1. Buggy strokes, unwanted anti-aliasing and wrong sizes on export.

   I have just completed a project where 1800 tool icons had to be redesigned for a CAD program. Exporting my icons to single and @2x PNGs butchers my icons.

   • If strokes are set to outside, export to PNG invariably produces unwanted anti-aliasing on vertically or horizontally stacked pixels. (see image 1.png). I have a hunch this only occurs with documents that have over 100 artboards. It cannot be easily reproduced with a document containing only a single artboard. (if someone from tech support wants the document, let me know. I cannot share it publicly.)

   • When the arrow up cursor is used with a modifier key (cmd) in a number field of the transform palette, it should never increase both values if they are not locked to each other. This used to work but has been broken for at least two years now. (See ArrowUp.gif)

   • Artboards move around. I am not sure this is not me. However when I export my icons, I often have artboards on top of other artboards or some artboards have even moved hundreds of pixels away. This may be due to the way that artboards are selected though. Using shift to select several artboards does not quite work like selecting objects. There is always one artboard selected and every time the user wants to select multiple artboards via the marquee selection, one artboard somewhere in the drawing is already selected and must first be deselected by clicking into empty space. This feels non-standard.

   Thank you.

2. Broken CSS Style Elements in SVG Save and Export

   I have been exploring why our company users are seeing full black artboards or random black fill objects in SVG files produced in the Save As\SVG process, as well as exporting SVG using API developer tools. I know there have already been issues with non-alpha-numeric characters (what I will call “irregular characters”), but the issue we are seeing relates to periods (.) specifically.

   When files are saved/exported using Style Elements to drive the CSS, if those style names contain a period, ie: "BLACK STROKE .25pt", the Save As SVG export process allows the CSS class label to contain a period. Since each new style is identified in the code by a period, this essentially produces two class elements within one label position.

   This can be reproduced by creating an objects using a Graphic Style they have labeled with a period in the name. Then export that files using "Style elements" in the CSS options under "More options". As it seems the default is to use Style elements, this shouldn't be difficult. Here is my example, one in Illustrator 28.1 and one in 28.7:

   Sample from Illustrator 28.1 (legacy SVG export):

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.1.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
   <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
   viewBox="0 0 612 792" style="enable-background:new 0 0 612 792;" xml:space="preserve">
   <style type="text/css">
   .BLACKx0020STROKEx0020x002E25pt{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.25;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
   </style>
   <polygon class="BLACK_x0020_STROKE_x0020__x002E_25pt" points="348.42,239.57 316.16,222.54 283.85,239.46 290.08,203.52
   264.01,178.01 300.11,172.83 316.31,140.16 332.39,172.89 368.48,178.2 342.31,203.61 "/>

   </svg>

   Sample from Illustrator 28.7

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 612 792">
   <defs>
   <style>
   .BLACKSTROKE.25pt {
   fill: none;
   stroke: #231f20;
   stroke-miterlimit: 10;
   stroke-width: .25px;
   }
   </style>
   </defs>
   <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.7.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 1.2.0 Build 136) -->
   <g>
   <g id="Layer_1">
   <polygon class="BLACK_STROKE_.25pt" points="348.42 239.57 316.16 222.54 283.85 239.46 290.08 203.52 264.01 178.01 300.11 172.83 316.31 140.16 332.39 172.89 368.48 178.2 342.31 203.61 348.42 239.57"/>
   </g>
   </g>

   </svg>

   In Illustrator 28.1 the SVG save as/export replaces the period in “.25” with “x002E” but in the 28.7 version the period isn’t replaced, the same as with most other irregular characters. The problem is that despite the CSS and the polygon class looking identical, they are not. The polygon is looking for a style with the class label "BLACKSTROKE.25", but as a period (.) identifies a new style label in the CSS, so the CSS list two different styles named "BLACKSTROKE" and "25pt", within one style position.

   This can also be observed by saving the code above as an SVG, view it, then delete the two periods in both instances of “.25pt” and view it again.

   I have been exploring why our company users are seeing full black artboards or random black fill objects in SVG files produced in the Save As\SVG process, as well as exporting SVG using API developer tools. I know there have already been issues with non-alpha-numeric characters (what I will call “irregular characters”), but the issue we are seeing relates to periods (.) specifically.

3. Error message when exporting PNG, [!now]

   OS: macOS Big Sur version 11.2.3 (20D91)
   Illustrator version 25.2.1

   When using "export as" from the file menu, after making all selections and confirming, I get the error message "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [!now]"
   I have to click OK to get rid of this message, however the image appears to export normally (PNG)

4. Rotation resets to 0

   If you rotate groups the properties panel always resets the rotation value back to 0 meaning I have to remember the value I used if I want to put it back or if I want other shapes to match the rotation at a later time.

5. Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Etc. renders incorrectly on large polygons angled lines only

   When I make a drop shadow, outer glow etc. there are places on the shadow that end abruptly in intervals. I make a triangle or any polygon (even a rectangle that is rotated). Go to Effect > Illustrator Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow. Multiply: 75%:0":0":0.5". Color Black. I've tried other colors and other settings for Blur and Mode. This does the exact same thing using Outer Glow. I have a 66" x 36" artboard on the examples below.

6. SVG Save As 'SVG Code...' not same as marked up saved SVG. This now matches Export As SVG

   The content saved when you Save As... SVG is different in 28.5 to 28.3. When you click SVG Code... the text file preview matches that of the old version. Example file header:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.5.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 9.03 Build 54727) -->
   <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
   viewBox="0 0 2255 692" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2255 692;" xml:space="preserve">
   <style type="text/css">
   .st0{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
   .st1{fill:#FFFFFF;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
   </style>

   When you actually save this with OK it changes to :

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 2255 692">
   <defs>
   <style>
   .cls-1 {
   fill: #fff;
   }

     .cls-1, .cls-2 {
       stroke: #000;
       stroke-miterlimit: 10;
     }
   
     .cls-2 {
       fill: none;
     }
   </style>
   

   This is the same format you get on File Export, Export As SVG.

   I now have to copy and paste the SVG code from the preview when clicking 'SVG Codes...' instead of being able to save as SVG.

   I need the format using the style tags in SVG and the stX CSS for my use case.

   Clearly there is an issue when the save preview and the actual save result in a different structure.

   The content saved when you Save As... SVG is different in 28.5 to 28.3. When you click SVG Code... the text file preview matches that of the old version. Example file header:

   <style type="text/css">
   .st0{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
   .st1{fill:#FFFFFF;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
   </style>

   This change is intentional. The team aims to improve the way SVG is generated (speed, size, redundancy, etc.) and merge current both code branches into one.

   Since some workflows heavily rely on the way the code structure is organized, the team tries to gather feedback on it.

   Please describe what engine changes affect you and why.

7. Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled

   While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.

   Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

   Anyone else has the same issue?

8. Use of Asset Export panel modifies existing SVG when closing without saving changes

   When using the Asset Export panel in Illustrator, if an SVG is exported with the same name as the currently open file, when that file is closed without saving changes, the existing file is modified.

   Specifically, a <metadata> element is added to the SVG, which results in unexpected behaviour when trying to use the SVG in an HTML document for example.

   This is part of my current workflow because Illustrator creates better SVG exports than XD. Therefore I am exporting an SVG from XD, then opening it in, and re-exporting it from, Illustrator. Every time I repeat that process, I encounter this bug - normally when closing Illustrator at the end of the task.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Create a new document (it can be any size). I have created a 50px by 50px Web document.
   2. Add an object to that document. I have added a black square 50px by 50px with no stroke. [Screenshot 'Step 2']
   3. Drag that object into the Asset Export panel. Leave the name as the default of Asset 1.
   4. Export the asset as an SVG.
   5. Open the exported SVG in a text editor to see it's code. [Screenshot 'Step 5']
   6. Close the document created in step 1.
   7. Open the new 'Asset 1.svg' in Illustrator.
   8. Drag the object (in this case the black square) to the Asset Export panel again. Leave the name as the default of Asset 1.
   9. Export the asset as an SVG. When asked if you want to replace the existing file choose to replace.
   10. Open the exported SVG (from step 9) in a text editor and observe that the code is different to the output from step 5. [Screenshot 'Step 10']
   11. Close the open document in Illustrator. When asked to save changes, choose 'Don't Save'.
   12. Open the exported SVG (from step 9) in a text editor and observe that the <metadata> element has been added, despite choosing to not save changes. [Screenshot 'Step 12']

10. Rotate tool Alt click and Wacom tablet

    Hey :)
    I use illustrator CC 2017.

    I use my Wacom intuos for almost everything since it is easier and I am comfortable to it than using mouse.

    I use Rotate tool to copy objects in circle with a center point.( Select Rotate tool, Hold Alt and click to choose the center of the object) .

    When I use wacom tablet to achieve this, the Center point keeps floating with the mouse pointer. I have to use my mouse to click to set a center point.
    I have used it in multiple computers and with other wacom devices too. I am not sure if its a bug, but it would be really great if you could fix it :)

11. Rotation Handle Tolerance overrides scale and selection functionality while using Wacom.

    Hiya. I have an issue with the Selection tool and the rotation handle functionality overriding both scale and shift+selection of other objects while using a Wacom.

    Essentially, the rotation functionality tolerance seems to be 2-3 times higher than when using a mouse, which means that I have to zoom in far in order to either scale or select a nearby object.

    This behaviour has been in every version of Illustrator since the original Illustrator CC - which behaved flawlessly.

    I've also had it occur on 2 different computers with 2 different Wacom devices (Intuous 5 and Cintiq 13HD) and multiple versions of the Mac operating system (Yosemite through to Sierra).

    You can see a video of the behaviour attached below.

    1. Version of Illustrator: CC2018 (but same occurs in 2017, 2015, 2014)
    2. Steps taken: Using the selection tool I attempt to shift+select a nearby object or scale the selected object.
    3. Expected Result: Shift-selecting the nearby object or scaling the selected object.
    4. Actual Result: The current object goes into rotate mode.

    Thanks!

12. Stroke weight reverts to previous scale when embedding after rotating a graphic.

    AI CC 22.1

    I had an linked .pdf at 10% scale, which I rotated 90 degrees, then scaled up by 1000%, then I embedded the file. The strokes in the artwork reverted back to 10% size. If I repeat the procedure, but do not rotate the file first, then the stoke retains the enlarged size.

    There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

14. Unable to import SVG textPath

    Illustrator is able to export SVGs using the <textPath> element for use in browsers. However, it is unable to import SVGs using the <textPath> element - instead of importing them properly, it puts each glyph in the appropriate position along the path, but it doesn't rotate the glyphs.

    The workaround is to generate SVGs with "expanded" outlines for text, but this leads to much larger SVG files, with a loss of editability.

    I am glad to update that this issue was fixed in 23.0.5 release.

    Thank you for all the feedback.

15. Rotate dialogue box is now painfully inefficient (CC2019)

    Rotate and Scale functions used to work the same, where you could press R+Enter or S+Enter to bring up their respective dialogue boxes, type in a number, and hit Enter. Very fast, very efficient. Now when you call up the Rotate dialogue box, the focus is on this manual angle widget instead of the numeric field. And should you try to use Tab to change the focus to that field you have to hit it 5x.

    This used to be extremely efficient, which was great since it's not uncommon to use this feature hundreds of times in a day. It meant that, regardless of where your cursor was, you could quickly and precisely make these changes - with either a known angle or your closest guess and then close in using arrow keys or Shift+arrow keys.

    Now performing this same common task means I have three far less efficient options:
    1) Always have my Transform palette open and poke a value in there each time (that means having to always click on a specific part of the UI for the second most common transform function).
    2)Double-click the Rotate tool in the toolbar, then double-click the numeric field, then use the keyboard to enter/adjust my values (hunting down two specific things to click on in sequence before I can enter my angle value. Hooray!)
    3)Hit R+Enter (keyboard), then double-click in the numeric field (mouse), then enter/adjust my angle value (keyboard). There's no way that can possibly sound efficient.

    Been using Illustrator for over 20 years. Still love it. Use it almost every day. I'm really hoping this was just an oversight in this latest version. If there is a more efficient way to make these changes in CC2019, I'm all ears. If not, this change stinks.

16. Problem with elements' IDs when export to SVG

    Sometimes when I export an AI file with some elements' names to an SVG file, it renames the IDs like if there are some duplicates.

    Usually I can fix it by renaming the "duplicate" elements with a dummy name and then rename them back, but often it doesn't work and I have to delete the file and work on a new one, copying and pasting only the "safe" elements and redrawing the "duplicate" ones.

    Sometimes it appends a special character on the IDs and when it happen I always have to work on a new file.

    Version: 24.0.2 (64 bit, Windows)

17. SVG export : XML code anomaly

    Hi there,

    (my specs don't matter for this issue)

    I'm using Ai to make .svg files I'll animate live (making it react to midi and sound) using PureData and Processing.
    So I have vectorized a picture of stained glasses and it gives me 3655 different path I have to export twice : once in only one .svg file for all paths [globalsvg] and once in one .svg file per path [pathssvg].

    I'll then use Processing to analyse height, width, viewbox and d-commands in [globalsvg] to finally recreate the entire pattern by placing [pathssvg] on another plan thanks to some code lines. I spare you that part.

    Now my problem :

    I have compared the d-commands of a pathsvg and the ones of its twin from globalsvg and I'm noticing an offset between some Absolute-Coordinates. All the coordinates that bother me are related to the same value : y coordinate of the Transform-translate parameter.

    Besides, you will certainly agree that this transform-translate should not even exist in the first place. Ai just decided to create paths far outside the viewbox to then translate those to their supposed original places. It works for -x axis but not for -y axis and it could really be bothering at some point.

    I think it's an unnecessary waste of characters in the XML source-code.

    My regards to whoever answer my problem. :)

18. 'Export as' SVG No Longer Includes Width/Height on Embedded Images

    When exporting an AI file with an embedded PNG screenshot (added via File > Place) as an SVG, the <image> tag in the exported SVG file is no longer being created with "width" and "height" attributes.

    This creates an error when trying to use the exported SVG in XMLmind (which states that there is no width attribute on the <image> tag), and I imagine in other contexts as well.

    We're on an enterprise cloud subscription of Illustrator, so at any given time we're working with the most up-to-date version. In a similar file I exported to SVG back in January 2021, it worked just fine. If I had to guess, the issue popped up at some point in the past 6 months. I've attached screenshots of the export options I've used for a few years now, as well as a sample of the exported SVG output from back in January 2021 (the top code sample) and just the other day (the bottom code sample).

    Similar to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44963893-svg-code-export-issues, downgrading to version 26.0.3 once again exports these same SVGs with the width/height attributes included in the embedded <image> tags.

20. Export to SVG adding spurious characters to gtags from layer names which start with numbers

    When exporting to svg if the layer name in Illustrator starts with a number when it comes out the other end as a gtag in the svg it is adding spurious characters. For example if a layer name starts with 0Yx it is coming out in the svg as _30Yx This then means that downstream where the application is expecting 0Yx it's not working as _30Yx is there instead. This has only started recently with the new version of Illustrator and the only work round is to close Illustrator 2024 and export using Illustrator 2023
