  3. Illustrator CC 2019 Will Not Save or Save As on Mac OS Mojave

    I use a Macbook Pro mid 2015 with 16 GB RAM and Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.4. I just updated from CC 2018 to CC2019 at most a week ago. I wish I could go back, because at least in CC 2018 I could save.

    When I tried saving a file I have already saved before, with this newest version of the program even, it gives me the error message of "file not found." I go and try to open the file, make sure I'm not just working on a different version, and that "file is already open."

    I try to…

  4. Frequent crash Illustrator 2019 23.1.1.

    Crashes 4-8 times a day, just like that. Illustrator crashes even if you just walk away from the computer and do nothing. Then he just closes the program. Without notification. When opening the file again, he will only give a message that he has saved it as a 'recovered' file.

  11. Colors in vector art cannot be changed unless all old swatches are deleted first

    If I want to change certain colors in a vector illustration, I cannot just go into edit colors > recolor artwork and change them. I must first delete the original swatches and then change the colors or else the colors will revert back to their original values. I think that old swatches should be unlinked from artwork if they are changed.

  12. Print Dialog Error Happening Every Day

    Everyday after about four to six hours of use I go to print a file and get this bug. It renders the software unusable and I have to force quit the program and restart to get my recovered files. I really have no idea what is causing this error.

  14. Rotate tool is acting strange

    When using the rotate tool, the angle is in the dialog box (whatever I last used) is automatically applied to my object. If I just try to change the angle it applies that rotation to the new position (based on what I used last), rather than applying the new rotation from the original starting point. I can't even begin to explain what turning preview on and off does, so I included a short screen grab for you. Using Illy version 23.1.1, with MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I also am using the entire sweet of Astute Graphics plugins.

  15. Track type doesnt work after last update

    Hi, our graphic studio has a client-a big financial institution, and his entire visual style is created in a special calligraphic track. After we installed the latest update there is a change within this track. When we click on the illustration/or change its color, the entire track changes and the original style is gone. The attributes of the original track remains the same but there is a change within the style, is looks totally different. It also doesnt work when we choose the track and draw new illustration - it looks different. We also tried to create new document ,…

  16. "File, Edit, Object" etc freezes/doesn't work

    After I worked for a few minutes in Illustrator CC, the bar with File, Edit, Object etc isn't responding and the only way to close Illustrator is by a Force Quit.
    I already deinstalled and reinstalled it 2-3 times, but it doesn't help.

  17. Beachballing for any added effect in Illustrator.

    Any time I add a dropshadow or 3d effect, Illustrator beachballs until I have to restart. I have Mac Mojave 10.14.6. Illustrator 2019. If I use preview it's particularly frustrating.

  18. GPU Preview hangs with simple file

    System specs: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) • GPU Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB • OSX 10.14.6 • Illustrator 23.1.1

    I have an Illustrator file (attached) which is originally imported from a dwg file but doesn't seem to contain that much artwork. Trying to open this file (or preview) with GPU either hangs Illustrator or takes minutes on end to render. The same thing happens if this file is placed in Indesign and GPU preview is on there, even recovering that document after force quitting hangs Indesign.

    I can simply work around this problem by disabling GPU performance from…

  19. Installing previous patch removes custom workspaces

    After installing v 23.0.6 going down from v23.1 using the Creative Cloud app, ALL of my custom workspaces were DELETED. Considering this doesn't happen when going up a version, I wouldn't have thought this would happen going back down to the previous version (still CC 2019). No warnings were given that this would happen.

  20. Problem with center align and arrowheads (v 23.1)

    I have a few simple lines with arrowheads. When I try to use center align to line these elements up, the arrowheads swap ends on some lines. The alignment works, but when I try to undo this, the arrowhead doesn't revert to original direction? This seems to be a bug.
