Illustrator often fails to build a smooth blend for paths with mismatched number of anchors
Take a look at the file attached and watch the images attached.
Two curves are blended: one has 4 anchors, another one has 5 anchors.
The blend Ai build has weird irregular slits in the middle.If you expand the blend and select problematic anchors, you’ll see that positions are correct, but some handles get interpolated wrongly.
This happens often in many other scenarios.
The current workaround is to add more points to blend, trying to guess and control which point get paired with another.
Another workaround is to cut curves in pieces and blend in chunks.11 votes -
Strokes on a blend don't visually update in the stroke palette
When I create a blend with a stroke, change the stroke it doesn't visually update, until I double click on the blend tool and reduce or increase the number of blends. Never used to do this, and is incredibly time-wasting and annoying.

Blend Tool Not Distributing Spaces Correctly
When using the blend tool and selecting the "distance between" mode, it is messing up. If I want as many steps as is possible with 3./4" gap between them, I used to be able to select blend and apply distance and the gap would remain constant at 3/4" between pieces that blended. Now, the space is being changed each time which eliminates the utility of distance between. Please fix this, it's ruining the blend mode. If this is the way you are doing it, you need to add a Distance Bertween function that calculates a constant distance between graduating elements.…

replace spine grey out
I drew a blend gradient object and then drew a wave line by pen. When I tried to use the "replace spine under object" to transform the color gradient of object to the wave line, the option of "replace spine" has been grey-out. I have already selected both the gradient object and the wave line. Please advise.

Strokes in intermediate blend steps don’t inherit Gradient Along / Across Stroke property
When blending 2 gradient (along / across stroke) paths, the newly generated paths do not keep the gradients 'along / across stroke' but switch to gradients 'within stroke' - can you fix it so the new blend retains the gradients along stroke?

Blend Tool doesn't create/show a spine when blending between two open paths
Normally when creating a blend between two objects with the Blend tool (or Object > Blend > Make), Illustrator creates and shows a spine that can be manipulated with the Pen, Direct Selection and other tools. This spine makes it easy to edit the path of the blend with the Pen and Direct Selection tools.
When creating a blend between two open paths, however, Illustrator does not create or show this spine.
