  1. Exporting a batch of artboards as SVG results in wrong files

    I'm exporting multiple artboards as SVG using ⌘⌥E command and while artboard names are correct and the window previews are also fine I realized the exported files are wrong. The names are right but the content is not matching with the corresponding artboard. I'm on Illustrator 28.5 and the file has 28 artboards

  2. Image resolution differs depending on image orientation

    When placing an image in Illustrator, the image format is HEIC, and in portrait mode or landscape: The landscape picture shows the amount of ppi as 1 logical number. The portrait mode picture shows 2 numbers for ppi, and they are totally different.

  4. Character line height has to be entered twice before it changes

    If I ever want to manually enter a specific line height for text, the first time I type it in and hit "enter" it automatically reverts back to auto (or whatever it was previously). I have to open the character panel again and do it a second time for it to actually change. This has been the case for awhile and makes no sense!

  6. 生成されるグラデーションはグラデーションではない

    2024年前半頃に作成したデータについて解説します。
    グラデーションツールで単色（特色濃度100％）から透明（特色濃度0％）になるグラデーションです。（A参照）黒の矢印で指し示している部分までは均等に濃度100％が入るはずなのですが、データ上でもよく見ると黒の矢印で指し示している位置の前後が濃い色になっているのがわかるでしょうか。このデータを最終、印刷（印刷業者に依頼）まで進めて商品をお客様に納品したところ、納品先の顧客からクレームが入りました。納品された商品を見るとAの写真で示したように黒の矢印周辺が一番色味が濃く出ており（筋が入ったような状態）本来矢印より下の部分も全く同じ色（濃度100％）で出るべきところが薄くなっているんです。（参照B）
    しかも濃度100％より上の部分がすごく汚いムラのあるグラデーションになっています。
    私自身、DTP業界で20年以上仕事をしていますが、年々イラレの品質低下が著しいことを恐らく長年愛用されている方ほどお気づきかと思います。
    20年程前もグラデーションツールで作成したグラデーションをフィルム印刷するとグラデーションの段階がまるで階段のように縞々にでたことを思い出しますが、その解決方法として使用していたのがブレンドツールという強い味方。ステップ数を細かすぎるというくらいに細かい設定にすることでスムースなグラデーションを再現できます。
    が、しかし。
    今回の件で次回の印刷に向けて解決策を講じようとブレンドツールで同じグラデーションを作成したものの、いくらステップ数を増やそうとも、なめらかなグラデーションにならないのです。（C参照）
    そしてcの画像を見て観察眼の鋭い方ならお気づきかと思いますが、
    テップ数50のところを見て気づきませんか。一段一段のステップがグラデーション表現されており、そのグラデーションがまさに上に向かってゆくにつれて濃く表現されていることを。
    本来であればもちろん一段一段のステップが同じ均一の色味になるので絶対にこういう表現になるはずがないですよね。
    グラデーション表現の不具合と同じことが、このブレンドツールに於いても起こっています。

    今回実際に商品としてお客様に納品しており、このグラデーションの不具合が原因で金銭的損失を被りました。
    グラデーションツールに問題があった時の回避策としてブレンドツールを使っていたのに、それも使い物にならないとなったら、この手のデザインは使えなくなります。
    深刻に受け止めていただきたいですし、細部にまで注意を払って改善していただきたいです。

  7. 3D Extrude & Bevel

    I've been working with some of my previous design clients and noticed that when I add the extrude and bevel to a rectangle shape and I choose the draw hidden faces function it just don't show up when I do the expand appearance. I tried to edit by going back to the appearance panel and deactivate and then reactivate it then it worked. Has anyone got this before or it's only me ?

  9. White random lines get displayed while working with placed images

    Good day. I've stumbled upon a visual bugs in Adobe for quite a time now. I've really thought that the sole reason was my old MacBook and although It got me angry at some point I knew I did not had the best hardware so I was in no situation of asking a bug fix. Now, I'm using the ARM MacBook with M chip, so you can say I'm having somewhat the latest hardware. Still the visual bug appears super often and I'm becoming frustrated about it.

    Basically I Illustrator shows me cut lines and borders, which are not really…

  11. Hands-on Tutorials steps images gone

    Illustrator 28.5, on a Mac. The step-by-step images in the hands-on tutorials are gone, at least in the Branding and Identity Practice ones. You can't follow along and create something "as shown" if it's not shown! Please put the images back in these tutorials where they indicate to do it like in the (invisible) image, they were very helpful. It's not really possible to do the steps if you don't know what you're supposed to be doing.

  12. Copying elements undos artwork name changes

    Copying an element (regardless of what it is) will cause one of the artboards to change it's name.

    There doesn't seem to be an logic to which artboard gets changed. In one file with 30+ artboards the it was somewhere in the middle.

    The files are created using this template file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nzcO96j5o6T1Vanunp3_AF2Iq6wqefHs/view?usp=sharing

  14. Windows 11 Professional, Adobe Illustrator 28.5 64bit

    Bei der mehrfachen Verknüpfung eines Bildes in einem Dokument war es bisher möglich, wenn man das Bild aus dem Ordner in z.B. einen Ordner erledigt geschoben hat, auf alle anwenden einzustellen und man musste nur 1 x ein neues Bild aussuchen und verknüpfen und alle weiterenb gleichen Bilder im Dokument wurden automatisch getauscht. Das Fubktioniert leider nicht mehr.

  15. フォントのアウトラインを取ると中が塗りつぶされる

    あるフォント（DFP中太丸ゴシック）の「管理部　部長」をアウトライン化すると「部」の文字の一部が塗りつぶされる。添付参照。
    他のフォントや文字では発生しない（自分が調べた限りです）
    現象はwindows版のイラレでのみおこり、同じファイルをMacのイラレで開いても起こりません。

    win10/イラストレーター28.5

    ※イラレCS2でも起きませんでした

  16. Bug - Blank Workspace

    When I open an AI file there seems to be a 80/20 chance that it will not display properly. As the file is opening I can see everything but the moment it's fully loaded the workspace goes completely blank (gray without an artboard). I can still see toolbars and can move around the workspace. I can even select all and delete unseen assets but I can't draw new ones.

    I have to close and reopen the file multiple times until it happens to show up. I've already tried:
    • Resetting Preferences
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator
    • Renaming the UXP/other…

  19. Text gets launched into the ether

    When moving text in any sort of way (keyboard, click and drag), it would completely disappear from the artboard and launch itself either to the top left corner of the boundary or way outside to the light grey area. Screenshot of the latter is attached. The text outline/boundary box shows up where it is supposed to be on the artboard, but it is untouchable and out of bounds.

    Copying and pasting the text seems to have temporality fixed the issue. It's not the biggest problem, just kind of funny and a little annoying after the 5th time.

  20. Dimension tool doesn't measure correctly

    So, I went to measure a dieline with the Dimension tool and it measured 9". However, when i selected the dieline and went to the Properties it said it was 8.5". When I actually printed it out and measured it, it was 8.5". This tool is not working correctly. See attached images for further explanation/verification.

    Maybe I am doing something wrong? Can't figure out what that would be though. Thank you for looking into this!

    AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The problem was in the '0' picked as the Precision value in Dimension Tool Options instead of default '0.00'. If you have this value changed by itself, without you ever changing it manually — please comment.
