An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, I see. Bevel has nothing to do with it, you just flipped it over on its head.
The object you are having has an ambiguous shape. Illustrator has to assume the start of coordinates, and it does not match the one you assumed.
Take a look at the image attached: I made a copy of your object and just rotated it. The original shape is now facing down, and the extrusion goes up. This makes the positioning of the pages correct, and the only thing you have to do is to change the order of mapped surfaces.An error occurred while saving the comment Please provide a test file.
I can see the image you posted at forums, but the whole conversation is does not provide much details on what is happening and what is wrong.
I guess you and Monika were talking about different means. Bevel has nothing to do with orientation of the mapped symbols.
Again — please start with showing the file. It can be a simpler file, with only this object within. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Claudio, which version are you using?
Does this happen while you drag only and gets fixed as soon as you release? Or does it stay like this, half-rendered, when you already stopped?
Have you noticed this happening while zooming in or out? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Gary, I like that. Definitely would love to be able to snap the gradient sliders live on canvas... but this can also be maddening for many folks who care less about this. I’d say this should be an option, and should be disabled by default.
An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile Astute Graphics came up with the Gradient Forge plugin that allows snapping stops to a chosen value: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, or 10% (amongst many other cool things). Plus it allows to snap directly to a middle of a distance between two stops.

An error occurred while saving the comment I don't need precision of two decimal places for gradient. I need integers. Now I have to use scripting to round values afterwards and it's not OK. Why Tabs has snapping to values and Gradients don't? Bring it!

An error occurred while saving the comment Max, what about the normal build — does it behave the same? or is it only in Beta?
Does this happen all the time when you modify a color?
Does it appear like this instantly when you pop the dialog, or it happens after you do something in it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see what you mean, Tom, and that's an interesting idea, 'zoom-indpendent text size'. But it will make the text size jump depending on your zoom level, and in some cases the sizes would be way too similar but still different, and this would spoil things, if not for you, but for others.
However, there is an intended way of solving this.
Open Window > Type > Paragraph Styles panel. Make sure you have [Normal Paragraph Style] there selected.
Create a piece of text, set the size you want to use (and font, if you wish to change it).
In the panel’s flyout menu choose Redefine Paragraph Style command.
From now on (in this specific document) all your new text will inherit the settings you specify in this style.You can also double-click the style and set the settings all at once.
If you wish to make it a default style for all the new documents, you should modify document profile files. A brief instructions can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.html
Does it help you in any way? Please reply.

An error occurred while saving the comment I see you have it in the Properties panel...
What happens when you open Transform panel? Does it have its filed disabled as well?
Does it happen for all objects or this one only? Only for text objects or shapes too? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. So you say it happens if you connect nothing to the laptop, before you connect the second monitor?
Have you tried to Win+Tab to see a hidden dialog?
What does Task Manager show, if you expand the Illustrator’s task?
Can you restore the app’s window using a Win+↓ hotkey and move it sideways (you can try to use Alt+ Space to call the window’s menu and pick Move there). -

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. 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.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghuveer SinghAn error occurred while saving the comment @Agape, this is not a 'clipping' mask, it’s and 'opacity' mask...
But true, this is a bug, and it has been fixed just recently: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42412372
Version 28.2.0 should have it fixed — please try it and reply if it works for you. -

An error occurred while saving the comment For now you can record these in actions and assign to F-keys (only)

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I get you.
The thing is that some apps steal hotkeys even when not in focus.
Especially it often happens for Microsoft apps, because of their deeper integration into the OS (and Microsoft bluntness).
Skype will still Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D when it’s launched (which is Transform Each in Ai by default), and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L is told to launch LinkedIn in Windows 11.You are in Windows 10 though... I checked the combination and it works for me, and launches Presentation mode.
Perhaps some other app steals it for you.
Try to close them one by one, using Task Manager if needed, to figure out which does.There are also some utilities that allow to display used hotkey for tall the apps... but the last time I used it, it make my machine freeze.
BTW I still can’t use Ctrl+Shift+0 (zero) for Expand... both in Ai and Ps (for another command). So I really mean I understand it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting... I know this sometimes happens with the recovered files, when Ai fails to restore embedded images.
Can you provide more details? What do you do, in what order specifically? Does it happen often? Is there an image that does this all the times you try to unembed it?
Where do you save one, how do you get it in Ai in the firsts place, etc. -

Alisha, what about the latest released version? Does it behave the same? Can you check it at your side, please, if possible? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Guides in Illustrator don’t behave like guides in InDesign. Guide in Ai are basically objects with a 'guide' flag (and any path can be turned into a guide, and not loose it’s attributes like stroke and fill even, they are kept when the guide is released).
A standard guide dragged from a ruler is not infinite, but is having a maximum artboard size: 2^14 points = 16383 (when counted from zero), which is almost 227 inches or 5776 mm...
When we drag a guide, Ai will ignore it moving outside of the canvas, keeping it within it.
But if you copy and paste a guide, selected with other objects... well, AI then HAS to respect its coordinates — and if a guide falls to far, the message is given.This is hardly fair and clear.
And several entries here at UserVoice ask to review guides:
1. Make guides to be like in InDesign: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37211029
2. Automatically push guides to a single layer: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36594571
3. But the opposite is true. At some point Illustrator stopped treating selected guides as objects when scaling a selection with the bounding box, and some users find it very inconvenient: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32888611It’d help to see the whole layout and details of the operation you are trying to perform.
Hope it helps. Please reply. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Aha, thanks for the clarification. I haven’t tried Moho and only watched some juicy condensed videos on how it works.
Well, hiding portions of a path is something we can do too, using Live Paint... but not with a Variable Width applied, only basic attributes hold on the elements of it.
As far as I remember, there were some explorations on the ...in-path editing, with multiple caps and joints per stroke (also requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39306955 and here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39038368), partial styling... not integrated deeply into Appearance though. So there are chances to get something like this.Meanwhile I encourage you to explore AG Utilities effects. These are paid, but they worth it.
Here I demonstrate the result of me using several effects combined to imitate the effect you are after.An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I like it. It reminds me of the quite new Extend Path effect by Astute Graphics... but here you control it on canvas (like their tool with the same name does), and it keeps the variable stroke applied visually unchanged (something no effect can do, as far as I know — but it needs clarification).
Can you tell which app did you use to record it? I can’t recognize it, and the cursor seems only partially familiar.AdminEgor Chistyakov

Yep, the bluish face it the top. But it does not mean the sides get oriented in a way that makes the sense in THIS particular rotation.
Check it yourself — choose Isometric Right (or the default Off-axis Front) and see how the C and other sided get oriented 'correctly'.
So what’s correct for one position in 3D, can be off for other angles. And the solution is to either rotate the shape how it makes sense for your current purpose, of rotate the symbols...
Classic 3D doesn’t offer rotation of the 3D pivot and probably never will... after all, Ai is not a a 3D editor.
