    Hello @Curly creations,

     

    Sorry to hear about this experience. I hope the suggestions shared by Ton, Larry, and jackn14139033 helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly try resetting Illustrator's preferences by following the steps shared in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html) and sharing your observations.
    Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with the defaults. You may take a backup of these settings from the location mentioned in the article.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.


    Thanks,
    Anubhav

    THANK YOU, that one worked for me! I have been designing a logo on a slightly skewed outboard for a few days and it has been driving me nuts!

    Check in Preferences>General and make sure the Constrain angle is set to 0*.

    Try to uncrook it by switching to CPU Preview (Cmd E (Mac) Ctrl E (Win)).

    Or click the rocket icon at the top of your screen.
