  1. variable font

    There's some sort of bug in AI 25.2.1 where the variable font icon disappears after working for some time. A properly installed OT variable font doesn't have the icon to adjust its width axis.

  2. Las acciones no se guardan correctamente

    He guardado acciones para reproducirlas, pero cuando lo reproduzco no aparece todo lo que había hecho, de que sirve guardarlo si cuando lo vas a usar el resultado no es el que estas esperando, por favor arreglen eso, me estarían ahorrando un montón de tiempo, muchas gracias

  3. Colors not displaying correctly in Illustrator 25.2.1

    Colors are displaying brighter and incorrectly in CMYK color mode. I've color calibrated my monitor; restarted my computer; uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and still all files pulled into Illustrator are displaying this way.

    Mac Big Sur 11.2.3 Illustrator 25.2.1

    I have had trouble with a corrupted preference file in the past, but I also tried deleting the file and reinstalling with no change. I've uploaded a screen shot of how the colors are displaying.

  4. Rotation of a text while Snap to Grid is on

    You can't rotate a text with the Rotate tool when Snap to grid is on.

    Please watch the GIF attached.

    Then try to replicate.

    Open the attached document.
    Enable Snap to Grid.
    Select text.
    Grab Rotate tool.
    Hold Shift (or even do not).
    Try to rotate the text.
    Failure?
    If yes, move it a bit to the side (with snapping still on) and try again.
    Experiment a bit with different positions.

  7. Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.

    It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save
    a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.

  8. Relinks the wrong pictures

    Ai wouldn't save, so I tried restarting my computer, since it last time recovered everything, but this time it totally messed everything up in the recovering file. Things were missing and it kept asking me to replace pictures which in the end were replaced with the wrong ones, even though I relinked to the new location for each picture. Now Ai just seems to be super confused about all the links.

  9. Crashes whenever I use the Type tool

    Illustrator 2021 is crashing whenever I draw a text box, or attempt to select a the text box. I get the greyed out 'not responding' and either have to force close the programme or it crashes.

    Occasionally after 5 mins or so the grey screen and 'not responding' will disappear and I am able to draw a text box, however I am unable to type in it. VERY ANNOYING! My Illustrator version is up to date, using a PC, I have tried closing all other applications and restarting my machine.

  10. shape generator

    Hi! I have problem with shape generator tool, because it just doesn't work at all. I tried to solve this issue with solutions on forum but it also didn't work. I relased layers, try to play with distance length, reset the preferences of programme. So now I am just hopeless and frustrated. I tried all of these solutions on diffrent files. And I don't know, did update cause that??

    I am using illustrator ver 25.2.1, on PC win 10. (creative cloud)

  11. Info panel not reporting all points coordinates in 2021

    Previously, the Info panel reported the coordinates of any point that was clicked. In the 2021 version 25.2.1, when clicking on individual points in the same shape, Illustrator only reports the top left coordinate.

  12. .AI files won't open after latest update (25.2.1)

    Updated to version 25.2.1 a few days ago and now I can't get any .AI files to open without going straight to file>open.

  13. Illustrator CC 2020 Saving Unknown Error

    Illustrator won't let me save my files. I've tried to open another new file to save my files and the same error has occurred unless I have the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned off. I have never encountered this before and this is my first time encountering this problem.

  14. can't use the hand tool while using type tool anymore

    If you're using the type tool, you used to be able to hit the command key, then press the space bar to bring up the hand tool to move the canvas around without affecting the type. It's worked this way for years and years. Now, however, when you bring up the hand tool while type is selected, the space bar adds spaces while the hand tool is also operating. Please fix this!

    This is another one of dozens of examples of things that worked flawlessly in Illustrator for years, but is now fundamentally broken. These types of problems are plaguing…

  15. Illustrator 25.2.1 zoom doesn't work correctly after import files

    After you import any tipe of file into the program a bug occurs modifying the use of the zoom tool so is impossible make a gradual zoom because a box like a "selection box" is created that brings the zoom to a very high percentage.
    It is also no longer possible to zoom out.
    This bug ONLY occurs if you import an external file into Illustrator and it won't fix it by deleting it or restarting the program.

  16. illustrator2021 artboard

    If you open another version (CC2019, etc.) in illustrator2021, the X-axis and / or Y-axis of the artboard will shift by about 0.0001 (fractions will appear).
    I would like you to teach me some good solutions or improve them.

  18. Non-uniform scaling of rounded rectangles

    When scaling a rounded rectangle non-uniformly, the corners should distort from circular arcs to elliptical sections.
    Instead, I get resized rounded corners, and Adobe tech support is calling it a "feature".

  20. GPU se desactiva perdiendo los perfiles de color en pantalla y tampoco permite ver Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba

    Sin motivo al parecer se cambiaron los colores de los PSD linkeados perdiendo los perfiles de color. Se cambió a CPU y no puedo volver a GPU porque aparece en gris, al igual que Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba. Al ir al Menú Edición/Ajustes de Color aparece "Emular Adobe Illustrator 6.0". Reinicio Illustrator y al abrir cualquier documento elimina los perfiles incrustados en él.
