  1. Align not working when ALL items in a group are selected

    Since updating to CC 2018, Align to Selection and Align to Artboard are not working when ALL items in a group are selected.

    Align appears to work if ALL BUT ONE item in the group are selected... but if the final item is selected, it stops working... nothing happens.

    This is not ideal as it means you then have to align the remaining item with the rest of the group manually... with transform or by eye.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side and behavior is similar to Illustrator CC 2017 version. If you think behavior is changed in Illustrator CC 2018 kindly share a small video of Illustrator CC 2017 behavior and Illustrator CC 2018 behavior at sharewithai@adobe.com so I can further investigate it.

    Please do mention the link of this thread so we can identify you

  2. Properties doesn’t show alignment options for live shapes

    In the new Properties panel if you select a custom shape you get the alignment options, including the option to switch between "Align on artboard" and "Align on selection".
    If you select an live shape e.g. a circle, you don’t get these options in the Properties panel and you also have no option in the Align panel window to select if you want to align on artboard or selection.

    The Properties panel should have the possibility to align all elements, shapes and so on.
    Also as a backup you should include the possibility to align on artboard and align on…

  3. The object doesn’t get aligned properly

    The aligning is not working at all, the first version of the Adobe Illustrator update highlighted the artboard in use in a bold black line, please bring that back and fix the aligning.

    MacOS 13.3.1 Ventura, Illustrator 2025

  4. Align to Artboard when starting up

    When you first start Illustrator up in the newest version 25.4.1 the Align to Artboard mode will switch to Align to Selection if multiple objects are selected. If you select Align to Selection and then Align to Artboard the issue will not happen and only happens when the program is first launched. Once you have gone to selection and then back to artboard the issue will not happen again.
