  1. artboards 1600% - 1700% zoom display error

    Dear Adobe, this an annoying feature or bug, which is always pursue me.

    When I select an artboard with double click, which contains an icon (64x64px), always give me a visual error.

    First time automatic switch to 1700% zoom, and mess up the pixels, looks like slips over the grid, arround 0.5 px.

    If I click on it one more, or zoom in and out, the pixels are jump to the right place.

    This is all time made me crazy because all of my icon need to be pixelperfect, always when I try to rename an icon, go to this…

  8. Grosses lenteurs après la mise à jour Creative Cloud

    Bonjour,

    Depuis trois jours j'ai de grandes lenteurs d'affichage et d'exécution.

    Par exemple lorsque je veux rendre un objet invisible dans ma palette de calques, il ne le fait que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    Idem pour les déplacement d'objets, je ne vois la position finale que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    La mise à jour des images entre Illustrator et Indesign ne se fait pas non plus.
    Je dois réinsérer l'image sur Indesign afin de voir la mise à jour de l''image.

    J'ignore si c'est un problème de mise à jour Creative Cloud ou bien…

  9. Opening second file will NOT display it, but show first opened document!

    Wow... while having opened one file, Illustrator 25.0.1 does not refresh the screen while opening a second document. Great Adobe!

    Navigator switches the content, but the screen activates the second tab and shows the first file. clever...

    Going to be fixed in early 2031?

    Illustrator v 25.0 desktop on PC won't let me create new files from scratch or with preset details. It's forcing me to download templates to work from.

  18. spostare un qualsiasi oggetto

    Ho appena aggiornato la versione ad Illustrator 25.0, ho aperto un file pdf e risalvato in formato illustrator, peccato che quando voglio spostare un blocco di oggetti o anche uno solo mi dice che non posso perché è IMPOSSIBILE la modifica potrebbe rendere alcuni degli oggetti troppo grandi. Come la risolvo?
