Where is the dry brush in the illustrator brush?

Hi!
I am a beginner of Illustrator. I am using Illustrator CS5.
Thank you.

There might be a "Dry brush" in the brushes libraries in artistic libraries. You can access those via the brushes panel (see manual on how to use it)

Illustrator brush question

At one point in time I was shown how to change the option on my CS3 Illustrator brushes so that when you draw a line and end it, it stays that way when you begin to draw again. Now I can't figure out how to change it again. The default setting is set that when you draw a line, and then begin a new line close to it they flow together to form a new path. (This is difficult to explain in words).
How do I make it so the lines are all individual objects when you stop drawing?
Thanks,
Nancy

Double-click the Brush Tool and uncheck "Keep Selected" or "Edit Selected Paths" or both. Either option will basically not mess with strokes you've already drawn.

I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

Brush Problems with Illustrator CS4... the line does not draw with my mouse movement

When I use any other brush besides the Calligraphic Brushes from the "Artistic Ink" brush library, I press down with either my Wacom Tablet or mouse, and the line does not appear to draw. Then I release the button on the mouse or lift my pen tablet up, the lines appears. Sometimes, a little "dot dot dot" line appears when the brush stroke it going to appear. But most of the time, it's just nothing, and then the line appears after I've drawn it.
However, with the preselected brushed at the top, and the Calligraphic Artistic Brushes, the line appears as I am drawing it. This is what I want for the other brushes.
Is this normal?! I just recently upgraded to Windows 7, and reinstalled the Adobe Suite. I can't remember if Illustrator did this before I reinstalled it, but I'm not sure it did otherwise it would have annoyed me as much as it does now. Can anybody help me?

Hi!
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.
First time posting to a forum.
I'm having the same problem and followed the advice for changing the file name in the Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
This solved the problem of seeing predicted brush paths for very basic brushs, but I still can't get a preview path for any of the ink brushs.
I've seen video tutorials which demonstrate inking techniques and the ink brush predicted path was clearly working in those tutorials.
I'm assuming therefore that I should be able to see some type of preview when using the ink brushs.
Any advice would be great!
Cheers!

Where can I download or aquire the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator CS6?

Where can I download or aquire the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator CS6? I would like to be able to save files for HTML5 and CSS. According to the "Adobe Illustrator CS6 On Demand" book, I should be able to download the HTML5 Pack from the following link: labs.adobe.com/downloads/illustrator_html5.html. That link does not work. Please help. Thanks.

If this is true the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator has been deprecated, then how is one to save Illustrator CS6 files for HTML5 and CSS now? Is there another workaround?

Where did the debug panel go in illustrator cs6?

Hello illustrators.
I was trying to do the cmd+shift+option+fn+F12 to calculate the area on an object and nothing happens!
so i was reading on the Internet that adobe dropped this feature no longer exists is this true?
thank you.

yes, scripts posted here a usually "ready" to use
- copy the script from where it is posted
- open Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit (or a text Editor of your choice)
- paste the copied script
- save the script with a meaningful name, add a .jsx extension to it.
to run double click on the script.
if you want to run it from within Illustrator -> File -> Scripts Menu
- save the script here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Presets\en_US\Scripts\
- restart Illustrator

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?
I'm not 100% sure but i may have had flash open when installing, i then uninstalled the font and then reinstalled the font. I even tried going from an OTF font to a TTF font.
No luck.
Do I need to do some sort of font cache clearing?

I'm using Adobe CS6 Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator on MAC OSX

Yes. It's rare, but some fonts do not play well with Flash. Flash seems to have a more strict method of evaluating a font that can be imported. This is, in my opinion, probably because Flash needs to create a faux version of a font when it is imported. There may be some information that is either missing or not acceptable to Flash in a particular font and so Flash won't allow it to be used - even if you're not going to import that font.

Where can you type in the color hex number in illustrator or photoshop?

There has been a number of occasions that I wanted to work with a particular color and had only the hex number. I can not find how to enter or designate a color using the hex number in Illustrator or Photoshop.
How do you do this?
This should be a simple process I would think. I have been been in number of situations were I could not copy the image, or email the image to myself, but one of the colors in the image was identified by the hex number. So I recorded the number but could not use it because I can find how to gernerate a color by hex number in Illustrator or Photoshop.
I did it by going to Kuler and entering the color and downloading the swatch...but...it cant be that hard can it.

Jinpa Powa,
In the Color palette, the hexadecimal colour values are hidden away in a window (you may use the flyout) with the (partially) misleading name Web Safe RGB.
But you may also get to the option by DoubleClicking the Fill or Stroke box in the Toolbox or any Color Palette window.

7. Re: What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity. Thanks

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

I saw your post today.
Moving the hosts file to the desktop will make it part of a roaming profile? That's means that activation will occur from any computer that are part and available of my microsoft local network. How can I make sure that the program I access is the one located on my local C drive and not in a roaming profile in maybe a cloud environment or from an unknown equipment with access to my network without authorization. I have only 1 laptop where I install locally the CS3 suit
My host file has not entries on it and even when trying to copy to the desktop the activation can not be completed, same problem. Days ago I used the trial option instead of the activation, after trying to activate the whole product as you mentioned in your reply, the trial period remaining got back to the original 30 days.
I have recently noticed that I have a roaming profile with a workspace file different to the one I have on my local disk (3 files basic, panel and type). On the roaming profile I see a directory for adobe illustrator CS3 settings \ workspaces \ AIWSPrefs file which has different entries than the one I have at the local drive. Normally I do not customize a lot the workspace or safe the setting used, I load the brushes, swatches, etc manually from the location they are on my local drive so the swatches and brushes directories on the roaming profile are empty instead. Adobe Eureka and Kuler palettes exists on the basic local file not in the roaming one.
The directories on my roaming profile are:
Acrobat
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe PDF
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Color
Dreamweaver 9
Flash Player
Fonts
Headlights
Linguistics
Logs
LogTransport2
Save For Web AI
Updater5
Workflow
XMP
Inside illustrator roaming directory, the following files :
AI Color Settings
AIAppResources
AIMenuFaceCache
AIPrefs
Brushes
Composite Fonts
Graphic Styles
IllustratorFnt.lst
Kinsoku
MojiKumi
New Document Profiles
Plug-in Cache.ARTX
Plug-ins
Print Presets
Save for Web Settings
Swatches
Symbols
Transparency Flattener Presets
Workspaces
In the above scenario, which workspace and other functions files will take precedence? How can I avoid the roaming profile?
Not being able to copy files from the roaming profile to my local disk, I wondering how this roaming profile was created and why the files are in there. Those files have a date from last month, the local files were more recently installed.
Your comments will be appreciated at your earliest.
Thanks in advance

How do I USE the slices I generate in Illustrator from "Save for Web"?

I am having trouble understanding slices. I want to save a raster graphic from Illustrator that takes advantage of "slices" to put hyperlinks to certain labels. I am working on a map with about 20 links to a website describing recreation sites shown on the map.
I am able to do this by bringing my map as a graphic into InDesign, and setting up links to text or picture boxes there. I can export an interactive PDF of the map, and the PDF has live links.
but the client's web host can't post the PDF with active links. (client would have to link from a static image to a copy of the PDF on a separate website). We may do this as an interim measure.
So I'd like to go back and figure out how to use slices in Illustrator to do the same thing. I've seen web pages that have a series of sliced-up graphics; I wouldn't wish that on anyone but it's the solution I want to get to.
Illustrator tutorials and help describe how to set up slices, how to type in links in the "slice options" dialogue box (in objects/slices... pulldown menu). And describe how to "save for web" to generate JPEGs or GIFs of the individual slices.
My available options in AI CC 2014 (I checked in CS6 too) are to save the slices as images. (Helpful articles which say to save as HTML and Images...aren't helpful if I don't have that option).
I get a folder called images, that contains about 74 sliced JPEGs of various sizes and shapes. I don't see, nor see an option where I can ask to make...a file that pulls all these together into a single image, with clickable links. There's no HTML file (or way to create one that I can see).
What am I missing? What application would I use to toss this folder's contents together. Or how would I create the HTML or envelope file within Illustrator?
I have entered URLs for links in three or four different places but haven't found a way to export them in such a way that they are actually useful.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I am a print guy, mostly. I've almost figured out CSS for my did-it-myself website, so buttons, actions, slices, etc. are new angles for me. I am hip to the general concept that Adobe likes certain applications to do certain things. It was certainly easier to set up links from InDesign.
In what application would you suggest I DO foolishly create my interactions (raster graphic with multiple links? Does it work any better in Photoshop? The client's web host does the web design (some sort of template thing) so I don't believe I have the option of drawing hot-spots like is (was?) possible in Dreamweaver.
(That may be a question for the web host).
One of the problems with "discontinuing this functionality" is there are about half a dozen how-to guides online that suggest it is still possible to kluge a solution in AI (sometimes in older versions) and it's hard to tell well-executed funtionality from abandoned functionality since Adobe hides instructions in multiple, random dialogue boxes, and left so many of the pieces strewn about the current versions of AI.... How would we really know? But I am not all that surprised they did.

My iDVD does not want to encode when I try to burn 2-part movies or series where I put 2 parts onto the disc. I was told before to use only Verbatim DVD-R, which I now do. Still having trouble.

I was on here 11 months ago with the same encoding problem, where it would get to the encoding part of the burning and would stop, then up would pop up the "Open Finder" box, the one where it says you have put in an empty disc and would you like to eject it, ect.? I was told by the people I was in discussion with that I should change from cheap dvds to Verbatim DVD-R only and I have, and switch from "Magic iDVD" to "Create a New Project" and follow the directions there. I did that and for a while, it worked quite well. Now it doesn't. Once in a while there will be a newer movie that it will work on, but only a single and only a newer one that I have just downloaded. I download a lot of series from TV and used to have no problem. Is there any way to fix the encoding problem? I really need help on this and would really appreciate anyone who could give me assistance. And while I'm asking, are there any free cleaning services? I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to buy a computer cleaning service. I have gone to Disk Utility and gone through that, but that's all I can do.

Hi
There can be so many things that lead to this. As You download - then my first thought is
In What Video-Codec ?
There is no standard only out there but zillions of Codecs
iDVD and iMovie are very selective in what they can use - sometimes they try and it looks like they manage - till the final DVD is to be tested in a standard DVD-player and fails.
A. Open Your Movie (to be used) with QuickTime-Player (can handle so many more Codecs)
B. If it play OK here - then Open Inspector [cmd+I] and read:
Video Formatted (Codec) as: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Frames per second: YY.yy
What does they say ?
Else what I can think of is in this note:
Trouble-shooting guide
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a Codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories - do not work (usually)
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work (usually)
• Run a Cleaning-DVD (no liquid - but the kind with brushes) - from time to time - I do
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
- close iPhoto
- on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
- now select all five options presented
- WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
Thank you!

I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?
or just comm+f

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

How to solve the Error in Action for illustrator cs3

Through action in illustrator cs3 i changed the document mode RGB to CMYK via Visual Basic. But sometimes it throws 2 different kinds of error messages.
CODE:
appRef.DoScript "Change", "Convert"
While (appRef.ActionIsRunning)
WScript.sleep 1000

Error 1:
Could not complete the Play Command because the action is playing.
Error 2:
The Object "Document Color Mode: CMYK Color" is not currently available.
Could you please explain how to solve this error.

The input data provided as the first argument to ore.tableApply and rqTableEval are physically being moved from Oracle Database to the database server R engine, and then serially operating on the entire table The benefit to using ore.tableApply/rqTableEval in this case is the potentially greater amount of RAM on the database server. But it's important to note that R’s memory limitations still apply in this case.
You may have already seen the blog post on Managing Memory Limits and Configuring Exadata for Embedded R Execution where we discuss setting memory limits for the database server R engine. These suggestions can be used to load reasonably sized data tables, and you may still encounter limitations when using a very large table.
In contrast to the "table apply" functions, the "group Eval" and "row eval (" functions are parallel-enabled embedded R execution functions. They support data-parallel execution, where one or more R engines perform the same R function, or task, on different partitions of data. The following training and blog links should be helpful in choosing the correct function for your use case:
