  2. 3D Revolve Classic not updating applied symbols after symbol changes

    Making changes inside a symbol does not update where it is used as an instance. Video below shows editing of an extrude with a symbol applied to the outside of a cylinder. The preview toggle on/off inside the extrude tool also does not work in updating the applied symbol in real time.

  4. Can't Save AS!!!!!

    When I try to SAVE or SAVE AS. Nothing happens. This is a random bug just pops up randomly.

    It won't let me save or even save as. When I click Save As the finder box doesnt open so I can't do anything.

    I'd have to force quit so that AI thinks it crashed then pray that I get my recovered document when I open it up again.

    FIX THIS PLEASE.

  5. Applying Inflate Clips the Ends of a Line

    I made a line with the line tool, made the stroke 3 points wide, and chose a color for the stroke. I also went into the stroke options and chose the rounded cap. Then I used the width tool to tweak the shape of the line to resemble the object I was drawing.

    When I go to Effect-->3D and Materials-->Inflate, it crops off both the top and bottom end of the line.

    I'm using Windows 11 and Adobe Illustrator 2022 v. 26.5.

  6. Offset Path not remembering last setting

    I use Illustrator (26.5, but this has persisted through several versions) both at home and work. My mac at home remembers the last amount i used for Offset Path. For example, if i choose a path and offset by -.25 in, and then choose another shape and select Offset Path, the setting is defaulted to the same amount: -.25 in.

    However, at work, if i choose a second shape and choose Offset Path, the default is set to -.025 in.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

  9. fonts not displaying online

    The specified typefaces rarely display online when sharing for review. They are being replaced by something else. This makes sharing a file online for review a waste of time. Even if I use an activated Adobe font, this font will unlikely be displayed in the browser. Even using a web friendly font doesn't help

  10. Action "Save" is recorded as "Save As".

    Bugs posted in the Japanese forum.
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-discussions/%E9%9A%8E%E5%B1%A4%E3%81%AB%E4%BE%9D%E5%AD%98%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E4%BF%9D%E5%AD%98%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%81%AE%E8%A8%98%E9%8C%B2%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95%E3%82%92%E6%95%99%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84/td-p/13259222

    When a user creates an action in the form of recording work, the "Save" is recorded as "Save As".
    The user must replace the command with "Insert Menu Item" to work around this glitch.

    I have confirmed that this has been reproduced since version 23 (CC2019), but it seems to be a bug that has existed for a long time.
    This is not good.

    <にほんご>
    ユーザー作業でアクションを記録すると「保存」が「別名で保存」として記録されてしまう。
    「メニュー項目を挿入」でコマンドを差し替えるしか対策がない。
    手持ちのCC2019以降で再現を確認したが、もっと以前から不具合があった可能性がすごい高い。

  12. Illustrator does not insert images from Telegram by drag&drop

    When I try to drag and drop an image from Telegram into Illustrator, it inserts the text of the temporary file path instead of the image.

    Note that drag&drop from Telegram to Photoshop works correctly. The same method can be used to drag and drop images to the desktop or other applications.

    Mac OS 12.6 (but I have tested it on Windows too)
    Illustrator 26.5 (but also tested with previous versions)

  16. Illustrator 2021 and 2022 crash when trying to run an action from a script

    Attempting to run any action from applescript or javascript is always resulting in Illustrator 2021 or 2022 immediately crashing for me.

    I've tried on multiple computers, and running it on a fresh install of AI 2022 with no settings changed.

    Tested on MacOS Mojave, Big Sur, and Monterrey

    It doesn't matter which Action or Action Set is used, I've tried the included "Default Actions" and others.

    The identical scripts work fine from AI CC2020 back to at least AI CS6.

    For example, I can copy and paste this straight from Adobe's ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC SCRIPTING REFERENCE: APPLESCRIPT:

    tell application "Adobe…

  17. some shortcut combinations don't work.

    Hi. I found that some shortcut combinations don't work.
    I use WIN10, Ai 2022, Korean.

    "Ctrl+Shift+1", "Ctrl+Shift+5" don't work with the number keys on the right numberpad. (with upper numberpad, it does work well.)

    (I assign them to adjust text size stuffs)

    Is that a unique situation just on me?
    Is there anyone who check these shortcut combination whether works or not?

  18. 数字入力時のバグ

    図形サイズや角度など、普段数字を入力するときはShiftキーなど同時に押す必要が無いが、逆にShiftキーを押しながら数字を打たないと、!や$など約物を入力してしまう。キーボードの設定と逆になっていて大変使いづらい。

  19. Paragraph copy converts to individual letters, or small small groups of letters

    I have noticed this issue with some increasing frequency: where paragraphs of copy suddenly appear as individual letters or small groupings. These letters all appear on their own layer. I am unable to grab all the text, or modify an entire word. Thankfully, I save rounds of files, or work by copy and pasting , so I'm generally able to grab copy from an older version, but this is maddening to say the least. I work as a packaging designer and it's crucial that copy remain editable. I have attached an image of the copy selected and highlighted little pink…

    running v26.5, Macbook Pro M1 14, OS12.0.1

    'Save As' and 'Export' dialogue box not opening so unable to save or export anything when running two screens.

    'Save As' and 'Export' dialogue box opens but is fully greyed out when only using laptop (see screenshot).

    Problems started a few days ago and cannot be sure if it was tied into an OS update.

    I do not run any plugins.

    I have:
    • Reset preferences
    • Uninstalled and reinstalled
    • Restarted machine several times
