    I can understand that you still use CS6, because it's a perpetual license and you don't want to pay monthly.

    I can also understand that you want to use High Sierra, because it's free and it's new and it's shiny.

    Only: the two of them are not compatible. If you want to use CS6, downgrade the system. If you want to use High SIerra, update Illustrator to the latest version.
