An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Makes sense.
A workaround with custom written script comes in mind... the one that would create actual rectangles and keep them selected for easy deletion... After all, I already use scripts to export stuff often. But that’s not a universal solution, but just a workaround.

An error occurred while saving the comment Am I getting this right — you want to have a built-in way to set the color of the canvas, visible in exported images without artboards included?

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a dedicated feature request about an ability to select all the objects Global Edit finds:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38097442Would you mind me merging this request into it?
I share a workaround there in a comment you can use to still do what you want.
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a way to workaround this:
1. Show All
2. Start Global Edit
3. Hide Selection
4. Show All
Works also with Lock instead of Hide.
Unfortunately, requires nothing useful hidden and locked for it to work.I thought about a simpler trick, with Global Edit, Delete, Undo, but it does not work for this... but it works as intended, really, dropping a Global Edit mode on undo would be a not healthy thing!
And this means there is a way for a script to do this job. Will see how it goes.
An error occurred while saving the comment There should be also a way to convert these pseudo-symbols into real symbols: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35768314

An error occurred while saving the comment Please also add caption to this command. It's quite difficult to notice at Control panel.
Also, just give us a way to add captions to any command there. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jessie, there is a way to create these — the Polygon Tool. Lower the number of sides to 3, and that will give you the perfect equilateral triangle, with no extra points and self-overlapping. Does this work for you? Please comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, am I correct saying this happens when you open the files from the Explorer, but doesn’t if you use File > Open or Recent?

Mockup feature is now included in latest Illustrator releases
An error occurred while saving the comment Gabru, on your screen it is shown, but disabled.
I am guessing you have only the image selected and nothing else, correct? Otherwise the contextual taskbar would have shown Group button, and not the Image Trace one, like you has.
Mockup feature works differently. You either have to select both the art you want to put on the image, and the image itself, or open the dedicated Window > Mockup panel and have the art only, to apply it to one of the supplied images in the panel’s gallery.
You can read more about the workflow here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-art-mockups.htmlPlease comment back if it works for you.
On the other hand, I really wish to know why were you thinking you need only the image selected... how did you expect it to work?An error occurred while saving the comment Ganesh, this is the Beta feature and it is available only in the Beta version of Ai for now. Are you using the Beta version (available from the Beta section in your CCD app) or the main release?

An error occurred while saving the comment Huh, I completely missed it. Alas, the site is down. Ai, however, is still up. Hm...
An idea is an interesting one, and I bet a lot of folks would love to play with it, but after 5 years since the post there are other methods and tools available — and little demand expressed here at UV...
Voted, since I’d love this to exist. Still, what was the request? 'Make this from the box'? 'Look what I made?' -

An error occurred while saving the comment 1. Can you please share the test file with these two shapes? If no — can you show screenshots of the Appearance panel for the target object selected, both before and after sampling?
2. If you open the Eyedropper Tool Options dialog (by pressing Enter while the tool is picked, or by double-clicking the tool’s button in the toolbox) — do you have all the options checked, including both Appearance ones? Does the behavior differ if you leave them disabled? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nestor, you can close it using View > Perspective Grid > Hide Grid menu command, or by closing the widget with small X button, WHILE having Perspective Grid Tool picked up.
Do these methods work? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I’ve checked this in Corel Draw and Affinity Designer as well.
Both ignore spaces! So I think it should be a new default even (I know, scary...)An error occurred while saving the comment When Ai does not ignore the space in the end of the line, we are forced (I am!) to strip these in the end of each line when we split text into sections (just to make sure the spacing would be correct). It means that when we reshuffle text, we had to add spaces back. And Ctrl/Cmd-arrows put the cursor after the space, so this constant add-delete routine is error-prone.
I’d say LTR should ignore spacing added the right end, while RTL should do the vie versa, correct.
And (both 'alas' and 'sure') Ai has to give it as an option, because I can imagine some folks are just used to that and imitate wrapping with these, or something else... Tabs, as we know, are extremely broken for non-left text alignment, and Text Wrap is somewhat undiscoverable (and is pretty slow sometimes, compared to InD’s one).AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Is this still an issue?
If yes, can you please check the Eyedropper’s settings and see if it has top two (or at least one) 'Appearance' checkmarks set?
If yes, please try to disable them, try again and comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a beautiful free script that allows to do exactly this:
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#resizetosize
The idea with the eyedropper to do that is interesting, but I myself rather prefer the dedicated Copy/Paste commands, or an option in the Transform Each dialog, or a Match Key Object approach... Eyedropper is a complex tool for many to learn (and quite problematic!), and I am afraid this would make it even more unstable.These are the related requests:
— Match Width or Height to Key Object — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35740054
— An ability to resize all selected objects to a specific size — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33252640 -

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed. A sourced image don’t have any font, so no font should be forced on the text. For some reason the font size is forced to match the one that the last created text had, stored within the Character panel. Very peculiar!

An error occurred while saving the comment What Illustrator actually does is applying a default text size, defined by the current document profile’s [Normal Paragraph Style]. These settings are stored within the Paragraph Styles panel.
One can change this style for each profile (these Print, Web, Mobile, Film & Video, Art & Illustration) by editing the actual file Ai uses, for each profile.
There is an article on how to modify these and create your own: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.htmlThe idea to automatically scale the font of the default preset relative to a document’s size (or a screen size)... well, it conflicts with the absolute nature of presets and styles.
Could work, but rather dangerous!
Even if this gets given as an option to us one can enable — users who doesn’t know about it won’t discover it, and those who know how document profiles work, don’t really need it...
And if it gets enabled by default — wow, this would break everything! 'Why my styles are not respected for new documents'?
...people can’t discover how to enable bounding box back if they accidentaly hit Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B, and this option would be even harder to teach and learn. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Leana, can you please elaborate the 'hard-press' part? Do you mean a 'spring-loaded' approach, so that the tool gets switched back to the previously used after you click something to pick the attributes? Or do you mean something else?

An error occurred while saving the comment I see the problem, yeah. This is how it works now:
If you have one text (A) selected (as a whole object, not a text selection) and click some other text (B) with the tool (specifically one character) — this character’s parameters gets applied to the WHOLE selected text A, to all its characters. Remember — the text is basically a special type of group, with glyphs arranged. A color of a clicked character is a part of the Character Style, along with a dozen other parameters... And the tool does not allow to choose which ones we can pick and apply.
Again — it’s a nice request! I upvoted it back then in 2021. Nine votes though is not much... Hope this gets more.
I wonder if we can solve it with scripts...An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, sadly it is not possible now :( 'Character Style' option for the Eyedropper tool includes both font and glyph color. So you have to select font and its other options manually, I afraid.
So yeah, a nice request. More text options for the Eyedropper.An error occurred while saving the comment I am afraid it is not possible.
Or I just do not understand the problem. You want to copy appearance per word and apply it to another text, using Eyedropper? Can you provide screenshots, before/after? -

Yeah, these glitches still happen... just in case please share your current specs and share some screenshots.
Sonoma is told to be a cursed build, causing way too many problems for Illustrator. Not that these particular ones would have not existed, but just statistically.
Illustrator was developed when processor were single-core. To make it see more than one is to completely rewrite it — potentially lethal for the app! So the team decided to approach this gradually, adding support for newer modules and steadily reworking older ones.
As for the UV’s site and Safari — can’t even test it, sorry.An error occurred while saving the comment Turn off GPU preview.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, I can easily replicate this. Thank you! I’ve cropped the video and attached as a GIF to the original report.
It feels that something is wrong with the parsing of the value, thanks to the parenthesis... Ai should ignore it and read the actual value, but I suspect it tries to respect it and skips the whole range of numbers. Very trippy!Funny thing is — if instead of the arrow buttons clicking you set the cursor in the field and press Up and Down keyboard keys — the bug doesn’t happen. Same goes with hotkeys for leading... And this is how I’ve been changing these forever. Now, when I’m thinking about it — that’s perhaps why. Maybe I discovered it in past and learnt to workaround... Anyway — huge thanks for the help with it.
An error occurred while saving the comment The video didn’t get attached, but I get the idea.
Can you please go to Preferences > Type and check the Size/Leading parameter, just in case, — what value do you have there?An error occurred while saving the comment Yep. It should result the same as hitting physical Up/Down arrow keys.

Exactly.
That’s why when multiple Artboards were introduced and Release Artboard command was removed, I had to make a small script that does it.
It allows to create an artboard sized rectangle, either for the current artboard only or all of them at once.
That’s why I presumed a script can be built, since I made one already :)
But I don’t have time to modify it to fit your task perfectly, since it needs to read a color from swatches it will use for the 'canvas' background.
Anyway — feel free to use and modify it. If you do change it — please share it, so others can benefit from it.
Just rename it from .txt to .jsx (UserVoice does not allow to share naked scripts for security reasons)
