In bulleted lists, each paragraph begins with a bullet character. In numbered lists, each paragraph begins with an expression that includes a number or letter and a separator such as a period or a parenthesis. Both lists help your users identify the key points in the text in ordered and unordered forms.
Apart from the default types of bullets and numbers, you can also use some of the presets available in the panel. As shown in the Bullets and Numbering dialog, click the preset button and preview the effect instantly in the text.
In bulleted lists, each paragraph beginswith a bullet character. In numbered lists, each paragraph beginswith an expression that includes a number or letter and a separatorsuch as a period or parenthesis. The numbers in a numbered listare updated automatically when you add or remove paragraphs in thelist. You can change the type of bullet or numbering style, theseparator, the font attributes and character styles, and the typeand amount of indent spacing.
You cannot use the Type tool toselect the bullets or numbers in a list. Instead, edit their formattingand indent spacing using the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, theParagraph panel, or the Bullets And Numbering section of the Paragraph Stylesdialog box (if the bullets or numbers are part a style).
A quick wayto create a bulleted or numbered list is to type the list, selectit, and then click the Bulleted List or Numbered List button in theControl panel. These buttons let you turn the list on or off andswitch between bullets and numbers. You can also make bullets andnumbering part of a paragraph style and construct lists by assigningstyles to paragraphs.
The Left Indent, First Line Indent, and Tab Position settings in the Bullets And Numbering dialog box are paragraph attributes. For that reason, changing these settings in the Paragraph panel also changes bulleted and numbered list formats
Ina numbered list, the numbers are updated automatically when youadd or remove paragraphs in the list. Paragraphs that are part ofthe same list are numbered sequentially. These paragraphs do nothave to be consecutive to one another as long as you define a listfor the paragraphs.
A defined list can be interruptedby other paragraphs and lists, and can span different stories anddifferent documents in a book. For example, use defined lists tocreate a multi-level outline, or to create a running list of numberedtable names throughout your document. You can also define listsfor separately numbered or bulleted items that are mixed together.For example, in a list of questions and answers, define one listfor numbering the questions and another for numbering the answers.
If list items appear in unthreadedframes on the same page, items are numbered in the order in whichthe text frames are added to the page. To reorder the items, cut andpaste the text frames one by one in the order in which you wantthem to be listed.
To create a multi-level list, define the list and then create a paragraph style for each level you want. For example, a list with four levels requires four paragraph styles (each one assigned the same defined list). As you create each style, you define its numbering format and paragraph formatting.
To include numbering prefixes from higherlevels, enter text or click at the start of the Number box and chooseInsert Number Placeholder and then select a Level option (for example,Level 1), or enter ^ and then the list level (for example, enter ^1).In a list with first levels numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on, and secondlevels numbered a, b, c, and so on, including the first-level prefixin the second level renders second-level numbers as 1a, 1b, 1c;2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c.
Place the insertion point in the paragraph and choose RestartNumbering from the context menu or choose Type > Bulleted AndNumbered Lists > Restart Numbering. In normal lists,this command assigns the number 1 (or letter A) to a paragraph andmakes it the first paragraph in a list. In multi-level lists, thiscommand assigns the first lower-level number to a nested paragraph.
Choose Continue Numbering from the context menu or chooseType > Bulleted And Numbered Lists > ContinueNumbering. This command resumes numbering a list that was interruptedby commentary, graphics, or nested list items. InDesign also offerscommands for numbering lists that begin in one story or book andcross into the next story or book.
I want to change the order of my artboards when exported to PDF, and the only way i can achieve this is by moving actual artwork from one artboard to another, which doesn't seem right. Is there any way to change the artboard number in Illustrator?
As you can see in the image below, the number on the left is the actual order and on the right you have the artboard name, that by default is "Artboard 1, 2 etc." But it has nothing to do with it's actual position, only the number on the left sets that.
I changed this number, shut down, restarted, and still only showing five files. It showed 20 as the number of recent files to display before I changed it, and there were only five showing then as well.
So I know very little about programming all around. I'm adept at photoshop and I'm looking to automate the numbering system for making these paint by number kits. I convert the images into vector format and set a maximum number of color variations. I then use adobe illustrator to create the outlined partitions of the image by color. This is all well and good, it's automated and efficient as far as I need.
My vison for how this would look would be numbers, 1-20 or so depending on the set color cap, evenly distributed across each partition in uniform font and size. The idea is that there would be a grid of 1 number (this number would be the reference to the color needed in this partition) spread across larger partitions and only a few of 1 number on the smaller partitions. It would hopefully look like so:
I don't know how to accomplish this, but I'm wondering how complicated this process would be in theory and would it be better for me to learn how to do it myself, hire a professional, or continue the hand numbering. It's creating a labor cap on my small business that is preventing me from further growth.
It can be done with script to some degree. It will work fine for simply forms. But for complicated forms it will be too hard to calculate where you need to put all numbers and how many number will be enough.
I normally use "Data Merge" in InDesign and use Excel (or something like it) to generate the list of numbers for me. You would copy the numbers into a text file so that InDesign can read them as the merge data source. Note that you would have one ticket on the page and then let InDesign set the other tickets on the page (you can tell the Data Merge control panel about spacing).
On a master page, create a text box. rightclick/insert special character/markers/current page number (also under the type menu). Have your ticket image on the master page too, then just create x number pages for x number of tickets.
There is a small bug that happens often when using the transform panel. I use it a lot to move and size objects with precision. Many times, I will want to move an object with the X and Y values. I will type a number, press enter and a completely different number value will automatically appear in the box and move it to that value. For example, I want to move an object to 4.25" in the Y axis and after I press enter, a value of 36.0833" appears and moves it to that value. It can happen up to three times before the number I want finally sticks. It is a minor inconvenience but would be great if this got fixed.
This is still a problem in 24.2.3. and 24.3 (Mac OS version)
I enter 25mm with for a rectangle without outlines and illustrator changes it to 25.003mm, 124.967mm and other unwanted sizes.
I enter it 3 or 4 times and finally sticks to 25mm.
It's a shame that this expensive program can't fulfil such a basic task.
Still a problem. I can't make anything on full point sizes. I'll type in "0p5" and it turns into "0p5.0004". I can't even set my keyboard increment to 1 pt. in the preferences panel. It seems like the only whole point values illustrator will accept are multiples of 3 like 0p6 and 0p9.
This is STILL NOT FIXED. I downloaded the free trial version of the most recent adobe illustrator, and I CANT EVEN RESIZE THE TEXT. Forget it. Just lost thousands of dollars for myself and my entire team 20+ people. We're sticking with inkscape, which is free and actually works. Ridiculous you can't even resize in both width and height, only width will rescale no matter what you do! Absolutely ridiculous adobe, thats so basic. Sad to see its been happening for YEARS and nothing has been done.
Adobe Illustrator released an update (version 26.4) that allows for lists to be created from text within Illustrator using the paragraph section or the control panel. Now users can create either bulleted lists or numbered lists directly from Adobe Illustrator.
If typing the list out it may be necessary to continue the list. In order to do this, simply move the cursor to the end of the list and press Enter or Return. This action should result in a new line item being created with a corresponding bullet or number beside it.
CS5 was released in April 2010. Along with a number of enhancements to existing functionality, Illustrator CS5's new features include a Perspective Grid tool taken from FreeHand, a Bristle Brush (for more natural and painterly looking strokes) and a comprehensive update to strokes, referred to by Adobe as "Beautiful Strokes".
You have to make the number like 1 only so high as the letter x. And you need to use the guidelines baseline, ascender and descender. Also use the 70 % dummy to get the right font size.

From the site;
"This panel arose from a need to reduce the number of steps involved in generating g-code for machines that I create to reproduce drawings made on my computer using various techniques. All of the drawings get the finishing touches in Adobe Illustrator, but unfortunately, there was no way to export g-code from Illustrator. I always had to go through the added step of opening a program called Inkscape with the sole purpose of generating the g-code which my machines understand.
