Hello, I've had trouble with this before. I load new styles and the next time I open ps they are gone. They are gone again, but this time the same way I tried installing they are giving me this message Could not place “Gold Foil - 1 - PinkCoffie.asl” because no parser or file format can open the file. Is the new version of PS different?

Hello, I have installed asl files into photoshop (styles) by dragging the asl file into the PS icon on the dock. Worked fine. When I closed PS and came back in they were gone. Am I installing incorrectly?

How do I get embed to show up? It's not on the top like you are showing in your screen shot.

Hi! I have done this before but have never had this problem. When I click make and expand everything turns black and white and the background mixes in with the text. I tried making the background transparent, also tried making the background a contrasting color. Photos attached of before and after. Black is after

Can you tell me what I should do from the beginning? Maybe I am adding an incorrect step?

Hi! I use a cnc cutter with illustrator files. My files need to have the traceable lines around the edge only (not on the inside). I have this open heart shape that I did make and expand. Then added a stroke. At that point there is usually the original lines on the inside and I use merge. But not working. When I try to select and delete that inside line, the stroke goes away. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks so much!! Attaching screen shots and AI file. AI file: https://www.sendspace.com/file/7hrvit

Jeff Witchel, ACI can you please help me? I don't know why I am making this so difficult for myself. Same situation. Trying to follow the instructions but not working. From the beginning, I am taking a shape, and "Make and expand" I need the shape of the heart to be thicker and only have the cut lines on the outer edge and the inner edge. When I click on outline to delete original lines, the thickness in the stroke I created goes away. Attaching some pics. Thank you!

So, before I upgraded, when I highlighted the text somewhere around stroke on middle bar would say Height and Width.

Hi! I just upgraded illustrator so the top area that usually has stroke size and font ect is missing a few things that I use all of the time. One is the window that shows size. For example when I click on a text box, that area would show up with height and width of the text selected. Please tell how to get that back. Thank you!

Yes, both the circle and the a are selected. When I click merge it seems to group rather than merge.

Hello, I create graphics (usually text) that gets cut by a CNC machine so it cannot have any "interior lines". I usually get rid of these with merge and no issues. I've now created a circle and a letter inside and overlapping the circle. I do not want the machine to cut the letter out of the circle, so I am trying to merge the top and bottom of the a with the circle and it's not working. Not sure if this cannot be done with shapes. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for your help! The new machine came in today - difficult day! I am creating DXF files and it picks up every little mistake, even if it is off the art board. THat's a new one for me. I am using the offset path to make the bold appearance. Then I have to remove all of the points that are on the inside (most are from the outline of the original shape before I bolted it). Some of these points seem hidden. It takes quite a few times of selecting all to get each one and delete.

I was hoping to be able to use the document and keep changing the names so i wouldn't have to go through all of the editing w each name. Once i create outlines I cant change the name.
