  1. CC Libraries import yields progress indicator for thumbnail

    With the most recent release of Illustrator (23.1.1) on a Mac running Catalina 10.15 Beta, any time I drag an item into the Libraries panel, a thumbnail fails to appear (instead I get a persistent animated progress indicator). I'm able to see the correct thumbnail of the imported item in other Adobe apps (Photoshop and InDesign), as well as online (Libraries --> View on Website). Only after I restart Illustrator do they appear.

  2. Fix Adobe Illustrator CC 2020 Type Library Reference - VB scripts return error

    We need to always keep the version of Adobe Illustrator CC up to date.
    Recently, the CC version used by the company has been upgraded from 2019 to 2020.

    We use the attached .NET Illustrator library module.

    As with other similar cases, I believe Adobe will solve it.

    Older versions work fine.

  5. Can't preview new graphic assets in Libraries within Illustrator

    When I add a new graphic asset to an existing Library, I cannot get a preview of it until I restart the program. Instead, I get the animated square indicating that the preview is being generated, but it never refreshes. I often have multiple CC programs open, and the graphic is always immediately reviewable in Photoshop and InDesign, so this is limited to Illustrator in my experience.

    I am running Mac OS 10.15.1
    Illustrator 23.1.1

  6. Fonts missing and say I need to re log in

    When I open a past project from creative cloud folder It directs me to find a missing font. But the font finder doesn't sync to my library. Now Im stuck with a missing font on a logo project that just messed my whole design up. Plus when I export the project as a export safe for web... png 24 the file export look pixellated and not a vector file.

  7. CC Libraries panel doesn't respond when clicked

    My CC Libraries opens, shows me everything but when I click on let's say a color to swap it does nothing. None of the libraries work. It's like the I'm clicking in a ghost swatch or something. I even reinstalled illustrator to see if it would help. Nothing. Bug or fixable?

  9. Editing Library-Item Name prompts "Move Object" pop up.

    After the most recent update to Adobe Illustrator (v. 23.0) on Windows 64-bit system. Every time I name/rename an object added to my Library panel, on hitting 'Enter/Return' to save the change and leave the edit state, the 'Move Object' pop-up appears (and I have to close it to return to what I was doing.

    As I've been adding a series of icons to my Adobe CC Library, this is a very tedious process to close this pop-up every. single. time.

    Please fix. Thank you :)

  10. Illustrator Library Place Copy a Vector Broken

    Illustrator 23.0.0.1 (64 bit) - Windows.

    I have created some custom icons. Saved them as SVG.
    Opened up these SVGs and then added to a Library.
    On click place copy on a new art board. The vector is totally corrupt. (see attachment.)
    The icons are correctly designed and all lines expanded.
    If I place link they appear fine. (obviously I then cannot edit)
    If I click edit they appear fine. (Using edit to open then cut and paste at the moment)

  11. Text entry error when naming Adobe CC library items

    First of all, great to see CC libraries getting some love with the addition of groups. I'd love to see further refinements, as I use CC libraries for all projects.

    One issue I'm having with V23.01 on a Mac (Mojave V10.14.3) is with naming CC library items I've just dragged into the Libraries panel. The behavior I'd expect to see would be for the new item's name field to get keyboard focus, allowing me to immediately type in the name of the item I'd just added.

    Currently, the item gets a default name (e.g. "Artwork 1," "Artwork 2," etc.). If…

  13. initializing Creative Cloud Libraries

    Something went wrong. Libraries frequently states "Something went wrong initializing Creative Cloud Libraries".

    I have to frequently restart creative cloud (CRTL+ALT+R).

    I will be working on a PDF(with cloud working), save exit PDF, open PDF only to find i cannot access my cloud files. Super annoying!

  14. Libraries Panel broken

    Although the Libraries panel is open, I cannot select another library, it's stuck on the same one. When I pull up the menu to choose another and click on it, nothing changes. Been like this for a few weeks now.

  16. Libraries stuck in "Add Multiple Assets"

    macOS Mojave 10.14.3

    This happens to me daily. My entire CC library will grey out and is stuck with the "add multiple assets" icon. I can kind of see what's underneath, but in order to get rid of this, I have to completely quit illustrator and reopen.

    Adobe Stock library window is crashing when trying to group elements together. I have experienced this on many occasions and on different computers and was hoping this would be solved in the latest release.

  18. Libraries now converts all my saved Spot CMYK swatches to RGB.

    I can no longer bring in my previously made Spot CMYK swatches as CMYK. All my spot color swatches are converted to RGB. I can create new spot CMYK swatches that come in properly in a newly created library but anything created in the past or in a previously made library is now all RGB.

  20. CC library window blanks out after trying to edit files.

    Adobe Illustrator CC 23.0.2, WIndows 10 Enterprise version 17032.

    Tried right clicking onto a file in a CC library file to 'edit', CC library window closes immediately. Tried to open again from the Windows tab, CC library window is void of any files and folders. It appears blank.
    This only happens if I tried to 'edit'. If I place any files directly from CC library it's fine.
