An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Landon, it’s easy to do right now.
1. Type some text.
2. Change the color (you can also can change font, text size, anything).
3. Open Window > Type > Paragraph Styles panel
4. Notice it has [Normal Pargraph Style]+ in it — with a plus in the end, meaning it’s been modified compared to the default settings
5. Click the hamburger button in the top right corner to open the panel’s menu, choose Redefine Paragraph Style
Done! Now every new text you create in THIS document will use the paragraph style you just defined.If you want to change it for every NEW document, you’d have to do the same for the document profile file Ai uses to base new documents upon. These are different: Prin.ai, Web.ai... Ai now displays them as categories in modern File > New dialog, but actually these are document profiles.
You can read more about the procedure here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.html
Once you learn how it’s done — it’s rather easy and logical.Please comment back if the method works for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tyler, yes. Currently Export As format stays sticky in one session across documents opened, but doesn't stay sticky across different app sessions.
The team is evaluating the fix and will let us all know how and when they will ship it.
Thanks for requesting this and don’t hesitate to upvote, request, report more. This helps to drive the app where we all need.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mind me changing the topic of this request to 'Allow us to choose a preferable file format on Export or keep the last chosen one' then?
An error occurred while saving the comment Steve, Ai allows to assign a custom hotkey to a majority of menu commands, including Export As.
But you mean you want to call for the Export As AND to automatically choose some other filetype, is it correct? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Sean, sorry it took it so long to answer.
I suspect that the problem is about GPU rendering, because it is known to produce faster results with some tolerance in calculations.The thing you are referring is called an edge, right? You can also disable them by Ctrl+H.
So, please:
1. Try to disable GPU (Ctrl+E by default) it and check if it gets better
2. Attach a file and and the screenshot of exact area of it for the team to checkAn error occurred while saving the comment Sean, I guess it would help a bit if you tell how exactly you create or move these shapes and how do you use guides in it. It's not obvious :)

An error occurred while saving the comment What I observe in the attached image is called anti-aliasing.
This is a way any raster image (and Ai has to rasterize anything when displaying it on a monitor) uses shades of color, applied to pixels, to mimic the gradual incline of a line or a curve. The larger pixels you have (that is a lower display or print resolution), the more visible it becomes. HiDPI or 'Retina' displays have higher resolution (smaller pixels), and these 'staircases' become less visible.You can read more about anti-aliasing anywhere, including Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-aliasing_filter)
However, it’s true that Ai’s anti-alising algorithms are pretty rough. Shades often clustered too much in banded strips... GPU mode can be especially crude.
An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator’s antialiasing was always that harsh and crude, compared to other vector apps, like Xara, for example.
There is nothing really can be done to mitigate it, except for trickery — try to cast the Rasterize effect on the art, with a larger resolution value, and then export the document normally. Or you can just directly export the image larger and then resize and resample it with an external app.
I agree this is not convenient, and I surely vote for this.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry, don’t get it. You say something is bugged, but don’t provide anything to help to fix it.
No reports and no votes — no bugfixes. In most cases the team doesn’t even know something is broken, until we report it.Yes, please log every bug separately.
Many bugs are already reported — the service will show you the list of fitting existing entries while you type in a new header — please upvote them as well. Don’t hesitate and don’t hold yourself. If something is important — scream it out loud, it’s the space for it. But with proof, evidence, and test files, otherwise it won’t work.An error occurred while saving the comment Volkan, please tell more about clipping working wrong. So far it’s nothing to investigate, and in my daily work it behaves as normal.
Can you record a video, share a test file, provide some steps to reproduce it, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment John, I don’t recall it working ever., and I never heard anything mentioned by the team. Will recheck though...
Yes, there are two options buried in the Align panel’s menu, Align to Glyph Bounds > Point / Area Text, but these only make Ai treat live text by their actual visible bounds, as if they were outlined. This is definitely not the thing requested, it’s almost the opposite of it :)An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, CorelDRAW allows to choose the first or the last baseline when aligning text.
Illustrator today can do these only interactively, with Snap to Glyph enabled, and only for point type objects (to avoid clutter) — or using even older methods witt outlined duplicates.
No way to enable anything in the Align panel and use buttons :(An error occurred while saving the comment Hey, meanwhile Sergey Osokin wrote a free script that allows to align and distribute text objects based on their baselines!
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Text.md#aligntextbaselineAn error occurred while saving the comment My pleasure, John.
But I have to clarify again — it’s not the real solution to the topic of the report (which should be converted into a request).See, without any of two Align to Glyph Bounds options checked Ai will align them using their 'Em Boxes', that it with the space for ascenders, descenders, side-bearings. The distribution and alignment worked in my example because these lines had the same font size.
If you make one type object larger — it won’t work like I demoed anymore, since 'boxes' are now of different sizes!(the apps I use to record GIFs are www.cockos.com/licecap/ and blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/ — not an ad, just wanted to share)
An error occurred while saving the comment @John, @C, I can’t say it does not work for me.
On the contrary, the text objects (with or without prominent descenders) gets aligned and distributed as I expect them too.
Can you please record the way it works for you and compare with my GIFs below. Am I getting this wrong?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, you can send files directly to the team if you want to, via sharewithai@adobe.com
Please put the link to this report so they can track it (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48915692)An error occurred while saving the comment I tried to do this, and got an error message, 'An unknown error has occurred'. Nothing about insufficient memory though.
A file saved in CS1 format opens just fine. Tried saving in CS3, and it gets imported with a warning, but works, no error.An error occurred while saving the comment Does it happen for any file at all, even a simplest one with a rectangle in it?
I don’t have access to CS2 right now, so can’t immediately check it myself. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure if I get the reply... 'No' means 'no, all bleed values are zero and guides are disabled' or is it 'no, it’s exactly this, but...'?
How do you create these documents? Please describe in steps, what document profile is used (displayed as categories in modern File > New dialog), or share an existing document you have the problem with.An error occurred while saving the comment Ricardo, please check two things:
1. Go to File > Document Setup and see what values do you have in 4 Bleed fields.
2. Go to View > Guides, and try to toggle Show / Hide Guides command.
This 'rose frame' is the special guide showing the bleed, a special extra, designed to be trimmed to finals when printing.
It seems like the document you have is based on one which has the bleed set up.
Please comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment In Ai... well, the Recolor 'panel' (that modal abomination — but not the full dialog!) has Color Theme Picker button, which should do a similar thing... but it seems to be broken for me (at least in Beta) and does nothing when I click it — cursor does not change, nothing get picked.
And surely I have a bunch of objects selected and try to recolor them. It’s flipped upside down in Ai, it’s not the image is selected so I can extract the color FROM it, but objects, that I have to apply this extracted theme TO — before actually making sure it’s the one I like. I hate gambling in pro tools.
An error occurred while saving the comment Desktop Ai now follows the iPad version rather strangely. I believe that their Advanced Recolor pseudo-panel is modeled on tablet analogue, and on iPad it behaves like this because iPad decided that a tablet should only have something as a tool if only it creates something on a canvas. Color Theme Tool is obviously not a tool that creates something and they decided to follow this thread to be consistent across two Illustrators, rather than respect consistency across other desktop apps.
I don’t agree with this and agree with you. Voted -

An error occurred while saving the comment @Son, @Siobhain, Illustrator nowadays have bulleted and numbered lists. Clunky AF, but it’s there.
Hardly as simple to set up as in InD, but doable.
What would you like to improve?AdminEgor Chistyakov

I totally get it, and I can’t really tell how to break this paradigm gently enough.
The color of a text object is controlled by the style.
Overriding the style, but only by color (leading, font family, size, kerning) seems like a useful thing, but then again not exactly consistent. People don’t know how to bring a bounding box back, and this option, wherever it’s put, can be too well-hidden to discover it or to toggle it back if you forgot about it being enabled... something similar to Paste Remembers Layers, or Use Preview Bounds.
I can’t say I’m scared of it :)
Where would you put it, this option? How would you call it to make people understand what it does?
