I can't Knockout in a clip mask
After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.
[p1] Establish a clipping mask group, check Knockout;
[p2] Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have the knockout effect.
[p3] But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.
[p4] But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal.
This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same…

Applying a material to an extruded object says it’s not enough RAM
I apparently don't have enough RAM to do this. I'm trying to add a material to the border of the left file, it's a fill not a stoke... I have 96GB of RAM.... I am apparently using 26GB of memory. 70 Gb of RAM Should really be enough for almost anything I would think. Please let me know if there's a way I can use these tools if not I'll have to go back to my client and say "Adobe can't do it" once again.

Gaussian Blur preview is slow to calculate
Gaussian Blur is just so difficult to use, and preview NEVER works.
When it's activated, to make a change on the objects or font that it is applied to, requires that I always turn it off first and turn it back on later. There is always a long delay for it to appear. The Gaussian blur needs to be redesigned so it is as dynamic and powerful as the feature in Photoshop.

塗りの線幅が縮小すると幅が変わってしまう
図形や文字の幅をアピアランス→塗りを指定→パスのオフセットで
幅を変更しています。ｖ29.61と29.6でイラレを使用すると
縮小などをした際に幅の比率が変わってしまいます。(線幅と効果拡大縮小もチェック済み)
※線で作成した図形や文字は比率を守ってくれます
29.51を使用すると問題なく拡大縮小ができます。
これはバグなのでしょうか？3 votes -
El gráfico de un objeto 3D se mueve con el objeto
Al colocar un gráfico en un objeto 3D, es muy complicado ajustar su posición porque siempre se coloca en el centro y se mueve junto con el objeto.

Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object (non-English characters).
Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object. It looks like effect use incorrect regional standards settings separate from the text itself causing the shadow looks like complete other characters .
Also, if you turn off BLUR in DROP SHADOW, the shadow becomes normal. And this does not happen with all fonts.

Using Inflate with 3D & Materials gives a [Clr?] error
Ever since it was introduced, I haven't been able to access the new 3D & Materials (only the classic version). With any attempt I make to eg. inflate I get this error message: 'The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [Clr?]'. I use Illustrator 29.6.1 on a Mac Mini M1.

Can't pick colors with eyedropper on groups
The title... I can't pick colors with the eyedropper on grouped objects where the color is applied to the group. If I ungroup, the fill and stroke disappears from the object. This is so annoying.

3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS
I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless…

Eyedropper not working when object is within nested groups
Illustrator V. 29.1
MacOS Ventura 13.6.2I need to be able to direct select objects that are within nested groups and then eyedropper to change how only that object looks. This feature doesn't work correctly and I don't want to have to click + click + click + click + click to get into the isolated object for every single shape I need to do this on every day. See screen recording to better explain. Thank you.

Incorrect Blend Mode Appearance When Opening Illustrator 2024 File in Illustrator 2025
I’ve encountered a potential bug in Illustrator. When I open a file created in Illustrator 2024 (version 28.7.4) in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.2.1), the appearance applied to the text does not display correctly.
For example, in the attached file, the text at the bottom changes to a completely different design when opened in Illustrator 2025, which is causing a significant problem.

Wireframe Conversion of 3D objects distorts the paths, straightens curves
Converting 3D text to a wireframe often doesn’t show the curves of fonts correctly. During the process, these curves often turn into straight lines or rough shapes, losing the original look of the font or the 3D preview.

Extrude on the 3D Materials panel is inaccurate.
The extrude function does not extrude by the amount I type in.
It used to work on my desktop but never on my laptop and now it works on neither. It extrudes but by less than a third of whatever I type in. Don't know why this happens or why its started doing it on my desktop too.I find it eliminates the usefulness of the whole 3D Materials panel.
