Zoom-in tool and selected objects

Hi there,
I am wondering about the possibility of making the zoom-in tool directs to the selected Object or Layer, and how that increase the accessibility with the shortcuts like CTRL+(+).
Regards,

Hi,
you should make "selection objects" which represent your rect.s.
they could have a drawMe(Rectangle source, Rectangle dest) method which would be called in the rendering loop. While source represents the selected area of the orignal image and dest the destination aera which drawMe would actually draw the image into.
Source would get set on mouse up after dragging, dest would be set after the click equal to your drawing area.
I'm not sure about the actual image scaling but i think it can be done similar like that: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0243.html.
You dhould definately have a look at javax.imageio.*;just some ideas

In Acrobat X, are there hotkeys for "hand tool" and "select tool"?

Illustrator CC Allowing Direct Tool and Selection Tool to Only Select Some Objects at Random

Whenever I try to select any object I've created, some will show that they can be selected while others are not available to be selected for no apparent reason except at random. This happens regardless if all my layers are unlocked.

I just attempted the UNLOCK ALL option, but I saw that it was unavailable. I'm almost certain that this might be a possible glitch. One of my pieces that was having a lock issue like all the others, has for whatever reason unlocked itself and every object is now selectable. I did nothing out of the ordinary routine for this change to happen.

When I go to tools and select 'add-ons' nothing happens. In troubleshoot help it says I don't have any and when I try to install one nothing happens either. Never had this prob before... Any ideas??

Ok I just went to post this and it said it has not been asked before and asked me to log in with more info. The title says it all really. The option is there under tools and looks normal but it has no functionality.
My adblock plus is still blocking ads, so even though I can't see or access my add ons they are still working in the background.
I searched for add ons and tried to install one to see if it would open them up and restart firefox but once I selected 'install', again... nothing happens.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.

From which folder did you delete the extensions.* files?
Firefox should have recreated at least extensions.rdf.

Blob Brush Tool and Selecting Lines when Hitting Ctrl Z

I've done searches for this answer, but I'm afraid it's too specific. Basically, in Windows 7's Illustrator holding the ctrl key is a shortcut to the selection tool when someone is using the blob brush tool. (among others as well) This means that if my cursor is ever hovering over a line when I hit undo (ctrl+z) it also selects the line because I've hit the ctrl key. That means after the initial undo, I have to also move my cursor to another spot where there is no line and hit the control key again to deselect the line that became highlighted when I hit ctrl+z.
I know it's not a big deal, but having to move your cursor every time you want to undo a mistake is really annoying. Selecting the shape doesn't effect my drawing, but I'd rather not have a set of lines highlighted while I'm drawing.
Is there a way I can stop Illustrator from selecting line segments when holding the control key?

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you mean. Floating the cursor over a line and then pressing Ctrl doesn't select the line -- it just temporarily changes the cursor to the last selection tool used. Nothing gets selected when you let go of the Ctrl-Z. However, read on:
Regardless of where the cursor is, pressing Ctrl-Z just undoes the last operation. This could, of course, result in something being re-selected as a consequence of the UnDo. Are you perhaps pressing the left mouse button while pressing Ctrl-Z?
Sorry if this is no help at all . . .

What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
Modem router, model, type of broadband?
TC setup as bridge or router?
Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
Are you using wireless or ethernet?
Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

In version 5, how do I use the selection tool to move objects?

I can use the selection tool to select objects, but when I try to drag it, nothing happens. My workaround is to use the selection tool to select an object, and then use the transform tool to drag the object into its new position. Any help is greatly appreciated.

is your object locked?

Turn off center selected object in view

If I am zoomed in 500% and select an object, it centers it in my view, and sometimes it will select the object and move it, just by clicking on it. Is there an option to turn this off?! It's VERY frustrating when i'm trying to move things to s specific place. Here is a video.

I know this behavior but as this only occurs on high zoom levels it's not a problem form me.
The only way to avoid this I know about is to select objects in the hierarchy tree not in Design view.

Very slow when selecting objects

I have a problem with illustrator CS5. Whenever I select an object on the canvas by clicking on said object Illustrator freezes for a few seconds (showing me the spinner). This happens whether there is 1 object or 50 on the canvas so it certainly has nothing to do with the number of objects. Oddly, if I click on the canvas and drag-and-select objects this does not happen; they are selected immediately. Of course most of the times I forget this and have to wait constantly because I accidently selected an object directly, which is extremely annoying and almost to the point of unworkable.
Anybody got any ideas about how to solve this?

Many reasons, to help narrow it down create a new document draw one lement and let us know if you have a slowdown.
Reset your preferences.
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when restarting AI on a Mac or Alt-Crtl-Shift on a PC to reset to the defaults.
Flush Cache (Good for slowdown)

I would like cut out an object using the quick select tool and drop the object into another picture. Can anyone help

I am using background pictures and want to cut out objects from other jpegs using the quick select tool and drop them into the background picture. So if i have a banana and select the object i need to copy the banana into the other background.
Hope this makes sense.
Gary

Select banana. Right click>layer via copy. Move tool. Click and drag to other file. Drop on image.
OR: load the background and banana in one stack (File>Scripts>Load File Into Stack). Select banana and layer via copy or create layer mask.

Problem with align and Selection Tool.

This is a weird problem which I cannot explain at all.
I am using AI CS3 with Windows XP.
I am having this completely random problem with the selection tool and align pallette I cannot explain.
I have a group of objects and groups of objects I am trying to use the align pallette on.
Sometimes when I select all of the items I want to align, either by shift-clicking each one, or by drag-selecting them I am getting a random behavior where sometimes the align button will move all of the objects COMPLETELY off of the artboard, all the way to the edge of the working area and beyond into the grey area you cannot see.
Normally, this would be caused by a stray point somewhere way off-screen or some other cleanup oriented thing on my part. However in this case, the behavior is random and does not happen every time I hit the align button.
Sometimes it takes items within my grouped objects (lines of text) and moves THEM completely off the work area, leaving the other items in the groups in place. Sometimes the bounding box when I drag-select the items will stretch extremely far off of the work area.
I have even dragged the extra large bounding box, bringing the edge that was once way off screen onto the work area, in outline view, in hopes of finding the stray point or object that could be causing this. However NOTHING appears that can be causing the align to throw all of my objects off-screen.
The random nature of this behavior and the way it sometimes affects my text objects inside of groups leads me to believe it is a program bug and nothing I am doing.
The behavior takes place regardless if I select by dragging or by shift-clicking, and is happening in more than one file, also randomly.
Also, choosing "align to art board" vs. "align to crop area" does nothing to change this behavior.
It is quite irritating. I've been using illustrator since v.88 so I have enough experience to know this is not normal.
Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated.

When this behaviour occurs, are perhaps guides included in your selection?

Zoom issue when using selection tool in Photoshop CS5

Hi, i have a macbook pro with a multi touch trackpad. For some reason when i'm using the selection tool and i try zooming in or out using the multi touch track pad nothing happens or sometimes it takes forever for anything to take place. Other times, i have to resort to using the keypad to zoom in or out.
what could be causing this issue as it is really slowing me down

Hi - thanks for your comments. It was happening on all of the selection tools however I have solved the problem by changing the 'Advanced Graphics Processor Setting' to 'Basic' in Photoshop CC.
Thanks anyway

Unable to select and extract object...

I am currently attempting to edit a recently converted raster to vector image. I have the file opened and selected after having used the "live trace" function to revise it and save as a vector image. Now I would like to select and extract a portion of the image to work with but I am neither able to select and extract the object of focus from within the general picture. When I attempt to use the pointer selection tool to select the object of focus, the entire image becomes selected with a blue border. If I try to use the magic wand nothing happens. If I try to use the lasso tool I can draw around the object of focus but when I close the lasso it simply disappears leaving nothing selected. I've even tried to "ungroup" the image but option is grayed out (unavailable). Any insights into what I am doing incorrectly? By the way, the live trace function becomes active whenever I click anywhere within the general image.

RUConscious,
Expanding the Live Trace should make it accessible and editable just like any other vector artwork where you may Direct Select individual/multiple Anchor Points, Select paths, etc.
Maybe a closeup of the issue area, with a hint at what exactly you wish to do, would help the helpers, preferably including the relevant part of the Layers panel (which may be moved).
Apart from that, others may tell you that I am too old, or silly, to apply Live Trace.

Zooming whenever I double-click on any margin of pages with Hand Tool or Selection Tool selected

I have used Acrobat and recently upgraded it to Acrobat XI in order to use it with my tablet PC.
But whenever I double-click with my digitizer pen, with Hand tool or Selection Tool selected, on any margin of pages, it zooms in. i.e. it automatically magnifies itself as if I did the same thing with magnifying tool. This happens even when I try to double-click on the textboxes to edit it!
I don't want to zoom it all the time!!!

Try switching off this setting: Edit - Preferences - General - Make hand
tool use mouse-wheel zooming.

Auto-zoom to selected object?

I have a mystery ghost path that I can't find. It shows up in the layer palette. But I can't see it on my artboard. I have Show Bounding Box and Show Edges turned on. I alt/option click the layer to select everything. But there's nothing selected on my artboard. (And my artboard is sized to fit artwork bounds).
Are there any scripts to auto-zoom/scroll the canvas to a selected object? Most 3D apps have a "Frame Object" command that moves and zooms the camera to make the selected object centered on the screen. Is there something like that for Illustrator?

I don't think so. Just lock down anything you want to keep, Select All, and hit delete. The phantom guide should go away.
