1. Re: Can't move objects with Selection Tool
Jacob Bugge Sep 17, 2013 1:58 PM (in response to charlielavoy1)Charlie,
The following is a general list of things to try in case of serious strangenesses.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
See posts #3 to 7 in this thread about locating the folder in CC,

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

charlielavoy1 Sep 17, 2013 2:19 PM (in response to Larry G. Schneider)Well, I have actually closed out and restarted the computer. At first I thought it was some new changes in the controls because of CC.

It resets the basic preferences. If you like your custom settings, moving the folder (which can be moved back again to avoid an unnecessary sacrifice) will be preferable.

charlielavoy1 Sep 18, 2013 9:47 AM (in response to Larry G. Schneider)Holy moly. So after doing the ctrl+alt+shift trick, and then reinstalling the program, I found that the simplest answer was the one that I should have tried first. For some reason, I had to press Esc while the object was selected. Not sure why a hidden dialogue would open up, but I'm glad I know that now. Thanks Larry!
