Difficult question, why the transformation Panel said 'no shape properties' when I select a path?

Hey, Zuko here (no, really I'm Erik)

I have a bone to pick with the AdobeIllustrator CC race Committee.  Before, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this Panel.  But now, I hit a road block, it seems that no one else in the internet faces.  My question has to do with how the traces of the pen are treated by the race Committee and (I guess) if they are recognized as "smart shapes.

Here's the problem: normally when I create a path with the pen tool, I can immediately afterwards, select it and transform it using the Panel forms (especially the transformation Panel).  This means that I can choose the width of profiles, create dashed lines, etc.  However, something happened to illustrator between yesterday and today (I don't know what) and now when I create a path with the pen tool and select it, the transformation panel reads: "no available shape properties." Or something between these lines.

I am currently using Adobe Illustrator CC as I already said, my operating system is Windows 10, and the only thing that has changed in the way that I use work is connect with the intuos pen tablet.  (Not plugged in now, I'll perform an exorcism on her.)

That's all for now, I don't have screenshots, but once I get off work in 8 hours, I'd be happy to give them.

This is my desperate hour... Help Adobe creative community, you're my only hope. * static *.

Erik,

If not more specific/bright suggestions appear, you can try the list:

Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

The following is a general list of things, try when

(A) the question is not in a specific file,

(B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

(C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

(1) close Illy and open again.

(2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

(3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

Even worse, you can:

6 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

  • Why the application manager said that muse is updated, when it isn't? And will not let me update?

    Why the application manager said that muse is updated, when it isn't? And will not let me update?

    I have the latest version of OS X I opened Muse and he tells me that I have to update. I have check and that's only still v1.1, 960 to build.

    There is a promblem I don't know?

    Hello

    Sorry for the confusion and frustration.

    Because the Muse is an Air application, there are some limitations in the way that we interact with the Application Manager that can cause these types of States in conflict. We have plans that will address this, but unfortunately, it of a complicated situation and will take time.

    I'm working on a document that will address all the various installation questions such as this one and post it on the forum and elsewhere when its done. I apologize that this has not happened before and several people were affected than expected.

    See you soon,.

    Captivate in 8, can you apply an effect (for example, a transition) for the grouped shapes? (I can apply the effect to a single shape, but when I group forms, I can't understand how).

    Hello

    It is not possible to apply effects to groups of forms. You can apply the transition from the distribution panel and other properties in the property inspector.

    You will need to apply the same effect of the same duration for all objects in a group in this case.

    Thank you.

    My two fields are FLOW AND DR_NAME

  • Question about the control panel user accounts in windows 7.

    This might be a bit of a strange question, but I'll see what I get. Basically when I enter the control panel via my username (not the admin account) and click on "Add or remove user accounts" and enter a password to admin, the photos on my user and admin account both fail (but they are there on the log on screen, etc.). But the guest account (which is disabled) the image of bag of comments showing. But if I enable the guest account, the image disappears. Strange. Any ideas how to get the pictures to show up there?

    Also, I will add that this occurs only in the standard user, not my account Admin accounts I converted my standard account to an administrator account, and the pictures then decided to appear.

    Thanks for your time.

  • A script that can send values to the transformation Panel?

    Hi all.

    I wonder if this is possible in a javascript:

    An object is selected.

    Run the script

    B. fill in value in two fields B2: (RADIUS (or diameter) and a B3: number of objects)

    C. it gives two different values, according to a calculation (Horizontal and Vertical)

    D. effect > distort & transform > transform... face is open and she entry fields now have

    the value of B3 (minus 1) in the Copies field (B2 is not necessary) and

    the new C values in the horizontal and the vertical two entry fields.

    The point by in order to distribute copies of an object in a circle where the original object is to flat 12 (top) and the diameter of the circle is a known size.

    I have already made me a calculator to understand this, but my dream would be to have a script or a panel that would do the math and send the result to the Tramsform Panel.

    The calculator is here: IllustratorCircleCalculation.xlsx

    An article that explains is here: http://font.is/calculate-multiple-objects-in-a-circle-in-illustrator/

    I'd like to hear some tips. In fact if someone would do this I would be happy to distribute the formulas behind the calculator.

    Hi Samantha, unfortunately there is no access to the effects or native dialog fields... it might be possible to hack sending keystrokes to illustrator, but this is a crazy idea.

    I'd be more inclined to select an object, and then run a script to distribute a number of Copies, a given circle round, as in your tutorial clock... This seems doable with javascript.

  • Question about the tools Panel...

    I have a question about the Panel edge tools animate:

    In the future, edge animate will have a rich set of drawing tools? At the moment, so wanted to have a symbol, lets say a 'dog', I would have to draw everything first in Illustrator or Photoshop, and then import it into Edge animate (because EA basically allows me to draw rectangles and circles only). In future versions, will there be tools like 'Pen tool' or 'Gum' and other drawing tools know Flash Professional to create symbols?

    Thank you

    JH

    Hi JH,.

    Sorry, but we can't comment specifically about whether or when any functionality in the future versions of edge animate. What we can do, is listen to feedback from our users, and to add feature requests for the EA team who can be considered for future versions of edge animate.

    When new releases are published, there is also a list of the new features added... so stay tuned!

    Thank you

  • Why the Align Panel is missing?

    Anyone know why the Panel alignment in Indesign is not under the window > object and layout > Align? I can only see Pathfinder and turn it into object and layout! My Indesign is corrupt?

    It may not have loaded too. Just quit and relaunch. If she is still missing from the Extention to manage "InDesign > manage Extensions" and make sure that it is enabled. Disable and enable if it is enabled and that it must bring back to life. It will be the second item in the extensions Manager in most cases.
