Why is it so difficult to resize rectangles in the new Illustrator

In the new CC Illustrator, it is really difficult resize rectangles or squares, especially using the bottom/center handle.

Am I useless or is there something weird going?

solshuffle,

I fear that 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:

    Why can't edit my contacts to search with the new ios 10.0.1

    It seems they have changed the way search works after the update. You can always edit contacts by opening the Contacts app, then open the contact you want to change. We do not know why they made the change, but unfortunately it is out of our reach. I don't know that they had a reason for this. If this is not the case, they will probably patch in an another mini update.

  • I can't resize new rectangles with the new 2014 Illustrator

    I know from reading other forums that there are issues with alignment on the grid, but I'm having a problem only with resizing the rectangles when I create the new. We have others in our company with the help of creative cloud that have updated and they do have the same problem I'm having.

    Basically, when I create a new rectangle or rounded rectangle corner it is of fixed size and I don't give me the handles to resize. I have to select the object and then click object > shape > expand the Rectangle to get the angles to capture and reshape and resize. I checked and no controlled all the parameters that I can see or read on and nothing changes that. It's a real pain to have to go through this with every object I create.

    I also tried to restart the software and my computer several times, but it's always the same.

    Am I just missing a few little setting somewhere?

    ozcycle, others,

    It seems that the problem is a bug that is limited to only one of the MAC versions starting from 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked below.

  • Why did Microsoft keep "to abandon" OS and introduce the new OS when they old BONES don't ever work in the first place?

    VISTA seems to be the MOST aggrevating experience.  Then came "Windows 7" and is now at the forefront "Windows 8" when THEY have NEVER ABORDE LES PROBLEMS WITH VISTA AND WINDOWS 7, now they'll introduce Widnows 8.

    Can someone explain to me (with a VALID point) as to WHY Microsoft keeps "to abandon" is the customer base loyalty and introduce NEW operating systems and they never solve the problems that were in the 'old BONES '...

    A Mac can get a virus.  There are too many users stupid that click on stupid things like Windows.  What he does not (but longer) is market share and thus an economic reason to attack him.  But to say that he "' not get virus, sorry, it can and it has too many flaws.  It doesn't just have the ecosystem of the attacks.  If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it falls really?  If a vulnerability to a Macintosh system don't get coded upward, because there is more targets in the Windows world, this actually means that a Mac can't catch a virus?

    Wait until the Mac have economic objectives and equivalent market share so that they are equal and then we'll come back to this thread and make that call.

    Do you mean the difference between the Windows and Mac operating systems?  As PC does in fact mean personal PC - and Macintosh based computers are PCs.

    The EXACT difference with regard to the operating system is that Mac is based on the core Unix - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mac_OS_X so that Windows is the C and C++ language based as I understand it.  http://StackOverflow.com/questions/380988/what-programming-language-was-Windows-Vista-programmed-in

    That's like asking what EXACTLY the difference between the German and the French language.  They are different orgins, different codes.

    The current Mac OS was actually bought by Apple because they need a new OS - purchased from Steve Jobs, who had been expelled from the Apple and then begins.

    Both are operating systems that follow the orders given to him by the man, written by humans, who need updates for adding features, and the security fixes for when they are not exactly what they intend to do.

  • Why is it so difficult for a Microsoft Windows 7 receive a JPEG of bluetooth?

    I just bought a new Acer M3 - 581TG 64-Bit Core i5 Lap top my whole life I have been using Acer lap tops and Windows XP, which is so easy to use. Installation of the unit, the twinning of the device, download the software, reinstall the device and a simple file, takes me another 10 days to try and send by bluetooth to a Samsung Note N7000 to a simple laptop from Acer. And yet no prevail! Is it because the Malaysia is a bit off topic in the study of windows 7 and that's why Microsoft makes very difficult file transfer? Or is it because Apple is more friendly user and to use windows requires more knowledge or some sort of a class or a standard to use? Why the * I would consider even Microsoft in the future? Or is it because I bought a lower version of a laptop that windows makes it harder to accomplish tasks? Makes my life miserable and my work cannot be done. Have a microsoft windows today is like very embarrassing! Is someone out there can tell me what is the requirement of a simple file by bluetooth transfer? Office help is so * up!

    Acer [wants] send me the laptop back to factory...

    Then this is probably your best bet - assuming that you intend to keep the laptop.

    But it might be better to return the laptop to the place you bought it, either for a full refund or a credit.

    If the latter, take your smartphone from Samsung in the store and didn't get no accept any other laptop until you've proven yourself what it & your smartphone can communicate via Bluetooth.

    Otherwise, you could always the pix by email to yourself - or replace the Samsung with a Windows 7 Smartphone.

    Good luck.

  • Why if alpha tween move and resize symbols?

    Why if alpha tween move and resize symbols?

    I am wanting a graphic element to fade as it changes shape - shape went very well, but the alpha slider starts moving the shape around the stage!

    Is this a classic Tween?  Images key with irregularly placed points of alignment can cause problems like that, if you want to be sure that the registration point is in the same position in two key frames.

    To move the anchor point, use the transform tool to select your symbol; Then click and drag the little white circle... it must be aligned on Center & edges.  Make sure that it is in the same place on all chassis.

  • Since I've updated, I can't resize rectangle shapes.

    Since I've updated, it seems I can't resize rectangles or rounded rectangles of edge more.  The bounding box is not present, only the nodes to round the corners.  Only, this seems to be the case for the shapes rectangle, ellipse and other polygons are not affected.  Have they changed something and it is a feature, or is this a bug?

    I tried restarting and all that, it always happens across many files.  Help!

    Seems to be a bug. Try to convert the Rectangle to live at a dead using the object > break down.

  • Why is it so difficult to find the latest version of Firefox?

    There seems to be no place on mozilla.org see easily what is the current version of Firefox. I have to dig through the support questions and answers to find out. If this is kept secret for some reason? THX

    Hi gamble-PuTTY, I don't know why your Firefox discovered the update if these preferences are set. You probably wouldn't know if you've ever tried to prevent Firefox to auto-update... the methods have been proposed which include the addition of a hosts file or firewall update server name or another external locking mechanism. Maybe Firefox isn't able to determine why requests to this server fail if that is the problem.

    You can always find a current full installer on the next page:

    https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/

    The links system requirements and Release Notes at the top lead to pages with the current version number. To find your Installer, scroll to your preferred language.

  • Why when you move a window outline of the rectangle of the window moves first

    all of a sudden when I move a window to its original position, a rectangle frame moves first to the new location and then the contents of the window moves then.

    Before that happened, when I moved a window from one place to the other, the whole window moved immediately. What is the cause?

    It is an option.  Try this:

    • Open the start menu and type 'effects' in the box
    • Choose "change the appearance and performance of Windows."
    • Make sure "Content of the Show window while dragging" is enabled, and then click OK.
    • Try to slide again.
  • Why do I get a blue rectangle covering the photo in the develop module?

    I bought the upgrade to LR6 (or is that LR CC?).  The new software downloaded, installed, updated catalog, it seems to work normally.  When I first opened the program, it seemed ok, but soon a large blue rectangle (with a top X) appeared on the photo selected in the library module.  I signed out and signed in; I restarted my computer.  The rectangle is always there, but I saw that no module has been highlighted.  When I clicked on the library, the rectangle disappeared.  So, I thought I had solved the problem.  BUT the rectangle persists in the develop module (only he).  The controls do not seem to work (if I click on the cropping rectangle, I can see in the upper right preview window), but I don't see the rectangle not really change anything.

    Any ideas?  (I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit)

  • Why can't I save an image resized in the new size and the new CIO?  This just started happening 2 days ago.

    I have not been here before.

    For some reason any crazy when I try to save an image resized with a different dpi, PS6 says I saved.

    But if I'm going to re - open the same image, its in a different (but proportional) size and its original dpi.


    I also have the PS3 and if I open the image resized in the PS3, it opens in the new correct size and the new DPI!


    What is the problem with my SP6?


    Apparently her you open cab (and the resolution is there, in the blue link under the main image window).

    The default value of the cab was 240, now it is 300.
