An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment As for the last Eyedropper question, there is a way to do it.
Press Enter when the tool is active (or double-click the tool button) to open the tool’s options. Then disable those attributes you do not want to pick and apply.
Do not forget to set them back once you are finished (easy to forget!)An error occurred while saving the comment Seb, one request per entry, please. UserVoice does not allow splitting :)

An error occurred while saving the comment I see. Now I can confirm it. Whenever you distort a selection with any mode of the Free Distort tool (except for just scale), objects get flattened in the current layer. Here is a simpler demonstration in the GIF attached.
I’ve checked this behavior in older versions: happens in CC2022, does not happen in CS5. So it got broken somewhere in the middle.
Thank you for bringing this up!
An error occurred while saving the comment This is something weird!
Can you please create a simple test file, record the problem on video, and share both the file and the video here?
Also provide the specs. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Alex, alas, I think it’s something Ai has no control over. This is handled by OS. It irritates me as much, but I think we should nag Apple and Microsoft about it :(

An error occurred while saving the comment Peter, when you do rename an artboard, do you see the 'Rename Artboard' step in the History panel? Do you see a small * (asterisk) after the document’s name in its tab?

An error occurred while saving the comment Yasin, from what I see in the GIF (and what I can verify), using the Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead — am I correct? I fixed the title.

Remaining issues are addressed in Beta build 29.2.0.10, Please try and add a comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, Matthew.
Calligraphic brushes suck.
The smoothing applied is highly inaccurate and aggressive.
Now, with Live Preview, we can see it very clearly. And it doesn’t help to have less points. A final result is almost always random and changes sporadically, like the GIF attached shows. Hardly fixed... although, to be fair, I test this with 29.1 Beta, not 29.2.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several ways to align points to an angle...
I’d use this method (please watch the GIF attached).
1. Create a line to define an angle (it’s not really needed, I just added it to better explain the method)
2. Disable all snaps except for Smart Guides
3. Select the objects
4. Pick Rotate tool and click once into the first point of the line to define the center of rotation
5. Grab the last point and move your cursor into the first one and a bit to the right, if necessary, to let the selection rotate to have the line become horizontal; remove the line
6. Select only points you want to align
7. Either click Align to Key Object button in the Align panel to use the point closest to the start of the path in your selection, or — like I did — Shift-click a point to remove it from selection and Shift-clikc again to add it back — Ai automatically picks the last selected point as a key object
8. Align the selection horizontally
9. Select the whole path
10. Opt/Alt-click the path into the original point of rotation with the Rotate tool
11. Negate the previous value, comit.
Done.
Not as long as the description takes.Ideally, Align should have worked with the rotated view...
But it doesn’t, even with Constrain Angle set to counter-compensate it (and there is request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44001624), and we don’t have a way to quickly rotate view to an angle of a line (but we can copy the angle of the live line and paste it into the Rotate View field).An error occurred while saving the comment Can you provide an example how should it work?

An error occurred while saving the comment A related request:
New document without symbols, brushes, graphic styles
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39753427An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, I know how you feel exactly, and the topic is very common.
But Illustrator actually offers some legal ways to workaround these.Open the New Document dialog and scroll down the right column.
Press More Settings button (is actually open the 'legacy' File New dialog).
In this dialog open up the Profile dropdown. Press Browse at the very bottom.
This will open the Select File dialog. What interest us is the actual folder Illustrator uses to store these document profiles.
These are universal templates that contains all the garbage swatches, styles, symbols, etc, — and you can modify these to delete the fluff and add your own presets.
So — grab the file path. On windows it’s something like this:
C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings\[LOCALE]\x64\New Document ProfilesClose all the dialogs (I merely wanted to show you the long way to discover these).
Open the folder in the explorer.
Open Print.ai or Web.ai
Delete all the presets you don’t want to keep (Illustrator has a default action to delete all unused presets — )
Add those you need to use.
You probably won’t be able to save these files directly into this folder, so save them as copies (and backup! — Illustrator has a stupide habit of updating these every major update!) and then paste them over the original ones.
You can also add your own profiles, but it’s hard to pick then using the modern New Document dialog.
Done — all new files will now use presets you added into document profiles.So actually you request is already completed, it’s just it’s now exactly easy to discover.
Same instructions one the Help site: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.htmlPlease reply back if it works for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment A related request:
Default Swatches and Styles as part of New Document Dialog
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46925746An error occurred while saving the comment Ai allows users to get rid of this fluff.
To do that you have to locate document profiles files (search for. Print.ai and Web.ai to locate these).
Open them and clean all the garbage you don’t need. Save.But! When Ai updates it replaces these with default ones, so keep your copies elsewhere...
or record an action that Selects All Unused for every panel and run it when you want to clear fluff (the way I use for now).
But yeah, I don't like these presets too. They do teach new users about possibilities, but have no purpose for experienced users.

An error occurred while saving the comment Affinity does the same thing...
An error occurred while saving the comment Affinity Designer allows something very similar with a dedicated 'Transform Objects Separately' button in their version of Control panel.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, this can be an option.
Today we can do this numerically with Object > Transform > Transform Each dialog, but not with a tool interactively.
Do you often need to have free rotation for multiple objects? Does the dialog way with Preview option on works for you? -

2. Add an option to measure gaps between objects in Objects on Path by their bounds, not between centers — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48987905An error occurred while saving the comment Agree!
For me it jumps with 1 pt step, not even a half a point.
And actually it jumps for me in with 0.35 mm step, because the team believes everybody in the world uses fraction of an inch, and PostScript’s points, being the foundation of Ai, should also be a it’s rigid coffin. I do not care about points, and don’t want to see them anywhere.
I suggested having a slow drag mode, so we can hold Cmd/Ctrl while dragging the slider, to make it go with 10 times smaller increment. Ideally, the value should be customizable (if not from within the UI, bowels of Prefs file will do).
And surely we just need a filed somewhere as well to edit the value directly, or even a way to double-clik the slider handle to enter it right there on canvas.

An error occurred while saving the comment Steven, in Save As dialog for SVG please click on the More Options button in the left bottom corner and check the number of Decimal Places you have there. If it’s something like '2', make it something like '7' instead. This value control s the precision Ai uses to write down coordinates of points.
SVG’s intent is Web, and of a fixed screen size in most cases, so controlling the size of the file and the precision required is necessary for web graphics.
Settings for Export As are slightly different and don’t get synchronized with Save As, so that’s why results can differ.
Please comment back if changing the value fixes it for you. -

The fix is pushed to the stable release 29.0.1.192
An error occurred while saving the comment Rasmus, I am just a user, and I feel as enraged as anyone who comes here sometimes. Ai is a flawed tower of bugs, and you don’t have to remind me of it :)
What I see is that you have Construction Guides disabled. These apply when you draw a NEW object (according to the manual, https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/rulers-grids-guides-crop-marks.html)
What you see when you edit a path like you showed previously, are guides for Transform Tools — since you transform the path. If you uncheck the Transform Tools option, you won’t see 45° angles.Why can’t we customize angles for object guides? Well... there are related requests, but it seems not that much people upvote them:
1. More fields to Smart Guides angles — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48960053
2. True customizable drawing 'angles' for all tools when using SHIFT key (pen, pencil, brush) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48073562
3. Smart Guides and the Rotate Tool: Incremental Rotation Angles — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39621259An error occurred while saving the comment Rasmus, the fix works, because it restores the previous behavior.
The extension of curved segments never worked in the first place, so we can’t expect from a 'fix' to introduce it :)
And 45° and 90° smart guides are nothing 'new' and were there for much longer, before 'Line Extension' even happened...But if you wish for a 'Line Extension' to be a general 'Path Extension' (something it never was, and is a good thing to have), you can upvote a corresponding feature request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39843283
An error occurred while saving the comment The proposed fix is not good and does not match the behavior we had before.
The tolerance the guide uses to allow the sliding is MUCH smaller with this fix than it was before.
Take a look at these two GIFs attached: one is from Ai CC2018 (v22.0.0), when the guide is stable and the tolerance allows to move a point almost continuously, and the other one from PR v29.0.1.192, with the guide blinking, and precise sliding required.Not fully fixed.

Clif, actually, some users on Mac hate this behavior, when a value gets scrolled unintentionally when they hove over the fields.
