Touch Type tool isn't showing up in Illustrator CC

This function was supposed to be available mid-June. Still, it isn't available or showing in my Illustrator CC, in the "T" type options.
I really want this function! Where or when is it available???
~Karen

Character panel shows all t he old standards, no touch-type icon. Also, though the type tool shows, and behind it are several options, the Touch-type tool is not one of them.
Thanks for looking at this for me.

  • In CS5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly. example: 30 point looks like 4 point

    In CS 5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly.
    Example: 30 point looks like 4 point
    How can I correct it?

    In case you have not fixed this, take a look at your Image Size (Ctrl Alt i).  The default when you make a new document window is 72ppi which can result in smaller text than you sometimes expect.  If you open Image size, turn off resample, and change the resolution to something like 300, you'll get much larger type for the same settings.
    For this reason one of the first things I do after installing Photoshop, or resetting Preferences, is to open Preferences > Units & rulers, and set Type to mm.  This way I know that if the document is set to A4, and orientated in landscape (297mm x 210mm) setting text to 21mm is going to result in type exactly one tenth the height of the document.
    I believe people in America still use inches, but unfortunately inches are not an option for Type units in Preferences.  It is easy enough to work it out in your head though. A 10x8 document with type set to 25mm will give you text one eighth the height of the document.
    The bottom line is you can at least predict what is going to happen when setting text size.

  • Missing buttons perspective distort and touch type tool

    Hi all -
    I'm new to Illustrator and using video tutorials tutorials to learn my way around CS6. I've encountered two buttons in tutorials that I can't find anywhere on my workspace (I'm in layout): perspective distort and touch type.
    Perspective distort: In the tutorial, when you click on the free transform tool a box pops up with 4 different options (constrain, free transform, perspective distort, free distort) - that box is not popping up. For reference: Transform artwork | Adobe Illustrator CC tutorials (approx 1:10). On my end there are no additional buttons for free transform.
    Touch type: In the tutorial it has reference the touch type tool being in two different locations: in the character panel and in the type tool. No touch type tool anywhere in sight for me.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Both only available in the CC version (CC2014) not in CS6.

  • Indesign cc - Touch type tool

    I just installed Id CC. Can't find the Touch type tool. Under the tekst tool, I only have regular tekst and tekst on a path. Can anyone help me? Btw, I have the Dutch version.

    HI,
    Touch Type tool is not a part of InDesign ( as stated in Heading) but is new feature in Illustrator.
    Install Illustrator, update to 17.1 and you should be able to use it there.

  • When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' the circle tool isn't showing

    When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' in iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3), the circle tool isn't showing any longer. Only the normal arrow cursor. It still works fine, I just can't see the size of the circle against the photo.
    I've tried restarting iPhoto and the whole Mac, but no luck.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Does this help?

  • Type tool isn't working

    HELP! I've been using photoshop and illustrator for years, and added text to photos plenty of times, but for some reason, i bought the new CS3, and i swear something's wrong with my type tool in photoshop. (Sorry I can't recall if i've successfully added text to a photo since i've upgraded to 10.0.1) And it works fine in illustrator.
    When I open a file(i've tried 5 different ones, all different sizes, and formats) and click on the text tool now, it looks like it's going to work.. i get the I beam with the dotted box around it, but when i click on the photo all i get is a little dot the size of a period that just stays where i put it and no text goes on the page no matter how much i type. I can move the spec around but no
    text. It shows up as a text layer in the layers section. I've gone up to the type selection box and tried selecting different fonts, and font sizes(making it huge incase it just was too small to show up, but that didn't make the type show up either,i've resized the photo, i've tried to reset the type tool. I tried creating a type box, when i do that I can make the box, i get the i beam, like it's going to work, but no type will go on the page. I confess, i'm don't know a lot about layers, but that's never mattered before.
    FYI - I'm on an IMAC Power PC OSX 10.5.3
    Help i'm going crazy! Thank you

    Wow, i've never felt so attacked in a user forum before. I promise i'll never post here again. I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time. I thought communities were supposed to be friendly and helpful....
    I'm just a novice. So i'm sorry if i'm not answering the questions correctly or dont know how to do all the suggestions you're making. .
    1. sorry, my mistake, 10.5.2
    2. the ppi is 72, i've tried it at 300 ppi too.
    3. As to the snide comment about the teaching my friend, my point only was that I taught her how to add text to the photo over the phone and she was able to do it, but i wasn't able to add it to my own photo, so i know how to do it because i got someone else to do it with my directions, but it's not working on my program and on the same photo. I never implied, that i taught her how to use the whole program, as you quipped in your post.
    Can you please explain what you mean, or how do i compare settings for fonts and images.
    Also, i tried unsuccessfully to use the help menu to figure out how to reset my character palette, can you give me a couple of instructions or point me in the right direction.
    ****Finally, i not sure if i mentioned in my original post, or if it helps, but the type i'm trying to type on the photo is showing up on the layers in the layers menu, but it's not showing up on the actual photo. It just shows up as the spec. And the more i type the spec doesn't move(as if it was accomodating a line of type. It's just a spec that stays put. unless I click on the pointer tool and move the spec around.
    thank you.

  • The font used in Adobe's touch type video

    Hey folks, I have a question for anybody who's watched the video for the Illustrator Touch Type tool. Can be found here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-cloud-for-design/discover-the-new-touch-type-tool-in-ad obe-illustrator-cc/
    In the video, Rufus started by typing in the word "CLIFFS." The illustrator bar says the font is Myriad Pro, which can't be right. Can anybody tell me the name of the first font that was used in the video? I tried What the font, but as you all must know how unreliable it is. If anybody knows, please let me know! Thanks.

    It looks like Gill Sans to me.
