Align with preview bounds doesn't work with transform effect copies
I created a gear by creating a circle, then a box for one of the pieces. I created a point in the middle of the circle and grouped the box with that point. Then I used the transform effect on that group to create a circular array. Then I grouped that and added a pathfinder-Add effect to make it one piece, but still keep it nice and editable. Then I punched a hole in the middle by adding another circle, grouping it to that, and adding an effect, pathfinder-Subtract.
I then added two lines of text as one object. Those,…3 votes -
ドロップシャドウを適用したオブジェクトをグレースケールに変換するとシャドウ部分がマスクされてしまう
macOS10.15.6 Illustrator ver.25.2.3
再現手順：
１．長方形を作成し塗りを設定し、「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」を適用する。
２．１のオブジェクトを選択した状態で「編集→カラーの編集→グレースケールに変換」を適用する。
３．オブジェクトの下に適用されているドロップシャドウ部分がオリジナルの長方形をドロップシャドウパネルの「X軸オフセット・Y軸オフセット」分移動した状態の図形にてマスクされる。
４．「分割・拡張」を適用してアピアランスを分割するとマスクされた状態でビットマップに落とされる。期待する結果：
シャドウをクリッピングせずにカラーの変更のみ行う。実際の結果：
シャドウがクリッピングされてしまう。以前に報告されていた投稿がありましたが、一部に挙動の誤認があるため、新たにバグ登録を行いました。

Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance
When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.
The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time…

Opacity Doesn't Live Update when using Properties Panel + Keyboard
AI Version: 25.2
OS: MacOS 11.2.1
Using CPU & GPU PreviewProblem:
- With an object selected, open the Properties Panel.
- Click in the Opacity field and use the keyboard to increment the opacity up or down.
- Note that the object's opacity doesn't change unless the change is accepted either by pressing the Return key, or clicking into the artwork.
Expected Behaviour:
- As the opacity is adjusted using the keyboard, the artwork should demonstrate the changed opacity.
Notes:
- If you use the Transparency Panel, and adjust the Opacity there, the keyboard commands are recognized as usual.3 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·

3D Revolve Clipping
3D Revolve is clipping the front faces. I can get the faces to appear when the object is in a different rotation, when it object is parallel with the view. I've tried this with both a normal path and a compound path.
I think the plane the 3D object is being rendered to is too far forward.

Excluding fill and stroke settings when applying a graphic style
Intention: I want to have a graphic style for applying shadows (using the material UI shadow requirements)
Because it does not seem to be possible to just copy and paste and existing effect of an element (like a drop shadow on a square element) I am using a workaround.
I created a graphic style with my desired shadow. I noticed that when applying the graphic style to element, it overwrites its color and stroke values.
I thought the setting "override character color" would prevent that from happening, but it doesn't. Every time I'm applying a graphic style it replaces the…

Twist effect does not act on a group as a whole

Appearance panel - Stroke on rectangle shape
I have a rectangle shape in my appearance panel. When I try to add a stroke to it, I get a row saying "outline stroke" (underdotted as if it should be able to change) and popup tips saying "click to edit effect". But nothing happens when trying to click to open stroke settings. So I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request or simply me doing it wrong. Anyway, it seams to be meant to work, if not it would be great if you could add things like strokes to these shape rectangles/circles.

Drop shadows unnecessarily re-render when placing new images, slowing workflow
As of 5/22/18 using Illustrator 22.1, all existing drop shadow effects within document re-render each time a new image is placed. Rendering can take up to 30 seconds to process (a Progress dialogue box appears), which slows down workflow considerably.
This is never an issue with InDesign or Photoshop, so I'd love to see this fixed in Illustrator. Thanks!

Setting Opacity twice wrongly affects the CMYK values on effects underneath
(2019 Mac Pro - Sequoia 15.6.1 - Illustrator 29.8.2)
Draw a box, fill it with 25% black, apply an effect such as Blur through the Appearance Panel.
On a new layer, draw another box which intersects the previous box. Make this new box 50% Magenta. Set it to Darken.
Select the newly created layer and change the blending mode on the entire layer. Set it to Darken as well.
View Separations Preview. Black only. You will notice that the MAGENTA box has intensified the BLACK plate in the areas where it intersects.
This happens when choosing any CMYK color, not…

3D objects don’t update
When you click an extruded object, that you have deselected and want to edit again, the change you do, doesn't seem to update. If I use a slider, it remembers the setting, but the viewport doesn't update for example the extrude depth. I regards all settings though.

I can't Knockout in a clip mask
After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.
[p1] Establish a clipping mask group, check Knockout;
[p2] Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have the knockout effect.
[p3] But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.
[p4] But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal.
This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same…

Incorrect Blend Mode Appearance When Opening Illustrator 2024 File in Illustrator 2025
I’ve encountered a potential bug in Illustrator. When I open a file created in Illustrator 2024 (version 28.7.4) in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.2.1), the appearance applied to the text does not display correctly.
For example, in the attached file, the text at the bottom changes to a completely different design when opened in Illustrator 2025, which is causing a significant problem.
