  1. (Align to) broken more than not

    Illustrator version 25.4.1
    Mac 10.15.7

    (Align to) works SOMETIMES, and other times not so much. Doesn't matter if it's set to align to artboard, objects, or selected. Currently can only get it to work properly by shutting down & restarting every time I need to center something after successfully working ONCE. Here's what happens;

    1. Layer 1, align to center, worked.
    2. Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 inches to right.
    3. Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 more inches to right.
    4. Layer 2, align to left, art does nothing.
    5. Layer 2, align to center, art moves another 4…

  2. Aligning a group of objects to an artboard

    A bug in Align to Artboard. If I align a group of objects to Horizontal Align Center (to artboard), it's okay. But if the next click is Vertical Align Center (to artboard), all the objects of the group are aligned, not the group, but the seperate objects.

    A workaround is to click somewhere else, and then click the Vertical Align Center. But it looks like a bug to me.

  3. The latest update is now causing 'align to top' to behave like 'align to bottom', and 'align to left' to behave like 'align to right'

    The alignment tools never had this problem until the latest update. Wish I hadn't updated since it's now slowing my workflow. Please consider fixing this issue on the next update.

  4. Align on a selection not working - Illustrator 27.3.1

    When selecting the 2 points of a line, the "align to a selection" is not available.
    However, it worked yesterday, before upgrading to 27.3.1.
    What I want to do is select the first point of the line, then the second, and when I click "align horizontally to center", the first point should align with the second.
    Instead of that, the entire line is centered on the artboard.

  5. Align to key object isn't working

    Align to key object not working. When I click to align the non-key object moves to a random but specific place on the file, it is not aligning to the art board but to a random half-way straddling the edge of the art board. Please fix this asap, I can't really use Illustrator without being able to align objects on the page. We pay a lot for this program!

  9. Non-proper alignments

    This has been an ongoing issue since CS first began. Never had a problem with the old 10 or lower. If you grab a node from an object and move it say, to latch on to nearest node or object, it almost always picks some random and sometimes distant node or object, including itself (shown here). Should it not latch to nearest node? In order to properly latch, you have to pull out a guideline and place it where you want it to go, in order for it to recognize where to latch.
