  2. View Using GPU Gets Greyed Out Permanently with Outline Mode

    Hello, with fresh preferences, 'View using GPU' and scrubby zoom are enabled in Illustrator. if I turn on Outline Mode, Illustrator loses connection with my GPU. The 'View using GPU' option becomes greyed out and never restores. In order to get it back I have to delete my preferences. Here is my system info:

    Illustrator 25.1
    OS: Windows 10
    GPU: 2 x NVIDIA Titan Black
    RAM: 64 GB Memory
    GPU Driver: Driver 460.89
    Display: ASUS PQ321Q 4K

  3. Select all in an isolated group selects and allows to move locked and hidden objects

    Imagine a group. Let's isolate it and hide one object, lock another, and leave the third one as it is. Ctrl+A to select all and then move the selection. Illustrator then moves all the objects, despite it does not behave like this on canvas.

    If you check layers, you’ll see that Illustrator targets all children (double circle markers) but not a parent (the recent fix), and selects all objects including the parent (big square markers).

    If you try to move the selection, all objects get moved.

    This is not what happens if we try to select objects on canvas, locked…

  8. Problem with <use> element of SVG files

    In SVG 1.0/1.1, the <use> element uses the xlink:href attribute to refer to objects; In SVG 2.0, the attribute was changed to href. Illustrator supports the former, but not the latter, content will be lost when opening such a file.

    Below is a simple test case (saved as a .svg file). There are three circles in it, the second one is referenced via xlink:href and the third one is referenced via href, opening the file in Illustrator will only see the first two.

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50" height="100">
    <circle cx="25" cy="20" id="circle" r="10"/>
    <use xlink:href="#circle" transform="translate(0 30)"/>

  9. Illustrator 2023 crash

    He realizado un diseño en Adobe Illustrator 2022 y luego de guardarlo y cerrarlo lo intento abrir y por mas que intento no abre, el programa se queda cargando un poco y luego se cierra automaticamente. No me abre, el archivo es un poco pesado y tardaría pero igualmente deberia abrir. He estado con soporte y aun así no han conseguido el error.

  12. Playing Save for Web operation from action produces different result than a direct operation

    1. Rename the .txt file to .aia
    2. Load this file as a set into Actions panel
    3. Open the .ai document (make sure that linked .tif file is loaded)
    4. Export the file using Save For Web command. Set size to 200% and save the result as 1.jpg
    5. Run the 'Test' action form the loaded set. Save the image as 2.jpg

    Compare both files. 2.jpg is looking more red than 1.jpg
    No profiles attached to JPGs.

    1. Run the action again

  15. SVG text exportation creates a fragmented code

    All texts I wrote in a drawing, when exported to SVG files, were not anymore consistent: fragments of texts were overlapping each others.
    I opened SVG file using a text reader and I discovered that my texts were unnecessarily fragmented in many parts that finally were badly rebuild in the code.

  17. pattern swatches using raster artwork creating glitch

    I am using a mac studio, M1 Max chip, Ventura 13.1, and Illustrator 27.1.1. Issue occurs when using GPU view.

    I use pattern swatches extensively in my work to create a digital foil effect. My pattern swatches are made from raster images placed into Illustrator. I have been using this for years with no problem and am only experiencing this problem since upgrading my computer and my software.

    When I move artwork that uses the pattern swatches, splotches of my pattern appear in my document, sometimes even on my artboard covering my artwork.

    This directly interferes with my workflow.

  18. An object's stroke thickness when it is copied and pasted

    I have scales strokes and effects checked off in preferences and under transform but even if not, the problem persists. When I create an object with the blob brush tool, and I color it in, then copy and paste it, the stroke thickness changes (thicker or thinner). I am not changing size, just copying and pasting it.

  19. Align / distribute spacing applies x10 multiplier in large-canvas document

    Distribute objects doesn't work properly in a large-canvas document. In the example. I applied a spacing of 2 inches, but a x10 multiplier is automatically applied, so the spacing is actually 20 inches.
