updated eps files no longer preview
Running Mac OS 10.13.5, Illustrator CC 22.1
When opening an existing eps file, I make a change to the file and then save. Then, when importing that file into ID, the image will not preview, and I just get a gray box. This also happens if I do a "save as" and overwrite the old file with the same name. However, if I choose "save a copy," the file previews fine. Help?

Problem with <use> element of SVG files
In SVG 1.0/1.1, the <use> element uses the
xlink:hrefattribute to refer to objects; In SVG 2.0, the attribute was changed tohref. Illustrator supports the former, but not the latter, content will be lost when opening such a file.Below is a simple test case (saved as a
.svgfile). There are three circles in it, the second one is referenced viaxlink:hrefand the third one is referenced viahref, opening the file in Illustrator will only see the first two.<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50" height="100">

svg mit Konturlinie wird falsch übersetzt
Illustrator Version 25.4 auf Windows 10
Beim Speichern einer ai Datei, welche einen Pfad mit einer Konturlinie (mittige Ausrichtung) 0,124 px enthält wird das svg korrekt abgespeichert.
Ändert man die Ausrichtung zu einer am Pfad innen liegenden oder außen liegenden Konturlinie, wird beim Speichern keine Konturlinie mehr mitgegeben sondern eine Füllfarbe, die die gesamte Fläche betrifft.Dies ist eine falsche svg Darstellung bzw. Ausgabe. Nachfolgende ist der Text der svg´s dargestellt.
svg Inhalt korrekt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

2019 Mac Pro with AMD Pro VEGA II Duo Graphics
This has been something I've brought up a couple times to Adobe and they know it's a problem but it seems like the resolution of this has been slow going.
These newer Mac Pro graphics cards don't seem to be supported with the newest version of Adobe Illustrator.
It's a problem because Adobe Illustrator runs extremely slow when it says that there isn't a compatible GPU. Can anything be done to add these graphics cards to the "approved" list?

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.

Clipping Mask broken in SVG export if name contains hyphen
An Illustrator document that contains a clipping mask will not export correctly if the path used for clipping has a - in the name.
In the resulting SVG code, the path definition looks like this:
<rect id="clipping-path" ... >
but the reference to it looks like this:
<use xlink:href="#clipping_x002D_path" ... >
You can see that the - was converted to "x002D" for the "use" tag, but not for the "rect" tag.
Test files attached.

Cannot export large files to .png format at 300dpi
I’m using the command: File > Export As > PNG
Use artboards: Not selected
Resolution: High (300dpi)
Ahti-Aliasing: None
Background Color: TransparentI have an immediate need to export Illustrator files of roughly 8000 px by 6500px to .png format at 300dpi. I tried doing this with a file containing a complicated drawing, but it fails and displays an error box saying:

Opening a PDF file, previously saved in Ai
After working on a file and trying to save it, it kept telling me it couldn't save. I finally gave up and then just saved it as a PDF. I was able to work from the PDF. So i saved the PDF. And now I can't open the PDF or the illustrator file. It gives me the dialog: Can't open the illustration. The file is locked or in use. ID: -54
It's also not letting me upload the illustrator file here, only the PDF file.

Unembeding image to .PSD change resolution
I noticed recently that on my new MacBookPro 16 - M1 Max on macOS 12.1 Monterey, with AI 26.0.2 when I unembed an image to .PSD format, the extracted image is resampled and the résolution is changed. Only PSD format does that. Choosing TIF is working as expected.
This is not happening on my old MacBook running the same AI version but on macOS Catalina.
So I don’t know where the bug is: On Monterey or in the M1Max Chip.

Can't add new items to my CC Libraries when working from home
Here is my issue, I have two Mac computers both running the latest version of the Ventura operating system (13.6.7 at the time of this post), one of them is at the office and the other one is at home for work I do when away from the office.

Difference in SVG clipboard code between Mac and Windows in v25.4
There has been a change in the SVG code format AI puts in the clipboard for Windows starting in v25.4.
I've been using the clipboard to paste designs into the Glowforge interface for the past 3+ years. it worked properly up until the most recent update. then I started having scaling issues.
I posted on the Glowforge site and found that people using the Mac in v25.4 aren't having the same issue. The Glowforge engineers looked at the SVG clipboard code for Mac and windows and figured out that the issue is that the clipboard code for Windows has changed.

Selection of many objects across layers causes Illustrator to stop responding.
Running Windows 10 Pro and Illustrator v 25.1.
Opened existing illustrator file
Unlocked a layer of my design
Attempted to select all items within that layer.
Expected: Items are selected and can be manipulated
Actual: Illustrator stopped responding.I attempted to select the items multiple ways, including the "Click to target..." circle to the right of the layer in the Layers window, using Ctrl+A, and using the Selection Tool.
I cannot provide my file, but I will provide further details:
The top layer that I had unlocked included many groupings nested within it. I was able to reproduce the issue…

AI 25.4.1 GPU performance still very slow, cannot easily editing previous version files
Since AI 25.2 I've had problems editing files. With GPU features enabled, all UI functions, selecting, deselecting, all mouse dragging functions, menu selections are all extremely slow to respond, I'm talking several seconds between responses to clicks and movement. Turning off "Real Time Editing" helps somewhat, delays are shortened, but still very difficult to work with. Disabling Animated-zoom has no effect. Disabling GPU entirely, improves selection and dragging, but there is still a delay of several seconds after releasing the mouse button. This behavior seems restricted to editing files prior to v25.2, but not all. Preforming a "SaveAs" over the…

Importing SVG with a linked PDF inside a symbol does not work
Normally if you open an SVG file with an image xlink:href pointing to a ai/pdf file it links and shows the file where the image is. However, if that image is inside a symbol (I found some issues with <defs> too) it does not link and is missing entirely.

SVG保存時にスワッシュ字形等が書き出されない
macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
Illustrator ver.29.3.1再現手順
1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に「Air」と入力し欧文フォント(スワッシュ字形が有効なもの)を指定する。
2.OpenTypeパネルの「スワッシュ字形」と「タイトル用字形」をクリックする。
3.SVG形式で保存。その際、フォントをサブセットで埋め込む。
4.ブラウザ等で確認するとスワッシュ字形等がデフォルトの字形で表示される。期待する結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が正しく表示される。実際の結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が標準字形になる。SwashやTitlingAlternatesはスタイルに対してfont-feature-settings等の設定が必要になりますが、Illustratorはそういった設定を保存しません。また、フォントサブセットを保存した場合でも標準字形のグリフが保存されます。
EN Translate:
Step to Reproduce
1. open a new document, type "Air" on the artboard, and specify a western font (with swash glyphs enabled).
2. Click "Swash" and "Titling Alternates" in the OpenType panel.
3. Save the file in SVG format. (Embed the font as a subset.)
4. When we check the file in a browser, the swash and Titling Alternates will be displayed as default glyph.Expected Results
Swash and titlling Alternates are displayed correctly.Actual result
Swash and titleling Altermates are fallback…2 votes -
Inaccurate shapes for extremely small complex shapes
Windows 10 V24.3
Open file (new or existing), Specs 10000x5000 px.
Zoom in to 64000%.
Select Pencil Tool. Double click settings (ensure color fill).
No stroke. Any color fill.
Draw complex, but small shape.
Problem: Shape is not held. Not enough anchors are added to keep original draw accurate. Add anchor should not be needed for quick workflow.In my example. Drawing small lakes on a large world map. This changes the shape of my lakes, or I must make them bigger, but that will change the accuracy of my map.
This bug seems sporadic as sometimes I can create…
