I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

I try to reproduce it and it works just fine for me, rotated at any angle, at any zoom level. -

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.
Thanks & Regards,

I try and it works fine, the group of guides gets aligned to artboard as expected. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Arthur, please avoid combining several ideas into a single post. UserVoice currently doesn’t allow splitting entries into more than two, and won’t allow splitting an already split one. Anyway — thank you for raising these up!
At the moment there are several existing relevant requests — please upvote them:
— Dimension tool style presets, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48081521Dimension Tool Options dialog won’t change the existing dimensions on canvas, but there is a button in Properties panel that does this. However, its’ the only place to have the command, so
— There should be a dedicated Object > Dimension menu, with all the commands Properties panel has, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378
— Add 'Apply to All' from the property panel to the size 'Control Bar', http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010126 -

This is expected to be fixed in the latest Pre-release build 29.4.0.130. If this fix is going to be stable enough, it’d can be pushed into the next GA build.
An error occurred while saving the comment Doesn’t work for me in PR build 29.4.152...
But then again — it almost never work for me at all, but now it doesn’t have anything in it at all, no captions, just blank.An error occurred while saving the comment Koishi, please try to locate and delete 'CCX Welcome' folder and relaunch Ai — would it help?

An error occurred while saving the comment Claudia, it seems like the bounding box got toggled for you somehow... perhaps you accidentally pressed Cmd+Shift+B hotkey? This is what toggles it. You can also enable it back via the View menu, Show Bounding Box.
Please try it and comment back if it helps. -

The intended way of setting a default font is to edit document profiles. These files are located in folders like 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023\Support Files\Required\New Document Profiles\[language]\' on Windows and 'Macintosh HD > Applications ▸ Adobe Illustrator 2020 > Support Files > New Document Profiles > [language]' on Macs.
Make a copy of the one you want to use someplace else, open it in Illustrator, make your changes, replace the original and then use it when creating a new file.
There are many tutorials on the web about managing these, like this one: https://productivista.com/new-document-profiles-saves-your-default-settings/
However, this way indeed is not the most discoverable. Please continue to vote and leave comments if you want this to be improved.
An error occurred while saving the comment Donna, I checked older versions, starting with Ai1.
Indeed Ai10 allowed to make changes within Character panel with no documents opened, and the choice persisted.
Later versions keep the panel disabled — but unlike Ai10, they have text styles. Changing a default paragraph style just by fiddling with the panel for all the new documents seems quite reckless from a first glance... but there should be definitely a way to do it faster, I agree! Perhaps a warning should be put in all places where we can change the font parameters, to inform users this would change the settings... but then again — WHICH of the document profiles this change would modify? Print? Web? Illustration? Ai has several now, while Ai10 had just none.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment You can change the default font by modifying a default character style in a document profile, in a way described here.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/fonts-faq.html#change-default-font
After doing this once and setting all other settings, like swatches, graphic styles, symbols,, backup the file, because Ai will overwrite it the next update.True, not the most fast way to change the defaults. Takes some time to set one up and restore. But do you change them that often?
Voted anyway :)

An error occurred while saving the comment @darronboden1, I’ve split the original entry to detach the 'request' part of it from the 'bug report' part of it. 'One thing per entry', makes it acceptable for tracking, reviewing, fixing. Piling all eggs into one basket makes it unmanageable.
The request is marked as completed (because the major part of the functionality is there now), but the bug is obviously NOT fixed.
Alas, it seems to be finicky to reproduce, I personally can’t make it happen... Hope is still there to catch this bug.An error occurred while saving the comment Am I right thinking that you select some dimension objects, then press Enter (or click the gear button in the floating panel, or double-click the Dimension Tool button in the tool panel), and then try to edit some options in the dialog window, expecting these changes to apply to these dimensions you have selected?
As for the scale — there is a way to change the scale of these, so that all size are bigger or larger.
Please reply. -

Illustrator has also a Polygon live shape. With only three sides used, it becomes a live triangle. If you have drawn a triangle manually (and it a regular one), you can always convert it into a live shape, using Object > Shape > Convert to Shape menu command.
An error occurred while saving the comment However, if you need to specify a triangle with specific angles or sides — please take a look at this request:
Able to specify triangle inner angles

An error occurred while saving the comment Ben, when I need one, I use ellipse and set its pie parameters.
Then cut, delete, paste, join (this can be put into an action as well, I think).
Definitely faster then fiddling with lines and rotating!There are also several free script solutions the community built to help with creating triangles:
1. Triangle Maker (Side, Side, Angle) by Carlos Canto — https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/custom-angled-triangles-question/m-p/5628371/
2. Triangle Maker (Side, Angle, Angle), same author :)
These two place and rotate the triangle a bit oddly for me persoanlly, but the code can be corrected.
3. JET_RightTriangle.jsx — no longer available publicly, since JET decided to remove and forbid his scripts from the webAnyway, the request is still solid. Ai definitely could use a native tool to do it form the box.

The team has made fixes related to this problem.
Many script commands that were causing this error now won’t trigger it. Two commands though, Last Filter and Apply Last Filter would still give error because they are not exposed on UI as well.
An error occurred while saving the comment 29.4 build should get this fix, coming shortly.
Please thoroughly test it when it comes out and comment back if it’s truly patched.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Rhico, there is an existing bug report on the topic: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43293630
Does the workaround mentioned there help, to launch Ai from the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app?As for the last comment — ah, nice one.
I trust this place more than Ai to handle it though, won’t you agree? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jassin, it seems like somehow Bounding Box got disabled for you... Perhaps you pressed Ctrl+Shift+B occasionally? Try to press it again, or use View > Show Bounding Box command to activate it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you work with a network folder maybe? A cloud-managed folder?
Does this happen for PSD files only? What about PNG, PSD, JPEG?
Do you have other computers, non-M3 Macbooks to test these? Perhaps someone with Windows?
So far I don’t think it can be reproduced :( -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ian, don’t get it. You try to open Character and Paragraph panels, but the 3D one gets open instead? Opens or replaces these?
Do they refuse to open and open as blank? Can you share a screenshot or a video of this strange behavior, please? I try it and it works for me so far (although I’m on Windows, not Mac). -

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s a lot of feedback jumbled together! Thanks for taking your time to post this. Sadly UserVoice currently doesn’t allow to split ideas into several entries at once (only into two, and then each part can’t be split anymore). Having these as separate entries would have helped to track interest and prioritize, and it feels like shorter condensed ideas attract more votes. It’d still matter when and if any work starts on these again, but in future please to log things separately!
On the topic.
Gradient Mesh is an old tool and it definitely needs upgrading. Basically, Freeform Gradient was an attempt to harness the power of triangular mesh, making it dynamic, controlled by the, well, control points.
However, meshes are still the secret weapon. You only need the keys — and thanks gods we have the unique and free MeshTormentor plugin, that adds all the missing functions to control meshes fully.
It covers like 85% of things you asked for here: grid tessellations, conversions, better envelopes... I can’t recommend t enough.Fitting a linear gradient into a trapezoid — possible natively with envelopes, greatly improved with MeshTormentor.
Multiple linear gradients — possible natively with Appearance panel.
Straight lines within freeform gradients — interesting, I don’t recall anyone asking for this and I see a merit for sure. If I had to pick to extract only one request from this manifesto, I’d pick this one (maybe I should?)Anyway, again, thank you. Please don’t stop :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Whitney, but Ai has the dedicated Rotate tool, that allows to rotate a subset of points and set a rotation pivot...
Do you ask for something more than it does, or is it good enough for your needs?
You can read more about it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/rotating-reflecting-objects.html
Keyun Wong, do you still have this problem, I wonder, with the latest version of Ai?
