An error occurred while saving the comment A similar problem with Live Paint:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37424191
Live Paint uses secret internal rounding to a pixel grid, and this leads to loosing precision. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ruy, actually, this is intended. Live Paint and Shape Builder both make tiniest simplifications to the art, for the sake of the speed. If you watch the original paper about Live Paint — https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1275808.1276415 — you’ll hear Paul voicing this out.
More of it, you can make a simple test to see Live Paint breaking the precision. Create a new document and choose millimeters as units (this is important). Create a simple rectangle that has integer dimensions and is placed perfectly on integer coordinates. Convert it to Live Paint object. Expand it. Check coordinates and dimensions.
This bug is less prominent for pixels and inches -based documents, because LivePaint rounds values to fractions of a point.But I vote because this drives me crazy. I believe that the algorithm can keep values and not ditch my data. Thank you for reporting it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I agree. Main reason I almost never use Live Paint except for rather freeform stuff.

Hi,
Can you please verify if this issue has been resolved with the latest AI version or not? (AI 23.0.2).
With Best Regards,
Raghuveer SinghAn error occurred while saving the comment Can you still reproduce this problem today?
Nothing crashes for me when I try...
If it does for you, please record a small video about this, to show what are your steps exactly (because these can be made with various methods). -

Hi David,
This happens, when you open some menu while a panel pop-up is still open. Since you had the fill popup open from properties panel, when you clicked on menu, so its grayed out.
You need to close the popup first to open the menu.An error occurred while saving the comment David, when I try this today, it doesn’t crash anything, so the issues is resolved — if it doesn’t crash for you as well, please check.
However, any click outside of the opened popup panel closes it first and doesn’t click anything it hit, including top menu. So the top menu just doesn’t unfurl.
This is a common behavior for all non-OS popup menus, and I hate it.So this happens for:
— Properties popups and dropdowns
— Control popups dropdowns (Global Edit Options, Color UI, etc.)This doesn’t happen for:
— Panels’ flyout menus (hamburger icon)
— Dropdown bottom buttons in other panels (like 'fx' in Appearance, Libraries in Swatches and Brushes panels, etc.) — these are handled by OS.Why Ai decided it should break the current OS standards (I speak about Windows ones) — a mystery.

An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder if this problem still happens with the recent version of Ai?
When I try to do it now, it just works. Perhaps it happens in a specific document only? Can you reproduce it from scratch? -

An error occurred while saving the comment True, freezes and then crashes.
This easily can happen accidentally, when using arrow keys in the input.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Does it work better with the previous build for you, like 29.5.1, or Beta (you can install it from CCD)?

An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm... All sizes showed under Print Document Profile have to have the same Color Mode, as these are based on the same file.
But we can create our own Document Profiles to allow this. Each one is just a file in folder Ai references when it creates a new document.
On Mac these live here: MacOS <user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator <version>/<locale>/New Document Profiles/
Create a copy of one, open it, make changes you need (including adding presets you need). Sadly, it won’t show up in the top row if you are using the modern File New UI — that’s one of the main reasons I don’t like it — but it should be there in legacy File New or in More Settings dialog (basically the legacy File New). -

Beta 29.8.0.43 now supports snapping when rearranging selected artboards: Smart Guides, Snap to Grid, Snap to Pixel.
Please try to update and test it.
An error occurred while saving the comment Snapping is here!
Needs thorough testing.
Notice, especially when using Snap to Pixel, that if your artboards sizes are not integer, this rearrangement would snap only the first one to the grid, while others would respect the chosen gap. Feels honest, but perhaps some would expect each one to be placed on a grid, to avoid extra pixel added when the size gets rounded (please take a look at this old bug report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/30992416)We do have 'Align selected art to pixel grid button', and it works for artboards, but it also changes the sizes of them, making them fully snap.
What do you all think about it?An error occurred while saving the comment Viviane, in Creative Cloud desktop application navigate to Apps, pick Beta category at the top, find 'Illustrator (Beta)' and install it. Be warned — .ai files would start to open with it, as the latest one installed. It should not alter any other settings of the main build.
An error occurred while saving the comment I love the statement, a workaround is not the same a function...
This report is similar to that request:
"Align Artboards to nearest pixel" or "Rearrange selected artboards" to avoid extra pixel on export.
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44429721...but not enough to be merged, I think.
An error occurred while saving the comment It won’t be needed if the main problem gets fixed:

Please vote there.However, I like the feature as a separate thing.
There are several script solutions to pin objects and their points to the grid, but nothing specifically for artboards. Voted!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback. I’m closing it then for now.
Please leave another comment if anything changes.An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t replicate it with 29.6.1 on Windows 10...
The progress bar indeed says it processes each artboard, but in the end I get the only file with chosen artboard as pages in it.
Does the issue stay when you Reset Preferences? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I can reproduce this problem in Beta.
White objects become invisible with the simulated color paper with CPU Preview.
Please share some specs about you OS and hardware, as well as the details about GPU going disable — when it happens, how often, etc., so the team can try to look into it.An error occurred while saving the comment This makes sense... the team has made some changes recently, and these are for the good (I hope) — we can now assign background colors to artboards (in Beta for now), so in most cases we won’t need to simulate color paper (since it has a totally different purpose — partially explaining why whites become invisible...) — here’s the request you can watch and leave comments within: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31386253
Perhaps some prep work already got pushed into 29.7... however, I should inform the team.
Thanks!An error occurred while saving the comment Please share some screenshots.
Do you mean you start seeing transparency grid instead of white?
Does this effect stay when you toggle CPU Preview?
Can you please share some more details about your hardware and OS? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Praneet, there is a faster method — using Recolor. Take a look at the GIF attached.
You don’t have to create solid swatches first, you can tweak one in the dialog.
Please drop a comment if it works for you. -

1. Draw a stroke with the brush and select it.
2. Change the opacity of it as you want it to be
3. Open Appearance panel
4. In the panel’s flyout menu, disable New Art Has Basic Appearance option — this would make each new object created to inherit all the appearance settings (including the opacity set).
An error occurred while saving the comment Actually, after reading this once again, I think there is a way to do exactly what you need.
1. Draw a stroke with the brush and select it.
2. Change the opacity of it as you want it to be
3. Open Appearance panel
4. In the panel’s flyout menu, disable New Art Has Basic Appearance option — this would make each new object created to inherit all the appearance settings (including the opacity you set, which is considered to be a part of 'complex appearance').The recipe is 6 years late, I know :) but perhaps it can still serve you.
An error occurred while saving the comment To affect an opacity of a layer, you should open Layers panel and target the layer by clicking a small round marker next to its name. Then set the opacity you want in Transparency panel — it will be applied to the layer itself.
That is not very intuitive at first, but becomes very clear after you get it.
But still there is a room to improvement.

An error occurred while saving the comment Rurik, did you mean 'artboards' when you request it, or 'layers'?
I can imagine how numbering of artboards works, but not layers — please share more about this.An error occurred while saving the comment I have a working although a bit tedious way to number an existing set of artboards. They won’t update themselves, as one can expect from auto-numbers, but it’s simple enough to repeat, if all numbers have the same appearance.
1. Create a '1' text and place it in a position you want your numbers to occupy on the first artboard.
2. Group it and isolate the selection. Now you have your text in isolation mode and nothing else would be selected in next steps.
3. Select All and Ungroup it. Now that temporary group used to be able to isolate a text object is gone.
4. Cut the text
5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V (Windows) or Edit > Paste on All Artboards. Now we have 1-s at every artboard.
6. Select all
7. Run the attached script (rename it from .txt to .jsx). It takes the first text object in the selection and increment the next one by 1 for the whole range.
Now you have all your artboards numbered. You can now group the objects to easily access them later.
It can be automated with an action. A workaround, but a working one!
Please comment back if it works for you.AdminEgor Chistyakov

The issue no longer happens in the latest Beta build
An error occurred while saving the comment OK, another question then... does this happen with CPU Preview?
And again, if you have 29.6.1 installed — does it happen there?An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, what about other methods to zoom in? Opt+wheel? Just the wheel, when 'Zoom with Mouse Wheel' option is enabled in Preferences > General? The actual separate Zoom tool, picked from the toolbar (Z)?
What about the general 29.6.1 build — does it do the same? Please try to test it.
I assume you have 'Anchor Points in Selection Tool and Shape Tool' option enabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, to see anchors when using bounding box with Selection tool?
Even with this on, I can’t make it happen, anchors don’t drift away...
Please remind me of your OS and hardware specs.
