An error occurred while saving the comment There are few similar requests like this one, different enough to stay as separate entries — perhaps you’d like to upvote them:
1. Consistent Keyboard Shortcuts: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39880372
2. Unify the design language of UI and UX across all Adobe products: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34605112

Eurotunnel is a funny thing! And when a whole country is built around certain driving rules... I don’t mean it’s no possible to change the side people drive (cases exist), it’s just never easy.I understand your sarcasm, and I share some of the notions myself.
They apply both ways: I like some things Photoshop does better, and some things Ai nailed (and some thing both do very poorly).
But you can’t unite American English and British English back together. And Ps and Ai were never even siblings. Count them as cousins. Or better as employees in a uniform. Actually, I think metaphors makes it worse.But people learn different languages and embrace different cultures all the time. Don’t deny us the ability to learn a new program.
An error occurred while saving the comment Consistency for the sake of consistency is a dangerous idea.
If you change a default behavior (either from Ai or Ps side), an army of users who know how it works will get very mad. More mad than any user can be who comes from Ps and learns how a tool in Ai works.Despite Ps and Ai (and InD and AE) look very similar, they are very much different, come from different sources, teams, backgrounds...
Eraser in Ai works like this, probably because it follows the way Line works in Ai, or any other tool that creates a shape here.
Eraser in Ps works like this, probably because it follows the way Brush work in Ps.Ai deals with objects.
Ps deals with pixels.There are many requests here at UV to make Ai looks like InDesign (from those who learnt InD first), or Corel Draw (from those who came in Ai from there), or like Figma (there are pretty new in general), or anything else...
It never does get solved by mimicking... It gets solved by learning and training one’s mind.However, requests like yours are still important — so thank you for not being silent and requesting it.
These help to make the team to be aware of the paradigms shifting and to adapt Ai to those that are important. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jon, there are 5 types of brushes in Illustrator:
calligraphic, scatter, art, bristle, pattern.
2 of them do not support and never supported dashes: calligraphic and bristle.
They are just designed for different purposes.The brush tip you show in your screenshot is a calligraphic '5 pt. Round' brush (that’s why Stroke panel says 1 pt, but the displayed weight is 5 pt)
To see the dashes, you’d have to remove the brush tip from the path. You can do it from the Brushes panel ('Remove Brush Stroke' button), or from the same looking controls in other panels, like Appearance or Control.This is not an uncommon topic.
Here are some posts (all three from Reddit):
https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/slmj4o/can_i_make_brush_strokes_dashed/
https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1bvs35p/bug_brushed_paths_cannot_have_dashed_lines/
https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/xcrsly/apply_artpattern_brushes_to_calligraphy_strokes/Instead of closing this one as Rejected, I will convert it into a feature request.
I won’t hold my fingers even on it, but perhaps it will help to guide some users and gather more feedback.
Thanks for the report.An error occurred while saving the comment Jon, you probable made a mistake... you say both 'can' and 'cannot' for Pen Tool paths... perhaps you meant 'Brush Tool' in one of the cases?

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I get it. Sure, having so many copies of the same image can bloat a file... Illustrator sadly don’t store copies of the same embedded image as instances. Or did you have it as a placed image?
And I prefer to disable the PDF-compatibility option myself, so not questions here.
As for the file — alas, only to recreate anew. Good luck and have patience (the most precious trait when working with Illustrator).An error occurred while saving the comment I am afraid the file got corrupted :( Illustrator can’t recognize it as a valid document and treats as text, I assume...
That’s a LARGE size for an Ai document! I have no idea what happened to it, but the larger the document is, the more chances for the saving process to go wrong :( Sorry, I am afraid it can’t be fixed...
If you used PDF Compatibility option (it is enabled by default), perhaps you can try to rename it to .pdf from .ai and use the PDF content to recover at least something? Try Acrobat and then resave the file (if it reads it) and then try to import it into Ai. -

Hi,
Thank you all for reporting this issue and providing us your valuable feedback.
Kindly help Illustrator Team to nail this issue down further:
1)Kindly provide video ,Test Steps or File via File→Package with which you are still facing this issue and share with us at ShareWithAI@adobe.com in a Zip file. Please mention the title of this issue as the subject of the mail.Please remember to update graphic driver. We are also seeing cases where updating graphic card driver fixes the issue. You can update your driver via https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-gpu-performance-driver-update.html .
Thanks and Regards

Illustrator TeamAn error occurred while saving the comment Enisio, while your guess is valid, it does not add much to the problem solving....
Does THIS particular problem happens for you (I suppose it does, since you voted)? Have you created and shared the test file? Did you record a video, as request by the team? Did you provided the details for your graphic driver and OS in general?
Please do. Nothing less than this won’t really help.Just in case, so that you know (and as far as I know) — Home Screen is made by a dedicated team, across all the apps in CCD, at the same time. You can imagine what limitations this impose... CEP or not — it’s easier to make it work as it is, as a separate addition, than to maintain numerous injections.

An error occurred while saving the comment So you mean that if you grab a JPEG that gets placed fine, rename it to a .JPG, Ai throws this error?
Can you please share an example of such a file, please?
Just in case also: what is your OS specifically and the Ai build you are using? Does it matter if you place it in an RGB or a CMYK doc? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Strange to say it, but I don’t understand the problem you are having. Outline Stroke effect behaves the way I expect it to, depending on where I place it: post-stack, pre-stack, or within-stack...
Can you share some examples? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, this is a known problem :( The same occasionally happens with all the tip messages like this, like Mockup one.
Looking at you screenshot I can see you are using UI scaling, correct? Can you please try to go to Preferences > User Interface, and temporarily move the UI Scaling slider to the very left? Also you might want to check your OS scaling parameter (right-click on the desktop, Display Settings).
Does changing these help to workaround the problem? -

The second artboard is not a bug, but a specifically designed behavior for later import to AfterEffects. It gives AE enough room to avoid clipping of the layer content to the main artboard size (basically a dummy for a pasteboard).
Here is a quote from The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book (found here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/146842/huge-unwanted-artboard-created-by-default-in-adobe-illustrator-cc-2020):
Тo create a composition to import into After Effects, use the Video & Film Document Profile (Film & Video in CC). This creates two artboards — one large artboard that serves as a "scratch" area for objects used later in AE, and one sized for your chosen video format.
An error occurred while saving the comment Not new however. I checked several older versions, and this happens in all CC builds, as well as CS6 — but not in CS4, although it had artboards as a thing already. So it’s either from CS5 or CS6.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh! Anton, try to JUST create a doc using this preset and check the Artboards before you create anything.
Try HDV 720 instead. Try Cineon Half, or any other template that uses Film & Video document profile... all of them will have this giant second artboard from the get go.
Document profiles should not maintain any artboards within... and if we check the actual file, Film & Video.ai, it won’t have anything like it in it.That’s definitely a bug. Thanks for the report!
I am fixing the title of it and will try to let the team know faster.An error occurred while saving the comment Anton, still can’t replicate this. Does it always behave like this for you?
Can you please try to reproduce it from the scratch, using a brand new doc, and something simple to draw it beyond the first artboard?
If you catch it on video, it’d be even more helpful. If it’s a fresh bug, catching it right here and now would add more chances to fix it while it’s hot.An error occurred while saving the comment What is the size of this artboard?
What build are you using? -

We have started working on fixing this one.
An error occurred while saving the comment Agree on all of these.
Why it matters to me specifically.
1. Boundaries for me are the part of composition. When we pan to shift our viewport, we orient on these boundaries, to pick a proper portion of the artwork. Without boundaries visible, we can’t properly orient. It’s like when you try to sit on a sofa, but in an instant you stop seeing its edges... or a cat sitting on it. No-one wishes to sit on a cat.
2. Grids or guides. We choose to display or hide these on our own. When Ai decides this on its own, we feel less in control. When somethings blinks on its own — it’s probably broken, like a faulty lamp. People don’t like using broken tools.
3. We don’t treat 'panning' and 'zooming' as states. We just navigate the canvas, observing the document. When we see popping, it ruins the illusion of integrity. The same problem as with popping in videogames.
4. It worked before, but now it doesn’t. It’s easier to notice a flaw (instantly visible) than a benefit this recent pan/zoom improvement (which caused this trade-off) brings — that’s how people work evolutionary. Pretending it does not work like this is like spitting against the wind :)An error occurred while saving the comment Cameron, this is a known limitation, caused by a recently added method of boosting the speed of zooming and panning while in GPU Preview mode. Artboards edges, along with grids and guides, are considered as 'annotations' by the engine, and have to be temporarily disabled while contents of the document gets streamed while panning and zooming.
This is important for me, and I hope it is for others. It should definitely upvoted more to persuade the team to improve it further. The team is aware, but more votes always count.
Thanks for sharing!

An error occurred while saving the comment Sabhia, these are three separate requests.
Each one already exists here at UV:
1. More effects: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/41694733
2. More brushes: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/41682511 (partially completed, but still open for voting)
3. EPS format: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931888/suggestions/42134278
UserVoice does not allow to split requests, so please upvote each one manually.
And since your main request was about effects, I am merging it into #1.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. Perhaps it’s because of the translation, but these seems similar to me... both report the lower quality of the shadows rendered.
Since the previous one was never reported to be fixed intentionally, it makes sense to join these. A majority of the votes are still added to a newer one, so it does not make a weight difference anyway.
On other words, having a separate older report does not help :)An error occurred while saving the comment @monokano, @Ten_A, would you mind me merging these two together?

An error occurred while saving the comment Neal, the problem with the font list jumping at the top, to the recent section, is a known one, and is reported separately — please upvote it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33466396
To workaround it now, you can go to Preferences > Type, and set 0 for Number of Recent Fonts.
Please comment back if it helps (and especially if it doesn’t!)An error occurred while saving the comment Related, but not similar, to this request:
"Stop installing foreign fonts I don't need"
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33784219An error occurred while saving the comment This is interesting.
I suppose when you search a font, the hidden font should be displayed in searched results, but marked as hidden, with a possibility to unhide it back right from the search results, right?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. Works fine for me.
How large is your artboard? Can you repeat this in a brand new document, size Letter of A4, with a default symbol?
Do you sprayed symbols match the size of an instance of the same symbols you just drag-n-drop from the Symbols panel?
To be correct, increasing the diameter of the Symbol Sprayer tool does not increase the size of the sprayed symbols, — it just makes the area these get sprayed into larger.I often refer to this article from 2011m which explains the tool better than the native reference: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/09/an-in-depth-study-of-symbols-in-illustrator-cs5/
The team informs the engine for Save As SVG generation changed — from no on it is going to be the the same one SVG Export uses.
This may indeed result in a few changes like the list you mentioned.
That said, the output should still be visually correct. Any options provided via scripting should also be used as before though.
