Rotate tool doesn't center
When trying to select center while trying to rotate an object around another one, it doesn't center. It will put the center of rotation somewhere around the center of the second object. Like this everything rotated and copied is off center.
Not sure if it is related, but when selecting several items and want to align them horizontally, it just doesn't work. It is placed off the axis (imaginary horizontal line).

Can't resize objects, issue with selection tool
Can't resize objects like images or text boxes once they have been placed. Could only use scale and rotate for resizing items. Seems the selection tool isn't working as it should, or it's illustrator itself. I've seen this seems like a recurring problem over the years
2 votesThis often happens when the bounding box gets accidentally turned off, presumably with the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B hotkey. You can turn it back on with this key or do it with the View > Show Bounding Box command.

OBJECT > EXPAND creates SPIKES in geometry
I use Illustrator to create emboss patterns for production tooling. When delivering my patterns, all geometry must be EXPANDED and represented as real vector lines so that the engravers can mill out the tool.
Recently, when I EXPAND the patterns I make (OBJECT > EXPAND), I'm starting to see random SPIKES in my outlined strokes when using the EXPAND tool in the menu. This problem is reproducible on my machine, but it does appear to be random. Sometimes it does it, and sometimes it doesn't. My vector curve is stroked at 0.03 inches.
This problem is causing CRITICAL delays in…

Illustrator 27.6.1 randomly freezing...
This is happenng to a few of the machines in my office. AI will randomly stop responding. The window will grey out and the only way to resolve is to force quit (I've given it an hour once to see if it resolved itself, but no).

Toggling Layer Visibility now Lags Greatly with each New Layer Added after introduction of Search to Layers
In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.
Here's how to reproduce the BUG that has been introduced into ILLUSTRATOR now:
I'm using a - Windows 10 Desktop
Illustrator v 27.6.1
ASUS Laptop with 40 GB of RAM
1TB SSD drives and plenty of scratch disk and page file space.Reproduction Steps:
- create a new Illustrator document 1920x1080

At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.

Shapes drawn with the pencil tool are always created with the basic fill appearance, even if "new art has basic appearance" is not checked.
- Create a new Illustrator document.
- In the Appearance panel, deselect "New art has basic appearance", if it's selected.
- Select the pencil tool and use it to draw a curved line.
- Set the stroke of the line to 10 point and the color to red.
- Set the fill to black.
- Draw another line with the pencil tool. The stroke is 10 point red, but the fill reverts to none.
- Repeat with the pen tool. This time, the fill stays black when a second line is drawn.
This problem was not present in earlier versions of Illustrator.
System: Adobe Illustrator 27.6.1, M2…
1 voteThis is due the 'Fill new pencil strokes' option in the Pencil Tool Options dialog — it forces the new paths drawn with the pencil to drop their fills, even though the New Art Has Basic Appearance option may suggest both will be preserved.

AI 2023 no longer saving older as CS6 files that get recognized by other programs
Illustrator 2023 version 27.6.1 no longer saves a file as CS6 that works with RD Works, a program used for laser cutting and engraving. I know it is due to Illustrator 2023. When I imported a previous project created in Illustrator 2022 and saved it as a CS6 file, they imported perfectly into RD Works without any problems. RD Works has never been updated on my computer for three years. Attached is a CS6 that opens properly in Illustrator yet is not seen by RD Works.
I may have to uninstall Illustrator 2023 and go to an older version to…1 vote
