An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Do you refer to an ability to detect pressure while drawing with a pen and apply it as width profile?
Something like DynamicSketch and InkFlow tools from Astute Graphics can do? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mateo, what do you mean specifically by the 'expand' here, I wonder? Offset perhaps?

An error occurred while saving the comment Hiranthini, this place is not a general educational portal :)
You have to learn general techniques by yourself or with a teacher.
Start with a basic search in YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=illustrator+clipping+maskAn error occurred while saving the comment Here is the documents with two artboards.
Each one has an example of your image with a round hole in the middle, using methods I described below.These are the basic operations, and I advise you to learn clipping and transparency routines, they help a lot in creative process:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/clipping-masks.html
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/transparency-blending-modes.htmlAn error occurred while saving the comment So basically what you want to have is Draw Outside mode, is that correct?
So fat there are two ways to do that.
1. First Subtract (using Pathfinder panel) your circle from a rectangle, larger than your image, and then clip your background using this rectangle with a round hole in it — select both the image and the shape and use Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
2. Fill your circle with black (since you are working in CMYK, use rich black, or even registration swath to fill it), then select both image and the circle, open Transparency panel and press Make Mask button. Make sure you have both Clip and Invert Mask options unchecked in this panel.
Sure, these are workarounds, but quite effective ones.
Please comment back if it works for you.

What does the 'background for edges' mean?
Can you show an example, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Kit, clip the image first, then rasterize it again, before using Object Mosaic.
Plus you can crop an embedded image directly in Illustrator (although it’s kinda wonky) — try Crop Image button in the Control Panel (or Object > Crop Image command, it’s the same thing).AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Kit, it’s an interesting request actually!
With QR codes currently I utilize the existing Object > Create Object Mosaic command. The tricky thing is to crop it (clip and rasterize solves its) and then count how many squares a code has (for some reason the dialog has no Preview option (therefore this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48661520). Then I just Recolor it into strict black-and-white (it takes some times to set up a preset to do it fast), or isolate the result and use Magic Wand to select almost-blacks and remove almost-whites.Here is a related request about creating these directly in Ai:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20556163
...but I recall only one plugin that was able to read codes (EAN-13 specifically) directly within Ai. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I agree with Object Mosaic Preview, but I can’t understand the difference between 'normal Preview' and 'Live Preview' for Transform Effect (and I suppose to Transform Each dialog as well). What do you mean with 'Live'?
Please explain the difference. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Simon, there are two ways of achieving this I am aware of:
1. Offset method to find the center. Clearly explained in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSI-YN6sCM
To force any arc-like path into a proper fitting arc, there is a nifty free script, Arc Correction, by Hiroyuki Sato. Grab it here: http://shspage.com/aijs/en/#arc_correction ()the link is at the top of the page)2. In case you do this often and the curves are rather tricky, perhaps using the dedicated Curvature Circle Tool plugin tool by Astute Graphics would be a better way: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/subscribe/curvature-circle-tool
A native direct solution can be a thing, but I personally am quite OK with these methods.
Anyway, thanks a ton for making a request! It helps to raise awareness and gather data. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Very close, but not entirely, to this request:
Define the Start and Stop of a Variable Width Profile on a closed path
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38816224An error occurred while saving the comment A workaround would be to cut a path in a point you want to be a starting one and then joining it back.
Not a fastest way, I agree, a command needed.
If you need a faster way — PathScribe plugin by AstuteGraphics has way to force a point to be a starting one in two clicks.

An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment There are three ways I know to do it.
1. Cut and join, but you know that. But it can’t be really automated with native actions, because Illustrator does not have an actionable Cut Selected Anchors command, only the button in a panel you have to click, or even more manual Scissors.
2. A script by Umezawa, from now closed site www.pictrix.jp
Here is the more or less permanent link to the copy I have: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l6rd8m8s80njq7/Start%20Anchor.jsx?dl=1
If placed in the Scripts folder, it can be recorded as an action.3. A commercial plugin, PathScribe, which have this command one can put into an action too.
All three solutions assumes a variable width stroke starts at a point... But you want it to be a sliding thing, just like we can do with the Type on Path, right, both ends?

An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t say it happens to me... perhaps I do something differently?
Marisa, please share the whole process, preferably as a video, so that the team can try to reproduce it. -

An error occurred while saving the comment When it crashes — do you get a crash reporter dialog? do you send the reports? if you do — do you use the same email as the one as here at UserVoice, or is it something else? Does it happen only with cloud files?

An error occurred while saving the comment This would require more data... can you find steps that always lead to this large jump in History? Can you share a test file, record a video with the History panel opened? Do you see the actual more-than-one-step jumps in it?

An error occurred while saving the comment Micaela, what about the Character panel?

Illustrator has variable strokes, and these can be tapered, wavy, anything you want. Once saved as a preset or a graphics style, combined with the New Art Has Basic Appearance option disabled from the Appearance panel combined, it can be quickly utilized exactly the same if not more customizable way...
Have you tried these? If yes — what and why would you like to get improved and how?
