An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Well, it means then the optical kerning is relative to the objects’ text sizes then... I had this discovery made in similar conditions, and I decided never leave live text in logos after that (and all my files after that with logos have the original and the fully outlined-expanded versions next to each other).
I wonder why though... -

An error occurred while saving the comment Dave, I changed my mind on the quality of helpx pages through these years. They become less and less useful and more and more truncated.
The team was notified on the topic and I hope them agreeing something is off would bear fruit.
Please share this report among those who are troubled with the same thing — we need their votes to make it more important. Teacher, educators, enthusiasts...AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Dave, a manual is sort of there already.
There is the Discover panel, which is basically a browser window with some search and in-app highlighting, and there is the site it picks data from, helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/
I can’t say these are perfect (cause I know they are not) — but maybe a little more details, please? What is that you think is not covered well enough by it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Enny, das ist kein Fehler, sondern eine direkte Folge der Standardeinstellungen, die du ändern kannst. Klicke im Dialogfeld „Für Bildschirm exportieren“ auf die Schaltfläche „Erweiterte Einstellungen für exportierte Dateitypen“ (das Zahnradsymbol). Wähle im nächsten Dialogfeld „Formateinstellungen“ AI aus und aktiviere die Option „PDF-kompatible Datei erstellen“. Dadurch sind alle deine mit dieser Methode exportierten .ai-Dateien mit InDesign und Photoshop kompatibel.
Bitte gib uns Bescheid, ob es geholfen hat (oder nicht). -

An error occurred while saving the comment Huh... did you make a screenshot of the thing? Can you recall what were you doing when it asked you about this?

Allow to change color & width of border / edges for artboards (all and active)

Is this enough?

An error occurred while saving the comment This should be re-addrressed, I agree. Slight darkening of the artboard's edge is not enough to notice.

Starting with Beta 29.9.0.36 it’s now possible to lock the objects on artboard basis from the Artboards panel, using a new Lock column, similar to one the Layers panel has.
How it works:
- In the Artboards panel, select one or more artboards and click Lock.
- All objects on those artboards lock automatically.
- To edit a specific object, simply unlock it from the Layers panel.
Give it a try and let us know what you think. Your feedback helps the team to shape what comes next.
An error occurred while saving the comment I’m still missing an ability to deactivate artboards. Not hide with their contents, but turn off the frame (unless I hover in the panel, perhaps), exclude from defining the paste coordinates, from Zoom into Artboard, from Next Artboard... I want to activate these artboards later, for export purposes, but don’t interfere with me navigating the canvas.
An error occurred while saving the comment There are several similar requests:
1. Layer Comps, similar to what Photoshop does, requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32923834 (and the comments there offer several plugin solutions)
2. Artboard-specific Layers ('Layers per Artboard'), requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31133392
Which one do you mean? Or do you mean something else entirely, perhaps filtering like InDesign does?
And welcome to UserVoice!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Andreas, Nicht ganz. Diese Schaltflächen mit Pfeilen im Attributfenster dienen dazu, die Richtung von Pfaden in zusammengesetzten Pfaden zu steuern (und zwar ausschließlich mit der Regel „Nicht-Null-Windungsfüllung“). Sie waren nie dafür gedacht, einzelne Pfade wie in Ihren Screenshots zu steuern, und sind deaktiviert, solange Sie keinen zusammengesetzten Pfad oder einen darin enthaltenen Pfad auswählen.
Die Schaltflächen funktionieren mit den Tooltips nicht optimal, und eine Hilfeseite, die Benutzern die Funktionsweise erklärt, fehlt leider.Um die Pfadrichtung tatsächlich umzukehren, gibt es seit Kurzem den Befehl „Objekt > Pfad > Pfadrichtung umkehren“.
Obwohl dies möglich ist, bleibt der „Pfeilspitzen-Trick“ eine schnelle Methode, um den Startpunkt und die Richtung eines Pfades anzuzeigen (anders als in Affinity, wo dies mit einer kleinen Markierung geschieht).
Deshalb habe ich diese Anfrage vor drei Jahren gestellt: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46659355
Würden Sie etwas dagegen haben, wenn ich Ihre Anfrage hier einfüge, oder meinen Sie etwas ganz anderes?

An error occurred while saving the comment Leigh, I’m told the engineering team is investigating this is planning to reach the Typeface team to discuss it further. Fingers crossed!
An error occurred while saving the comment It’d require both of them, Adobe and the Typeface team working together, I believe... let’s start with the 'have broken' — how? What goes wrong and how exactly?
The Ai team would need all the information you can provide to start investigating. I’d advise writing the other team too, to make them aware. -

An error occurred while saving the comment It’s odd indeed.
Grayscale in CMYK documents behaves as K channel (and it says 'K' in the Color panel).
So K = 100 equals CMYK 0,0,0,100
Make sense.But in an RGB doc... here, in the attached document I have two gradients in the leftmost column.
Both say that ARE in grayscale when I look in Color mode.
Both are Classic.
All 4 gradient stops say K0 or K100.
But if I select these both — the fill differ, and the looks obviously differ.One is rectangle copied from a CMYK doc, another is naturally born RGB one.
A mess. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. I do recall having Sharpen in the Effect > Photoshop Effects! That is Unsharp Mask (which is a proper term for an advanced sharpening algorithm, a well-known one — it’s not 'internal', it’s the NAME of it). At least CS4 had it — screenshots attached.
Thanks for the request! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mikael, I never asked you about the specs.
What is your OS (still a Mac, I presume)? What is the version of your OS? What is your screen size? The scaling (both OS and Ai)? What is your GPU and the driver version?I had smeared grids once, I do recall, but today they look like 1 px dots for me, no blur... well, the minor ticks are — major are two dots diagonally, so the 'lines' are shifted 1 px.

An error occurred while saving the comment Gladly, but I’m missing the instructions here... I don’t see emails you send to the team. I know they had the intention to try to reproduce it, but haven’t had any news on this yet.
When I myself try it straightforwardly, with the settings I usually use (export as, no artboards, internal CC, decimal 5, no minify, but responsive), I get no problems — the background gets baked fine, and it gets displayed in various viewers as expected: Chromiums, Firefox, IE, Safari browsers, Inkscape, Ai itself, Affinity, viewers...
I’m missing the broken SVG and the settings :)Pinged the team once more.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the reminder. Not that I know of... If the team got the email you send I asked about — could be. I asked them to check. Did you send anything? Did you use the same email you use here at UV?
An error occurred while saving the comment These forums are managed by the third-party company, and they provide their services not only to Adobe, but other companies as well. These don’t have replies, all comments are just go under another, no branching. But I read all of these anyway :)
Plus, occasionally, UserVoice deletes attachments (I have no idea on what basis!)
Please send this archive directly to the team, via sharewithai@adobe.com — this inbox is constantly monitored.
Also, please mention the link to this report for backtracking, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51137227An error occurred while saving the comment Ken, not sure I can reproduce this, even with the file...
Please tell more about the settings you use when you produce an SVG: do you use Save As or Export As method, or perhaps Save for Screens? These all differ a bit. What options exactly do you set? When you say 'subsequent' — do you mean you keep working with the original file, or do you import a previously created SVG back and try to make changes? Kindly assist with the exact steps one can follow to catch the bug. -

An error occurred while saving the comment It’d be great for the Ctrl+Enter to work in this New Swatch / Swatch Options dialog, to proportionally change the color according to the changed value instead of this bug... but it just doesn’t do anything (including just blatantly closing the dialog)...

It’s confirmed it’s intentional. Both shape (outline) and size of characters define what the visible/optical kerning should be. The purpose of Optical kerning is to make make sure the text looks legible and balanced when there’s no kerning data in the font (in 2003, when it got released, the font quality was far from being perfect), or for times when existing data had to be bypassed. But calculated pairs scale with font size, because the legibility changes with font size.
This won’t be changed most probably.
I think what can be done is some sort of 'baking in' the calculated pairs for a specific font size as manual kerning values. There is no automated way to do it, but perhaps a script can look into these...
