Lets say, you have 10 files open when you are working in illustrator. You take a break and come back, and open another instance of the same file say, X (you forgot you have X already open). It does give you a message, that 'the file is already open, do you want to reopen' etc., but you are quick these days to click ok on any dialog box, rather than reading what the message was. Now, you have two instances of the same file open in the same window. This leads to multiple complications:
1. You save one version. Take a break, come back and find another version. You see it does not have the latest changes, leading to confusion and overwork.
2. You save the latest file to close it. Then as you are closing the files, you reach the earlier file, which is an earlier version. Now to close you have to save, and the moment you save, you have overwritten the latest file with a previous version.

To avoid this, if multiple version of the same file are open on the same computer, please give an error message -
' A file by the same name is already open - last revised at DD/MM HH:MM. Saving this file will overwrite this file.'
Or 'Switch to the other file to close that file'.
Etc.
This is a menace that can be avoided. I would suggest the same file not be open in the same computer with multiple versions.

Hi, it would be such an improvement in usability if a masked image was only selectable within the mask shape. Currently the entire image is still 'active' and when you click any part of it inside or outside the mask it can be selected. This means when you have multiple masked images close to each other (especially when a tight crop is used, meaning a larger part of the image is hidden but selectable) there are overlaps of images that require locking of individual images or reordering of arrangement to put images in front or behind one another just to select the element you want. Masked images are simple to use in InDesign because they limit selection to the mask shape, with the option of then selecting the entire image if want to move or resize it within the mask. In fact, the entire way masks are handled in InDesign is superior as it doesn't require locking and unlocking the mask in order to resize or move the masked image within it.

Any artboards created larger than 227 x 227 inches are changed to a large canvas setting, which adds a scale factor to the canvas. So Illustrator will say a document that is 300 x 300 is actually 30 x 30 and just scaled by 1/10 of the size. This setting causes issues with my printer software where it reads it as a 30 x 30 and not the true size, it is disregarding the scale factor. I have to take these files and chop them up into smaller panels to print them. When I chop them up it is still keeping that scale factor on the canvas when saving them as pdf, even if the canvas size is smaller than 227 x 227. The only work around I found is to take the large canvas and chop everything up in there then copy and paste it into a completely new document at the smaller panel size as a normal canvas setting and not the large canvas setting. I want the ability to toggle off the scaling feature when saving as a PDF so that when I go to print them on my printer it doesn't read the scaling incorrectly and just reads the actual canvas size. I feel like it could be added in the PDF save settings as a checkbox saying something like "Disregard Large Canvas Scaling" or something.

Also I want the ability to easily tell if something has been created in the large canvas setting, currently there isn't an easy way to tell if it has been created. Sometimes designers send me something that is less than 227 x 227 so I think it is a normal canvas and when I go to print I find out it was designed as a large canvas and then sized down so it still has a scaling factor put on the artwork.

Hello, I have been using Adobe Draw for 4 years until January 10.2022. I am extremely disappointed with its closure and its replacement with Fresco, which is not even available for Android users.
Over 4 years of work, everything is ruined because my projects are saved as JPEG and the function to download as PNG does not work
I searched for thousands of applications, none of them is the same as Adobe Draw or at least a little closer to it. Millions of people in Bulgaria used it for various purposes and after closing it you broke everything
I beg you for his REVIVAL was extremely comfortable pleasantly easy and unique you just broke every drop of my stimulus for these years leave my work it is not important but all my desire all my longing all is lost

My Illustrator 2020 / 24.6 was crashing on startup, so i decided to delete and reinstall it.
Now i can't find on Creative Cloud the same version (2020/ 24.6) to download.
I've been informed by customer service that Adobe no longer provides previous versions of the apps. I never received any information that the company would no longer provide the older versions and now I can't reinstall the version I had on my computer. My OS doesn't support updates anymore so I can't install the latest versions of Illustrator. Customer service only provides base version 24.0 for offline installation and I can no longer update to version 24.6. An absurd, as I'm paying to have what I can have in the conditions of my equipment. EVEN SO THE VERSION OFFERED BY YOU HAS A BUG IN THE FIRST INTERFACE (start working page), AS YOU CAN VERIFY IN THE ATTACHED IMAGE.
I think this Adobe policy of not making old versions available will make customers like me migrate to pirated apps!!!! Great Adobe!!
