An error occurred while saving the comment However, I can’t confirm this problem to not exist in versions prior to 2023.
26.5.2 shows the same behaviour.Upon investigation, I see that the brush you are using is a giant path, 98.0938 inches long and 5.3154 inches tall, in the document’s units.
However, the scale option chosen for the art brush is 'Stretch to Fit Stroke Length'. So it means that Illustrator should maintain the 5.3154 height of it (that it a width or 'weight' of the stroke) across the line, which is not the case nor in 2022, neither in 2023 versions!
If we rebuild the same giant brush in an much older version, such as CS6, Illustrator maintains the original height of the artwork used — as intended.
So it’s not 2023 got broken, but 2022 before it!This needs further investigation.
Meanwhile — what was the latest version you say you were able to use this specific 'fat brush' succefully? Are you sure in that? It can’t be 2022.An error occurred while saving the comment DG, thanks for the file.
I confirm this issue. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Shirine, I wonder if this is something that still happens.
Can you retest it, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is another example of the same behavior, in the file shared by Doug Roberts.
There is a certain limit of the size — if the object gets enlarged a bit, it works fine again. Changing the alignment of the stroke to normal Centered makes the fill behave again. Changing the opacity does the same.An error occurred while saving the comment I confirm that, it really has a problem like this.
While it gets fixed, there is workaround solutions to this. — work with a larger scale. The bug seems to not affect shapes if you scale the object up. Scale it down later, after you expand the artwork before you producing.
Generally it seems to be a precision problem.
If you achieve the same effect by using a second black fill below the green one with an Offset Path effect to this black fill — it gives the same problem, even worse :(AdminEgor Chistyakov

The latest Illustrator build (v29.2) now offers a way to see the distances between a selected object and an object hovered over / edges of an artboard.
- Click on the object you want to measure the distance from
- Press Opt/Alt and hover over the object that you want to measure distance to
- You can also hover over empty area to see the distance from the selected object and the artboard boundaries
Please try it and come back with the feedback.

An error occurred while saving the comment Photoshop has a useful feauture — it shows the distance between currently held object and adjacent one, when you hold Control.
(I couldn’t capture these annotations on video, sadly).AI just doesn't.
It can detect similar gaps between objects, show offset from current position, but not distances to neighbors.And it even doesn't show offsets when you use snap to grid (with Smart guides on).
Please, make snaps great again.

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator has variable strokes, and these can be tapered, wavy, anything you want. Once saved as a preset or a graphics style, combined with the New Art Has Basic Appearance option disabled from the Appearance panel combined, it can be quickly utilized exactly the same if not more customizable way...
Have you tried these? If yes — what and why would you like to get improved and how?An error occurred while saving the comment Do you refer to an ability to detect pressure while drawing with a pen and apply it as width profile?
Something like DynamicSketch and InkFlow tools from Astute Graphics can do? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mateo, what do you mean specifically by the 'expand' here, I wonder? Offset perhaps?

Dear users,
Can you please let us know what is that you cannot do with the existing 'save selection' functionality that you expect to do by grouping objects from different layers?
'Save selection' enables you to combine objects from different layers without having to bring them into one single layer.
To use 'save selection' just select your desired objects and save the selection from the select > save selection menu command or from the bottom of the layers panel.
An error occurred while saving the comment @Designer, something similar to the widget we get when 'Select and Unlock object on canvas' option is enabled, a small circle in the top left edge of the saved selection’s objects?

An error occurred while saving the comment Basically what you need is 'linking objects', the same way it is done in Photoshop? When you can press a chain icon and two or more objects (as well as groups) and transform them all at once, without breaking their relative hierarchy.
Agree. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment You kind of can do it already. Instead of groups you should make Saved Selections: Select > Save Selection.
Later you can call these via Select menu (displayed at the bottom) and manage through the Edit Selection command.Be ware — this is an old piece, it has some weird quirks to it and an awful UX.
One object can be contained in different saved selections (that is good actually, but maybe not for your task).
It also supports storing subselections (array-based).There was a request to boost this into a proper panel... or I never made it yet.
An error occurred while saving the comment I mean, leave groups as the are, per layer only. But add another way of managing sets.
An error occurred while saving the comment I would not call this 'Groups', but 'Named Selection Sets', like 3DSMax does it:

An error occurred while saving the comment Hiranthini, this place is not a general educational portal :)
You have to learn general techniques by yourself or with a teacher.
Start with a basic search in YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=illustrator+clipping+maskAn error occurred while saving the comment Here is the documents with two artboards.
Each one has an example of your image with a round hole in the middle, using methods I described below.These are the basic operations, and I advise you to learn clipping and transparency routines, they help a lot in creative process:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/clipping-masks.html
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/transparency-blending-modes.htmlAn error occurred while saving the comment So basically what you want to have is Draw Outside mode, is that correct?
So fat there are two ways to do that.
1. First Subtract (using Pathfinder panel) your circle from a rectangle, larger than your image, and then clip your background using this rectangle with a round hole in it — select both the image and the shape and use Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
2. Fill your circle with black (since you are working in CMYK, use rich black, or even registration swath to fill it), then select both image and the circle, open Transparency panel and press Make Mask button. Make sure you have both Clip and Invert Mask options unchecked in this panel.
Sure, these are workarounds, but quite effective ones.
Please comment back if it works for you.
An error occurred while saving the comment This one requires more details.
What does the 'background for edges' mean?
Can you show an example, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Kit, clip the image first, then rasterize it again, before using Object Mosaic.
Plus you can crop an embedded image directly in Illustrator (although it’s kinda wonky) — try Crop Image button in the Control Panel (or Object > Crop Image command, it’s the same thing).AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Kit, it’s an interesting request actually!
With QR codes currently I utilize the existing Object > Create Object Mosaic command. The tricky thing is to crop it (clip and rasterize solves its) and then count how many squares a code has (for some reason the dialog has no Preview option (therefore this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48661520). Then I just Recolor it into strict black-and-white (it takes some times to set up a preset to do it fast), or isolate the result and use Magic Wand to select almost-blacks and remove almost-whites.Here is a related request about creating these directly in Ai:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20556163
...but I recall only one plugin that was able to read codes (EAN-13 specifically) directly within Ai. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I agree with Object Mosaic Preview, but I can’t understand the difference between 'normal Preview' and 'Live Preview' for Transform Effect (and I suppose to Transform Each dialog as well). What do you mean with 'Live'?
Please explain the difference. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Simon, there are two ways of achieving this I am aware of:
1. Offset method to find the center. Clearly explained in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSI-YN6sCM
To force any arc-like path into a proper fitting arc, there is a nifty free script, Arc Correction, by Hiroyuki Sato. Grab it here: http://shspage.com/aijs/en/#arc_correction ()the link is at the top of the page)2. In case you do this often and the curves are rather tricky, perhaps using the dedicated Curvature Circle Tool plugin tool by Astute Graphics would be a better way: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/subscribe/curvature-circle-tool
A native direct solution can be a thing, but I personally am quite OK with these methods.
Anyway, thanks a ton for making a request! It helps to raise awareness and gather data. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Very close, but not entirely, to this request:
Define the Start and Stop of a Variable Width Profile on a closed path
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38816224An error occurred while saving the comment A workaround would be to cut a path in a point you want to be a starting one and then joining it back.
Not a fastest way, I agree, a command needed.
If you need a faster way — PathScribe plugin by AstuteGraphics has way to force a point to be a starting one in two clicks.

An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment There are three ways I know to do it.
1. Cut and join, but you know that. But it can’t be really automated with native actions, because Illustrator does not have an actionable Cut Selected Anchors command, only the button in a panel you have to click, or even more manual Scissors.
2. A script by Umezawa, from now closed site www.pictrix.jp
Here is the more or less permanent link to the copy I have: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l6rd8m8s80njq7/Start%20Anchor.jsx?dl=1
If placed in the Scripts folder, it can be recorded as an action.3. A commercial plugin, PathScribe, which have this command one can put into an action too.
All three solutions assumes a variable width stroke starts at a point... But you want it to be a sliding thing, just like we can do with the Type on Path, right, both ends?
Nick, we need all of the options and functions Ai has to be available for assigning a hotkey, not only these you mentioned.
What about Constrain Width and Height Proportions? Or the Width / Height field in general?
There is a general request on the topic: Assignable keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237 (and you upvoted in a half a year ago).
Do you prefer this one to stay as a separate request?
