Works as it should in the latest versions, deleting a selected artboard (artboards) now selects the one before it (them). Holding Delete key would rapidly Delete these in succession (at least on Windows).

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, Snap to Point, as the name implies, was designed to snap anything you drag to a point — and nothing else.
You can also drag an edge, or just grab an object by its fill... what’s important is that it happens at the POSITION of the CURSOR. It means if you grab BY the point, having the 'white square with the dot' indicator, (with Smart Guides disabled) — it will be snapped precisely... but if you grab by the segment or fill (the marker would be the 'black square') — Ai would use the position of the cursor. And here’s where the tolerance kicks in... Ai allows us to grab the shape/line/whatever not precisely (obviously, since the screen is having finite resolution), and lands the dragged artwork within the same tolerance! Grab a line by the middle somewhere, aim at a point (the cursor would change to the 'white arrow', as with Direct Selection, to signal the snap target), release, zoom in and look.
So, Snap to Point works best when you grab BY a POINT, and snap TO a POINT.This is the main source of our complaints with this snap mode — Snap to Point knows nothing about PATHS. Only P O I N T S.
This is what Smart Guides do: this mode knows about paths, intersections, etc. But these can be noisy (still, after the recent reworking).
So we often disable Smart Guides , using Snap to Point instead, forgetting or never knowing what the mode does.
Therefore your chart. You charted it correctly, and the road to this comprehension is hardly short.Then there’s another secret snapping-ish option...

An error occurred while saving the comment Ronald, Christopher, when it starts happening, does it affect everything, in all documents, with a simple case of rectangles?
When it happens again — can you please locate the Preferences folder (locations are mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html), zip it (for the team to study), and share a link to the archive here, along with your full OS and hardware specs? Even though the test file might seem 'it’s like a simple document!' — share it as well. The problem is reproducibility. It behaves just fine for many, but for some of us... the combinations of factors differ. -

This behavior can be toggled in Preferences > General > Transform Pattern Tiles.
Once enabled, the pattern stays relative to the object it’s applied to, when you move or copy it between documents.
It also makes it deform if you stretch, resize, rotate, skew or transform the object, because it’s all a part of 'transformations' we can make.
An error occurred while saving the comment Another option that happens to alter the behavior (thanks, Ton!) is Paste Remembers Layers — as found here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-swatch-pattern-movement-issue-advanced-question/m-p/13459645#M349705
An error occurred while saving the comment NG, I had my arguments, and I provided steps, and I checked if it works (twice now).
If you have the option ticked, the pattern doesn’t nudge when you copy and paste objects filled with patterns between documents.
Both method are usable, and Ai allows to toggle them. So the problem is about knowing about the option and using it.
What are your counterarguments? Let’s talk. -

If you are still having problems with this, please provide a test file and a small video showing the exact workflow and the combination of options used. This would help to start investigation.
An error occurred while saving the comment Snap to Point was able to snap to LIVE text’s anchors? Reported in 2018? Before Snap to Glyph got introduced (happened in 2020)? I don’t know... I’m checking it in CC2017 and can’t see it happening.
Perhaps it means 'outlined text’s anchors'? It worked always and works when I check.
There’s another report, about it not working in general, not only text, — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/39022795

An error occurred while saving the comment There’s a related request,
Please allow to track time spent on a project in Illustrator
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38392246You mention the timecode specifically... do you a suffix that gets added on canvas, or into a file name instead? Please elaborate.

If so — can you share some details? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you still have problems with thin lines today?
When I compare the line weights in CPU / GPU Preview, I can’t say there is a large difference...
The thinner the line, the less is the difference, I’d say... but it can depend on the GPU.
Can you show the comparison, please?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment @Jephthe, if this still troubles you, do you mind sharing some details?
I have no specific problems applying a drop shadow to a clip group... but you say 'clipping mask' specifically. I don’t really understand what are you trying to achieve. Can you make a mockup to explain this, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment We can do this today, but only with Point Type text — it supports Snap to Glyph (works with Smart Guides enabled only).
Area Type doesn’t work with Snap to Glyph (it was done intentionally, to avoid overwhelming).
I wonder what workflow do you that requires this? Please elaborate.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Lee, does it happen for you still?

“Split Into Grid” creates a single live grid object now instead of independent paths and it's awful.
2 votesAn error occurred while saving the comment I’d like to see this, please... I know nothing about the change, so it’s something that either slipped into your build, not announced even, or something else entirely.
When I test it, in Ai GA 30.1 and the latest Beta, I get just a set of rectangles, as before — not grouped even.
Please share a test file with this live object type within and a short video showing the way it works for you.An error occurred while saving the comment Michelle, I’m a bit confused.
Object > Path > Split Into Grid makes a group of rectangles, based on the appearance and the size of the selection. Unless we tick Guides in the dialog, we don’t get lines. And we can set gaps between these rectangular cells. This is how it worked and still works.
Perhaps you mean the Rectangular Grid Tool? It’s usually nested within the Line tool, and it was always creating a grid of lines (and a frame, if one wants it). Clicking with it on canvas displays a similar looking dialog.
Please comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment In Freehand it indeed worked better, with an outlined preview and the guideline at the same time. Having an axis of symmetry displayed is helpful, I’d want one.
Plus, in Freehand we can click and drag instantly, while in Ai we need to click to define the pivot, release the mouse and drag separately.But I don’t recall Freehand allowing more duplicates... nor with +/- held, nor with arrow keys, nor [/]...
What you want to have is something we can do today with Object > Repeat > Radial.
The only problem is that we can’t constrain the angle with Shift or set it later for the object created, reported here http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/43866528 and here http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42444832
While deleting artboards rapidly works now s it should, I can’t but notice that even when the only artboard is left, the Delete Artboard command and step still fires up and pollutes the History panel. With the only artboard left the command should just do nothing (until Ai team decided to invent the artboardless canvas and break all the things).
