Image Trace has a problem keeping the artwork in the same location from the original.
Illustrator version 22.0.1
Image trace seems to have a problem keeping artwork in the same location from the original. Screen Shot 1 shows some text that I have rasterized to be image traced. I work at a die making facility so rasterized images need to be made into vectors for our CNC machines to "read them."
As it stands, if I image trace this text it is going to be transposed to the right and below the original. The image traced result in Screen Shot 2 is the magenta color. My original rasterized image is in black. When this specific…

Zoom Tool – Zoom out sometimes doesn't work
I often zoom out by selecting the Zoom Tool from the toolbar, then holding down 'Option' and clicking the mouse to zoom out. This does work most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't work and I have to click another tool option then click back to Zoom for it to work properly.
Not sure if there's something specific I'm doing before to prevent it from working, or if it's just random.

Recolor artwork window stops working shortly after opening (Illustrator CC2018)
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 on macOS High Sierra (10.13.2).
I'm trying to recolor my artwork but the window accessed via Edit colors > recolor Artwork freezes shortly after using it.Everything remains responsive except that when I click any part of the window there is no response from Illustrator. I can still move the window around but cannot exit it. The OS doesn't recognize it as a crash (no "not responding" message).
I've been working on the same document in Illustrator CC 2017, recoloring worked fine in then.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help…

Illustrator won't open any files
Since the new update I am completely unable to open any AI or PDF file in Illustrator. Nothing will open, just the rainbow ball of death forever until I have to Force Quit. I've uninstalled Illustrator and even installed earlier versions with no luck. I've 'repaired' Creative Cloud with also no luck.
I'm working on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Illustrator v23
A couple times I've gotten an error message that says: "cannot open ___ file because this file does not exist."
Please help!

Small enhancement for the new Global Edit Tool
Hi there!
I’m playing with this new feature on Illustrator 23, “Global Edit” and I find it absolutely fantastic.
But, there is a small drawback when you are editing an object: once your are in “Global Edit Mode”, when you change to White Arrow (Direct Selection Tool) to modify some individual component of your original object, lot of times you need to firstly UNSELECT ALL just to be able to select some individual point/s to edit (in order to see that edition being cloned along all similar objects interactively).
And here comes the problem: once you unselect all with the…

Illustrator v23.01 will not open subsequent vector files via Indesign, Bridge or directly from a folder.
When I try to "Edit with" in InDesign or open a vector file via Bridge or directly from the folder, it opens the file for the first time on launching the software, however if I try to open files again while Illustrator is up and running, it will not open. I then have to quit Illustrator to open the file. This is counter productive as I have to do this even when i have to make a small edit or move/delete an object. Especially when I'm working on multiple graphs, etc.
My fix for now is to revert back to…

Recent change to transform function is anti-intuitive.
I have used Illustrator since version 1.11 and the shift key has always been used to constrain angles and proportion in drawing and transforming. suddenly without notice in the latest upgrade the shift key has to be used to FREE transform and the default in the transform function is to maintain proportion or constrain movement to 45 or 90 degrees. This is against the habits of 30 years use. I have also noticed that in the Option>scale function the highlight which used to default to the angle value no longer does so requiring addition keystroking. Not helpful.
1 voteUhm, the Shift does not behave like this now, and even in Photoshop they decided to give a legal option to change it back.
As for the Scale and Rotate dialogs not focusing the filed with the value — also fixed.
Please comment back if you still have these problems.
