  4. v25.4 Changed ID format for items with same name when saving SVGs

    Do this on both v25.3.1 with v25.4 (Both Mac, Windows):
    Assuming Identify Objects By Object Name is on.
    1) Create new document
    2) Create two items (e.g. rectangle)
    3) Rename rectangles to same name
    4) Save SVG (not export)

    Expected format from v25.3.1:
    <rect id="rect_1_" ...
    <rect id="rect" ...

    Actual v25.4 output:
    <rect id="rect_00000161598596446820662850000009930553674419257219_" ...
    <rect id="rect"

    We have clients who have CSS selectors that dynamically change the SVG, so now they can't update their designs in our system because it breaks the CSS selectors.

    Afterwards, changing "Identify Objects By" shows that same ID name in the layers panel.

  7. Weird neon pink image of straight horizontal lines while creating new symbol

    As I was making a new symbol, I had another tab open of a house I was creating and in the midst of making such my laptop went blank showing some weird neon pink image of straight horizontal lines, and then it went blank and then after that my laptop restarted. It was only after I reported the bug to apple I realized looking back at my other tab on illustrator that the original image I was using for practice on illustrator got really messed up and can't use now.

  8. Saving under macOS with cmd-S and cmd-D results in an error

    I save my AI document under macOS 10.15.7 with the key combination cmd-S and immediately also press cmd-D so that the document lands on the desktop.

    Since Illustrator 25.4.1, this results in an error message. I have to wait a while after pressing cmd-S before I can press cmd-D. Only then does it work.

    Speichern unter macOS mit cmd-S, cmd-D ergibt Fehler

    Ich speichere meine AI-Dokument unter macOS 10.15.7 mit der Tastenkombination cmd-S und drücke sofort auch cmd-D, damit das Dokument auf dem Schreibtisch landet.

    Seit Illustrator 25.4.1 ergibt das je doch eine Fehlermeldung. Ich muss nach cmd-S etwas warten,…

  9. comment empêcher plusieurs personnes d'être sur le même fichier illustrator ?

    Bonjour. Je travaille sous Windows 10 avec Illustrator 2021. Voici mon problème : Comment empêcher plusieurs personnes d'être sur le même fichier Illustrator ?
    Une collègue travaille sur un fichier. Je peux ouvrir ce même fichier, faire une modification, enregistrer. Ma collègue fini ses modifications et enregistre. Ma modification est perdue. Rien ne me signale que quelqu'un travaille déjà sur un fichier!
    Comment faire ? Merci de votre aide

  10. Missing feature in the French version - UI scaling

    L'option UI scaling dans Edition > Preferences > Interface utilisateur n'est pas dispo dans la version française. Mes collègues qui ont comme moi la version 25.4.1 en anglais ont cette option. Je n'arrive pas à installer la version en anglais, le changement de langue dans creative Cloud n'est pas pris en compte. J'aimerais disposer de cette option.
    system : Windows 10

    This option is available only when OS and display’s resolution allow it.

    As this help article mentions, 'The UI scaling isn't supported for Windows 7 and for screens with low resolution' (however, no actual specs are given).

    So this should no be caused by the UI language.

    Please share the specs of your display or comment back if it’s no longer a problem.

  12. Auswahl-Darstellungsproblem – Auswahl praktisch unsichtbar

    Illustrator 25.4.1 / Mac OS 10.14.6
    Aktive Griffe werden weiß dargestellt statt in der Farbe der jeweiligen Ebene.
    Wird ein Pfadsegment bewegt, erscheint dieses beim Bewegen auch weiß statt farbig.
    Auswahl praktisch nicht sichtbar, Arbeiten so kaum möglich.
    Aktive Griffe sollten gefüllt + in der Farbe der jeweiligen Ebene erscheinen, wie gewohnt. Auch die Vorschau einer Pfadkontur oder eines mit der Maus gezogenen Auswahlrechtecks.

  13. Digitizer driver broken after switching to touch mode

    I'm working on a Lenovo Yoga ThinkPad with Wacom digitizer.

    In normal (notebook) mode, the pen is working properly. However, when flipping the screen and rotating it for hand writing (so that it lies flat in front of me) the Wacom driver breaks. No further input with the pen is possible. Starting the Wacom configuration tool says, the driver is not running. (It was working before properly.) Things are normal again after a reboot - until a flip the screen.

    The issue is reproducible and appeared first after the upgrade to Illustrator 2021 (25.4.1) and Windows 10 version 20H2.

  16. Exporting of Multiple Artboards in PDF gets messed up the order of pages (Artboards)

    Exporting an AI file that has multiple artboards in it to PDF used to show the artboards in order. Now it just messes up my artboard order. The artboard names are 1,2,3,4.. After export the pages come in this order: 1,2,4,3

    My illustrator version: 25.4.1

    Same file works perfectly in the previous version (before I updated)

  18. Attribution NUMÉRIQUE des couleurs

    I type it : " C 18 / M 98 / J 97 / N22 "

    I save.

    Then i open the color's details.

    I get : C 22,68 / M 97,9 / J 99,65 / N 17,56

    If i type EXACTLY a number, i want to get EXACTLY THIS NUMBER. And if i go to RGB and then come back to CMJN, I WANT EXACTLY THE NUMBER I TYPED. Why i typed this value ???? Cause i want THIS value. Not another.
