  1. Extension EAN13 Maker

    EAN13 maker window is not working as it should.

    • Window is with sliders even as resolution is 2560*1440.
    • Font settings is reset every time AI is reopened
    • EAN file overrides units preference and is ALWAYS in Points

    Very annoying and severly limits the use of a tool which could become extremely important in our workflow.

    Please contact makes of the extension. Since the extension is not released by Adobe i request you to contact developers of EAN13

  2. Extremely slow "export for screens" and saving

    I'm suffering a performance reduction in my workflow thanks to the latest update (23.0). I usually have at least five artboards per file project--sometimes up to 20. I used to export designs within 30 seconds and now it takes up to 5 minutes.

    I haven't change anything in terms of hardware or workflow. My exports are slow no matter if the file goes to the server or to my hard drive. This is driving me crazy!

  7. Curvature tool has a mind of its own!

    Curvature Tool makes curved lines before using the handles...it thinks for itself - never used to be this way. The old way is the best - older versions before 2018 I believe.
    Please advise...

  8. Progress in window or panel

    I almost never use the Application Bar (Mac).

    Maybe put a progress bar for saving files in a regular window or panel?

  14. 3D revolve doesn't draw properly

    I drew half a star, tried to revolve it but it doesn't always layer and shade the different parts correctly. Sometimes a cone appears outside of it. Another example in this screenshot, where there's a line visible straight through it and the shading is wrong in the top part:

  15. Selecting using a marquee selecting objects outside of it

    As the title describes, this is a bug with the selection tool. I've had this bug several times today, everytime it does I have to restart Illustrator which is madness.

    feel free to check the files that I've provided, and please FIX THE BUGS BEFORE ADDING MORE FEATURE TO ILLUSTRATOR. the features are useless unless Illustrator improve the reliability to the users.

  16. Cutting out parts of the exported PNG

    Exporting "saveforweb" PNG cut all the logos a few pixels in.

    P.S. ever since CC was released (and started renting out your software) the quality went down, your software doesnt work well with macos catalina. BOOOOOOO Adobe. BOOOOOOOO.

  17. Opening WMF through Windows Command Line creates distortion

    When opening a WMF in the latest 2020 AI via the Windows command line, e.g.

    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2020\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe" 745-2969563.wmf

    It opens the WMF, but it is distorted as in the attached wmf_distorted.png.

    However, if you open a blank document and import it with File->Place, it renders it correctly

    I appreciate any and all help.

  18. CAN YOU PLEASE REVERT TO LEGACY SCALING OPTIONS!!! PLEASE

    Illustrator 23.0.1 - Scale tool doesn't work the same as it's been for years!! Ugh!

    Please revert to the legacy behavior of scaling shapes, images and text proportionately by using the scale tool + holding shift key and drag to enlarge or reduce size of shape proportionately. This way has been burned in my brain for many, many, many years. My fingers move faster than I can think, and now my logos turn out wonky unless I scale it the long way, by opening up the scale tool and typing in percentages!! No thanks.

    ABOBE USER FOR OVER 20 YEARS.…

  19. pathfinder panel missing

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue that I haven't been able to find an answer for after spending some time researching it.
    I just downloaded Illustrator CC and I went into windows to turn on the pathfinder panel. It was an available option so I was able to turn it on, but no panel is displayed as per usual. Any idea how to fix this? I tried resetting my workspace preferences and restarting the program to no avail

  20. Artboards disappear and is replaced by guides for artboard when reopening an existing document

    Using Illustrator Version 22.0.1 on PC. Also happens on my Imac at work as well.

    This happens from time to time but does get somewhat annoying when it does.

    When I open an existing document, the artboards are all gone except for one artboard and what is left instead are guides for where those artboards are meant to be, and a new layer has been created in the layers panel with the name 'Guide For Artboards'.

    There isn't anything out of the ordinary I do when saving a file so I have no idea why it likes to do this…

    Hi,

    You need save files in Illustrator CS4 or higher version to preserve the artboards. If any file file is saved below that version all the artboards are converted into guides.

    Thanks
