An error occurred while saving the comment Does it work if you don’t copy anything?
If yes — does it matter what you copy? a text, a vector art? -

An error occurred while saving the comment If you have a team, please try to get colleagues who have the same problems to vote for these. UV feedback helps a lot, and votes do count.
That’s as much I can help though. And thank you for not being silent!An error occurred while saving the comment Emilio, something gone wrong with your recording.
The cursor is detached from the point you actually click.
The second half of the video, where you switch to Illustrator probably (based on familiar cursors that got recorded), was not captured — the window displayed is still Rhino.1. Serialization, that is consequential chained dimensions. CADtools have these (a lot of them), but in Rhino you created only two adjacent dimensions, and just snapped them together. It’s fine when you have only few, sure, and if you have a dozen, that feels more tedious to create... I have no information on if the team is going to add the ability to set up chained dimensions, although it’s been requested.
Here, I made it into a separate public request (and already added you as a voter): http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47734550
Live updates is planned, and there is a separate request for that as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47555246 (and added your vote)
2. The team definitely tried to dimension objects :) But obviously there are many more of us, users, than team members, so we have much higher chances to discover oddities and bugs. Speaking of radii and diameters, the current tool allows you to create both. Again, the difference is made with the way you draw (and you should have at least once seen a blue hint at the bottom of the app that explains this — please see the screenshot attached. Have you seen it?).
I’d personally prefer to a modifier key I can use to flip (on constrain) them...I made a separate request about each one, you can upvote them if you wish:
Press Shift to constrain the angle of a radius / diameter dimension: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47734580
Press Alt while creating a radius / diameter dimension to toggle these two mode on the fly: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47734592Perhaps you’d also like to upvote a request about stepped distances for dimension lines: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47558036
3. Glad it got solved for you. I wonder how were you able to not discover it on your own? There can be a problem with it. Can you guess why?
4. I see what you mean, based on the text only... You say that Dimension tool in Ai prefers top snap to existing dimensions instead of points of actual artworks below, because the permanent layer dimensions house in forces the tool to snap to points above the art, right?
Yes, this happens, and I suffer from it more than a 'default user', because my offset values for extensions lines have to be zero.
I recorded a GIF to demonstrate it.Here is a separate report about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47734646
I added you as a voter as well.
If you mean something else — please comment here or there.An error occurred while saving the comment Hm. Can you please make a short video or a GIF (I use free and simple LICEcap for this, www.cockos.com/licecap/)?
I try to follow the steps you provide and fail to snap to a wrong point. I get the idea, but just can’t make it happen.Regarding Rhino:
1. Well, Ai now has a lot of option to style these too. Not as much as CADtools offer, but Ai doesn’t aim to replicate it in full. If you have specific styling requests — please upvote an existing request (there is at least onc) or create a new one. One request per entry would help the team to evaluate the demand.
2. Ai team decided to minimize the amount of tools. The idea is that there is no big difference between orthogonal and parallel dimensions, and between radius and diameter one. You toggle these directly while drawing these. Instead of external modes, Ai uses internal modes. Speaking of the way to force the orthogonal mode — would you like to have Shift do that?
3. Ai also allow to draw a dimension in a void... click, move, click, move, click. How does it not solve the case you are having? Please demonstrate.
4. The idea of excluding dimension from Smart Guides is not new. But imagine you want to crate a dimension in a way so that the dimension line snaps an existing dimension line you already created? Since Ai’s dimensions does not have a way to specify the distance between the object and the dimension line in a stepped way (something CADtools can do!), the team decided to leave a way to achieve it... How does Rhino solve this?An error occurred while saving the comment Emilio, some time before Ai had none (I suppose by 'quote' you mean 'dimension'?)
Having one is something :)The latest Beta build now allows to disable units — soon it will get released into a normal build.
As far as I know, it snaps pretty fine, but you say it doesn’t? Can you please elaborate?
The same goes about snapping several dimensions to a single point — have no problems with that.
It is possible to create orthogonal dimensions as well — you just have to move your mouse to the side for it to switch from parallel to orthogonal.
As for the CADtools — their site says version 14.1.2 is compatible with Illustrator 2024, but you say it doesn’t work? Or do you use the previous version and never upgraded? Either way, Ai is hardly involved. If there is another reason and it just stopped working for you — write them. No need to yell.If you like the Rhino’s tool, perhaps you should explain what makes it superior compared to Ai’s one.

An error occurred while saving the comment Raymond, I have the same problem on Windows 10... I have just a couple of hundreds of fonts now, and I am using SSD.

An error occurred while saving the comment There are a way we can do that in Illustrator now.
1. There is a script 'unTextPath', written by Umezawa. The site is now dead (http://www.pictrix.jp), so you can grab the script below, rename it from .txt inst .jsx
The script will remove the text and stroke the path to 1pt black. I modified it to also select the path (the original one didn’t do that). If you wish to revert it back — remove the line 56.
The script also removes the text form Area Type objects the same way.2. Then, there is a another script, by Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso, 'DetachTextFromPath': https://github.com/nvkelso/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/text/DetachTextFromPath.jsx
It converts the type-on-path into just a point type. The path though is just stripped from the text and left as type on path...
That's why Sergey Osokin merged them both together into one — you can download it here. Rename 'Unmake Type on Path.txt' into .jsx after saving it.
It will select both the now normal path and text after running it in Ai.
Please note that 3 steps are recorded in History when you run it — unfortunately, there is no way to avoid it, be careful when you try to undo.It does not mean this should not be the default thing Ai has — on the contrary!
As for now — use scripts.And perhaps you might be interest in this request as well, about combining a text and a path into Type on Path: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44049999
Nathaniel Kelso also wrote a script to do this as well.An error occurred while saving the comment Reinis, the same method can be used for a type on path too, that is correct. Still it feels like a workaround.
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a free script that allows to do exactly that:
https://github.com/nvkelso/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/text/DetachTextFromPath.jsx
And it definitely should be there in Illustrator as a standard command.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Sarah, you can use Group Selection tool to ease the process. It allows to select the whole path to copy — but year, requires precise clicking, better done in Outline mode.

An error occurred while saving the comment Just amazing how Ai thinks I am to select another path while I’m creating a new one here.
If only we at least had a feedback when we hover over existing path...AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, this modern dialog is pretty ugly in general.
This specific problem with the hidden More Settings I demonstrated this to the team several times.
Glad you decided to make it into a report.The button is there, as you probably discovered on your own already, it’s just slightly below the fold.
This does not happen in Photoshop (it just doesn’t have enough options to show), and is more prominent in InDesign, which has way more many fields to show.When only ONE element goes below the fold, like an orphan line, something should be done to the UI to eliminate it.
Sure, the dialog’s size can’t be changes probably, it is 1080×720 for a reason.Arseny, if you wish to see a normal looking dialog, you should toggle 'Use legacy "File New" interface' option is Preferences > General.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for sharing this, Stephen.
I passed this information to the Font team to look upon.
UserVoice should allow to attach ZIP-files, but their weird policies are somewhat unpredictable.
If the team needs a test file from you — I will message you directly. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Still doesn’t happen for me.
No matter where a place the reference point, the contents of it (a vector art or a linked image, completely inside or only partially) stays in place correctly when resized, with or without Move/Copy Artwork with the artboard option (checked just in case).
The build is the same...Can you please record a short video of you trying it (or list the steps)?
I will try to inform the team about it, to see if they can check it on your side, if needed.An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t reproduce it... but I’m on Windows.
Does it happen for all the document, all the artboards, all the files you try?
If it’s not — can you share this problematic file? -

An error occurred while saving the comment So, was it working fine before you installed additional materials? Which are these?
When exactly does the crash happen, can you pinpoint the steps you make? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ian, that’s not hinting, but the anti-aliasing method.
You can check it if you hover the mouse and wait to get the tooltip hint.
It doesn’t influence the hinting at all.If you wish to see the text as if it was outlined, but keep it live — apply Effect > Path > Outline Object to your type object.
I checked you claim and tested it with Ai CS6 (previous enough, I think — older versions didn't' have anti-aliasing control, unlike Photoshop).
Nope, ugly fonts with poor hinting don’t get better when another method gets chosen. You probably misremember that. Sorry! -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a Gradient Forge plugin, a part of Astute Graphics commercial plugin pack, and it allows to make the process of stacking stop less painful.
There is no dedicated option yet to quickly convert normal smooth gradients into this hard/stacked ones, but perhaps they will add it later. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Who wrote the script, and what is the purpose of it?
I get no error messages when I try to execute it.
Running Windows 10, Ai Beta 28.3.0.55
Can you please record a short video or a GIF of this behavior?
Demonstrate the order of steps you try to perform to distribute objects specifically.
Does it happen in any document or a specific one only? If only one — can you share it?
