Mac CS5 Illustrator rectangle/round rectangle stroke problem...

I have an IMac with 10.6.3. and have CS5 installed. But i have encountered a problem in Illustrator.
When I draw a rectangle or round cornered rectangle I can't stroke it below 1 point. It just snaps back to 1pt.
It is fine though when drawing a circle, star etc. in the same tool.
The blue outline and handles go completely out of position if I align the stroke to inside or outside. And then if I
reduce the stroke I can BUT it kind of cuts the rectangle weirdly.
This is a BIG problem...please help someone.

n,
You should untick Align to pixel grid in the transform palette/panel.

Rectangle Stroke Problem

Hi, I'm fairly new to Flash, and I'm trying to create a
preloader. I drew a simple rectangle with a stroke and a fill.
However, when I select the border of the rectangle only one side is
selected. What do I need to do to select the entire rectangle
stroke border and not just one side?

don't single click - double click - if all lines are
connected or intersected, they will all be
selected on double click.

Adobe photoshop cs5 stroke problems

Dear Adobe Team,
We are using adobe Photoshop CS5 in our HP Workstation machine, but since we changed our OS in windows 7 we are facing stroke problems.
Like whenever we draw a straight stroke than it does not go straight it becomes curve type. Please find the below attached image of stroke.
We are using cintiq Pen display & HP z420 workstation.
So requesting you to kindly provide the solution ASAP

Well, works perfectly here... (PSElements 6 “Mac”)...
Select your image or specify an area...
Go to Filter / Render / Lighting Effect.../ and specify your desired options...
If that doesn’t work, delete the preference file...
If that doesn’t work either, you might have to reinstall PS Elements...

Problems with Illustrator CS6 not accepting stroke weights with decimal points

So I have been using Illustrator for almost 10 years and have never run into this one. When enter a stroke weight on a line with a decimal point like .25 or 4.5 is keeps rounding the number up. For example I enter 0.75 and it makes it 1 point or I enter 5.5 and it makes it 6 point. Whether I enter the number manually or pick from the drop down (0.25, 0.5 or 0.75) it keeps rounding my strokes to even numbers. How did I do and how do I fix it?

Thanks from me too! Was also very frustrated by this.

CS5 stroke problems

Hi guys.
Yeah, i know, actually there's a discussion here about cs5 stroke problems.
But my problem is a little bit different (sorry if i'm wrong).
If i just draw an open path i can use any stroke weight i want to, but if i join the path with another open path or close the path that i'm working, it automatically changes the stroke to 1pt and i can't change its weight.
Well, i could be wrong, but any adobe program uses XML in order to create anything and any file, right? So, is there any way to change this information edditing this XML?
Maybe this can help us to change some settings that we cannot change after we create a new document (like "align new objects to pixel grid").
Thanks for reading.
Cheers.

That's not the normal behaviour. Elaborate what you're doing in detail.

What is the background of that assumption?

CS5 Illustrator Multiple Glitches??

Hi,
first post so hello to all.
I've been an Adobe user for 16 years and the new CS5 glitches are driving me mental.
I'm getting the below issues and i'm hoping someone can offer some guidance to if it's a program problem?
1) Strokes seem to be snapping to 1pt or above regardless of changing manually by typing in to strokes setting or by choosing the specific measurement in the drop down window in stokes pallete for example a 0.5pt etc.
2) The Align and Distribute item doesn't seem to be working correctly. They are definitely not aligning a set distance from each object
for example 10 boxes across the same horizontal line (ungrouped) do not distribute evenly. Sometimes sorts out on restart but restarting too regular and disruptive. It's a couple of pixels easily.
3) Brush strokes seem unresponsive to stroke weights at times and similar to Stroke problem snap to one weight and then wont change.
I've been using CS for many years and only encountered this problem with the CS5 version upgrade.
4) Moving items on the artboard/workarea, again moving seems to be clumsy and not as spot on as previus versions. Zooming in and moving seems to have a large era of movement and snapping to certain areas even though I have checked through various settings to see if snapped to point etc.
I thought there might have been an upgrade or patch for this but couldn't find one. Contacted Adobe and no help unless i'd like a support contract.
I am working on an IMAC – 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM with Mac OSX 10.6.6 operating system. 1920 x 1200 monitor setting.
If anyone could advise I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Jp

All of those are due to a setting you chose "Align to pixel grid". Turn it off for the document and perhaps for all the objects it's already been applied to. It's in the new document dialog for new documents and in the transform panel for existing documents and objects.

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Illustrator CC rounded corners on placed photos

Illustrator cc rounded corners how to make? Placed photographs need rounded corners. Cannot make it work.

Make a rounded corner rectangle the size that you want and use it to make a clipping mask. It is the same method used if you look up "how do I crop a photo in illustrator.

Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop is not responding frequently. How to rectify?

Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop are not responding frequently. keep crashing. Any solution?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mylenium,
My imac processor 2.66GHZ intel core i5

When I try to launch CS5 illustrator, sometime it is not responding. It also happen after I launched illustrator and I was just doing some basic design, change type and zoom in and out.
If I opened both CS5 illustrator and photoshop, while I was working on illustrator and when it start not responding, photoshop also become not responding and vice versa.
I hope this information is adequate for you and troubleshoot for me what's wrong with my mac.

Windows 8 - Photoshop CS5.1 crashes upon startup. Error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Hello!
I've had the student version of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium software for several years now.
When I received my Windows 8 computer I installed the software with no issue.
Last week when I tried opening Photoshop I get the following error: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I deactivated and uninstalled the entire Creative Suite then reinstalled it. I am able to open the other programs, but still receive the same message for Photoshop.
What can I do?

I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
It appears this forum is dead?!
Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

Rounding off value problem in sales order

Hi All,
This is related to a rounding off value problem in sales order.
The problem is described by an example which is as follows -
Selling Price of Material A = Rs. 176.76
Excise charged = Rs. 21.80
Total Price = Rs.176.76 + Rs.21.80 = Rs. 198.56
On this total Trade Discount (ZDTD) having access sequence,is calculated at the rate of 4% = Rs. 7.94
But the condition base value after the discount is showing Rs.198.60 instead of Rs.198.56
I want the system to reflect the value as Rs.198.56 intact and it should not round up to the nearest value i.e. Rs. 198.60
Why is this happening? Is it possible to reflect the exact value? If yes what is needed to be done?
The commercial round off is activated for the DIFF Condition Type.
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your suggestion but the problem has been solved by me.

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.
