  1. Thanks Hangman. I think this is what is happening. When creating the 2 files, I started with 2 different PDF files and it seems they are quite different sizes. Once I resize to the same dimensions and resolutions, my line width issue resolves itself.
  2. Very similar situation happening to me. I created a line style in one document (10 point width + colour at 65%). When I apply the style to a line in another document, the line style applies but at 55.6 points. The same is occurring to all the styles I created in the other document. As Tom mentioned above, "scale with object" is turned OFF for these styles.
  3. I don't disagree that Designer has some great alignment tools but what you've just described is taking 3 steps to do what should be a simple no step procedure. Illustrator introduced these extended crosshairs in around CS3 or CS4 but I first used this in my first Window's drawing tool that predated even Illustrator. When using the pen tool and drawing a new object, extending the cursor crosshairs would allows the user to align and place a new point at a position that aligns with some other location in the drawing even with snapping turned off. In the Illustrator version, as the crosshairs align up against another point, that other point highlights a bit to show it is aligned. This is especially helpful when building technical drawings (i.e. electrical schematics, etc.).
  4. For clarification, I have in the past had to resize groups of objects without snap to grid turned on. In these cases, some resized objects within the group no longer align with the gridlines. Extending the crosshairs when working on one of these objects makes it easier to realign points with other reference points that may be further away in the drawing.
  5. I found this Adobe Illustrator feature very useful in place of guidelines and snapping. While snapping is great when first starting a project, it becomes useless the moment you resize outside of the grid snap points. As for guidelines, I find they become quite cumbersome especially for more complicated projects.
  6. Is it possible to extend the cursor crosshairs across the whole page (i.e. to the top and side rulers) to make it easier to align new points with existing points?

  8. Is there any way to not have it selected? I've tried locking the layer and even hiding the layer (making it not visible) but that doesn't work either. The object still get selected automatically and changed when I adjust the selected objects.
  9. I've duplicated a layer and then locked the original to prevent changes. When I select a shape on the new layer and choose "Same fill and stoke", it also selects shapes on the original layer even though it is locked.
