course look for invisible layers or visible layers with seemingly nothing on them. Some of them may have appearances applied that would "block" everything. Sometimes a drop shadow on a stray line or point can have the weirdest effects... Other than that I'm not aware of standing issues with this, but anything is possible.

  • Issues with save in Illustrator CS4

    When I try to save a file in Illustrator it takes ages for the "Illustrator Options" dialogue to appear, upwards of 30 seconds. During this time illustrator is frozen. I have tried saving a file with just a single line in it and all swatches brushes etc deleted and this still occurs so it is independent of file size and complexity. Also it happens regardless of the file type I am saving, eps ai etc.
    This also occurs when saving a file with the same name (Ctrl+S), it just takes ages and freezes Illustrator in the meantime, though obviously no dialogue box appears.
    Once the progress bar appears it seems to progress at the correct speed, it's just there's that initial long pause before saving commences.
    Files also open at the right speed.
    Saving different files in other programs e.g. psd files in Photoshop works fine, so I'm sure this is an Illustrator problem rather than a drive or hardware problem.
    I am running CS4 on a PC and have run updates recently. This problem just started occurring a day or two ago.
    Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated!

    ok i think I've got this sorted. I found the thread where someone was having a similar problem because of installing a new printer so changed my default printer to adobe pdf (even though I have had the same printer for years) and this solved the problem.
    A new conflict must have just started for some reason, perhaps something to do with switching to cable broadband and the new equipment related to that (?)

  • Anyone having Bluetooth issues with mouse and keyboard with mountain lion?

    Installed mountain lion yesterday and since the restart my bluetooth on my computer is not working properly and it says "bluetooth not available" Any ideas or suggestions on a fix.  I have already tried re installing mountian lion with no luck.

    Did you try these steps? They worked for me and a couple other people:
    1 - Turn on automatic login: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Click the lock to make changes > If Disable automatic login is checked, uncheck it > Pick your user account and password > Ok.
    2 - Shut down your computer.
    3 - Turn off your keyboard and mouse: For keyboard and wireless trackpad you hold the power button until the light goes off.
    4 - Start your computer.
    5 - Once your desktop has fully loaded turn the keyboard and mouse back on, everything should work.

  • Issues with mouse clicks/jumps after using CleanMyMac App.

    Since using this app. my hitherto slightly slow responding iMac has required multiple mouse clicks and is less/unresponsive.
    Anyone else used this software?
    As yet have not approached CleanMy Mac.
    I have reinstalled Mountain Lion (download) not clean install.
    Any suggestions? Is there a separate app for mouse that I can reload. Im guessing a minor chunk of code was deleted along with rubbish.
    Reg25x

    Uninstall CleanMyMac and do not reinstall it.
    CleanMyMac is one of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing system corruption that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Get rid of it and test your Mac for operation. If it does not perform normally, the possibility that Cleanmymac resulted in system corruption must be considered.
    The vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site are the direct result of having used garbage like that. Never install such junk on a Mac.

  • 2 issues with mouse and keyboard

    I have 2 issues that just cropped up 1) right click no longer works on Magic Mouse- 2) the volume and music  keys on keyboard do not work either.  I reset SMC and PRAM removed preferences -rebooted etc- nothing worked HELP!

    I trust you have checked both, (a) mouse settings and (b) keyboard settings in System Preferences, so that right-click is enabled, and the function keys are set to "special features"...?

  • Mouse/Keyboard issues with Mountain Lion

    Has anyone had issues with mouse and keyboard functionality with Mountain Lion?  I have two iMacs and a Mac Book Pro, but this iMac is the only one I'm having trouble with.  First, ML somehow prompted Razer Nostromo drivers to stop functioning(just for macros).  I just figured I had to wait until an update was released(which btw hasn't happened yet )  However, I also use the Razer Naga and I don't believe that the Naga is the culprit, but I could be wrong.  For the past week or so when I single click, it registers as as a double-click.  It is SO annoying.  Has anyone experienced this?  I have gone over all mouse and accessibility settings and nothing helps.  I have downloaded the updated drivers and nothing works. 
    Thanks in advance for all responses,
    Ashley

    I didn't think of doing that, but I tried it and the problem does not occur when the right mouse button is primary.  However, when I switched it back to make the left button primary, the problem returned.  Would this indicate that it is a hardware problem or could it implicate the drivers as well?  I suppose the mouse would make sense since I do not use this mouse on my other two items with Mac OS X.  What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Ashley

    I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
    Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
    So thanks! Problem solved!

  • Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

    Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
    "The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
    I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

    I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
    Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
    I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

  • Thinkpad X1 Mouse Issues with USB 3.0 Dock and WIndows 8.1

    I have a new X1 (3444-CUU) that I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. When I connected to the Thinkpad USB 3.0 Dock, there was an automatic updated of the firmware on the docking station.
    Everything seems to be working except issues with my Keyboard and Mouse.Periodically, the mouse will disappear of the keyboard will simply stop working. Most recently, it was as if the delete key was stuck causing it to delete all my email (actually a feature I liked but unfortunately, can't allow).
    Is there a known issue with wireless keyboard?

    I have a possibly similar issue that seems to be related to the keyboard dock. In my case this is with logitec unified receiver, but what I found may help you narrow the issue's root cause.
    I found that after a reboot, the dock's USB ports (bothh SS or USB 3.0) will not recognize logitech's unified receiver. Even though it is Windows reporting it, it seems to be related to the hardware. What I do to have minimally invasive 'functioning' system is to undock the Helix (use as tablet). This makes the genuine USB 2.0 port of the tablet accessible. I then plug the receiver into that port and wait until the mouse is recognized. Then remove the receiver, re-dock the tablet on the keyboard dock and plug the receiver into the dock's usb 3.0 port. Then everything works.
    That seems to somehow circumvent part of the refreshing of the USB connected devices and allows them to work correctly.
    I wonder if that addresses your issue. Of course I am opening another thread and ticket with that issue (will post a link after that)

  • Any issues with using Illustrator CC with PhotoShop CS6?

    I have the CS6 Suite of apps and my company is considering buying me Illustrator CC because of compatibility issues I have with a coworker who has Illustrator CC.
    I copy artwork from Illustrato to the clipboard and import into PhotoShop all the time and was wondering if this activity would work seamlessly with Illustrator CC and PhotoShop CS6. I also sometimes export artwork from Illustrator to be opened in Photoshop.
    I would guess this if fine but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone else has had issues with running different versions of software like this.
    The artwork from Illustrator CC would also need to be compatible with InDesign CS6.
    Thanks much
    Dave

    Dave,
    It should work fine, but your company cannot buy CC for you, only pay for a subscription.

  • MAC OS X 10.6.3 issues with iTunes/Magic mouse

    This is strange. Somehow I was able to upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6 to 10.6.3. How was that possible? I did this about a week or so ago. 10.6.3 is not available on Apple's download site today 2-7-2010. How did I get access to it?
    A couple of weeks ago, I bought the Snow Leopard CD and installed it over my Tiger OS, without any problems. Then i bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse which prompted me to upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.2., as well as upgrade the software to the wireless peripherals. Went to Apple's download page and somehow downloaded OS X 10.6.3. Hmmm? I also installed the latest security update at this time too. After all installs, at this point, I wasn't experiencing any issues with my laptop.
    But then, I upgraded iTunes to 9.0.3. At this point I started experiencing problems after shutting down and then booting up the next day. iTunes began playing music slowly, music wasn't garbled, but the songs sounded out of tune (playing from my hard drive). Also, my wireless magic mouse got jumpy and exhibited delayed reaction. I ended up reinstalling OS X 10.6 (from the cd) over the existing OS (10.6.3), and now iTunes works just fine. The reinstall of OS X 10.6 from the cd did wipe out my software upgrades for the wireless peripherals and i have yet to upgrade them. i'm just glad iTunes is working well again.
    My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem? Why was my mouse also displaying problems? And how was I able to get OS X 10.6.3 from Apple several days ago when they don't have that version available for download on the site today? Confusing.

    My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem?
    Even if a user has access to the beta, and knew of an issue they are working on, he/she would not be able to comment on it here. This forum is only for OS's that have been released and is covered by a Terms of Use agreement.
    Sounds like you got an unintended update in some sort of fluke accident, and since you've removed it, there's no way of telling what caused the problem or if it was the OS or program or both.

  • Having issues with Illustrator files in CS5

    I recently uninstalled CS4, needing the memory space. Now I am having issues with Illustrator CS5. When I go to open the program, i am receiving this error message: "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem with the windows registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?"    so i click "yes" and the program opens, but then when i go to open a file, the AI icon doesnt show up on any of the files, it takes forecer to open, if it even opens the file - sometime i get the message "cannot recognize file type".

    Your install never finished properly. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall all your Adobe software from scratch with proper admin privileges and security tools turned off to prevent interference.

  • Issues with iFrame elements in Illustrator

    Currently I'm having issues with adding an iFrame element to an extension run in Illustrator.
    I'm using Eclipse 4.3 to run extension build 3, release 3.  I've created the basic project, and I get the extension to function correctly when there's just the basic button.  Further I can make changes to the button (change the text) and it continues to work.
    However, when I add an iFrame element to the extension it seems to crash.  The extension window opens and then immediately closes.  There are no error messages from Illustrator, nor are there any errors in any log files from adobe/illustrator.
    Here is the line I'm attempting to add to the basic starter application in the index.html file:
    <iframe src="http://localhost:8080/tests/testfixture/" width="150" height="150"></iframe>
    Also I can manually load index.html file and it works correctly when opened by Chrome.
    I am using Illustrator CC 17.1.0 32/64 bit.
