An error occurred while saving the comment Vince, can you check if the latest build have this problem?
I am rechecking this, and now the tool does not create another new 'Dimensions' layer if I disable the 'Print' option in an existing 'Dimensions' layer.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Kevin, I get what you mean.
To be fair, layers in Ai DO support tags, but there is no native UI to expose them and offer this amount of control.There is a related and less detailed general request to have Layer Comps: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32923834
Two existing external solutions were mentioned in the comments there:
1. CADlayers panel, offered by CADtools plugins suite, with layers groups it provides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYdlU1Kvpss
2. AG Layer Comps panel, made by Astute Graphics, which is very similar to the one Photoshop has, and works with top-level layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsZDFRDbbf8Both are handy, but none supports REGEX search. I believe these two vendors are more responsible than the Adobe machine, so perhaps you can ask them to develop this part.
Anyway, thanks for the request made! It’d be somewhat niche, but extremely powerful for users who ahve to deal with myriad of layers.

An error occurred while saving the comment Agape, do you know how InDesign’s Links panel look?
It allows to display columns to show the dimensions and file size of each asset.
Illustrator can’t display such columns in the panel, but it allows to sort linked assets by size.
Will the way InDesign does it suffice? -

An error occurred while saving the comment OK, than it’s something super weird.
Just in case — the angles set in Preferences >Smart Guides are sane as well, correct? Even though these don’t and shouldn’t influence this...Let’s try to figure this out then.
Does it happen with any artwork, or only with selections that have live shapes in them?
Can you share a test file with this small sign, rotated and unrotated?An error occurred while saving the comment Ian, please check Preferences > General, the Constrain Angle value — is it 0°?

An error occurred while saving the comment Verónica, this choice can be overridden with an option in the Save/Export dialog, like the attached image shows. Can you check the one you have there, please?
Also, the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing' being checked in the Save As is also important — it shouldn’t affect the AI side of the file, but it will affect the SVG. Do you have it enabled?

An error occurred while saving the comment Laurel, I think I know exactly what is happening (and I consider it a bug).
Let’s check my guess.Please open Appearance panel (not the truncated section in Properties, but the full one).
Select the outlines of your text and check the stack of attributes it has.
Does it look anything like the screenshot I attached?
Specifically — does the fill go below the contents? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Achim, please provide more details. What do you mean by 'get destroyed'?
What settings do you use, what is happening exactly?
The team would like see the original file also.Since UserVoice sadly has some problems with attaching SVG files for security reasons, please send these over to sharewithai@adobe.com
Also, put the link to this report in the body of this email: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48337916 -

The problem seems to be solved with Beta 28.6.
If you experience this problem still — please comment back.
An error occurred while saving the comment Janusz, the team still needs to see the original source file and the result you get.

This may indeed result in a few changes like the list you mentioned.
That said, the output should still be visually correct. Any options provided via scripting should also be used as before though.An error occurred while saving the comment @Janusz, which of three methods to produce an SVG do you use?
What was the last version you surely remember it was working the way you expected? -

Hi Everyone,
The fix has been rolled out and is available in our latest release build – 29.3.0 which is available worldwide now.
Illustrator will now keep gradient fills applied to objects in imported PDFs, generated by InDesign.
What’s new in 29.3: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, now I confirm it.
You forgot to mention a crucial detail — a gradient in the PDF should be generated in InDesign, not Illustrator.
I am upvoting it and fix the header of the report.
Thank you so much for the patience and for reporting it in the first place.As for the extreme policies UV has — yep. Even renaming an archive to TXT won’t help.
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting.
Indeed, the outlined text in the PDF is viewed as colored in viewers, but gets imported as having no fill.
And yes, I tried to create a whole lot of different gradients , with different variations of colors used, including pure channels and mixed ones. None fired.
Can you share also the original .ai document you used, and share the PDF settings?
As for the other report — yep, I saw your comment (I see all of them), but not yet sure if it’s the same problem — that’s why I ask about the details.An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t confirm.
For me, when I embed a placed PDF (saved as PDF/X-4:2010), Illustrator places missing gradient stops at 0 at 100 positions automatically, doubling existing ones.
Can you please share a test file that you can verify this behavior with? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Frank, I guess I know what is happening then.
At some point Illustrator introduced Large Canvas mode (you can read about it in detail here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/large-sized-artwork.html).
This was done to allow users to work with larger dimensions directly without calculating the scale manually.The way it works though is cumbersome. When a user creates a document and specify width or height larger than the hard limit (2^14 points: 16384 points, 227in / ~5766mm), Ai EMBEDS the hidden scaling factor into the document. Illustrator warns about is with a sign next to OK (see the image attached).
This scaling factor is fixed and can’t be changed or disabled later. Making a document smaller won’t magically remove the scaling factor and rescale the art back. This coefficient is respected by some PDF readers — when a document is viewed, but can be thrown away, if the artwork is imported instead — and this is what probably happens with you.
This is no mention in the FAQ (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/large-sized-canvas-troubleshooting.html), but I am not really surprised — even though it got introduced in 2020, the tech is still not perfect and here at UV dozen reports exist about it flawed behavior.As for the moment the only way to convert a large canvas document into a normal one is to copy and past all the contents into a new one (with Paste Remembers Layers enabled, if needed).
Can you please check if that’s the case and comment back?
An error occurred while saving the comment All at once (which is expected, due to how large canvas is constructed), or each element get scaled separately?

An error occurred while saving the comment Now imagine a key object being able to control Live Distribute... We click the middle one to stay in place, resize the right edge with Space held, and the left edge gets shifted simultaneously, so that the middle one stays in place, while other objects move... to get the row shown at the bottom from the one at the top.
Ai underutilizes the key object paradigm greatly :(AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment The latest driver version is fine, but what exactly GPU model do you have?
I don’t see you specifying it — please provide the exact model.
Also: was it ever working for you with previous builds of Illustrator?

Ethan, can you check if this happens with the latest release (currently 28.5) or Beta?
Can’t reproduce it on Windows 10 machine, with either fresh or existing symbol, edited from a panel or from canvas.
