Dimension die but don’t get expanded when pasted along with the objects with Paste Remembers Layers enabled into a different document
I have a floor plan.
Some of the objects I have there have live dimensions attached.
I need to copy them all from an older revision of the file into a newer one.- I select objects and their dimensions together
- I enable Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel’s flyout menu
- I copy them
- I open the different document and run Edit > Paste in Place command
It all looks fine... Objects get pasted where expected: dimensions into their own layer, other stuff to other layers.
No shy message about objects being expanded.
All dimensions are displayed as single entities…1 vote -
Pressing None button in tool Panel for mixed fill/stroke doesn’t work
If you have a selection with different fills and/or strokes, Ai will mark it with question marks in fill/color selector.
And if you want set it to None, you should be able to click the button below — but it doesn’t work.
But the same button in Color panel works, and the '/' hotkey works.
Please fix this.

Global colors used in a freeform gradient don’t get added into Swatches when it’s pasted into another document until the file is reopened
If you use global color swatches in the freeform gradient and copy to a new document, the global color doesn't get added to the swatches palette — you have to save and reopen the file for the swatch to appear.

Slow file open when other docs are open. Shows a magenta border. Macbook Pro Apple M3 Max; Sonoma up to date; AI 29.1
Slow file open when other docs are open. Shows a magenta border. Macbook Pro Apple M3 Max; Sonoma up to date; AI 29.1.
What's the issue? I have to "command zoom out" to see the file. Or close the other files prior for it to open without stalling and a magenta border.

Objects from CC library placed in document, then embedded, do not respond logically to alignment commands.
I've encountered this on three different apple machines over 2 years. Currently:
1. macOS Monterey 12.7.5
2. Illustrator 28.5
3. Create graphic (ex. a logo) and add it to a CC Library. Place the Object in a new document. Embed it. Use direct select tool to select bounding box and delete it (so logo can be selected to change fill color, for example). Try to align object to either key object or artboard. It's likely the logo will move errantly left or right.
4. I expect align to work as with a normal (non library) object.

Since updating to macOS Sequoia 15.2, when you go to place something or relink an image, the window does not show recent paths any more, it defaults to the Documents folder.

Pencil Tool not performing accurately
Pencil tool not performing accurately. Continued issue after updating to the 2025 version of Illustrator. Despite tinkering with pencil tool options, the shape will continue to skew compared to what I am drawing. Fidelity is on its most "accurate" setting.

画像が粗くなる
A4見開き、A3のアートボードを10個1ファイルで作成したデータをPDFを含んで保存してIndesignに貼り付けA4・20ページでPDF書き出ししたところ一部の画像が何故か粗くなってしまいました。
アートボードを分割して保存すれば大丈夫でしたがいまいち原因がわかりません。
また以前に同じ作業をしましたがその時はアートボードを分割しなくとも大丈夫でした。
今回このようなことが起きた詳しい原因が知りたいです。1 vote -
Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option
Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.
However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.
So now this dialog is broken the other way.
What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we…

clipping mask on an image and vector
in Illustrator when I use the clipping mask tool on an image with a vector with a gradient, so that the image has an effect of opacity of the image towards transparent, and I press g to edit the location of the gradient color, when I return With the selection tool, all the other contents that I have in the workspace are blocked and I cannot unlock or move them, I have to undo the movement of the gradient so that everything returns to normal, but I still need to do the function of the degraded.

Rectangle and shape feature only has pixels as measurement even though Inches is selected in Preferences.
I've updated to the latest Illustrator and old versions and new versions have this same issue. When creating a rectangle or shape, it only allows pixels instead of inches even though my preferences for units is selected for INCHES. This is absolutely annoying as I can 't even put in a size for printing like a business card or letter because it only wants pixels for measurements. I've been an Illustrator user for over 30 years and this bug is huge that apparently is not being addressed in previous releases.

Exported image changes part of its name to the older artboard’s name
When renaming artboards prior to export to PNG, the first artboard name change applies but in export its name appears old (as it was before renaming). And it only affects 1 artboard.

clicking on stroke color in properties box adds fill to stroke
When trying to change stroke color, the properties box shows nothing in the RGB boxes. Clicking in them adds a fill to the stroke which is unwanted. Edit Gradient controls were buggy too
