An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t say using AG Offset is harder than in Plasticity and Moi 3D... but I don’t use these professionally, and I don’t recall exactly how they do it now — but it’s easy to have only one offset AG’s tool — select and drag. If you had other values set previously, hitting a dedicated key while dragging should reset them, giving you that one offset...
But yeah, it is paid, I know.
Can you make a short GIF or a video to demo how Moi 3D handles it today, please? I doubt the Ai team uses Moi 3D.An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile you can use AG Offset tool that has all of this and more, from AstuteGraphics plugin pack. Super handy to use.

An error occurred while saving the comment I am almost sure the team believes it's an intended way to do this.
Changing the scaling of the asset / artboard won’t change the scaling of the resolution, since no resolution is written into these. The Export for Screens methods just don’t write it AT ALL — and never did. Exporting for SCREEN suggests the images will be used for screen purposes, and screens don’t really care about the resolution coefficient, since images get displayed AS IS, without fitting some number of pixels into an inch.If you wish to have resolution written, you should use the older Export As dialog, which deals with it and writes it.
So it’s hardly a bug, but rather a feature request — to make another export method that allows to have all benefits Export for Screens have compared with Export As, but also respecting print media, which cares about resolution. Do you agree? -

An error occurred while saving the comment K-O, I agree, I think the font weight and style is better to be chosen in a different manner altogether, without duplicating the dropdown ONE MORE TIME — we already have at least four places we can do that. I was thinking about B and I buttons, and to let Ai smartly pick and cycle through the possible styles...
However — can you please provide screenshots of the situation with the dropdown positions on screen, to clarify the problem to everybody?
An error occurred while saving the comment I think Flip operations should be visible for any selection, not just images. And I think we should be able to decide, which options we would like to see in the panel. And I think Ai should allow us to use ANY function it has there, even those existing in panels’ flyout menus (which today we can’t even automate with hotkeys!). Remember — a professional tool is a customizable tool.
An error occurred while saving the comment The bar does not follow the selection, when the bounding box is turned off. Bounding box should not influence the positioning of the bar. The connection makes little sense.
An error occurred while saving the comment Nick, I somewhat share the feeling towards it. And luckily we can disable it for now — with Window > Contextual Task Bar option.
However — what do you think the team can change to make it a) less atrocious, b) really useful? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Related to this report:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47307278An error occurred while saving the comment The gap between numbers/bullets and text is controlled be the Left / First Line Indent values, which can be changed in Options dialog — press little down arrow (it says 'See options') next to the Bullets or Numbered List buttons, then the three dots button ('More options').
These values behave like the normal indentation values you can edit in the Paragraph panel, and they are also not relative, but absolute. If you scale the text the way there is not enough space to fit a bullet or a number, it will jump to the doubled values, to the next tab position. Tabs are omitted in this method, and are controlled with the indentation itself.
This is not technically a bug, but I believe a way to scale indents with the text can be added.
I think you should log this as a feature request instead. Will you do this? -

An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment This probably happens because the assumed indent / tabulation position is exceeded with the two-digit list item... but instead of automatically adjusting the position of the first tab (like every other app with automated bullets does), it goes to the next default tab instead.

An error occurred while saving the comment Another way of making this, other than with a complex routine I described below, is to use a third-party plugin, AG Offset by Astute Graphics. It makes adding live offsets to objects a rather simple operation.
An error occurred while saving the comment Can you mockup a picture describing how it could look without breaking current paradigm? I seem to fail to imagine this.
An error occurred while saving the comment Well, it's quite possible to do now.
Here's a little tutorial how to do it:
https://imgur.com/a/rrOo5You create your strokes with different widths, group them, apply 'Outline stroke', make another group (see note below), then apply new fill to a second group and then applying Offset path to this fill.
Note: the only problem is that you can't make second group with only a group selected, but you can trick AI to do it, adding temp object, grouping it with a group and then deleting it.

An error occurred while saving the comment At the the same time I know there is a request to be able to add symbols into the text, like InDesign intentionally can:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32360128-in-line-graphics-anchor-object-to-text-ability
And this bug looks like Ai already CAN do that...Or is it the symbol with an arrow you demonstrate has a live text, which is a symbol font, that displays the arrow character?
An error occurred while saving the comment I have NO idea what is going on there.
Even with the video, even with the description... this is something very weird.
You copy and paste a text. When you do that, a SYMBOL (not a text symbol, but a symbol from Symbols panel) gets added INTO the text?! And it can be treated like a TEXT character?
Sorry, I do not get it at all. Can you please share the actual file — if this bug is still with you in the latest version? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Overprint preview forces Ai to turn off GPU preview.
Usually it’s not that a great difference (maybe it’s because I am used to CPU while GPU still feels faster)... i5 is a quite fast thing... It might be a document that you are editing.
Do all you documents behave the same way? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Maggie, can you please make a small video demonstrating this behavior?
Try to click the first time and then show how it fails the other time.Does it help to close and reopen the doc? To maximize or restore the window? move it?

An error occurred while saving the comment Matt, what happens, if you maximize the window with standard means, using the button in the top left corner?
Also — can you recall which version of Ai started to behave like this with Spectacle?
Have you tried other solutions other than Spectacle: https://alternativeto.net/software/spectacle/ (just to see if it’s Spectacle’s fault specifically).
You said 'every other' program, but does the same happens with Photoshop? InDesign? Other Adobe apps?At Windows, I have a similar app. It works with most of the apps, but poorly with Micrsoft-built ones, so this is somewhat similar. I believe it depends on how Spectalce is doing the resizing, and how Illustrator is maintaining it.

The solution is to actually click the Terms of Use link the dialog offers you ( and at least TRY to read them). When you click the link, the Accept button starts working.
An error occurred while saving the comment The solution is to try and read the terms.
Seriously, we should strike deals more carefully. Reading these terms is hardly longer than watching a video offered in the comment about basically hacking the app and actually setting up the firewall rule. Just open the terms at least, just try even.An error occurred while saving the comment You have to click the 'Terms of Use' link first — and read them, as the message suggests, to the end. Otherwise how can you agree with terms? :)
The secret is to scroll the opened page till the very end.
No, I don’t think it’s a good UX, but it’s how it’s programmed. -

An error occurred while saving the comment The problem with that input is that the space to the right of it is used to display the name of the asset/artboard you’ll get, when you hover over formats’ controls — take a look at the screenshot attached. But yeah, it makes little sense... we need the team to redesign this window to allow to display all the data untruncated. The prefix is as much as important as dynamic postfixes.

An error occurred while saving the comment Recently the team 'fixed' an ancient bug with dropping hyperlinks in PDF — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40418827. The solution is nowhere final, done in the most basic way possible, merely a bug fixed, like if no-one in the team did try to make it useful at the level of today's standards.
— A partial text selection can't be made into a hyperlink.
— No widgets are given on the canvas to see if an object has a hyperlink assigned or not, and to open the link directly from the canvas (with or without a modifier).
— Attributes gives no way to jump to a previous/next hyperlink in the document.
— The 'browser' button uses the IE browser, not the assigned one at the OS level.
— If I cover an object which has a hyperlink assigned, with another object that has another hyperlink, the area they shared together is overtaken by the one which is below, and not according to their z-order (see the GIF — the intersection area should display 'orange', not 'green'!)
— 'Polygon' image map option does not work, the object gets a rectangle area still. The sacred knowledge about creating polygonal image maps in Ai is long lost, and the only mention the official manual has about it is here (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/slices-image-maps.html) — but it never actually tells how to create these. Surely not via rectangular-only slices. It should just happen automatically, and it does not.
— What about automation? To have the links to be auto-tagged, like this solution for InD does (https://www.id-extras.com/products/hyperlinkpro/)?
— What about auto styling, like InD provides?
— Will we be able to fine tune the look of the Character’s 'Underline' option? Nobody places lines this close to text anymore on web.So yes, this should be made BETTER.
An error occurred while saving the comment It is possible to workaround this, using Attributes panel: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/whats-new/2023-5.html#pdf-hyperlinks
But obviously this method is hardly suited for text, and require making a fake dummy areas above the text.
So sure — voted. -

Hi Everyone,
This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1.
Hyperlinks added through Attributes panel are retained while exporting as PDF.
Read more about this - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/whats-new/2023-5.html#pdf-hyperlinks
Thank you for all the feedback.
An error occurred while saving the comment The method Dan described below is the only way currently to create text hyperlinks directly in Ai.
And this method is a torture, let’s admit it. I can hardly call this request 'Completed' — the team just merely fixed a bug with the ancient tech.
There is another request here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47303807 — for an ability to make NORMAL hyperlinked text, in the modern way, the way almost any editor can do. Please come and upvote it.An error occurred while saving the comment Some proper conversion options should be made as well, like here:

An error occurred while saving the comment It seems like you are using an old Beta build that has some troubles with connecting to servers now.
Can you please force-check updates in your Creative Cloud Desktop app and update the Beta, to see if it changes anything?An error occurred while saving the comment The team asks you relaunch Ai and try again. When you do, please record trying to uses a mockup from the very beginning it on video and then share the recording here — this will help to start investigation.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, five minutes is just way too much :( It was 45 seconds for me.
In this build the team decided to package the mockup engine in an on-demand module, the same way Photoshop does with neural filters, to save the bandwidth for the company and the users, and to download it only when users tries to use it. Something does not seem to work correctly.
Do you have anything peculiar set up, firewalls, traffic control apps, anything?An error occurred while saving the comment You should wait until Ai finishes downloading the package required for the feature — 'Adding Ai model' is a progress bar, and eventually it should progress. How much time did you wait?
Lee, can you share files that were getting smaller alright in the previous versions, but do not do it this one (which is the one, by the way? 27.9?)
You can share them here, if you are OK with making these public, or you can send them to sharewithai@adobe.com — in this case please also put the link to this report so the team can track the issue (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47311145)
