  3. file>export>export as... still lists Flash as an option

    How long ago was Flash rebranded to Animate? Five years now?

    The "Flash (SWF)" option in the Export As... dialogue should be "Animate (SWF)".

  4. Measurements are not working correctly

    If you want to make a new path with 100mm x 100 mm in dimensions and and do that via the transform palette then the path shows an incorrect size (100,013 mm x 100,009 mm) but only if the path has an outline. If there is just a colour filling then the measurement is correct.
    That should be corrected quickly.

    OS X 10.15.6, Illustrator 24.2.3

  6. レイヤの表示状態を保存するカスタム表示の機能向上

    カスタム表示を一度設定したあとに、レイヤを追加したり分けたりすることが多々あります。その都度、一度「表示の編集」から削除して「新規表示」に追加しなければならず、手間がかかります。AutoCADにも同じようにレイヤの表示状態を保存する機能がありますが、あちらは一度設定したあとでも表示状態を変更して同名で保存すれば上書きができますし、名前をつけた設定ごとに表示状態の編集もできます。大変便利です。
    ここまで出来なくとも良いので、せめて同名で保存した場合の上書き機能を付けてほしいです。

  12. Crop command embedding linked images

    I would be thankful if linked images remain linked (instead of being embedded after using the crop command). I would like to believe that this can be made possible. This is the normal behaviour in other graphic design software.

    How important is this to you?

    If you want to keep a cropped image as a live linked image, you should Clip it instead. Press the Mask button (in Control or Properties panel) and Ai will create and select a rectangular path with the same dimensions. Transform this path with any tool you like or with the bounding box, and the image inside will remain unembedded.


    Crop command, on the other hand, is intended specifically for 'physical' cropping, and since Ai won’t edit the original placed image, it gets embedded and then cropped.


    Just use the method you need.

    Please comment back if it works for you.

  13. Update linked assets for large number of files

    I have an asset in CC Libraries that I used in 50+ ai files. Those ai files are then used in a layout in InDesign. If i change the asset in CC Libraries I would like a way to force an update of that asset to all those AI files so that the update propagates through to my InDesign layout.

  14. Intuitive drawing: "Pencil tool" in mode adding "Blob brush tool"

    Hi,
    I would like to be able to draw, draw and model using the Pencil Tool in edit mode like the "Blob brush tool".
    Eg.
    1 • Pencil Tool. I draw any shape.
    2 • I mark this shape and draw another one
    3 • The effect is the automatic joining of these shapes into one summary.

    Such a simple, fast and intuitive way to draw ketor shapes for the cartoonist.

    Attention.
    • Drawing with the "Blob brush tool" is a different shape effect without sharp lines. Eg saw. E.g. lasts or coat or hair cartoons.
    • drawing many objects…

  15. Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.

    The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.

    If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.

    I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

  17. Sell a 2 pick your own software Adobe bundle.

    I find the adobe suite to be too expensive, specially since I only use Pshop and Illustrator. But getting them individually is also too expensive. Would be awesome if Adobe provided us with a bundle for like 25 bucks where we could pick any two adobe programs if its the 20 dollar ones or 15 if its the 9.99 ones.

  20. ワークスペースに記憶されるスウォッチ

    ワークスペースの機能をとても気に入っています。作業をしていてどんなにパネルをごちゃごちゃにしても、一発ですっきりと自分のお気に入りの環境に戻せるからです。

    しかし、残念なことがひとつあります。

    私は、よく使う色を、aiにまとめてスウォッチを作っています。
    そのスウォッチを読み込んで、そのパネルを、ワークスペース内の他のパネルとくっつけて、私の理想的なワークスペースをいくつか作りました。それに名前をつけて保存しておきました。

    ところが、Illustratorを再起動すると、ワークスペースから自作のスウォッチのパネルだけが無くなってしまいます。他のパネルの配置や状態は変わらないのですが、自作のスウォッチの状態だけは記憶されていないようです。

    ところが不思議なことに、新たにワークスペースを作って、Illustratorを終了するまでの間は、自作のスウォッチも含めて記憶されているように見受けられます。パネルの配置を変えてしまってから、「ウインドウ > ワークスペース」で保存したワークスペースのリセットを行うと、自作のスウォッチも含めて、元の状態に戻ります。

    ああ、素晴らしい。快適だなあと思うのですが..
    次にIllustratorを起動したときには自作のスォッチのパネルだけ忘れられているのです。とても惜しい。もうちょっとで完璧なのに!
