  3. Shortcut cmd + ; = Hide Guides

    cmd + ; = Hide Guides

    Instead of hiding guides, I get Preference window with Units. Is it because of the Danish keyboard? (I don't know how it works) How do I fix this?

  5. "Place" Shortcut Now Remapped To "New From Template"

    1. 22.1
    2. Just minutes ago I posted that shift-command-N did nothing instead of opening a new document from my templates. This time I manually went to the file menu to achieve this. Then after opening my template, I needed to place a graphic and used the prescribed shortcut shift-command-P…
    3. And instead of opening the Place dialog box…
    4. NOW my computer is trying to open a new document from my templates. I have restarted Illustrator and this still is happening. I double checked my shortcut editor and the shortcuts are still set to adobe defaults.

    I am closing the ticket due to lack of response.
    Please get in touch on any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .
    Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

  8. Font Suggestion/Preview Font NOT Working on MAC's

    I select a text box on my art board and go to the character palette to change the font. I was able to use the arrow keys up and down and see the font change on the art board. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.

    Or I was able to start typing a font name into the Character Palette and suggestions would pop up. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.

    I find this very irritating and a difficult way to work. This only happens on my MAC, my PC still works.

    Can anyone help me with…

  9. Linked assets in CC Libraries render "file not readable"

    Having assets linked in CC Libraries renders the master AI file unreadable on another machine, despite being signed in on the same account. If I open the file on the original computer and collect it to a local folder, the file opens. This defeats the purpose of the Library.

  11. Unable to Crop to Artboard when Exporting SVG's through "Export for Screens"

    When exporting my artboards using Export for Screens, I'm unable to crop the artwork to the bounds of the artboard. The thumbnails that show up in the export flow look great, but the output files contain all art elements that are touching the artboard. See screenshots. Output svg attached.

    I go to print a file. Select my printer preset.
    I get the error

  14. Consistent repeat crashes

    Consistent repeat crashes. I'm on a MAC High Sierra. I know my Illustrator 21.1 will at least crash around 10am and 3pm EVERYDAY. It goes through phases where it will crash 4 times a day.

    I am merely opening an Illustrator file from my desktop or in a folder on my desktop that is 1mb -5mb most times when this happens. When clicking on the file and waiting for this small file to open and nothing happens I realize that it's locked up.

    I check the task manager and sure enough it's not responding and I have to force quit…

  16. Issues with changing font type

    I am using Illustrator 22.0.1 to design a logo. I've tried this on both my MacBook Pro and on my iMac and had the same thing happened:

    With the document open, I double-clicked on of the words to get the Type panel to open on the right. I then made my selection with the Type tool and then clicked the font drop down menu to change the font and started scrolling.

    I need to be able to scroll through the font dropdown menu to browse the fonts so I can make a selection.

    Instead, the font menu bugs out and…
