  4. Application de nuances sur objets groupés

    Problème nouveau : L'application d'une nouvelle nuance sur le fond et/ou le contour d'objets groupés ne semble plus changer la couleur de l'objet lui-même.
    Ainsi lorsque je sélectionne un objet après modification de la couleur du groupe il a conserve sa couleur initiale. Je ne vois pas l'utilité et cela complique la colorisation sur de grands nombres d'objets.

  6. Anchor Point w/ Tools Not Working

    I am using the latest verion of Illustrator on my updated Macbook 15.0, and I have to hand in a project BUT the anchor points are suddenly not working for pen, curvature, or anchor point tool. I dont know exactly how to explain it but when I try to add a line to my layer it doesnt set the anchor point where I want it, and doesnt add lines where I want them to be. When I try to move them they are very rigid in where to go, and I cant edit how long/short they are. Has anyone else…

  7. Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute

    Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute.

    WHY IT IMPORTANT?

    All screen printing industry works with same Predefined spot colors, some of them isn’t exist in Pantone solid colors palette (like a White, and a Base) some exist, like a Black, but much more simple to make a custom spot Black color - when you make a color separation and printing films with HOST SEPARATION option on

    So for speed up the process - I’ve decided to make a small & simple action, which will create three predefined custom spot colors: Spot White, Base, and Spot Black. In the…

  9. Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files

    I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
    However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.

    I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working…

  11. No option to stop recording an action when resetting workspace

    When recording an action with Button Mode unchecked in the actions panel, there is currently no way to stop recording the action if you reset your Workspace with your Workspace having button mode enabled. As far as I know, there are also no hotkeys to start/stop recording for Actions either. Forced to restart Illustrator otherwise.

  13. Action shortcuts are lost when rearranging action sets

    If I manually rearrange the order of my Action Sets by dragging a set up or down in the list, all the shortcuts assigned to the actions in this set are lost.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 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

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  14. 'Fit to Artwork Bounds' doesn't work in action command

    Illustrator 2020 won't crop the artboard to the illustration limit with an action.

    I need to make an action which:
    - Selects all
    - Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds
    Not implemented.

  15. Trim view is not available to record in the Actions

    Trim view is not available to record in the Actions window. Solving this would hugely benefit my workflow, by making trim view a recorded action and giving it a shortcut.

  16. Find and replace text via action

    Find and replace text via action does not record OR play as expected

    Recording a find and replace operation records the find and replace dialog box twice (shows up in the action twice) and when playing the action, the only thing that happens is the find portions, the replacement text portions are completely ignored.

    Note that this only seems to be the case when using "replace all" button in the dialog. Using the "replace" button seems to record and play correctly, even though the list of operations/options shown in the actions pallet is identical for both.

    I found a forum…

  17. Undo affects loaded actions, Redo makes them loose their shortcuts

    It is telling when "Actions" is not even included in the "category" menu.

    Load a saved Action set that includes Actions with keyboard shortcuts
    Perform an "Undo" in AI
    The Actions you just installed will be deleted
    Perform a "Redo"
    The Actions will reappear but without keyboard shortcuts.

    First: "Undo" should NOT affect the Actions.

    Second: What is the deal with the lost Shortcuts??????

    I am looking for a compelling reason to "upgrade" Illustrator. I am told this bug still exists in CC 2019!

  19. Actions ignore dash settings

    When action is created to change line to eg. Dash 20pt, Gap 20pt, Align dashes to corners and path ends and action is run on a file, Illustrator changes only Dash size and ignoring the Gap size and aligment of dashes.
    Another action crated to scale all in a file disproportionaly and action is run, it does not scale disproportionaly - ignores disproportion values.
    Actions cannot be trasted (used to be very good in pre CC version).
