  4. Grid Repeat becomes Non-Native Art after exiting and reopening the file .

    Windows 10 OS and Latest version of Illustrator (April 19th, 2021).

    I created a grid repeat of a object group. Then saved the file. Then closed the file. Upon reopening the file the grid repeat has become a non-native art object which I cannot edit.

    The result was utter frustration.

  8. inconsistent covert to artboard

    If I attempt tp select a pattern inner boundry to convert to an artboard it doesn't always work. In fact I have to keep tapping it like some secret atari code and maybe it only takes 2 min or maybe it never happens and I have to turn off the computer before I smash it. Please make the conversion to an artboard easier, or at least make it easier to export patterns into a file for use elsewhere. Right now you have 100s of different ways to do it and they each have a problem. This was the best way,…

  9. Bug in Illustrator v 25.2.1 - Under Type > Font. Font menu option inactive

    Upon clicking the Type>Font menu option, nothing happens. Used to bring up list of fonts. Apparently, the person responsible for menu functionality wasn't thorough enough to include it the latest update.

  10. Locking everything exept one vector

    Hi, week ago i updated from AI 2015 to AI 2021 and had this issue a couple of times, while isolating a vector i get stuck in it, everything else becomse grayish and i cant get back in to all the layers, i can interact with them however theres gray over all of them, hope the image explains it better. If i save the file and close it and open it its still the same problem, i guess its some feature, but i don't know how to deactivate it and haven't found any help online. Thanks!

  11. Will not change stroke color

    I am trying to trace an object on illustrator but it will not let me change the color of the stroke, it will not even bring up the color swatches in the normal stroke panel for me to click on. I have tried resetting essentials classic, resetting preferences, and changing the view.

    There is nothing wrong with the file, as I can tell...

    The Swatches panel is empty indeed, the only swatch in it is the sport RGB white. Perhaps somebody deleted them to save some file size?

    If you want to have default swatches though, you can load them back.

    Open Swatches panel, click the 'bookshelf' 'Swatch Libraries menu' button, locate 'Default Swatches' and choose 'Web'. Now you can select a swatch you need directly from the opened panel, or drag-n-drop a selection of swatches you need into the main Swatches panel.

    Please comment back.

  18. Ich vermisse den einfachen Einstieg in Illustrator

    Warum ist es auf einmal nicht mehr möglich ein simples Dokument in A4 in Illustrator zu öffnen. Schon ziemlich dämlich gemacht. Wer will denn immer diese Vorlagen? Kreativ geht auch anders!! Kann ich das irgendwie ändern? Das ist einfach nur doof!

  19. Features we could easily do without

    My idea is to limit the bad ideas. Such as "Invite to Edit." besides the fact that every good artist knows that design-by-committee yields bad designs all you have to do is send the file to the user you want to collaborate with! It's not a feature!!! We could already do it just fine and we didn't have to throw our intellectual property into a cloud which could be stolen or compromised by anyone at any time. The way Adobe's programs crash all the time do you think I'm going to entrust my clients files to your cloud? if I…

  20. オブジェクト(主にテキスト)が選択できない

    打ち込みをしたテキストが選択できないことが多々発生しております。
    その部分は印刷もできないので文字が抜けたまま出力し現場に回ってしまうという業務に支障が出ています。
    保存をして落とし再び立ち上げると問題は解決するのですが毎回その動作をするわけにもいかず、必ず不具合が起こっているわけでもないので困っています。これはPCの問題でしょうか?ご回答お願いします。(著作権等の問題で一部しか画像がのせれません)
