in Version 24.02 when trying to export a single PDF with all art boards AI will only export single pages, why?
I updated to 24.02 this morning and now I am unable to save PDF files as multi-page documents. No matter what setting I select AI will only export whatever artboard I am currently working on at the time of export. This was not an issue for me yesterday. So frustrated.

Very small AI file but super slow - can't even pan.
I have floor plans that I exported from DWG to 2007 DXF. I then imported to AI to do graphic edits. I'm using AI 2020.
This was done a long time ago and the AI file has always been extremely slow but I've managed to work with it to the point it is now. But I'm getting super sick of how it can barely handle me panning across the artboards and now dashed lines won't show up as dashed lines either. Help!

Set round corner numerically for multiple corners
When multiple Anchor Points are selected, it would be nice to set the rounding numerically, in stead of by dragging the mouse.
But unfortunately double clicking a Corner Widget let us set the value for only the clicked corner, and not for all selected corners.
2 votesThis can be done with the Corners field, located in the middle of Control panel, or in Properties.

Artborads erased and layers grouped when opening a file, Illustrator 2020
Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1), Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
Whenever I close a file with multiple artboards and multiple layers, and re-open it, all artboards but one are erased (and renamed to "Artboad1"), and all my layers are grouped into one single layer.
Even when I fix the file, and save it, the next time I open it, the same thing happens.

Illustrator 2019- always making a selection
When I want to use the application, illustrator decides it wants to draw a selection. If I reach out of the workspace to use the toolbars or panels, it will draw a selection from on the artboard to my cursor, as if I were clicking and dragging. If I click back onto the artboard to disengage the selection and try to use the panels, it will make a new selection from the point I clicked. This renders the program unusable. There is also a lot of lag when navigating menus, and the cursor will decide to stick to the scrollbars at the bottom if I use them, too. I have tried using a different mouse and keyboard to no avail. Attached are my system specs.

Rendered objects not matching the outline
I have found multiple rendering issues with Illustrator 2020 on Mojave 10.14.6
There are three types:1.) When cutting an object with the path finder, it might occasionally produce straight lines instead of curves, although I can't replicate this and it happens rarely.
2.) The displayed object doesn't follow the outline accurately in general. This is blatantly obvious when zooming in to the max and drawing a small object.
3.) Lines aren't smooth, they have extremely tiny irregularities. These disappear when zooming (even when already at max) but only for the current screen. Moving the camera reveals new ones and point 2. stays always.
From what I tested, saving to .ai or .svg carries over point 1. and recalculates 2. and 3. Apparently that's just an issue Illustrator has in general?
Saving to .pdf or .png seems to fix everything, making these bugs only annoying when an Illustrator file is required.I have found multiple rendering issues with Illustrator 2020 on Mojave 10.14.6

Scatter Brush - Can't modify settings after initial setup
Hello,
I'm running Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.0 on Windows 10.0There seems to be a bug with the Scatter Brush tool, which I've encountered in the past few releases.
The "OK" button in the Scatter Brush Settings dialog doesn't seem to work; clicking it doesn't update the brush to your new settings. Instead, the dialog remains open as if the OK button was disabled (or the click wasn't registered). The same thing happens when there are no changes made to the options in the dialog...it simply won't register the OK button. Only the Cancel button closes this dialog (and no changes get applied, of course).
Steps taken:
1) Create new Scatter Brush with customized settings (all options set to "Random" with varying parameters)
2) Click OK. Dialog closes and new Scatter Brush is created with settings per #1.
3) Open the Scatter Brush Settings dialog for the brush we just created.
4) Change parameters.
5) Click OK. The button flashes as though it were clicked, however the dialog box remains on screen. Click again and same thing. Tab over to the OK button using the keyboard and press the "Enter" key on keyboard. Same result, dialog box remains open.
6) Only the "Cancel" button (or "Escape" key) will close this dialog. The updated settings don't get applied and the Scatter Brush remains the same as before the whole ordeal.Hope this helps...thank you!
Ryan

Spot color names are incorrect in other applications
I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) in Japanese.
Opened an Illustrator 2020 file containing spot colors with Japanese names in Acrobat or place it to InDesign, the names are not as expected.
I can use English names for the new ones, but changing InDesign ink settings in all existing files can be difficult.
