  1. Outline 0.001pt isn't even - Laser doesn't understand path

    When we use an outline of 0.01pt the path is even, when we decrease the path to 0.001pt for the laser to understand we get an uneven line. How do we fix this?

  2. 「レビュー用に共有」で塗りがネガポジ反転する。

    「レビュー用に共有」をしたときリンク先で表示されるドキュメントの塗りや線の色がネガポジ反転してしまいました。
    色々と試してみたところ、カラー絵文字フォントが原因のようで、アウトライン化したら正しく表示されるようになりました。
    アウトライン化前とアウトライン化後のファイルを共有しておきます。
    (正しい塗りの色は青です)

    こちらはリリース版(27.4.1)、プレリリース版(27.6)どちらも再現しました(Mac OS、Ventura)。
    Windows11のリリース版も同様です。
    いずれもブラウザはChrome。MacはSafariでも試しました。

  4. I can't scale objects, neither with basic arrow tool, it feels like this one is the same of the white arrow.

    I can't scale objects, neither with basic arrow tool. It feels like it's the same of the white arrow. I tried changing area's work, illustrator version, but nothing happens. It just doesn't work, shift + click doesn't scale any object, nothing happens when i click on the angle, it only shows me the anchor points just like the white arrow...

  5. Visual glitch

    White patches on screen when working on full pack layouts. To remove it and view the artwork correctly, Overprinting Preview has to be turned on, but it makes working slow.

  6. [ExtendScript] Incorrect paragraph count when linefeeds are used.

    MacOS 13.3.1, Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1

    To see the issue, run this script:
    ```
    (function () {

    var doc = app.documents.add();
    
    var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf1.position = [100, 100];
    tf1.contents = 'Paragraph one\u000DParagraph two';
    
    var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf2.position = [200, 100];
    tf2.contents = 'Paragraph one\u0003still paragraph one';
    alert('Paragraph counts\n2 paragraphs: ' + tf1.paragraphs.length + '\n1 paragraphs with forced line break:\n ' + tf2.paragraphs.length);
    

    })();
    ```

    I expect the left text frame to have 2 paragraphs and the right text frame to have 1 paragraph, but the right text frame is incorrectly shown to have 2 paragraphs.

    This discussion revolves around…

  7. [ExtendScript] Line feed \u000A character assigned to text contents is converted to carriage return

    MacOS 13.3.1, Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1
    Also reported on Windows same version of Illustrator.

    Steps to reproduce.
    To see problem, run this script
    ```
    (function () {

    var doc = app.documents.add();
    
    var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf1.position = [100, 100];
    tf1.contents = 'Break\u000Ame.';
    alert('Linefeed (10)\n charCode = ' + tf1.contents.charCodeAt(5));
    
    var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf2.position = [200, 100];
    tf2.contents = 'Break\u0003me.';
    alert('End-of-text (3)\n charCode = ' + tf2.contents.charCodeAt(5));
    

    })();
    ```
    I would expect the text on the left to have a line feed (u+000A) character, but it is converted to a carriage return (u+000D).
    The text on the right is a workaround,…

  8. export

    hi all,
    when i dragNdrop a vector group in the window "export files", illustrator add big space at the top and at the right of the vector group. On hard drive, i obtain a big picture with a lot of space.
    After several tests, the window "export for files" exports correctly artboards but no files !!??
    I use in this picture, deform texte with a vector behind.
    i install the last version of illustrator.
    i work on OSX Monterey.
    bye

  9. Resaving a file that is being currently saved makes it loose changes

    Steps: Save and Save As

    While the file is processing the save, if you save a copy or with another name, the changes made in that initial save are completely lost (in some update this problem appeared, in the past it was not like that).

  10. EPS color bug

    Adobe illustrator keeps changing the colors of .eps images that I link. Both profiles are set to RGB so that should not be a problem.

  12. Still unable to handle screen magnification in Windows

    When opening Illustrator 2023 on my 4K monitor with a 1080p monitor also attached, in Windows 11, most of the opening dialog is scaled way off the screen. There is no way to drag the window far enough up to get to the Cancel and Close buttons making it virtually impossible to start a new document. This is another example of how poorly illustrator deals with screen magnification and high resolution monitors. Trying to open the window on my 1080p monitor is significantly worse.

  13. Problem with mouse wheel when switching applications with ALT+TAB Windows

    When switching from Illustrator to another application with the key combination ALT+TAB, using the mouse wheel (e.g.: zoom) no longer works correctly. The application must first be minimized and then maximized again for the Maurad to function normally again.

    Beim Wechel von Illustrator in einer andere Anwendung mit der Tastenkombination ALT+TAB funktioniert das Verwenden des Mausrades (z.B.: Zoom) nicht mehr korrekt. Die Anwendung muss erst minimiert und dann wieder maximiert werden, damit das Maurad wieder normal funktioniert.

  14. Slow opening of Illustrator.

    I have had the following problem for a few years now (therefore different versions of Illustrator, let's say from 2020-2023).

    When I start Illustrator, opening the first (I specify the first) document that is an Empty table or an already existing document that Ai takes an exaggerated amount of time! Then, after this step, the other documents are opened in normal times.
    This happens to me from different versions of the software, and it also happens if I close the software and restart it to open a document, or if I start Ai after restarting my computer.

    the hardware is…

  15. text deleted and exporting empty

    This happened some time ago but this time I need and explanation from Adobe. I exported this file yesterday and it worked perfectly. I opened today and some text is removed as you see in the image.
    When you export to PDF, some pages (that look ok, just with removed text on Ilustrator) look completely empty, other pages hace some elements missing.
    When you try and save the ilustrator file it shows the error you see.

    I cannot share the ilustrator file since its sensitive infomation but sent screenshot. If someone from Adobe send me an email to marcos@mercadoglobal.org to…

  18. Incorrect word count via script

    At some point (I think v27) Illustrator has changed its word counting/division algorithm.

    So, where previously the results were sensible:
    "This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 4
    "This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 4
    "I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 5
    "I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 5

    In version 27.4 the results are now confused:
    "This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 1
    "This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 3
    "I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 4
    "I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 2

    For a discussion on the topic, and a testing script, see this thread.

    Note: maybe this bug was introduced while fixing this bug.

  20. Bad polish translation. 3D and materials

    In 3D and materials tools. Inflate properties has translated volume to "głośność" which means loudness in polish. It should be translated to "objętość" instead.
    Clearly translator had no context.
    In the same menu there is a lot of issues with translation too, but that one was most bizzare to me and made me come here to post this issue.
    Someone really should take a closer look at it.
    Thanks
