Mac or PC? What OS? What version of Illustrator? I'll need this info to help...

I take it you're doing an ad for a publication and they've sent these specs to you? Every publication has different requirements for bleed - here in the UK the norm is 3mm but I do some ads for publications that require up to 10mm all round!! Your live area is very generous and much better than...

Can you cut and paste from the problem file into a new document on the PC? What happens then? Also what if you save the file again on the PC and take it back to the Mac? Is it once again editable?

Actually the behaviour of the points depends from which end of the path you try and move points. If you create a path with say 60 points where point 1 is the start of the path (the first point you created) and point 60 is the end of the path, moving points 1 to 9 will also cause points 51 to 59...

In case you're interested I've had a reply from Adobe about this problem. Its a bug with the Transform Plaette to do with how it handles the path in 50 point chunks. The Transform Palette is being rewritten for Illustrator 11 so it won't be an issue then, but there is unlikely to be an interrim...

You need to up the output resolution in the attributes palette. It should be at least 800 at the output size of the illustration. If you're scaling up your Illustrator files in a page layout program you may need to go even higher. I find that 1200 will cover you for most enlargements.

I don't htink there's any point to posting the path as since my last post I've tried some more things. First I tried exactly recreating the path point for point by creating new points and snapping them to the existing points on the problem path. Took about 20 minutes and at the end I had a path...

Is it possible to post the path up here so anyone interested can use it? Can't see how this can be done but I'm pretty busy here so haven't got time to look to hard. If not I'll email it to you.

There is nothing wrong with Illustrator. All previously created paths work normally and so do all new paths I create including those in the same document as the problem path. I have opened this document up on 4 different Macs at work running Illustrator versions from 8 to 10 all with the same...

Thanks for the tips - I've already sorted out my own work around and got the job done but it took over 4 times longer than it should. The path in question was quite complex (176 points) but composed entirely out of straight lines. What I'm trying to do now is find out why the path is behaving...

Sorry if this has come up before but I couldn't find anything that related exactly to my problem. I have a cutter guide that was produced on a PC CAD program (don't know which one) and saved as a .AI file. When I open it in Illustrator (any version from 8 to 10), there is a path which cannot...
