An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I’d love to have it. The way all my effects get expanded within a pattern tile just sucks. I am forced to keep the originals on canvas and constantly update swatches.

Can you share it somehow?An error occurred while saving the comment Please provide a test file with the color group you are trying to add to a library, so the team can try to reproduce it (only swatches, artwork on canvas isn’t required).
An error occurred while saving the comment Inge, some work was done with this in the latest Beta.
Could you try to test it with Illustrator Beta and comment back, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator is able to batch actions for a specified folder.
Open one SVG (or any other format) file.
Open Actions panel.
Create a new action (it also starts recording it).
Run Save As and choose .ai format. Save the file.
Stop the action.
Then open the Actions panel’s flyout menu and locate Batch command (the very last item).
Make sure you have the correct set and the action chosen.
Choose the folder which has the files you want to convert to .ai
Specify all other options. You can also force another folder here — otherwise Ai will use the same folder you used to save the file while recording the action.
Hit OK and just let Ai to open and resave all the files one by one automatically for you.
Please reply back if it works. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I haven’t counted on it, but... it’s both good and bad.
Can you please comment back if this happens again?An error occurred while saving the comment @Bradley, can you share this file, please?
Am I right thinking the problem stop if you disable Smart Guides? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Just to make sure this problem happens in 29.2.1 — can you try to downgrade? I know it’s never comfortable and takes time... another thing you can try is to reset Preferences (these tend to corrupt many things). I won’t advise you to install Beta, because it would get file associations, but this is another option still.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ileana, can you please check the View > Snap to Grid option? For Smart Guides to work it should be disabled.

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh yes.
The only way to correct this today is to select the text object, then open Paragraph panel, press 'See bullet options' or 'See numbered list options' button there (dropdowns), then click More options button (ellipsis), and then in the Bullets and Numbering dialog (for some reason it’s not in the Type > Bullets and Numbering menu!) tweak both Indent values — manually.
Pretty buried, right?I once tested another method — to apply Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform effect to an area type... After scaling it and using Object > Expand Appearance the text LOOKS as scaled correctly, and I can even make changes to the text, and outline it (convert to curves)... but it I move the object — the original values reapply.

Hello all,
This feature has been made available to you starting V 27.6.
Please give it a try and let us know what you all think!
An error occurred while saving the comment @Mike Choo, I don’t expect much form this dialog anymore.
The team obviously don’t have enough of real cases and users don’t really share examples of the names they need to get, offering solutions and to-do lists instead. That’s how out minds work :)But perhaps this script can serve you better?
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer
It’s versatile enough and offers many placeholders, supports Regex.
The author responds to feedback and can include things you might need.An error occurred while saving the comment I like the approach Sergey Osokin uses in his BatchRenamer script:
https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Artboard.md#batchrenamer
(watch the video)
It allows to use a variety of placeholders in both prefix and suffix fields.
It does not have an ability to use the actual artboard numbers, but since they are always consecutive anyways (except for the dreaded bug with extra/missing numbers! https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39220252-artboards-with-the-same-number) — one can choose an ascending or a descending order to number them.
As I see it, it covers all cases I might need for exporting assets/artboards.
Perhaps using coded placeholders might seem a bit technically, and one can prefer having dropdowns instead, — it’s OK. But since placeholders are common within a variety of renamer tools we have to use to workaround this problem, I assume it’s a level we can handle.
I’d like to know what others think of it.
Dropdowns or annotated placeholders?AdminEgor Chistyakov

A preference to not select objects by center point
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35732254An error occurred while saving the comment I’ve converted this report into a feature request.
There is a definite benefit in the ability to always have it or never have it at all, for some or all object types.
Thanks for raising this up!An error occurred while saving the comment You mean to force or disable center points by default for all or some specific objects?
An error occurred while saving the comment The difference is the middle point of the larger rectangle on the right.
You can turn it off with the Attributes panel.An error occurred while saving the comment I’d also like the same option for Circles, rectangles, etc. Perhaps a key I can press while creating these shapes and objects to toggle the behavior.

Or do you need these to be still snappable, but excluded from selection only?AdminEgor Chistyakov

This behavior can be controlled with the Preserve Black option inside of the Color Reduction Options dialog, hidden under a small button at the top of the Recolor dialog
An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, yes, most probably! But I admit this one should be telegraphed better, without a nested window perhaps. Recolor is a very dense dialog, very powerful, but at the same time pretty convoluted.
An error occurred while saving the comment Katie, in the Recolor Artwork dialog click the Color Reduction Options button (the one I have my cursor over at the attached screenshot), and in the smaller dialog uncheck Preserve Black.
By default Ai won’t do anything with black or white when recoloring anything, so you should uncheck these when needed before tweaking these.
Please check if it works and comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see.
There is an existing request, Show reference point locator in Scale/Rotate/Shear/Reflect tool dialogue — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32927581
Then, there is a very similar, but a bit different request, Scale and Reflect using selected reference point — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37662049Whenever I need to scale using the 9-grid reference point — I just scale using Transform or Control, by typing 125%, followed by Ctrl+Enter, to make it it uniform (the lock is almost always disabled for me). Since I have a custom system to quickly set reference point with Numpad and quickly focus W and H fields, I use this method very often — but I can’t really recommend it, since to set it up is pain.
There is another way. Not sure if you know (I bet you do, but just in case), Ai allows to set a custom pivot for scale in any position on canvas AND show the dialog: hold Opt/Alt, click and drag to set the point. Once the mouse/pen is released, the dialog pops. Since the pivot is affected by smart guides, it can be snapped to a corner or an intersection, if needed. Some times I use this method too (but switching snapping modes is another problem).
So... do you think I should merge this request into either of these two, or would you prefer to keep it, since it’s somewhat different?
An error occurred while saving the comment Sam, please help me to understand the request.
Do you mean
1. an ability to choose a reference point (the same way Transform Each allows to) for a custom selection of ungrouped objects, but using just Scale tool?
2. and ability to set a custom center of transformation when scaling with Scale tool, but have a field to set a scale value also?
3. something else entirely? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are multiple ways to achieve this in Illustrator right now.
The most straightforward is to use Rotate and Scale tools with Smart Guides on, Snap to Grid off, and holding Ctrl to aim to points, as the first GIF shows.Then, there is the Orient Transform plugin from AstuteGraphics: https://astutegraphics.com/learn/tutorial/orient-transform-tool-subscribe
It’s a paid tool, but it simplifies the workflow, as the second GIF shows.For some cases you can clip the art to a shape and resize this clipping group to match the scale you need and unclip it.
