  2. Export for Screens not updating Artboard titles

    I've been copy/pasting my artboards and renaming them to save time.

    I've noticed though that Export for Screens doesn't always update the artboard name, despite the artboard name being changed.

    I've seen this bug a few times now.

  4. stabilité

    Illustrator est moins stable que la version précédente alors que des bugs sont censés être corrigés !
    Et le "conseil" pour éviter le plantage est complétement inadapté puisque nous n'utilisons pas le logiciel cité.
    Il plante de façon aléatoire lors d'une opération sur les symboles

  5. Ouvrir fichier

    Illustrator n'ouvre pas la fenêtre du document mais le considère néanmoins comme ouvert, il faut redémarrer Illustrator pour que la fenêtre puisse apparaitre.

  8. Activate Fonts fails silently

    Activate Fonts fails silently. No reason given to the user. The bug is the silent fail, not that it fails at all as there could be many reasons.

  9. 行頭禁則文字に関わる和欧文間隔をカスタマイズ可能に!

    Illustratorの日本語組版で、たとえばプリセットの文字組アキ量設定「行末約物半角」を元に、和欧文間隔を「0%」にカスタマイズしても、そのカスタマイズの結果は、何故か「行頭禁則文字」に分類される文字種には効果がありません。
    ※添付ファイルをご参照くださいませ(macOS Catalina上のCC2021にて作成)。

    日本語組版の中では、デフォルトの「25%」アキを「12.5%」あるいは「0%」としたいという作業は少なからず発生しますが、上記のような挙動では、作業者の負担になるばかりです。

    可能であれば、「文字組アキ量設定和欧文間隔のカスタマイズが、行頭禁則文字にも効くように」改善することを希望します。
    挙動を変更していただければ、作業者の負担も軽減され、喜んで受け入れられるに違いありません。

    なお、このような挙動の変更は、「文字組みアキ量設定に頼らずなんらかの方法で和欧文間隔を変更した既存ファイル」にはあまり影響がないものと考えますが、変更していただくならば、【その変更を周知】していただくことは大切なことだと申し添えておきます。

    よろしくお願いします。

  11. Vectorisation doesn't work as with CS6

    Before I could vectorise a file (for example this one "SourceFile.gif") and the relsult was like the attached one "VectorisedFile.ai" with the fonction "Image trace" and it works with the 2 following option "line art" or "technical drawing".
    Why doesn't it work anymore ?
    Thanks for your following answer!

  12. Measurement of a clipping path object bug on PC (Illustrator 26.0.1)

    I have a logo which uses a mesh gradient inside a clipping path. On my Mac the X and Y measurements relate to the object, ignoring the elements that are outside of the clipping path. When I share this with a colleague who is using the same version of Illustrator on a PC the measurements are different and relate to all the elements in the object and not just the clipping path? Any ideas?

  13. flickering guide lines

    In Illustrator 25.4.1 one cannot use the guides while Astute Plugins active! What did you do Adobe? While selecting objects the guide lines will appear blink think suddenly while someone click drags the mouse as long as one releases the mouse button again. While dragging objects, the guide lines will be fine, but with nothing selected, click drag will cause flickering guide lines.

  14. Relink no longer works in most recent Illustrator

    When I update links outside Illustrator, Illustrator no longer shows the links with the recycle icon. The relink button in the links panel is greyed out. The only way is to manually relink the files rather than the nice refresh there used to be! This is very time consuming!

  15. パスファインダーの分割をするとズレが起きる

    Adobe Illustrator 2021、2022、2022(Prerelease)

    2つの上下に重なった絵柄で、下の絵柄の形に沿って上の絵柄を分割をすると、ほんのコンマ数ミリのズレが起きます。
    100%や200%の拡大率では見えませんが、30000%とか大きい拡大率だと確認できます。
    あとズレているため、余分なパスができてしまい、その後の作業に支障がでます。

  16. Undo after unlocking a layer makes the saved file marked as unsaved

    If you open a file and make a change, the file name shows an asterisk in the document’s tab to indicate this. If you then immediately Undo the change, the asterisk disappears — makes sense, the file is back to its original state.

    But this doesn't work if you lock or unlock a layer and then Undo! The asterisk remains in place.

    Thanks to John Goodman for reporting this.

  17. Global Color swatch copied into new document even if not used on element being copy/pasted.

    Problem: create a square with stroke=0 and fill=100% black. Copy and paste into new document and color swatches are okay. Now go to first document and add a Global Color swatch (i.e. Pantone Green) but don't add it to the square (so it's still stroke=0 / fill=100% black). Copy the square and paste it into a new document. For some reason, that Global Color (Pantone Green) swatch is added to the swatch palette of the new document. Now choose 'Select All Unused', the Pantone Green is selected to prove it's not being used in the element (square) you copy/pasted from…

  18. Coding tips

    Could you please encode a version of Illustrator that would work once and not crash your computer every other hour!!! This same thing has now happened in 3 different versions of Illustrator in a row and I always have to use the old version before your coders learn to do something right!

  20. Filename is no longer selected in Save / Save As / Open dialogs in macOS Mojave

    In macOS Mojave only the filename was selected in the Save / Save As... window.

    Now nothing is selected so you can't start typing right away or the extension is also included in the selection. So if you need to save multiple versions or need to add a number at the end of a filename you could hit the Right Arrow key and start typing.

    If you do that now the cursor moves after the extension, you have to move 4 positions back or delete the extension entirely and then start typing.
