Live shape layer properties illustrator cc is missing

Dear Sir live shape layer properties illustrator cc is missing advice me Thanks

asim,
If no one gives a good reason and a way to conjure up the missing bits, you may start looking at the general list below (and hope you will not need to go too far down that dark road).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 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 (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 (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    Dear Sir i am not able to find the Live Shape Layer Properties illustrator cc please advice me Thanks

    Sorry Asim, this is the Lightroom forum, not the Illustrator forum.
    I'm sure a moderator will move your question to the right place very soon.

  • Photoshop CC Live Shapes Properties Window Error

    When I create a rounded corners 'live shape' I don't get the correct Properties Window, it seems to show 'Mask' properties instead? So therefore I can't edit the corner readius. Sure I am doing something dumb - I must be missing something really obvious?

    You need Photoshop CC to use Live Shape properties. Just remember to use the Path Selection Tool and select the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel, to see the Live Shape properties again. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.

  • Missing Live Shapes function when closing and reopening Photoshop CC

    When I create a LIVE SHAPE in Photoshop CC edit the corners etc, close the file and then reopen at another stage, the ability to change the LIVE SHAPE properties has dissapeared.
    Is it a bug or am I missing something.
    Thanks in advance.

    Best way I have found so far is to use the direct select tool (A).  It gives you the properties on some of the shapes again.  It doesn't always work though. Half of my shapes work and half don't

  • Photoshop CC Properties Panel Live Shape bug

    I know this problem was being discussed in the Photoshop forum a few months ago, but I want to put it in CC forum, since it's a CC problem.
    I'm having the same issues as these people, where the properties panel doesn't always show you the live shape options and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Is there any movement on this?
    watch a video of the problem here

    Hi,
    It ends up being a design decision, based on limitations around multi-layer selection and multi-path selection. There were serious problems activating the Live Shape properties without making a deliberate gesture from users a requirement. That's why we only enable them when paths are targeted with the Path tool or Direct select tool.
    regards,
    steve
    SG... Why not make the Live Shape Properties appear when the Move Tool selects a layer, then Free Transform Path is activated? That is a deliberate gesture that is intuitive.
    That seems more natural than having to use the Path tool or Direct Select tool, which feels more like an awkward hack than a natural flow.
    Just making the Live Shapes selectable in the menu and/or assigning it a shortcut would be a step in the right direction.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CC Live Shapes Properties Bug

    Checking out the corner radii controls on vector shapes and it looked to be working, until I created a couple of other shapes. The Properties box inconsistently changes for the same kind of shapes.
    Link to vid to show my problem: http://cl.ly/PheD
    Looks like I can't go back to edit the shape for some reason. What would cause this? It's like the shape has suddenly stopped being a Live Shape.
    Cheers!

    Hello,
    As a couple of people have mentioned in this thread, the Live Shapes Properties panel displays based on which subpaths are currently targeted. By targeted, I mean that the anchor points on the path are visible and at least one is filled. Clicking on the shape with the Path Selection tool is the easiest way to target a subpath. You can add to the targeted subpaths by Shift-clicking additional shapes with the Path Selection tool (or Shift-dragging around the shapes you want to select). Using the Move tool won't work for this, since it only selects the layer and not the path(s).
    We implemented it this way because now that Photoshop has multiple path selection and there are so many combinations of ways to select different kinds of paths, it can get really buggy when Photoshop has to make assumptions about exactly what the user meant to select. This way, it's obvious which subpaths are targeted.
    We are continuing to look into ways to improve the way the Properties panel works for live shapes. I see that a couple of bugs are mentioned here in addition to the issue with accessing the Live Shape Properties panel.
    Not only does it forget that you have a live shape, you can not create a new live shape if the you have a shape layer selected.
    This should be possible. Could you post the list of steps you're using when you run into this problem?
    This bug goes a lot further than what you have stated, if you select the live shape from the tool menu on the left it removes the properties and the width becomes the width of the space.
    I'm not sure what you mean by this -- could you also post a list of steps?
    Thanks!

  • How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

    How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

    I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
    My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
    The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
    Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
    Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
    I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Gradient fill disappearing when converting vector/Illustrator file to shape layer

    Hi,
    When coverting a vector or Illustrator file (such as a logo) into a shape layer any gradient fill is lost. Is there no way to ensure the gradient fill is converted across or is this a matter for a future release of After Effects?
    Many thanks.

    That's a limitation of the current feature.
    If you want a different behavior, you can submit a feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

  • Shape protection and/or layer properties prevent complete execution of this command

    Hi, 
       I am trying to add attributes and operations to a UML class in Visio 2010. I'm getting the following error msg: Shape protection and/or layer properties prevent complete execution of this
    command 
      I've tried the other solutions on this forum (Developer/Protection/None and ShapeSheet/Protection = 0) without success. No protection is visible. Newly created classes also have this problem. 
      There may be an "upstream" problem -- when I double click a class or rt click to properties, nothing shows up. All clicks results in a beep until I hit Esc. If memory serves, properties should bring up a little window about the selected
    object. 
      If I create a new diagram, I get the same behaviour. 
      Any ideas or troubleshooting steps I can follow? 
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Jim 

    Hi,
    As far as I know, UML class shape’s  is producted by default. If you double click to edit the text then you receive the message dialog you mentioned.
    If you want to add attributes and operations. Please try to use the following motheds:
    Select the UML class shape’s and right-click -> Properties.
    Open the UML Properties window in the left of the page: ribbon UML -> Properties (tick)

  • Is live shape properties only available on CC?

    I am using adobe CS6 and can't find an easier way to manipulate shapes.  Wondering if this feature is only in CC.

    Live Shapes is a new feature in Photoshop CC.  It actual a new interfaces for doing things like rounded corners rectangles you can even change corners independently.  To do that in CS6 you needed to install a script.   Shape are not really hard to edit in CS6.   Shape are basically fill layer with a vector mask.  It is not hard to edit the vector mask Path using Photoshop vector tools like the pen tool path selection tools. In fact you can ever edit rounder corners rectangle corners without the script. But not as easy as with the script.

  • 3d constraints - shape layer materials, missing front

    Hi,
    Im a newbie to 3d in PS CS6
    I have some text converted to a shape layer and then converted to New 3d Extrusion. I have all sides for materials instead of the front. The front seems to have broken into Boundary contraints, so was wondering is it possible to combine these as a shape to apply material. Sorry if this a basic question as Im just playing with this tutorial:
    http://www.photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/text-effects/create-inspirational-3d- gold-text-photoshop-extended/
    Thanks
    lister

    anyway: without knowing what is the size of your doc, i'll give you a better workflow for editing etc:
    Open the image
    save it as a copy cylinderImage.psd
    create a new layer filled with black (for eg)
    select that layer and 3d / new shape from layer / cylinder
    then: in the 3d panel: select cylinder_material and right of diffuse click the tiny arrow and remove texture
    and then click the tiny arrow again and and load texture, browse and select the cylinderImage.psd you created earlier
    then if it goes to the top: click top_material and right of diffuse click the tiny arrow and remove texture
    it will jump to the cylinder part.
    this workflow may be longer but not hard and nearly foolproof

  • Photoshop CC Shape Layer Gradients Not the Same as CS6

    I'm demo-ing Photoshop CC, and I came across an unexpected behavior when opening a CS6 PSD.
    I have a shape layer that is composed of closed curves which use the path operation "Intersect Shape Areas." In CS6, I added a layer style with a tight gradient that is vertically positioned to show a certain part of the gradient, and the gradient seems to be confined to only the visible intersection of the paths.
    In CC, however, the gradient seems to be applied to the entire region of the paths, and not just the intersection - as if there were no path operation performed. Here's an image to show what I mean:
    The only way I could reproduce the desired effect in CC was to merge the shape components. But, I'd rather be able to keep the shapes editable at a boolean level.
    Is there some setting that I'm missing?

    I don't want to just start a new thread with the same topic so thought I would tag onto this one.
    The behaviour described by K_SEREBY is something which I am also experiencing, and for me is a bit of a deal breaker. For files opened in CC which were created in an earlier version gradient fills/ styles on shape layers do not appear the same.
    The only way to have them appear the same is to do as K_SEREBY says and "merge shape components", which is a completely destructive way of working.
    It isn't something which is consistent either across Layer Styles, gradients behave as described, whereas inner glow, inner shadow and stroke for example all work as they did before, taking into account shape interaction.
    Having said that using the stroke feature of vectors available on the top bar again works differently as shown in the below image. On the left the result of 3 interacting vector shapes with a vector stroke - no stroke visible. On the right the same shape with the same stroke effect but after merge shape components has been done - vector stroke visible.
    It's all very confusing and not very pleasant to use, is there a work around? The video linked doesn't shed any light on the problem at hand, only highlighting something else which doesn't even show up for me when a shape is selected i.e. Live Vector Properties, but that is another story.

  • Photoshop CC Live Shape Bug

    Running OSX 10.8.4. Photoshop CC
    After creating a group of rounded rectangles.. randomly they will change from having editable Live Shape Properties to just the Masks Properties --- the Live Shape little icon/button in the top of the Properties panel is missing and only shows the Masks icon. Eventually all the rounded rectangles will lose the editable Live Shape Properties. No rhyme or reason.

    Had the same problem. Turns out I needed to use the Path Selection Tool and click the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.

  • Shape layer questions

    I’m a web designer that’s used to using Illustrator for all my work. Recently many of my new jobs want me to work in Photoshop, so I’m getting back up to speed with it. I have a  few nagging issues that I haven’t been able to figure out:
    With the direct selection tool, how do I select a small shape that’s overlapping a larger shape? For example, a small line on top of a large rectangle. When I try to do this Photoshop automatically makes me select the larger shape in the background. I have to zoom in super close and individually shift-select each corner of the smaller shape before I can move/transform/whatever it. This gets tedious and slow real fast!
    Recently in a document I’m working in, whenver I make a new shape it automatically adds a bunch of layer styles like drop shadow, stroke, etc. These styles aren’t turned on, but it adds unecessary styles to my layers and my client is very strict about recieving only super clean .psd’s.
    How do I make a line that is truly 1px stoke width? My lines seem to always start out as fuzzy 2px worms until I zoom in and surgically make them 1px. Again, what a waste of time! is there some sort of antialiasing setting that I need to turn off?
    Thanks!

    1. With smaller shapes that are difficult to select, try selecting their layer first. If you are not sure which layer, switch to the Move tool (V), hold Ctrl and click on the small shape. With the default behavior in Photoshop you should be able to select the layer and then use the Direct selection tool to select points on the vector path of the small shape. If you want to just move the entire shape when its the only path on a layer, aside form using the Path Selection tool (black arrow), you can just use the Move tool (V) to change the position of the layer. If you have to deal with a lot of shape layers that you just want to click and move, enable the Auto Select for the Move tool in the Properties bar. Then holding Ctrl while using the tool will toggle to its non - Auto Select mode.
    2.On the Tool's property bar under the main menu, make sure the chain button is not pressed then click on the Style swatch or arrow to the right of the chain button to open the style swatch popup and from its menu there choose No Style. Next shape layer you make will not have the current style automatically applied. 
    3. I'm using CS5 on a pc and creating 1 px straight line with the Line tool is buggy with its alignment to grid. The Line Tool draws lines in Shape mode as rectangle vector paths. The difference between the Rectangle Tool and the Line tool is that the Line tool aside from having a Weight attribute, it draws the rectangles starting from the middle if its side. In order to snap it to grid you have to set the grid in the settings to Gridline every 1 pix and Subdivisions 2. If properly working this is supposed to solve your problem if you enable snap to grid and draw your lines starting in the middle of a pixel. The problem is that this doesn't work properly with the Line Tool which does not snap perfectly to the grid. The work around is to draw your lines with the Line Tool in Fill Pixels mode which has an Anti-aliasing option that you can turn off.
    Another alternative for drawing lines on raster layers without anti-aliasing is to use the Pencil tool and hold Shift while dragging with it. The Pencil Tool in Photoshop is the same as the Brush tool but without anti-aliasing. I think more proper name would be non - anti-alised brush.

  • [OSX] Photoshop CC bug - can't change Shape Layer colour from layers panel

    Hi there,
    I have a persistent bug where after a certain amount of time (potentially after the iMac goes to sleep and reawakes?) that after creating a new Shape Layer I can no longer change it's colour from the layers panel. If I double-click it the colour palette appears and it seems to record the colour but the Shape Layer does not reflect this. If I go into the Shape Layer bar at the top of the screen I can still change the Fill and Stroke.
    If I re-open the program it works again.

    Had the same problem. Turns out I needed to use the Path Selection Tool and click the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.
