    Do you mean Point Type text, or Area Type, or Type on Path?
    Do you still see the text in Outline mode?
    Does it happen for all fonts or a specific one?
    Can you please provide some screenshot of the issue?
    What are the specs of your OS, which GPU do you use?
    Please provide as much details as possible.

    How often does it happen?
    How long are these freezes?
    Can you say it happens during some operations only? or it’s rather random?
    What version are you using? Can you tell if it started to work like this from a specific version?

    This is regulated by the size of the art processes and the precision value (measured in absolute values) one can edit in Pathfinder Options.

    Although vector paths stay continuous no matter how deep you zoom in, they are still stored on a canvas with rather finite coordinates, and all calculations are still very finite.

    Glad it helped!
    Yes, that’s a thing with vectors. They are rather simple to understand and intuitive to use. However, they are still stored on canvas with a finite resolution, and the app has to juggle numbers. The precision is high enough in general, but not in all the cases.
    Still, I noticed some other apps learned to make Pathfinder operations in a somewhat smarter way. That is, actually less precision, but more along the result most expect to get. Tricky to balance. That’s what options are for :)

    Marianna, it all depends on the chosen size and precision.
    How large are these shapes? You can scale them up, add, and scale back to workaround this.
    Secondly, you can go to Pathfinder panel’s menu, call Pathfinder Options, and change the Precision.
    Finally, pathfinder operations are all both very precise and not really. They are based on math and not the way we see curves. The better way (I use myself) to make these behave as I want them to is to cut the older segment and connecting the remainder with a new one. I understand this can hardly be a definitive explanation, but...
    Can you share this test file maybe, so that I can look into it, to be sure this is the case?

    I confirm this.
    However, the issue does not happen in Ai Beta, so there is a chance the next release will have it fixed.
    Thanks for reporting it!

    CJ, we have a way to assign out own shortcuts to change the case (for the commands available in Type > Change Case).
    Just go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and assign those you want. Or did you do that already?

    As for the BIU — well, 51 users needed that. Plus BIU are hidden and don’t offense anybody. Who cares about similarities with Word if it has something useful we can use in Ai? Hardly an insult :)

    InDesign uses Ctrl+Shift+B and Ctrl+Shift+I for these.
    In Illustrator these are also taken by, Toggle Bounding Box and Toggle Perspective Grid... but changing these seems less harmful than taking away Paste in Back and Spellchecking.
    What do you think?

    In case you wonder — Corel Draw has it for years. And almost literally every tool has too.

    Everybody got used to it, I know.
    And there are way more font weights and styles than Bold and Italics, sure, especially in slow but inevitable advance of whatever-you-slide-your-sliders fonts..
    And some fonts prefer to display as separate entities in font families list, instead of being one family and several styles (sure Ai should merge them!)

    But sometimes it is so much faster to press Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I while editing....
    Unfortunately Ai don’t know what it is. It Pastes in Back and Checks Spelling instead.

    I think you should add these, and use them only when user is in text edit mode.
    You should allow users to customize these too.

    Strange, it behaves like if the name is too long to be fitted within the on-canvas artboard’s width.
    But the name is just '120×240cm', correct?

    Yeah, that’s a nice workaround, and the one with an extra artboard is good as well — but because the numbering of artboards always increments, I avoid it.

    Yeah... unfortunately, artboards are not exactly objects, unlike frames in Figma. The model Illustrator uses is to keep them in their own modality, and we can’t select both the objects on canvas and the artboards.
    The reasoning behind this is valid though.

    Just to clarify — does it crash when you create a new artwork instead?
    Do you use pencil? Does it crash if you use fingers only?

    James, can you record a short demo on this behavior?
    Also — what are you scaling options, for the OS and Ai itself?
    Does the behavior match to the one described by Marc Edwards in this article? — https://bjango.com/articles/designtoolcanvashandles/

    Thanks for the heads up, Thomas. I hadn’t had any news on this so far :(

    Thomas, I am told the team is investigating this.
    The main guess is that Ai subsets a wrong character when writing a PDF copy of the file. Perhaps of some inner conflict the auto-generated hyphens Ai displays dynamically get converted into the the ones next to the hyphen in the symbols table — plus signs...
    So the investigation is going. Thanks for the persistence!

    Very peculiar.
    I searched the web for the font and the first link I’ve been given is http://fonts3.com/fonts/i/ITCAvantGardeStd-BkCn.html
    The site claims licenses are OK, so I gave it a go (can you compare it with the one you have on your machine? font files differ, even when names match)
    Alas, when I opened the .ai file — no plus signs were shown to me. The font got recognized, but proper hyphens got displayed. PDF really shows pluses.
    This is all pretty strange. My guess is that some shifting occurs in the code table. Hyphen an plus are neighbors usually... Shared the link with the font team.

    Wow! Never saw anything like this.
    Thomas, do you have at least a screenshot of this? or better the document you can share? If you ever get it again, please make a copy of the document, remove everything but this text and share here, along with the font you are using (if you are allowed to). The team will investigate this.

    I supposed you tried to restart the machine and checked if you have enough space? Sorry, I just have to ask it.

    Speaking of workarounds — this one is considered the best of them: https://en.likefont.com/
    If I count how many very unpopular fonts I found with it... That’d be more than a hundred.

    Speaking of Retype — it searches only within Adobe Fonts library and your local library, that is installed fonts. It can’t work fine with rotated or distorted texts also. It can serve well in some cases, but hardly succeeds with others.

    Sure it should!
    Meanwhile there is a free script you can use to trace all the images in a selection or just in a folder: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#batchtrace

    As the description says, there is a bug in Illustrator that prevents it from correctly applying the color presets, which you can upvote for fixing here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/908050-illustrator-desktop-sdk-scripting-issues/suggestions/46741876-tracing-bugs-in-scripts

    Are you talking about the Dimension tool?
    Or about copying and pasting an object from a normal-seized document to a large-canvas one?
    Or are you talking about the view percentage value?
    Or all at once?

    The way the large canvas works is by introducing an internal scaling coefficient. In some cases it glitches out.
    Can you explain further, what’s happening, please?

    I suppose you mean raster images placed or embedded in an Illustrator document, not vector?

    Interesting. I upvote this.
    At the moment there is no way to do it, even with the Width Selector panel from Astute Graphics... nor copying, nor selecting of similar markers. It allows some other cool things though.

    But overprinting a fill (or a stroke) won’t make it into a spot color once separated into channels.
    So do you just mean you want Overprint option added to Ai on iPad?

    AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) commented  · 

    Hmm. Still hard to grasp — sorry. So what is under, a spot-colored background, or the image?
    I suppose the image is below and you have some art above, overprinted... Correct?
    Can you please share an image to explain it further?

    I somewhat get an idea behind it... although I’d prefer to hear an extended answer to 'why'.
    On the other hand, I can hardly imagine how this would work if I apply Overprint to a thing on top of something else than a flat color. Then it’d be just impossible to convert ALL the colors below (and it can be a blend, a gradient, an image, anything) into spot ones.
    Overprint is just not the thing is 'very similar' to spots, it’s an entirely different thing, about ...not making holes in channels.
    Sorry, I personally don’t think it’s technically possible.

    Does your mask is applied as clipped one or not?
    Does it help if you group the image first, before applying the mask?
