What I do know is I'm starting to hate Illustrator every time I have to fire it up these days.Īnyone else see this? Anyone have any idea how to fix it? File a bug report?ĪDDED: In playing with this just after my original posting, it appears that the described issues occur only with groups of objects. Maybe it's related to moving from Windows on CS3 to Mac on CS6, who knows. BetterTouchTool 2.340 Customize multi-touch trackpad gestures. BetterTouchTool does require a license (personal licenses are available from 4.00) but a free 45 day free trial is available, so you can try before you buy. I am hoping I "just don't get it." That there's an option mis-set somewhere in here. BetterTouchTool is a third party app that lets you create custom gestures for your Mac's trackpad. Quite honestly, that's a pain in the butt, and it's made literally everything I do in Illustrator take roughly twice as long. The only way I can find to accurately position the object is open the Transform dialog, and enter the measurements by hand.

I can arrow-key the object all over the workspace and it won't snap properly. The object moves by increments of the grid (1/8" in my example), but the object is not grid-aligned, and cannot be made to be. And yes, I know it sounds like the Snap to Grid is off, but it's not. The objects are always-ALWAYS-some fraction "off" in one direction or another. In CS6, this really just plain doesn't work-either with arrow keys, or moving the object with the mouse. If it was an uneven size, the edges would snap, making it easy to at least align the left and top edges (for example) where I want the object to sit. In CS3, I could just use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the object around, and its edges would precisely snap, as expected, to the grid, with no muss or fuss. I want it to sit, say, 2" from the top, and 4" from the left edge. I paste a 1/2" x 1/2" object from another file, or just copy and paste an existing one in the same file. If you need even more than those standard. Switch focus to any window Minimize, close, fullscreen any window Hide, quit any app Customize AltTab appearance (e.g.

This enables you to easily maximize your windows, position them side by side or even resize them to quarters of the screen. Better Touch Tool is one of the first apps I install on a new Mac (Fig. Use case: I set-up a grid with 1/8" spacing. BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen. To my eyes, Illustrator's Snap to Grid functionality is either broken-or I'm not understanding a (new?) option.
