  3. Add Anchor Points adds sharp points on smooth curves (and converts smooths to sharps)

    If I have an circle with 4 smooth points and use Add Anchor Points command to add points to it, all new four point become sharp instead of smooth.

    Also, there are reports that Ai also convert original smooth points to sharp also, and this behaviour differs from platform to platform.

  4. Click-drag fails... snaps back

    Click-drag, click-opt (copy) drag, click-shift (constrained) drag fails... snaps back.

    Click on object to drag it either with or without option and/or shift and sometimes it will fail and snap back to its original position.

    Mac mini M1
    MacOS 12.2.1 Monterey
    Apple Magic Mouse (no Wacom or other third party drivers)

    Same behavior on two identical machines.

    Works fine with v26.0.3.

  5. Ctrl+click on a Gradient tool icon in a toolbar to reset gradient doesn’t work

    We were able to Ctrl+click the Gradient tool button to reset gradient to default black-and-white, as stated here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html
    Now only Ctrl-clicking the preview in Gradient panel works.

  6. Please Fix: Function "create outline" unpredictably results in pixel error

    Converting a path by the "create outline" function unpredictably results in pixel errors. See pictures:
    Pic1.: Path object in pixel preview. Position is correct.
    Pic2.: Result after applying "create outline" function.
    Position of outline path is wrong in fourth place after comma leading to a grey fragment. The only solution is to repair every outline in a very time consuming process. In my view is a critical error when trying to work pixel perfect. Please solve this issue!

  8. "Corner" anchor points become smooth when joining active Curvature Tool line

    Create a line that contains a corner (any tool).
    Begin drawing a second line with the Curvature Tool.
    As part of your new Curvature Tool line, click either end of the first line.

    This causes a conversion of corner points to smooth points.

    I posted this issue on stack exchange (see link below) and was told this was a bug. It certainly wouldn't make sense as a feature, so that seems like a legitimate conclusion.

  9. Mising Anchor Points not sure why

    I am running the latest version of Illustrator CC from my Windows 10 PC. It is a project that I have been working on, both my computer and on my Ipad. I don't know if it is that I recently added materials from Substance on the computer, used the 3D options, then went to make changes on the Ipad later on, but now opening the document on the computer again, I am not getting any anchor points when using the direct selection tool. I checked all my preferences, then I opened a file saved to my computer, and the anchor…

    Hi All,


    Thanks for reporting a crash you faced in Illustrator.

    Based on your report, Illustrator is crashing when you are trying to edit a graph.

    Can you please help us with a sample AI file and steps you follow to get this crash? It would help if you could share a sample video of the crash as well. This will help us to reproduce it in-house and fix it.


    With Best Regards,

  13. Eyedropper not working.

    Eyedropper is not working. I'm trying to copy text attributes and stroke attributes and it copies the white from the artboard.

    OS: Monterey 12.1
    Illustrator 2022 26.0.3
    Using eyedropper to copy stroke (weight and dashed stroke) and text attributes (typeface and color) and doesn't respond
    Doesn't copy the actual attributes of the stroke, it copies the white color of the artboard or grey that I don't know where ir came from. When eyedropping text it copies only the color but not the type properties.
    I'm an experienced Illustrator user, I've been using it since 1998 and this never happened to…

  14. Wacom Eraser not working on Illustrator

    I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.1, and Illustrator 2022 (26.0.2), both recently updated, and for some reason the eraser tip of my Cintiq 13 HD stopped acting like an eraser and it does the same as the pen tip. I tried resetting the settings for both Illustrator and the tablet, but the problem persists.
    For some reason this is not happening on Photoshop, the eraser works as usual.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  15. Windows版Illustratorで図形を描画すると、マウスカーソルの移動に沿って大量に生成される

    OS : Windows 10
    CPU : Core i5-9300H
    GPU : Geforce RTX 2060
    Illustrator : 26.0.2

    Windows版Illustratorで図形を描画する際に、マウスカーソルの移動に沿って図形が大量に生成されてしまいます。

    PC起動直後にIllustratorのみ起動している状態では発生しないことは確認できていますが、上記のバグが発生するタイミングはまちまちであり、どういった条件で発生するかの特定は難しいです。

    以下のフォーラムで報告されている現象と同様です。
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-discussions/%E9%95%B7%E6%96%B9%E5%BD%A2%E3%83%84%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%81%A9%E3%81%AE%E5%9B%B3%E5%BD%A2%E3%83%84%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%A8%E8%BB%8C%E8%B7%A1%E3%81%AB%E6%B2%BF%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E5%A4%A7%E9%87%8F%E3%81%AE%E5%9B%B3%E5%BD%A2%E3%81%8C%E5%87%BA%E6%9D%A5%E3%82%8B/m-p/8631161?profile.language=ja

  16. 複数レイヤーの要素に対して同時に「パスの自由変形」を行うとレイヤーから要素が消えてしまう / Free Transform in distort mode forces objects from different layers to move into the top one

    環境
    OS: Windows10
    AI version 24.1.1(2020)および26.0.2(2022)

    再現手順
    1.複数のレイヤーにある複数の要素を同時に選択
    2.[自由変形ツール]→[パスの自由変形]で、ガイドのコーナーをドラッグし要素を変形する

    期待する結果
    変形前の元レイヤーに変形後も同様の構成で要素が残る(グループ化しない)version 23(2019)以前の挙動

    実際の結果
    上のレイヤーに要素がグループ化され、他のレイヤーから選択した要素が消えてしまう

    要望
    レイヤー構成を変えずにパスの自由変形で複数レイヤーにわたる要素を調整する必要があります。
    複数レイヤーの要素が選択されている場合は、グループ化せずに元のレイヤーに要素が残るように修正をお願いいたします。

  17. デザインが表示されなくなる

    環境: M1 Mac mini OS 12.1 / Illustrator 26.0.2

    ピクセルビューにして300%以上ズームするとなにも表示されなくなる。また、比較的パスやオブジェクトが多いデータについては100%時でもなにも表示されなくなってしまう。CS6ではちゃんと表示されます。GPUにしてもCPUレンダリングでも結果は同じです。

  18. Adobe Illustrator Online Preview Bugs

    Hi, I've been facing some problems with the feature that allows to other people preview the file on the web without Adobe. It's an important feature to my company since they can comment and review my work, yet there seems to have lots of problems in the formating. The first 2 images are from the Adobe Illustrator and the other 2 are from the online preview:

  19. Round Corners prevent a narrow bar from transforming

    Please open the file attached.
    Make sure that you have Bounding Box on, and Scale Corners off.

    1. Select any one of the green bars.
    2. Try to make it shorter or longer, using bounding box (that is grab the center marker on the a short side) — works fine.
    3. Select the dark red long bar.
    4. Try to transform in the same manner — and fail. The bar gets only longer, and can't be made shorter (or shorter back).
    5. Make the red bar slightly wider or select the orange bar, it is a wider copy of the red one.
    6. Try to make…
