  1. Eyedrop multiple fills

    Please allow there to be an option on the eyedropper tool to select multiple fills on appearances to apply to another object. Example; with pattern design, we create a top transparent pattern than a second fill with a solid color to create the final pattern. We would like to be able to easily apply those two fills to another object

  3. Ipad Pro illustrator top layer select

    Sometimes I have an issue selecting the top layer only on iPad Pro illustrator while selecting other layers flawlessly.. Noticed this when importing back from desktop illustrator app. Not sure if that matters but curious if anyone else has had issue?

  4. spostare un qualsiasi oggetto

    Ho appena aggiornato la versione ad Illustrator 25.0, ho aperto un file pdf e risalvato in formato illustrator, peccato che quando voglio spostare un blocco di oggetti o anche uno solo mi dice che non posso perché è IMPOSSIBILE la modifica potrebbe rendere alcuni degli oggetti troppo grandi. Come la risolvo?

  7. Zoom on drag, not after

    Zooming involves pressing the command key and the space bar, and then clicking and dragging the mouse. The speed and duration of the drag is replicated in the zoom on screen. Or so it used to be.
    All of a sudden now, when I click, instead it draws a box, the contents of which then fill my monitor — but only when I release it.
    It used to zoom in on the mouse drag - but now it waits until I’ve completed the box. How do I toggle back to the previous settings?

  8. After redo is different from before undo

    The reproduction procedure is as follows.
    1. Create a point text containing two or more paragraphs
    2. Change the transformation reference point to a position other than the default position
    3. Transform it with the scaling tool

    At this point, remember the state of the artboard.

    Undo (command + Z) once.
    Then redo (command + shift + Z).
    It should be different from before undo.

    I feel very threatened because I often do this by hand.

    in Japanese
    再現手順は以下の通りです。
    1. 段落を2つ以上含むポイントテキストを作成
    2. 変形の基準点をデフォルトの位置以外に変更
    3. それを拡大・縮小ツールで変形

    ここまで進めたら、アートボードの状態をよく覚えてください。

    一回取り消し(command+Z)します。
    そしてやり直し(command+shift+Z)します。
    取り消し前と様子が違っているはずです。

    私はこれを手癖でよくやるのでとてもこわいです。

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  9. Illustrator 25 super slow save & crash on deleting FX

    1. It's taking a long amount of time to save even a small file.

    2. Everytime I try to delete an effect (so far any I have tried from the effects menu), the program crashes.

    3. Illustrator lags/freezes between each operation.

  12. Stuck on Rotate or Reflect Tool - Wacom Input Device

    I have run into this issue many times over the years (multiple AI versions) and figured I'd add to the posts about it.

    When using either the Rotate or Reflect tool, Illustrator often gets stuck. What I mean by stuck is that after trying to rotate or reflect some artwork, the Rotate or Reflect tool remains active as if you never released right click. This makes it so that every subsequent movement just rotates around the artwork as though you were still holding down right click. If you try to click elsewhere in the program, nothing happens. Clicking with a…

  13. Crash on Quit

    Illustrator crashes on quit 4 out of 5 times on my Mac and has for many months and builds. Crash on quit wouldn't be so bad if Illustrator didn't save so many interface and plugin settings on quit. The main crash indicator is below and full log is attached. Currently running illustrator 24.2.3, macOS Catalina 10.15.6. 2019 16" MacBook Pro Radeon Pro 5500M.

    Exception Note: EXCCORPSENOTIFY

    Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11

  15. Lag on every move I make!!

    Moving an object. Changing the tool. Changing a colour. Everything move I make in illustrator brings up the colour wheel of death. Just moved from CS6 to CC, worst move ever.

  16. SVG paste truncating curves

    Pasting SVG seems a bit broken. I have 1778 curves that I've copied from Rhino 3D WIP (it copies as SVG). I paste it to Illustrator, and Most of the curves automatically change to straight. Not only that, but it's automatically merging some of the points that are close together.

    This leads me to believe that Illustrator is rounding the points lower than it should.

    Enter Inkscape. I pasted there, and it's fine. I wanted to check to see if it was a failure of Rhino. So copied from Inkscape and paste to Illustrator... same issue.

    Copy only a Little…

    It looks like your path using a brush applied to it, and it’s a loose and wobbling brush tip, not following the centerline. The fill knows nothing about the brush tip and strictly follows the vector path, unlike brush.

    To solve the problem, you’d either have to use a different brush and make the path look wobbly at the object level with other means, like Roughen effect, or expand the appearance of the objects and fix the fill manually.

  18. Auto spell checker wants to capitalise new lines after forced line breaks

    This is a bug report for the new auto spell checker feature in Illustrator 2020.

    It does not understand that when you force a line break (using shift-return, not making a new paragraph with return), it’s not a new sentence.

    So it wants to capitalise the first word on the new line.

    This makes no sense and does not match the way it works in InDesign.

    Thanks for fixing that!

  20. Freeform gradient locking spot color

    If you use a spot color in a freeform gradient the swatch becomes locked, so you can't change the name or merge/delete the swatch.
