Add an option for the Transform effect to use visible bounds of a clipping object
Transform effect is one of the most powerful thing Ai has, compared to whole Repeats functionality. It’s versatile, it works with anything (unlike Repeats).
It has some flaws though, and one of them is the fact it always operates on the overall bounds of the objects, even if it is clipped. It can be useful for some cases, but most of the time we treat objects differently.
Check the image attached.
This combination of effect options applied to a clipped ellipse should produce a result like the green one at thee right... instead, the object is reflected from the right…15 votes -
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 ?

Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs
If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.
It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.
Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.
Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

Zig Zag applied to an art brush is glitchy.
A simple art brush made of several parallel rectangles has unexpected results when the Zig Zag effect is applied with smooth curves instead of sharp angles. Changing the number of stripes and/or the number of zigs alters the errors. Some of them are kind of pretty but I think I'd rather just see this working as expected.
I reproduced this on an M2 Mac running Illustrator 27.8.1, in both CPU and GPU rendering modes. I'm not sure what the person who originally observed this and got me investigating was using.

Popups in the Appearance palette often lock up Illustrator.
Lately whenever I summon a popup in the Appearance palette, I will often find that Illustrator locks up with a spinning rainbow pinwheel. I have waited a while for it to return and it never does; I now consider this a cue to restart Illustrator and hope I saved recently, or that I got lucky with the crash recovery.
The two popups I get it with more often are the stroke/fill color, and the stroke. I've included screenshots of both to make it more obvious where to fool around. Next time this happens I'll come provide a file that does…

Photoshopフィルターの設定情報がPhotoshopのアンインストールの影響を受ける
テクスチャライザー等のPhotoshop効果系のフィルタープラグインのカスタム設定（例：テクスチャライザーのカスタムテクスチャ設定）がPhotoshopをアンインストールすることにより初期化されてしまう。
macOS11.6.8/Windows10
ver.23〜（恐らく機能実装時から変わっていない）ver.26での例（PhotoshopCC2022がインストールしている状態）
１．ドキュメント上に任意のオブジェクトを作成。
２．効果→テクスチャ→テクスチャライザー…を選択しユーザーインターフェースを開く。
３．テクスチャ選択ドロップダウン横からサブメニューにてカスタムテクスチャを選択する。
４．OKをクリックしカスタムテクスチャを適用する。
５．カスタムテクスチャ設定情報が保存され、Illustratorを再起動してもカスタムテクスチャは有効のままになる。
６．PhotoshopCC2022を環境設定もろともアンインストールする。
７．Illustratorで前述の1〜２の手順にてテクスチャライザーのユーザーインターフェースを開くとテクスチャ選択ドロップダウンからカスタムテクスチャが消えている。現状
Photoshopをアンインストールするとテクスチャライザーのユーザーインターフェースからカスタムテクスチャが消える。期待する挙動
PhotohopをアンインストールしてもIllustrator上のいかなる設定情報も失われない。このPhotoshop効果系のフィルターの設定情報はVer.26及びver.27では「~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings（Windowsはユーザーディレクトリ配下のAppData/Roaming/Adobe〜）」フォルダの「Adobe 効果 CS6 Prefs」と「Adobe テクスチャライザー CS6 Prefs」に保存されます。
このフォルダはPhotoshopの環境設定フォルダの為、Photoshopのインストール・アンインストールに影響を受けます。
不用意な設定喪失を防ぐ意味においても「Adobe Illustrator <VERSION_NUM> Settings」に保存するように変更するのが理想だと考えます。
PhotoshopをアンインストールすることでIllustratorに影響を及ぼすのは問題だと思います。19 votes -
Exporting layered PSDs = Error 2393
Illustrator 27.8.1 64-bit
OS: Windows 10Exporting AI to layered PSD fails, regardless of DPI or whether artboard exporting is enabled. Flattened PSD export still works. This process ultimately locks up and completely crashes Illustrator.
Steps: File -> Export -> Export as...
Attempting the process with a third party export script also locks up Illustrator.

3D Crashing
I have used 3D materials on my ASUS TUF Dash FTS for over a year with no prior issues. Last night, upon updating to version 28.1, every time I even click on the 3D materials menu within the window tab, it immediately stops responding and crashes. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled, reset preferences, cleaned up creative cloud, deleted almost everything on my computer and freed up an additional 100 GB of space (I have 600GB of space total), I have gotten rid of every plugin. I am just at a complete loss because I can now not complete assignments because even…

Error al procesar la apariencia de objeto al momento de aplicar el efecto 3D
Al momento de aplicar el efecto 3D a un objeto, me aparece "error al procesar la apariencia de objeto". Ya intenté volver a instalar Illustrator y otras sugerencias, pero el error persiste. Aclaro que antes si me funcionaba, y de un momento a otro dejó de hacerlo.

Problems with Photoshop Effects
Lately, everytime I try turning a vectored shape (after I gave it a gradient mesh) with no stroke, I constantly keep getting stray white pixels inside the stroke that seem to trace the stroke. I'm trying to make a quality illustration, but these pixels are keeping me from doing that. Thank you!

Blend Modes are Broken in Illustrator 27.8.1 and also in After Effects 23.6.0
Hello - I updated all my creative cloud stuff yesterday and blend modes don't work in Illustrator 27.8.1 and also in After Effects 23.6.0
I opened after effects 22.6.5 and that works as it's supposed to.
1 voteWhite canvas in Illustrator is actually transparent. Some blend modes require solid color underneath to make proper calculations, so get it rendered correctly, put something white in background (or filled with any other color).

Bad rendering of glow effect
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 10.0.19045 Build 19045
Adobe Illustrator: 28.1 (64-bit)Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Create a blank Illustrator document.
- Create a new shape, such as a white circle with no stroke. The white circle on the white background is invisible.
- Add an outer glow effect to the circle, e.g.: Color: black (#000000), Normal mode, 20% Opacity, 3px Blur.
=> The white circle on white background will be almost invisible, despite the black glow, which is very, very faint.- Export the artwork to PDF.
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat : the white circle is…

Classic 3D transformations not working
Classic 3D Transforms are working but acting weird. I created a square and tried to do a classic 3D Isometric Top Transform and it kind of worked, but it was as though it was missing a big triangle out of the front corner. I expanded the object thinking that perhaps it was a display issue and even the expanded version has the missing piece.

Faulty upscaling of 3D object
- Windows 11 latest stable release
- Illustrator 29.9 (Desktop)
- I applied the 3D effect » Extrude & Bevel to my logo design then upscaled it to maximum size as I need exported large raster png of the logo design, but when I upscaled it it just couldn't handle the size as you can see in the attached screenshot below.

A group with no appearance attributes is treated and marked like it has some
- Create two objects (e.g. rectangles)
- Group them
- Open Appearance panel
- Add a stroke to your group
- Remove the stroke (with the Delete Selected Item button)
- Open Layers panel and study the appearance 'ring' marker of the group — Illustrator now believes the group has a custom appearance, while there is none!
If you click the Contents in the Appearance panel with the group selected, Illustrator will clearly say 'Group: No Appearance' in the top of the panel.
This 'empty' appearance can be saved as Graphic Style even and applied to another object, giving no actual result, except for the 'solid…

Copying tables from InDesign and only the text pastes in Illustrator
Hello, I used to be able to copy a table I created in InDesign and copy and paste it into Illustrator with all of the formatting being the same. Now when I go to paste a table, all of the table formatting is missing and it's just a big block of text. Please fix this soon as my company does this on a day-to-day basis for our images. I attached an image of what it looks like when I paste the table in Illustrator.
13 votesIllustrator team is working on a fix for this issue. Meanwhile you can use the below workaround to paste the table as it was before.
Before you copy the table in InDesign, create a path object along with table and then copy from InDesign and Paste in Illustrator. This forces the PDF route for copy/paste between ID and AI

A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong
Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.- Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
- Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
- Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
- Select…

Glitch in Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect
When applying Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect to an object, and applying a corner radius larger than the shape can support, one side of the rounded rectangle is given an extra anchor point with adjustment handles that make an overlap visible. This only occurs on one side of the object.
The desired result is that the corners meet at a single anchor point, as on the right hand side of the objects in the attached AI file.

Intertwine objects expand when an effect is applied to them
When I want to add, say, a drop shadow to my whole intertwined art, I get it immediately expanded. A warning is displayed, but I’d prefer to keep it live.
I’d put this in user requests, but let’s admit this is a bug, since I never asked for an object to be expanded, and it potentially can stay live — unlike moving one point of a live rectangle, which obviously makes it a non-rectangle anymore.
