An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. I do not recall it ever working for text...
I know the alignment of stroke for open paths got recently broken in Beta 28.5.0.78, but then it got fixed in 28.6.0.54.
The buttons though are still not disabled and are clickable — but again, I do not remember them ever working.As far as I know, the alignment of a stroke is considered to be complex appearance, while the characters in live text can only have a basic one. So it’s more an Appearance and Text problem, rather than Stroke one...
The corresponding request never had a status change: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31416682
Which version exactly was supporting it? Please remind me!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Also! I don't understand why aligning strokes don't work for open paths. I have to build custom width profile to simulate this — 0 at on side, full width on the other. Why? You think that people will be angry, when outside will look like inside, because of path direction? Make a button for changing it to Stroke palette already.

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean canvas size (which doesn’t seem to make sense) or an artboard size?
If the latter — there is a free script that you can use for this, FitSelectionToArtboards, https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#fitselectiontoartboards
If not — please elaborate more and share some examples.

An error occurred while saving the comment Related to these two requests:
1. Make more improvements to Dimensions — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48358748 (the 'Higher precision settings. At least to 1/8" but 1/16" would be great as well' part)
2. On Dimension Tool Options -Please add. 0"-0 1/8" & 0"-0 1/16" to Unit precision. I really need 3/8", 5/8",7/8"

If it misbehaves still — please comment back.
An error occurred while saving the comment Betas indeed can be quite unstable. I do not offer to work with Beta all the time. After all, these two get installed together and work separately. Disk space might be an issues, SSDs are tiny.
The only reason I think a user should try it is to check if the bugfix indeed solves the problem before it get pushed into the GA build.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment The image seems to be missing. Perhaps UV’s security system dropped it :( Can you try anew, please? Or upload it someplace else and share a link to it?

Allow to hold Opt/Alt while using Lasso tool to toggle freeform / polygonal modes, like in Photoshop

An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, I see. This is a thing I either never knew or totally forgot.
I suppose it’d be hard to implement, because Ai and Ps treat modifier keys differently. This usage though is similar to how Ai treats them — 'active while being held', unlike 'hold before click but feel free to release after' Ps uses.
Thanks for clarification! Voted.An error occurred while saving the comment Steve, holding Opt/Alt for Lasso in Ps makes it subtract for an existing selection, just like Ai’s one does...
So what you mean by 'with more detail'?
Perhaps you refer to a Polygonal Lasso? Can you please elaborate? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I love this request.
It makes total sense to me and I do not recall anything similar here at UV, except for these:
1. Allow to customize colors for handle controls, anchors, and paths edges (permanently and context-based / on the fly) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35067937
2. Multi color guides — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20568925
3. Guide Colors to match Layer Colors — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38763232Great idea!

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, deleting fluff is a quite common operation, and Object > Path > Clean Up dialog doesn’t offer anything to help us.
Meantime, there are some ways to help with the task.
1. A free script by Carlos Canto: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-to-delete-the-line-which-is-small-in-length-and-line-on-one-another/td-p/3266017
2. A similar script by John Wundes: https://github.com/johnwun/js4ai/blob/master/SelectPathsBySize.jsx (mentioned in a general request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31380736)
3. Plugins, like FindReplace Art by Astute Graphics: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/findreplace/findreplace-art-overview (search for '4. Linear Extent' on the page)
4. Probably NitPicker plugin by Hot Door: https://www.hotdoor.com/controlplugins (not sure though)AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Severine, can you please check if you have Paste Remembers Layers option checked in the Layers panel’s flyout menu?
When it’s enabled, Illustrator tries to respect the original layers the objects were copied from and tries to paste them accordingly.
A very powerful option, but a hard to track one (and there are requests here at UV to handle it).If it is disabled though, it’d require investigation. Either way — please reply back.

An error occurred while saving the comment Laura, the team would need to see the actual PDF file to investigate this.
Please send it to sharewithai@adobe.com and mention the link to this report for tracking purposes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48639686Also — how does Photoshop treats this PDF and how Acrobat views it?
Does toggling a preview mode in Illustrator from GPU to CPU make any difference? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems like the same problem happens for Library assets:
Alt-drag from a CC library to an artboard to create a linked object doesn't work reliably
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48637481An error occurred while saving the comment I am pretty sure that Illustrator can’t do anything with Caps Lock. It’s an OS behavior, and hacking into it is not easy.
At least this explains the problem... Thanks for sharing the observation, Chris! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Matt, here is a similar report about Alt not working reliably for normal local links: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44577987
It is possible to happen because of Caps Lock being toggled.
Can you please check it and reply back?An error occurred while saving the comment For future reference, a feature request about changing the default behaviour for Alt-dragging:

An error occurred while saving the comment For future reference, the mentioned related bug report:
Alt-drag from a CC library to an artboard to create a linked object doesn't work reliably
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48637481An error occurred while saving the comment The intended solution is to drag it with the Alt/Opt held.
This is not a thing one can discover easily, since Ai does not change the cursor when you drag and press the modifier, does not hint it when hover over a library item... a sloppy job.
And sure, while Alt/Opt actually feels like a suitable behavior, some would like to modify it and swap the deafult behavior. But alas, Libraries are made by aliens who seems to know nothing about how Ai works :/ -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator’s Smart Guides system doesn’t detect tangential and perpendicular relations, and Dimension Tool relies on this system.
There is a separate feature request on this you can upvote: Tangent Constraint or Advanced snapping system — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34733398
In scenarios like this I personally rely on a custom plugin from Astute Graphics suite, Perpendicular Line Tool, like one of two GIFs shows. Works for curves as well.
Another method that doesn’t require a plugin would be just to build a perpendicular manually, like the second GIF shows. Will works with straight lines only.

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems to be related to these two requests:
1. Show image output dimensions before exporting with Export As — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32242249
2. Add a way to see a preview with the set resolution in Export As dialog — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37998001An error occurred while saving the comment Nicola, Illustrator has several methods of exporting images.
Save for Web deals with one artboard only, therefore it’s possible to specify pixel dimensions for it.
Export As can export chosen artboards at once, but it works in bulk, with resolution coefficient only, and it has no control over dimensions per image. It better fits printing tasks.
Export for Screens is a newer method, designed to bridge these two methods together, — you have control over artboards, and can set specific dimensions. It’s not perfect, but can solve some problems you might have.
Have you tried it? If yes — why do you still prefer using Export As, if it does not have the thing you ask for?
InDesign’s solution to Outside of Text is just a trickery. Judging by a PDF output, what it secretly does it making the stroke twice as thick and puts it behind the characters... A trick that is possible only due to the rudimentary appearance system InDesign has.
Illustrator’s approach is both more powerful, but doesn’t support complex appearance for live characters — this includes inside (especially) and outside strokes
There is s separate, more global request for that:
Allow to set the stroke below the fill in appearance panel for text characters — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46545787
...but it’s less popular, since users don’t really know Appearance (sadly) and the connection between the problems is hard to grasp.
Perhaps we should get these merged? What do you think?
