    Plz examine the file. Two paths with different width profiles when reflected. Bottom one behaviour is good, top path behaves badly. Why would this be ?

  3. Dragging across visibility icons in Separations Preview panel doesn’t work

    You have to turn off each color individually in separation preview .
    With Photoshop you only need to click on a color. Hold down the mouse button and then pull it up or down to switch more colors on or off. So if you want to switch 10 colors off and on again, for example, you have to click the mouse a total of 20 times.
    With Photoshop you only need two clicks for this process.
    Why isn't this done at Illustrator?

  4. Unit increments for Large canvas documents have fractions

    Since the introduction of the large canvas sizes (which is awesome, by the way) I have been noticing that my increments of measure particularly in type and keyboard increments within the preferences have been scaling down to microscopic numbers when I change from feet to inches or points. I then get these odd numbers when scaling type with the keyboard shortcuts.

  5. Reflect and Rotate tools don’t keep the last used value

    The Reflect Tool doesn't remember the last setting, (e.g. vertical 90º) and instead puts in a random angle.

  8. paths missing in export

    When exporting a vector image, some of the paths in my pattern fill are disappearing. It's weird because on the export panel it shows up fine, but when actually exported the paths are missing.

  9. Export as SVG should respect all-caps style on text

    Text in Illustrator file set with All-Caps style. When export as SVG, the style is lost. Either the style should be preserved, or, during export, the case should be hard-coded into the text (e.g. "Hello" styled as all-caps becomes "HELLO").

  10. 25.2.1 Windows 10 - Occasionally No Fonts Load

    I am not sure if this is a reproducible but on Windows 10 1909, since upgrading to Illustrator 25.2.1 will occasionally not load any fonts after opening. The font selection dropdown list is entirely blank and no system fonts or activated typekit fonts show. I have no issue with fonts in any other programs.

  11. No puedo copiar objetos entre pestañas utilizando alt+click izquierdo y arrastre

    Cuando copio un objeto (elemento) por el método Alt+click izquierdo y arrastre del ratón y quiero trasladarlo de pestañas no se abre la pestaña de destino. El objeto se copia, aparece el símbolo + y la pestaña cambia de color pero el documento de destino no se abre. Esto no pasa si paso un objeto de AI a PSD ni entre pestañas de PSD que si se abren y los elementos se copian sin problema.

    Mi versión de Adobe Illustrator es la 25.2.1.

  12. Action shortcuts are lost when rearranging action sets

    If I manually rearrange the order of my Action Sets by dragging a set up or down in the list, all the shortcuts assigned to the actions in this set are lost.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  13. Duplicate Graphic Styles

    Multipage document. Many objects with a specific style, rectangle, 20% gray fill, no line. All assigned graphic style, eg, Box Style. I want to move these objects to a new artboard, so it's select, Copy, Paste In Place, Move specific distance (because I've laid out my art boards precisely). Problem is that I then get Box Style 1, or Box Style 2, and so on.

    If I option drag this does not happen. This makes NO SENSE.

    Styles are styles. Why would Illustrator be duplicating styles. Makes NO SENSE. Option drag is NOT an efficient way for my workflow. Maybe…

    This problem is reportedly fixed (finally!) in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

    However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

    • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
    • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
    • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.
  14. Mudança no perfil de cores toda vez que o illustrator é aberto ou muda de janela

    Meu illustrator está apresentando constantes bugs no perfil de cores. Toda vez que alterno as janelas de trabalho, ou abro algum arquivo novo, ou inicio ele do zero ele muda a configuração de gerenciamento de cores para uma opção "emular adobe illustrator 6.0" já tentei salvar as configurações de gerenciamento, já tentei utilizar o Bridge pra sincronizar as cores entre os apps e nada funciona.

    Poderiam me ajudar com isso?

  15. Typeface combo box doesn't work in Glyphs palette

    Cannot open list of typefaces.
    Clicking on down arrow next to field results in highlighting the whole field, next click switches highlighting off.
    Starting to type in field (to provide typeface name) just empties the field and does nothing more.
    Next field - typeface style (bold, italic etc.) works fine.

  17. type tool is fundamentally broken.

    Why did you f up the type tool?? It, like almost everything else in Illustrator, doesn't work as good as it did a few versions back. I don't mind you making changes, but when it starts to impede productivity, it's a problem. I hate this program now. HATE. It's a buggy, aggravating, and just does not work seamlessly as it once did.

    With the type tool, I have issues placing the cursor in the type. if I use the hand tool in conjunction with the type tool, it overrides the hand tool and starts adding spaces. Neve been a problem…

  18. There are standards that cannot be selected when saving PDF

    I'm using Bigsur (not M1).
    When I try to create a PDF in Illustrator 25.1, I can't select the latest standard.
    You can save it to another Catalina Mac with the same version installed as usual (the bright UI is a normal image).

  20. Arrow Head and Font Drop Down in Floating Panels display bug on Multiple displays

    The Arrow Head drop down menu in the Stroke panel pops up in weird places as shown in the attached video.

    Similarly, the fonts drop-down menu in the Character panel seems to be showing much larger than it normally would.

    This only happens when I am using multiple screens.
