Pencil & Paintbrush Tools do not show line while drawing

I am using CS4.
When I use the Pencil Tool or the Paintbrush Tool, I do not get the blue dotted "preview line" I am supposed to get. Actually, with the Paintbrush Tool, isn't it supposed to show the actual brush stroke as you paint?
Anyway, it's very difficult to draw when I can't see what I am drawing at all. The final line only shows up when I release. Is there some setting I am missing?
thank you

Oops I do not know what happened I went back and as I realized that I was seeing it with the pencil tool and now I see it with the paint brush.
I wonder why I wasn't seeing it seeing this?
I would say reset your preferences on Windows i think you hold the control alt shift keys as you restart Illustrator. Or you move the Adobe Illustrator CS (#) Settings folder to a new location.
C:>Documents and Settings > User >Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS2 Settings

  • The lines I create with the pen tool are not showing up in After Effects.

    I'm working on a project where I need straight lines. I've added the lines using the pen tool on solid layers, but they are not showing up before or after rendering. I can see where they are supposed to be when I isolate the layer they are on. I have the lines at one pixel, solid white and the layers are on top of everything else. I took a screen shot. Can anyone help me?

    Well, I am still not 100% sure why the pen tool lines/masks are not showing up but I was able to work around it. I already had the stroke effect applied and set to all masks. Looking into this though, it seemed that they were only not showing up on the new solid layers I had created. I duplicated the layers the masks were  working on instead and it seems to resolve the problem for now. Thanks for your help!

  • Error for Budget exceeded for Network does not show up while creating PR.

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We have an issue while creating a purchase Requisition from Network. When we enter the Toatal Amount in the PR and if the total Amount is greater than the total Budget for the Network, the error "For item 001 Ntwk actvty XXX &  WBS element XXX budget amount XX USD exceeded " is not showing up in the foreground by the system and hence not able to create PR. It seems that while trying 30-40 times, the system will show this error in the foreground once or twice only and we want this to be appears in the foreground consistently. Can you please advice how to fix this? Thanks,
    Reagards,
    Imran.

    Hi,
    you need to maintain sufficient budget in respective WBS element by using transaction CJ30 and by releasing budget through CJ32.
    Check the budget availabilty in report s_alr_87013558.
    It will resolve your issue

  • New users not showing up while trying to set folder permission settings

    Server 2012
    This is a new virtual domain server and file server in a starwind cluster, I just started migrating users last week.
     This last weekend (two days ago) the cluster crashed while doing windows updates on this server. I have been unable to get it to download any updates since without crashing, not sure if that is related to this issue somehow.
    I added some new users today and got them all logged in and their data transferred over. good. But then I went to this shared folder that everyone has a mapped drive too and tried to add them in the security tab of a sub folder but their accounts will not show
    up when I search for them. Any account I added previously to last weekend  show up, students, mine, etc.
    even if I select the exact OU the accounts are located in, even if I type their whole name and domain. In AD the accounts are there.
    If I log into the backup domain controller Their accounts show up there while in a folder security settings tab. They are listed in active directory on both domain controllers.
    I have exhausted myself on Google search.
    What the heck did I break?
    Maybe I should run 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    Not sure if I will lose any data doing that or what the repercussions would be..

    Hi Dustin,
    If the DC is having USN rollback issue, we can resolve it by demote then re-promote or restore the DC using a supported method such as using System State backup to restore.

  • S_ALR_87013543 report not showing line item correctly

    Hi all,
    The S_ALR_87013543 report or any other cost plan report not showing the line item report correctly.
    eg When the S_ALR_87013543 report executed it showing 100 as a plan value against one of cost element when we double click and go to line item report it showing only one entry of 50 which is wrong.
    when i checked the COSP table for the wbse with that cost element it has two entries with value type 1 and 29. value type 29 says value from sales order and 1 as plan .
    My query is why S_ALR_87013543 report not showing the correct value or shall it not pick the value from value type 29.
    regards
    Shiv

    Screenshot of report  attached,.
    when i checked the drill down report for line item it says no line item found.
    Any idea what went wrong

  • FS10N GL Balances not showing line item details

    Hi Expert,
    i am unable to see the posted document in FS10N. i ve check the Button in FS00 Line Item display.. and save it.

    No items selected (see long text)
    Message no. MSITEM033
    Diagnosis
    No line items meeting your selection criteria could be read. This could be for the following reasons:
    1. No corresponding items have been posted.2. You are not authorized to display this data.3. The items have already been archived.4. Migration from classic General Ledger Accounting to new General Ledger Accounting: In migration phase 1, postings are only made to the account for the non-leading ledger

    Big hello for you too my friend My 2 babies are taking all my attention! I am missing my old times here!
    See, you have to understand when you have posted your GL account in 2013 you had only balance information stored. It means you have no data stored in table BSIS. When you activated Line item display this issue stands.
    You won´t create entries in BSIS if you check that flag. Thus you only will have items from now on.
    Have a test. Post new entries and check. they will appear.

  • Google tool bar not showing

    I have downloaded and installed the Google tool bar. I have the tool bar checked but it does not show up. It appears the menu bar on top drops down to make room for the tool bar but the icons never show up. I can't figure out what is blocking it from displaying or if there is an issue with Firefox 4. Using window 7.

  • Hierarchical tree not showing up while running the form

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a problem while running forms in 10g AS.
    The hierarchical tree control is showing up when I run the form in my local development (win xp) system. But, when I run the same form through my 10g Application server(linux), the hierarchical tree control is not showing up.
    Can anyone suggest some solutions ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sundar K

    Hi Andreas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The form shows a blank square-box, instead hiearchical tree. I can see other controls like text-box, LOV, command button on the same form.
    The java console shows,

    The problem persist, even though I change the appsweb.cfg file to use frmall.jar instead of frmall_jinit.jar.
    I'm using 10g application server (iAS 10.1.2.0.2).
    Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

  • Tool Selection Not Showing Up Properly????

    Hey Guys,
    i really need your advice. For some reason the tools in my photoshop are not showing up correctly on the cursor when they are selected. For example, normally when you click the brush tool, the cursor changes into a circle which shows you the size of your brush, but for some reason, all i am getting is a little " + "
    Have i changed a setting somewhere? Does anybody know how i can get the cursor to go back to the way it should be. I just want it to be a circle when the brush is selected so i can see the size of my brush.
    Your help will be very much appreciated.

    Thank you Dave, that sorted it.

  • Why CAN tools are not showing under Measurement IO in LabVIEW 8.2? NI CAN 2.3.2 is installed

    Hi,
          The CAN tools/API are not showing in LabVIEW .I am using LabVIEW 8.2 Evaluation Version.
    NI-CAN 2.3.2 is also installed. Why it happened?
    Anybody please reply

    Hi Pree,
    NI-CAN 2.3.2 was released in 2005 (before LabVIEW 8.2 got released in 2006) and thus does not support it. Any newer NI-CAN version has support for LabVIEW 8.2 (I recommend using the latest version):
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0EDC?opendocument&node=1...
    The NI-CAN readme file lists the supported programming environments.

  • PAP2 not showing Line-2

    I upgraded my PAP2 with Sipura 3.1.5 Firmware and now it doesn't show Line-2/User-2. Any thoughts..?

    What is the model number for the Sipura firmware did you use? SPA1000 firmware only has one line but looking at the sipura site, they do not have a 3.1.5 firmware for the SPA1001. It odd that you will lose the Line 2 portion of your SPA.
