An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Amanda, I’m not sure I understand it correctly... Do you mean these two options in Transform (Scale Corners / Strokes & Effects) get toggled on their own when you swap tools, from Selection (V) to Free Transform?
These settings are application-level and should not be affected by the current tool selection... Please clarify. Having a video of the behavior would be also helpful.

Having a layer above the layer with hyperlinks now works as expected in Beta 30.0.0.114
An error occurred while saving the comment Works for me when I test this...
Can you please share a test file in the .ai format, and share the exact settings used to produce a PDF from it? A screenshot or a .joboptions file would do.
Do you use 29.8 build?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment This doesn’t really answer all the questions I asked :) I get the point, but I don’t think it’s thought trough enough. But CADtools doesn’t really answer these as well — but they allow to just edit dimensions, turning them into labels, yes. They stick, but don’t update (unless a user chooses the 'measurement' type again).
My point on CADtools is that it’s an advanced set of tools and requires some experience to purchase and use, I think... they can allow custom labels. Ai on the other hand, while being a pro platform, aims to have fool-proof general tools that would minimize errors, for inexperienced users included.
I still agree with the idea and I voted for this.

Allow to select Dimension Text
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50488971An error occurred while saving the comment OK, get it. Imagine this case then.
What if I have an object and create a dimension snapped to it. Then I change the text manually (let’s imagine it’s allowed to do). Then I resize the object, and the dimensions has to update (because it’s connected to the object). What should happen with the altered text? Should it stay custom? should it update without or with a warning? Should we get a way to reset the value without the need of recreating it? How do you plan one can find 'fake' dimensions in a file that is supplied by someone else (no-one can guarantee consistency then). When I think of all these questions, expanding a dimension into just a group to edit the text seems like a lesser evil than thinking about all the slippery bottlenecks allowing this would bring...An error occurred while saving the comment Point taken :) Just wanted to get a proper explanation as a foundation for this request. I have some experience with apparel, so I totally get it.
Just to get even more: should this mode automatically put the focus into the text after a blank dimension is created (in case this comes as a mode and not as a way to edit text in 'honest' dimensions)?

An error occurred while saving the comment So what you need is a 'blank dimension' mode, when you still witness and dimension line, arrowheads, some text — but actually no text given from the beginning so you could enter something else (what exactly, I wonder)? And to have it still attached to the object and having it respond to changing the actual size of it? And you want to have it just to create rough mockups, and to do that you want the honest tool to learn to lie? :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Luca, you don’t have to expand it at all.
Grab Direct Selection tool. click the white (or any) chip, and assign a stroke color to it. The object would stay live, and the stroke won’t get lost even if the swatch is global and gets updated.
Please try it and comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Clayton, there is a dedicated request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37751530
I’ve just added you as a voter there, based on your comment. Thanks!
Meanwhile, a workaround is to use Move Dialog (V, Enter) — it has a larger limit, same as the maximum artboard size.An error occurred while saving the comment @Stéphanie, no, on Windows you have to create a virtual desktop first with Ctrl+Win+D, and to use Ctrl+Win+arrows to switch between these. Windows use the Win key for almost all OS-related shenanigans.
But sure it’s a valid observation. These can be altered, of course, in Mac’s Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control... but I assume Mac’s keys are more important for Macs’ users.
Anyway, these nudge keys should be customizable too.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Shift + Arrow does ×10 nudge, leave it as it is.
Alt + Arrow is reserved for 'nudge with a copy', don’t touch it (and it takes away Alt completely)
So we have Ctrl+Arrow and Ctrl+Shift+Arrow left: first one is ideal to have 1/10 of the increment value, and the second could be even 1/100. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, looks broken. Works fine for me...
But still — does it happen in the dedicated Transform panel for you as well? And the Properties? or does it happen ONLY in Control?An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t replicate, the second filed gets updated fine for me...
Stefane, does it happen in the dedicated Transform panel for you as well? And the Properties? For any object? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, please provide the test file with this object, full OS and GPU specs, so the team can review this case.
You can either attach the file to the comment (if you are OK with having it publicly accessible) or send directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case please mention the link to this report, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50562141) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Recently Astute Graphics developed their own version of Transform effect, which offers a variety of pivot choices, including custom point: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorscribe/ag-utilities-overview/ag-transform-live-effect
Quite powerful!An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, this would be a great addition to this tool as well, I agree.
And surely there is a request for that: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/37809568-transform-effect-with-manually-adjustable-anchor-p

An error occurred while saving the comment Andreas, well it can be done with blends, but the way might seem not that clear. Take a look at the file attached. It's not an exact replica of the thing you wanted, but you can get the idea.
Some notes:
— an ellipse is cut at a top point
— a simple blend is created first, and then both the blend and the cut circles are selected together, and then Replace command is called
— each path blended is a compound path with a point-helper, to help Ai to maintain the relative positions
It does not meant the idea you proposed is bad, on the contrary :)AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment OK, this is more clear now.
Some details are still not. Like what if I set 10 copies, customized each and the reduced the number of copies to 2, and then decided to make it 10 again — should these new copies remember settings they predecessors used to have...I get the idea, but still do not understand why this thing is needed.
However, I definitely know that this is similar to the ability I want, to pick a child from the the generated art (Transform is one) and apply next effect to this child (or a range of children) only.What do you think of it?
An error occurred while saving the comment How should it work and what customizations offer?

An error occurred while saving the comment You can use workaround with invisible larger object grouped with your art, with a center in a point you need.
Adjustable anchor position would be great though, but it won't be easy in many ways: to set absolute coordinated but store them as relative offset? What will happen if you move your art then or change dimension or art itself? Needs a lot of thinking, while dummy trick already works.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jakub, please try this:
1. In Preferences > General try to enable 'Use legacy "File New" interface' option — this should work as a temporary workaround
2. In the same place try to click Reset Preferences to see if the problem with the modern New Document happens dew some Prefs corruption -

An error occurred while saving the comment Another plugin that can suit your needs would be Cool Selection, offering Selection Brush tool: https://www.cool-selection.com
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, got it. Fixed the title and the description a bit to better suit the illustration provided — thank you!
At the moment the only way to have this in Illustrator is to use Super Marquee Tool plugin by Astute Graphics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9QuUIK_HxQ
It provides choices of Rectangular, Elliptical, Square, Round shapes, and these can be cycled on the fly by pressing a dedicated key.An error occurred while saving the comment Can you please elaborate more? I have an idea in my head when I read this, but I suspect it’s a different one...
Perhaps some mockups to explain it? -

Never heard of it! In fact, I just run several older versions: CS6 (not having these options exposed in Transform yet, but having them in Preferences), CC2017, CC2023 — none of them behaves like you said they did. Toggling tools never toggles the options when I try.
I can’t explain what it was for you... But d agree just swapping tools to change these would be faster. I can’t say I want it though, because I personally very rarely need to scale strokes, but I use Free Transform daily, so it’d harm me this way...
There’s a request to be able to flip these with a hotkey: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38285362
Another one would be to toggle these modes on the fly, after the dragging is started: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47186642
Finally, a larger request to hotkey anything at all: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237
None of these or others I know of mention Free Transform as a way to always to enable these options... I bet it was either a coincidence or a rare bug :/
Let’s see if any other users comment on this.
