  2. Wacom Eraser not working on Illustrator

    I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.1, and Illustrator 2022 (26.0.2), both recently updated, and for some reason the eraser tip of my Cintiq 13 HD stopped acting like an eraser and it does the same as the pen tip. I tried resetting the settings for both Illustrator and the tablet, but the problem persists.
    For some reason this is not happening on Photoshop, the eraser works as usual.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  3. Blend Modes Hotkeys are broken

    Illustrator allows users to set custom hotkeys for blend modes, in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools, right in the very bottom.
    Aside from direct commands for each available blend mode, there are two contextual keys: Next Mode and Previous Mode.

    They don’t work as expected. Let’s make a simple test.
    1. Assign Shift+9 (displayed as 'Shift+(' — which is not correct, actually) for Previous and Shift+0 ('Shift+(') for Next blend mode.
    2. Put two colored shapes in a stack, to see what’s happening when you change modes
    3. Open Transparency panel, to see which mode is chosen (for some reason Properties…

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.0.0 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  4. Visual breakdown bug when zoomed in < 30000%

    In keyline and normal view, when zooming in very close, the image breaks down. This didn't happen in previous versions. The first attached image shows the image correctly, with zoom at 12750%. The second attachment shows the image 'broken down' when zoomed in further. The multitude of diagonal lines shouldn't be there (these increase when panning) and the selected line (that I'm trying to work on) should be a complete line, not an endpoint. This bug makes detailed work very difficult.

  5. Ok/Cancel positions reversed on Mac/Windows versions

    Is there a reason why the ok and cancel buttons are flipped when you switch from Mac to PC? I use both platforms every day and it's really disorienting. Can this be made consistent across both platforms, or is this an Apple/Microsoft issue?

  6. Pink screen and residual image artifacts

    The pink screen flash is back for me in 26.03 when opening files, but now I have the added bonus of image shrapnel being left everywhere (image attached).

    Mac mini M1. Happens with both MacOS 12.1 and 12.2 beta (release candidate).

  7. 中間色のあるグラデーションのあるPDFが正しく読み込めず色情報が消えてしまいます

    中間色がなければ正しく読み込めます。
    問題のPDFはインデザイン等で長方形を設定し塗りのグラデーションで中間色を設定すれば作成でき、PDFにエクスポートできます。
    編集をしたいので、"配置(Place)"以外の方法で解決したいです。

    追加情報をありがとうございました。

    InDesign でグラデーションバーの100%の位置にカラーストップがセットされていない場合に、Illustrator で PDF を開いた時にグラデーションのカラーが消えてしまうようです。

  8. Rectangle’s horizontal and vertical measurements are swapped

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)
    Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
    Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)
    Adobe Illustrator 26.0.2

    When selecting an object, like a rectangle, the horizontal and vertical measurements in the tool bar are swapped. They appear correctly in the Transform window.

    For example, a horizontal rectangle could be 7pt x 5pt, but when selected in the tool bar it shows 5 in the <--> dialog box and 7 in the vertical box.

    I have restarted my computer and restarted illustrator.
    See screen caps below.

    As per the comment:

    Illustrator allows to access dimensions of an object as well as dimensions of a live shape. In case when a shape is rotated by 90° the shape’s size values can look swapped compared to measured sizes. It’s like tilting a head. See attached images inside for clarifications.

  9. Cannot move artwork with artboard

    Artwork only moves with artboard when duplicate action is used. Nothing in layers or in file is locked.

  10. Illustrator 26.0.2 freezes, then crashes

    Working on line drawings, Illustrator freezes and displays either a dark screen or many lines of the same part of the UI (like freeze-frame), then goes black and crashes.

    The good news is that the auto-recover feature works (if I don't use Windows' End Task feature)

  11. Export for Screens via ExtendScript is slow and appears to have stopped

    Description:
    When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it slows down and looks frozen. The rainbow cursor will appear.

    It actually works, and will finish if I wait long enough. It seems to take about 10 times longer than running it manually from the GUI.

    This is especially noticeable when exporting JPEGs. If the image to be exported is large to some extent, it will hardly progress after the progress bar reaches about 99%. CPU usage will be around 100%.
    Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 157.636 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 2.9MB).

  13. ÿ (ydieresis) Uppercase and lowercase are inverted

    Hello,
    the character ÿ (y with a dieresis) has an issue in Illustrator (I have the french version) when I change the case using the Font menu, it does the opposite. Turning Ÿ to Capital will change it to lowercase, turning Ÿ to lowercase won't change it (the .mov video is more clear)
    regards,
    –Nico

  14. Windows版Illustratorで図形を描画すると、マウスカーソルの移動に沿って大量に生成される

    OS : Windows 10
    CPU : Core i5-9300H
    GPU : Geforce RTX 2060
    Illustrator : 26.0.2

    Windows版Illustratorで図形を描画する際に、マウスカーソルの移動に沿って図形が大量に生成されてしまいます。

    PC起動直後にIllustratorのみ起動している状態では発生しないことは確認できていますが、上記のバグが発生するタイミングはまちまちであり、どういった条件で発生するかの特定は難しいです。

    以下のフォーラムで報告されている現象と同様です。
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-discussions/%E9%95%B7%E6%96%B9%E5%BD%A2%E3%83%84%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%81%A9%E3%81%AE%E5%9B%B3%E5%BD%A2%E3%83%84%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%A8%E8%BB%8C%E8%B7%A1%E3%81%AB%E6%B2%BF%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E5%A4%A7%E9%87%8F%E3%81%AE%E5%9B%B3%E5%BD%A2%E3%81%8C%E5%87%BA%E6%9D%A5%E3%82%8B/m-p/8631161?profile.language=ja

  15. Document won't save

    Hi there.
    I have been working in a new file I created, and I am unable to save the file. I have tried exporting, and quitting such that illustrator asks if I want to save. Nothing happens. I am stuck here, as I will otherwise loose the work I have done. Any suggestions???

    The problem got solved by resaving the original document and no longer can be reproduced.

    If you have a similar issue, try to search for a similar bug report which matches yours exactly or log another one, providing as many details as possible to help the team to investigate it.

  16. 複数レイヤーの要素に対して同時に「パスの自由変形」を行うとレイヤーから要素が消えてしまう / Free Transform in distort mode forces objects from different layers to move into the top one

    環境
    OS: Windows10
    AI version 24.1.1(2020)および26.0.2(2022)

    再現手順
    1.複数のレイヤーにある複数の要素を同時に選択
    2.[自由変形ツール]→[パスの自由変形]で、ガイドのコーナーをドラッグし要素を変形する

    期待する結果
    変形前の元レイヤーに変形後も同様の構成で要素が残る(グループ化しない)version 23(2019)以前の挙動

    実際の結果
    上のレイヤーに要素がグループ化され、他のレイヤーから選択した要素が消えてしまう

    要望
    レイヤー構成を変えずにパスの自由変形で複数レイヤーにわたる要素を調整する必要があります。
    複数レイヤーの要素が選択されている場合は、グループ化せずに元のレイヤーに要素が残るように修正をお願いいたします。

  17. Using Illustrator “Paste In Front” creates a Find window on the Desktop

    Hi;
    I have recently begun having a paste in front (⌘F) issue in AI 2020.

    For DECADES I have been able to select an item and copy (⌘C) then paste in front (⌘F) to create a copy of the selection exactly on top that I can then step/move as needed.
    I have been doing this in the Illustrator 2020 application for years.

    Now when I’m in Illustrator and I hit the paste in front (⌘F), it takes me directly to the desktop and creates a Find window. (And Does Not Paste In Front!)

    I can use “Paste In Front” in…

  18. 大きなキャンパス時にピクセルビューにすると、カーソルキーでのオブジェクト移動時に10pxづつ動いてしまう

    1. M1 Mac mini OS 12.1 / Illustrator 26.0.2

    2. 手順
      大きなキャンパスでデータを作成
      既存デザインデータを貼り付け
      ピクセルビューで作業
      ピクセル吸着モードで作業
      キーボードのカーソルキーの左を押す

    3. 想定していた結果
      環境設定では0.2pxに設定されているので、
      1pxづつオブジェクトが移動するはずですが、10pxづつ動いてしまうようです。

  19. デザインが表示されなくなる

    環境: M1 Mac mini OS 12.1 / Illustrator 26.0.2

    ピクセルビューにして300%以上ズームするとなにも表示されなくなる。また、比較的パスやオブジェクトが多いデータについては100%時でもなにも表示されなくなってしまう。CS6ではちゃんと表示されます。GPUにしてもCPUレンダリングでも結果は同じです。

  20. Export for screens importing to After Effects as the same image

    When exporting for screens the artboards save out as separate files and in Photoshop and everywhere else appear as they should, however even importing to After Effects they all appear as the same file. If I re-save them in Photoshop it fixes the problem but is a hassle for something I need to do on a regular basis. This has been the case for several years and different versions of Illustrator on different computers.
