An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, I totally get it.
Simplify ignores point selection when 'Convert to Straight Lines' is checked (should be a report, I think), and all segments of the path become straight, even if we select specific points of a path.
So for the partial selection the 'Auto-*Simplify method remains' the fastest one... but it requires us to select these points first (with the star-t and endpoints!), and it likes to add handles, so it remains a weak method.Pathfinder Add method, as noticed, works great only for closed and non-self-intersecting paths....
So for now it’s either plugins or scripts. I tried to resurrect the script I mentioned using LLMs, and it seems to perform well:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/quswu73rrbiuskp51njms/Iron-Straight-Points.jsx?rlkey=79044v9k98amewj5k9sovqwf3&dl=1
Please try it and see if it fails at any point or underperforms.An error occurred while saving the comment You can try to use Object > Path > Simplify for this.
In most cases it’s able to detect unnecessary anchors with its Auto-Simplify mode. If it keeps some, pressing the 'Advanced Panel' button (the 'gear one) in the floating bar would allow you to enable 'Convert to Straight Lines' — with 1° for Corner Pont Angle Threshold it’d purge these rather effectively.
Please try the method and write back if you find it failing for you. Please note this can be recorded into an action, and applied rather swiftly.There’s a report about sometimes Simplify method isn’t effective (although no files were provided to investigate it): https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43363323
Also, I want to mention the great VectorFirstAid plugin by Astute Graphics, that can sweep these off with a button click: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorfirstaid/vectorfirstaid-panel/convenience-operation-buttons
Then, there is an old but free script called 'Iron Straight Points’... I can’t find or remember the source of it. A script solution is definitely possible.

An error occurred while saving the comment A script solution exists for it (independent to the 'Display Print Size at 100% Zoom' option)... but it makes the viewport jump momentarily:
```
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var view = app.activeDocument.activeView;
var savedCenter = view.centerPoint;
app.executeMenuCommand('actualsize');
view.centerPoint = savedCenter;
}
```
So it remembers the viewport position, zooms using the native command, and restores the center.
This makes it work for any doc, CMYK or RGB (that is print or screen intent).
A simpler script,
```
app.documents[0].views[0].zoom = 1;
```
would work only with 'Display...' option enabled. I don’t know which state of it you use more.
If you hate the shifting, you can press Cmd/Ctrl + 1 once, run the script with:
```
alert(app.activeDocument.activeView.zoom);
```
remember the value and replace the "1" with it, that would fit your screen’s actual resolution. But in this case it would work for only one intent.
Testing these are simple if you drag a JSX file with the code inside into the app.The main script would require a hotkey to run swiftly, and Ai doesn’t allow to set these up easily... the only readily available method is to install a script (by putting it into the dedicated Scripts folder) and create an action that calls it. Rather cumbersome.
A native option or a command would definitely be better!

Previous/Next Artboard hotkeys should be able to keep zoom
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40944709An error occurred while saving the comment This is even more fun that this.
If you have something selected, typing in 100% in the Zoom Level field (which is the only one element in the bottom row to not have a tooltip, BTW) will result into re-centering the view to this selection — while double-clicking the Zoom tool icon does not move the view.
So we have THREE ways to change the view: to center to the selection, to center to the artboard, to no center to anything... but only one can be called with a hotkey (which a lot of user prefer).We need all three as menu commands we can assign hotkeys to.

Actual Size View not to depend on Artboard (do not zoom AND center)
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42751058An error occurred while saving the comment Sipke, I know exactly what you mean.
Indeed, some things WERE changed. The intentions were good, but these lead to most of scripts that were designed for working with artboards to become flawed. In short, previously Ai allowed only ONE artboard selected at any time. Today, Ai allows many to be selected, to allow pasting on chosen ones ( https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32146360 )... but the team forgot to allow scripts to select artboards!The report is here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50230332
Please upvote!An error occurred while saving the comment I am not against having this option, I upvoted it after all.
But I think 'consistency for the sake of consistency' is a dangerous path.
InDesign’s pages are not Illustrator’s artboards (although artboards can be used as pages).
Artboards are more like viewports, frames that can overlap, nest, easily have various sizes, while in InDesign it takes some effort to introduce a page with custom dimensions. This is the same reason 'layers' and 'artboards' are two parallel structures (unlike frames in Figma).There is a request about it, BTW:
Artboard-specific Layers — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31133392So these don’t look like ducks and don’t quack like ducks, therefore no parity — initially. Just a different paradigm.
Still I need an option to keep the zoom level!
And I really want Ai to not zoom into a newly created page as well, like it’s been before it got changed:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45689917An error occurred while saving the comment K-O, there are users who are completely OK with that auto-zoom approach. Some of them just don’t care, some are really into it.
I’d use both, as I do have different designs. But as I see it, the 'additional zoom to fit' should bee optional, only when I intend to.The status of it is unknown. 14 votes it currently has usually not enough to push a request above others, with higher vote count... This, again, can signal that not enough of us users care :( We need more attention for it.
An error occurred while saving the comment As for now, we can use these scripts to jump between artboards with the zoom level kept: https://onthehead.com/#cat-ais-view
I mapped these to Wn + PageUp/Down hotkeys using an external utility, works for me.An error occurred while saving the comment Dave, there is workaround I can offer, a free set of custom scripts by 3flab:
https://onthehead.com/ais/
Scroll down to View section.
You can wrap these into actions and use instead of native hotkeys.
They are now perfect, but worth trying.
Please comment back if they help and how does it differ from what you want.An error occurred while saving the comment There is a workaround we can use, with a set of scripts:
https://onthehead.com/ais/ — scroll down to View section
Display next/prev artboard in center
Display neighbor artboard in center
Display first/last artboard in centerNot exactly that, but does the trick. Unfortunately, this is not that fast as native commands. Still worth trying.

An error occurred while saving the comment No.
There should be an OPTION to make it work that way, because some people USE current behaviour.I would use both, depending on task.
So I vote for this, but only as an option. Not a DEFAULT option.AdminEgor Chistyakov

"Save each artboard to a separate file" creates AI files with hidden layers and missing linked files
2 votesAn error occurred while saving the comment I tried to reproduce the issue, but the produced files look and behave fine when opened, both in Illustrator and viewed in Acrobat. Something differs then?
The test was very simple: some links, different layers (locked and/or hidden), basic shapes, default settings. UV today doesn’t allow ZIP or even TXT files... if you can share test files, please send them over to sharewithai@adobe.com (please mention the link to this report also: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51496150) -

An error occurred while saving the comment I want to set it to 'minus 60'.
Why should I calculate 360-60 and enter 300? Why don’t Ai do it for me?Why I can select a line, open the Transform panel, and in Line Properties enter '-60' in ' Line Angle' and get '300' automatically?
An error occurred while saving the comment It works in Move dialog, when we can set a negative distance just fine.
Can’t see why this can’t apply here. Plus, it’d help to alter the starting point of it, and it can be useful as well.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment I try to remember the exact build that tried to start to update links immediately when the changes happened... If I refuse to update (and sometimes there’s a reason for this), I started to get constantly bombarded with 'Some files are missing or modified, would you like to update?' ...no, I say. But each time the app gets focused, I get the message again. Sometimes the frame doesn’t get loaded after some work outside (and can’t get updated because of this dialog that gets retriggered while I try to make Ai awake).
It doesn’t really match the problem with instant update you mention, but I think relates a bit.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Haven’t heard about it yet...
Does is happen with PSD files only? What about PNGs or something else?
What about the 29.8 build that has just been released (it might not appear yet in your CCD, it gets published in waves)?
What about Ai Beta? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Horacio, the team would need the original file, the generated SVG, and the exact method (Save As, Export As, Export for Screens, a script maybe, etc.) and settings you used to generate the output. Please collect these and send over to sharewithai@adobe.com (also mention the link to this report: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51495511). Perhaps it’s just the precision value that is too small (how large it was when you tried?), but it can be something more serious. With no data the team won’t be able to properly investigate and fix this. Thanks!

An error occurred while saving the comment No, I don’t see it fixed, unfortunately.
Here’s a simple test recorded in Beta 30.8.0.7
1. I select some points — carefully, spending some time...
2. I call the Move dialog and choose some values
3. I undo the change — the anchors are still selected
4. I redo the change — and boom, suddenly my selection changes, and now all objects selected fully.
It means that if I used Undo-Redo to quickly test how a change looks (a very common thing to do), and decided to move these anchors at another distance, relative to the made one — I can no longer do this, I’d have to reselect.
I have to revoke the status, unfortunately.An error occurred while saving the comment When I test this with the Move dialog with a partial selection (in both 29.4 and Beta, on Windows 10), pressing Undo keeps the selection partial, same as with dragging...
But not when you try, right?An error occurred while saving the comment Eugene, I’m confused with this one.
I ran several test with older version and they HAVE this kept when Undo. Redo still selects objects as a whole, but... The thing with copying you shared before is still a problem. So perhaps consider this as a false alarm. For some reason I got over-excited.GA stands for General Availability. It’s just 'normal' build, not Beta or Prerelease.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, it makes perfect sense.
One can get accustomed to immediately click the same place where the mouse had just been released to select the point anew, but it’s a hassle and is just not a great experience.
Plus it takes some practice to start holding Opt/Alt after the mouse is clicked and not after, to avoid toggling the Group Selection.
There are other ways to create an art like this, like selecting all the 'root' points later and averaging them together, but again, it takes some effort to isolate a first path before you start creating copies, to be able to quickly select them at once, without grabbing the art beneath. Once mastered, it serves us really well... but again, it’d be easier if we had our partial selection unchanged.An error occurred while saving the comment There is a very related (but not fully identical) feature request:
Ability to UNDO not only actual changes to objects but also selections
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34934953It’d be a more significant change to introduce selection as steps in History... This issue, however, is not exactly a bug, but just a paradigm Ai has been using since forever. If changed, it’d require an option to control it, since many users can have custom workflows based on it, at least at the first stages of adoption.
Many other editor do not change the selection when Undo is used, including Affinity Designer, and I support this request.

An error occurred while saving the comment Ai recalculates these on the fly, but indeed, seeing both values at once can be beneficial, instead of constant flipping between units.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, Illustrator offers several methods to change units.
Just to remember:
1. Cmd/Ctrl + K (Edit > Preferences), Units > General (needs manual focus) — an app level setting, would alter all docs opened
2. Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt + P (File > Document Setup), the Units field (instantly focused) — a document level settings, would affect the current doc only
3. Right-click on rulers (if enabled via Cmd/Ctrl + R, or via View > Show / Hide Rulers), from the context menu
4. Cycling units with an obscure Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Opt/Alt + U — a long way
5. Properties panel shows the Units dropdown when nothing is selected (that is the current scope is the document)And here’s another related request, for an ability to show several sets of controls for specific units picked:
