Adobe Illustrator blend tool greyed out

[akmed0D4C]

I am not able to click on "make'', I maked text, duplicated them and select them both but still not able to use the option.

akmed,

Your Ms seem to be unselected. What happens if you select both (you can just ClickDrag over them, or click the circles to the right in the Layers palette), then try again?

I already tried that, for some reason in the picture its not selected. It keeps greyed out...

Are any layers or objects locked?

As Ton suggested, your next best step would be to reset references.

If that doesn't work, try uninstall/reinstall with the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

In the screen capture, the two objects do not seem to be selected. I don't see a bounding box around them, but maybe you turned off the visibility (View > Show Edges or Hide Edges). 

If the objects are selected and the Blend tool is still grayed out, try choosing Object > Blend > Make.

Problem is that I am unable to select Object > Blend > Make

Jacob and Barbara are right, your control panel says "Geen selectie".

No selection > nothing to blend.

My bad for some reason its not selected on the picture. I did select them.

Which version?

Did you try to reset preferences?

I just had this same issue. Was able to solve this by "expanding" the text to make them objects. Then the "blend" function will become available when both are selected.

^^ this is the reply that saved me. Spent ages trying to blend text. Thank YOU LEGEND

In case anyone else happens onto this issue - I also found I was unable to blend my text layers if they were grouped together. When I ungrouped them, the "Make" option became available again in Text (without converting text to object).
