  1. Will not change stroke color

    I am trying to trace an object on illustrator but it will not let me change the color of the stroke, it will not even bring up the color swatches in the normal stroke panel for me to click on. I have tried resetting essentials classic, resetting preferences, and changing the view.

    There is nothing wrong with the file, as I can tell...

    The Swatches panel is empty indeed, the only swatch in it is the sport RGB white. Perhaps somebody deleted them to save some file size?

    If you want to have default swatches though, you can load them back.

    Open Swatches panel, click the 'bookshelf' 'Swatch Libraries menu' button, locate 'Default Swatches' and choose 'Web'. Now you can select a swatch you need directly from the opened panel, or drag-n-drop a selection of swatches you need into the main Swatches panel.

    Please comment back.

  4. Illustrator no deja guardar los archivos a la primera

    Al guardar un archivo en otro formato, la opción queda bloqueada. Tengo que cerrar la ventana y volver a guardar y ahí se activa la opción de guardar en otro formato.

  6. Can't see anything but icons, no letters.

    I just installed Illustrator and I cannot see anything but icons and the top panel. I restarted it multiple times, even reinstalled it, but nothing works. I have Windows 10

  8. Ich vermisse den einfachen Einstieg in Illustrator

    Warum ist es auf einmal nicht mehr möglich ein simples Dokument in A4 in Illustrator zu öffnen. Schon ziemlich dämlich gemacht. Wer will denn immer diese Vorlagen? Kreativ geht auch anders!! Kann ich das irgendwie ändern? Das ist einfach nur doof!

  9. Features we could easily do without

    My idea is to limit the bad ideas. Such as "Invite to Edit." besides the fact that every good artist knows that design-by-committee yields bad designs all you have to do is send the file to the user you want to collaborate with! It's not a feature!!! We could already do it just fine and we didn't have to throw our intellectual property into a cloud which could be stolen or compromised by anyone at any time. The way Adobe's programs crash all the time do you think I'm going to entrust my clients files to your cloud? if I…

  10. オブジェクト(主にテキスト)が選択できない

    打ち込みをしたテキストが選択できないことが多々発生しております。
    その部分は印刷もできないので文字が抜けたまま出力し現場に回ってしまうという業務に支障が出ています。
    保存をして落とし再び立ち上げると問題は解決するのですが毎回その動作をするわけにもいかず、必ず不具合が起こっているわけでもないので困っています。これはPCの問題でしょうか?ご回答お願いします。(著作権等の問題で一部しか画像がのせれません)

  12. "Preview" button does not turn off effect in non-destructive effects like "tweak"

    Select outline
    Select Effect > Distort and Transform > Pucker & Bloat (or any of them except Twist)
    Check off or on "preview" in dialog.

    Preview does not turn off.

  13. Skalierungsecken verschwinden bei zu schmalen Objekten

    Ich habe folgendes Problem. Wenn ich ein Objekt auswähle, kommt ja automatisch der blauen Begrenzungsrahmen mit den kleinen blauen Quadraten, die ich anfassen kann um die Größe zu verändern.
    Wenn die Objekte groß genug sind, kommt nicht nur in den Ecken das blaue Quadrat, sondern auch auf der Mitte der Strecke. Wenn man den Punkt in der Mitte anfässt, kann man das Objekt nur in dieser Richtung skalieren, was hilft, wenn man nicht aus Versehen Höhe und Breite verändern will.

    In meinen uralten Illustrator 10 hatte ich, wenn das Objekt zu schmal wurde, einfach einen blauen Begrenzungsrahmen, der größer war…

  14. Spot colours in gradients are not exported to PDF

    If I have a gradient that includes a spot colour, and then export that file as a PDF, the spot colour is removed from the gradient. This happens no matter what PDF export setting I use.

    See example images attached.

  17. Colour conversion values have changed?

    Our company logo uses 3 colours. 100% cyan, 100% magenta and 100% yellow.
    Had rgb values for these for years, but have done a conversion of the logo today and the rgb values are different to previously. Why would this be? In illustrator.
