  1. pen tablet skipping brush strokes works fine in photoshop but not illustrator

    I have Illustrator 2022 and Illustrator 2020 and it skips strokes some times with both versions. It shows a circle that represents the brush where I start the stroke and it also shows the brush symbol that is moving with the pen tip. The circle that represents the brush stays where I start the stroke until I finish the stroke and lift the pen, then the circle that represents the brush goes away, while the brush symbol is moving with my stroke but no stroke is being drawn. The brush strokes in Photoshop are fine, they do not skip strokes…

    I can draw a line on my rough draft in a .ai file, but can't use the brush tool. It shows the O with a / "forbidden" symbol (not available).

  3. Not Responding. Crashing when I go to make a pattern

    Operating system: Windows 10
    Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz
    31.85GB RAM

    Currently in the process of creating a 40cm x 40cm all over surface pattern design print. So far everything has been fine. My total file size is 435mb.

    When I select my imagery ready to turn in to Object > Pattern > Make
    Illustrator decides that it can't process this, freezes and crashes.
    I am on the most up to date versions of Illustrator and drivers for my RAM.
    I have also tried simplifying my pathways to no avail.

    Does anyone else know…

  4. Preview of color selections (AI 26.0.2)

    I am from Release of Illustrator, which the preview of color selections, if activated, does not allow me to enlarge over 1200%, because the screen becomes all gray. I tried in preferences> performance to activate and deactivate the GPU, without any change. I tried to trash all the preferences, without any change. I tried to uninstall Illustrator, without any change.

    [Sono da diversione release di illustrator, che l'Anteprima di selezioni colori, se attivata, non mi permette di ingrandire oltre il 1200%, perchè lo schermo diventa tutto di colore grigio.

  5. Illustrator v26.1 - save file after assigned color profile does not work

    When opening an illustrator file created under a previous version of illustrator that was saved and/or created without a color profile assigned (not color managed), with color settings set to inform/warn the user of the missing profile, assigning the profile at file open when the prompt is displayed or clicking OK with "leave as is (don't color manage)" selected and then selecting edit > assign profile and assigning a color profile...

  6. Missing Glyphs on PDF export in Illustrator v26.1

    When exporting a document using Lora font (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lora), the colon character changes to a strange symbol.

    It's the same issue that was happening in Indesign (and was fixed on February)
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/44385984-missing-glyphs-on-pdf-export-in-indesign-v17-0

    Info:
    Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (latest updates until yesterday)
    Illustrator v26.1 (64bit)

    A friend in MacOs tested exact the same file (latest OS and AI) and no problem on exportation.

    I think it's affecting only windows users!
    Sorry my bad english.

  8. Illustrator 26.1 not saving changes to files. Serious bug.

    Mac OS Monterey, 2020 Macbook Pro. My files are saved to a local Dropbox folder, which has never been an issue in the past. I made changes to a file, changing strokes with manually added arrowheads to strokes with arrowheads. I saved the file and closed it. When I reopened the file, no changes had been saved. I recreated the changes, and did a save as with a new file name, and the changes were saved. I went back and tried adding the changes to the original file, and it confirmed that AI 26.1 is not saving changes to files.…

  10. 禁則処理が反映されない、トラッキングの数値が変わる

    macOS Mojave バージョン10.14.6

    ・テキストボックスを使用して文字組みの作業をしていました。
    ・保存後に再度開くと文字送り位置が勝手に変わっている現象が発生。
     」←閉じ括弧が行頭に来ていたました。
    ・禁則処理は「強い禁則」に設定していた&行頭禁則文字に同記号を設定していたのに適用されませんでした。
    ・トラッキングを-5→0に設定して文字送りを調整して保存しましたが、再度開くとまたトラッキングは-5に戻り」←閉じ括弧が行頭にある状態に。
    ・トラッキングを今度は5〜10にして文字送りを調整し保存。再度開いたら正しい状態で保存されていました。

    以上ご報告になります。
    よろしくお願い致します。

    The simple act of moving a group object is not working in the Apple Silicon version. Just clicking on it distorts it beyond usuable recognition. Video if action attached.

  12. Illustrator brushes disappearing

    I have existing brushes I made in Illustrator that I have used for over ten years. Suddenly today they are disappearing in my files. I've rebooted and re-set the brush. I am using a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019, OS Monterey 12.2.1, Illustrator 26.0.3. Ever since the last big update for Mac I've been having a lot of problems in Illustrator. Please help!

  15. Brush pressure sensitivity unavailable - Huion HS611 (MacOS Monterey 12.2.1)

    Option to use the calligraphy brush with pressure sensitivity appears to be greyed out, but all drivers are correctly installed and it works perfectly with Photoshop. Have tried most of the recommendations from the adobe forum but the issue persists.

  16. Cannot open AI or EPS files just exported from AI

    I'm trying to export some vector files from AI, which I've done countless times before and had no problems...

    Right now when I save the file as AI and EPS, it shows up in my saved folder as a blank file. When I open the properties from it's saved folder it still shows as AI, however I'm not able to open it with AI or any other applications.

    I'm stumped and don't know what I can do next.

  17. Text Frame loses UID when moved along with compound path art in a different layer

    OS: Windows 10 Pro
    Illustrator 2022

    Steps to reproduce issue:
    Create a text frame and a compound path art in different layers
    Add UID to textframe using SDK
    Select both textframe and path art together, then move them
    Text frame loses UID, so we cannot get text frame using UID anymore
    This happens even if we saved the file after adding uid, closed and re-opened it

  20. 대지 복사

    일러스트레이터에서 대지복사기능을 이용해서 연결동작을 그리고있는데 가로로 대지복사했을때는 가로로 한픽셀씩 흔들림이 생기고 세로로복사했을때는 세로로 한픽셀씩 흔들림이 생깁니다 저는 alt로 대지복사를 했고, 상담원님을 통해 alt로 복사하지말고 ctrl+c, ctrl+v를 이용해서 그려보는것을 제안받았고 ctrl+c,ctrl+v를 이용했을때 픽셀이 흔들리는 문제는 해결되었지만 alt로 복사시에는 여전히 픽셀의 흔들림이 있습니다.
