  1. Unexplained distortion on output

    Mac Pro (Late 2013) OS Catalina 10.15.7.
    the last two days on multiple items and workstations we have had unexplained distortion on files processed. Usual operation of drop postscript file into hot folder for output. Expected solid box with length of 67.9375. Actual solid box has length of 67.4375. This happened with several different items. Only work around we have that has actually worked is to put the file on a new document and color everything black. We can't do that on all our files. Please help

  3. Eyedrop multiple fills

    Please allow there to be an option on the eyedropper tool to select multiple fills on appearances to apply to another object. Example; with pattern design, we create a top transparent pattern than a second fill with a solid color to create the final pattern. We would like to be able to easily apply those two fills to another object

  5. Ipad Pro illustrator top layer select

    Sometimes I have an issue selecting the top layer only on iPad Pro illustrator while selecting other layers flawlessly.. Noticed this when importing back from desktop illustrator app. Not sure if that matters but curious if anyone else has had issue?

  7. spostare un qualsiasi oggetto

    Ho appena aggiornato la versione ad Illustrator 25.0, ho aperto un file pdf e risalvato in formato illustrator, peccato che quando voglio spostare un blocco di oggetti o anche uno solo mi dice che non posso perché è IMPOSSIBILE la modifica potrebbe rendere alcuni degli oggetti troppo grandi. Come la risolvo?

  10. Zoom on drag, not after

    Zooming involves pressing the command key and the space bar, and then clicking and dragging the mouse. The speed and duration of the drag is replicated in the zoom on screen. Or so it used to be.
    All of a sudden now, when I click, instead it draws a box, the contents of which then fill my monitor — but only when I release it.
    It used to zoom in on the mouse drag - but now it waits until I’ve completed the box. How do I toggle back to the previous settings?

  11. Illustrator 25 super slow save & crash on deleting FX

    1. It's taking a long amount of time to save even a small file.

    2. Everytime I try to delete an effect (so far any I have tried from the effects menu), the program crashes.

    3. Illustrator lags/freezes between each operation.

  13. Proportionales Skalieren einer Gruppe

    Catalina 10.15.5 | Ai 25.0
    Beim proportionalen Skalieren einer Gruppe (bei mir ein Kreis mit icon, der einen Durchmesser von 20 mm hat) wird zum einen ein Maß von 20 (b) x 12,867 (h) angezeigt und beim proportionalen skalieren auf ein Zieldurchmesser von 25 mm entsteht eine Ellipse. Ich erwarte eine korrekte Anzeige bei einem Kreis von 20 x 20 mm und beim proportionalen Skalieren ebenso.

  15. Live text with customs appearance glitches when on top of a locked image

    Using Appearance, modified text (fill with outline in this case) gets buggy when modified on top of a locked image.

    I have been able to re-create this issue on my end at least.

  16. Lag on every move I make!!

    Moving an object. Changing the tool. Changing a colour. Everything move I make in illustrator brings up the colour wheel of death. Just moved from CS6 to CC, worst move ever.

  19. Rotate and Scale Tool sometimes affects all points on a path instead of just selected points

    In previous versions of Illustrator (before 2021), if you had individual anchor points selected and you used the rotate tool, it would rotate all selected points and leave unselected points stationary. This was useful for quickly editing only part of a path.

    Now, in 2021, sometimes the rotate or scale tool rotates all the points, regardless if they were unselected.

    Note that in my recording, the skirt's anchor points work as expected. But the sandal's points transform the whole group of objects.
