  3. Guides not scaling correctly on copy/paste into large canvas

    If I copy a 5"x5" rectangle from a regular document and paste it to a large canvas document, it remains 5"x5", as expected.

    However, if I convert the same shape to a guide and then copy it from a regular document to a large canvas document, the guide becomes 50"x50". This really makes things difficult when copying guides and artwork together into a large canvas.

  4. It's 2020. Why is it still impossible to scale a graph with the free transform tool.

    It's an insult to designers, especially in the age of data, that we can't properly use the graph tool without having to enter the data and officially break it before having the ability to scale it like any other vector object. Please get with the program and make it a scalable vector with data intact and editable.

  5. New update (v24.3) printer errors

    After the latest Illustrator update (v24.3), it keeps giving me printing error messages. My printer drivers and etc are up-to-date. This is the first time this has happened in many years, I don't even remember the last time I had printer errors via Illustrator. I've used Ai for over 20 years of my professional design and illustration career, several of the Ai CC 2020 updates have been nothing but a royal pain-in-the-a$$ overloaded with glitches, bugs, and crashes. I've never been so frustrated with this beloved drawing program. Adobe, please get Adobe apps to work properly like it once was.…

  6. Creating Halftones Quality Has Decreased

    I am beyond frustrated with what used to be a smooth, simple rendering process for creating halftones. I do what most do: create the shape with a black to white gradient > create setting under Color Halftone > Expand Appearance > Image Trace > Expand Appearance (again). Boom, done.

    Howevre, please refer to my image below. From left to right, this is what is happening now with the current software. First on the left is the gradient shape. Next is the effect if you apply the color halftone. So far no issues. But as soon as you apply Image Trace,…

  7. Lines form while moving canvas

    Every time I move the canvas down using the hand tool or scrolling up, these weird horizontal lines of color like 1 pixel high drop like some delay previewing or something. It's not easy to explain.

    I don't experience this in any other Adobe program.

  8. Select Same Fill & Stroke not working, version 24.3

    Select Same Fill & Stroke is not working in Illustrator CC, version 24.3. I'm using it on a large image traced vector pattern and need to change out the shape colors. I've used to do this all the time in past versions.

  10. Rotate tool

    in Illustrator 24.2 the rotate tool often seems to default back to random numbers now instead of to the last used or something that might make sense (eg 90). eg 93.24

  12. Issues

    My text is not showing up from even previous projects. Plus if I copy text from other programs, Illustrator just spools and quits.

  14. Cannot place an AI or EPS file in a new document without it looking messed up (AI 25.0)

    I've tried placing AI and EPS logo designs into a new document and the logos are distorted. (Opening original looks fine). Weird scaling of individual parts and unexpected curves. It's a mess. Have to copy paste from original, cannot use place at all.

  15. Changing color on gradient object freezes illustrator

    I noticed a similar issue someone was having in 2019, but it doesn't seem precisely the same. I am running Illustrator 24.3 on Windows 10. I recently pulled up an Illustrator file from last year to pull items for a new, related project. One of the vectors is a gradient - I'm trying to change it to solid fill. The only way I can do this right now is to change it to whatever solid is my default in my Tools panel, then change it to the actual color I want in my color palette. The Color palette automatically selects…

  17. new project presets not appearing

    I am starting a course to learn Adobe Illustrator. However, when I click on "create new" the dialogue box that opens only populates with Adobe Stock templates. No matter if I click print, web, or mobile there are no presets or options for me to change the project settings. Kind of hard to begin the course if I can't create a project with the specific setting for my assignments.

  18. BUG: Envelope Distort (with Anti Alias option on) changes colour values of embedded images.

    When trying to use Envelope Distort (eg Mesh) and the 'Anti Alias' option to maintain clarity, if the artwork features embedded images (eg a multichannel PSD that must be embedded for Envelope Distort action) it is clearly seen the results with and with AA active are different. Only without use of AA will the colour values remain faithful to the original pre-distorted image.

    Whilst I would expect some changes along edges, etc. that would benefit the most from using AA, it is seen across the entire image. This is not correct and renders the Envelope Distort function unusable for these…

  19. Unsauber

    Vektoren lassen sich in Illustrator 2021 nicht mehr sauber und geschmeidig ziehen, Formen lassen sich nicht passgenau verschieben.
    Sie "hopsen" mit Absätzen und können nicht mehr (wie früher in den alten Versionen) sauber und geschmeidig platziert/gezeichnet werden. Ich würde gern wieder sauber und geschmeidig mit Vektoren arbeiten. Was ist da faul?

    When I open a new document and try to title it, the text that is automatically in the text box"Untitled-1" does not auto-replace when you start typing. I have to manually delete the untitleds. Can you please fix that and make it auto replace when we start typing the title?
