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.

  • Text problems with Illustrator CS6

    Hello. We are having problems with text in Illustrator CS6. 1. When we copy / paste text within illustrator all color information is lost. 2. When we save documents in Illustrator CS6 then re-open text with color attributes changes to different random colors!! For example: If we save an Illustrator document with a paragraph of text that is part red and part black when we re-open the same paragraph might be all gray, or orange or (you pick a color). Can anyone help us here as this is causing no end of grief. Mac OSX 10.8.2

    As promised. This is the response received from iClipboard re the text color problems with Illustrator CS6.
    "Sounds like an Adobe problem especially given their last fix which changed how they worked with the system clipboard. We don't mess with any of the data put on the system clipboard. We simply make an exact copy of it and store it in iClipboard. It's a READ operation, not a WRITE operation so no data on the clipboard is changed. We use standard Apple API's to do all of this (proof is that iClipboard is in the Mac App Store--Apple's review process doesn't allow undocumented API calls)."
    My thanks to the people at iClipboard however the problem still exists. I'll sum up the issue this way. I have created a paragraph of text in Illustrator that combines black text with red text. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard running and the pasted text is all black. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard disabled and the copied text maintains the color information. When I save the Illustrator document with iClipboard running then reopen the black / red text reopens as grey / orange. With iClipboard disabled the reopened document is fine - go figure. The problems only occur with text - images are fine though they were a problem with the first version of Illustrator CS6. Anyone got any suggestions??

  • Illustrator CS6 not recognizing installed fonts

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Illustrator CS6 on Win7 x86 on one of our users' machines. The font Arial Narrow is installed, MS Word / Framemaker pick it up and you can use it, but Illustrator and InDesign won't see the font. So my user can't use Arial Narrow as the family so can't select the font for bold/italics/underline. He can only choose narrow as a sub style of the Arial family, but Arial Narrow has been installed seperately.
    The font has also been placed in the Common subfolder for adobe softwares, but after that it still won't be found.
    What has been tried:
    Uninstall and Reinstall the font
    Add font to font folders for adobe products (both common and product specific)
    Clearing Windows and Adobe font caches
    All these steps have not solved our problem. Can the community please be of assistance?
    Regards,
    Ben

    Thanks for your answer. I see Arial as a font and Narrow as a style for that font. This limits my user because he can't choose Arial Narrow-Itatlics-Bold for example. The Arial Narrow font family (Named ArialN, ArialNB, ArialNBI, ArialNI) has been installed, they are TTF files. These files have been placed in the adobe common folder as well.
    I have used control panel fonts and dubbelclicked yes. I have also tried installing the fonts as shortcuts. I have removed, reinstalled, the works.
    Also the fonts are the latest from MS yes.

  • 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.

  • IBookstore soon not accepting ibooks made with IBA 2.0?

    When delivering my first iBook via itunes Producer, I got a warning letting me know that the iBookstore would 'soon' be not accepting ibooks made with ibooks author 2.0 - does anyone know when that is exactly? I have one more book built using this version so trying to get it done asap...

    This would truly make a good piece to submit as IBA feedback. (To improve the chances of it being read to the end, I would recommend to remove the judgemental parts of the piece and trim it down to the bare facts before submitting.)
    Not that I don't agree with the judgemental parts

  • I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures.

    I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures. The illustrator drawings look fine with the pattern fills and when I bring the drawing into quark 9.1 they are still fine. When I print the quark file to lo res pdf drawing is still fine, but when I print to hi res pdf (press quality for print) the patterns disappear. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
    just a note. Other textures and artistic fills work fine. It seems to be just the basic ones. I'm wondering if for some reason they may not be saved completely in my libraries?

    Its just a drawing in black and white with some basic graphic texture to show “dirt”  The pattern consists of a bunch of small lines. I save the file as an eps. And bring it into quark.  When I print from quark I say print to pdf as press quality. I don’t think the problem has to do with acrobat because I’ve never encountered these problems before CS5. These drawings have been around for years and all of a sudden they don’t work.
    Does this help?

  • Down pmnts with taxes are not permitted when processing with jur.code (Message no. FS206)

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing very critical issue on down Payment request, to process with saperate Tax Value.
    We are supporting on Roll-out for Germany. We have implemented all standard SAP processes in the Project. We have also implemented many interfaces and one of the Interface is Sabrix Tax Engine (Tax Jurisdiction Code).
    As per the Germany legal requirement, the Tax has to get calculated whenever the funds gets transfered from one Bank Account to Another Bank Account.
    Coming to the issue: In the Customer Down Payment scenario, we are creating the Down payment request for Customer and as per Germany local requirement the Tax of 19% has to get calculated on Down payment.
    For an Example: We have the Sales Order Contract Value of 100,000.00 EUR and we are creating the Down Payment reqeust of 10% which is 10000 EUR + Tax 19% 1900 EUR.
    We are trying to post the Down Payment request in F-37 and we get the issue "Down pmnts with taxes are not permitted when processing with jur.code". This error is appearing due to Sabrix Tax engine (Tax Jurisdiction Code) has implemented in our System.
    We have gone through the SAP notes 97288 and 213567 and understood that the Standard SAP does not support us to post the Down Payment request with Separate Tax Value, when the External Tax Engine has implemented.
    I request you to suggest me, if you have already seen this issue in any of your Projects and fixed through the work-around solution. We have been working on work-around since 2 weeks, however no result.
    Below is the error message:
    Down pmnts with taxes are not permitted when processing with jur.code
    Message no. FS206

    HI Preeti,
    Thanks for your response. We have already seen the similar SAP notes and the SAP notes explains that the "Down pmnts with taxes cannot be done along with with jur.code". The only solution is to post the DP without Tax.
    However there might be some workaround which can be done in SAP, to process the Down Payment/Advance Payments with Tax Value along with Jurisdiction Code. I would like to know this.
    Did any one seen this case in your experiece, if yes, what is the work-around solution?.
    Need your help guys!,...

  • Mouse problems with Illustrator CS6 and Mountain Lion

    The mouse in Illustrator selects and deselects as it moves over buttons and cells:
    1. In Graph data the cells the mouse passes over go dark grey if not already selected, then deselect if they are selected. This makes it very difficult to use the data cells.
    2. In Layers window, where I may have 100s of layers, I want to hide one layer or more which are not necessarily adjacent to each other. Illustrator hides all of the layers it passes. It is very difficult to click and unclick the show/hide button (and also the lock button). Ditto with show or unlock toggle layer. I had to start up in Lion in which Illustrator does not have this problem in order to get a job finished in time.
    Seems there needs to be a fix for Illustrator to work properly in Mountain Lion.
    Has anyone found such a fix?

    No I don't have Right-Zoom (don't know what it is), but I have the same problem with Apple's Track Pad, which I don't use much and I only use the inbuilt software.
    I use Kensington Slim Blade and before that LogiTech's marble mouse and both need their software to work properly.
    All of them work fine in Lion and earlier. Could it be that Adobe has overlooked some new aspect that’s in Mountain Lion which, in my case, needs to be fixed for Illustrator?

My computer is a Macbook pro retina with 2.6 GHz processor intel core i7 and 8GB memory. I have a lot space on my disk and this had never happened.

  • New line will not accept stroke settings

    Sometimes when I place a new line in illustrator, it will not accept the stroke settings that I try to give it after I draw the line and remains at no stroke, no fill.  This doesn't happen everytime.  Once it does, the only way I can get to line to accept any sort of stroke is to first assign it a graphic style and then change the stroke setting to what  I am wanting.  Has anyone else had this problem and it there something I may be doing to cause this?

    Angela,
    If it happens randomly while you are working with Illy, I am not sure, but it may be worth trying to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup or to Move the folder; both will reset the preferences, the latter more tediously but reversibly and more thoroughly.

  • Surface Pro 3 with Illustrator CS6/CS3

    Hi there,
    before I want to buy the Surface pro 3 I have a few questions. The main reason I want to use it for is to work with Adobe Illustrator.
    1) I've installed CS6 student edition on my desktop pc at the moment. Is it possible to use CS6 student also at the Surface by using the same license as on the pc.
    2) Can I use the pressure sensative of the brushes in Illustrator CS6 with the Surface 3 pen?
    3) If it's not possible to use CS6 on both devices, I have also the older Illustrator CS3 student edition. Has anyone tried to use this pressure option in the Illustrator CS3 on the Surface pro 3?
    4) Could you generally advise to use Illustrator on the Surface pro 3. I've read that the GUI symbols are very small. Has anyone experiences?
    Thank you so much,
    ktoffler

    You shouldn't have much problems with the surface. The only thing I can think of is the issue of the higher resolution. Since illustrator is an older version is is lacking the features for higher resolution monitors. You may need to lower the resolution to make it easier to see and use. Other than that you should be fine.
