  3. Can't preview new graphic assets in Libraries within Illustrator

    When I add a new graphic asset to an existing Library, I cannot get a preview of it until I restart the program. Instead, I get the animated square indicating that the preview is being generated, but it never refreshes. I often have multiple CC programs open, and the graphic is always immediately reviewable in Photoshop and InDesign, so this is limited to Illustrator in my experience.

  4. CC Libraries panel doesn't respond when clicked

    My CC Libraries opens, shows me everything but when I click on let's say a color to swap it does nothing. None of the libraries work. It's like the I'm clicking in a ghost swatch or something. I even reinstalled illustrator to see if it would help. Nothing. Bug or fixable?

  8. initializing Creative Cloud Libraries

    Something went wrong. Libraries frequently states "Something went wrong initializing Creative Cloud Libraries".

    I have to frequently restart creative cloud (CRTL+ALT+R).

    I will be working on a PDF(with cloud working), save exit PDF, open PDF only to find i cannot access my cloud files. Super annoying!

  10. Adobe Stock library window is crashing when trying to group elements together

    Adobe Stock library window is crashing when trying to group elements together. I have experienced this on many occasions and on different computers and was hoping this would be solved in the latest release.

  11. CC library window blanks out after trying to edit files.

    Adobe Illustrator CC 23.0.2, WIndows 10 Enterprise version 17032.

    Tried right clicking onto a file in a CC library file to 'edit', CC library window closes immediately. Tried to open again from the Windows tab, CC library window is void of any files and folders. It appears blank.
    This only happens if I tried to 'edit'. If I place any files directly from CC library it's fine.

    I have CC version 2019

  13. Cannot scale item directly after placing...

    When I place either a file or library item by dragging onto the artboard, I cannot scale that item (via double-click on scale tool). It does not apply the transformation. I have to repeat the transformation in order to get it to apply. This does not happen however if I place an item through the file menu. See attached video.

  15. Libraries drop down doesn't allow me to select other libraries

    I can't click on other libraries from the one that's already showing. I click the drop down menu and I try to click another library, but nothing happens and I stay on the already selected library.

  16. After lanching ilustrator the start menu is blank without the crative cload appearing

    This happens in all Adobe CC apps, the basic startup menu is blank.this is in the newest version of Adobe CC. When selecting file - new an error message reading "%CCXFNFTDIOLOG_NAME" pops up where the different layouts would be. I have tried to uninstall and install Creative Cloud and the Adobe Apps twice to fix the errors. Both times this has not fixed the issues. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Running:
    - Illustrator CC 2018 Ver. 22.1 (64-bit) (Latest)
    - Windows 10 Ver. 1803 (Latest)
    - Creative Cloud Ver. 4.6.0.384 (Latest)
    I saw someone mention graphics driver on a similar issue, GeForce Experience thinks I am on the latest driver.

  18. Windows 10: Libraries panel - item naming bug

    On Windows, Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow allows you to navigate text by jumping between words. If you use Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right Arrow, it will also select as you jump between words.

    The bug: In Illustrator, when typing a name for an item in the Libraries panel, if you try to use either of these shortcuts, it will also move the selected graphic on the artboard.

    Solution: stop sending any keyboard input to the main Illustrator window when typing a name in the Libraries panel.

    Request to Contact Support  ·  Ashutosh Chaturvedi responded

    Sorry we could not understand the issue. We do not support shifting between words using shortcuts but it should not be placing art on your file if you are in rename mode on the library panel
    Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

  19. Editing size of library element is broken: modifying canevas size in CC library object changes the object's scale in existing documents

    To replicate this, create a square with a fill and no stroke in a new document. Drag the square into the library panel to create a library element. Drag an instance of the library element you just created back into the document. You will have two identical squares, one which is just a plain square, the other which is a library element.

    Edit the library element and make it a different height. Save the changes and go back to the document. The library element is now not the same width as the original square, although you didn't edit that. If…

  20. text libraries

    Hi, I am having trouble adding text to CC Libraries. It seems like you have to have Point Type instead of Area Type in order to add it correctly. It would be useful to be able to add both types of type.
