Mylenium Aug 19, 2010 12:34 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)Your After effects problem may depend on specific features or effects used, so post your question over there and provide more info. As for your AI issue, I have no idea. Quite possible there's a bug somewhere. Does it also occur with guides and grids? Any particular reason you need the rotatete tool and not the generic transform?

3. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
Infinity_Spiral Aug 19, 2010 1:06 AM (in response to Mylenium)The rotate tool lets me rotate around a specific anchor point for fractal or spirograph-like effects whereas the transform tool just rotates in place and doesn't offer the ability to move the anchor. I tried uninstalling the wacom driver for the intuos3 tablet and the program functions normally so my guess would be that this is a driver bug not and adobe bug.

Infinity_Spiral Aug 25, 2010 5:55 PM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)Wacom is saying they aren't able to reproduce this bug and that it's an Adobe issue hmmm how annoying. Love when the buck gets passed around.

randallgator Sep 3, 2010 12:53 PM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)I too experience this problem and was hoping to find a solution. I've tried reverting to early Wacom Driver versions with no success. I find that if you "break the connection" between the pen and the tablet then the rotate point will drop and the rotate dialog will appear. I've found that this only works reliably when lifting the pen straight up off of the tablet til it loses signal. Not ideal for precision work. You'll notice that the rotate point drops when you move over to the menus, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the "drawing area."
My system specs for comparison.
Intuos 3
Windows 7 x64
Wacom driver v. 615-3a
Illustrator CS5 15.0.1
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Driver Version 258.96
Core i7 920 Processor
12Gb DDR3 Ram

7. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
Infinity_Spiral Sep 3, 2010 1:15 PM (in response to randallgator)I did have some half-success by uninstalling, restarting, then reinstalling java and all it's updates. Also Color Munki was trying to install multiple versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable so I uninstalled that and just installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable which looks like the most recent one. Illustrator still won't let me use the alt key to pick up the anchor, but if I select an object and then select the rotate tool, then left click and drag on the anchor I am able to get it into a new position without it sticking.

CarlosCanto Sep 4, 2010 3:16 PM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)I can't test on CS5 now but I use it everyday at work and haven't noticed a difference with CS4
3. Alt-Click to pick up the anchor point and drag to a new posiiton
4. Let the mouse go- at this point the anchor stays locked to the cursor even if I click and am only able to unlock it from the cursor if I click on a new tool, but without getting to choose a new anchor point.
I didn't know about Alt-Clicking and dragging to change the rotation reference point, Alt-Clicking works fine for that purpose without dragging. I did Alt-Click and drag with the same results, no bug or lock with CS4, I'll try CS5 on Tuesday.

9. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
SebAnd Jan 10, 2011 4:05 PM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)I have found that if I click directly on the pivot point I can drag and drop it without any sort of Alt funny business or any hanging to my mouse. I'm not sure if this is a happy glitch or they just made life easier in CS5.

10. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
curtjackson Mar 15, 2012 4:49 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)I've had this bug for as long as I can remember now - it occurs with the rotate tool and also the scale tool.
If I want to position the pivot point I have to use the mouse, which works fine. I would contact Wacom, but to be honest I'm somewhat jaded by relentlessly lacklustre product support throughout all areas of everything that I just can't be bothered.

Eugene Dest Apr 5, 2012 4:39 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)May be the bounding box is off?. In illustrator, go to View > Show bounding box > Enjoy

go2qdesign May 28, 2012 4:20 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)I have the same issue. The problem started when I upgraded to cs5. I too am on Windows using an older CTE 640 table. I've tries everything (short of contacting WACOM) and not been able to resolve the issue.

Nice

15. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
RJSmyth Apr 8, 2013 8:30 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)Hey, Ive just come across the same issue, im using a wacom and manage to resolve it by pressing the "windows" key. It seems that when the windows menu pops up outside of Illustrator it sort of breaks the trance of the stuck ancor point. Silly really but works for now.

16. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
Infinity_Spiral Apr 8, 2013 10:14 AM (in response to RJSmyth)Do you use a wacom mouse combo? I did fix this issue, but can't remember if just the general upgrades so CS5 fixed it or if ditching the wacom mouse for a logitech mouse fixed the problem.

17. Re: Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug
RJSmyth Apr 8, 2013 10:21 AM (in response to Infinity_Spiral)Im using CS5 and I use a wacom Intuos 3 that has a mouse but i never use it. I have a Logitech mouse that doesnt have the issue so definately the wacom but since using the wacom full time a few months ago i never use a mouse. It is a really weird issue but must have somthing to do with the software not recognising the wacoms tap or the wacom not telling the software, or something!?!?
Either way, in a little frustration tapping any key that i thought would commit the ancor move i hit the windows ket and realised it kinda slapped Illustrator to snap outta its trance and get on with it. Let me know if you recall any update that is practical than this current method.
cheers,
