  1. Differences in safed SVG

    There are several differences in the produced SVG depending on the way a user takes for export or safe.
    A little example:
    I need for technical reasons the properties Width and Height for the artboard size. When i export from AI to SVG using 'export' this property is added if the checkbox for export the artboard size. Now, open the produced SVG again and simply pick safe, and the properties are gone.
    There are many more differences.

    Would you please change the SVG generator to make more common results?

  3. Content in the Search Adobe Help (top right) box will be randomly pasted into the filename when entering a typing in the Save As dialog box

    Content that is in the Search Adobe Help (top right) box will be randomly pasted into the filename when entering a typing in the Save As dialog box.

    Note that it only happens between 5% and 10% of the time. T

    he only steps I can do to reproduce occasionally are to move the curser left or right or type a letter with the Save As dialog box open after typing something into the Search Adobe Help box.

    For those of you wondering why there is data in the Search Adobe Help box, I paste into and then copy from…

  5. Exporting multiple artboards in Illustrator CC does not accept layer masks

    I work for a big company where we create illustrator files with multiple artboards in them (kinda like a sequence) and then export them as PNG for our website.
    Its a type of a users manual. We have to crop our artwork with masks, so that one artwork doesnt overlap the other. To do this, we use clipping masks. While my coworkers make the mask over the artwork, which groups all the layers together, I greate a new layer, make it a clipping mask and then drag the artwork into that clipping layer, so I can keep my layers, since…

  6. Can't open any files.

    Illustrator won't open any files at all. Every time I try to open one (doesn't matter what file type) it causes the program to turn unresponsive.

  9. Dropbox Smart Sync Enhancement (bug still here)

    If you use Dropbox Smart Sync, when you browse files in Dropbox folders to find an open/save location, Adobe softwares (AI, PS, Acrobat...) download automatically all the files in folders you are browsing !

    It's said in the Adobe blog that Adobe dev team made an improvement in the march 2018 release (https://theblog.adobe.com/introducing-march-release-illustrator-cc/).
    But we still have the issue on several macbooks at work. It's really boring.

  10. Type On A Path text not sticking exactly to path

    When Type On A Path is applied to a circle, some type is input, and the type is rotated by effect (not permanently), the type no longer stays on the path.

  12. Crash while setting up Action

    Illustrator crashes every-time I try to set up a new action. I am trying to create a shade effect of a "sticker" but doing the following:
    - Take outline vector (which is white path)
    - Duplicate
    - Switch to fill
    - Change color to black
    - Apply Shear at 20 degrees
    - Edit opacity to 20%
    - Crash

    Just curious as to why this happening. Possibly due to my file size? 162.5 MB

  13. Pen tool located in type tools

    Took me a while to find but found the pen tool hanging out with the type tools. Please stop fixing things that are not broken. I remember before CC things works pretty well. Now every time there's an update, some other bugs pop up that weren't there before. Is this just a way for engineer job security? Well whatever it is, its becoming a major pain.

    Hi,

    There was an issue in 23.0 causing tools to shift between groups. This has been fixed in latest update (23.0.2). After update, please reset the Basic and Advanced toolbars by opening the tool drawer (3 dots at bottom of the tool bar), then using ‘Reset’ from the fly-out menu (on top right).

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

    With Best Regards,
    Raghuveer Singh

  14. Illustrator loses focus after editing in group

    When a group is double clicked to edit inside (isolation mode), on leaving isolation mode the Illustrator application loses focus and clicking on any tool has no effect. To regain focus the icon in the Windows Taskbar has to be clicked.

  16. Overall dissatisfaction with Illustrator

    The frequency of issues is just staggering. Files freeze on open, freeze on save, struggle with server connections, never seem to remember any recent files, or you just seem to get a beach ball for minutes on end with no clue if you need to restart or if you should just wait it out. I use illustrator more than any program and it sometimes ends up being my biggest hindrance.

  17. File Not Rendering From Cold Start

    Opening an illustrator file while Illustrator is closed will load Illustrator as normal but won't render the file once its loaded. The file is open but refuses to show with only the Recent files/New file screen showing, but with all the UI for a working file.

    Only way to gain access is to force quit Illustrator and load it without opening a file.

  20. Tool Windows Collapsed on Start

    Tool windows collapsed on start — make tool windows not collapsed on start. This has happened to me before, I don't remember what fixed it. This doesn't happen if the start screen for MacBook children is used.
