  3. SVG export for screens not working properly.

    Windows 11 22000.556 / Illustrator 26.1

    Hi there,

    The SVG file exported through "Export for screens" is corrupted when opened with any web browser, Illustrator or Photoshop.

    I managed to export it properly by installing an older version of Illustrator (26.0.3). Previously I tried uninstalling and installing version 26.1, restarting the computer, etc and it didn't work.

    Best,
    Alex

  6. copypaste

    Ich arbeite mit verschiedenen Vektorprogrammen, wobei mir AI als Start und Finalbearbeitungsprogramm dient. Normalerweise öffne ich Dateien in AI und transferiere sie dann per CopyPaste in andere Vektorprogramme, hier z.B. Freehand. Dabei kopiere ich Vektorgrafiken.

    Seit ein paar Tagen funktioniert dies nicht mehr. In der Zielsoftware erscheint statt der Vektorgrafik eine Pixelgrafik. Was muss ich in den Einstellungen ändern, damit ich die Vektoren transferieren kann? Oder muss ich eine ältere Version von AI installieren?

  7. Can't recolour a shape or object

    I can't seem to recolour shapes or objects in the latest version of Illustrator. Normally, I would be able to insert a hex code, press enter and it'll be done.

    However, now, I have to insert the hex code and click on one of the other boxes for the colour to load before pressing enter. In this case, sometimes the wrong colour appears and I'd have to adjust the RGB/CMYK/HSB numbers to get the right colour. This happened when I was trying to insert a thistle colour and ended up with beige.

    Even worse, I sometimes enter the hex code…

  8. Font weight lost in SVG export

    When exporting to SVG the code seems to have lost the font weight atribute. We are exporting in bold and the old epxort used to include the code font-weight="700". The new code has ommited the font weight.

  9. Applying Recolor to selected instances of a symbol recolors the original symbol

    If I want to change colors for selected dynamic symbols, using Recolor will affect not local colors, but the original symbol.
    This makes little sense. If I wanted to change the original symbol, I'd edited it and made the changes directly to it. If I have a selection, I mean to change symbols in it only.

    To workaround it I can isolate my selection by locking/hiding objects I don't want to affect and use Select Same commands to recolor parts of symbols one at a time.

  10. Repeat on-screen controls work wrong when Bounding Box is off

    When bounding box is off, splitter control is rendered, but does not work, and instances control is missing completely.
    Having the bounding box turned off does not mean a user does not want to have repeat controls. So they should be A) completely hidden, or B) shown and be completely working.

  11. Effekt Transformieren

    Ich erstelle gerade Seamless Pattern. Eigentlich sollte der Effekt eine Kachelung ohne Fugen erstellen. Tut er aber nicht. Es entsteht jedes mal eine Fuge zwischen den einzelnen Kacheln. Und diese Fuge sollte nicht da sein

  12. two fingers touchpad navigation bug

    When I am using two fingers on touchpad to navigate through document, the movement is not fluid - it's like playing game on low FPS. When I am using spacebar + mouse to navigate - its fine.

  13. Share for Review Greyed Out

    I used Share for Review in Beta a number of times successfully last week on a few proofs but I just opened a file to use it again and the feature is now greyed out, as is the option to open a window for "Comments".

    I have reverted back to the regular Illustrator to continue using this feature but preferred the Beta, as the regular version requires you to upload the file and assets to CC cloud and the proof quality is terrible. The Beta, when it was working, was more consistent with how the feature works in InDesign but…

  14. File overwrites without warning when exporting to PNG

    When you Export a file as a PNG, check the "Use Artboards" and select a specific artboard, Illustrator overwrites your file without warning. This is not consistent with exporting to SVG.

  16. View Rotation Feature is obstructing regular pinching in or out gesture for zooming, when using the trackpad

    When using the pinching in or out gesture on the trackpad, to zoom in or out.
    The artboard gets rotated very easily if there is even a slight rotation in the gesture while.

    And then part 2 of problem. Its impossible to set it back to 0degrees. It keeps snapping between some low degrees

  17. Glyphs in a type on a path are placed wrong, rotate and shift

    Type on a path seems to be glitching. There may be some setting I'm overlooking, but it's certainly never been an issue before my last update. Characters are rotating and randomly spacing along a smooth, curved path, as if there were sharp turns in the path.

    Also, if I'm using type-along-a-path and then scale the objects with the text still live, the text will often glitch and then even if I undo the scale, it remains glitched.

  19. Arrow keys cancel file saving

    Illustrator v. 26.3.1 on 16 inch, 2021 M1 MBP running MacOS Ventura(13.0.1).
    When I save a file, I typically arrow over to the end of the autofilled filename to remove the end of it and add what I want to add per my file naming system. However, when I press any arrow key on my keyboard, the "save file" dialogue box closes, and I have to initiate the process over again. No other keys cause this issue to occur, only the arrow keys. I do use an external keyboard, but in testing, the arrow keys on the built-in keyboard produce…
