An error occurred while saving the comment Andrea, check you Eyedropper tool’s options (hit Enter while it’s picked or double-click the tool icon in the tool panel to access them).
Both Appearance options there should be enabled for the tool to pick and apply a brush stroke, since it’s considered to be a 'complex appearance' (along with arrowheads, multiple fills/strokes, width profile, etc.)
In 'basic mode', without these two checkmarks ticked, the tool picks only basic stuff — singular fill/stroke, dashes.
Does it work for you? Please reply. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a scripts for this, made by Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso:

Well, we have only that much modifier keys :) I’d rather prefer it work for selection tools only than not having the feature at all.

An error occurred while saving the comment Sergey Osokin wrote a small script to help you with this:
https://gist.github.com/creold/9d4432746cd0342e0b952b3148706eeeIt pulls the selected objects out of their groups to their parent layers. Once it’s done, you can use the Send to Current Layer command to collect them in the selected layer.
Note that if some objects selected make up a totality of group, this group will be preserved (and I think it’s a proper behavior, since it keeps the user data as full as possible).
Please reply if it works for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment I see what is happening, Dustin.
You select children in a group, with Group Selection tool.
But the command won’t move these selected objects out of their container, it moves, but respects the structure. So it moves the parents of the selected objects, keeping groups intact.
I understand the problem, the command should be named 'Send Parents of Selected Objects to Current Layer', but it obviously won’t work.To do what you want to do, 'cutting, selecting the proper layer, pasting' should work, but you say it messes it up. How? Can you demo it or at least describe? Video is surely better.

An error occurred while saving the comment This should happen when profiles mismatch, unless you disable warnings and stop caring about inconsistencies and color conversion that might and will happen. Please check Edit > Color Settings, check options below, and disable those warnings you find useless.
But I’d rather checked the assigned profiles for both files with Edit > Assign Profile, and decided which one you want to use across both.
Please reply back on how it goes for you. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Somewhat similar to a problem I remember some Photoshop users were having quite recently, with the new interpolation engine... which is absent in Ai though.
Can you provide a test file and a screenshot of Color Settings in use? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Phil, yeah, even if you check the Remove Redundant Points option in Pathfinders’s flyout menu (which is useful in most cases), sometimes extra points still get created :(
But to deal with the issue globally, we have to show some specific cases with steps to reproduce the result, an a video evidence will help a lot to prove it happens.
And by 'Shaper' you probably meant the Shape Builder tool? Shaper is another thing, and I never saw it generating excessive points. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a paid commercial script which can help you with this, https://mai-tools.com/super-magic-eraser, created for stock designers.
It has some limitations, it won’t cut blends, live paint objects, brushes, symbols, live text, meshes, raster images, etc. All live strokes have to be expanded. But it deals with the most of the art just fine, you should try to use it.

An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, Jussi!
Yet another solution we can try to workaround this.An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, the link got broken. Perhaps Dropbox made some changes.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jrnmbo7t67iuvtx/Clip%20Image%20Crop.jsx?dl=1
Please try this one. Also share some feedback after you use the script.An error occurred while saving the comment OK, UV does not allow scripts, so here’s the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3a12zgdklj6hjog/Clip%20Image%20Crop.jsx?dl=1An error occurred while saving the comment Hey, Mark and others.
I asked Sergey Osokin (https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/) for help and after some fiddling with the script written by Carlos Canto we now have the script that does crop the image to the clipping mask — which is something I always wanted, so I’m pretty happy.The mask stays, the clip group stays, but the image is now cropped to have only pixels that fit into the mask’s bounding box.
The size of this image is obviously going to be slightly larger than bounding box (you can't cut a pixel). Sometimes you get an extra row/column, but you got to be lucky.
Transparency stays.
Resolution stays.
Position stays (oh, it took us some time to workaround).
If you crop an RGB image in CMYK workspace, it’d become CMYK — obviously, because it gets embedded if it was linked.Please try it out and share your feedback here.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oscar, yeah, I am seeing the problem and confirm it.
An error occurred while saving the comment If you want more automated solution, you can try https://mai-tools.com/super-magic-eraser commercial script. Hope this can help at least in some cases.
An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, can you illustrate it with a mockup?
What do you have, and what you expect to get?Oscar, you can Expand new Repeat objects, and it gives a clipping group. What do you expect to get then? Please elaborate.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, this is an extremely difficult task.
Remember, we can clip whatever we want. Gradient mesh grids, art with opacity masks, linked images, live text — how do you see the operation handling all of these?An error occurred while saving the comment That is because there is no such a thing as Apply Clipping Mask :)
You can clip art that is far away from being able to be cropped: meshes, linked images, live brushes, text... Crop is a destructive thing. Crop removes all live strokes form the objects within the mask and messes with order of objects. It’s NOT a Flatten Clip Path and is no meant to do it, it’s a basic boolean operation that occasionally works as it can substitute Apply Clipping Path absent command.
Unfortunately, there is no one, I wish we had though.
But there are script that try to substitute it, like Super Magic Eraser: https://mai-tools.com/super-magic-eraserAn error occurred while saving the comment Jotham, not exactly. Trim also destroys art in the middle of the mask, which should here stayed as it is.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jeremy, I am not exactly a support, if you meant me. I still try to help though, just because I hate loosing work and have some compassion for this and mostly anything involving Illustrator, since I am a user just like everyone’s here.
So you decided to delete your work. You could have checked how much free space you have before making such a step, but it was your choice. Who I am to judge? But have you tried to restore deleted docs? Check this place — https://assets.adobe.com/deleted, see if they still can be restored.
Then — when it is 'messing up' — what does it mean? Can you record a video of it? Can you give some more details instead of putting '...' ?
Please help me to help you. Your report is not helping to fix anything, to say the very least.An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean it always takes a lot of time at this specific step? How much does it take to complete it?

These it true only for dynamic symbols. If a symbol is static, it works like it is expected. Ai allows selection of sub-parts in a dynamic symbol, for changing their appearance, but no transformations are allowed, only visual tweaks... so I suspect the team forgot to check if a selection is a part of a larger selection, to allow the whole symbol to move. Or perhaps it was not as easy to detect. Either way it feels more like a bug.
