We are excited to announce that this feature is now available in all the public builds starting V29.1.
The new 'Create swatch info' helps you share color information accurately with others by including color codes.
To use this, just select the colors from the swatch panel and click on 'Create swatch info' in the menu options.
You can customise the size, layout, color codes etc.
Please try out this feature and let us know what you think!
Just to clarify 'Completed' doesn't means the UV is 'Closed', it simply means the UV is available publicly in the GA builds. The UserVoice platform doesn't allow us to have a intermediate status hence the confusion.
We are currently gathering all the user feedbacks and working on a plan to address them.
Thanks for your understanding.

Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!
Dear Illustrator Community,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.
While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.
Our Approach
We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.
It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

Just had to update a job from this time last year that involved exporting a 2.4m x 900mm complex vector artwork to a 300dpi PNG file. Last year it took over two hours to process it, this year it took 15 minutes. Very satisfying to see all 8 cores maxed out and Activity Monitor reporting Illustrator CPU usage @ 790%! Last year it was capped at one core & 100%.
Thank you for the progress so far, this is a great update and I look forward to seeing similar results for Object > Rasterize and Gaussian Blur. Great work!

@InstyButte Typesetting2
and the rest who say its not multi-threadded.The Apple silicon version is definitely multithreaded,
i have the 8 core M2 and when i gaussian blur 150 objects at once it takes about 5 seconds and the cpu usage for Illustrator peaks at about 580% while it processes.Rendering all those blurred objects still only uses one core though. Weirdly it used core 6, unlike the intel version that uses core 1 for everything.

Thanks for the update. You didn’t mention effects or rasterize object. Those are the two functions that I seem to wait the longest on. Specifically gaussian blur.
Cheers.

Thank you for finally making Illustrator multi-threaded. It runs like a dream now. All I had to do was buy a Mac with Apple Silicon and Illustrator has never been better. It's quicker for me to save a large AI file in iCloud drive on my intel iMac, open it on my 2022 Macbook Air, rasterize the artboard @ 600dpi, save it and wait for it to update on the iMac... than it is to simply rasterize it on the iMac. The new M2 mac mini is looking like a decent fix for this problem.

Whilst it may seem that Adobe is ignoring this topic, in fact, some of the latest versions of Illustrator appear to have some multithreading capabilities for certain tasks. I noticed when I applied a blur to a vector image with 1000s of complex paths by mistake, the app became unresponsive, so I checked Activity monitor and Illustrator was utilising all 4 cores. I tested some other tasks like saving a massive file and 3d filters but they still only used one core..

"between Intel and AMD the challenge is who produces processors with fewer nanometers and more cores .... who 10 cores, who 12, who 16 cores .... "
technology advancements are fuelled by competition in the marketplace, the problem with illustrator is the only real competition they face is piracy, so we have a application with 12 different adobe background binaries running before you even open illustrator! If adobe put as much time into rewriting illustrator for multithreading as they do into battling against adobezii.com with EVERY SINGLE REVISION.. then it would have been completed years ago!
Pirates gonna pirate, is it really worth all that effort to have the latest version uncrackable for that two or so weeks before it is cracked again? Maybe if they earned the $79/month they're asking for, more people would choose to pay it.

I came here to ask if it was possible to make the measurement text update when the line is resized, but I found this option + click feature and it seems like this solves my problem.
Deleting the old ones and automatically creating new ones this way is probably quicker than resizing.
I do agree that a default offset would be useful. Or at least have a checkbox in the settings panel or modifier key that places the dimension lines on the canvas, just outside of the artboard please.

This works great for objects. Can you please apply the sizing to the artboard handles and artboard name label please? The artboard name label is too tiny on a 32" 4K monitor.

I added a 20% grey cmyk stroke to a rectangle and got this error. It was in an EPS file supplied by a customer. I'm using a
27" iMac 2017
4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Radeon Pro 580 8 GB
64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4I went to edit > undo, view > preview and it went back to how it was. I created a new rectangle and applied the strroke and no error. originally i was adding the stroke to a rectangle that already existed in the file.

Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

I can't seem to find any way to make the artboard label bigger. It's super hard to read the number on a 4K monitor and scaling the UI in settings doesn't affect the size of the label. I attached a picture of the label so you know what I'm talking about.

The thing that is most annoying about this, is that for 10 years it worked the way you are requesting and then it changed for some unknown reason.
I notice there is an option in the settings on the selection tab that says 'Object Selection by Path Only' but having it checked does not have the effect it describes.
I'm not sure if Egor's comment is a suggestion to the OP or to a dev that will read this thread but I see that there is a button for 'show centre' and 'don't show centre'.
Regardless of which button I click the centre remains visible when the vector object is selected HOWEVER it does stop it from being selected with a drag to select gesture. GREAT!Now how can I make it so all objects have 'Don't Show Centre' by default?
Please don't tell me it's going to be another hyphenation check box situation.

- Select the objects in your artwork you want to calculate the area for.
- Select the Measure Tool from the Toolbar.
- The calculated area will be displayed in the Info panel, shown automatically.
- Shift + Click on a segment in the existing selection to remove/add it to area calculation.
- Configure measurement options by accessing the flyout menu of the panel. You can customize units, precision, and scale to suit your requirements.
Please update to v29.3 from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and keep sharing your feedback!

this is a great idea, I use a script that calculates the area but its output is in square inches and unfortunately i live in one of the 194 countries that use the metric system. I use the document info palette already so it would be ideal if this would display both the area of a vector object and the sum of all sides / circumference if its a circle. Thank you!

I just used this feature for the first time, it works great as long as you know the size of the artboard you need when you first create the document, which I did. Thank you!

We have released the support for Gradient swatches in CC library with our latest release - v29.3
You can select the gradient swatch in swatches panel and add it to CC Library through the button on the bottom bar in the panel. You can also select any object which has gradient applied and add that gradient to CC Library through Add Elements from the Libraries panel and choose Fill Gradient from the drop-down menu.
Please update to this version from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and let us know your feedback.

I swear this was possible in the first cloud based version of illustrator, the one that came out after CS6? Maybe this has been pending so long because they removed that functionality for some reason.
Is it possible to save a custom gradient in the default palette so that it persists in new documents and also documents that were created on a different system? I have a custom swatch palette which reappears in documents where I've added it before. but I have to open it every time I start a new document or open one sent to me by another creator.

The Eyedropper tool’s options can be configured to transfer arrowheads, which are treated as 'complex appearance'.
See comments for details.

Please do this!
I know it's possible to set one manually, but if there's a default one it will be the same on any computer.
EDIT - ****, just realised this was the iPad version, i get here from a google search.

This happens to me too.
If there is multiple objects inside of a rectangle with no fill and I attempt to select all the objects by dragging a box around them, then the rectangle is also selected IF my box goes around where the centre of the rectangle is. You know on the bounding box how there is a square in each corner and one in the middle? If you drag the box around where the middle square would be for the rectangle then it gets selected. I don't know what that middle square is even for.
I'm on Illustrator 25.0.1 for Mac and I am fairly confident that it still worked properly in v24.x.
Anyways, it's annoying having to do the extra step of deselecting the rectangle, but it's even more painful when you don't notice that theres an extra object selected and you make changes to it only to have to roll them back and deselect.
It's absurd to change such a fundamental behaviour which has existed since at LEAST CS5, but to change it and not have a setting to revert back, is unconscionable.
If I wanted the rectangle selected, i would simply drag the box slightly further to include it in the selection, it couldn't be any simpler. I can't imagine any scenario where this change in behaviour would save anyone a measurable abount of time or effort.

As per the comment, the random crop is caused by Enable Content Aware Defaults option in Preferences > General. Turn it off disable auto-suggesting weird crops.
As for the white lines, this a separate problem, now merged into separate report:

It's great that this tool can just create the coloured squares without the card and text parts.
Is it possible to make the tool automatically change to an eyedropper when you hover over the coloured squares. Essentially this makes them function just like a swatch in the toolbar.
I usually lock the Swatch Info Layer immediately so the swatches don't get included when dragging to select multiple objects. It might be useful to tie the automatic eyedropper tool change to the lock status of the layer, so you still get the expected behaviour when the layer is unlocked, but when it's locked you get the eyedropper when you hover over the swatches.
It has already been mentioned below, but I should be able to create swatch info with only one swatch selected AND from other swatch libraries, not just the default library.
