Exporting DWG or DXF and importing it back leads to artifacts
On importing .dwg or .dxf files into illustrator (even for files that have been exported from illustrator in those formats), the file opens with unwanted artifacts. Please see the image below. On the left is the ai file and on the right is the same file exported as .dwg and opened, with artifacts on the curves.
This is basic and shouldn't be happening in the first place. It makes working with manufacturing utterly painful.
Request you guys to please iron out this glitch.

Clipped objects outside of the clipping mask get highlighted with Smart Guides enabled
With Smart guides turned on, the Selection tools see individual items inside the mask (even though when then clicking it only selects the mask). This behavior is also not desirable as it makes selecting objects really tricky.

Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes
Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.
- Draw a shape.
- Draw another shape over it.
- Make these two shapes into a compound shape.
- Select the whole compound shape.
- Draw Inside won't work.
- But you can put some other shapes under the compound shape, select them all, and do Object > Clipping path > Make.
The other case is Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select…

Braille fonts are displaying incorrectly after latest update (29.1)
After doing the latest update, one particular font I use is displaying at a different spacing to what it was in the previous versions of illustrator and is incorrect.
Its a slight difference but I deal with braille on medicine so this is required to be very accurate. I have attached an example but am unable to upload the font, which is a unique braille font for our company.
I have gone back to the previous version of Illustrator for now to resolve this.

[Win11 23H2] Illustrator 29.1 Doesn't See Installed CMYK Color Profiles
By default, no installed CMYK color profiles are visible in either Edit > Color Settings > Working Spaces > CMYK and View > Proof Setup > Customize... > Device to Simulate.
They become temporarily visible again after deleting the following files:
1) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ACECache11.lst
2) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Color\ACEConfigCache2.lst
Sometimes I also have to reboot the system to make the profiles visible.
Unfortunately, the above solution works only once. After creating a new Illustrator files for the second time, all the profiles are gone again.

下揃えに設定したエリア内テキストを途中で改行すると上にスペースが十分あるにも関わらずオーバーフローする
macOS13.6.7／Windows10・11
Illustrator 28.5再現手順
1.エリア内テキストを作成し下揃えに設定した上でテキストを入力する。
2.任意の部分で改行を入力する。
3.テキストは上に送られずにオーバーフローする。期待する結果
上に十分な余白がある場合はテキストを上に送りオーバーフローさせない。実際の結果
エリア内テキストに余白がある場合でもテキストの位置がそのまま保持されてオーバーフローを生じる。現状の対処方法
当該エリア内テキストに対してストーリーの再計算が生じる処理（移動やカーニング・トラッキング調整等）を行うと正常な体裁に戻る。下揃えにした場合、途中の改行でもストーリー全体の再計算が必要になるのですが、上揃えと同様に改行以降の部分的な再計算だけが行われているように思います。
また、これに気付かずにドキュメントを保存すると、次にドキュメントを開いて当該エリア内テキストを編集しようとした時に体裁が変化するために
「このテキストは、別バージョンのIllustratorで作成されました。……」
のアラートが表示されます。

保存後、再度開くと文字スタイルがリセットかつ適用できない箇所が一部発生
文字スタイルの不具合が２点。
いずれも、クラウドドキュメント（.aic）で保存したファイルを、次の日開いたら発生。適用していた文字スタイル（標準文字スタイル）が解除され、再度どの文字スタイルを選択しても適用されない
適用していた文字スタイル（標準文字スタイル）の部分が文字化けし、設定していないフォントに書き換えられる
正直、保存→ファイルを開くだけで、こんな不具合が出るのは非常に困ります。尚且つ、1.の再度文字スタイルが選べない = 復旧できないは致命的です。
XDに近い、テキストスタイルはとても便利な機能なので、早急に安定活用できるよう改善お願いいたします。[添付]
1. 選択箇所のように、サイズ10級にしていた箇所が、フォント種、サイズなどめちゃめちゃになり、スタイルの再設定もできない- 1.と同様の「標準文字スタイル」箇所が勝手に他のフォントに設定され、尚且つ文字化けを起こしている

Illustrator Fails to Save as PDF or .AI After macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Update — Skips Artboards, Crashes, and GPU View Greyed Out
After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.4.1, Adobe Illustrator 29.5 (2025) is experiencing critical issues. When attempting to save as a PDF, it skips artboards, takes an unusually long time to load, and often crashes or shows an “unable to save” error. Saving a copy in .ai format also fails, regardless of location or file setup. Additionally, the “View Using GPU” option is inexplicably greyed out on some files, despite running on compatible hardware. These bugs are severely disrupting workflow and need urgent resolution.

The Illustrator was not responding every time I tend to save new file
Once I open Illustrator, it functions smoothly. I can open and save a copy of an existing files without any problems. However, when I click 'New File' and attempt to save it, the program consistently crashes with and became unresponsive.
I tried saving the recovered file, but it also hangs and 'not responding' when I click 'Save' in the File menu. I even restarted my computer to see if that would resolve the issue, but I'm still unable to save a new file.
I hope you can assist me with this problem.

Generative Pop-ups causing file open click issues in MacOS Ventura
The popups that push the generative AI features (which should be permantally dismissable, but that's another issue) cause a bug in the file open... menu. If the popup remains open, and you click File > Open... the file dialog opens, but you cannot click on any files. Closing Illustrator and re-opening will fix the issue.

If it misbehaves still — please comment back.

Tip popup when zooming in and out (Alt key while brush is selected)
Whenever I zoom in and out using Alt + scroll wheel or a shortcut on my Wacom pencil, and have a Pencil or Brush selected, the smoothing tool pops up and gives this 'tip' that is obstructing my work. Turning tool tips off does not help.
'To smooth a section, select its anchor points with the direct selection tool and adjust the slider.'
It is really annoying, I'm not trying even trying to smooth the paths, just zooming! The tip stays on screen until I do something else, and pops back up whenever I hit alt. I know how the…

Let users select their own brush strokes rather than enforcing inappropriate and slow ones on them
What if Illustrator didn't default to inappropriate brush strokes every time I attempted to use their brush? Often, I find myself working on designs that need clean vector outlines rather than a ragged brush stroke effect. Having to switch back from the ragged brush stroke every time is time-consuming and slows the software. What if we gave users the freedom to select the brush of their choice?
