An error occurred while saving the comment Andreas, it’s a minor rendering issue.
These seams can appear or disappear, depending on the zoom level you have and the display mode you choose — CPU or GPU.
When it comes to exporting a raster image — these seams just vanish, since your dimensions are precise enough.It happens because of antialiasing math and rounding routines Illustrator does to quickly display stuff on screen. Exporting an image is a more precise operation, but takes more time. A compromise has to be made to ensure efficiency.
How does this affect your workflow though? Why it’s that important for you to not have these seams in every case?

There is a way to do the same exact distortion in Illustrator, using a free MeshTormentor plugin (please see the full instruction in the comments).
However, an easier native way to do it is still welcome (as the general improvements over mesh distortion capabilities) — so please keep voting for this if you want it to happen.
AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) supported this idea ·An error occurred while saving the comment This can be achieved in Illustrator using a free MeshTormentor plugin: http://meshtormentor.com
It’s the best way we users have so far to deal with meshes and distortions.Here’s how you can do it.
Take a look as the image and the document attached.1. Install the plugin and restart Illustrator
2. Draw a couple of circles to define your label’s edges
3. Delete invisible segment and join both edges into a single path, keep it selected
5. Open the MeshTormentor panel and click the 'Create one cell mesh' button (a black contour one, third row an third column from the top left corner). In this case it locates 4 points it needs just fine. In other complex cases you might nee to select 4 points you want to make into corners of your mesh manually.
You’ve got a mesh for the envelope!
6. Put the label art under the mesh, select both and run standard Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object command.
7. Sometimes it gets distorted from with an angle you don’t expect — it depends on the direction and the starting node of the mesh. It’s easy to fix — click the 'Rotate or reflect grid direction' button (with a large blue circular arrow, the second one in the bottom row) — in this case once.
Done, you have your label.The plugin is very powerful and allow to do much more than any distortion in Photoshop. It has integrated hints, an online manual, and makes wonders when you master it. Again, it’s free.
Please comment back and ask question about this technique.

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 The most obvious explanation is the wrong document color mode.
'Bright' RGB swatches get duller when File > Document Color Mode is CMYK — because the range of the RGB color space is wider than the CMYK, designed for printing with process color paints.If this is the case — it is expected.
However, I can see quite vivid color swatches in the screenshot.
This can probably mean that swatches were double-converted? It can also be a straight bug, but the circumstances are unknown, therefore it’s tough to even start the investigation...
In any case, this needs more details and the exact steps to replicate the problem.Please comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment Rick, do you mean you first go to the Artboard Options first instead of the Document Setup first, and it irritates you when you realize you forgot to change local units and now you have to close one dialog and open another?
And therefore you propose to ignore the scope paradigm and allow to change units for the whole document from the local dialog?This will make it even more convoluted than it is now... Remember, there is another 'Units' parameter, a global one, in Preferences: Units, and it changes units across ALL opened document... and there are a lot of users who don’t even know about.
I understand the pain and the frustration it causes for you. Sadly, changing the units can’t be recorded as an action, and local units can’t be changed with a script — only manually...
So building a new habit seems to be the only viable workaround.Anyway, I vote for this, because this mess with the units doesn’t please me and I want it to be changed.

An error occurred while saving the comment How many Figmas does it take to kill Illustrator, Tilio?
Perhaps it’s just not the tool you need if you hate it so much? Since you are a UX specialist, perhaps Figma just suites you better?If you have some descent requests and reports about the current state of Illustrator — please share them. In other case — why do you bother at all coming here? Your experience could have helped to guide the tool instead of just posting abstract posts.
Please tell more about your thoughts ...just whining is not good enough to change anything :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Randy, not sure about the request.
Do you mean you want to design animated GIFs inside Illustrator (in this case there is another request for this, along with some existing solutions to achieve that), or do you want to have them played when they get placed in Illustrator? If yes — then why? Can you elaborate on the workflow you have to benefit from this, with examples?
Please comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nina, you’d have to elaborate on differences between Animate/Flash and Illustrator more to clarify the request. Illustrator already has the Blob brush and Isolate, similar to Flash, but perhaps you mean specific details that make a strong distinction for you as an artist?
What do you have in Animate that you look better and why?
How do you imaging in being integrated into Illustrator and why?
Please comment back.
Jens, please check your buffer settings in Preferences > Clipboard Handling — do you have 'Include SVG code' enabled in the 'On Copy' section? Does changing that make any difference?
If not — can you please install the previous version and check the same?
