Attempting to Save an Illustrator File causes Mac to Restart.
This has happened almost every time I have tried to save a large Illustrator file. It is pretty much a lottery as to if the file will save or if I have to start again or recover what I have lost. I don't know what is the cause or how to fix it.

Save File
We are still having save file issues. Illustrator will not save the file over a network or even at time to the desktop. Also please do say "this is not a generic issue" looking at all the posts below with the same problem it surely is.
And please can we get moving on this. There seems a real lack of effort to fix these things. Whenever I read these posts you guys are always saying you have fixed the problem but the posts show that you have not, or you made the error occur again in another update. Very disappointed…

Stroke smaller than 1pt creating spikes/anomalies on the curve
Illustrator 2020 24.0.3
macOS Catalina 10.15.2Need hairline stroke (.003pt) for one of my machines. When I outline Helvetica (Type>Create Outlines), and change the stroke to anything smaller than 1pt, the curves of the font blow out and create spikes. I've been using the same method for several years and this had only just now become an issue.
Tried other fonts and only seems to happen on curves. If I try to use the file anyway and my machine does not recognize the file as having any data in it.

Why can't you make snap work again?
I work with die cuts and i need precision. Don't remember from which version but illutrator sucks at snapping now. I mean all shapes i make get 20.001 or 19.999 and try using compound, it doesn't work! You can't draw with precision anymore.

Disappearing artboards in Illustrator 24.0.3
I created a bunch of artboards and put logotypes (word logos) in them, exported each artboard as separate SVGs, closed the file. When I opened the file the next time, only my first artboard still remained but all my artboards I created after that were gone. This is disruptive because I need to keep the placement of all of the graphics in those artboards consistent as they are going to appear on the same baseline in our product. This is not the first time this has happened to me! I can't attach an image as the content cannot be public…

Bug with stroke
Hello! I got a bug. When you copy a shape to a new artboard, a stroke appears that cannot be deleted. It is superimposed over the usual stroke. And when you remove the fill and stroke, it remains. The same when reinstalling the program, this problem remains in this file.
P.S. I worked in the latest version of illustrator1 voteThe target layer has an appearance assigned. See comments for details.

Comment "S" - Command "W"
If you want to quickly save and close a document using the shortcut keys (command-s) and (command-w), illustrator will save the file but will not close it! And if you then use the shortcut key for closing (command-w) then illustrator closes other open files! WTF?

Feather does not gradient to transparent
When 'feather' is applied to (in my instance) a black box overlaying a colored background, the black appears as a conspicuous grey.

Exporting to png creates corrupted png file.
I'm having an issue with corrupted png files that were exported from Illustrator. If I export from photoshop, it's fine. I have exported from Illustrator a bunch of times before, so not sure what the problem is and what to do to correct the problem. Seems like it started with the latest update, but I'm not totally sure of that. Before this issue started, exporting to png was very fast. Now it is very slow, sometimes crashes the app, and when I do get a file and try to upload it online I get a corrupted file message. Again, this…

Embedding multiple .psd files
Embedding multiple .psd files no longer works in 2020. Previous versions would allow you to multi-select linked .psd's and embed them all at once. 2020 allows multi-selection, but only converts the first linked image.

Image Trace, Saving files, Swatch panel
Running AI 2020, v 24.0.3 on Mac High Sierra v 10.13.6
Save & Save As commands are not working at all. Commands are there, seems like they work (able to click, asks for file name, location, etc), but file never appears/saves. Have tried saving as new file types, names, etc, but nothing works.
Image Trace, same issue. Button is there and I click on it but nothing happens.
Swatch panel has disappeared completely. Searched "Swatch" in illustrator help search bar says "no results found". "Swatches" not under windows menu. Have loaded different workspaces, none have it.
Have quit and restarted…

Unreliable EPS export from CC 2020
If I export a multilayered Illustrator file as an EPS from CC 2020, layers are not saved with the correct ones activated when the EPS is opened in Illustrator once again.
When I complete the same task in CC 2019 the layers are saved correctly.
This means that CC 2020 is not usable in its current state as a reliable production tool for generate EPS files.

Save artboards as individual files - File name bug
When I try to save an .ai and check "Save each artboard as a seperate file"
Illy should create each file with my chosen file name, plus appended with the name of each artboard.
Except sometimes it fails to append the correct artboard name. I always rename my artboards, and sometimes it just adds the default dartboard name.I'm on:

Mac OS Wacom brush lag
UPDATE: I kept researching and found on another support blog to try hiding the rulers and right away my brush quit lagging by at least 85-90% improvement. Actions taken: View > Rulers > Hide Rulers. Weird, but it worked for me. I hope this helps anyone else with this issue. Ideally, we'd like to have this fixed so that rules can stay open, but nice to have a quick fix too.
ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
I'm on a MacOS Catalina (most recent Mac upgrade). I'm using a Wacom Tablet (up-to-date drivers) and the subscription version of Adobe Illustrator. My brush is lagging…4 votes
