Rutime errors with all versions fresh install

I run Windows 7 64 bit and I keep getting runtime errors, like every 2-3 minutes or so...

Is it because I have 64 bit?

Re: How to change fill pattern color?

Thanks Brynn,

But I hope there is an easier way?...something missing as simple as this is just about enough to go back to Adobe! ;(

How to change fill pattern color?

I can fill a rectangle with a pattern, checkered , but it's only in black and white.

How can I change it to red and any color I want?

In photoshop I used hue and saturation for this.

Thanks

I can't find a way to select multiple layers....

How do I merge, select and delete layers in groups?

Can I create sublayers also?

I tried keyword combinations to no avail!

Hi Maestral,

How did you do that? You're a genius, looks better than a real pic ;)

I'll need to do some reading once this rush is over...

Cheers!

Re: Why this file is so slow to work with?It's only 4 megs?

Because that vector image needs to pluggin into another vector file, the label file, need to merge it into one, then paste in the lable. I need that image and a lot of others to be pasted into the file I'm attaching. Not sure if I traced it or not...I used a filter from JPEG and traced a Bitmap... W...

Re: Why this file is so slow to work with?It's only 4 megs?

Thanks everybody,

I don't need any nodes or layers, just that simple image as a vector that I can stretch, how can I like "merge" all layers into a single node?

Or how can I "flatten image" as a single layer vector?

Sorry,very new at this!

Cheers!

Why this file is so slow to work with?It's only 4 megs?

I created this file from an image to SVG and it's impossibly slow to work with, tried on an XP desktop and also a Windows 7 brand new laptop with 6 Gigs or ram, but uneditable...is the file corrupt?

Can't attach so here it is:

How to convert bitmaps and Jpegs to vectors?

I did a search on the forum but haven't fond anything...

Is there a way to do that? Like fetch a bitmap from Wikipedia and turn it into a stretchable vector?

Looked on the Wiki also but too many options...

Thanks,

How to edit the text on this file?

Hi there,

I can select the text, and sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't...

In some cases I can add or delete text and in some other the text just repeats on itself...difficult to explain.

If nobody understands I'll need to record a movie to show what I mean...

Thanks,

Re: Using gaming mouse to design?

I'v now switched from a Microsoft mouse that is the most comfortable but with 1000 DPI to a gaming mouse that is 2400 dpi.

The gaming mouse works faster but annoying to hold...

Would the track ball be a compromise?

Or a "normal" design mouse with high DPi?

I think I have it figured out, I just need to create layers, so I can put the basket behind the eggs? I need to experiment more with it, just very new at it.
