  1. Undo after unlocking a layer makes the saved file marked as unsaved

    If you open a file and make a change, the file name shows an asterisk in the document’s tab to indicate this. If you then immediately Undo the change, the asterisk disappears — makes sense, the file is back to its original state.

    But this doesn't work if you lock or unlock a layer and then Undo! The asterisk remains in place.

    Thanks to John Goodman for reporting this.

  2. File not located.

    Hello, i was doing work for my school and just as i had finished i saved the 2 pieces of work (2 seperate drawings) and about a couple hours later my free trial expires, so i cant access any of the files or anything.

I buy it for $30 just so i can get the files back and it keeps saying, file not located, or this file does not exist in this places anymore. so basically i lost my work i dont know how to get it back.

  8. Export Selection, Assets Panel not saving as before

    Prior to 25.4.1 I would highlight objects, Export Selection, Assets Tab, select the image, give it a filename, specify the export folder location (same every time), scale the image as 1.2x, put a suffix as @1.2, format = PNG 8 and the Export. Previously in Mac OS 10.15.7 (Catalina) the exported file when selected in Finder would show Dimensions, Resolution, and Color Space in the file details preview. This is no longer the case. Also, when I upload the file to Shopify the image doesn't display properly (should show as a thumbnail but now shows full size on the website.…

  11. AI 26 667 Mac: SVG export with placed images badly broken (Illustrator 26.0 GM Candidate Build 2)

    Test files at https://files.svija.love/ai26-667-svg-export.zip

    Exporting an Illustrator file with placed images results in an SVG with the images at the wrong Z-index, as well as several copies of the same image.

    Steps to reproduce (see test files):

    • open test.ai
    • save as SVG (see parameters capture)
    • open SVG in Safari — red box is behind PNG image when it should be in front
    • open SVG in TextEdit — there are three copies of PNG image when there should be one

  12. 保存時のエラー

    保存をする時、画面が出きっていない状態で次の動作を押すと必ずエラ〜メッセージが出る。例えば別名保存（コマンド+シフト+S）を実行し、まだ画面に保存先などの指名画面が出ていないうちに、デスクトップ（コマンドD）を押すとエラーになる。

    保存形式を選んだ後に保存先のフォルダを選ぼうとするとそのフォルダ名が保存ファイル名に勝手になってしまう。

  13. Imported SVG: y coordinate of coordinate space translation is ignored

    In Illustrator 24.3.2, if I import an SVG file with the instruction
    transform=“translate(x y)”
    the y value reverts to zero when Illustrator displays the artwork.
    This appears to be fixed in version 25.4.1, however I am working with a critical, multi-user workflow, where we are not yet ready to advance to that version...

  14. Close file when saving as a .PDF

    Close file when saving as a .PDF

    This has been a HUGE problem since you guys changed the way Illustrator handles file saves.
    When you Save As... and save as .pdf the .pdf file remains open and editable. Which if you are in a fast paced environment and forget to close that 'New' file, you are editing a PDF and when you close it out and try to reopen you are now faced with a non-editable Illustrator file (especially if you unselect illustrator compatiblity).

    I have lost DAYS of work doing that one simple task, just so I could email…

  17. v25.4 Changed ID format for items with same name when saving SVGs

    Do this on both v25.3.1 with v25.4 (Both Mac, Windows):
    Assuming Identify Objects By Object Name is on.
    1) Create new document
    2) Create two items (e.g. rectangle)
    3) Rename rectangles to same name
    4) Save SVG (not export)

    Expected format from v25.3.1:
    <rect id="rect_1_" ...
    <rect id="rect" ...

    Actual v25.4 output:
    <rect id="rect_00000161598596446820662850000009930553674419257219_" ...
    <rect id="rect"

    We have clients who have CSS selectors that dynamically change the SVG, so now they can't update their designs in our system because it breaks the CSS selectors.

    Afterwards, changing "Identify Objects By" shows that same ID name in the layers panel.

  18. comment empêcher plusieurs personnes d'être sur le même fichier illustrator ?

    Bonjour. Je travaille sous Windows 10 avec Illustrator 2021. Voici mon problème : Comment empêcher plusieurs personnes d'être sur le même fichier Illustrator ?
    Une collègue travaille sur un fichier. Je peux ouvrir ce même fichier, faire une modification, enregistrer. Ma collègue fini ses modifications et enregistre. Ma modification est perdue. Rien ne me signale que quelqu'un travaille déjà sur un fichier!
    Comment faire ? Merci de votre aide

  19. Exporting of Multiple Artboards in PDF gets messed up the order of pages (Artboards)

    Exporting an AI file that has multiple artboards in it to PDF used to show the artboards in order. Now it just messes up my artboard order. The artboard names are 1,2,3,4.. After export the pages come in this order: 1,2,4,3

    My illustrator version: 25.4.1

    Same file works perfectly in the previous version (before I updated)

  20. You removed the ability to paste text into the file name - this saved typing errors for complex names

    Forever we have been able to copy and paste in the name of the file into the file name.

    you removed that - its really bad - now it is another place errors occur.

    why remove something good?
