  1. Export does not always work.

    Not sure how to fix but I have lost hours of work several times now. It seems that if you export at all it subsequently disables the automatic saving....additionally it will not allow a second export!!! which means i can see a file that i cannot save or export. all i get is a message that says cannot export.

    wifi is working fine, i can share files from any other app.
    if i press back i lose all of my work.
    nothing changes if i turn my ipad on or off.
    nothing seems weird the program runs fine and acts…

  3. Can’t export on Ipad 7th gen.

    Can’t export on IPad 7th gen, sometimes it crashes as well. Also will there be any integration with the Procreate app somehow? I’m working with procreate, I know it is a pixel based app, however it would be nice to have it as a export friendly option so that the users could image trace on the adobe illustrator app as well. I think that would be an excellent pairing.

  4. Connections and synchronisation issues

    Illustrator doesn’t seem to keep connected to the Creative Cloud, saying I am no longer connected and it doesn’t synchronize my work. I have lost multiple works this way.
    Impossibility to synchronize, save or stay registered (screenshots are in French sorry but this is basically what it says).
    Of course I tried login/logout and multiple other attempts to synchronize.

    When I export my file as svg, it doesn’t keep my mm units and has to be re-scaled in other applications. Scaling handled correctly in all other export formats.

  6. Transform->Properties Tab not working

    When using the “Properties -> Transform” tab on side to manually enter X, Y values for the purpose of creating a seamless pattern (exactness is key) it automatically adjusts values in a glitchy way. Sometimes just clicking on the value to pull up the number pad the value changes automatically (before a new value is even entered). I have tried with keyboard, Apple Pencil and finger and still having the problem regardless of method.

  8. Copy and paste seems to be an issue

    I have been trying to find a way to clear my clipboard for about 2 hours now. Every time I double tab instead of deselecting an object or a path it pastes something. First it pasted something from my MacBook which would cause it to freeze for 5 mins at a time, I’ve now tried copying a small space of writing from my notes and it still pastes this in as well. I have restarted both and turned my internet on and off and Bluetooth etc. So I assume this is a bug. There is no hand gestures that I…

  9. Type and curser

    The type tool is clunky. I can never know where the curser is - it’s not easy to select, double tap, hold finger down - I have to touch the type, double tap , all just to figure out where the curser is ~ It’s pretty frustrating.

    I’ve tried with my finger, pen tool and the track pad to see what works the best... it’s not ideal with anything

  11. Lost work due to bug

    After hitting the back button to save my work, some dialog popped open on the top right for a too short time to read what it said. After that I tried opening my work again but it only showed the "preview loading“ dialog for a very short amount of time and closed it again without opening my work. So I force closed the app and opened it again only to find my work not having been saved. Even the version history is empty. Very frustrating! Please never delete unsaved work!

    Occured on: iPad Pro 2020 12.9“

  12. While using Illustrator the app will crash in the middle of the

    While using illustrator on my iPad gen 7 with the latest update as of 3/10/2021 the app will periodically shut down and I lose my Mose resent work. Also while selection layers turning them on and off. When I turn off a layer or selected item the image in the layer menu does not show what it is.

  14. Document glitch

    I was working on a logo project, and I duplicated four artboards to make a new set, and when I did, half of them couldn’t paste because they went outside the document bounds, and the remaining artboards glitched when I tried to delete them. I closed and reopened the document, and none of the artboards came up, then I tried closing the app, and it still didn’t load, I also deleted the app and redownloaded it, amd it still didn’t load properly. Then the app wouldn’t load anything at all.

  15. Type on path sticks

    Even when layer of path is locked, the type seems to jump around, and is very laggy when moving around.

    When created the attached, the word ‘terrarium’ was on the bottom circle but upon locking and unlocking its layer its jumped to the top.

  16. Unable to see which spot color has been used once the object is deselected

    Can someone help please. It seems to me that once you deselect an object that has been filled with a spot colour you can no longer see what colour has been used for that object when you re-select it.
    Nothing is highlighted in the swatch panel and nothing seems to tell me the specific colour in the properties panel.
    When it is taken into Illustrator on the desktop it still is a spot colour.
    Can I see this information anywhere, am I missing something?

  17. Deselection bug when an image is added to the document

    After adding an image to a document a selection/deselection bug triggers. I am unable to reliably tap off a selected object to deselect it. It takes anywhere between 5-8 taps to register. Longer taps have a higher chance of registering.

    Once the image is removed from the document, normal selection behaviour returns (1 tap off the object deselect it).

    Considering I always start with a sketch layer to illustrate over, this renders the app unusable for me.

  18. Layers need fixing

    Sometimes objects drawn in the bottom-most layer will cover objects in layers above. Nothing changes as I reorganize the layers.

  19. Gradient fill glitching

    While trying to move the “markers” to change points of color in the gradient fill with my Apple Pencil Gen 2, the “markers” will glitch and flicker all over the screen while I hold them in one place.
