selection tool doesnt work in illustrator cc 2014.

Hi officeisbig,
While we are working on a solution, if you can upgrade os to 10.9, the issue should get fixed.

  • Selection tools not working properly -- Illustrator CS6

    The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly.  They don't select the object when I click and drag a box around them and the handles on drawing path won't stay highlighted when I use the direct selection tool so I can adjust them -- Worked in Illustrator for about 12 years and never had this problem.

  • Activate Artboard using selection tool - Not Working in Illustrator CS6

    When using Multiple artboards, typically you just need to click within an existing artboard to activate it as the selected artboard.  For some reason this function is not working for me suddenly.  I can still activate an existing arboard in the artboard panel, but I am working with 40 artboards, and it's much more efficient when it automatically selects the artboard you're working on as the active artboard (for aligning, pasting, etc...).  Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

  • Direct selection tool not showing anchors illustrator CS3, Mac 10.5.8, MBP 2.6 GHz

    With the direct selection tool (white arrrow) moving over an anchor they show up, but even if the anchor is selected the anchor blue box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle.  I can still move an anchor, but its hard to select two anchors to joint the paths etc., sort of like driving blind.  If I click on a path, then hold down the command key, the hollow box anchors show up and the cursor changes into the selection tool.  The hollow boxes show up on selecting using the selection tool (black arrow).  I am pretty direct selection tool was working correctly last week (am an occasional user).
    I've know the difference between the select tool, direct selection tool, and group selection tool.   I think this happened a year ago and deleting a preference file helped.  I, quit illustrator,  deleted "com.adobe.illustrator.plist" in my user library, and tried again.  that didn't help.

  • HELP!!!! Path selection tool not working.

    Earlier today my path selection tool was working fine. I was able to add vectors and move them around. Now all it is doing is moving the
    whole shape instead of the selected vector. I tried restarting the program, opening different projects and I even tried rebooting the PC all together. Still works the same. I dont know what happened or how to fix it. I really wanted to push out a project before 5pm CST I would be ever so grateful if someone knew how to fix this.

    Hi, LarissaPryor. I'm afraid you've made a wrong turn somewhere, since Photoshop Elements has no Path Selection tool, so you must have full Photoshop. Better to ask in the appropriate Photoshop forum. For windows:

  • Selections tools not working properly in Photoshop CC 2014

    Just installed Photoshop CC 2014. For some reason I cannot get my quick selection tool and quick mask to work properly. I can make a selection but when I try to make a mask I get all kinds of artifacting going on. I try to use quick select to clean up the artifacting to no avail, in fact I start to get different artifacting in the selection that cannot be removed by the brush tool. HELP. To bad I uninstalled Photoshop CC. Can I reinstall Photoshop CC somehow? Anybody out there with the same problems? The focus area will not work also?

    At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
    Not ok.

  • Illustrator CS - Selection Tool not working correctly

    Hi all...
    A customer of ours has an odd Illustrator CS problem. When she tries to use the Selection Tool to select any item, it auto-selects everything. Even if she uses the selection box by dragging the cursor over anything, it selects all the different items in the image.
    Has anyone seen this or fixed it before?
    Many thanks!

    How about this?...
    With the selection tool/black arrow tool, you can select the object, change the color or opacity and move it...but can't un-group it.
    With the direct select tool/white arrow tool, when you try to select an individual shape to make slight changes to the path...the anchor points will show up as you mouse over them, but nothing shows when you click on the path.
    When drawing a new shape with the pen tool, the anchor points don't show as you draw the shape. No handles appear...but the shape shows up. It's like feeling your way around a dark room on instinct.
    ...and it's only doing this in one particular file. When another file is opened all the quirks listed above do not happen. Each tool works as it should.

  • Quick Font Sampling Not Working in Illustrator CC 2014 18.1.0

    I just updated Illustrator CC 2014 to version 18.1.0 and have lost a feature I've come to depend upon to try out different fonts. I don't know what to call the feature, but this is how it worked:
    With a type box selected or type highlighted, I would go to the font menu and with my up/down arrows on my keyboard, start going through the list. This would cause the selected text to change. It was a super quick way to run up and down my font list to see what different type would look like.
    Any ideas what's gone wrong?
    What I'm running:
    iMac OS 10.9.5
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB RAM
    FontExplorer X Pro 4.2.1

    Hi Satinder,
    I can change the font with the arrow tool, but it wouldn't change the text block I was applying it to unless I then hit "Enter." In the previous version of AI, I didn't need to do this until I landed on a font I wanted to use.
    However, after an hour-long chat with Adobe, they were able to see my issue and provided a very simple fix:
    1. Quit Illustrator CC 2014 18.1.0.
    2. Go to: User>Library>Preferences>Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings, select the folder "en_US" and change its name (they had me rename it to "2en_US")
    3. Relaunch Illustrator and the problem should be resolved. Illustrator creates a new preference folder.
    4. You can go ahead and delete the original, renamed preference folder.
    I hope this is helpful to others that have had the same problem.

  • Have selection tool defaults changed in Photoshop CC 2014?

    I've just noticed this new behavior.  If I click on the Polygonal Lasso Tool Icon, it automatically flips over to the regular Lasso tool.  If I click on the Magic Wand icon, it flips over to the Quick Selection Tool. If I click and hold, I can get the tool I want, but if I go to another tool then back to the Polygon Lasso icon, it flips again.  If I click L, it works as it should, if the Polygon Lasso is visible in the Tool Bar.
    Is this a bug, or a new default behavior?
    Thanks
    Edit:  Upon further experimentation, this seems to be common with all the tools;  if you change to the non-default tool, it will flip back to the default tool if you click on it later.  I'm pretty sure this is new, because I used to leave certain tools activated, then click back on them as needed.  Since this appears to be a default, can it be turned off?

    Could be.  I tried restarting, closing and reopening Photoshop.  I just noticed this today, and I've been using CC 2014 since it came out.  I'm using it on a relatively new iMac, but I don't think it has happened before, though I could be wrong.  It's not the end of the world, but it is an annoyance.
    Thanks.

  • ILL 10 selection tool not working

    I'm working in Illustrator 10 on a Mac, 10.3.9.
    When I use the selection tool and click on an object or text block I no longer get the bounding box. If I select a circle it is selected as if I were using the direct selection tool. I can no longer scale an object using the selection tool or decrease the size of a text box. Any insight into this would be great. I don't know if I accidentally reset one of the preferences or if something has gone buggy with the program.
    thanks in advance.

  • The selection tool not working

    The selection tool in Illustrator is not functioning as normal. It won't allow me to automatically click on a path or group of objects and show the rectangular marquee that automatically gives me a corner to grab and scale the selected items. How can I get this function to work again?

    Sounds like you are missing the bounding box. Got to View>Show Bounding Box.

  • Selection tool not working... please help

    I am using Illustrator CS 5.1 and the selection tool has stopped working.
    It lets me select the object, but when I go to drag it I get an error sound and it won't move.  No error message appears so I'm not sure what is wrong.
    I've tried locking and unlocking all objects, and opening previously working files, but all now have this same problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've got a coursework deadline due next monday...
    Thanks in advance.

    Common accident.
    Precisely because it seems to be such a common accident (because B and H are too close to G on the keyboard) it's not a bad idea to redistribute your keyboard shortcuts. So if you think you are Grouping and accidentally hit Cmd+B or Cmd+H you won't get into trouble.
    I have redistributed a lot of mine. Things like Cmd+U for Ungroup (of course) and Cmd+Shift+G for Smart Guides, Cmd+L for Average (like it was in the old days) and that sort of thing. Keep more complex 3-key combinations for more seldom used commands and remember that a lot of commands are used so seldom that you go to the menu for them anyway.
    If you find some of the default keyboard shortcuts illogical or difficult to remember, just change them. It will make save you a lot of frustration in the long run. One sometimes wonders why so many of the commonly used keyboard commands were made more complicated in newer versions of Illie. Personally I can see no good reason for it.

  • My selection tool stopped working, it won't let me resize objects. Yes, show bounding box is on. Please help

    The selection tool won't let me resize objects. I have read different forums where they all say I just have to show bounding box, but not even this works. I have been using Illustrator for a long time and never had this problem before. Please help me fix this

    kimoen,
    In addition to what Larry said, the Adobe team are working on the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
    So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now, if that is an option, in which case you should reinstall after upgrading the OS.
    But you may get round it in a couple of ways while using your present OS.
    In each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • How do i get my direct selection tool to work properly?

    using adobe cc 2014 and all of a sudden the space bar does not turn the direct selection tool into the hand to drag a pasteboard.
    it seems universal across the above programs
    amazing how such a little thing kills productivity

    spooney,
    As I (mis)understand the issue, you may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. 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); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 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), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    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 (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
