Can't open .dwg files all of a sudden
Ai CC 2019 - Can no longer open dwg files - the error is "unknown file format" the old work around used to be to save the .dwg & all xref's to a 2010 version and it would open. Super frustrating as this has occurred in the middle of a project. How to get the dwg's compatible again?
3 votesPlease email a dwg that was opening in CC 2018 but not on CC 2019.

Can't open any files.
Illustrator won't open any files at all. Every time I try to open one (doesn't matter what file type) it causes the program to turn unresponsive.

Objects not displaying in the right place?

Colours Suddenly change and go lighter
Running latest Creative Cloud on El Capitan, 10.11.5.
When working on a file, all of my colors suddenly get lighter, almost like I'm working within a group. When I look at the swatch color values they have the same hex as a previous doc, but don't display the same.
As a quick test, I exported the corrupt version as a jpeg and rectified the colour in photoshop by altering the levels.
At the time of the switch I was working with the rotate and extrude tool.

CC 2019 version runs slow!
For some reason in this 2019 version of the program it chugs and is very slow to move around and work with my files, even if the files are not very large. I usually have to shut the program down and restart to correct the problem. Would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and if someone at Adobe could address this, thank you.
14 votesI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

Type tool
Idk about anyone else. But since I updated Illustrator, my Type Tool has been slowing down my computer to the point where it almost crashes whenever I am using the tool. Clicking ANYTHING or highlighting type causes the "spinning ball" to pop up instantly, and sometimes not even highlighting the selection I want!
Thoughts?

Dropbox Smart Sync Enhancement (bug still here)
If you use Dropbox Smart Sync, when you browse files in Dropbox folders to find an open/save location, Adobe softwares (AI, PS, Acrobat...) download automatically all the files in folders you are browsing !
It's said in the Adobe blog that Adobe dev team made an improvement in the march 2018 release (https://theblog.adobe.com/introducing-march-release-illustrator-cc/).
But we still have the issue on several macbooks at work. It's really boring.1 vote -
Cursor location offset from mouse. Cannot select or use illustrator effectively.
I am on Creative Cloud version Version 23.0.1. I am having a problem from the moment I open Illustrator that the mouse and cursor do not synchronise. The cursor actually selects something completely offset from what I am trying to select. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as just restarting. Nothing is resetting it to work correctly.

Type On A Path text not sticking exactly to path
When Type On A Path is applied to a circle, some type is input, and the type is rotated by effect (not permanently), the type no longer stays on the path.

Touch Workspace Inconsistent
I have a Dell XPS 15 9570; it's more laptop than tablet, but it does have some touchscreen functionality.
When I first launched Illustrator on this device, I had the option to use touch mode, which was awesome.
For some reason though, it is no longer accessible. I've checked the workspaces menu, window>wirkspaces, etc. Nothing. There's not external keyboard connected (the laptop has a built in keyboard), I've restarted illustrator, I've tried different document types, I've switched my OS between tablet mode and laptop mode... nothing.
I'd really like to be able to use this mode again. Any advice?

GPU preview glitch
I encounter this glitch since introduction of GPU preview.
Only now I managed to narrow down the conditions to replicate it.When the Control pane is switched off (Window > Control), and Screen Mode is in Fullscreen Mode with Menu Bar, then when the working area is scrolled down, black horisontal lines appear. As if they are somehow traced by the top edge of the working area. Once I zoom out/in, they disappear. Also switching to CPU preview removes the glitch all together. This appears on both retina and non-retina displays.
This does not happen when the Control pane is…

artboard
I am having issues with the alignment of the image on the artboard. It seems the rectangle I used to cover the artboard isn't lining up. I am not sure if this is a problem or I simply don't know how to fix it
2 votesThe artwork has a small black dot on the right side, far away from the artboard. Watch closely at the right side of your 11×17.jpg image to notice it.
And export options were probably without ‘Use artboards’ tick.P.S. Please always provide the file you have problems with!

Unable to save Illustrator file as SVG using artboards
We use Illustrator to draw lots of icons.
If we place each icon on an artboard and try to save each artboard to a file by selecting Save as > SVG > Use artboards > All, we expect multiple icons to be saved to multiple SVG files.We actually get multiple SVG files, but each SVG contains all layer names from the original file and one SVG icon.
It would be very helpful, if manual cleanup after saving / exporting wasn't necessary.
2 votesNils, please try export svg through File > Export > Export As > SVG and let us know the result

Illustrator cc2019(v23.0) テキストをアウトライン化すると元の位置からズレる
テキストを効果→パスの変形→変形で回転したものを、アウトライン化すると元の位置からズレます。フォントのサイズが大きいほどズレが大きいようです。
印刷会社へ入稿する際や、納品する場合も必ずアウトライン化したファイルを作成するので、このズレは致命的です。
早急に改善していただきたいです。2 votes -

Sync with Adobe Draw
I am new to using Adobe Draw and sending the vectors direct to Illustrator.
Draw has a simple one click feature to send a vector to AI. Except that it doesn't work quite as it should. The project gets stuck in the cloud, I can see any drawing I create then send 'direct' in my Adobe.com assets > mobile creations. It doesn't push through to AI, which I have open while I'm working in Draw.
I have been through the support team, and have been advised the only solution is to send all my drawings through, then restart both devices,…
