ALIGN PIXELS IS DRIVING THIS PATTERN DESIGNER CRAZY!
ALIGN PIXELS IS DRIVING THIS PATTERN DESIGNER CRAZY! Look, some of us use inches. I create precise repeat patterns and they MUST align the way I decide to align them! It's that simple. I've attempted to turn off ALIGN PIXELS and every time I close and start Ai again it resets to its default. When I enter a number, dammit,, it needs to stay the number I entered. I'm the boss here,, not Illustrator! Please give us a permanent fix to turning off for good this default I will NEVER use.

Unable to save Illustrator file as svg using artboards
We use Illustrator to draw lots of icons.
If we place each iocn on an artboard and try to save each artboard to a file by selecting Save as -> svg -> use artboards -> all,
we expect multiple icons to be saved to multiple svg files.We actually get multiple svg files, but each svg contains all layer names from the original file and one svg icon.
It would be very helpful, if manual cleanup after saving / exporting wasn't necessary.

Image Not Visible/Blank When Placing EPS Files into new file
I use a program called Separation Studio to separate raster images into spot colors. I then open up a new Illustrator file, click file -> place -> select the eps file created from Separation Studio, and the image that is placed is blank. This was not an issue with any versions of Illustrator. In previous versions, you were able to see the image that was placed and even change/alter the spot colors that were brought in. In this new version, CC18, the spot colors come in with the image when it's placed, but even if you change the spot color,…

Color panel problem.

Illustrator CC V23.0.2The panel display default is the spectrum, even when I specifically select CMYK (or RGB for that matter) unless "Show Options" is selected. Color values should be the default. Can this be fixed?

Crashing when Creating New Anything
For some reason whenever I try to create a new document in Illustrator, it buffers and inevitably crashes. At first I believed it to just be our school server (as it crashed a few days ago) but it's affecting all of the computers in every single classroom I've been in.
The program will open and then the screen pops up with "Create New" in the center.
I click on the button and it brings up the file sizes and the measurements like normal but when I click on "Create", the program buffers and a notification will pop up stating that…1 vote -
23.0.1 Consistent Crash - Trying to record a transparency adjustment in an Action
I'm using an iMac with Mojave 10.14 and Illustrator 23.0.1.
I'm getting a crash while recording an action with a grouped object selected, I try to edit a transparency via the Properties menu. The crash is within one to two seconds of hitting enter on this change, consistently. Seems like it's another part of the memory leak that's happening?
I'm rolling back to 22.1 until this is resolved.

Pen tool located in type tools
Took me a while to find but found the pen tool hanging out with the type tools. Please stop fixing things that are not broken. I remember before CC things works pretty well. Now every time there's an update, some other bugs pop up that weren't there before. Is this just a way for engineer job security? Well whatever it is, its becoming a major pain.

Hi,
There was an issue in 23.0 causing tools to shift between groups. This has been fixed in latest update (23.0.2). After update, please reset the Basic and Advanced toolbars by opening the tool drawer (3 dots at bottom of the tool bar), then using ‘Reset’ from the fly-out menu (on top right).
Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this issue.
With Best Regards,

"open file"
Illustrator won't open more than one file.
With version 23.0.1, Illustrator will permit to open only one single file. The first file can be opened by any method, any subsequent file can only be opened using "File/Open" command. Using Windows Explorer or Drag&Drop does not work! and will freeze Illustrator; ending the application is only possible using the Windows Task Manager.
I'm running Illustrator CC (23.0.1 64-bit) ond Windows 10 Enterprise (10.0.16299).THX for fixing this!

Overall dissatisfaction with Illustrator
The frequency of issues is just staggering. Files freeze on open, freeze on save, struggle with server connections, never seem to remember any recent files, or you just seem to get a beach ball for minutes on end with no clue if you need to restart or if you should just wait it out. I use illustrator more than any program and it sometimes ends up being my biggest hindrance.

Direct selection tool not resizing selected artwork
When I try to click on an anchor point and resize my artwork with the direct selection tool, it does not resize the artwork anymore. It just moves the artwork. Fortunately, I can still use the Free Transform Tool to resize objects and artwork. This is on Windows 10 in Illustrator CC 22.1.

Click and touch release problems Illustrator CC 2018 Mac High Sierra - cause dictation software
Illustrator v 22.0.1, Mac OS High Sierra on Macbook Pro 2016, touch bar, 2.9GHz Intel core i7, 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3
Clicking, tapping, with trackpad or wireless mouse (Kensington wireless Turbo Mouse trackball): click/tap does not release, so the object is highlighted or selected and stuck to the cursor as you move it around.
In the layers palette, (The new Properties/Layers) clicking/tapping a layer lock to unlock it may unlock it with a delay, or lock/relock it. The same goes for view/hide visibility for layers. The response is difficult to interpret, possibly because of delays. But it not possible to use…
