    Ivan,

    If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

    Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

    To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • Adobe Illustrator - direct selection tool - Question

    Hello community.

    I was watching a tutorial and practice on logo design and I ran into a problem on my end. I am sure this is a setting which is not enabled or maybe something I am doing wrong.

    The first image (image1.jpeg - black object) I understand the tutorial is. In it the person who gives the tutorial completely selects the object (two separate polygons; divorced by the way) and you will see white radial points appear on the corners of the two forms. He then produced click on the corners, he wants and every radial white disappear and only appears with selection of the corners he wants.

    The second photo (image2.jpeg - green object), I understand comes from my adobe Illustrator. In it, when I do the exact same steps as above radial white dials do not appear. In fact, only the anchor points of all edges appear only.

    Please advise on how to get the white radial dials to show. Please accept my apologies before hand so I didn't name anything correctly.

    -Isaiah, M.

    It doesn't have to be a direct form. The widgets corner (as they are called) have been introduced in Illustrator CC and can be activated with a view > Show corner Widget.

  • Illustrator CS6 bucket tool disappeared - there is no context menu on the gradient tool

    It happened all of a sudden. I closed and restarted Illustrator several times. Still no paint bucket tool / degraded flyout on the tool. Any advice?

    Try the form generator tool. Click and hold down until the options are displayed.

  • CS6, "Select unused shades" is to select the samples used.

    In Illustrator CS6, "Select unused shades" is to select the samples used. I'm doing something wrong or is this a bug?

    I can't reproduce this in CS6 (Cloud, 16.2.1). version

    Maybe someone can check in 16.0.4 (?) so the problem can be reproduced.

    You can check if you updated to the latest version available.

  • Selection tool will not adjust the forms

    For some reason when you work with illustrator my selection tools won't adjust the forms more. I can move the shapes but I can't resize them or stretch them. If I have a form of rectangle on my selected screen, the hatch which are normally found in the environment are no longer there, also on the edges of the rectangle of the selection tool is not switch to the rotation tool. My selection tool also has a small black square down to the right that I have not noticed before. I have no idea how I got into this mode or other whatnot, but any help to return to normal would be awesome, preferably without resetting all my preferences, thank you!

  • Cannot find the quick selection tool (previously associated with the magic wand tool) on Illustrator CC (the most recent version installed on October 14, 2014)

    I just installed a new version of Illustrator CC and CS6 on 14 October 2014 and I couldn't find the quick selection on this version tool, this tool already lies with the magic wand tool

    I don't remember a quick selection tool in Illustrator. Are you sure it was in Illustrator?

  • Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?

    Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?

    The best way would be to make sure that your layer is not a background layer: click the lock icon in this case. Then click the icon at the bottom of the layer panel layer mask. This will create a mask that you can refine and not be destructive.

  • Illustrator questions 15.3 - selection tools, Shift key not working not properly

    Hi, my Illustrator started doing strange things, I'll work away and then the Selection tool will decide Exchange with the direct Selection tool or the SHIFT key function will not perform as it should. There is obviously something upsetting, but I don't know what! Any thoughts?

    I use a Wacom Intuos5 (driver is up to date) and I'm on the retina of Macbook pro 15 "/ OSX El Capitan."

    Being on the Mac platform, I am confident that you will be running faster. Let us know if you find what was the cause. Good luck

  • CS6 question tools selection

    Having a little trouble with the selection on CS6 tools. It's hard to explain so abit here is a video of the show on Facebook

    Basically, every time I make a selection it's automation in blocks within the area of selection. I don't see it on PS until I Zoom or view the recorded file. When I go back and open the PSD file once again I can see all blocking problems, but cannot find a way to fix it. It is the same with all the selection tools, I'll post some screenshots to demonstrate.

    So far, I have tried tool full resets, remove and re-install PS, tried with several different types of different cameras. I restarted the program and the computer several times and tried a few different settings with it, but I'm completely stumped. Any help would be amazing.

    I noticed he do this when I updated my Mac last week. See you soon.

    Thanks for this one. May I ask if this is just a Visual problem or it's the final selection?

  • Why the tool completely slice does NOT despite the fact that the layer is NOT locked, or 'Lock Slices' accidentally on is checked in the menu 'View' Illustrator CS6?

    Well want to can someone help pointing at me - why the tool cuts (for a simple in CS6 path) totally does NOT despite the fact that the layer is NOT locked, OR 'Lock Slices' accidentally on is checked in the menu 'View' Illustrator CS6?

    It is the slice tool you are trying. The only wrong.

    Use a knife or scissors.

  • What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer?  I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him.  Yet to learn...

    When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

    Ah, hong.

    Then, drag Option and only use Cmd + shift.
