It seems to crash more consistently when dragging the text, but it still crashes sometimes when dragging the icon.

You could try this plugin.

Use whatever color you want and simply uncheck the "Print" checkbox in the layer options.

I'm not sure why people are still using this extension, since the bug has been fixed for weeks.

> you should be careful and backup your preferences or else you will loss your customized workspaces, shortcuts, etc. You won't lose them; they just won't be selected by default. Workspaces and shortcuts reside in separate files.

Mac OS X Mavericks with Illustrator CC 2014. I can't reproduce the crash reliably, but it's happened three times now while trying to use the tool. I'm accustomed to creating a specific size rectangle by clicking on the artboard with the tool, which this tool does not allow; it may happen then, but of course not every time.

Unfortunately, this is causing Illustrator to crash. Thanks anyway!

Right, right. Although you can save as a Photoshop EPS with a clipping path.

Or draw a path around the object with the pen tool and use it as a vector mask in Illustrator. If you do it in Photoshop, you'll need to save the file in a format that supports transparency (e.g. PSD, PNG, EPS, TIFF).

It will be set to whatever that document profile is set to. Document profiles are located at ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator XX/en_US/New Document Profiles.

That's your bleed line. Go to your Document Setup window (Option-Command-P) and set bleed to 0.

And the layers the guides are on aren't locked, either, I assume?

Does it happen all the time, or just with certain documents? If you create a new file and throw some guides on it, can you move them around with the mouse immediately?

Are you sure you're not talking about Photoshop? I wasn't aware Illustrator had scrubby zoom.

You can simply do this by using the transform tool while holding 'command' for a mac. This allows you to drag the corners of a shape individually, effectively the same function as the free distort tool in illustrator. Wrong. Every time you move a corner point, the entire bounding box resets to another rectangle. That is the fundamental problem in Illustrator's distort feature.

I just got a reply from a developer about this very issue today. They will look into it.

One thing I did differently, though, was I used a dotted line (rounded end caps, 0pt dash, 9.25pt gap) instead of a special brush. I am able to adjust the size and spacing of the dots on the fly that way.

Of course! This might just be the easiest and best-looking method I've seen in Illustrator. I was able to create this beautiful, evenly spaced and uniformly sized pattern in no time: Thanks to everyone!

Lots of great resources! Grant, how did you go about creating your Archimedean spiral?

Anyone know how to go about creating a mathematically precise sunflower pattern of dots in Illustrator? It looks like the basic idea is to create a spiral arm of dots and then rotate copies around a central point, but I'm not sure how far apart to space the dots and how much to rotate each arm to make the dots equally spaced.

No, it's not the same thing. Illustrator's distort is not like Photoshop's distort. You should read the entire post.

Ack. I did confuse the two people, but my answer applies to both. I wish there was a feature that would consider a selection as one unit for alignment purposes so I can keep my layers and groups hierarchy. There is such a feature; it's called grouping your objects. Layer hierarchy is maintained in the sublayers. It would be impossible to align multiple shapes as one unit if they weren't grouped together; how would Illustrator know they were supposed to act as one unit instead of being aligned individually? And we're talking about this in the context of a logo, which is a single cohesive unit, and as such should really be grouped at all times anyway.

No, I understand perfectly. He wants to align his logo with the center of the artboard, but he seems to think that grouping the individual elements of the logo will ruin his layer hierarchy. He doesn't seem to understand that a design that is grouped into one object still has a layer hierarchy in the layer's sublayers. There is no need to have each element of the design on a separate layer; Illustrator does that for you.

That's what sublayers are for. Illustrator already creates a hierarchy of all shapes on any given layer, whether they're grouped or not.

Yeah, just group the objects together (Object > Group). Or if for some reason you wanted to center the group without grouping them, you could select all the shapes and set the x value of the center point to half the width of the artboard.
