Selection tool and rotate...help

Hi! I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
I'm using Illustrator CS2 on a Windows machine.
If I create a new object (lets say a rectangle) and with the object selected, I move my selection tool outside the bounding box I'm not getting the "rotate" icon so I can rotate the object. It just doesn't show up.
I've got Illustrator CS2 installed on my laptop, and on my laptop this functionality works fine.
I cant figure it out. I've probably got some preference setting goofed up, but I don't know what it could be.
Any Ideas?

Never mind, I found the answer here in this forum (View > Show bounding box).
I'm really not lazy..I tried search before posting.

I would like cut out an object using the quick select tool and drop the object into another picture. Can anyone help

I am using background pictures and want to cut out objects from other jpegs using the quick select tool and drop them into the background picture. So if i have a banana and select the object i need to copy the banana into the other background.
Hope this makes sense.
Gary

Select banana. Right click>layer via copy. Move tool. Click and drag to other file. Drop on image.
OR: load the background and banana in one stack (File>Scripts>Load File Into Stack). Select banana and layer via copy or create layer mask.

When working with quick selection tool (and not only) the whole psd file gets damaged.

Hello there,
Since I first tried Photoshop CS6 on PC I encounter the following problem: when I use quick selection tool at some point the selection gets completely random and I see parts of my artwork disapear. Even after closing the file without saving the changes I see the artwork completely corrupted, without any possibility to recover. As if parts of the image were deleted.
The problem persisted after I changed to Creative Cloud on Mac (I'm running OS X 10.8.5.)
I have just seen that it also happens when I work with regular layer masks.
I desperately need to fix this problem because I cannot keep using hours of retouching work again and again.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Julia

I am also having the same exact issue. This is the third time this has happened in about six months. I use the quick selection tool and I see a alpha mask that looks truncated and it show random parts of the image in the mask which has nothing to do with the selection. But the worst part of this is that my retouching layer the only other layer comes back completely empty even if I try to save the file in various other file types like tiff and it comes back empty. I'm losing a lot of retouching time here. I also hope some else has an answer.
Thanks
Mike

Select tool and Tab randomly stop working

When filling in a form in Reader, the select tool and Tab between fields feature sometimes stop working at random. Right clicking the field and then left clicking (not on Paste menu) seems to work to allow writing in the field again. Sometimes this also restores functionality, sometimes it doesn't. This slows things down a lot in a setting where I need to enter data as quickly as possible. Any advice?

You'll find more information and suggestions for backing up and manually replacing the prefs in the comments here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool and ActionScript

If I have a movieclip with ActionScript in it, I need to
toggle between
Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool to view the code as if
the movieclip
has two dimensions in which I can place two different codes.
What is the purpose of this?
Which code has precedence?
Can these codes be in conflict?

I do not know what is attaching script and placing it on the
timeline
I have a one-frame clip created using Insert--NewSymbol
Then I select this mc from the library, open the Actions pane
and type the
code.
Next time I open this mc and I the Actions pane may show
nothing, unless I
press Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool

Difference between 'Selections from' and 'Search helps' in some HR program

Hi,
I notice at the top portions of some programs like Payroll Driver and pre-DME program there's two separate pushbuttons, 'Selections from' and 'Search helps'. What's the diff between the two?
Because to me, both seem to have same functionality, i.e. to further filter the records.
When I create customized programs, usually I use logical database pnp, and by that, we are adding 'Selections from' at the selection screen to help further select.
So my questions:
1. Why is there another button to help filter? Since both have same functionality to filter.
2. What's the diff between the 2?
3. Can somebody confirm the 'Search helps' is really for filtering?
Thank you.

Hi,
If this spool is being generated internal to your program, then sy-spono should have the value.

I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
Thanks.

To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

PSE 12 Selection Tools and their uses.

I have recently upgarded from PSE 8 to PSE 12 and am lost.
How do I find the selection tool that makes circles around the selected area which I then can copy and paste into another image please.
I am seventy seven years old and not computer literate so please if you can give click by click instructions. I could do it with PSE 8 but the selection tool for circles is hiding in PSE 12
Thank you,
Brian.

Click on the rectangular marquee tool in the Tools Panel.
Click on the Circle in the Tool Options.
Hold down Shift while drawing your ellipse - this constrains it to a circle.
You can then Ctrl+C to copy the selection and Ctrl+V to paste into your new image.
Cheers,
Neale

When I click on the "quick selection tool" and try to select something, it just "draws a line"

When I click on the "quick selection tool" in Photoshop CS5, and try to select something, it just "draws a line" as if the diameter were very thin and it dones't select anything.
Thanks.

Selection tools and path tools similiar to Auto

I use AutoCAD a lot at my work and the selection tools/methods in that program just beat the heck out of illustrator's. Adobe should adopt some of those: select last, select previous, selection groups (not Groups as they already have, but just groups for selection purposes only).
Also, illustrator could use and TRIM and EXTEND tool similiar to AutoCAD's. EXTEND extends one or multiple lines to another; trim trims one or multiple lines to another line.

> not Groups as they already have, but just groups for selection purposes only
Select>SaveSelection.

CS4 Control of Selection tool and Cropping tool errors in Windows 7

The cropping tool and some selection tools seem to work poorly in my Windows 7 machine. How about yours?

They work fine here too. Possibly resetting the prefferences would cure the problem. I'd give it a try especially if the tools had worked then stopped.

Crop Tool and Rotate by it

Dear all,
In Photoshop CS5, it is possible to crop an image and rotate its edges manually.
Sometimes, it is possible to crop an image and move each line of the crop, BUT cannot rotate it and the rounded arrow does not appear when hover at an angle.
Sometimes, when cropping, it is possibel to rotate, BUT without the ability of moving each line of the crop.
Sometimes, when cropping, cannot moving each line of the crop and the cropping appears with fixed ratio.
1- How can I control these situations?
2- How can I move each line of the crop and rotate it?
Best Regards.

Out of curiosity (using Ps CS5 32 12.03 on XP, OGL/GPU not active) I opened what appeared to be a grayscale .bmp file....
and it did crop with rotate OK,
Checking color mode it was RGB, so changed it to grayscale only, and voila, crop with rotate still works.
So all files, so far, work the same way....correctly handling crop with rotate OK.
Also tried on Ps CS5 12.03 Win7 64 laptop with OGL active, and it all works OK too.

Animate using Puppet tool and rotation. Continually rasterize messes it up.

In After Effects CC....Trying to animate a vector arm using rotation and the puppet tool. The animation looks good until I hit the continuously rasterize button on that layer. Then it gets distorted and chopped up. I need it to be continually rasterized so that it is not pixelated. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be awesome.

I get soooo frustrated with the puppet pin effect!
I import an illustrator file, select the continuously rasterise switch and apply the puppet pin effect.
I find that AE just doesn't like AI files with the puppet pin - mesh seems to get all screwed up. If you apply any scale to that AI layer, it's even worse. REALLY difficult to work with and to me, it seems like there are some bugs when the source is an AI file - am I wrong?
Your issues are probably occuring because you're not using the puppet pins correctly. This page in the AE help should help explain things. Here's a relevant portion:
Note: Don’t animate the position or scale of a continuously rasterized layer with layer transformations if you are also animating the layer with the Puppet tools. The render order for continuously rasterized layers—such as shape layers and text layers—is different from the render order for raster layers. You can precompose the shape layer and use the Puppet tools on the precomposition layer, or you can use the Puppet tools to transform the shapes within the layer. (See Render order and collapsing transformations and Continuously rasterize a layer containing vector graphics.)

Selection-Screen and Search Help

I'm trying to show a Search Help (using trabstrip) from an internal table, but when I execute the code, search help is showed twice.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the code you posted won't pass a syntax check. You have an extra form statement, a missing endform statement and an extra endcase statement.
But have you put the assignments to ti_estejec in the INITIALIZATION event??

How to activate the select tool and enter drawing mode in pages

In pages 5.0 if you want a pure drawing document you have to turn off i.e. unclick Header, Footer, Document Body in the document setup and the arrow tool will replace the text curser tool. When you unclick document body you will get "are you sure" and say yes.
first choose a new blank document
click setup in the upper right corner
and uncheck the document body
and when the dialog box pops up choose remove
to avoid any header and footer issues also uncheck the header and footer
Now you basically have the Apple works old draw environment.

That is not necessary at all.
Just click away from all text and objects then select the Drawing tool from the Shapes icon.
It is actually one the distinct improvements in Pages 5 over Pages '09. Not perfect but a big step forwards.
