An error occurred while saving the comment I see exactly what you mean, but it’s never this simple.
When you use spot colors (which are separate inks, especially in gradients), it is implied that we know what we do and are responsible for the final output. Mixing CMYK with spots is never an easy task for any print shop — just because of the physics of the color you are witnessing.If you check Separations Preview panel, and toggle CMYK composite and used spot channels, you will see Illustrator plays fair: inks gets blended into zero, cross-fading into each other. There is no automated trickery that can suit any case, it all relies on our perception and the task we are having.
Sometimes we can make a darker color to be overprinted and shift the transition slightly, to make the top ink cover the bottom one slightly, and setup both separately. Won’t really work if both colors have the same luminosity.
A safer solution would be to introduce intermediate stops into the gradient.
You can do this manually, or with help of auxiliary tools, like Gradient Blender script by Sergey Osokin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3FG0g5yDm8).There is a also separate request for different blending methods for gradients: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45171784-lch-gradients
If you wish, I can merge this one into it. -

You can do it by holding Shift while using the Eyedropper tool
An error occurred while saving the comment A more automated way to derive strokes from fill is possible thanks to the free StrokeColorFromFill script by Sergey Osokin: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#strokecolorfromfill
It allows to set the same color, or make it darker/lighter. Can save a ton of time. -

With the v29.2, Illustrator now allows you to export into Ai and EPS format via the export for screen dialogue.
You will also have the ability to fine-tune the these documents through the advance settings.
We hope you would find the changes useful, please let us know your feedback or comment below.
An error occurred while saving the comment One way to solve this today is a script by Sergey Osokin, Export selection as AI: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Export.md#export-selection-as-ai
Does exactly what the request is about, but using a separate dialog, not from the Export for Screens dialog.
Won’t handle EPS and TIFF, won’t deal with assets.

An error occurred while saving the comment I would prefer 'Save artboards as separate AI' command or option, without messing with Asset Export.
And I think I saw a dedicated script for that. -

Starting with Beta 30.2.0.26, 'Export For Screens' supports exporting TIFF files.
Just to add to this, the support for AVIF (AV1) was added in Beta 30.1.0.89.
Please test and comment back!

An error occurred while saving the comment And we have a beautiful script to do this in Illustrator, SetPointsCoordinates: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Path.md#setpointscoordinates
It allows to set absolute coordinates for a selection of points (and set relative distances as well), using both global and artboard coordinates. The script is free.The other solution — powerful PathScribe panel, that had this function for many years, along with dozens and dozens and dozens more. The plugin is paid, but worth it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t say I am extremely happy with the way InDesign does it, but yes, I’d rather much prefer to treat the common center of a partial selection when changing coordinates.

As per the comment, these are available by enabling the East Asian options in Text Preferences: Kinsoku Set and Mojikumi Set. Please reply if it solves this for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment Even though Illustrator uses double float format to store coordinates for points and objects, documents we create are still based on PostScript, and it uses points (based on inches). Even if we use millimeters as units (and I do as well!), these get recalculated. This leads to rounding errors — and this is my guess why it happens :(
I had to give up on using arrow keys mostly, because they work bad with Snap to Grid enabled... I use Move dialog, and become very efficient with it.
But it’s a workaround, and even though I am fast, having working keys instead would be much better! Thank you so much for the report.

This feature request is completed and it is available in Illustrator 28.0 and above.
An error occurred while saving the comment @C, I see what you mean, I struggle with the same problem, and I really doubt Illustrator can SELECT the file in the Finder / Explorer... I bet it’s something outside of its capabilities and both OS don’t really offer an integration like this.
But Ai can definitely allow to copy the name of the link...

An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, OK. Hmm... Try to reproduce it with Space instead of H, can’t make it happen.
Do you have anything keyboard-related installed? Maybe some helper apps? Does it happen using any keyboard layout (don’t no much how Chinese input works, sorry). Have no other guesses so far :/An error occurred while saving the comment Why do you HOLD the H key?
Unlike Photoshop, Illustrator does not support 'spring-loaded keys', so pressing H once permanently switches the tool, and the previously used tool does not automatically revert. Here is a feature request about having this implemented in Ai: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/43625679-spring-loaded-toolsInstead of holding H, you should hold Space — it works like you expect it to do with holding H.
As for the blinking... I try to replicate this on Windows 10 machine (not sure if you are using 10 or 11), and it does not happen to me.
My guess is that Windows Keyboard Character Repeat Options are somehow involved... When you hold a key for a certain time (delay), Windows start sending the held letter with a specified repeat rate... Perhaps somehow it triggers Ai to do that. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed. For some reason Ai requires us to use Group Selection when isolated, even though the scope is changed, and now Selection should treat object in group as top level objects. Clearly a miss :(

An error occurred while saving the comment Hm.
Ai allows this today. Not using all the ways you offered, but some.
1. You can change the number of sides in the Transform / Control / Properties panel — if your selected object is a live shape. If it’s not, but can be one, we can convert a fitting path into a live shape with Object > Shape > Convert to Shape
2. We can click the canvas with the picked Star / Polygon tool to get the creation dialog (and it works for other shapes) to set up values. Double-clicking the tool icon can be a method too, but then it’d require a variant of each dialog for each shape to also provide coordinates... Not sure it worth it, if we can just feed coordinates with a click (also try Alt-clicking for Rectangles and Ellipses to get them drawn from the center).I think you are aware of these method though...
The idea with pressing a number while dragging is fun, I like it! Upvoting just because of this one.
Yes, the 'more stops' method indeed just shifts the transition. And if you mix two spots, you get two of grayish bands :) But in some cases having a band in the other place rather than in a middle can be enough to hide the fact — especially together with the second 'overprint' method used.
Glad you figured it out and it works for you!
Please also note that Pantones are different. Some inks are more opaque than others, so you should always test these and consult with printing shops before printing a large batch.
