I am working on a 2017 iMac pro with an 18 core Intel Xeon W processor, 128 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory and a Radeon Pro Vega 64 GPU (16 GB memory). I just (November 5, 2019) updated to AI 2020 and everything is significantly slower than the last version of AI 2019 (yes, GPU enhancement settings are on). I purchased AI CS because it had the GPU enhancement and it was 64-bit allowing me to work with the rather large vector images produced during my data analysis from spacecraft. However, this slow down is like going back to AI CS 5. What changed/went wrong in the new AI 2020 that caused such a drastic change in performance? AI 2019 was fast and great but something broke in 2020 making everything (saving, dynamic manipulations, etc.) much slower.

Hello Everyone, I am using Illustrator 25.0.1 version which I updated recently from 25.0, 2021 version. During work I have noticed a small problem in Layers option. First when I copy some artwork from one file which is SPLIT in different LAYERS to another file it does not give me the same SPLIT layers in the new file but put it only in one layer instead.
Second : If I have given a name to some layer of the Artwork suppose Layer A when I paste the same in new file or another file it does not give me the new layer as Layer A but puts it in the top most layer of the new file.
This may be a small problem for common users of illustrator but for people who have to work in packaging design like me it is a trouble. Can anyone help me for understanding or rectifying the problem for this new version 25.0.1.

I have a new iMac 27" 2020 and just learned, to my disappointment, that my graphics card is not supported. I have an AMD Radeon Pro 5700, I think the standard for the new iMac is a Radeon Pro 5500 XT (which is also not supported).
This causes Illustrator to crash at least once or twice a day with a GPU Error report and it then automatically deactivates GPU Performance, which makes Illustrator super slow and laggy.
I know the iMac 2020 is very new, but since more people will be getting it over time it seems reasonable to support those graphic cards.
Thanks.

Dear Adobe, upon using the software for some years now I have got the impression of the software being related to illness, us being ill and traitor (although spelt a bit differently). So it's like 'ill' 'us' 'trator'.

I know it might sound quite out there but there could be some reasoning to it. I for one have experienced some illness since using it (not to say the program is at fault) and an impression gets made and then I'm more cautious to use the program. The words 'ill us trator' come to mind many times and sometimes in this world we utilise things and they could be sending us a message visually, communicating to the user(s) and in this case it might be so.

A name change might seem drastic but it could be revolutionary in attracting users more then ever, improving and if the current name is related to us illness and trator (traitor) somehow, then using this reasoning may well get support from the wider community and an improved name would be welcome and healthy.

With Regards

GPU performance should improve efficiency when drawing complex objects, but the behavior has been delayed since CC 2018 (version 22).

The file created in CC 2015.3 (version 20) is test sample.
If you select a created object and move it with the mouse, the result will be completely different.

2015.3 / 2017: Drawing delay does not occur when GPU performance is ON
2018 / 2019 / 2020: GPU performance ON causes drawing delay, OFF is faster

The confirmed environment is Windows 10 1909 + Intel Core i7-6700HQ + GeForce GTX 950M.
In addition, although it is another data, the delay has been confirmed in Windows 10 1909 + Intel i5-8300H + GeForce GTX 1050.
Therefore, it is not considered to be due to the environment or data.

Title : GPUパフォーマンスが適正に働いていない

複雑なオブジェクトの描画ではGPUパフォーマンスによる効率向上が図れるはずですが、CC 2018（バージョン22）以降は動作が遅延するようになっています。

サンプルとしてCC 2015.3（バージョン20）で作成したファイルを用意しました。
作成されているオブジェクトを選択し、マウスで移動させた場合の結果がまるで異なります。

2015.3/2017：GPUパフォーマンスONの状態で描画の遅延は発生しない
2018/2019/2020：GPUパフォーマンスONでも描画の遅延が発生し、OFFのほうが速い

確認した環境はWindows 10 1909+Intel Core i7-6700HQ+GeForce GTX 950Mです。
また別データですが、Windows 10 1909+Intel i5-8300H+GeForce GTX 1050でも遅延は確認しています。
よって環境やデータ固有によるものではないと考えます。

Hi,

I am using Illustrator on a new MacbookPro with M1 apple silicon.

While using the software it often starts to randomly freeze and after a few minutes everything works again.

Sometimes the whole mac is frozen for several minutes and Illustrator crashes completely.

Not seeing anyone eelse reporting the problem und no issue desiriped my adobe on the M1 side I was wondering what could be the reason for this problem.

We ask the professional team of Illustrator to fix this bug immediately.

If it is possible for someone from Illustrator Team to send an appropriate response.

Thank you!
