'Send to current layer' command is disabled when art across several layers is selected
I don't understand why it's limited, I can't see logic behind that, so I put it in Bugs, rather then Ideas.
See, I have some stuff in different layers. I select it, choose a layer, press a hotkey, I intend to collect it all in the selected layer, but nothing happens. WHY?
I have 'Collect in new layer' in Palette menu, but I have no hotkey for it (you guys do everything with mouse? really?) and i don't need a NEW layer, I need existing and selected one, and I have a command for it — ''Send to current layer'…
16 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.0.0 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

Layers’ colors get messed up when moving objects in and out of sublayers
When moving an artwork onto another layer the indicator-color changes as expected. If the new layer however is nested in another layer, and the artwork is moved from the nested layer onto the parent layer, the indicator color remains the nested layers color.
This can be fixed, by closing and opening the childview of the parent layer.
Also this does not apply, if the artwork is moved directly onto the layer and not between existing artworks on that layer.01 - Artwork is moved onto a new layer
02 - New layer is nested in an parent layer

Hiding a layer doesn't hide the guides
Since the Update 27.5 of Illustrator CC all guides oaf any file are showing whether or not their parent layer is visible or not. In my Graphic template i have a base layer for guides of different target sizes, areas and columns which are organized on named layers for each type of guides to easily show/hide them.
since the the last update (27.5 AI on macOS) ALL guides are showing up whether or not the layer containing these guides is hidden or shown which results in showing all guides for 4, 5 and 6 column layouts as well as all…7 votesResolved (Comments Open) ·

Layer Arrow Disappears
When collapsing sub-layers of a layer, the arrow to expand the sub-layers is no longer visible. Clicking the eye would restore the arrow, but this is a bug that should be fixed.

Toggling Layer Visibility Causes Hang
Toggling layer visibility seems to be increasingly difficult for my latest release of the standard Illustrator build. I just tried a complete uninstall/reinstall, and the problem persists. Once I toggle layers on/off without any other active layer visible I get the Mac beach ball/spinning wheel. If I add a blank placeholder layer I have no issues toggling as shown below. This is the current release of Illustrator. I can share one of these files to see if it is setting related or cannot be reproduced, but I had this same issue on a much higher spec’d out PC than my…

Toggling Layer Visibility now Lags Greatly with each New Layer Added after introduction of Search to Layers
In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.
Here's how to reproduce the BUG that has been introduced into ILLUSTRATOR now:
I'm using a - Windows 10 Desktop
Illustrator v 27.6.1
ASUS Laptop with 40 GB of RAM
1TB SSD drives and plenty of scratch disk and page file space.Reproduction Steps:
- create a new Illustrator document 1920x1080

At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.

BUG - free transform tool groups selected layers to 1 layer
When selecting several Layers and using the Free Transform Tool, Illustrator moves all these layers to 1 single layer.
I guess this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?3 votes -
marquee selects empty layers
We are using a document template with nested layers (i.e. all layers are in correct order and properly named before drawing starts)
Marqueeing objects unfortunately selects some empty layers besides those that lead to the artwork. The document info displays the selection correctly, and the attribute panel reports differing notes3 votes -

Unfoldable layers
Illustrator does not display and allow to click unfold arrows next to these layers, despite the objects in them exist in the document.
The other problem is the applied-but-not-displayed gaussian blur, but that’s the different problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794277
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

Send to Current Layer not working - moves entire layer instead of only selected objects
I'm trying to move some objects from one layer to another.
I'm selecting a series of objects, then clicking on the empty layer that I want to move the objects to. I'm choosing Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer. When I do this, instead of only the selected objects moving (expected behavior), all the objects on the layer are sent to the other layer.
(Normally I would simply cut the objects, then use Paste In Front on another layer to paste them in the same position. But these functions are also not working for me - the objects…

Phantom/stuck bounding box
Bounding box appears in unusual places when I'm grouping/ungrouping. Then it gets stuck. I cant deselect it, delete, move, un/group, etc. It stays put and I can't get rid of it. Even when undoing my previous actions.

Copy (or Cut) \ Paste: the object appears on the same layer when another layer is selected.
Hello,
1.
Windows 10, Illustrator 25.2
2.
I have an object\s on layer 1. I copy\cut it. Select layer 2, press Paste - the object Appears on layer 1 and layer 2 is still selected.
3.
It should appear on layer 2 as it was before.
4.
I can not copy\paste objects on another layer, I can only move them in Layer Window.2 votesAs per the comment, this often happens if you enable Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel’s flyout menu. With it turned on, Ai respect the original layers of pasted objects.

fix 'sticky' text boxes within sublayers
Fire up Illustrator 22.0 or 22.1 and create a new document.
Select the Text tool and draw a rectangular area. Fill it with placeholder text. Select the Rectangle tool and draw a filled rectangle (non-overlapping, though it doesn't matter).
Double click some word in the text box and start typing. Then in the Layers panel, click the 'select art' square corresponding to the filled rectangle. The rectangle becomes selected and the text box is deselected and all is good and well.
Deselect everything, hilight the rectangle and textbox objects in the Layers panel, and "Collect in New Layer". This puts…

The layers of my project have disappeared
The fact is that I was working and when performing an action, all the layers of my workbench were deleted. Neither cntl + Z, nor file recovery, nor the files in data to recover a past version help me.

unwanted layer merge
Computer 1 creates a file with 4 layers (Print, reg marks, thru-cut, crease)
Computer 2 opens file and all layers have been merged onto 1 single layer. In fact the other layers don't even exist anymore. Also everything in the merged layer has a clipping mask over it?
Yet when computer 1 opens the file again all the layers are still there.Same versions of illustrator on computers 1 & 2.

Quitte inopinément
Avec le système monterey sur un iMac neuf et récent ainsi que sur iPad M1 neuf, l’appli quitte à la moindre action dès lors qu il y a plusieurs calques. Impossible de travailler professionnellement comme avant. Il s’agit peut-être d’une incompatibilité système et nécessite une mise à jour d’urgence.
