  1. Alt-drag from a CC library to an artboard to create a linked object doesn't work reliably

    Really there should have been an option to keep the previous behaviour when you changed dragging from a CC library to create a linked rather than embedded object. However in the absence of this the workaround to get embedded objects must be reliable and it's not in Illustrator 28.5 64-bit Windows 11 Pro. This makes using CC libraries to store & share assets virtually unusable in the current versions when your workflows involve a lot of this.

    — sometimes following the above actions correctly creates an embedded object.
    — sometimes following the identical steps still creates a linked object.…

  2. Creative Cloud Libraries — duplicated library asset not visible in filtered Libraries palette view

    When I have a search filter applied in the Libraries palette in Adobe Illustrator to show only assets whose names start with "icn", and I right-click to duplicate one of the filtered assets, the newly created duplicate asset does not appear in the filtered Libraries palette view. The duplicate is created successfully, but is not shown in the current search results. To see the new asset, I have to retype the "icn" search filter, at which point the duplicate becomes visible.

    Expected result:
    After duplicating a library asset, the newly created duplicate should be immediately visible in the…

  3. Unwanted Artwork when placing a CC Library asset and when exporting as SVG

    I remember voting and commenting on a UV report mentioning this with CC libraries, but cannot find it anymore.
    Lately there have been 2 forum posts mentioning unexpected artwork added to an SVG export.
    I suspect that the New Document Profile that they use contains the artwork, at least I can replicate that behaviour, but I have not seen that confirmed by the posters.
    Add artwork to a new document profile and it will appear on assets export to SVG and when alt dragged from a CC Library.

  4. Renamed asset does not change link name in the cloud link

    I dragged objects into the Library window to create a graphic asset in Illustrator and it's given a default name of "Artwork 1". I then renamed the file to "rename-test" and then dragged it into both an InDesign file and a blank illustrator file, and I noticed that the listed name says "rename-test" in the Libraries window in both apps, but the actual link name is still listed as "Artwork 1.ai". Why doesn't it show up as "rename-test.ai" in the Link window?

    Screenshot 1 from Ai:
    showing default name in Library window as "Artwork 1.ai"

    Screenshot 2 from Ai:
    showing…

  5. libraries changes my units from inches to pixel

    Everytime I put an asset into the library and then open that asset the units are in points instead of the original inches it was created in.

  8. Older name is used in Share for Review

    When sending for review, I have shared it with my alternate email, and it keeps pulling up my former name- this was changed on my account setting in google admin, as well as my contacts list. How can I find out where it is finding and autopoulating my old name?

  9. Can't open file / The account you signed in with doesn't have access to this file

    "Contact the owner for more info"... But I am on the owner of the file!
    People with whom I shared for Edit can also not access.
    I created this file and saved it on the Cloud about 1 year ago. It contains all interfaces for a client's project! It's a huge issue if we cannot recover it!

    Can someone help!
    Much appreciated :-)

    Regards,

    Vh.

  10. Get the color wheel cloud to work properly

    I teach 5th grade and we made color using the Adobe Color wheel. Then when we went into our libraries in Illustrator those palettes showed up for only about 1/2 the kids. No idea why. When I did it I also did not get the colors I saved to show up in my Illustrator color library. Even weirder when I open Illustrator on a Windows device (instead of Mac) the color DO show up.

  11. Can't Delete User Defined Swatches

    I can't seem to find a way to delete my user defined swatches (or brushes) from the adobe library. Even when i look in my Mac Library folder I can't find where they are stored to delete them that way. I've tried saving over them with new ones by the same name but that just duplicated them. It would be nice if there was an easier way to organize + delete swatches, but I feel like Adobe makes a lot of features unnecessarily complicated.

  15. There's a problem creating a NEW link to share the document after the initial link has been created.

    If you open an exiting document that has been shared with a link, resave the file with a new name, make changes, then try to create a new link, you will get an error.

  17. Keyword Search on CC Libraries Not Working

    Keyword Search on CC Libraries is not working. The input area franked by Magnifier icon above the asset thumbnails does not accept any input. Clicks on that area gives zero interface response.
    This keyword search is important for many users who has a project library contains over 300 assets like mine. Much more so when CC Libraries provides the order-reshuffling group-invalidating default feature for any attempt to relinking assets.
    The only functional part there is "Search In" criteria drop down arrow on the right.
    Currently, it's happening on Illustrator version 27.4.1 but this issue has persisted across previous versions.

  20. PMS LAB swatch in Library changes to CMYK when used

    I’m having issues with my Pantone swatch in Adobe Illustrator’s Library. The swatch is saved to the Library with LAB settings, but when I select it it converts to CMYK forcing me to change it back to LAB and reenter the values every time I use it. I have hundreds of files that need Pantone colors which makes it a waste of valuable time. I’m attaching a youtube link of my screen to show what is happening. https://youtu.be/Pv4G7II95BM Is there a setting I need to use to solve this problem? Also, I’m using Illustrator 2023 (27.3.1) and Mac OS (10.15.7).
