  1. Make it so that you can zoom in and out with the track pad

    Make it so that you can zoom in and out with the track pad. As of right now I can't zoom in or out when pinching on the track pad.

  3. Manual Dimensions don’t stick to the objects they are intended to be linked to

    Starting form Ai Beta 28.4.0.7, dimension objects are sticky (linked) to the objects we click with the Dimension tool — so that when we move or transform the objects, their linked dimensions move with them.

    For some reason this applies only to 'Aligned dimensions' (those that are made with the click-drag-release method).

    When we use click-click-click method, Illustrator creates 'Manual dimensions', which look the same way as the aligned ones, but for some peculiar reasons that makes no sense to us, are not sticky.

    This means that we can’t apply live and linked dimensions to objects that are anything more…

    The latest Beta 28.5.0.78 allows manual dimensions to stick to arbitrary points and recalculate correctly when objects are repositioned or transformed — just as we expected it to. This includes gaps also.

    Please try it and see if it works for all the cases you have and comment back.

  4. Memory Leak: Artboards/Raster Images/Generative Expand

    I'm playing around with creating small artboards on top of a raster image to delineate the areas I'd like to trace later. Every time I do anything with these artboards, I get a warning saying that Generative AI doesn't support raster images yet and my memory usage spikes and doesn't drop afterward. I found this out when my M1 MacBook Pro warned me that I was out of memory with Illustrator using 180GB (including swap, one assumes...).


    Oh, details, yes: MacOS 15.1.1, 32 GB of RAM, Illustrator Beta v29.4.29


    And it's worth noting that clicking the Feedback button (the little…

  5. Issue with Eyedropper Tool Not Sampling Gradients from Images in Latest Illustrator Beta Update

    Dear Adobe Support Team,

    I’m experiencing an issue with the Eyedropper tool in the latest update of Adobe Illustrator. Previously, I was able to sample gradients directly from images and apply them to other objects with the Eyedropper tool, and this feature worked smoothly. However, since updating, the tool no longer seems to pick up gradients as it did before, even though I have not changed any settings.

    I've confirmed that the Eyedropper tool is functioning correctly with solid colors, but when I attempt to sample a gradient from an image, it only applies a single color instead of the…

  7. Entering a value int Width filed in Transform applies a different one instead

    The transform tool isn't working properly. I typed .75 into the W field, clicked on the H field, and got the attached image. Can we get this fixed asap? I'm not a fan of fighting the tools to get them to do what they usually do perfectly.

  9. Illustrator hangs when copying and pasting text in CJK fonts

    If I copy and attempt to paste any Japanese language text in Illustrator, the app hangs for an extended period (1 minute or so), and then finally pastes the text rendering it nearly unusable. Do not have the same issue for English text.

  10. BUG: Scripting from C#, arm64, Windows 11

    Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Illustrator.Application'.
    This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{95CD20AA-AD72-11D3-B086-0010A4F5C335}' failed due to the following error:

    No such interface supported (0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

    The code
    Illustrator.Application appInstance = (Illustrator.Application)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Illustrator.Application"));


    Note: Code moved from Windows 10 Intel machine where it works fine.

    Thanks for looking into this ... and for a great beta product!

  13. Inconsistent Anti-Aliasing When Combining Shapes with Outline in Adobe Illustrator

    Description: There is a noticeable inconsistency in anti-aliasing when combining shapes with an outline in Adobe Illustrator.

    Left Image (With Outline): Shapes with an outline are rasterized with a visible anti-aliasing effect.
    Right Image (Combined Shape): After combining the shapes, the anti-aliasing effect appears smoother and more refined.
    From my understanding, both images should exhibit similar anti-aliasing behavior when rasterized, as they are essentially the same shapes. However, the anti-aliasing in the first image (with outlines) is harsher compared to the combined result on the right.

    Expected Behavior: Both shapes should be rasterized with the same level of anti-aliasing, regardless…

  16. Save as... SVG = Distortion Export as... SVG = No Distortion (Illustrator 29.0.1)

    I have read a few other posts regarding SVG distortion when saving an illustrator file (.ai). When I choose, Save as... I get distorted objects when reopening the file. It varies from points, but typically will add an extra point in various locations of the path. Also, as a test, I tried to save the original and undistorted illustrator file (.ai) through the Export as... option and the file saved perfectly with no distortion. A simple workaround, however, the bug needs to be fixed.

  18. Star (triangle) rounded edges Bug in v 28.7

    Every time I try to round the edges of a 3 points star (triangle) the notification bellow shows up on my Adobe Illustrator (Beta) 28.7 version and as a consequence I can't round it. By the way, I'm using it on Windows 10 Pro 64 bits and I had this same problem in diffente files.

  19. Inside / Outside aligned strokes don’t trim sharp corners properly

    The fact Inside / Outside aligned strokes are in fact dynamically generated compound shapes is a well obscured mystery, and it poses a ton of problems for experienced users.

    However, this problem is blatantly obvious for all of us.
    1. Make a path with a sharp angle, set sharp corners
    2. Try to align stroke to Inside / Outside (open paths currently support this only in Beta)
    3. Just look at the results.

    What are these protrusions?
    Why don’t they get auto-trimmed?
    Why expanding them gives a zero-width disjointed sliver and two unconnected shapes?

    The team has encountered several issues with this feature. It requires them to change the basic algorithms and it is going to take them more time than anticipated.

    While it still works in Beta 28.8.0.7, the next Beta build will have Inside/Outside aligned strokes for open paths disabled. The Beta is scheduled to be live on 7th of August.

    Once this is ready to be enabled back, the team will update the status.
