An error occurred while saving the comment Treat those in Document Setup as 'local' units. You can also choose them by clicking with the right mouse button at the intersection of rulers.
These are responsible for all ruler-nased sizes in a document — dimensions, coordinates, grids... They are more important.Those defined in Preferences are 'global' units. These force the units across all documents once changed. Try to create a Print-based doc, and a Web-based doc (they use 'mm' (if you are not i US) and 'px').
If you change 'global' general units in Preferences to 'mm', you will get your rulers switched to local 'mm' in all opened documents.
If you change them again to 'px' — all your docs will get 'px' as local units.
But changing these only in Document Setup (locally) won’t change other opened documents.
This is a fairly obscured behaviour, I agree! But once you learn it, it makes sense. Ai just never cared to explain it properly (and I learn it by chance myself).
Does it make sense for you?

Units in Preferences and Document Setup?

An error occurred while saving the comment So true :( And so little votes.
Unfortunately , the only workaround I can offer is to drag object inside of a clipping mask by path and use Cmd/Ctrl modifier to enable 'Snap to Cursor Position' mode.Please reply back if it helps at all.

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed it does.
Even with 'Use Preview Bounds on', even with Outline Stroke effect applied...
I guess the only workaround for this now would be to expand the stroke first, since you are going to rasterize it anyway.Thanks for reporting this.

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. 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.
An error occurred while saving the comment The screenshot obviously has only the path selected and not the photo with it, because the bounding box surrounds only the path.
You have to select both object for the clipping to work — otherwise Illustrator won’t understand what exactly do you want to clip with what path.

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed it does! To my defense I can say I tried to expand stroke, while the test document has brushes applied to all lines, and not exactly simple strokes, which are considered to be a basic apperance.
But I can offer you a workaround for that — just isolate your single path and you will be able to expand appearance only for this path only.
An error occurred while saving the comment Diane, thanks for the report and the update — it really makes it clear.
So, this is indeed an expected and intended behaviour. When you apply the appearance to a whole layer, it acts as a container for the stuff inside and dictates the style for them.Sure, if you pick only one thing from a 'decorated box', it won’t know anything about the decoration of the box...
The other problem, with the expanding stroke, is strange. It should not expand at all, since it does not have the appearance — if it’s the same styled layer problem from above.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you share a simple test file with art objects that behave that drastically different?
You can share them here if you are allowed to, or send privately over sharewithai@adobe.comThis is not normal behaviour, so it’s either machine or document specific problem. Please provide your full OS specs, including GPU and memory details.

An error occurred while saving the comment 'Can not change' — does it mean the dropdown list is disabled and you can’t click it?
Or you are able to choose the 'English: USA' option, but it gets reverted back as soon as you choose it?
Or it is chosen, but gets reverted back when you make a change to a text?
Or something else entirely?Does it happen in this document only?
What about previously created files?
What about a completely new file, based on one of the standart Illustrator’s document profiles, like Print?Have you tried to reset Preferences? (here is a good instruction how to do that — https://astutegraphics.com/support/tutorials-and-troubleshooting/resetting-illustrator-preferences)

An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps you might want to vote for this request instead?
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44104935-absolute-mode-that-always-sets-a-fill-a-single-cli
It is about a CorelDraw-like approach with a left-click setting the fill and right-click setting the stroke:Your solution feels clumsy, to be honest, it requires precise clicking, muddies swathes’ colors, creates annoying moiré. But I dig the cause!

An error occurred while saving the comment Have you tried to reset preferences? (here is a nice instruction on this: https://astutegraphics.com/support/tutorials-and-troubleshooting/resetting-illustrator-preferences)
If it does not work — can you try to reinstall it?When did it start to happen?
Did you install any plugins recently?
Do any other dialog get opened, except for Save? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a way to workaround this:
1. Show All
2. Start Global Edit
3. Hide Selection
4. Show All
Works also with Lock instead of Hide.
Unfortunately, requires nothing useful hidden and locked for it to work.I thought about a simpler trick, with Global Edit, Delete, Undo, but it does not work for this... but it works as intended, really, dropping a Global Edit mode on undo would be a not healthy thing!
And this means there is a way for a script to do this job. Will see how it goes.
An error occurred while saving the comment There should be also a way to convert these pseudo-symbols into real symbols: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35768314

An error occurred while saving the comment Please also add caption to this command. It's quite difficult to notice at Control panel.
Also, just give us a way to add captions to any command there. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Curtis, can you please check the Align panel’s menu and see if you have any of two options for Align to Glyph Bounds checked. Try to toggle them, compare results and comment back.
It'd be nice to have a test file of yours also. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, not I can see what’s the problem, thanks for the clarifications once more.
Indeed, Arc Upper / Lower skew all vertical lines of the text! If you show guides in the original document, it becomes clear.That's why I personally use this method instead — please check the file attached. The text has the Bulge effect applied to it, which does not skew vertical lines. But since Bulge pushes out both sides, I trick it with adding an auxiliary copy of the text with Transform effect and excluding it— check the Appearance panel to see the stack.
There are several problem with this solution.
First, it’s crazy. You have to know how Appearance work to conjure it up... Once saved as a graphic style though, it’s pretty easy to handle.
Second one, all vertical lines are shifted. The larger is bulge value, the more stretched the middle becomes, so it's just changes one problem with another.
Third problem — it’s overshoots of the C. It goes below the baseline and above the cap height line, to compensate the curved glyph visually, but all warps can’t ignore it by design. That's why the top line is not horizontal. To work around that you can use a no-fill-no-stroke container, which are larger than the text. I put one on baseline, make it twice as tall as the text, then enlarge it a bit more, group all together and then bulge — no Transform magic is required then.
Anyway, yeah, warp effect and warp envelopes need some attention. Voted!

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, this dialog is a shame.
Perhaps you might want to try Stylism by Astute Graphics, which gives this effect nice on-canvas controls. Sure, you won’t be able to make smooth points, like you show in the mockup, but worth trying.
For anything more complex than a four straight point we have Envelope Distort and free MeshTormentor plugin to make custom meshes with an ease.

An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile there is a Stylism plugin form AstuteGraphics that gives so much to this effect! Including all types of snap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1PcomIcl3Q

An error occurred while saving the comment You can, but no with a button but with the panel’s flyout menu (three lines in the top right corner).
I agree that these should be moved in the panel itself.
Also notice that they do exist in the Properties panel in the Transform block.
Yes, Lewis, I do agree with the comment. This is bonkers and I hope got have it at least clarified in the app. Thanks for raising this issues, because I just had no time to log it myself! Hope there would be others to upvote this.
