Illustrator of hanging or hesitating when I select an object

Hey guys, I have a question, and I know I can't be alone on this.

I got a problem for the last few months with Illustrator CC hesitant when I select an object. It happens randomly. I might be selection of text, a picture, a form, an anchor point, whatever it is.

Here's what happens:

I select an object with the direct Selection tool and (without maintaining the mouse button) move my cursor to the next object.

Instead of being selected, there will be a noticeable delay, and after about half a second, the object that I selected just follow my cursor as if I had clicked and dragged, then released.

It happens more often when I select multiple objects to make a gesture or a group or just something to a certain number of things, but it happens only with several objects. Whenever this happens, I have to cmd + z and reselect it. It's super annoying when I just spent a good amount of direct time by selecting some anchor points and I have to go all the way back and do more. It's absolutely destroy my workflow.

Also, I know it's not hardware related.

I have a new MBP 15 inch brand retina 2014. 16gigs ram, core i7, the whole shebang. Apple recently (yesterday) gave me this machine to replace one of the identical specifications, because I and they determined that shouldn't happen other things happening. Now, I do not think it is more that I have just opened illustrator for the first time, and whaddya know. I had a bunch of other problems with the other computer, and I thought it was just another symptom.

I use illustrator all day. I have used it for years on less powerful machines. I have a dell of 2011 at home that I use now because of this problem. I am not anything do ram intensive, and that happens not only on the great illustrator documents. It happens in the Mavericks and Yosemite. I'm completely updated in all. I'm not using a fancy or wacom mouse, and it comes up with the trackpad as well.

I disabled all my extensions and finally understood that this bug is related to BetterTouchTool, which is used to align windows on Windows. Too bad, because I like to have this option, but getting rid of it is better than having to constantly undo. I will update if the problem persists, but I can already see a significant improvement in performance.

    umangkansagra,

    How about Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + B to switch between showing and hiding the bounding box?

    Absence of any (other) cause/cure, 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.

  • Illustrator CS3 - Print - output - allow me to select color separations

    Hello

    I'm printing for the first time.  The process of preparing should be really simple right?  Separate the layers of color, using Illustrator, then print each layer on transparent sheets.  Well, I'm about to lose my mind.

    The image is CMYK, it is a unique spot color (I think) which is red and the contours are black.  The printer is a Canon ix6500.

    I can't separate the colors in Illustrator CS3?  Why?  When you select Print > output > Mode > it won't allow me to select the halftone colors.

    I tried to solve this problem by selecting the printer > Adobe Postscript and PPD > Canon ix6500 series.  It allows me to select the colors dithered, but then it will not print, it only saves it in PDF format and print such what.

    Help, please!  Any advice would be appreciated!  I'm going out of my mind here!

    Hey everybody!

    I found the solution! So here are the steps, I hope people out there could benefit from this :-)

    This is what worked for me using a Mac and a non-postscript (Canon iX6540), Illustrator CS6 printer, PostScript known as Scribus downloaded software.  My drawing was created in Illustrator and all colors have been Pantone solid coated spot colors.

    These are the specifications that must be selected in the print dialog box:

    General

    • Predefined print: custom
    • Printer: Adobe PostScript file
    • PPD: Lisanet PDFwriter

    Output

    • Mode: Separations (host-based)
    • Ink Options panel can present spot colors that appear in your design.

    Then you save it :-)  This will save as a PostScript file.  To open it, you will need a software PostScript.  One who seems to have done the trick is to Scribus.

    Thanks for any help at all!  Entry everyone ends by helped me to find the solution!

  • Turn off auto scroll when you select objects in windows Explorer 7

    How can I disable AutoScroll in windows Explorer when I select an object in the second line of the display of the list?

    It is preventing me to double click on the file... :(

    If the entire column can not be seen, it scrolls when you select an item in this column.  The only way to avoid this is to maximize the window of your file so that it can receive the full column width.

Even when I choose to close, he said that it "unexpected." Really irritating - ideas?

    Your options are:

    -try to make it work (could take a few hours and may does not always work)

    -get the CS6 (has problems as well, but works a little better)

    -get CC

    -install a virtual machine with an older system (10.6 or 10.8)

    -Check if your Mac is not as new as you think and you can still run Yosemite (also has problems, but perhaps not as much)

    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.

  • Illustrator CC hangs and crashes since switching to the new computer

    A few weeks ago, I got a new computer at work. Ever since then, Illustrator CC hangs and then crashes after having been opened or reduced to a minimum for a little while. HE tried to uninstall and reinstall Illustrator several times and even exchanged maps charts twice without success. I'm stuck doing an office away from an old computer everytime I want to use Illustrator. I never had this problem on my old machine.

    The crash is never immediate; It is always after the Illustrator has been open for a little while. If it is minimized, when I try to bring it to the top, everything that the restorations is a small gray rectangle in the upper left corner of my screen. So when I try to fill the taskbar Illustrator, it crashes. This is the error it gives:

  • I'm updating photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop, the object doesn't turn into a dynamic object why?

    Update photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop object market not turning into a smart object why?

    OK - think I have this sorted out now.

    When you copy and paste an Illustrator file in Photoshop, you get the dialog box PASTE.

    You can paste as smart object, Pixels, path and shape layer. In the past, you would select depending on what you want (in my case for most Smart Object) and viola - you have your dynamic object. However, in the newly revised version, there is a checkbox in low called "Add to my current library" If this box is checked, it becomes a library file that displays with a 'cloud' icon in the layer. If you uncheck the 'Add to my current library' it won't matter as a regular smart object.

  • error on the selection of object in ILLUSTRATOR CC

    Hi all, I have problem with object selection in illustrator CC, when I select the current object it will also choose the other object, I can not select the object I want, not on the group or the clipping mask... always to highlight both. It often happen when I've done so vector object. any help from you guys is so appreciated...

    Thank you

    It happened through so many versions that I remember most when I met first it.

    One thing works only occasionally when you get such a choice of "ghost";

    Create another object (a small square or other).

    Select it. Your new object and spirit will be selected at this point.

    Align using one of the alignment buttons, any.

    Immediately cancel the move (Cmnd/Ctrl + z) and deselect your new object. On the nine times out of ten the ghost selection will be gone as well. If so, you can remove your superfluous object and continue to work (until next time).

    It does not always work. But it is faster than a reboot when it does.

  • selection of objects in illustrator

    I do some very specific changes to a batch of images and not to find the best way to speed up the process.

    Here is my method:

    Place an image in illustrator, use the vectorization (6 colors) and expand.

    Now I want to select only the objects in a particular area, which is a triangle, invert the selection, and delete everything outside the shape.

    I found a way to reduce the images with my triangle by adding the selection to the live paint function before expanding.

    I am importing these objects in a CAD program, so it's important that I have actually to delete the rest of the objects, instead of just them, masking because they are always there when I import to my CAD program.

    In addition to individually by selecting and by removing the objects that I don't need, is there a way to instantly choose?

    Is there a way to select all the objects in my triangle shape, or select all objects in a form?  You select the same fill color, etc. will not work because the work inside and outside of my triangle are the same colors.

    I also tried first cropping the image to my triangle shape personalized with photoshop before importing it in illustrator, but I can't seem to find a way to do it without producing unwanted results.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Vectorization and exapnd. Place the triangle on the top of the trace function that covers what you want to keep.

    Select all, Pathfinder > Crop. This will remove all outside the object (triangle).

    Hi James-

    You are running (3.0.02.37) EA1, ai2 (3.0.02.83) would say "Configuration for server...". "(or may flash by too quickly to see according to the connection speed).

    Query in EA1 Builder tries to load metadata for everything when you open it.

    In ai2 it changed to Just-In-Time (and only within the scope) loading model.

    Good news:


    • Consumption of memory no more massive or hanging of Query Builder.

    • Metadata for the referenced objects in terms of loading only.

    Compromise:


    • More a break on drag - move or spend the worksheet for Query Builder to load the metadata for each new data object (not yet recovered).

    • Menu of context 'add items... '. "deleted. (Only loading the metadata for the referenced objects in reality == no dialogue except things loaded via drop or SQL, so better do not make it.) BUT schema browser (in the context menu for the connection) provides a similar filter capacity & you can drag and drop from there to requester.

    See thread: 3.0.02.37 EA1: Query Builder Performance with grand scheme? for more history if you're interested.
