Hi everyone,
In the latest BETA 30.0.21, we’ve improved the ‘Save As’ workflow.
Now, instead of remembering the last used format, the default will always be .AI.
We made this change to ensure that your files are consistently saved in the native Illustrator format, which is the most reliable option for preserving full editability.
Please try out he changes by downloading the latest BETA from the Creative Cloud and let us know if it helps you or not.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I think this should be an option, in both dialogs, — 'Remember the last file format' — enabled by default for Export As, and disabled for Save / Save As

An error occurred while saving the comment Asher, I bet this is a consequential behavior, caused by this request: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47550692
Both dialogs, Export and Save, should behave consistently, and if one remembers the file format (something many requested, here and there), the other one should too.
I think though it makes sense to give us the control over the behavior, right there in the dialog, as a 'Remember the chosen format' option. What do you think about it?An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator now remembers the last used file format in dialogs like Save and Export, following this request: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47550692
Do you mean that once after you chose .ai, the next time you try to save a document it still stays at .pdf? -

1. Disable all "Generative AI" marketing popups — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47696468

Please upvote them, if you agree.
An error occurred while saving the comment I want to have a dedicated section in Preferences for all the Generative functions Ai adds, and a master option to shut them all down.
I don’t care if Adobe as a company thinks of these additions as indispensable tools that would form the future or not. I perceive these as alien and forced, and I want to have control over tools that are server-based and require payed credits. I want this interaction to be as transparent as it can be, without aggressive marketing, trying to feed with 'magic'. I want a tool, not a fairy godmother from Cinderella to pose a slot machine as a shortcut to a magic royal ball.
Control should come form US, users.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Allison, do you mean the section in Properties panel specifically (to hide it), or do you want to completely disable it, even the separate dedicated panel?

Confirmed in house, scheduled for fixing
An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, I confirm this...
Sometimes it forces it on the selected object only, sometimes at the last edited... forcing an object to recalculate the effect fixes the resolution and it stays even after Cancelling. What a mess...
Thank you for the report! -

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 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).

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...
Read more about it here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32318284Does it make any sense?
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 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

Brendan, there was a problem the team tried to solve.
Many users were using the Save dialog to create PDFs occasionally, and then, just like with the Export As dialog, the chosen file type would stick and stay.
The change was made due to this request — Allow us to choose a preferable file format on Export or keep the last chosen one, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47550692
This lead to many cases when users expected to save in the native .ai format, but would get a .pdf document instead.
The report was filed — Allow to choose if the Save dialog should "remember the last file format used / PDF is set as a default filetype when saving a new document, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50078010
Alas, it makes it ALWAY .ai, but not allow us to control the stickiness, as we asked for.
Workflows differ, and this would have make it possible for everyone to choose the behavior that suits them.
Would you mind me merging you report with the latter one?
