    Please contact plugin developer and get a plugin compatible with the CC 2018. You also have a choice to install previous release of Illustrator to ensure uninterrupted work till you procure CM plugin that is compatible with latest release.

  2. Progress in window or panel

    I almost never use the Application Bar (Mac).

    Maybe put a progress bar for saving files in a regular window or panel?

  4. CAN YOU PLEASE REVERT TO LEGACY SCALING OPTIONS!!! PLEASE

    Illustrator 23.0.1 - Scale tool doesn't work the same as it's been for years!! Ugh!

    Please revert to the legacy behavior of scaling shapes, images and text proportionately by using the scale tool + holding shift key and drag to enlarge or reduce size of shape proportionately. This way has been burned in my brain for many, many, many years. My fingers move faster than I can think, and now my logos turn out wonky unless I scale it the long way, by opening up the scale tool and typing in percentages!! No thanks.

  5. pathfinder panel missing

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue that I haven't been able to find an answer for after spending some time researching it.
    I just downloaded Illustrator CC and I went into windows to turn on the pathfinder panel. It was an available option so I was able to turn it on, but no panel is displayed as per usual. Any idea how to fix this? I tried resetting my workspace preferences and restarting the program to no avail

    Got email from the user saying it was hidden in the bottom. Declining the issue.

    Thanks

  6. Make the share button bigger

    I think the blue share button in the top bar doesn’t attract enough attention. A solution could be to enlarge the size of the button. (See mockup). Also, consider a brighter color or blinking!

    Nah. It’s big and blue enough.

    Also, you can even make it less blue, if you go to Preferences > User Interface and toggle Share Button option from Blue to Match Brightness.

    The same option in Photoshop is named Interface > Neutral Color Mode.

    As for the InDesign — alas, not yet. Vote for making it neutral here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/45860278-make-share-button-neutral

  9. A layer name with Emoji breaks Layers panel

    When an artwork contains a layer whose name has emoji such as 👍, the Layers panel gets broken. Interfaces (Eye or Lock icons, thumbnail or name) of several layers or groups will disappear and lost controlled. Fortunately, I knew which layer name has emoji so that it has been recovered by deleting the emoji.

  10. Please Make Adobe App shortcuts compatible with Security/Adware/Antivirus software

    I suddenly was seeing the "Space Bar Won't enable Hand Tool" problem that's been a plague for years. A few weeks ago, I installed AdGuard for Safari and Mac. I've been happy with it's ad blocking - but this was the culprit for the problem of the Space Bar not invoking the Hand Too, AND for Command+Space not invoking zoom. I've turned off the helpful ad blocker, and I can use my Adobe Apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign were all affected).
    After all these years, PLEASE fix these apps so that our computers can remain usable and safe while still having…

  12. Cannot make invisible/visible layers

    Cannot manage my layers. The "eye" of the layers look like not working.
    Like you can see in my capture, the layers are not visible mode but still visible.

    Restarting computer is a waste of time, didnt work.
    I need this function to work obviusly. So fix them because I must spend my time looking for another version ( and I paid for the 2020 )

  13. Spanish mistraslation

    When you choose Object > Path > Simplify and go to advanced options, the line: "Show original path" is mistranslated to: "Mostrar ruta original". It should be: "Motrar trazado original".

    "Path" could mean ruta or trazado, in this case means trazado.

  15. Radiobox on the Symbol options behaves inverse to the expected using the keyboard arrow keys

    See the attached image, notice that Symbol Type is set to Dynamic Symbol. If you wanted to change it to Static Symbol using the keyboard, you'd expect to press down on the arrow keys, correct?

    That does not work, instead you need to press UP on the keyboard arrow keys, which is the exact opposite of what you'd expect.

  16. Place returns to the wrong folder

    In previous versions of Illustrator, the place command would return to the folder containing the last placed file (say the Worker folder). For example, If I place an object and then save to a different folder (say the Finals folder), the next time I go to place, it takes me to the Finals folder rather than the Worker folder. Not sure when this broke/was changed, but would appreciate getting this function back.

  18. My mobile creations do not show up in illustrator

    When I open Adobe Illustrator (2017.1.0 Release / 21.1.0), I do not get the Mobile Creations option any longer.

    I am running Mac OS Sierra (10.12.6) on a 2014 MacBook Pro.

    This issue has been occurring for about the last six months or so.

    I can send a mobile creation from my iPad to Illustrator.

  19. Losing Days on the Free Trial

    I was opening Adobe Illustrator on a free trial. When I opened it, I lost a day of my free trial! I feel as I was cheated of an extra day to use Illustrator. I think to improve free trials, that you shouldn't lose any days when you do not use the program. I expected 7 days of my free trial but in the end only got to use 2 days! That is completely absurd! Even when I tried the free trial for Photoshop the same happened.

    This is unfortunate because I know that Illustrator is one of those top…
