  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. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  11. 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

  12. getSystemPath using CSInterface throws URI Malformed error

    I was trying to get the my documents folder path of the system using CSInterface getSystemPath function. It works in most of the cases. But it throws URI malformed error (refer the screenshot below), if the path of the documents folder contain characters from languages other than English.

    I debugged the CSInterface.js file at line 521. And I found that the below piece of code returns the path of the folder without encoding the characters from languages other than English.

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)

    IN MY CASE:

    Path of documents folder: "C:\Users\sanjay\OneDrive - Élégante\Documents".

    window.adobe_cep.getSystemPath(pathType)

  14. You just updated Illustrator and now can't connect to Pantone Connect

    When you guys updated Illustrator you made it so I can't connect to Pantone Connect - the arrow button to sign in to Pantone Connect after I type in my email address refuses to click so I can go to the next screen and type my password. And when I try to connect through one step sign in it doesn't recognize i already have a Premium account and wants me to pay again! This needs to be fixed immediately! I have work that needs Pantone colors right now!!!!

  16. Font not automatically updating embedded Font

    I am using an exported PDF from Autodesk Inventor where there is an embedded Font included but not showing i original PDF.
    I use Illustrator for Finetuning the PDF and also for updating the font.
    this last thing normally goes automatically when opening, Illustrator changes/updates it directly.
    Since today it didn't work, I was frustrated but then I tried downgrading to 27.1 and this did the trick.

    Please can you get this back straight and repair this.

    Thank you.

  17. PC performance issues when using the Shape Builder tool on dxf files (or vector format).

    When using the shape builder tool against a dxf file (or vector format), the CPU usage is not high and not working.

    When using Simplify on a dxf file (or vector format) to reduce the number of paths, the CPU usage increases to approximately 100%, confirming that the CPU is working correctly.
    This behavior makes sense since the calculations are done by the CPU since it is a vector format.

    However, when using the shape builder tool, the CPU and GPU functions are not used.
    I was checking the resource monitor and the CPU and GPU usage was about 3%~5%.

  18. Applescript Artboard Name no longer works

    Getting/Setting name of artboard no longer works. It used to work fine. It is an issue with class of properties. All options Fail.
    1. name of (get properties of artboard 1) -- error
    2. get item 7 of properties of artboard 1 -- error
    3. name of artboard 1 -- always failed

    If you insert «class bAl9» in place of Name and compile, it does not fail however will fail next time since the dictionary replaces it with Name

  20. Missing Pixels After Rendering 3d Objects

    Windows 11
    AI 2023 Version 27.4

    Whenever I render 3d objects in illustrator,
    missing pixels or weird scratches show up within
    the object. It doesn't matter if I change the
    lighting or material or size, the issues are still there.

    The scratches show up when I export the objects as well. My document raster effect settings are on 300 ppi.
    Also, changing from CPU/GPU view doesn't make
    a difference.

    This only started happening in the past few days.
    I've used this tool before on my computer W/o
    issues. My GPU is up to date. It’s equipped to handle everything. I’m…
