"Object on Path" does not work (greyed out)

Community Beginner ,

Why is the object on Path greyed out?

Since update nothing works in Illustrator, very frustrating.

 

MacBook Pro M1 Max / 64 GB / Tahoe 26.1

Illustrator 30

Hi philipp_9222

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble using the "Object on path" options in Illustrator. In addition to what our expert has asked, would you mind checking the same on a new file or a new object in this file? We would want to ensure whether this issue is occurring with all files or just this specific file and with this specific object.

 

Could you please confirm if you have Illustrator. i.e, 30.1 installed on your machine?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks

The screenshot gives me an error.

 

Anyway: is any other menu greyed out? Effects (of course with an object selected)?

Are other menus greyed out as well? Like Effects?
