Shape Builder tool not working on shapes in a clipping mask

Hello again,
Why is the Shape Builder Tool don't work on shapes inside a Clipping Mask? The Pathfinder does work but for the Shape Builder Tool: NADA!
Thank's for answering,
Lindberg

Hi,
Thank you for answering. No it will work correctly. The Pathfinder work inside a clipping path and in any situation but not the Shape Builder Tool. Unless this is normal, I think that the specialist at Adobe should have a look at this annoying behavior and try to release an upgrade with this behavior corrected in a near futur.
Thank’s again for answering,
Robert Marchand

If you release the Clipping Mask and try the Shape Builder tool then, does it still balk at making the shape?

  • Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

    How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool?   Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic.  You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
    Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either.  Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

    Have you tried this?
    From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
    Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

  • How do I join two letters using the shape builder tool?

    I am making a sign for my logo. The 'i' in my script face is long and overlaps the following letter which the sign maker's router will not read. So I would like to be able to use the shape builder tool to join the 3 instances where the letter 'i' appears each to the following letter. No luck so far. I have turned the type into points. I have highlighted the first instance, 'i' and 'c'. but the shape builder tool shows a circle with a line through it... not working.
    Anyone have an idea?

    It may take a combination of some of the Pathfinder tools, such as: Intersect, Merge, and Unite.  And, it may be a matter of manually going in and deleting some anchor points in the outlines.  Do some experimenting on copies of the instances.  Might be a process of elimination.

  • Shape Builder tool

    Hey all!
    I am working on a logo that has an anchor in it. I drew the anchor myself using the pen tool, straight line tool, and eliptical tool. It appears that everything is smoothly connected and I have rounded out the corners of my anchor, and also put a round cap on my adjoining lines.
    I then highlighted the whole anchor and pressed cmd+J (I am working on a Mac) to join all the edges in an attempt to make the anchor one whole shape, which I intend to fill one solid color.
    However, when I use the shape builder tool, Illustrator does not recognize my anchor as one solid shape. When you hover your mouse over a solid shape, the Shape Builder tool has a dotted pattern inside your shape. This is not happening in my anchor. I painstakingly went over each "joint" and made sure that they were connected, with no avail.
    There has to be something I am missing here.. Anyone have any suggestions? They are much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you viewed it in the Layers Panel? This is the easiest way to see how many paths really exist.
    You could also convert the selection to a Live Paint object and then fill it with the Live Paint Bucket tool.

  • Can't use Shape Builder Tool - getting circle with line through it.

    I can't find any setting or anything I can change to make the Shape Builder Tool work. Using latest version.

    Without more info, it can only be a guess, but be aware that the tool only works on selected objects. PRE-selected, that is.

  • Illustrator Shape Builder Tool:  After the latest CC update, the tool alters shapes once edited instead of just removing/adding the desired shape.  Anyone else run into this and/or have any fixes?

    I am using a PC and installed the latest update of all the CC programs I use (AI, PS, AE, etc.) and within Illustrator I've noticed the Shape Builder Tool doesn't behave exactly as it did in the past. (And not in a good way.)
    Previous versions allowed me to edit/add/remove shapes from one another without issue (leaving all shape paths as they were before the editing while making the desired alterations), but the newest behavior seems to alter existing paths once shapes are merged/deleted making the tool almost non-usable. 
    Not sure if there's a check box I'm missing or what, but have done some brief research on the problem and haven't found anything helpful.  If anyone has run into this issue and/or knows a way to correct it, I would greatly appreciate it
    Thanks!

  • Use "shape builder tool" on "boated polygon" FAILED!

    http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-traditional-russian-khokhloma-ornament-in-il lustrator--vector-24052
    i am trying this tut, but i can't do part 2 step9.
    First i can't do "shape builder tool" while select both the under shape and the cap.
    Second if i create another shape then do the "shape builder tool", the left cap is another "boated polygon" as the picture i attached. I guess the boat effect applied to the new polygon shape again.
    How can i avoid this automatical-shape-change thing?
    ALSO, i tried on other shapes too. I use effects on one shape, then i cut or delete part of it, i can't get the rest shape as i wished. Coz the rest part got the effect again and became a new one. For example i can't get a half flower when i use boat effect on a polygon shape, coz the rest half just became a new strange flower.
    Is there anything i did wrong????
    need your helps!!! PLEASE!!!!

    The problem is not what you did wrong, but that the instructions are incomplete, a common problem with online tutorials.
    After applying the Bloat effect, go to Object > Expand appearance. Then you can select the two shapes and delete the unwanted part with the Shape Builder Tool. Select the new cap shape, duplicate, recolor, scale, move. Select both cap shapes, create blend as I think you did earlier in the tutorial.

  • Shape builder tool changing sizes?

    Hello,
    I am using shape builder tool a lot to clean up dxf files generated from cad programs, where there are a lot of loose/open paths. I just noticed that when I join paths with the shape builder tool, the size of the form changes slightly. This effect is not occuring if I join the same paths with the slower step-by-step join command, and I can't see the reason for those minor size deviations?
    Is there a way to change some settings to get rid of this effect?
    Br, Jörgen

    I get a similar result if the strokes have an effect, such as "rounded corner" applied to them. Taking off the effect before using Shape Builder eliminates the issue.

  • Dark path's edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects

    hi,
    i have a problem with path edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects. This problem occurs when i draw bright colored objects above dark colored object. After that i have dark path's edges. Like this: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2051/dlm2.jpg     
    I have one solution (pathfinder->dive objects and delete some dark elements on the bottom) but maybe someone know another solution for this problem?

    Thank you for reply
    Unfortunately, I don't have opportunity to print it, but as you wrote, it must be a screen artifact. I exported this file to tiff, then i opened it in photoshop. Everything is ok. All of the edges are clear.

  • "shape builder tool" won't recognize colors

    Hey everyone,
    I am extremely new to illustrator and I have already run across a problem that has been frustrating me for days. When using the shape builder tool I used to be able to create shapes that retain the color of the shape I drag from. I have since done something to mess that up, now when I create shapes, my new shape has no color.
    I can get it to color solid colors but I really want it to recognize colors.
    Here is a picture of my settings if that helps.
    Thank you so much

    I've tried resetting teh AIPrefs and moving the folder, I thought I had the problem fixed at some points but I just can't get it to stay fixed. I just can't get "shape builder" to make new objects inherit properties of the old objects.

  • Build is not working in SAP NWDS version 7.0.09

    Suddenly the build is not working for my SAP NWDS version 7.0.09. It used to work fine before.
    When you create a DC and do a Development Component --> build . nothing is happening. In the
    General user output view, nothing is printed also.. I think the built is not actually happening now. So I tried uninstalling the NWDS and installing again. I also tried changing the default workspace. But still the problem do exist. what can be the possible reasons for this ? Please help.. Your valuable answers will be highly appreciated.

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

  • I am new to xCode and SDK Disks. My Interface Builder will not work and 'quit's unexpecteldy'. What can I do? I really want to create an applicaiton. Thanks

    Hi, I am a new user to xCode and just recently downloaded a SDK Disk image and also an older version of xCode from the Apple Developer site. I opened the 'Interface Builder' for the first time and it worked. Next, when I tried to open it again (with and without the xCode 'Mainmenu.xib' attachment file from xCode) it kept showing the message "it quit unexpectedly".
    I need to create an application for a project I am working on. If anyone who can resolve my problem of why the Interface Builder is not working, that will be great.
    If you need additional details (like which versions etc.) please ask, for I am desperate to find an adequate solution to this problem.
    Thanks.

    If you need additional details (like which versions etc.) please ask, for I am desperate to find an adequate solution to this problem.
    Without intending any disrespect, if you had suspected these would be questions and if you're in a hurry for an answer, then why did you exclude the information?  And yes, knowing the Mac OS X version (preferably Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.7) , as well as the Xcode version might shed some light on this.  Might.  And I'll presume there's a specific reason you downloaded what I will assume is an Xcode3 version.
    Was this an existing Xcode project, or did you start with a new project here?  If it's an existing project, it could well have a corruption or an incompatibility.
    Initially, I'd probably start with a new project, and load in newly-copied source files.  On the off chance the project is corrupted.
    Failing that, I'd deinstall Xcode using the documented procedures, and would then reload it.  If there was an old version of Xcode around on the system, sometimes wonky stuff can happen with an installation.
    And FWIW, the Apple Developer Forums and the Apple mailing lists tend to see far more developer-related traffic than do these particular forums.  (There's an Xcode users' mailing list around which sees regular traffic, too.)
