An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, the 'more stops' method indeed just shifts the transition. And if you mix two spots, you get two of grayish bands :) But in some cases having a band in the other place rather than in a middle can be enough to hide the fact — especially together with the second 'overprint' method used.
Glad you figured it out and it works for you!
Please also note that Pantones are different. Some inks are more opaque than others, so you should always test these and consult with printing shops before printing a large batch.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment I see exactly what you mean, but it’s never this simple.
When you use spot colors (which are separate inks, especially in gradients), it is implied that we know what we do and are responsible for the final output. Mixing CMYK with spots is never an easy task for any print shop — just because of the physics of the color you are witnessing.If you check Separations Preview panel, and toggle CMYK composite and used spot channels, you will see Illustrator plays fair: inks gets blended into zero, cross-fading into each other. There is no automated trickery that can suit any case, it all relies on our perception and the task we are having.
Sometimes we can make a darker color to be overprinted and shift the transition slightly, to make the top ink cover the bottom one slightly, and setup both separately. Won’t really work if both colors have the same luminosity.
A safer solution would be to introduce intermediate stops into the gradient.
You can do this manually, or with help of auxiliary tools, like Gradient Blender script by Sergey Osokin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3FG0g5yDm8).There is a also separate request for different blending methods for gradients: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45171784-lch-gradients
If you wish, I can merge this one into it. -

You can do it by holding Shift while using the Eyedropper tool
An error occurred while saving the comment A more automated way to derive strokes from fill is possible thanks to the free StrokeColorFromFill script by Sergey Osokin: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#strokecolorfromfill
It allows to set the same color, or make it darker/lighter. Can save a ton of time. -

An error occurred while saving the comment One way to solve this today is a script by Sergey Osokin, Export selection as AI: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Export.md#export-selection-as-ai
Does exactly what the request is about, but using a separate dialog, not from the Export for Screens dialog.
Won’t handle EPS and TIFF, won’t deal with assets.

An error occurred while saving the comment I would prefer 'Save artboards as separate AI' command or option, without messing with Asset Export.
And I think I saw a dedicated script for that. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Another solution that we have an access to — free SplitPath script by Sergey Osokin: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Path.md#splitpath
It uses a clever way to utilize Live Paint to do the work, and automatically removes unneeded pieces, subtracting from lines or intersecting with them.An error occurred while saving the comment Almost the same as https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39762262

An error occurred while saving the comment And we have a beautiful script to do this in Illustrator, SetPointsCoordinates: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Path.md#setpointscoordinates
It allows to set absolute coordinates for a selection of points (and set relative distances as well), using both global and artboard coordinates. The script is free.The other solution — powerful PathScribe panel, that had this function for many years, along with dozens and dozens and dozens more. The plugin is paid, but worth it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t say I am extremely happy with the way InDesign does it, but yes, I’d rather much prefer to treat the common center of a partial selection when changing coordinates.

An error occurred while saving the comment And while the team still thinks if the idea worth implementing, Sergey Osokin finished his free SwapObjects script: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#swapobjects
Has useful options, quite handy, I use it all the time.The other viable option — paid ArtSwitcher plugin panel by Astute Graphics. Support more objects than two in a selection, has fitting options, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FmCyJ2szk
An error occurred while saving the comment Allen, there is a script to help you with swapping fills and strokes
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#cyclecolors
Also check out his other color-related scripts at that page.He also has a script to Swap Objects, but I believe it’s not exactly completed, so it’s not published yet.

As per the comment, these are available by enabling the East Asian options in Text Preferences: Kinsoku Set and Mojikumi Set. Please reply if it solves this for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment True. A lot of things are immune to Constrain Angle, even the most basic ones, like Line Tool: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/40166017-line-tool-is-immune-to-the-constrain-angle

The issue is believed to be fixed with Photoshop release 25.7.
Please test it and comment back if it now works.
An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry, Daniel, this is as much as I can do :(
The fact that the problem persists with older versions could probably mean it’s not these two, but something got changed with the OS handling it.An error occurred while saving the comment Weird... I checked this on my Windows 10 machine, and this still works, no matter which kind of art I grab...
Do you still have access to previous builds? Can you check if an older Ai version has problems with it? In this case in can be anyone’s fault: Ai, Ps, or even OS, so I hope it can help to figure it out. -

An error occurred while saving the comment This should be a native option, sure, but today we can use a free script by Sergey Osokin, SortLayerItems, to do that:
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Layer.md#sortlayeritems
Works like a clock! I wish you posted this sooner, because sorting these manually is ...ugh! Hope this helps, and thanks for the request!An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean reordering layers themselves, or sorting objects within layers?

An error occurred while saving the comment Even though Illustrator uses double float format to store coordinates for points and objects, documents we create are still based on PostScript, and it uses points (based on inches). Even if we use millimeters as units (and I do as well!), these get recalculated. This leads to rounding errors — and this is my guess why it happens :(
I had to give up on using arrow keys mostly, because they work bad with Snap to Grid enabled... I use Move dialog, and become very efficient with it.
But it’s a workaround, and even though I am fast, having working keys instead would be much better! Thank you so much for the report.

This feature request is completed and it is available in Illustrator 28.0 and above.
An error occurred while saving the comment @C, I see what you mean, I struggle with the same problem, and I really doubt Illustrator can SELECT the file in the Finder / Explorer... I bet it’s something outside of its capabilities and both OS don’t really offer an integration like this.
But Ai can definitely allow to copy the name of the link...

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a way to toggle this, by assigning 0 to the /createLiveShapes flag in the Adobe Illustrator Prefs

Illustrator does not save backup files as actual files, like some other apps do. Instead, it streams backup data constantly, utilizing brief moments when user don’t perform any actions. The data is stored internally, and gets recovered only when Ai crashes (but sadly, only once now, so if Ai instantly crashes the second time, the data is lost).
Cloud saving works differently. It uses a more modern format and operates with chunks, and the streaming is even more effective.
So what happened exactly? Did you lost a document you’ve been working on for 8 hours without saving?
Or do you just wonder where you can find a backup file (which does not exist)?
