An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps it’s too late to advise anything, but what about saving it as a PDF? Or into a cloud?
What happens if you copy the artwork into a new document and try to save — does it work?
Does saving an empty new document work? -

Starting with version 29.3, Illustrator got the 'Embed permitted fonts for file preview' option in the Illustrator Options save dialog.
Currently it’s disabled by default, because there were multiple confused complaints on the changed behavior.
When missing in your current system, fonts will render as previews in the documents that were saved with this option enabled — it 'bakes' these outlines in. When we try to edit one though, we get a warning and the font becomes substituted, as before.
For more details and help, please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/find-missing-fonts.html
However, this is not 'Convert text to outlines on open' as we requested it. The option does not provide a way to do that for all the embedded outline previews, and Ai still doesn’t allow to select these at once. So do please upvote the request and comment and tell the team about your experience with this option, for it…
An error occurred while saving the comment While this mostly works now, there is a request to be able too see them as substituted anyway, mentioned in Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/634884897185595412/1341865281206747218/1341865281206747218Please allow to choose if we need to prefer the way these are treated, for all / some missing fonts.

An error occurred while saving the comment These are NOT the presets we meant AT ALL.
This is about the OTHER request! — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35253820 — that one!In THIS request however what we want is to be able to fully customize (that is add, remove, group, sort) the list of items displayed in File New dialog and other places like the dropdowns in Control!

http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35789275An error occurred while saving the comment Hello again, Hans.
'There is no clear way to do that’ means that Illustrator does not provide a clear way to include our own presets to this list.
To have something appear in Templates, you have to put in in the designated folder, something like %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 26 Settings\en_US\x64\Templates'Why can't you just add common social media templates as well' — I can’t add anything, I am not an engineer, I am a mere user with the badge and some knowledge :)
The Saved tab is not meant for user-saved presets... yeah, it’s stupid, I know. It supposed to have downloaded and imported templates.
The help says: 'Quickly access templates that you've downloaded from Adobe Stock (Saved tab)’ — https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-documents.htmlSo it’s not the functionality that is missing, but the name is wrong and misleading.
An error occurred while saving the comment There is no clear way to do that, but you can save a prepared document as template and later quickly create a new one using File > New from Template.
Not the perfect solution, but does it solve the problem for you?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment This method is still far more superior:

Hello all,
This functionality is now available in all the public builds starting V29.0.
To use this functionality, simply select colors from your swatches panel and click on 'create gradient' in the swatch panel options.
Please try out this feature and let us know what you think!
An error occurred while saving the comment While the function works, there is no way to create a gradient respecting the selection order of swatches — the gradient will always use their order in the panel. I wish it worked! If we need the direct order of swatches, we’d just selected like this.
An error occurred while saving the comment Joreld, what should happen then?
Should this new gradient be immediately applied to the objects you have selected in the artwork? — since you say specifically 'choose two or more colors in the artwork'.
Or should this gradient just get added to Swatches, but not to change the current color of the selected objects? With or without a dialog to set a name for it?Do you want this function to sample fills only, or strokes as well?
What should it do if selected objects have both a fill and a stroke specified?What if selected objects have gradient fills themselves?
What it’s a freeform gradient?What order of colors should this feature use? By z-order of selected objects or their arrangement on canvas?
What if you don’t select these on canvas, but select actual swatches in Swatches — should it work as well?
Please try to answer these.
An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry for offering scripts. Read about the problem you are having in another post. What seems to be the problem?
An error occurred while saving the comment Most things plugins do (especially paid ones) are desired to have form the box.
But to be fair — some plugins go more specialized than Ai can allow them to have for the majority of users.
If the plugin you have in mind is Gradient Forge by Astute Graphics — totally worth it.Also, there are free scripts that can help to achieve similar results, like this one:
https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75097/how-to-repeat-a-gradient-multiple-times-in-illustrator-and-photoshopAnyway, the request is pretty valid, and I upvote it.
An error occurred while saving the comment Laura, this looks exactly like an operation Gradient Forge plugin can do. It has Swathes to Gradients and Artwork Fills to Gradient commands.
The plugin is paid though, but worth trying.There are several scripts solution that do the same thing:
1. https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75097/how-to-repeat-a-gradient-multiple-times-in-illustrator-and-photoshop (even 2)
2. https://github.com/mhulse/illy-gradAn error occurred while saving the comment Another method for this would be the Gradient Forge plugin panel.
An error occurred while saving the comment Joreld, you are welcome. It does not mean Ai should not have it by default :)
An error occurred while saving the comment There are some external script solutions that can help you to do what you want:
1. https://github.com/mhulse/illy-grad — will create a gradient from multiple selected swathes in the panel
2.https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75097/how-to-repeat-a-gradient-multiple-times-in-illustrator-and-photoshop — there are two different solutions in comments with slightly different functionality that use colors of on-canvas objects

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several script solutions to create a gradient from the selected colors:

An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t reproduce it from scratch :/
Please tell a bit more about these projects.
RGB or CMYK?
Do you export them in a cloud managed folder or not? Does it differ if you try another folder or drive?
Do these have raster images in them?
Does this continue to happen when you try o re-export these, or is it random?
There are so many things that can affect this... perhaps you can just share a project? Email it to sharewithai@adobe.com for the team to look at (in this case mention the link to this report, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49510841) or just attach it here in comments. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Frank, there are two separate existing requests about this:
one asks to calculate the area specifically for the Dimension tool, so that we can stamp the art on canvas — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41789197
another one is about having this information for each selected object automatically, like in the Document Infor panel (with the Objects option selected in the panel’s menu — right now it has only the length, not the area) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38673499
Which one do you feel I should merge this new request into?

The latest Illustrator release - v29.3 now offers Area Calculation using Measure Tool:
- Select the objects in your artwork you want to calculate the area for.
- Select the Measure Tool from the Toolbar.
- The calculated area will be displayed in the Info panel, shown automatically.
- Shift + Click on a segment in the existing selection to remove/add it to area calculation.
- Configure measurement options by accessing the flyout menu of the panel. You can customize units, precision, and scale to suit your requirements.
Please update to v29.3 from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and keep sharing your feedback!
An error occurred while saving the comment No-no-no, it’s not completed.
I don’t agree with this statement.
It’s VERY basic and lack a ton of things.No area until you pick the tool. No live text, no compounds shapes, no clip groups or objects within one, no mesh, and even no area for objects without a fill — why should I add one to calculate it? It’s not 'ink coverage', it’s 'area'!

An error occurred while saving the comment Not at the moment, but the team is aware of the need and is still exploring the way to allow it.
An error occurred while saving the comment Jean-Michel, it’s not the Dimension tool, but the Measure tool!
An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, same problem as before — the tool does not support area calculation for compound paths at the moment. Even if there is no hole / cutout. Hence the Beta.
An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, the team confirms the wrong values is a known conversion error and the fix will land in the next Beta. So far only points get calculated correctly.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I see now clearly what is happening.
First, it seems that for now it doesn’t support compound paths AT ALL, making it near useless.
The only path in the EXIT sign is the head, and it’s separated from the base (that is a compound path).Same goes for the blue EXIT — each letter is a compound path (which is normal when you Create Outlines), and even though they have no paths included to have holes, it’s still restricted.
But even if these get released to become simple paths, the calculation is all wrong.
When I measure the I letter in EXIT, it’s 14.394 × 84.667 mm, the area of it should be something like 1218 mm², minus rounded corners...
But it sees 3488.81 mm²...The green head is roughly a 15.665 mm wide circle... so it’s 46.8² × pi, and it should give 192.73 mm²... the panel shows 546.45!
Something is wrong.An error occurred while saving the comment Area of a circle is pi multiplied by a diameter of a circle, no big deal to calculate it. If you want to automate the process — you can use custom plugins like Dynamic Measure by AstuteGraphics.
The other thing is if you want to control the size of the circle by entering the desired area. Like 'create a circle with area x' or 'transform a circle to have the area y'. Is that you want? Plugins can’t do that so far.
Still, there are methods to automate it, like actions to create circle presets, libraries, so on. It’d be easier to understand the request if you provide some examples you want to create.
Anyway, bezier ellipses are not real circles, but a good approximation. So no ACCURACY is possible anyway :)

An error occurred while saving the comment There's the Document info palette, which gives this information partially, and I have a bunch of scripts that calculates complex area with holes, overlapping and other peculiarities, but native way, in document units, would be great.
An error occurred while saving the comment Bobby, here's a script I've assembled to quickly get areas and perimeters:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ujtj1smsvd304rw/6%20Get%20Shape%20Area%20and%20Length.jsx?dl=0
It's based on Bryan's Buchanan and Hiroyuki's Sato scripts, but works on compounds.
Feel free to modify it as you like.Feature is still required right form the box, in Document Info palette!
An error occurred while saving the comment This can be scripted though and this is what I use, I'd like to have it natively; in document chosen units (squared), correctly for compound paths also.

An error occurred while saving the comment Project Turntable (https://www.adobe.com/max/2024/sessions/project-turntable-gs3-9.html) is an experiment and not an actual user-ready feature accessible in Illustrator.
'Sneaks' demonstrations shown at Adobe MAX are never actual promises — these are WIP slices of the research endeavors Adobe pursues. Some demos become real features, like ProjectVectorEdge — now Mockup in Illustrator... but some lead to something else entirely, or become obsolete, or still under development. It’s hard to make these real, stable, simple enough to learn and powerful enough to serve professionals... So, don’t expect them ever to become real things...
...but thanks for making a feature request — this can help the team to evaluate the need for the tool. I hope myself this one is still in works and won’t be abandoned. Fingers crossed. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see now, thanks.
It’s not a bug with 3D you found, really, but a bug with Strokes and the way they are shown and later treated by 3D.
Take a look at the video attached.When a live stroke gets processed by the 3D effect, it gets outlined. We can see what the effect sees by applying Outline Stroke to the thick green stroke. Once we do it, we are able to see how incredibly messy it really is — and this it exactly what gets inflated.
If you change the Corner Join type from Miter to Round — no problems occur.See, you apply a rather large stroke to a rather thin object... the stroke has two edges, and while one gets offset fine, the inner one is condensed and twisted by the Bezier math.
I personally would have used a different approach to avoid this altogether — see the .ai file also and the image.
Instead of strokes I’d use fills and apply Offset Path to each one. Plus I’d remove black fills from the original art inside of the group (but it makes no difference here, since the 3D produces a raster image in the end, but will guarantee cleaner results for vector artwork).Anyway, this is an interesting finding! Illustrator seems to hide the tangled result, exposed by 3D and Outline Stroke, but perhaps it should not. Thanks for sharing this!
An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t really understand what’s missing based on the screenshot, sorry!
Can you provide a test file with the object included, to test the problem? -
