  2. Placed graphic glitch

    Placing a 1-bit BMP image and rotating in Ill2018 results in a broken image. Toggling the GPU Preview on fixes the appearance on screen, but exporting to JPG, the issue transfers to the output image.
    I have a video @ http://www.veoh.com/watch/v139306245XMJBdwyS

    I am using a Mac Pro (late 2013) and Illustrator 2018 22.1

  5. Screen rendering issue w/ Illustrator CC 22.1

    If I have the "GPU Performance" enabled, my screen goes crazy with just glitches and artifacts everywhere. As soon as I deactivate the GPU rendering, everything is going to be normal again.

    My specs :
    Macbook Pro 15" mid 2014
    2,8 Ghz Intel Core i7
    16 Gb ram
    mac OS 10.11.6
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB

    I use a dual monitor setup (laptop + an external 23" 1080p monitor). The issue described above only occurs on my 23" (non retina) monitor. I found a temporary trick: I have to drag the affected window on my laptop screen (where everything…

  6. Zoom issue

    When zooming in from 3200% to 6400% or more, this line starts acting weird. The stroke should not be outside of the path line, but it seems like it's having a rendering issue or something. Seems like it might be a problem only when previewing on CPU. I switched to GPU preview and it's fine, but if I switch back it looks like the attachment

  7. Ai artboards all look like someone took an eraser over them.

    Ai CC2018. Opening any file sent by my teacher for class, I am the only student in class whose artboard looks like someone took an eraser over it. We've checked for hidden layers, etc. to no avail. I cannot even find the uninstall option to uninstall and reinstall it. Can someone help? I'm running Mac 10.13.2.

  8. Hard crash GPU rendering MBP2016 - High Sierra

    I run a cleanly installed MBP2016:

    High Sierra 10.13.4
    3.3GHz i7
    16GB ram
    1TB SSD

    Illustrator Version 22.1

    On the current version of OS en Illustrator, but also for the past couple of releases I have experienced very frequent hard crashes of Illustrator when GPU preview is enabled.

    At random times, Illustrator will freeze, immediately after the entire system and only a hard reboot will bring it back.

    The phenomenon is frequent yet completely random (no obvious triggers).

    Disabling GPU preview immediately stops this from occurring.

    No obvious logs are generated during the event but I can run sysdiagnose if…

  11. Bizarre Issues with Fonts and Rendering; Creative Cloud

    Subject: Bizarre Issues with Fonts and Rendering; Creative Cloud

    Illustrator 2018 CC 22.0.1
    Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6
    Suitcase Fusion 19.0.4 (6333)

    iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
    3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5
    24GB DDR3

    I’m not sure when this started - possibly when the recent update for Creative Cloud occurred. One day I was unable to take a screenshot without it looking distorted and something strange happened with my screen in the top navigation bar - again all distorted. I had to restart.

    Recently I couldn’t sign into Creative Cloud as it was greyed out. Had to restart.

    Now…

  12. Illustrator cc 2018 does not work correctly with the Nvidia GF 610m graphics card.

    The program closes with an error when selecting the brush tool. Is there any solution to this problem? I know about switching to an integrated graphics card, but its performance is very small. I noticed the same thing when working with nvidia in illustrator, the tooltip does not show any hints, just the new dialog for creating a new document does not appear (only the advanced one works or the old one works, I do not know how it is called correctly).

  13. Random path shown at 315° angle on closed object

    Illustrator CC 22.0.1 This has happened occasionally in the past few versions.
    I'll create an object with the pen tool, and close the object. When I zoom to make modifications on the path I sometimes see a path shoot off to the right at ~315° from one of the anchor points and it looks like the path connecting two anchor points isn't there. As I move it around or zoom out it'll disappear, but if I move back it comes back. Editing the object isn't affected, but it is highly visually distracting. Attached video file illustrates.

  14. path view

    Version: Illustrator CC 2018 22.0 (Standard)
    Illustrator does not show a path view. When I select Path View, the object is no longer selectable and no path view is displayed.
    It's the same with every file, both simple and brand new.
    It didn't work in the previous version either.
    In older versions it worked without any problems.

  15. DrawArt Suite issue on OS 10.13 and CC 2018

    I'm using the AIDrawArtSuite to render objects in my plug-in.

    This function works fine on windows and os x for CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017 and CC 2018 except for macOS 10.13

    On my macbook pro 2014 with a nvidia card and OS 10.13.2, the result is not correct.
    If I'm disabling the GPU performance, the result is now correct.

  17. Sierra (macOS 10.12.6) GPU rendering issues for Illustrator CC 2018

    I recently upgraded to CC 2018, and I've been having issues with pathfinder as well as how paths are being displayed. Attached is a shot of what's occurring...this phenomenon not only happens in new edits since udpdating, but is showing up in files that did not display this way previously.

    Most likely cause would be graphics driver on your machine. Please upgrade graphics drivers to see it resolves the issue. If it still does not. Please get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .
    Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

  19. Disappearing Content

    After zooming in or isolating objects, other objects disappear upon zooming out. I have to select and isolate invisible objects in order for them to reappear.
