  2. 塗りブラシツールで使用しているブラシが勝手に切り替わる仕様について

    adobe illustrator2020
    塗りブラシツールにて
    ユーザー定義のライブラリから設定したブラシを使用して線を描画

    選択ツールなどに切り替えて移動などを行う

    もう一度塗りブラシツールに切り替えると、基本ブラシや別のユーザー定義ブラシに勝手に切り替わる

    この仕様かバグの修正をお願いしたいです。

    illustrator2018にはこの仕様はありません。

    環境はmacbook pro 2016 OS10.15.5 です。

    イラストの仕事で一番頻繁に使うのが塗りブラシツールなので
    これが修正されないとillustrator2020にいつまでも移行できずにいます。

    ご対応していただける事を願っております。

  3. It's 2020. Why is it still impossible to scale a graph with the free transform tool.

    It's an insult to designers, especially in the age of data, that we can't properly use the graph tool without having to enter the data and officially break it before having the ability to scale it like any other vector object. Please get with the program and make it a scalable vector with data intact and editable.

  4. Align to dropdown not working

    Version: 24.3 (64-bit)

    Expected behaviour: Change the 'Align to' dropdown between 'Selection' and 'Artboard'

    Actual behaviour: The 'Align to' dropdown in the Align panel only updates when multiple objects are selected.

  5. Text locks after resizing

    When I resize a single line text object with the selection tool, the text becomes immediately locked, and I'm unable to click on it to move or resize it further. The only way to select the object is to CMD+2 every other object and then select all. Even then, the text can't be moved/resized, just deleted.

  6. Edit Multiple Gaps at once not possible

    When a selection contains Dashed Lines with different Dash lengths, but equal Gaps, the Gaps can not be edited together.

    Ai copies the entered Gap value to the Dash size.

  7. Change Illustrator paste offset distance to closer to cursor inside of viewing area

    Illustrator often pastes objects randomly outside of my viewing area, and I have to zoom out and scroll over to get it. I want to change the offset distance so it pastes inside my view area, not outside of it. OR, make it paste near where the cursor is, not way off somewhere.

  8. Paths not dividing / uniting correctly (jittery paths)

    It seems that with more complex paths, using the unite and divide Pathfinder tools create jittery shapes (when you zoom in very very close, you can see that the merging / division isn't perfect and that shapes have been disfigured). Same with paths / shapes where smooth corner have been used: use of Pathfinder tool is going to disfigure them. (posted to the support on Twitter)

    If this does happen for you, please open your Pathfinder panel’s options and change the Precision value it has. Lowering the values improves results, especially on very long curved segments, but also increases the overall time a complex pathfinder operation takes.

    Please comment below if this advice helps — the team can use this feedback to reconsider the default value.

  9. magic wand nonfunctional

    The magic wand tool has never worked. It does nothing. No matter what option is enabled or what I click on, it is non functional.

  10. Direct Selection tool duplicating when trying to drag

    Ill 24.2.1
    Catalina 10.15.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)

    Illustrator shut down so I rebooted. After reboot when I try to drag something with the Direct Select tool, it makes a duplicate and drags it instead.

  11. Keyboard commands & tools

    Hello

    Previous Ai update came with an issue where I can't fully hide edges unless objects are grouped which, to me, is an inefficiency. There were other glitches as well, which appear to have been resolved with the closely-following most recent update.

    However, most recent came with its own surprises, eg lost: Spacebar hand-tool shortcut, CMD/CMD+Option +spacebar for zoom in/out; horizontal/vertical distribution tool aligns center vs distributing evenly; show/hide issue still present (see attached).

    Also attached are system basics. Advise if you require more info

    Kind regards
    tm

  12. Reflect dialog box randomly changes settings

    macOS Catalina 10.15.5
    AI CC 24.2

    Using Reflect to transform several objects. Prior settings don't persist when opening the Reflect dialog box. Instead AI randomly changes between Horizontal, Vertical and Angle settings. Please fix.

  13. Numerical scaling off by a factor of 10

    Latest Illustrator 2020 update / Windows 10 Pro

    Scaling using the top bar 'Shape' section is playing up since the last update.

    If I select the size and type in '50%' it scales to '5%', '10%' scales to 1%. If I type '/2' it goes to 5% and so on...

    If I type '/2' after the size, it scales correctly, but if I put a percentage after the size it goes 10x smaller than it should.

    Same issue with Transform under Properties Tab.

    Object>Transform>Scale works normally.

    I've tried on both new and existing files.

  14. White selection tool: getting an error message that the entire item must be selected.

    When I use the white selection tool, to grab an edge of shape to nudge it, I'm getting an error message that the entire item along a path must be selected.

  15. The lines appear to be drawn when touching on the screen, but once pen is released the lines disperse

    The lines appear to be drawn when touching on the screen, but once brush is released from the surface, the lines disperse as if they were never drawn,

  16. Brush not working with dual monitor setup

    1. Illustrator v 24.1.1
    2. My brush pen doesn't line up to where my pen touches on the screen. I am using a touchscreen monitor on a desktop computer. The brush works in photoshop and every other program but illustrator.
    3. I would like to use the brush in illustrator for drawing
    4. The brush is about 2-3 inches away from where I touch the screen almost like it's treating my two monitors as one, always pulling toward the center of the two screens.

  17. Shape Builder deletes line sections that should stay.

    I have a complex design with a bunch of overlapping parts and I'm trying to use shape builder to connect sections together. when I select all my lines, then start to build my shapes, it will start deleting lines that are not part of the shape I'm working on. Usually these lines are part of the line I'm working on, but outside of the shape I'm trying to build. The lines aren't highlighted while I'm selecting the pieces of the shape, but disappear anyway. I have tried breaking the line between the shape I'm building and the lines that I…

  19. Adding Points and deleting point on path does not work after Command Z

    When I make a mistake adding a point or deleting point to a path I usually use COMMAND Z to undo. After the Undo I am not able to add a new point to the path. I get an Alert and it blocks me from adding a new point.
