An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment In earlier versions of Illustrator, when the modern gradient annotator was introduced (CS4), we had only one shown when applying a gradient to a group of objects (or just a selection of objects).
The users wanted to see annotators for all of the objects in the selection: even if some are not filled with gradients, even if the gradient differ, even if they don’t match in lengths and angle.
This was a nice change (although sometimes it prevents from editing a similar gradients for an ungrouped selection of objects).I imagine something similar can be permitted for character in a text objects, which can be treated as special type of groups (if we look at the Appearance panel).
But seeing a bunch of annotators — one per each character! — would be a very difficult thing to manage! And separate annotators per character is probably the way it is going to be implemented, because this is how Ai treats gradient for groups :(So the current way of applying the gradient with a unified separate fill is a better way, actually — to my taste... I still upvote it, but this should be made VERY carefully.

Latest Beta Builds now allow to hide units for dimensions.
Toggle the option in the tool’s options dialog to force it for new objects, or disable it in the Properties panel for existing and selected dimensions.

An error occurred while saving the comment I remember telling about this before someplace else. I figured out then this is regulated with 'Highlights anchors on mouse over' option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section.
Somebody from the team told me 'this does not indicate the anchor is going to be selected, it just highlights points directly below the cursor'. Well, technically it is correct, and there can be many reason to know if there points buried somewhere below the art... but I too think it makes more harm than bring benefit.

97 votesHi Everyone,
We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 28.2.0 which is available worldwide now. Thanks for your patience on this.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
An error occurred while saving the comment Alejandra, the team is investigating the issue and is going to push the fix into the next Beta release. Stay tuned, please.
An error occurred while saving the comment Gulzar, that’s strange.
Can you please share a test file with this specific object with the pattern and the transparency mask included?
Which Export method are you using? (Illustrator offers many: Export As, Save for Web, Export Assets, etc).Also, please take a look at this particular report — is it something similar?
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42412372Does it differ if you are using the same exact mask but with a non-pattern object?
An error occurred while saving the comment A current workaround is to group an image before applying a opacity mask with the 'Clip' option enabled. For some reason it forces Ai to display the image as we expect it to.
Thanks to Junior Rocha for discovering the method.AdminEgor Chistyakov

http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42412372
Seems like it’s not :(An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm that. With Clip option enabled, an embedded image with an opacity mask applied vanishes on canvas. Same happens with Beta.
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting... Does it happen with this specific document and image only?
Does it matter if the image is linked or embedded?
Will it behave the same if you use a different color mode?
Any differences if you toggle CPU / GPU modes?
Can you share this test file here (nit the full document, only the meaningful part of it), please?
Also — which Ai build are you using? -

An error occurred while saving the comment As for now, only Dynamic Shapes Tool from Astute Graphics does this exact thing, with arrow keys specifically. And yes, three is a bare minimum, two point give way too non-circular circle.
As for the broken Round Corners effect — again, there are several third-party effects (all paid), and a bug report you can upvote:http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47649155AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Even with the installed extension from the Microsoft Store (https://adobe.ly/48GyoGR) I can’t place HEIC images into Illustrator, or open the attached document — I get an error, a dialog that offers me to install that very same extension.

You can now try the Star as a Live Shape in the latest Beta 28.3.0.47
Please test it and share your feedback on the tool.
An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator team is going to add a Star live shape: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32360224
No curvy sides though.Triangle you can create already, using a polygon with 3 sides. Same with octagons — create a polygon with 8 sides.
Partial circles would hardly ever be at separate shapes from the existing ellipse, which you can modify to be halves and quarters...If you need more shapes and more control over them, take a look at DynamicShapes plugin by Astute Graphics: it has hearts, gears, crosses, bubbles, etc.
An error occurred while saving the comment While Ai team takes its time, there is an external solution for this, Dynamic Shapes plugin form AstuteGraphics paid plugins pack. It has a lot of your examples included, but some are very specific. However, I believe you can request those from the developer. Worth trying a demo at least.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hala, have you tried to use Live Paint tool? It can effectively work as a bucket tool. It stays live until you expand it and allows you to edit lines of the painted artwork until that.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/live-paint-groups.htmlDoes it suffice? Please try and reply back.
If you know about it — please tell why you still want a bucket tool. -

An error occurred while saving the comment It seems like Ai tries to show you the stupide 'local / cloud save' dialog, at it fails to display its contents.
Unfortunately for us, the team decided to not mirror the option for us in Preferences... I will try to let them know. This it bad! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator does allow that.
Go to Preferences and disable Zoom with Mouse Wheel in General section to be able to use Alt+scroll to zoom.
You can also disable Animated Zoom in Performance section, to enable back the zoom-to-marquee mode.Does it work for you?
Or do you mean something else? -

Latest builds of Illustrator allow to edit most of created dimensions using Properties and Control panels.
The tool dialog sets options for new dimensions only and does not have a button to apply the set options to selected or all dimensions on canvas. If you wish to have a button like this in the dialog, please upvote this request.
If you have other weak points to point out — please comment or make a new request / report.
An error occurred while saving the comment Am I right thinking that you select some dimension objects, then press Enter (or click the gear button in the floating panel, or double-click the Dimension Tool button in the tool panel), and then try to edit some options in the dialog window, expecting these changes to apply to these dimensions you have selected?
As for the scale — there is a way to change the scale of these, so that all size are bigger or larger.
Please reply. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Sonoma, which MacOS version do you use?
Does it work better if you downgrade to a previous version of Illustrator — the earliest one the CCD allows to get?When you say you can’t access the tool panel — does it mean you can’t click it, or is it not visible, or something else?
Can you share screenshots of the artifacts you get on canvas you mention?
How much memory does Illustrator take specifically? -

An error occurred while saving the comment The trick I published below works much better in later versions.
You can apply a stroke to a clipping group with an ease and control the alignment directly form the Stroke panel. The Divide and Add effects are not required anymore, and holes are treated as expected.An error occurred while saving the comment Files
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a workaround I came up with, that solves this problem, almost completely, except for some minor limitations.
Please study the files attached.Some notes about the method:
1. Two Graphics Styles are created to apply these quickly.
2. You can't change the alignment when a style is applied, but can change everything else — color, weight, etc. This happens because
Ai doesn’t let us toggle the alignment, when a stroke is applied to a clipping group — even with this method. One part believes clipping groups can’t have aligned strokes (and thus Stroke panel has controls deactivated), but another part knows the stroke is aligned (and Appearance panel says so). That’s why styles were built using simple shapes.3. Divide effect should not remove empty paths in its options — otherwise the stroke won’t bound the clipping path itself — even when filled, the mask is considered to be empty by the effect.
4. No holes are possible with this method (see clip_stroke_inside-outside_hole) — you will see the background through them, but no stroke.
5. Method won’t work for clipped images, texts, meshes, blends, etc. Only simple graphics.
This is nowhere an ultimate solution, but a mere hack.
Please upvote the request to make it a legal proper functionality.
If I can come up with something like this, engineers at Adobe surely can do it better.AdminEgor Chistyakov

As far as I recall, applying a gradient to live text never worked in Illustrator. We have to create a separate fill first to that, in the Appearance panel — then it works (although the individual fills for character stay below and can be visible at the edges).
I tested it again to see if it works in multiple versions before 25 and could not find one.
I am merging this report into a general request to have a better way to do that (because it is possible in other apps without this special ritual! — Affinity Designer can do that, Corel Draw can, Inkscape...)
