    What’s a point in having an access to a cloud if it can’t be used to backup and restore my settings...
    Guess who solved this problem recently? Astute Graphics, with their https://astutemanager.com
    Only actions require loading them manually (well, it’s how Ai is coded, it seems), but everything else just appears instantly when installed via the manager.

    Dreamweaver is a great example of how an Adobe app can and should manage this: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/dreamweaver/using/synchronizing-dreamweaver-settings-creative-cloud.html

    Keeps settings as XML files.
    Has a dedicated section in Preferences.
    Offers to pick data to be synced.
    Supports automated and manual modes.
    Manages sync conflicts.
    Not ideal — but it cares.

    Pierre, what version of Ai are you using?
    Can you share the file with the team, along with the images of the expected look of it?
    In Preferences, do you have 'Save in Background' option enabled in File Handling section? Does the behavior differ if you disable it?

    Whenever I enable any Pressure option for any of three parameters (even when the variation value is 0) for the Blob Brush tool, I notice the simplification seemingly doesn’t get applied to the result...
    And I don’t use a tablet pen, just a mouse at the moment.
    Can you confirm this?
    However, it doesn’t explain the problem with the variable width profile and the pathfinder (I’d like to get a test file with the original shapes and then processed to see the difference).
    Just in case — can you backup your Preferences, reset them, and compare the behaviors?

    The second one is a stroke with the variable width profile 2 applied, correct? This is not all what I get when trying to expand it in Ai 2026 30.0... Same deal with using the Blob brush...

    What are the same settings you used for both the Blob Brush strokes? Can you share a screenshot, please?

    At some point Adobe inserted a hidden simplification treatment before expanding variable strokes... it resulted in a slower speed, killing off the paired anchors, general smudginess... I raised it up several times, but it was not addressed.
    It seems like in your case this hidden simplification step just never happens.

    Paul, just recently Illustrator started to roll out the artboard background color feature, requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31386253
    If you assign one for the artboard with your artwork, it should get baked into the thumbnail. Would it work for you?
    I don’t think there could be a reliable model to make thumbnail differ from the content, only for white logos... I’d be worried why these differ :)

    No, Ken, we can still trigger this mode on the fly by tapping E key once after the marquee is started. The cursor changes, displaying square brackets underneath. Tapping E the second time while dragging disables it back. But tapping E is required each time you make a marquee — unless this permanent option is enabled.

    There are two things that bother me (OK, more):
    1. Once the permanent option is enabled, E should work the other way — temporarily disable the Enclosed mode... doesn’t happen
    2. In one of Beta builds there was a way to assign a different key to toggle the mode on the fly, and now it’s gone. So far it’s unclear why

    Smaller things:
    3. The cursor shifts 1 px down+right when Enclosed mode becomes active (for me, at 100% UI+OS scale) — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/48775478
    4. The scope is broken with it, and it still requires Group Selection while isolated in a group — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50688266

    @e.k. kuzey,
    at the moment Ai doesn’t have a mechanism to set hotkeys for items in panel’s menu and dialogs.
    It is planned, AFAIK. The main request about this is here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237

    To calculate the hit area of the text, Illustrator uses its 'em-box'.
    It’s rectangular container that fits each glyph, including ascenders and descenders (that is tails and necks of various 'g' and 'f'), and all the capitals and digits.
    This helps to not accidentally select stuff behind the text while accidentally clicking in the middle of something like 'O' or between letters.

    But the method has caveats.
    For some fonts these are quite huge. Even when a glyph doesn’t have anything protruding (like 'a' or 's'), it still has a box like other ones.
    The larger the text gets, the larger these blind spots become.

    So far there is not a solution to auto-shrink the hit area to each glyph’s bounds.

    The workaround though exists: enable 'Type Object Selection by Path Only' in Preferences > Type.
    Not the same thing at all, but a method still.

    I tested the shared 8904_250-f02-fbl-Charges.ai file, and this it what it does for me in both GA 30.0 and Beta 30.1.89, on Windows 10.
    With both Appearance options checked for Eyedropper, it picks and applies the individual character’s fill of the grayish source text to all the currently green characters of the target type object...
    Are you sure you have the exact same tool’s settings?

    @Akshaya, yes, there is.
    Holding Opt/Alt with Shift seems to be broken, again (not for me though):
    1. Older report 1, Holding Alt while dragging an object to copy / duplicate it doesn’t works: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32365747
    2. Older report 2, Alt-Drag to Duplicate (and Shift to align) Only Works Intermittently: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/31354873 (marked as fixed in 2020)
    3. Recent report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50612417

    @Jason, does your issue feel the same as in the video posted by Tay, here in the report above?

    I see!
    Please take a look at these two existing request:
    1. Use Key Object to allow precise control for in-back and in-front level changes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20554729
    2. The Ability to paste an object precisely where we want it to be in the layers panel — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41403613

    Also, perhaps these two amazing scripts could help?
    I have these assigned to hotkeys and use them daily, for the similar task you have:
    https://github.com/nimbling/Nimbling_Scripts#send-behind--bring-in-front-of
    The only problem with these is to know for sure which object is the selection is above.
    Other than that — these are amazing.

    Kait, if you select something and use Paste in Front/ Back, Ai would paste the clipboard contents in front of the topmost / at the back of the bottommost objects in the selection (if you have Paste Remembers Layers option disabled in the Layers panel’s flyout menu — it is disabled by default)...
    It fits the description you made, but I’m not sure it’s exactly what you meant... can you elaborate, please?

    Lawrence, in your CCD open Apps, and in the right Installed Apps column find the Illustrator version you need, hover and click 'More actions' (...) button. Choose 'Get add-ons', and then add the 'Mockup feature components'. Usually it should happen automatically when you try to create a mockup the first time, but something went wrong... Please comment back, no matter if it helps or not.

    Still doesn’t happen. Maybe it’s a file?
    Can you copy this circle into a new document, check if it still misbehaves there, and share this file here?
    UserVoice seems to experience problems with attaching .ai files for now, so please rename it into a .txt file to bypass it.

    Can’t reproduce it, perhaps something differs when I try.
    Can you please attach a test file and record a small video demonstrating the exact steps you try?

    This is strange... Can you please record a small video of how it looks?
    Do others cursors appear for other tools?
    If you double-click a type object with the Selection Tool — does it start editing the text?
    If you install a previous build of Illustrator — does it have the same problem?

    Here’s a script made by me and Sergey Osokin.
    Rename it from .txt. to .jsx after downloading.

    The script would process the whole document and do these things with clip groups found:
    1. Convert all filled clipping masks into filled compound clipping masks — it would make them clickable and draggable
    2. Move all filled compound clipping masks to the bottom of their groups — this would fix the problem with them being moved to the tops of their clip groups and prevent selecting other children
    Compound clipping masks without fills are ignored, as well as unfilled clipping paths.

    Upvote this related problem to have it fixed someday:
