  2. Problem with Large Illustrator files when copying files to a new document

    Hi,
    We work with physically large files like 200+ inches wide for vehicle wraps, full wall wraps etc. When I break them down with a mask to the size out printer uses. For taking a graphic from 200" file making the mask at 26" and wanting to place it in a new 52" document so I can blow it up to 200% of it's original size. I get the following message and then it changes the size from 26" to 25.1006" which isn't the size I originally started with then I get a message "Artwork exceeds the canvas bounds and…

  3. Opening a v.24 file with v.25.2 illustrator doesn't work properly.

    I have to go ''file'' then ''open'' and after a long period of time (way longer than usual) it opens the files. If I click directly on file icon: it says corrupted file.

  4. Unités de mesure

    Bonjour,

    Il y'a un bug dans les unités de mesure.
    Lorsque nous créons un espace de travail de 1000 x 1000 mm celui-ci une fois exporté en Pdf fait 100 x 100 mm. Les unités par défauts sont indiquées en cm plutôt que mm et la conversion n'est as bonne.

    Merci par avance

  5. Erratic Behaviour When Selecting Large Amounts of Outlined Text

    When I select large amounts of outlined copy - 200+ words - all of a sudden my screen display is very erratic (see attached images - these are all shot from the same file it flickers like that until I deselect the copy).

    This has not happened in the past (this is something I have been doing on a regular basis for almost eight years now).

    The text is all outlined. The document size is 38x58 inches. It happens with or without layers (the document has 3 layers and the art is on the bottom layer).

    It does not happen…

  8. Saved selections change names when copy-pasting into a new document

    On Windows 10, using Illustrator 24.0.2.

    When I create saved selections in one document, select all, and copy into a new document, I expect the same saved selections to be in the new document.

    Instead, the saved selection names get mixed up randomly. So saved selection "Back" now might actually select what I had named "Pocket", etc.

    (There is a perhaps related "bug" that when I duplicate an object that was in a saved selection, the new object is also in that saved selection, which is not what I want. But I haven't been able to find enough documentation to…

  9. artboards 1600% - 1700% zoom display error

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

    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…

  14. 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…
