  1. svg repeated symbols are invisible

    When attached svg is opened in Adobe Illustrator 2020 - second usages of glyphs (B, 2, 0) are not displayed properly like in attached screenshot.
    Is this an issue with original svg (it looks fine in Chrome or Firefox) or Illustrator?

  5. PDF書き出しをすると時々、反映されないオブジェクトがある

    10コほどのレイヤーがあるイラストレーターをスクリプト:「レイヤーごとにPDF保存」にすると一番最後に書き出されたレイターの一部だけPDFに反映されないことがある。データが重たいとよく起こる。

  6. can't open new file or work on the app at all.

    I just downloaded Illustrator 2020 on my PC. The PC is a little old but has all the required specs to run the program. However whenever I open Illustrator and try to open a new file (after selecting my preferences page size etc) nothing pops up I still see the "welcome to Illustrator" home page but can still select the tools and see the blank artboards I just created however nothing gets applied to them visually but if I throw in a big black triangle I see it only on the thumbnail from the Layers panel which is obviously too…

  8. BUG - perspective grid - ground plane widgets disappear

    The Left and Right ground level widgets DISAPPEAR when the vanishing points are adjusted moderately far apart. There seems to be no way to make them visible again, which makes it hard to move the entire perspective grid to another location.

  9. BUG - perspective grid planes disappear permanently

    If the grid cell size is adjusted -- while some planes are turned off (with temporary SHIFT-hide function) -- the hidden planes cannot be made to reappear.

    1. Select Left plane. Hover grid tool over an intersection in Left plane.

    2. Press SHIFT. The right and ground planes disappear.

    3. Adjust cell size with diamond widget.

    4. Now try to make right plane or ground plane visible again -- gone forever.

    This bug seriously interferes with using the Perspective Grid tools.

  12. Save as .ai can be interrupted by another save

    If you are working on a new document, or opened an EPS or PDF, hit save as .ai and it does the background save, if you dont wait or dont realize it isnt finished, and try to save as PDF by way of example, the first save will not complete (ever) and this may result in a loss of data. Very reproducible

  13. AiRobin hogging huge amounts of RAM (between 12GB and 16 GB) and at times slows the machine down.

    I have turned off "background save / export" which is apparently the purpose of AiRobin. Nonetheless, it has continued to run for the couple of months since I turned those off. Today I had InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open momentarily; I try to avoid that, but usually it's fine for 5 or 10 minutes. This time it wasn't, and I could literally do nothing (even move the mouse for the most part) for close to 15 minutes. I was finally able to pull up Activity Monitor and I ended the process for AiRobin. Immediately things improved. But sure enough, AiRobin…

  14. SVG paste truncating curves

    Pasting SVG seems a bit broken. I have 1778 curves that I've copied from Rhino 3D WIP (it copies as SVG). I paste it to Illustrator, and Most of the curves automatically change to straight. Not only that, but it's automatically merging some of the points that are close together.

    This leads me to believe that Illustrator is rounding the points lower than it should.

    Enter Inkscape. I pasted there, and it's fine. I wanted to check to see if it was a failure of Rhino. So copied from Inkscape and paste to Illustrator....same issue.

    Copy only a Little of…

  16. After latest update, workspaces no longer work

    Any time I launch Illustrator now, it completely clears the interface (no tools, control bar, nothing). Additionally, if I try to select a workspace, it does nothing.

    I can bring the elements back in one-by-one, just like normal, but the Save Workspace is completely grayed out (I did have previously save workspaces).

    Needless to say, this is extremely frustrating to have to spend minutes re-setting up the interface each time I want to use it.

  17. Transform pattern only: setting height/width to 0 crashes Illustrator

    If you select "transform pattern only" option in Transform panel and (accidentally) set height or weight to 0 (mm in my case), then Illustrator crashes.

    It looks like your path using a brush applied to it, and it’s a loose and wobbling brush tip, not following the centerline. The fill knows nothing about the brush tip and strictly follows the vector path, unlike brush.

    To solve the problem, you’d either have to use a different brush and make the path look wobbly at the object level with other means, like Roughen effect, or expand the appearance of the objects and fix the fill manually.

  19. printing

    Mac OS 10.15.6
    Illustrator 24.2.3
    I used to be able to print from Illustrator using my Epson L3150 printer.
    It no longer prints. I used Default printing preset of Illustrator, then used default copy, then used custom. I checked and unchecked settings in advanced. All with the same result.
    I tested this even on old files which I was able to print last Aug 2020. Can't print.
    I opened the illustrator file in PDF and it was able to print.

    I would appreciate it if you can help solve this bug in Illustrator.
