Rotation is too sensitive. I cannot use transform options.
Rotation was too insensitive in the previous version.
Rotation is too sensitive in this version. It is prioritizing it over everything else too much.7 votes -
Learn tab prompt covers necessary tabs
I hate the learn tab with the fire of 1000 suns and I long for the sweet release of death to keep me from seeing this prompt I have no ability to disable.
Every time I start Illustrator I get this prompt to use the Learn tab. I don't want to use the Learn tab, I have work to do and this prompt covers important parts of the interface that I need to do my job.
There's no affordance to turn it off, the links just open a tab I do not want. It take 3 click to dismiss it…
5 votesThis got solved by eliminating the Bulb button altogether. Instead we now have the Discover panel now, which can be called with Help > Illustrator Help / Tutorials / What’s New(they all lead to different sections of the same panel).

Illustrator 2021 crashes when trying to import AutoCad DWG
Every time I try and open an AutoCAD dwgs in illustrator, the options to choose what scale I want comes up and when I click ok, the whole program crashes and the pop up box comes up asking if I want to send a report to illustrator. I cant open any of my dwg drawings at all!
I've uninstalled and re-installed illustrator many times and updated it to make sure its the latest update and I've turned my computer off and on many times but nothing works. It worked for me before I updated so I think its the latest…

Replacing image does not match position of original
When replacing an image, the placement of the new image is in a (seemingly) random position on the canvas rather than in the same position as the original image.

Save for Displays: SVG export is extremly slow on Windows
I do have a file with around 100 artboards with simple icons that need to be exported to SVG.
This process is extremly slow on Windows on a decent machine. Every SVG takes about 3sec to save. CPU usage shown AI is running only on Core #2. The same file exports in seconds on my 8 years old Mac.

Image trace does not allow to use your own colour palette
Under advanced image trace, now when you use the dropdown palette and select 'Document library' and then select your own limited colour theme in the dropdown below, it makes no difference at all (even though it takes time re-rendering the image).
This used to work really effectively, but I've had these issues for some time.
I'm on the latest version of Illustartor 2020 (ver 24.2.3)
I've attached a screengrab so you can see the colours are not being used!

Wacom tablet pen problem
The buttons on the Wacom tablet pen has been set to scroll up/down, but it doesn't work in illustrator. When pressing the button, a hand sign appears and vanishes instantly. The buttons work fine in other adobe and non-adobe apps. I have tried reinstalling the Wacom drivers and also disabled and enabled the wacom device on preferences but nothing seems to work.

Overprint Setting & colour settings
Issue one
Overprint can’t be applied to groups. Individual objects within that group remain unset to overprint, even though the tick box claims it’s overprinting — it is not. This is misleading & downright dangerous.Furthermore, the color issue shown in the video. Your objects should not do that, it again expands the risk for error. Basically all the print sensitive setting in AI latest version have stopped functioning logically, if you ask me & really up the risk for errors in print. Never mind that going through all objects individually is tedious & unnecessary, it prolongs the process &…

AiRobin hogging huge amounts of RAM (between 12GB and 16 GB) and at times slows the machine down.
I have turned off "background save / export" which is apparently the purpose of AiRobin. Nonetheless, it has continued to run for the couple of months since I turned those off. Today I had InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open momentarily; I try to avoid that, but usually it's fine for 5 or 10 minutes. This time it wasn't, and I could literally do nothing (even move the mouse for the most part) for close to 15 minutes. I was finally able to pull up Activity Monitor and I ended the process for AiRobin. Immediately things improved. But sure enough, AiRobin…

See video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7hete8hhhe7mzv/Screen%20Recording%202020-09-11%20at%2014.34.23.mov?dl=0
Illustrator 24.3 crashes when changing the colour of a gradient handle if the Layers palette is open and on-screen. Video above is a freshly re-installed Illustrator in a brand new user account (macOS 10.15.6).

Adobe illustraitor new beta version freezing with M1 chip
I have recently upgraded to the Macboook pro M1 chip, and my adobe illustraior would not work at all, freezing and needing to force restart everytime I tried to use it. Adobe then released the Beta version, compatible with the Silicon M1 chip and I upgraded, however now it seems llike my Illustraitor has a lag.
Every 5 seconds or couple of movements, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then catches up. I have restarted, reopened and no change. I am unsure of what else to do as work is now impossible, if anyone has experienced anything similar…1 vote -
Export for screens does not remember the last folder in the export path and always defaults back to PNG after quit
When exporting for screens, I usually want SVG. When I quit and restart Illustrator, the last folder in the export path is forgotten. Additionally, Illustrator wants to export a PNG. I have to set both back to what they were before.

Visible brush stroke using touchscreen desktop (MS Surface Studio)
Whilst drawing directly by hand onto the screen of my Microsoft Surface Studio 2, occasionally Illustrator decides it isn't going to make the path I'm drawing visible. Use the mouse and the brush stroke is visible.
I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to this type of desktop (rare, I know), or if tablet / Wacom pad users experience this too? Either way, not knowing where you've drawn doesn't make life easy!

PEN TOOL IS BROKEN
Option/alt+click on anchor doesn't work. It used to make anchor points to curve OR corner. It even says "Pen: Make Corner" at the bottom of the window in the "current tool" field, but actually it just creates NEW PATH.
And the Anchor point tool icon changes to "Pen tool - start path" icon on hover.So you've actually managed to broke the most essential feature of Illustrator - which is to draw and modify vectors. Awesome job!
It would be actually rather funny if it wasn't COSTING ME MONEY THE WHOLE TIME FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIX IT!

Locking everything exept one vector
Hi, a week ago I updated from Ai 2015 to Ai 2021 and had this issue a couple of times, while isolating a vector I get stuck in it, everything else becomes grayish and I can't get back in to all the layers, I can interact with them however there's gray over all of them, hope the image explains it better. If I save the file and close it and open it, it's still the same problem, i guess its some feature, but i don't know how to deactivate it and haven't found any help online. Thanks!

Perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.
Depuis la version 25.1 perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.
Lors de l'import de fichiers DXF à partir d'un logiciel CAD (Solid Edge), chaque pièce de l'assemblage était reconnue par Illustrator (1 pièce = 1 calque).
Ce n'est plus le cas depuis les dernières mise à jour (dernière mise à jour qui fonctionne : 25.0.1)3 votes
