  2. Illustrator file flattened when saved as .PSD (when 'write layers" is clicked on export)

    Windows 10 Photoshop 22.4.3, Illustrator 25.3.1
    When I export an Adobe Illustrator file as a .PSD and click "write layers", the file is flattened when I open it in Photoshop. The layers are not being retained.

  5. Consistent Display Bug

    1. MacBook pro 2021, big sur 11.4
    2. version 25.3.1

    On textured illustrations or illustrations using clipping masks, solid white boxes/sometimes pixel shapes sometimes larger, will appear. Some components I can zoom close enough in that they disappear, but some sketches I would be zooming in so far as to crop the sketch before the white boxes disappear.

    It is not the same as before where clipping masks would look completely unclipped. This is a different glitch in the newest update. It makes it so in order to take a screenshot of a sketch, I need to close and save and open…

  6. Graphic Styles lost, duplicated and hard to manage in general.

    I have painstakingly applied graphic styles to hundreds of icons (the final icon library is for a large CAD application and comprises nearly 2600 icons) but all of a sudden, the styles are not recognised any more. Objects are still graphically the same but when I select an object, the styles panel does not light up where it should.
    I have been having trouble getting graphic styles to work properly with styles getting duplicated and the very clunky way of saving and reapplying graphic styles to objects. This issue just makes me think I shouldn't bother. What are Graphic Styles…

  7. Symbol transformation "Reset" button sometimes greyed out

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    I have several instances of a Symbol on my Artboard, and each has been transformed.

    Some of these instances displays the "Reset" button when I select them, some others don't, and I have no choice but to use the Symbol panel. Why??!?

  8. alt+gr typing pass through

    So, after spending an hour googling through different people having language / character issues with alt+gr on windows in Illustrator, I think I have identified what is happening (see screenshot)

    Win10 can do mixed display language / keyboard layout combinations that most Adobe products will handle just fine, but Illustrator seems to set keyboard language based on general language set, not on keyboard language set.

    So, if I type my normal alt gr+q for @ symbol or alt gr+e for € symbol on a german layout while using english language with german keyboard, it does not pass through as altgr+e…

  10. Export for screens scale problem

    Sometime ago, I entered 0.2x in the scale field in the Export for Screens dialog. Now, in all documents, even if I set the scale to 1, I get the 0.2x scale. Even in new documents! I have even tried to delete the scale definition, it always comes back as 0.2x

  11. 不明なエラーと表示され保存ができない

    Windows 10 Home 64bit
    Illustrator2021 25.3.1(64bit)

    不明なエラーと表示され、保存が一切できない状況が発生します。
    こちらの環境で再現可能な手順を2パターン示します。

    【パターン1】
    1.AdobeFontsからアクティベートしたフォントを使用したaiファイルを用意する。
    2.PC本体の起動直後など、ネットワークに接続した直後に1のファイルを開く。CCアカウントの連携がうまくいっていないのか画像1枚目の「環境にないフォント」というダイアログが表示されるので、この画面からフォントをアクティベートし、ダイアログを閉じる。(フォントは問題なく使用可能になる。)
    3.ファイルに何か変更を加え、保存可能な状態にする。
    4.ファイルを保存を選択する。このとき、画像2枚目の「不明なエラー」というエラーボックスが表示され、ファイルを一切保存することができなくなっています。(上書き保存、別名で保存、複製を保存のすべてで同エラーが発生。新しいファイルを作成して3のファイルのデータをコピーペーストしたものも同様に保存が不可能。また、2でアクティベートしたフォントを含むオブジェクトを削除しても保存は不可能。)

    【パターン2】
    1.PC本体の起動直後など、ネットワークに接続した直後にIllustratorを起動する。
    2.既存ドキュメントを開くか新規作成し、Illustrator上でAdobeFontsから新しいフォントをアクティべ―トする。
    3. 2でアクティベートしたフォントを使用した状態で、ファイルを保存しようとすると、不明なエラーと表示されパターン1の手順4と同じ状態になっています。

    検証中の操作画面のキャプチャも動画で用意しましたが、ファイルサイズ制限のためか添付できませんでした。下記リンクよりご確認ください。
    パターン1 https://youtu.be/6aorYeFh__Q
    パターン2 https://youtu.be/HbZ1WKIP-gc

    何の問題もなく編集できていたファイルが突然保存不可能となるため、それまでの作業時間が無駄になり非常に困ります。
    早急に改善をお願いいたします。

  12. GPU not detected

    Restarted Illustrator and suddenly it isn't detecting my GPU.

    AI Version: 25.3.1 (Tested back to 25.0.1)
    OS: Win 10 pro 64, 20H2
    GPU: RTX 3080 FE: GRD 471.11 (Tested 471.41 and more)
    CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x (No internal graphics)

    Every other Adobe application is still detecting the GPU as intended.

    I was using AI without any problem, closed it, went for lunch, came back and opened ai again. Scrubby zoom wasn't working anymore -- ai didn't detect a compatible GPU.

    Already DDU'd back to different versions, wiped ai and reinstalled different versions, reset rpeferences, turned GPU acceleration (win) on/off, gave…

  13. Modifying stroke width of paths with mixed aspects totally erases their Appearance

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    When I try to modify the stroke width of multiple paths that have mixed aspects, it totally erases their Appearance instead.

    In the attached video, I have 3 paths that are similar except for their stroke colour. When I try to change their width from 0,5mm to 1mm, their Appearance become "empty. :-(

  14. Duplicated symbols reverts to originals / or not!!

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    Let's say I have 3 symbols, A, B and C.

    A is the original symbol in my external Symbol Library file (blue in the attached video)
    B is that symbol, imported into my current file and modified (I changed it to green in the video)
    C is a duplicate of B, in my current file, also modified (red in the video)

    When I copy C, I expect C to be pasted. But it's actually B.
    (in the video, red is copied but green is pasted)

    Moreover, when I try to "reimport" the original…

  17. Align with preview bounds doesn't work with transform effect copies

    I created a gear by creating a circle, then a box for one of the pieces. I created a point in the middle of the circle and grouped the box with that point. Then I used the transform effect on that group to create a circular array. Then I grouped that and added a pathfinder-Add effect to make it one piece, but still keep it nice and editable. Then I punched a hole in the middle by adding another circle, grouping it to that, and adding an effect, pathfinder-Subtract.
    I then added two lines of text as one object. Those,…

  19. Illustrator v 25.3.1 on Mac Big Sur 11.4 Drag n drop multiple photos not dropping

    Adobe support support recommended I post here. When dragging multiple images from Photos, it grabs all images, but only drops 1 image. Copy and paste doesn't work either.

  20. レイヤー名が入力しづらい

    Mac mini (M1, 2020)
    Bigsur11.4
    Illustrator25.3.1

    日本語の変換周りの問題かと思うのですが、レイヤー名が入力しづらいです。Photoshopでは問題がないので、Illustrator固有の問題か、私の環境がIllustrator上でのみおかしいのかと思います。

    レイヤー名を変更しようとする時、
    1・バックスペースで消去しようとすると文字が確定してしまう
    2・Tagキーで変換候補を選択しようとすると文字が確定してしまう

    伝わるかどうか不安ですが、動画を添付します。
    ずっと困っているので解決したいです。

    日本語の macOS のシステム環境設定>キーボード>入力ソースの「推測候補表示」が有効時に表示される変換候補ポップアップリストは、「Tabキーで予測された単語を選択」できる仕様です。

    しかし、Illustrator の場合、 Tabキーでは変換候補リスト項目の移動はされずに、パネルやダイアログ UI 上の次の項目に移動され、変換されていない文字が確定入力されしまうことを確認いたしました。

    追跡調査を行っております。
    開発の進展などがありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。
