  2. Add Discretionary Line Break

    Each time I need to insert a discretionary line break in Illustrator, I forget there is none. I go through menus, hoping to finally see it, but nope, it’s something InDesign has only.

    Please make one.

  3. Wireframe Conversion of 3D objects distorts the paths, straightens curves

    Converting 3D text to a wireframe often doesn’t show the curves of fonts correctly. During the process, these curves often turn into straight lines or rough shapes, losing the original look of the font or the 3D preview.

  4. Adobe Illustrator 28.7.3 does not load AIBeautifulStrokes

    Adobe Illustrator 28.7.3, at least the macOS version, does not load AIBeautifulStrokes suite in my plugin (error 29550). All other versions, including up to 28.7.2, work fine. I am using SDK build 142, the version of the 2024 SDK now available for download.

    AIErr err = sSPBasic->AcquireSuite (kAIBeautifulStrokesSuite, kAIBeautifulStrokesVersion, (const void**) &sAIBeautifulStrokes);

  6. Character colors set for character/paragraph styles loaded from another document are lost when the file is saved and reopened.

    別のドキュメントから読み込んだ文字スタイル・段落スタイルに設定された文字カラーは，ファイルを保存して再度開いたときに失われてしまいます。

    1. macOS & Windows OS, Illustrator all versions

    2. 再現手順
      ① ドキュメント上で段落スタイルを新規作成し，文字カラーを設定後，保存する。
      ② 別のドキュメントの段落スタイルパネル「段落スタイルの読み込み…」より，①.ai を読み込む。
      ③ 読み込んだ段落スタイルを適用したテキストオブジェクトを作成し，保存する。
      ④ ③のドキュメントを再度開く。

    3. 望む結果：　　①で設定した文字の色が，段落スタイルの「文字カラー」に設定されている。

    4. 実際の結果：　　段落スタイルの「文字カラー」は「なし」になっている。

    読み込んだスタイルを適用したテキストオブジェクトの見た目は黒くなり（カラースペースがDevice Grayになり），カラーパネルの表示は「？」になります。

    上記手順では「段落スタイル」について書いていますが，「文字スタイル」で設定した場合も，同様の不具合が発生します。

  7. Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries

    Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)

    Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.

    I'm on…

  8. The "color spectrum" in Color panel always shrinking to the minimal size and it is very annoying.

    Every time I open Adobe Illustrator, the "color spectrum" in color panel always shrinking to the minimal size. Could you please make it not change according to the size the user wants. I usually need the "color spectrum" to be full size (maximum size). That would really help us designer a lot. Thanks, Adobe team.

  9. Incorrect Future Dates Displayed in Links panel on Illustrator 29.5.1 with OS Sequoia 15.4.1

    The Dates are NOT correct in the Links pallets. Not only does it say the same for the creation & modification dates. It is from the future 2040?
    Please fix this.

    I am using OS Sequoia 15.4.1_ Illustrator 29.5.1
    My time is set up to EST on my iMac 24inch M1 2021.

    I create the files... It doesn't matter what file or what link is placed. If I select any link in any file I have created over the last 4 years... They all say the exact same date — Feb 06, 2040. Files that I created in back in…

  10. Keyboard Increment works wrong and arrow keys move object more than they should

    I have the problem as a result of the last update to Illustrator 2025, version 29.0 (October 2024)

    The measurement set in the Preferences section, General in Keyboard Increment does not displace the configured measurement. For example, I set 0.5 mm and when moving with the arrow key to the sides it moves 0.706 mm

    Likewise, when using Shift + Arrow you must move the measurement 10 times, in my example you must move 5 mm but it moves 5,292 mm

    Please correct ERROR it is very useful and necessary, it makes me waste time in the Design

  11. 3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS

    I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless…

  12. Reflect tool should mirror path direction as well

    When Reflecting (mirroring, flipping) Paths with a non non uniform Stroke Widths, the result is not correct, since the Path direction is not reversed. (see screenshot)

  13. Scale Tool center point sticking to the cursor

    When using the Scale tool, when I drag the center point with the mouse (actually it happens when using the pen), it sticks to the tip of the cursor and does not go away for a while. I lower the program window down, switch to other programs, only then it is solved. The program locks at that time.

  15. Holding Shift (or Ctrl) to move RGB sliders together in Color panel doesn’t work when color is white

    A Help article on Color panel states we can hold Shift (also works for Ctrl, although unspecified there) to move color channels’ sliders 'in tandem', together, — http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html#keys_for_the_color_panel

    This indeed works, in both RGB and CMYK modes (not in HSB, since its values won’t benefit from it).

    However, if all three RGB sliders are at 255/100% (white), this mode doesn’t work — please see the GIF attached.

    It probably makes sense for CMYK, where it’s not clear if 0-0-0-0 should become something like 24-24-24-24, but it totally makes sense for RGB, where we expect to get a gray color.

    Thanks…

  17. Very laggy zooming in and out using mouse scroll since versions 28.1

    I'm on Windows 11, using the newly updated AI 29.0. This has been mostly my issue since AI 28.1 onwards. I've been using AI 28.0 without any problems, but I try out every new version to see if the issue will be resolved. I have a good internet connection (700++ Mbps). I think my system has more than the minimum requirements.

    For AI 28.0 - both .AI and AIC (cloud) files can be zoomed in and out using mouse scroller without any problems.

    For AI 28.1 - 29.0 - Locally saved .AI is somewhat laggy. Cloud saved .AIC has a…

  18. 'Audodesk' instead of 'Autodesk' when exporting DWG

    I’ve noticed that when exporting as Autodesk RealDWG, the pop-up progress bar actually says Audodesk. Spelling Mistake.

  19. Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly

    Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly. Per the online documentation at https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/graphs.html:

    “The design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same size as the default square marker on the line or scatter graph.”

    This is how it used to work. Now it scales the markers down to fit in the default marker’s bounding box, which creates absurdly small results (screenshot attached, showing the size that should be generated per the documentation versus what actually happens). I've tried this multiple times and always get the same incorrect result.

  20. Edit Toolbar menu gets hidden when a toolbar is too close to the bottom edge of the screen

    If you have a custom toolbar and it’s positioned too close to the bottom of your screen, and you press the Edit Toolbar button — the portion of the 'drawer' with all the tool icons is positioned from the top of the toolbar, and it’s bottom half is missing... you can’t move it, scroll it, reach to the icons hidden — you have to close it, move the toolbar, and start editing it again.

    Please position this 'dropdown menu' in a way it’s seen in full, or resized to fit into the screen, no matter where the toolbar is on…
