  1. SVG import/export destroys details for SVG-files generated by Inkscape

    Whenever I open a SVG-file in Illustrator that was generated by Inkscape, very frequently details are destroyed. A message appears stating that "round-way to tiny" may have exactly done this.
    This bug makes it impossible to collaboratively work on figures with colleagues that do not use Illustrator, but Inkscape instead.

    I am using Illustrator CC 22.1.

  2. Locked files on SMB shares (macOS)

    There is a weird file-locking problem when files are opened and saved from/to smb volumes mounted on macOS. If files are saved and closed there is still a locking on the files. So colegues are not able to delete/replace this files. There is no problem if the afp-protocol is used. For this reason we had to disable smb-sharing on our server, because macOS uses smb as default if available. (Illustrator 21.1.0 - but at least from version 19 on)

  3. Area and perimeter information on every selected object

    Area and perimeter information on every selected object.
    It was available on CS3 version for exemple and it was very helpful for us architects.
    The window was called CAD tracker and the geometry part was super practical.
    Please, include it in the new version !!

    The team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

    If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

  4. 線の塗りを設定しているオブジェクトがマスクされてしまう

    macOS14.7.2

    Illustrator29以降にアップデートしてから現れたバグです。（現在29.2.1）線の塗りを有効にしているオブジェクトを下位バージョンへコピー＆ペーストするとマスクされた状態になってしまいます。マスクを解除すれば戻りますが、オブジェクトが複数あるものはグループが解除されてしまいます。
    ご対応頂けると助かります。

  6. dropbox syncing

    When I open/save through the native Illustrator dialogue boxes, files that I have in my dropbox folders begin to download for no reason. I use SmartSync to keep my HD space optimized and this little glitch makes that impossible.
