Exporting a batch of artboards as SVG results in wrong files
I'm exporting multiple artboards as SVG using ⌘⌥E command and while artboard names are correct and the window previews are also fine I realized the exported files are wrong. The names are right but the content is not matching with the corresponding artboard. I'm on Illustrator 28.5 and the file has 28 artboards

Variable Fonts with a Width axis don’t work in Illustrator unless the "space" glyph changes width
Operating system:
macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81)The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
Adobe Illustrator 2024 (28.2)The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
I created a variable font with a width axis. The font works well in environments like web browsers, but the variable axis slider has no effect in Illustrator. This also affects variable fonts with a Width axis and other axes – none of the shaping changes of any axes are rendered in Illustrator.After some debugging and experimentation, I finally learned that the "space" glyph must change in its character width, and only then…

Allow to delete custom Scales in Dimension Tool Options
I made a mistake defining a custom scale and now I can’t delete it. It stays there and reminds me of my mistake and messes up with my choice when I need to pick a proper one.
How can I delete it without reinstalling the whole app of purging some settings in some file, buried deep in the extensive bowels Illustrator has?
Then — I don’t need some of the default scales it has. How can I hide these, to go to my defined scales faster?

Character line height has to be entered twice before it changes
If I ever want to manually enter a specific line height for text, the first time I type it in and hit "enter" it automatically reverts back to auto (or whatever it was previously). I have to open the character panel again and do it a second time for it to actually change. This has been the case for awhile and makes no sense!

Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.
I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.
It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!
It does go away when you turn vector…

Effect > Path> Outline Stroke only works if applied to an entire object, not to a stroke
Sometimes when I am making a complex Appearance stack I want to start with a basic stroke, outline it, and do more stuff to it, but I cannot, because this only applies to the entire object. Please fix this. It's annoying.

"Introducing keyboard s..." notification will not go away
I keep getting a notification that's cutoff and won't go away. there's no close button and I cannot move the window. I get half of the message about "introducing keyboard s... While in text mode, press 'C...... B/U/I'....." How can I get rid of this notification?

Deselect All command is not active in Artboard mode and the hotkey select all instead
When you pick the Artboard Tool, you enter a special 'artboard mode', and it modifies the behavior of standard 'object mode' commands.
For example, pressing Cmd/Ctrl + A (Select All) will select all artboards instead of objects.
But for some reason pressing Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A (Deselect All) does not deselect all artboards, but selects them all instead.
And if I try to call it from the menu, it will deselect objects instead of artboards (if I have any object selected) or just be inactive (if I have no object selected).This is hardly consistent and makes deselecting artboards…
13 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release — the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+A hotkey now works in the Artboard mode to deselect all artboards (but not the Object menu command).
Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

Copying elements undos artwork name changes
Copying an element (regardless of what it is) will cause one of the artboards to change it's name.
There doesn't seem to be an logic to which artboard gets changed. In one file with 30+ artboards the it was somewhere in the middle.

Pathfinder & Shape Builder: glitch when joining curvy shapes
I'm trying to join two round shapes and I'm always getting unexpected shape glitches in the result path. I tried making this new shape using pathfinder and shape builder, but the results are the same.
Sending before/after screenshots attached in outline view.
Version 28.1 (2024)
Please help!
2 votesThis is regulated by the size of the art processes and the precision value (measured in absolute values) one can edit in Pathfinder Options.
Although vector paths stay continuous no matter how deep you zoom in, they are still stored on a canvas with rather finite coordinates, and all calculations are still very finite.

Retype does not work at all in Czech version of Illustrator CC 2024 (28.0)
The Retype function does not work at all on Windows 10. All attempts end with the message Selection not recognized. It doesn't matter if it's a vector, a bitmap. It doesn't recognize anything. Not even Hello in Helvetica.
On MacOS 13.4.1 the app displays possible similar fonts but you can’t select them, download them, nothing. Dead end.Nice work, Adobe!

Application Memory Spiking
MacBook Pro, Apple M2 Pro, 16GB, macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)
Illustrator V 28.3Product is crashing and RAM usage is sky-rocketing to 300GB+, have to wait for the system to recover before making further actions in program.
Periodically occurs when 3D objects are populating the artboard but unclear whether this is linked or not.2 votes -
Baisse de performance au bout d'un certain temps
MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16 Go - Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1
Illustrator 28.5Illustrator fonctionne parfaitement jusqu'à un moment où les raccourcis claviers ne fonctionne plus, le traitement de texte met du temps à afficher le texte que je rédige et la moindre action fait apparaître la roue de chargement sur la souris.
La solution (que j'espère temporaire) que j'ai trouvé est de fermer et de réouvrir l'application

dxcore.dll not found
Illustrator won't open due to "dxcore.dll not found".
I have been on forums and many people have posted about this.
Seems to be an issue with the latest update as the posts are quite recent.
Temporarily fixed by reinstall of Illustrator. As yet, have found no permanent solution.2 votes -
Can't drag objects after creating text objects
V. 28.4.1. As soon as I create any text object, dragging objects is imposible, Illustrator won't let me move anything. Everything seems fine, until I create a text Objects, then moving anything is simply imposible. Restarting doesn't seem to work.

Windows 11 Professional, Adobe Illustrator 28.5 64bit
Bei der mehrfachen Verknüpfung eines Bildes in einem Dokument war es bisher möglich, wenn man das Bild aus dem Ordner in z.B. einen Ordner erledigt geschoben hat, auf alle anwenden einzustellen und man musste nur 1 x ein neues Bild aussuchen und verknüpfen und alle weiterenb gleichen Bilder im Dokument wurden automatisch getauscht. Das Fubktioniert leider nicht mehr.
