  5. Selecting pen lines (vectors) & anchor points is really hard after updating to newest version of CC 2019.

    I recently updated my OS to Sierra & with that my CC updated to 2019 23.0.2. Ever since, it takes several tries to select a line or an anchor point using the direct select or group select tool & to remove points using the Add/delete anchor tools. The scissors tool also can't seem to find the line to create a point either. It is extremely frustrating & slows down drawing a lot! It seems like the lines/points that we are looking at, are not in the same place code-wise maybe? Something is not lining up. PLEASE fix quickly!

  7. Illustrator cc2019(v23.0) テキストをアウトライン化すると元の位置からズレる

    テキストを効果→パスの変形→変形で回転したものを、アウトライン化すると元の位置からズレます。フォントのサイズが大きいほどズレが大きいようです。
    印刷会社へ入稿する際や、納品する場合も必ずアウトライン化したファイルを作成するので、このズレは致命的です。
    早急に改善していただきたいです。

  9. Unable to select individual anchor point to move

    I was trying to fill a shape with an object but can't select and move individual points to create the custom shape i'm looking to make. It just moves everything even if I have the other layers locked

  11. Cannot change the blending mode when the gradient tool is selected (windows 10, ai 23.0.1)

    Is this a bug or a feature? If this is a feature then it is very uncomfortable.
    In version 22 it was possible to change the blending mode with the gradient tool selected.

  12. Move tool also pans the view

    When ever I move an object the view also moves, it is very disconcerting. Never experienced this before using lower versions.

  13. Transform tool not scaling proportionately.

    Version CC 23
    OSX High Sierra 10.13.6
    When entering values into the transform palette to scale a group containing objects with a guassian blur or feather effect, the result is not proportional as intended. The group gets squashed a bit. When the objects with the effects are removed the group will scale proportionately.

  15. No Rectangle Shape in toolbar

    hi there, today the CC installed advised me to install a new version of Illustrator. Install went smoothly, but I noticed when I opened Illustrator that the shape tool that lets me draw a rectangle is missing. The rectangle with radial corners is there; so I can make one and set the corner rounding to 0; but it isn't as fast and convenient as just drawing a rectangle with sharp corners directly. Is this a new feature? Or is this a bug? (I'm hoping it is a bug)

    thanks!

  16. Stroke not updated when using arrow keys

    An object's stroke is not updated when using the arrow keys to increase or decrease stroke size. Then selecting another object without pressing enter or removing focus from the input box applies the stroke to the new selection.

    Steps:
    1. Create 2 shapes
    2. Select first shape
    3. Adjust stroke with arrow keys in the properties panel - shape on artboard doesn't update
    4. Select second shape - stroke that was supposed to be applied to first shape is applied to second shape

  17. Small enhancement for the new Global Edit Tool

    Hi there!

    I’m playing with this new feature on Illustrator 23, “Global Edit” and I find it absolutely fantastic.

    But, there is a small drawback when you are editing an object: once your are in “Global Edit Mode”, when you change to White Arrow (Direct Selection Tool) to modify some individual component of your original object, lot of times you need to firstly UNSELECT ALL just to be able to select some individual point/s to edit (in order to see that edition being cloned along all similar objects interactively).

    And here comes the problem: once you unselect all with the…

  20. Pattern brush

    Pattern Brush start and end components should not appear when used on closed paths as in Illustrator CS6.

    if you make a pattern brush with a red dot at the end, you can use it to find open paths in CS6 but not in CC2018. necessary for working with plotter/cutters.
