    2 Illustrator2021で作成したデータを2022(最新版)で開き、デザインのバリエーションの作成を行おうとした。配置されている画像は2つ。うち1点の差し替えを行った。(Photoshopデータのリンクを変更)。差し替えた画像の大きさを変更するため、リサイズを行ったところ、アプリケーションがクラッシュ。復元データにより、1つ前の手順まではデータが残っており、作業の続行ができた。が、再び同じ作業(配置画像のリサイズ)でクラッシュ。
    3 続行したデータを開き直し、もう一度作業のやり直しをしようと思った。
    4 2つのリンク画像が消失した。『「」というリンクファイルが見つかりません』というアラートが繰り返し出る(「」というファイル名をつけたことはない)。エラーの起きていなかった配置画像も消失し、リンク情報そのものが消えてしまった。
    5 エラーの起きたデータを添付します。確認のため、開き直しているので日付がエラーの起きた当時のものではなく、本日のものに書き換わっているようですが、保存はせずに閉じています。

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックにご協力いただきありがとうございます。

    日本語担当の PCM Maro です。
    すでに再編集で問題が解決されているとのことですが、いくつか補足説明させていただきます。

    『「」というリンクファイルが見つかりません』というアラートの「」ですが、本来ならばカッコ内にリンクファイル名が表示されるのですが、クラッシュにより、ファイル情報が欠落してしまったと思われます。(通常はリンク切れでもファイル情報は保存されています)

    今後、クラッシュが発生するような場合は、クラッシュ後に表示されるクラッシュレポートの送信機能をご利用ください。
    また、クラッシュの再現手順が明確であるような場合は、こちらの UserVoice にご登録ください。

    こちらのレポートは対応終了とさせていただきますが、コメントはオープンしておきますので、追加情報があるような場合は、コメントをお寄せください。

    今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

  2. Resolve Blinking Power Issues Netgear

    When the users of Netgear face an issue where the power LED is blinking, then the steps which they would have to undertake are as mentioned below:
    • The users can turn off the Netgear router, most often this would solve the issue which the users are facing.
    • Try restoring the Netgear router to its original configuration. To get this done, the users would have to keep pressing the reset button which is located at the back side of the router.
    • If the error remains, it is suggested that you connect the PC directly to the router’s LAN…

  3. Problem merging dates from CSV into graph

    When merging data into an Illustrator file to create a batch of bar graphs based on a group of CSV files, numerical dates merge into the graph data as numbers with decimals instead of dates. A 6/30/16 date merges into Illustrator as 6.00 and 12/31/16 becomes 12.00, so every date with the same month appears the same. This also messes up the graph, leaving the chart with two categories instead of one of the data columns being assigned to the x-axis.

    This includes when dates are formatted (in Excel) as text, and when the dates include hyphens or periods instead…

  4. Pathfinder Merge actually Dividing, leaving cut out objects behind

    This might be easier to read on the forums where the images are inline with the explanation, but I copy pasted everything here anyway. Here's the thread.

    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2601397

    This has been a thorn in my side for so long I can no longer ignore it. I don't know when it happened but at some point Illustrator's Merge tool started dividing objects instead of merging them, and leaves behind cut up versions of objects that are behind the visible objects.

    The objects had the Overprint attribute checked in Attributes panel. With this option on Illustrator leaves fragments unmerged to match the assumed intention behind having Overprint one. This is a normal expected behaviour, but not a transparent one.

    If you have this problem, don’t hesitate to leave the comment to force the team to rethink the UX behind this.

  5. Layers Won't Expand or Collapse, Locking and Hiding Layers Struggle to Work 25.4.1

    I've been having an issue with my layers panel. The layers won't expand or collapse as the title suggests. Every time I click the arrow to either expand or collapse a layer/group nothing happens. It struggles to view/hide layers when the eye icon is pushed, same with locking layers.

    I'm on version 25.4.1 on Windows, no plugins, no tablet.

    Things I've done to try and remedy this:
    -Restarted program
    -Restarted Computer
    -Tried to clear preferences (several times alt+Ctrl+shift on startup)
    -Attempted to go manually into clear preferences at "<OSDisk>\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings\en_US*\x64\Adobe Illustrator Prefs" I got to ...roaming\adobe\adobe illustrator,…

  6. Where to begin?

    The progression of Illustrator over the last 2 years has become maddening. Im sure this will never be read but having come to the end of my tether i need to say something somewhere. Firstly, at work, i use the same size image and format to start 99.9% of all my work. Yet every time i open illustrator, i have to put thoise dimensions in manually, in the recent section is just has 3 standard sizes (one of which is only ever used in the US, i am not in the US)

    Secondly, every time i open illustrator it reverts…

  8. Crash when clicking on options in … (More Options) popup in the Properties panel

    This one exist for at least a year: when object is selected and Properties panel docked to the right, click on the … (More Options) button in the Transform section. Then it either crashes immediately or when some option is modified (like "Scale Strokes and Effects").

    I remember I reported that while ago, but got no reply and obviously no attention from support team.

  9. Resizing objects makes them taller instead of equal width and height

    Quick update:

    Adobe's senior support and dev have confirmed the issue does exists in the files we have sent them which uses this particular illustration. They believe this issue is due to the file being created in the older 32 bit version of Illustrator before the transition to the 32 and 64 bit versions of Illustrator and no longer scales properly as today's version is only 64 bit.

    They have logged this as a feature request and but will not be categorized as a bug at this time.


    Since 24.3, resizing certain complex grouped objects while maintaining the ratio using…

  11. Global swatches unlinking from grayscale gradient

    I'm on a Mac Pro using Mojave version 10.14.6
    Using Illustrator 2020 & 2021, both updated to latest iterations.

    I have a gradient one piece object, I turn a copy of it grayscale through the Edit Color feature > convert to grayscale, I extract the grays generated and ensure global swatches is on to keep swatches linked. Each of this swatch I rename to a specific designation. I used this grayscale gradient and use it as an opacity mask, this serves as a density mask that allows me to control the opacity of each section of the color gradient separately.…

  12. Previous tool continues after selecting new tool

    Over the past few weeks I've noticed that when I switch tools sometimes the characteristics of the previous tool continue rather than it switching to the new tool (but it shows the new tool selected in the Toolbar.

    So, for example, if I'm using the Selection Tool and then click on the Direct Selection Tool it shows in the Toolbar that I have the Direct Selection Tool activated and the cursor is the Direct Selection Tool one but the tool behaves like the Selection Tool (i.e. I can't select individual points).

    Saving the file seems to fix the issue and…

    I am a type designers & I use illustrator in building & testing fonts as part of my production workflow. I use the same array of font apps along with my cc2019 suite on 2 different machines. One is a mac mini one is an imac, both are on the latest mac os.

    On the mac mini, with Illustrator open I can see changes to a font immediately reflected in the document. In other words if I replace a .otf or .ttf font file installed at mac hd/library/fonts…

  18. Diagrams pasted from excel (office 365 version) to adobe illustrator on MAC cannot show correct font of numbers and characters

    It seems that the original version of excel (such as office 2013 and office 2016) do not have this problem. However, diagrams pasted from excel to clipboard is correct. So there may be some problem in transfering diagrams from latest excel version.

  20. Gradient panel - Angle tab flashing and temporarily freezing program

    This is a new problem today - I have restarted Adobe and my mac and no fix.

    Summary -

    I have my panels displayed on my UI - The gradient angle tab (even when no gradient is applied) begins to flash repeatedly and quickly - This causes the program to freeze for the second it is flashing.

    Further, once it has completed flashing it changes my tool randomly - I have had it change from move to artboard, from shape to pen, it seems random. Also the I have tried a different keyboard so it is not a bug in…
