  1. Coding tips

    Could you please encode a version of Illustrator that would work once and not crash your computer every other hour!!! This same thing has now happened in 3 different versions of Illustrator in a row and I always have to use the old version before your coders learn to do something right!

  2. Moving rotation anchor sticks to cursor - Pen tablet

    Windows 10 64bit.

    For literally years now, when you use a wacom pen, hold alt to move to the position of an object's rotation anchor, it sticks the anchor to the cursor and there's no way of detaching it unless you minimise and reopen the software.

    This has been a problem for more versions than I can count. (We're talking in excess of five years, probably more?) It's happened on different machines and different pen tablets so it's a software problem. Oh how I'd love it to be actually fixed one day!

  3. Transform Each panel calculating center point differently than rotate tool for arrowheads AI 26.0.1

    Lines with arrowheads are rotated off center when using Transform Each as opposed to rotating each separately using the rotate tool. The first screenshot shows the initial position. The next shows the position after using Transform Each. The next two show individual transforms of the objects in question.

  5. Portrait Mode

    Older versions of Illustrator support Portrait Mode - it seems like CC does not. This is very useful if your main computer is a Microsoft Surface docked in portrait mode or have a secondary monitor in portrait mode, or if using a Surface will on the go you prefer to work in portrait mode. It seems like it would be simple to change as when the Illustrator window is not active it reverts to portrait mode anyway, also my old version (CS4) works just fine in this mode so it has been done before. I've attached a video showing how…

  6. All confimation boxes closing

    Everytime I do an action that recquires a confirmation box - such as Save Document, Rasterize Text, etc - the box closes in less than a second, making impossible to do anything. So, when I'm working I can't save - and sometimes can't even shut down the program because all boxes closes in a blink.

    Im using the last AI version and Windows 11. Can someone help me? :(

  7. GPU not working with Wacom when using Illustrator

    When using my Wacom Cintiq Illustrator colours de saturate and fade. When I uncheck GPU performance the problem disappears and the colours return to as they should be. But I want to use my GPU for complex artwork
    The problem does not occur on my desktop monitor only on my Cintiq.

  9. Text pasted from Photoshop resizes by interesting ratio

    When live text copied from Photoshop is pasted into Illustrator (or the other way 'round), it resizes.
    The amount of change is predictable (and infuriating):
    the PSD's resolution divided by 72 (when pasting into Illustrator) or
    72 divided by the PSD's resolution (when pasting into Photoshop)

    Process:
    Highlight text in Photoshop with the Type tool (example: resolution is 300ppi)
    Copy it
    Paste into an Illustrator document (neither raster effects resolution nor type unit of measurement matter)

    Result: text is very different (300/72 times larger for text from a 300ppi Photoshop doc)
    Type copied in AI then pasted into a 300ppi…

  10. Pantone swatches being deleted even after adding them to the correct folder

    Our graphic users need to use additional Pantones in Adobe illustrator. In order to do that, they copy some Pantone files to the AI's Pantones folder on the local machine. When they open AI, they can see and use the Pantone. The problem is, that after they close the AI application, it the Pantone files being deleted automatically from the AI's pantone folder. Therefore, they copy the Pantones to the AI's folder each time they need to use it, which is very discouraging.

  11. Issues saving CMYK vector as PNG

    I am trying to save my vector as a PNG file, something simple, and it looks good on the Artboard, but for some reason after saving it, it changes some colors, like some sort of blending mode effect and I tried everything, still not working. The RGB vector is being saved just fine, is the CMYK version that I am having issues with.

  13. Touchscreen drawing not working

    I am on a Lenovo IdeaPad, and the touchscreen drawing does not work even in touchscreen mode. Rarely will it show what I drew and even then, it is after I have lifted my finger. I can only really place dots. Also, pinch-to-zoom doesn't work. Seems to be related to this forum post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/unable-to-draw-with-a-pen-on-touch-screen-on-windows/m-p/11376148

  16. AMD Radeon Pro 580 rendering bug

    Hi, I have a 2017 iMac Retina 5k 27", 64GB RAM, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 with AMD Radeon Pro 580 GPU, 8Gb VRAM, driver version 01.00.931, Illustrator 25.4.1. I am getting odd effects in rendering of linear gradients where angular areas of colour appear at higher magnifications. If the GPU is turned off in Illustrator prefs the effect disappears. Please see screenshot attached showing the effect with GPU. Is there a fix for this, please?

  17. Illustrator 2022 DOES NOT OPEN.

    This new Illustrator update DOES NOT WORK. Just installed the new 2022 update yesterday 11/01, and it worked for half the day, and in the second half, the app refused to open. Tried again this morning 11/02, and there was a small update to Illustrator, so in hopes of fixing the issue from yesterday, I installed the update, and guess what, still broken. I reinstalled the past version of Illustrator, and that doesn't work now either. I'm not telling you how to do your job Adobe, but for me to do my job, I need Illustrator to work. If you…

    This is embarrassing and incredibly sad to hear. I can’t imagine to be cut off a my main tool when I need it.
    I guess the only option you can try is to clean all the traces of previous versions installed with the Cleaner Tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html), install 2021 version and hope it work.
    So sorry it happened, and I wish I could do more.
    Please add votes to this if you experience the same issue, it will help to initiate a proper investigation.

  18. テキスト操作時のIビームの点滅が早すぎる

    Illustrator 26.0 (Intel/Ja_JP)
    macOS10.15.7

    テキスト入力時のIビームのフリッカが強すぎる。Tツールにてマウスカーソルを移動し挿入点を変更した際に特に早くなります。現象の動画を添付します。
    入力時はカーソル付近を注視するため図形明滅刺激の影響による健康被害の発生につながる可能性もあります。ver.25の仕様に戻していただきたいと思います。
    また、M1でも同様の挙動との報告を受けております。

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックへご協力いただきありがとうございます。

    ご報告いただいた内容の詳細が不明ですので、詳細をお知らせください。

    最初にお願いがございます。

    「Illustrator 2022」は、先日、安定性の向上をおこなったバージョン「ver.26.0.1」を一般リリースいたしました。
    ご報告いただいた現象について、この最新バージョンで再現するかをご確認ください。

    もし、同じように再現するような場合は、以下の質問にお答えください。

    1. マシンのハードスペックをお教えください。
    2. どのようにデータを作成し、どのような操作でフリーズするのか、再現手順をお書きください。
    3. 再現データがあるようでしたら、検証用にご提供ください。

    お手数をおかけいたしますが、よろしくお願いいたします。

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックにご協力いただきありがとうございます。

    ご報告いただいた「PhotoshopEPS 画像を配置するとサイズが大きくなる」という現象ですが、再現できませんでした。

    Photoshop の画像解像度ダイアログで「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じデータを各種画像形式で保存し、Illustrator 2022 に配置した場合は、同じサイズで読み込まれています。

    いくつか質問させていただきます。

    1. Illustrator 2022 では、全ての Photoshop EPS 画像ファイルで同じ現象が再現しますか? (リンク、埋め込み)

    2. Illustrator 2021 で新規ドキュメントを作成し、同じデータを配置しても問題ありませんか?

    3. 各画像データを Photoshop で開いて画像解像度ダイアログで確認しても、同じサイズ設定ですか?

    4. 確認しても「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じ画像データにも関わらず、やはり Illustrator への配置サイズが変わってしまうようでしたら、問題のデータを検証用にご提供いただけますか?

    以上、お手数をおかけいたしますがよろしくお願いいたします。
