An error occurred while saving the comment A related request:
Create a layer from a selection or an artboard
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32124604
(possible with a custom action) -
30 votes
An indented way to achieve this now is to create a simple action.
1. Create an action
2. Select some art
3. Create a new Layer with a button in the Layers panel
4. Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer
5. End recording
Actions are great for automating various routines we have in Illustrator, and this is just one of them. If you think it still should be a native operation instead (or an action to be included in standard Actions pack) — please vote and comment.

'Works like a charm'An error occurred while saving the comment @Jan, because we users find many ways to use Ai which developers knew and know nothing about. They code, we use. There is an ever-growing number of techniques, tricks and workflows we create, each one suiting different situation. While one in particular can seem obvious for some, it is not for others. Remember — we had to wait for an eternity for, say, panning with a mouse wheel, or History, or a vertical alignment for area text... Obvious? For sure! But there is that many hands to develop Ai, and choices have to be made about what to develop or fix next... :(
That’s what UserVoice is for — to weight requests and bugs.
And I personally assume that this request, which has a sane workaround with an action, will and should be postponed in favour of other stuff. You don’t have to go to Layers at all once an action is set. This is what Actions are for.
Vote still :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, this one I can protest about.
Just make an action that does this: create a layer, move the selected art into it with a dedicated command, turn the layer into a template, assign to a F-key. Just checked, it works (don’t forget to toggle dialogues off). The only downside — this new layer would always have a name you set initially. But if you want to set one — just enable the dialogue for the third step again.An error occurred while saving the comment Ken, what's wrong with 'Collect in New Layer command' (except it creates a sublayer)? If it would create a top-level layer instead — would it work for you?

Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.
An error occurred while saving the comment Color panel behaves differently depending on the current tool picked.
If you have a gradient stop selected (on canvas or within the Gradient panel, no difference), the Color panel will show the round marker we can click to cancel a color stop selection ONLY when the Gradient tool is NOT picked.
And with the Gradient tool picked, there is nothing we can do to cancel a selection of a color stop (rather than creating a new stop and deleting it). -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are some scripts to do that.
https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75097/how-to-repeat-a-gradient-multiple-times-in-illustrator-and-photoshop
offers two different versions that allow to create a gradient based on flat colors of selected objects (using their depth as an order). First one allows to set a number of repeats, make it loop, sharp transitions — all nice features.https://github.com/mhulse/illy-grad uses selected swatches for that.

An error occurred while saving the comment Do not get the question, Dina.
By looking into Layers or on canvas (if the layout reveals it)?An error occurred while saving the comment This should be a native option, sure, but today we can use a free script by Sergey Osokin, SortLayerItems, to do that:
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Layer.md#sortlayeritems
Works like a clock! I wish you posted this sooner, because sorting these manually is ...ugh! Hope this helps, and thanks for the request!An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean reordering layers themselves, or sorting objects within layers?

An error occurred while saving the comment Dina, if you have a really complex document, locating the selected object in Layers (with the small button we can’t assign a hotkey to: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34798945) and the scrolling the contents of the panel to see the layer item it belongs to can be very tedious. It’s just too many precise clicks, while a menu command is just one operation (even if it’s a same kind of command that can’t have a hotkey, in the Layers panel’s menu).

An error occurred while saving the comment Brian, if only it was simple, this 'simply allow'.
Ai is a behemoth with dependencies as bones and existing workflows as veins. Changing anything that simple can cause everything to crumble, in the most unexpected place imaginable. Actually, the problems you are seeing the large canvas mode is causing (while it being a rather harmless band-aid, applied to the surface of the behemoth) would be a tiny fraction of problems a truly infinite canvas would cause to the model. And it’s like performing a surgery on a living brain, since Illustrator is always is in use by us.But I agree.
There is an existing request that is gaining popularity, about the truly infinite canvas: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38129344 — you can upvote it, if you wish. -

Can you please package the original file and send it to sharewithai@adobe.com for further investigation?
Also, please try to create new file with the same dimensions (which should result in a non-large canvas doc) and paste your art there. Then try again the save process and see if the bug stays.
And thanks for the report!

An error occurred while saving the comment Happens only when global or book colors that in use on canvas or presets are within a deleted color group. Ai honors them and keeps the connection.
A prompt to delete them anyway could be shown.

An error occurred while saving the comment UPD. Scratch my comment, I accidentally mistook if for the desktop request.
It sounds like what MultiExporter scripts can do: https://github.com/mericson/illustrator-scripts/tree/master
The thing is workflows differ. A custom UI to allow all the combinations of formats and options and preferences we all have would be a rather messy dialog, I imagine.That’s why all of these get solved with custom scripts.
There are many more out there, free, as most scripts are:

https://esstudio.site/2019/11/12/export-illustrator-file-to-all-important-file-formats.htmlAnd some are even paid (but worth studying in some cases):

Illustrator respects the overprint when exporting raster files. Please follow the instructions in comments and reply back if it does not work for you.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ton, I test it with the latest Beta at Windows 11 machine and it still works for me :/
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, I just tested it and it works. Steps are:
1. Create a couple or rectangles, I made cyan and magenta
2. Apply Overprint Fill to the top one
3. Enable Overprint Preview — actually it does not matter, it always gets exported the same, if it’s on or not
4. Export the JPEG. Options are irrelevant
5. Check the file — the overprint is there
Does it work the same for you?An error occurred while saving the comment Armindo, yes, there is a separate request to have mixed inks swatches: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31966252-mixed-ink-swatch-like-indesign (and it has your vote already). Just sharing this link here for other users who might want to vote too.
But I don’t see we have a separate request about keeping spot colors while exporting a PSD — and I believe it’s an important valid feature. Ps and Ai should collaborate on this.
Can you please log it as a separate feature request? Share the link here for everybody else. Will gladly vote for it..
As for this one — I am closing it, since the solution exists, if you don’t mind.An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, it cannot. Of course it cannot.
'Overprint' is an option for an object, it can’t be applied to a pixel selection. Even when you export it as a layered document — a layer in Photoshop just doesn’t have an 'overprint' as a thing, as a concept, at all — only blend modes (and knockout settings and conditional blending).
So if you want something to get 'overprinted', you have to use blending modes and flatten transparency in Ai.Pantones and spot colors in general are a bit different.
While JPEGs obviously can’t have more channels than the standard implies, but PSDs can, right? But in fact it’s a shared problem. If you save your document with spot colors as a PDF, and check it in Acrobat, using Output Preview or Ink Manager — it will show you your spot channels. But if you try to import this PDF in Photoshop — this info will be lost, because Illustrator EXPORTS in a designated color space (RGB, CMYK), and Photoshop IMPORTS as the designated color space (RGB, CMYK or Lab). It’s always a conversion.An error occurred while saving the comment As far as I know, Illustrator export the simulated overprints when you enable View > Overprint Preview option. Does it work for you?

In this case the Mockup add-on seemed to refuse to run with a non-English language used. If you have a similar problem — please try to switch the app language and reinstall both the application and the Mockup add-on manually through CCD. If it fixes it for you — please upvote and comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Sarp, thank you so much for writing back about the way you had to walk to solve it.
It’s strange you weren’t able to use Turkish to run it, so it’s not really a solution, but a workaround.
I won’t close the report then, but put your information on front, to guide others.
Hope it will get enough votes.An error occurred while saving the comment Sarp, please check this: open CCD app, find Ai app, click on the 3-dots buttons and check add-ons. Locate mockup module and try to install it manually.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you please share a screenshot of how the rendering looks?
Gradiator plugin by Astute Graphics now allows to control all of these, except for specific radial controls (hilite angle and elevation)
