Blending paths with Width profiles works wrong
Create two lines.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.13 votesResolved (Comments Open) ·

Hi,
Based on the information provided by Margaret in the last comment, the issue is not specific to Illustrator but related to Astute's Dynamic Sketch tool. Thus closing the issue for now.

Illustrator not recognizing strokes from imported document using Blend Tool with specified steps
I've imported a document into build 24.3 that was previously created in the latest version of Illustrator, and strokes used in a blend of two lines using a width profile are not present. Instead, they are seen as fills, with no ability to edit the stroke.
Using mid-2012 Mac Book Pro and 10.14.6 Mojave OS

New update, stroke profile bug
Just got the latest update and now my Width profile 3 on stroke settings is adding these little rounded bumps to the corners that were (prior to update) sharp. The end points are also slightly curved. Right side does not have bumps but has same curve when points on this profile used to be sharp. All of my settings and prefs have stayed the same. I use this stroke profile alot so I noticed this issue right away. Please fix. Photo attached.
Thanks

Arrowheads
Latest update breaks 30 years of arrowhead usage and procedure.
I don't want to scroll thru 40 different heads.

Bug with stroke
Hello! I got a bug. When you copy a shape to a new artboard, a stroke appears that cannot be deleted. It is superimposed over the usual stroke. And when you remove the fill and stroke, it remains. The same when reinstalling the program, this problem remains in this file.
P.S. I worked in the latest version of illustrator1 voteThe target layer has an appearance assigned. See comments for details.

Compound path outside stroke becomes a fill at certain shapes and sizes
I have some outlined text. When I give it a stroke aligned to outside, some of the counters are properly stroked, and some appear filled. If I distort the counters that are filled to be larger, they switch to a stroked appearance.

Stroke stays black even when changing colour
Stroke stays black even when colour is changed. Only way to make it another colour is to expand appearance, which means losing original unless saved off the artboard
2 votesProbably it’s the same problem as this one, and you have accidentally created a complex appearance either for the layer or the path. You have to open the Appearance panel and study the stack of attributes.

Glitch in outlining a dotted stroke
macOS Catalina 10.15.1 Illustrator 2020
I made a line, applied dashed line, adjusted gap(2,4) and dash(0,01) to make it look like dots and outlined. Random dots have been cut in half after outlining.
It never happened to me before.3 votes -
Nothing happens when I double click my width tool
When I double click my width tool to try and access my wrinkle tool nothing happens, I am currently trying to design a logo for a company in town, and would very much like the effect the wrinkle tool gives.

Expanding strokes leads to a different result when exporting artwork
Illustrators’ exported image (JPG/PNG tested) is different with when you expand strokes and unit them then export.

Width tool messes up the width points when a path is extended / shortened / cut
Maybe this feature exists already but I haven't been able to find it.
When using the width tool, it would be nice if you could "freeze" the width nodes in their position, so you could extend or shorten the path. Today the nodes adjust to the new length of the path, messing up all your previous work.

'Use Preview Bounds' works wrong with 'Stroke Inside' for Compound Path
If you set set stroke's alignment to inside and check 'Use Preview Bounds' (image 1), AI will draw bounding box (and calculate dimensions) where the stroke would be visible with no alignment (image 2). This is not how it's expected to behave. The box should wrap the shape.

Stroke alignment out of bounds
When drawing objects on top of each other stroke points tend to go out of bounds and are not aligned with other objects in line. I don't know if this is bug or my settings messed but its annoying and would like to get it fixed or solution.

The top layer has an additional BLACK stroke applied that’s why the WHITE stroke on the artwork is not displayed. Please select Layer 1 from Layers panel and then from Appearance panel remove the Stroke.
Hope it helps.

Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of line on certain items.. Both options are greyed out.
Since latest update, Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of the line on certain items. I'm noticing this on both text and vector objects with "holes".

File preview is corrupted, when bottom layer is hidden
All Round Join/Round Cap strokes are incorrectly shown as Miter Join/Butt Cap in preview on MacOS when file is saved with bottom-most layer hidden. Contents or name of bottom layer do not change behavior.
