Question

Where does Ai store prefs files in Mac OS Tahoe?

My workspace preferences are all grayed out, including the defaults. I’d prefer to not reset all prefs. Can I just delete the workspace prefs? Where do I find them?

You can find them here: Username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Illustrator … Settings > Workspaces an Modified Workspaces

But I doubt if that will help. Did you already restart your machine?

Well, just quitting and restarting Ai fixed it. Hadn’t had a chance to quit all afternoon, in the thick of it trying to figure things out on this project I’m working on … Once I get everything backed up to the server I’m going to shut down the computer for the weekend. We shall see how it does next week. Thanks so much, Ton, for the quick response!!
