  1. Free transform not scaling correctly

    When scaling a stroke with Free Transform it jumps to a ~30º angle (pics attached). this happens without holding Shift etc. All I want to do is extend the stroke.

    Smart Guides is turned on, I've tried turning off/on Bounding Box (no luck) and turned off "Enable Content Aware Defaults" in prefs.

    I'm on MacOS HIgh Sierra with CC 2019. I've never experienced this before

  2. Dégradé de forme libre / Freeform Lines / bug

    Bonjour, j'utilise le nouvelle outil dégradé de forme libre avec plaisir. Cependant, je rencontre un problème récurrent : lorsque je sélectionne un objet contenant un dégradé de forme libre contenant 4 points et 2 couleurs, l'un des points disparait systématiquement. J'ai vérifié si l'un des points étaient en dehors de l'objet, ce n'est pas le cas. Je rencontre ce problème sur plusieurs objet, dans des documents différents. Est-ce un bug ? Avez-vous une solution à ce problème ? Merci

  3. Blob Brush Crash Problem

    I'm using Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows 10, Ram 8GB, processor intel i5, 2.40GHz.

    Illustrator CC 23.0.2
    When I use Blob Brush with a size set to variate depending on pressure, Illustrator crashes all the time. It's not a heavy file, I'm working on really simple illustrations. I have just updated to the newest version but the problem persists. Any ideas whether the fault is in Illustrator or my machine just can't handle a simple blob brush?

  4. ALIGN PIXELS IS DRIVING THIS PATTERN DESIGNER CRAZY!

    ALIGN PIXELS IS DRIVING THIS PATTERN DESIGNER CRAZY! Look, some of us use inches. I create precise repeat patterns and they MUST align the way I decide to align them! It's that simple. I've attempted to turn off ALIGN PIXELS and every time I close and start Ai again it resets to its default. When I enter a number, dammit,, it needs to stay the number I entered. I'm the boss here,, not Illustrator! Please give us a permanent fix to turning off for good this default I will NEVER use.

  5. Illustrator cc2019(v23.0) テキストをアウトライン化すると元の位置からズレる

    テキストを効果→パスの変形→変形で回転したものを、アウトライン化すると元の位置からズレます。フォントのサイズが大きいほどズレが大きいようです。
    印刷会社へ入稿する際や、納品する場合も必ずアウトライン化したファイルを作成するので、このズレは致命的です。
    早急に改善していただきたいです。

  6. Sync with Adobe Draw

    I am new to using Adobe Draw and sending the vectors direct to Illustrator.

    Draw has a simple one click feature to send a vector to AI. Except that it doesn't work quite as it should. The project gets stuck in the cloud, I can see any drawing I create then send 'direct' in my Adobe.com assets > mobile creations. It doesn't push through to AI, which I have open while I'm working in Draw.

    I have been through the support team, and have been advised the only solution is to send all my drawings through, then restart both devices,…

  7. Pen tool located in type tools

    Took me a while to find but found the pen tool hanging out with the type tools. Please stop fixing things that are not broken. I remember before CC things works pretty well. Now every time there's an update, some other bugs pop up that weren't there before. Is this just a way for engineer job security? Well whatever it is, its becoming a major pain.

    Hi,

    There was an issue in 23.0 causing tools to shift between groups. This has been fixed in latest update (23.0.2). After update, please reset the Basic and Advanced toolbars by opening the tool drawer (3 dots at bottom of the tool bar), then using ‘Reset’ from the fly-out menu (on top right).

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

    With Best Regards,
    Raghuveer Singh

  8. Rotate tool repeatable bug,

    Copy by Rotate Tool, Repeatable Bug

  9. Illustrator loses focus after editing in group

    When a group is double clicked to edit inside (isolation mode), on leaving isolation mode the Illustrator application loses focus and clicking on any tool has no effect. To regain focus the icon in the Windows Taskbar has to be clicked.

  10. Brush Cursor - Art Pen Rotation

    I'll have someone describe the issue from 2010. 9 years later this issue still persists. I am having the exact same issue but instead of it not working in Photoshop (which is works perfectly fine in) I am having this issue in Illustrator.

    "Hi !

    Today I downloaded the trial of PS CS5.

    I think its a really great step for digital painting and I love
    the new bristle and mixer brushes-

    But one thing really disappointed me. I´m using a Wacom Art Pen to control
    the angle of the brushes by the rotation of the pen.
    When I first…

  11. path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler

    Path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler in CC, in previous versions you could quickly line up a guide to the centre of a box now you have to zoom out to see the centre. Another feature that worked great in previous versions now lost.

  16. Stylus pen

    Illustrator Cc2019 crashes when using Lenovo Yoga Surface pen in a Touch mode.
    The surface pen is drawing in both Pen and Pencil tools but Illustrator crushes after a minute or two without an option of reporting.
    It takes 7/8 file openings to finish a tracing illustration.

  19. Tools not snapping or showing blue line path or anchor points

    The Pen and Direct Tool are not snapping or showing the blue line path when drawing with the tools (Pen tool, Curvature tool, Direct Selection Tool) I have googled forums to see what the issue and it seems to be something that happens when the software is updated every so often or something like that, and shortly before I encountered this issue about 10 minutes ago my software got an update... please fix this :(
