SVG filters

[boydbartley]

I am now working with svg's and want to apply filters. toutorialsw I am watchinmg shows a list of filters under Effects/SVG Filters but under min all I get is Apply SVG Filters and Import SVG Filters. I do not get the list. Am I suppose to have that list of those filters and, if so, how do I get them?

Normally, you should have access to about a dozen default SVG filters in the Effect menu. And they should be editable as well.

I seem to remember that sometimes they do not appear in the menu due to some unknown reasons and I think that it may be repaired by closing the application, trashing the main Illustrator Preferences file and then restarting Illustrator.

You may try that.

Nope. Still no filters. I tried tech support but The volumn on the support phone was so low I couldn't understand him. I appreciate your response

Can you see this file in the Illustrator application folder?

If not, you may need to reinstall Illustrator.

That file was not there so I deleted Illustrator with preferences. Re-installed Illustrator and still no svg filters

[boydbartley]

Yes, That file is there

Don't delete Illustrator, always use the uninstaller.

If that does not work, try the CC Cleaner before installing:

Sorry, I didn't just delete Illustrator. I did uninstall it. Just used the wrong words. I will use the cleaner now.

Still no SVG Filers. When I ran the cleaner, I chose product 21 which was Illustrator. Seems like it just removed illustrator. When i re-installed it, no Filters

It doesn't appear for my outlined text but they do appear for basic shapes. I have trashed the preferences many time, uninstalled Illustrater many times. Installed the previous version a couple of times. Still the same. The outlined text I want to apply the filter to just aren't there for this paticular file
