accept both full stop and comma as decimal separator
Illustrator is very picky when it comes to entering decimal fractions in input fields. E.g. when using Dutch as keyboard language, the . is not allowed, and ignored, so we have to use the comma, which does not reside on the num keypad.
Please make Ai accepting both the . and the ' as a decimal separator.13 votes -
New Artboard Decimal Rounding
Illustrator 2015.3.1
Created a new document, set artboard to 3.375 x 2.125 with .125 inch bleed. Dialog box rounds to 2 decimal places as usual, but I expect that it honors the 3 decimal input. Save document as PDF, place into InDesign using Bleed box, am surprised to discover that document places at dimensions of 3.63 x 2.38.
Further testing shows that if I enter the proper dimensions with the artboard tool after creating the document, then it honors the 3 decimal places. So it is only the new document dialog that is actually rounding the dimensions.

IUStringUnitsToAIReal doesn't recognize comma as decimal separator
std::string input_ = "1,5"; // From Adobe header: The string to convert, which uses the localized international utilities (IU) decimal separator.
AIReal n;
sAIUser->IUStringUnitsToAIReal(ai::UnicodeString(input_), &n);This function interprets the text "1,5" as "15" even when the locale is set to a country where the system uses a comma decimal separator. Related functions IUStringToAIReal recognizes the comma, though.

Shifting decimal
Not sure really where this lies. And it doesn't seem to have any other affect that I am aware of, but this just started with the latest upgrade - 24.3.
I typically select an outlined piece of text and copy it then create a new document that is a couple of inched bigger and paste it in. I do this when I am creating production files for large-format kiss cut vinyl production.
What I have been doing is selecting the text then referring to the dimensions when I create the new file for output. However, today I noticed that when…

Dataset names with decimal values are truncated during Batch Export
When exporting multiple Data Sets via Actions (PDF/EPS/SVG/JPG/PNG format), if the Data Set name contains a decimal value (for example: “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG”), the exported file name does not retain the full value.
Instead, the file name is truncated and exported as “Cumin Seeds 1.pdf” rather than “Cumin Seeds 1.6 KG.pdf”.It appears that Illustrator interprets the period (.) in the dataset name as part of a file extension separator, which results in the decimal value being removed during export.
This creates workflow issues, especially in packaging and SKU-based production environments where decimal weights such as 1.6 KG, 2.5…

Decimal point massive problems (AI CC 2017.1.0 macOS 10.12.6)
I’ve documented the issue here:
this problem has been discussed ad nauseam on the forum, but it still persists: AI 2017.1.0 on macOS 10.12.6 still has massive problems with handling of the decimal comma vs. point. On my system (macOS 10.12.6), all dialog boxes within Illustrator display numbers with decimal commas, but any operation (such as moving an item with cursor keys or using the cursor Up or Down keys within text boxes) makes the values multiply by 100 and then "explode".
When I start a new document, the Width textbox of the page says "210,00 mm". If I click…

Decimal points added to values - Precision issues
I am operating on Windows 10 and just updated to Ilustrator 24.3.
I am having all kinds of massive issues with precision when working in files created between Illustrator 24.1 and the most recent update at 24.3. When I create text and set the point size, I'll come back later to find that it is "48.002 pts" and that the horizontal scale is at "99.9987%" and it is no longer aligned at x: 1 in., y: 1 in., but has moved to "x: 1.005 in" and "y: .9998 in." This happens will all kinds of objects, not just text. The…

Decimal delimiter gets ignored in values
When i want to choose the thickness for a line for example 0.25 mm / 0,25 mm AI automatically turns it into 25 mm.
In Denmark we use " , " and in USA they use " . " for decimals. I'm pretty sure.
I have Windows 10 whit english UI but danish system settings and Danish keyboard. And all my Adobe products in English or US. I'm not sure.1 vote -
Dimensions of newly created objects have numerous decimal places and don’t get adjusted afterwards
After leaving the computer on for a week with software running in the background, when trying to draw a new rectangle, the dimensions will show numerous decimal places. Moreover, when attempting to adjust the dimensions afterward, the values will jump erratically.
The background backup process of the software occupies main operational resources, resulting in lag.

Properties Panel and Transform Panel measurements should be exactly the same not rounded in the Properties Panel
Properties Panel and Transform Panel measurements should be exactly the same not rounded in the Properties Panel.
Properties Panel rounds measurements to .000 decimal places but the transform panel allows .0000 four decimal places. This is inconsistent and is confusing to my team trying to double check our files for accuracy.

SVG Exporter with decimal to 1 rounds lower percentage opacities to 0
macOS Catalina 10.15.7, Adobe Illustrator 26.5
In the latest versions of Adobe Illustrator, the SVG exporter when the decimals parameter is 1 low percentage opacities are rounded to 0 in the CSS styles of the SVG file. This problem did not exist in older versions of Adobe Illustrator (2017, 2018)
In a new Adobe Illustrator file make some paths or shapes, set fill color and set opacity to 10%.

SVG export for screens distorted
Vectors getting quite distorted creating SVGs of logos even with 5 decimal places and no minify. I've had to copy and paste into Sketch then export SVGs from there, not ideal at all.

Export As SVG - incorrect size
I compared the results of the "Save As SVG" and "Export As SVG" commands.
I found that the "Export" option often produces incorrect sizes, especially with patterns containing a lot of fine details.The decimal point settings are the same in both cases.

Column graph rounding issue
When using %00 template in graph design decimal figures are not rounded up/down correctly. Eg. Figure 4.9 should display as 5 but actually displays as 4

SVGs exported with 0 decimals have incorrect viewBox dimensions
When exporting the attached artwork as an SVG, the viewBox dimensions differ depending on whether or not the decimal precision is greater than 0:
Precision 0: <svg viewBox="0 0 76 23">
Precision 1: <svg viewBox="0 0 760 230">The contents of the artboard retain their original size; it's only the SVG's viewport that appears to be affected.

Export As SVG with 0 decimals fails in handling closed bezier curves
When using “Export for Screens…” or “Export As…” for exporting an SVG and setting the number of decimals to 0, the exporter succeeds in encoding primitives like rects, ellipses, circles and polygons, using only integers for their coordinates – but when your artwork contains any closed bezier curves (e.g. drawn with the pen tool or derived from a font) the resulting path elements will look something like <path d="M0,0Z"/> or <path d="M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0Z"/>
What’s surprising about the bug is that the export of non-closed bezier curves works just fine.
Steps to reproduce:

- Draw a…4 votes -
AI2025 v29.7.1 bug: SVG 1.1 is not accurately rendering
AI2025 v29.7.1 bug: SVG 1.1 is not accurately rendering vector files. Even upping the decimal places, it's downsampling vectors and oversimplifying more detailed curves. Reverting to SVG 1.0 works fine. Please fix this!

Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB
Illustrator 23.1.1
Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works.
Decrease font shortcut DOES still work. Super annoying.
EDIT: I just realised if you press the decimal point on the number pad it works. The wrong "." seems to have been assigned the shortcut.

Zooming
When in the preset zoom menu, some of the options have commas where they should have decimals. When I click on the 66,67% zoom option it actually zooms in 6667% when it should zoom in 66.67%. Also, in the title of the document, it shows the zoom percentage with a comma instead of a decimal point.
