Why is there not a reference point locator in the scale tool dialog box in Illustrator?

I guess that's also a suggestion that it is, but why isn't there a reference point locator in the scale tool dialog box in Illustrator? Maybe the function exists and I'm not aware, but it would just using the tool of the easier level. I realize, I can type in mathematics to scale upwards or downwards in the palette transform or workspace, but the scale tool dialog box offers the additional advantage to allow you to preview the results, while the other options are not. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

Roger,

  • Why is there not a drop down menu on the healing tool and the tool of healing spot on my CC

    I'm under CC and I am up to date with all updates.  I look at tutorials and I noticed that on 2 of my tools; Healing & healing spot brush have no flyout menu drop-down available, however in the tutorial, the menu clearly has the drop-down list on this subject? Also, I used the perspective distortion, and I could not use ctrl-click according to the tutorial.  Does make a difference that I said that I was a newbie when I downloaded CC? If I reinstall as expert will be having different content?

    Brush and Spot Healing brush of healing is both under the red eye tool:

  • Why is there not a profile of ACR for the Nikon 800 mm f5.6 E FL VR optical?

    Why is there not a profile of ACR for the Nikon 800 mm f5.6 E FL VR optical?  He has been out for 2 years or more.  A profile for the much newer f4E 600mm FL VR lens is already available.

    There is no profile for the 800mm lens.  Indeed most of the downloads seem to have enough old-maybe even non-AF-lenses.  So, I guess my only option is to wait.

  • Why is there not an option to print only the form data in Adobe XI?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and saved.  So I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then print only the data from the form, but it is not an option to print only the form data in Adobe Reader XI.  I don't know if it's in the way I created the form or something else.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Adobe is a software company, unless you are a builder.

    Player cannot directly print the form data.

    The ability to print the form data only exist in Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Standard. To purchase the full product provides more bang for the buck.

  • If you have a valid Windows Vista license, why are there not support which includes downloads of the files we can need to overwrite your file should are corrupted due to a virus or malware?

    I am an unlucky recipient of a laptop with Windows Vista. It came preloaded with Vista... no backup disks or manuals, etc. The restore feature was not turned on, so a restore point has not been set. My WMP will not play wmv or any wmp files. I also have problems with my automatic updates in Windows. I have 10 updates that were not successful, but there are probably pages of the attempts of many times where the updates failed. My Trend Micro Titanium Internet tells me I have a problem in my directory root, which is probably due to an update of Windows that was supposed to protect me from a weakness in Vista, but again once with my updates failed to download successfully, its possible the fix I need is still sitting there... I think it's a shame that MicroSoft is allowed to 'SELL' a product without disk... just a license # and NO manuals. AND not a lot of support for your money... or the other. I spent hours and hours trying to fix myself... using all the resources I can find... look like a dummy, I'm sure, but if I had the software I probably would have deleted from my hard drive and more. It would certainly have saved me MONTHS of frustration. Trend Micro and real human support downloaded the plus version of their software for me and recent, plus a few extras to eradicate certain other pests. To get a human being to help you at MicroSoft? It will be $60, please... Sorry, if I look a little tired, but you guys are supposed to be the best and I feel fuzzy. I have been in sales for a long time. long time AND sold the BEST AMERICAN made cars... CADILLACS, but you know if I take care of my clients after the sale... they would have felt like I do, today... disappointed. If every time they came into the dealership I have loaded the $$ to take care of them, they don't come back to me when the NEW models came out... I made sure they got their cars back washed... and they sent their friends to buy from me. And ILS never thought to buy from anyone else, actually when I left the company, I had a nice little legacy of clients in order to let my protégé.

    Thanks (again) Darin - especially for such a detailed response.

    Looks like you're in the clear, Phyllis :)

  • Why is there not a "right_click-> Send_URL" I can send a URL without having to open it first?

    Very easy to send a picture by clicking right on it and then selecting "send Image". Why is there not a corresponding 'Email Link' (i.e. send link) when the mouse cursor is over a hyperlink?

    The only way to do this now is to actually open the new page (in a new temporary tab), then use the "File->Email Link..." from the File menu, then kill the temporary tab.  Simply adding this to the right-click menu would make this soooo convenient.

  • Why Photoshop does not recognize that I have chosen the good black ink on my printer Epson R3000?

    I was printing on Epson Hot Press natural as I have done several times before. I opened the file to print in LR and then exported to PS CS6 for printing. Before that I had changed from black to black on the printer Epson matte photo. When I tried to print, using the correct profile, the correct printer for fine arts before, just like many times before, I received a message that the correct black ink was not installed. This has happened several times, if in frustration, I reset the black ink picture and then return to MK. Same result, same error message. Finally, I just saved the file in LR and went the print module. Printing went as it should. Why PS fail to recognize the ink, I chose in my printer and LR be able to do?

    There is a difference I see. Premium presentation matte paper is the media type of Lightroom. There is the natural choice of Hot Press in the fall down, but not what I had selected. Impression came out fine.

    Mystery solved. When I dug deeper into the PS, the printer settings dialog boxes, I discovered this:

    I just did not penetrate quite deeply. I HAD recently done a few quick glossies. I just assumed that when I turned on the printer with inks it would be picked up in the world.

    Thanks for your time!
