Smart Guides -Illustrator not really align rectangles CC2014

I'm testing the new version of Illustrator CC 2014 in windows 8.1 and all good except new bounding box of the rectangle tool, and if I want to align two rectangles with the same valiéndome features Smart Guides, these do not really line up, how when I make eh I reached the point of alignment of the figure that I have reference, as when zooming clearly see that not align myself really, we should mention that I have enabled the option to align grid of pixels, and also this does not happen with other tools like ellipse, or polygon, rectangle and only rounded rectangle, examples:
PD, and restore preferences, and reinstall the program and the problem persists

axs,
You may use old fashioned plain rectangles instead of live ones.
To be able to create a normal old fashioned rectangle, you can use the free script created by Pawel, see this thread:

Smart Guides Randomly Not Working

Hi,
I've noticed in Illustrator CS4 (with all the updates) that Smart Guides does not seem to work on some files.
I make a new file in CS4 and then they automatically seem to work.
I have tried re-saving the file and turning on and off the Smart Guide settings and playing with the Control button.
I attached a sample file where it's not working as a demo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
J

They work just turn off snap to grid or snap to pixel.

Smart Guides Do Not Work

My smart guides do not work. From the time I loaded CS5 they have not worked. If you go to View > Grids & Guides > the Smart Guides are grayed out.
Then if you go to the Control Panel > View Options, the smart Guides are not grayed out they are checked.
I have looked around and read trying to find out whats up with these guides but have not found anything the works. I have also uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled. This stall did not work.
If anyone has any idea of why or how to get the guides to work that would be great.
Thanks for your help...

You must have Snap to Document Grid enabled.
Why is [Some Feature] Grayed Out in InDesign?

My smart guides are not working in Illustrator CC

I've check my settings, view, everything. I cannot seem to get smart guides to work. ( and yes, I've made sure I haven't just pressed command U )

J.Beech,
I don't know how but I've fixed it.
That is a pity. It is an old well known issue, or was until you came along, or rather still is because you cannot tell how.

Snap to? Smart Guides? Not sure what the issue is but it's annoying.

Just made the big step up from CS2 to CS5. Lots of changes as to be expected but otherwise a smooth transition. Nice work Adobe.
One recurring issue has got me baffled and annoyed. It appears to be a snap-to function yet I'm unable to locate the place where it might be disabled.
In my previous version of InDesign resizing window sizes and shapes was a fluid and easy motion. Now it's staggering and akward. The text and picture boxes want to snap on an unseen grid. I understand how this can be a useful function for some kinds of work but it also gets in the way of composing an image.
Any suggestions on how to disable this?
Presently, I have both Smart Guides and Snap to Document Grid UNCHECKED in the View menu yet I'm remain unable to smoothly and fluidly size my text and picture boxes.
Thanks!

There's another new feature, Live Screen Drawing, that's on by default, but for many users it causes real choppiness in moving around on screen. It's at the bottom of the Interface section of the preferences. Try setting it to Delayed. That will allow you to have a live preview when you really want it by clicking, then holding for a moment before you drag, but moving immediately will give you what you are used to in CS2.
I actually think Smart Guides are worth using. They save me a TON of time.

Why are my Red Line Edge Smart Guide indicators not showing up or continuing the image to the edge o

I have been messing with a single long page layout with scrolling effects. So I have 2 or 3 other objects behind another object pair that I have been trying over and over to get to extend to the edge of the browser by pulling the size anchor of the rectangle object that has a raster fill up to the point where the Red Line Smart Guide line shows up indicating the image will repeat and fill out to the edge of the browser.
The red line seems to only show up for a millisecond will pulling the transform horizontal anchor. Then it snaps past the edge point by 20 pixels. Even when I have "caught" the redline for that millisecond and release the transform anchor, it still doesn't work when previewing or previewing in browser.
Does the object that you want to have repeat to the edge of the browser have to be one object? I have tried experiments with more rectangles with just color fills as well and it's the same sporadic Redline.

In your Muse preferences make sure that your smart guides are turned on:

Smart Guides should not consider clipped away art

Illustrator always seems to have trouble with parts of art that are hidden in clipping masks. If parts of an object are 'clipped away', then that's it. They shouldn't be seen, selectable or anything by anything except the Direct Selection Tool, right?
In older versions you were able to select a portion of an object which was hidden beyond the bounds of a clipping mask. Thank god, you fixed that one.
My current problem, though, is that I need to use Smart Guides to snap a print ad to a new artboard. But I can't get it to work because rather than recognizing the border of the ad, it's trying to snap the hidden portion of "clipped away" art. (See photo)

I don't have that problem (CS5). I am using the selection tool and able to snap the clipped imaged to the artboard edge.

Smart guides not working

Hello,
I'm working in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
In Preferences, I set Smart Guides to 30 degree angles and clicked on Construction Guides.
In View, I clicked on Smart Guides (command U).
However, when I click on an anchor point and try to move it 30 degrees with Smart Guides to guide me, they don't show up.
I've tried restarting the program and turning Smart Guides on/off, but nothing seems to work.
Any idea why the Smart Guide lines don't show up?
Thank you.
Joe

No, I don't think Pixel Preview is the answer.
I've used Smart Guides effectively for years in Illustrator CS3 without Pixel Preview.
Often I draw my objects in Illustrator to appear isometric. So I turn on the Smart Guides to help me draw at 30 degree angles.
As I said, I've done this effectively for years. It's only recently that I noticed that the 30 degree angle guides are not working effectively. On some documents they appear correctly, some they don't appear at all.
I wonder if this is a glitch is CS4.
In the most current document I have, I am able to draw a stroke/line at 30 degrees using Smart Guides. I click to establish an anchor point and then move my curser to establish a second anchor point. When I go to click the second anchor (to create the line), 30 degree Smart Guides appear correctly. I am not in Pixel Preview mode.
However, when I try to move an object (or 2 or more selected anchor points), the 30 degree Smart Guides do not appear.
Can someone try to duplicate the above and see if they get the same results?
Thank you.

Smart Guides Not Showing

Hi,
Smart Guides are not showing when I use Adobe Illustrator CC.
There were several posts in this forum that suggest turning of "snap to grid" and double checking the preferences that smart guides are on. I've done both and provided screenshots.
Smart Guides is very important feature to me. I need it urgently back on.
Thanks

amarzum,
It could be a preference corruption.
You may try to:
1) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
or:
2) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible).

Smart Guides Bug??

I've been struggling with Tech support since May 22 over the problem with Smart guide not working in Illustrator CS6. Support has recorded my system twice during Connect meetings poked around in my preferences and accomplished nothing. I've added screen shots to Case on the support portal hoping there is a solution but Tech support always emails saying they tried to contact me but were unable. Basicly Smart guides are not showing the dimensions in Illustrator CS6 and leaving a screen artifact. I've deleted the preferences as tech support suggested, reinstalled Illustrator CS6 as tech support suggested and nothing seems to fix the problem. Smart guide work with Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS6. Both are on the same system as Illustrator CS6. My question, anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug? Tech support always tries the same old "let me review your case" and then proceeds to do nothing.
Using MacBook Pro 8 Gigs Mac OSX 10.7.4
Illustrator CS6 No dimensions and gray screen artifact.
Smart Guides working in Photoshop CS6
Smart Guides working in Illustrator CS5
Any ideas suggestions similar experiences?

I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5. There's another thread on this at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4924146 but no one over there has a solution either. I've also filed a bug report on it, figuring the more people report the bug, the more likely they are to fix it. Here's the bug report page for anyone wishing to do the same: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I sure wish they would fix this, because it's very annoying to not have these measurements when you're doing precision work. It's been seven months since you reported this and apparently no one has addressed the issue.

Smart Guides in Indesign aren't working suddenly

I am working on a 100 page catalog. I am on page 70 and suddenly my smart guides will not work for all of the next pages after page 70. If I go back to any of the previous pages the smart guides work without a problem. Any thoughts or ideas as to what is the problem?

There are a couple standard troubleshooting techniques that might help.
There could be corruption in your document. Saving as IDML and reopening might help. Here's how:

If that doesn't work, try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here are some instructions:

Smart guides InDesign 5.5 problem

One of my files in InDesign 5.5 has the problem that Smart Guides is greyed out under View > Grids & Guides. The option is ticked but the guides do not appear on the layout when an object is moved. Other files do not have the same problem when open at the same time.
I've exported the file as IDML and rebuilt it but that has had no effect.
I have deleted the InDesign prefs file but that has had no effect.
Any ideas?

Turn off Document grid magnetic!
If Magnetic Document Grid is on, Smart Guides will not function (I know, Strange, but it does!)

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 – Smart Guides Not Working

I have been having an issue with Illustrator CC 2014's smart guides not snapping to other objects. In this instance I dragged used the 'Selection Tool' to drag one of the 8 points of the bounding box to the second square.
This also happens when trying to resize items to guides, Illustrator 'snaps' the object to the guide, but it is not inline!
I have noticed that this issue does not occur when resizing or moving groups of objects groups of objects. It seems that the two different types of bounding boxes are the issue?

There seems to be a problem with rectangle shapes and smart guides. The problem has been reported in the forum some time ago.

Smart guides and snap to point not working in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014

Hello,
I am having a lot of issues with Illustrator CC 2014 and the Smart Guides. Every time I try and snap one object to another or snap an object to a guide, the object snaps either above or below the guide/object but never snaps correctly. This also happens when I am zoomed in all the way!
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on.

David,
I do not have align to pixel grid or snap to grid turned on
It sounds as if Illy thinks the former.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (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.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 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);
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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Align / smart guides not working

I am having a super-weird problem. I have a black rectangle that I would like to be exactly the same width as a larger white rectangle. When I try aligning the left edges, it is ever so slightly off. When I turn on smart guides and try to transform the black rectangle to snap to the white rectangle's left edge, the same thing happens -- ever so slightly off.
There are only 3 rectangles in the entire .ai, and I have checked to make sure that snap to pixels / snap to grid are turned off. I have quit and restarted the program.
Any clue why align is being funky, or how to fix it?
Thanks!

It sounds like something is going on with the alignment using the align tool. You could, if need be do it the old fashion way by the numbers. Entering numeric values fo X and Y positions to align exactly. This can be done with copy and paste too.
Wait, you may need to check how your aligning in Preferences.
Are you aligning to Preview Bounds or to the actual vectors?
Or… Vector
