    I've been experiencing an issue that whenever I convert a text to outlines and ungroup them, they all turn white and I have to recolor them.

  2. Opacity Scroll

    I used to be able to hover over the opacity % and just scroll with my mouse to actively change the opacity. Since the latest 2021 update, it will change the values shown in the bar, but will not apply them to the object.

  4. Pathview/Edges Problems

    iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
    3,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
    Radeon Pro 580 8 GB
    macOS Catalina (10.15.6)
    Adobe Illustrator (25.2)

    Path are not completly visible.
    Edges are not shown as they are.

    Without GPU the Edges and Path look normal. But its to slow to work with.

  6. Compatibilité système requis Vidéo Nvidia

    Je suis sous windows 10, illustrator 25.2 64bits dernière version, à chaque lancement de l'application apparait une fenêtre "compatibilité système requis" pour video Nvidia Geforce GT620. J'ai réparé en prenant la dernière version du pilote sur NVidia GeForce GT 620 v.23.21.13.9135. Mais la fenêtre apparaît toujours ??? Que dois-je faire pour solutionner ce problème. Merci

  7. Perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.

    Depuis la version 25.1 perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.
    Lors de l'import de fichiers DXF à partir d'un logiciel CAD (Solid Edge), chaque pièce de l'assemblage était reconnue par Illustrator (1 pièce = 1 calque).
    Ce n'est plus le cas depuis les dernières mise à jour (dernière mise à jour qui fonctionne : 25.0.1)

  8. Info panel useless for graphs

    [Illustrator 25.0, Windows 10 Enterprise]
    When using Group Select tool to select an element within a graph, the Info panel shows nonsensical values (e.g. W: -2730p6 H: -2730p6 ). Since the Transform panel has never shown values for graph elements (grayed out, 0 and 0), we relied on the Info panel to check the size of graph elements.
    We use Illustrator exclusively for graphs, and this bug makes it impossible to follow our sizing standards.
    This is an ongoing bug, every graph, every element of it, all the time.
    Please fix the Info panel, or better yet, make the Transform…

  10. Imported colors from Creative Cloud Library appear twice on the swatch panel

    I am running on Windows 10 (intel i7 8565U, 16 GB RAM) and Adobe Illustrator 25.2.

    Whenever I try to import colors from the CC library (select colors, right click, add colors to swatch), the colors then appear twice on the panel (see the attached video). I have tried to reset my illustrator preferences, but still experiencing a similar issue.

    I checked my InDesign and Photoshop by doing similar steps, and they work just fine. Is there anyone experiencing related issue? What did you do to make this work? Thank you.

  11. Intel HD Graphics 4600 unsupported video driver

    We've updated to the latest available driver from Intel for this integrated graphics card on our laptop.

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30196/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40

    However, Illustrator still warns of incompatibilities every time we launch it. We've set our discrete NVIDIA graphics card as the preferred GPU, and it's listed in the Edit > Preferences > Performance > GPU Details. However, Illustrator still appears to be trying to verify the Intel drivers. There's not an option to disable the onboard graphics chip in our BIOS (MSI laptop). We tried disabling the onboard graphics in Windows Device Manager, but that didn't appear to make any difference. We saw…

  12. All PNG's exported are blurry

    Every time I export a file to PNG, it comes out blurry. It also appears blurry when I turn on the pixel preview. I have never experienced this problem until I recently updated my version of Illustrator. Exporting to PDF does not cause an issue.

    I am using Windows 10 Pro version 19042.746, with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10500T CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz, Installed ram: 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable), 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

    Illustrator version 25.1

  13. DWG file won't display after Open... in Ai

    Want to import and edit a DWG drawing that functions perfectly on Autodesk website file preview page. (I don't use Autodesk.)
    All 67 layers and hundreds of sub-layers are listed on Layers panel and selected but Ai shows only a blank white page.
    System is Dell AW17 laptop with nVidia 1070 graphics; Ai reports Intel 530 graphics card 'unsupported driver' on startup but I am not using it; Windows 10 and Ai fully up to date

  14. ドロップシャドウのデフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなく4色になっている

    発見はMacOS Catalina（10.15.7）ですが、Windows10でも同様でした。
    Illustrator2021（25.2）のドロップシャドウにおいて、デフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなくC93%、M88%、Y89%、K80%になっています。RGBベースのカラー設定がCMYKモードに持ち越されているものと思われますが、印刷において事故の原因となりますので早急に修正願います。

  15. AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U Radeon GPU not recognized (but works in Premiere, Lightroom)

    Illustrator does not use the GPU (Setings->Performance says "Compatible GPU not available", even though below the device is listed under "GPU Details".

    However, all other Adobe CC apps (Lightroom, Premiere) do recognize and use the GPU without any problems.

    Windows 10, (v2004, build 19041.746); Illustrator 25.2 (64-bit)

    MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1 (20D74)
    Memory 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
    Graphic AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB

    I'm experiencing a jittery/buggy/flickering mouse cursor when my cursor's about to change mode, to type mode or other different pointers.
    Explanation in GIF: https://i.stack.imgur.com/c3tBo.gif

    This also occurs in both Safari and Chrome while I'm opening any Adobe application. It also occurs in other non-hyperlink instances of the mouse cursor changing, such as hovering over the drag handle when resizing Finder columns.

    Every time the mouse transitions from the hyperlink pointer to…
