Under Review since 2017. This was broken since the introduction of the unnecessary place gun. Why wait 7/8 years to repair something that is broken?

Please fix this! It works in InDesign, but not in Illustrator. I want library items to go to the layer they were on when the asset was created and added to the library. I also want CC library to stop grouping my elements when I place them in the library. I end up with groups within groups because I have already grouped the elements in my Illustrator document. Please fix. This review has gone on far too long!

There is not much to review.
The bug started with the introduction of the place gun, which adds another click.
It could have been left as is was (and currently still is in Photoshop) just drag and drop it where you want.

I like to imagine it has been someone's entire job to sit in a room reviewing this for five years.

Still under review...

It is labeled as a feature request, but it is a bug,
How can we transfer it to the bug section?

Looks like the review takes a long time...

Forgetting the layers makes the asset library, placed artwork, etc. useless. Please fix!

I would dearly like to see this feature work in our studio too

Please revert back to the way the place copy from Adobe Libraries worked in the prior 2017 version. It was a wonderful productivity tool then and now... not so much

I have also posted a similar issue.

Product: Adobe Illustrator CC
Version: 22.1 (64-bit)

Problem: Artwork becomes misaligned/distorted on the artboard when (Create New > WEB preset (select any web preset) > Create).

Step to create issue: With the artboard open (with a web preset), select an illustration from the CC library and place COPY. If you place LINKED, the issue will not show up. The issue will only occur when you place a COPY of an artwork from the CC library.

Workaround: If you create any other type of preset document other than WEB, the issue will not happen. I've only seen this happen inside of WEB presents.

Expected result: As with other presets, it's expected that a COPY of the artwork from the CC library would past correctly to the artboard.

Kind regards,

Jordan

Please fix this Adobe - it worked so well before. Now placed CC library items forget the layers and are all grouped together.

Any solution yet? This renders Library Assets almost useless.

I encountered this problem as well - I don't want the elements to become grouped and placement is also more cumbersome since you first have to place and then move since you have no idea where the artwork will end up with this new way of placing. I don't get why Adobe would take such an obvious step back.

Same issue here, without the function of remember layers the most library elements become useless for us.
Especially because we and our customers need the layers for the proofing process within our production lines, as we created specific layers within the PDF files. This force us to manually c&p library elements. What a step backwards. By the way, god help you if you have linked some elements from the library with actual documents, and you need the function create acrobat layers from Illustrator layers, this leads the function ad absurdum.

I have this issue and noticed several others that may be tied to the loaded cursor (place gun) implemented in 22.0.1.

Here's the link to what I posted yesterday.

https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/32410021-place-options-in-cc-libraries

It seems everything comes in as a group now. If I wanted my objects to be grouped, I would have grouped them in the library item.

I feel the loaded cursor can be cumbersome. I don't disagree with having the option, but I want an option. It was far quicker just to place a copy and move it to where I want instead of clicking, clicking again, etc.

Additionally, replacing linked graphics doesn't seem to work as well. I've tried all of the linking options and none behave the way 2017 and before did. If I linked an object before and replaced it with another cc library item, it would fit the width/height proportionally and adjust the bounding box. It no longer does this.

Another issue: Relinking a linked library item places at full size instead of the scaled container it was already within the document. I now have to relink, resize, align when before I just had to relink. this basically makes the relink form cc libraries option useless.

I forgot to mention a new little quirk in placing a cc library copy also groups all items in the artwork. This is not what I want most of the time. I liked how it worked before...if the artwork was grouped/not grouped in the library item, it would be grouped/not grouped when placed.

I'm having an issue with Illustrator 2018 (22.0.1) in regards to place a copy of a CC Library item in a document. This release has ruined my workflow!

I use the Paste Remembers Layers option in the Layers panel options a lot. In all other Illustrator CC releases, If Paste Remembers Layers was checked on, the pasted CC Library item would adhere to the Paste Remembers Layers option. Furthermore, while it's nice sometimes to have a loaded cursor of multiple library items, it can be cumbersome more often than not.

I don't know if these are bugs or intentional changes, but the Paste Remembers Layers issue has to be fixed. A lot of my library items were set up to paste to specific layers.

I'd like to see Place Options like you see in Illustrator/InDesign when you go to File > Place and can click on "Show Import Options." If that's not achievable, maybe these two could be checkboxes in the Preferences Menu.

I'm having the same issue with the 2018 update, as listed in this forum post. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2408129 It would really help my company to see this resolved in the next patch update.
