Spot Colors in Linked or Embedded Images can be Renamed in Swatches Palette, breaking functionality Double clicking a spot swatch in the Swatches Palette allows you to rename the swatch. In past versions, Illustrator would not allow you to rename the spot swatch if it was used in a linked or embedded image. Now the spot swatch can be renamed whether or not it is used in an image. There is no warning that the spot being renamed is in use. After renaming the spot swatch, the Swatches Palette does not show the spot actually used in the image. Changing the color values of the spot swatch before renaming changes the appearance of the image,…

The colors in the closed file are persistently and almost forcibly trying to enter the palette. Let's say a spot color was used in a previous work and somehow copied. Later, when the file job is finished and I start another new job even though I have closed it, the copied color in the closed file persistently and almost forcibly tries to enter the palette. I tried to describe it simply in the video.

Eyedropper STILL not wroking on grouped objects in Illustrator 24.2.3 When using the eyedropper on grouped objects, it'll show correctly in the color panel, but it'll only apply the stoke color to the group. Please fix this! The eye dropper has not worked for grouped objects for way too long now.

Freeform gradient fill disappears on select all action - OS: Windows Version: 10.0 System Architecture: x64 Illustrator v 23.0.6 (64-bit)
- I used a freeform gradient fill to fill a path and upon doing a select all to group a few different paths and shapes for easier movement or duplication, the fill of the path disappears and I need to either rebuilt the gradient or re-load the file as even doing CTRL+Z doesn't bring back the gradient
- The expected result is that the gradient remains as it was when doing a select all (Either through CTRL+A or using the Selection Tool)
- The Fill for the path disappears and the freeform…

Generic Color Palate I am using the newest version of Illustrator. Within the last week or so, my generic CMYK color palette has changed. The percentages that make up the color are different on nearly every color. My black color swatch used to be 100% black. Now it is C:74.97 M:67.92 Y:67.05 K:90.15. Everything in my document is set to CMYK. I changed nothing. My yellow is C:6.18 Y:96.55. It used to be 100% yellow. All of the colors have this issue. Please let me know how I can get this back to the normal way. I've been using Illustrator for the last…

Patern Maker's Numeric Scaling Is Broken I'm creating a step and repeat wall using 2 graphics.
In a brick by column pattern, individual graphics can't be scaled using the menu dialog (Object>Transform>Scale).
However, they can be scaled using the tool panel's scale tool (keyboard shortcut s).
Entering precise scaling measurements that are supported in earlier versions of Illustrator would be appreciated!

color on screen looks different if cmyk or spot this is a problem i found in illustrator, indesign and photoshop cc.
i create a gradient, say from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0). (the color is not important)
than i create another gradient, from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0), but spot color.
than i active 'overprint preview'.
on screen, the 2 color look different, and it's wrong.
we have the same color, the same gradient, so it MUST look the same.5 votes -

Opacity bug AI CC 2018
I turned the opacity down on a selection to see below layers. Then I went to work on below layers. Upon returning to original layer and re-selecting the object to return it to 100% opacity it showed I was already at 100%. I could not get it back to 100% until I copied and pasted the object to a new layer.5 votesHi,
It seems like opacity is applied on the Layer and not on the object inside that layer. It is possible that the user is selecting object inside the layer and not the layer itself. Hence the user is able to see the opacity of object which is 100% in this case and not the changed opacity of layer.

Saving to Creative Cloud is Changing My Patterns This has to do with repeating patterns. I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2021, desktop.
Attached is a picture of 2 circles on a background (shield your eyes, it isn't pretty :-)). When I make the pattern - in this case, the circles were drawn with the blob brush - the inside of the 2 circles is empty and we can all see the background. It's a ring. When I pull that pattern out of swatches, however, it will color in that background. In this one, it's black. It changes depending on the pattern and the colors I'm using. And it is…4 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 which is available worldwide now.

Freeform gradient doesn't export to svg When using a freeform gradient in Adobe Illustrator (desktop) it does not export to svg. Instead it takes out the gradient and leaves the fill empty.

Color Profile Keeps Changing Hi,
My RGB colour settings keep changing back to display. I have the original file set up as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and when I copy and past anything in I get a warning if there are any colour mismatch issues. If there are any issues I click assign working profile. When I close and reopen that file it has now changed to Display.
I'm using
macOS Catalina Version 10.15.17
Illustrator Version 25I'm work on branding projects so it's important that colors are consistent. How do I get illustrator to stop changing my color profiles?

Eyedropper tool to show color values on hover like Photoshop does Please can you make the eyedropper work how Photoshop does so that when you hover the tool over your artwork, it shows the color values of what is under the cursor in the Info panel. You can get the info by clicking but would be really useful with gradients to see what that specific value is rather than it picking up the gradient when you click.
