  1. 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…

    How important is this to you?

    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.

  2. Shift Constrain not working

    Since update to v29.5.0.35, holding the shift key while resizing an object does not constrain the aspect ratio of the object.
    This happens whether "Transform Tools" is checked or unchecked.

    One exception is if I create a new object using the shape tool. Constraint works for those objects until I alter them, or if I try to resize while another object is selected.

    I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator and the OS.
