![]() ![]() Don’t ask why it’s so broken, just be happy you know the fix now. Hold down the Command key and voilà, suddenly the object that you are dragging snaps to the anchor point. Sometimes it won’t snap to anchor points though, even when they are right under your mouse cursor. The Smart Guides option (CMD-U to toggle it off and on) is not for everyone, but I like it. ![]() You can switch it on and off for selected objects in the extended part of the Transform panel, but once the document has this option activated at creating, you’ll have to de-activate it for every new object! You can only activate or deactivate the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid option when creating a new document via a checkbox. Seriously, who would ever want that?! Fortunately this can be fixed by double-clicking the Brush tool and Pencil tool icons and choosing ‘Fill new pencil strokes’. Then there’s the Brush tool and Pencil tool that loose their color after every stroke. ![]() If you use the Grid, this is a good time to set it to something more useful than 25,4 mm with 8 subdivisions too… While it’s open, I’d like to set the General > Keyboard Increments to 0,1 mm, or at least something else then the equivalent of 1 point. I had already set Units to millimeters and Color to RGB when creating a new document but you might want to also set the Unit for Stroke to millimeters in the Preferences (CMD-,) > Units panel. This recipe for problems is easily fixed by the CMD-ALT- shortcut, or by choosing View > Guides > Lock Guides. I won’t discuss the backgrounds, but it is important to know a few things, to avoid a lot of frustration.įirst thing I noticed, is that guides are not locked per default. Illustrator has a few weird default settings. Finally I deleted the mailbox and imported it again from a backup BD-R. The messages were there but the text of the body wasn’t rendered. It messed up one mailbox, as far as I can tell. I had a 20 GB worth of old email messages and attachments and the transition went relatively smoothly. It looks exactly the same, except for the color panel button maybe. It opens Powerpoint files just fine, so you don’t have to install Powerpoint just to work with a Powerpoint file once in a while. Fortunately, now you get KeyNote for free with OS X Mavericks. I normally never use Powerpoint, unless someone sends me a. This didn’t work as perfectly, like iCal and Address Book did. ![]() I’ve been using them for years and I don’t feel ‘at home’ without them.Ĭoming from 10.7, it’s nice to notice that Notes’ content now synchronizes nicely between my old Mac Pro 2008 with 10.9 Maverics installed and of course my iPhone and iPad. (I now use the CTRL-SPACE and CTRL-ALT-SPACE combinations as keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight and Spotlight Finder Window, they don’t seem to clash with anything else.) The usual power toolsĪlthough OS X is more versatile than ever, there are still some utilities that I like to have at my fingertips. If you want to keep access to Zoom Out in illustrator, you can disable the CMD-ALT-SPACE Finder shortcut in System Preferences > Keyboard > Spotlight (or in System Preferences > Spotlight) by unchecking the Show Spotlight box. Since the Finder keyboard shortcut is global, it overrules Illustrator. Per default, in OS X Mavericks, the command-alt-space keyboard combination opens a Finder search window, even when you’re working in, say, Adobe Illustrator, trying to use this shortcut to invoke the Zoom-Out tool. How to prevent CMD-ALT-SPACE from opening a new Finder Window I’ve listed what I ran into, and what I did about it: OS X Mavericks adjustments. Then, all the possibilities of Mavericks and it’s apps and utilities can be a bit overwhelming. You might run into some small problems or have some questions. Usually you have to install some software or at least make some adjustments to OS X. Recently I bought a new MacBook Pro and updated my old Mac Pro to Mavericks. I always like to get a new Mac or even just an OS X update. ![]()
