An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Stephan, I didn’t mean it works already.
The team has responded on this:
'currentColor is one way to solve it but has many disadvantages. One is that it can only get defined once per subtree (it is inherited). So one can not define a fill color and a stroke color separately. For that, CSS has custom properties. Supporting custom properties is a challenge though — not on export but on import.'So I suppose editing SVGs after exporting with a custom scripted routine stays the only viable way to assign currentColor.
After all, SVG is not native format for Ai.
But this can be achieved with Inkscape though. You can find manuals on the method on web, like this one: https://inkscape.org/de/forums/questions/using-currentcolor-in-inkscape/An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting, yes. But how do you imagine this to work within the current paradigm? A special swatch that makes no sense for anything but SVGs? An attribute one can assign in the Attributes panel? An effect?

An error occurred while saving the comment I can totally reproduce the core issue. When I move the file Y and open file X, I get this message, and both choices are bad: Yes puts the file X into itself, No cancels opening. No way to open X and get a dialog to locate Y instead of forcing self-linking.
With many links in a doc locating these would be a nightmare.An error occurred while saving the comment When exactly do you get the message? After locating Y manually and trying to relink? or when you have multiple copies of Y?

The team says it’s fixed in Prerelease build 29.6.191.
The fix is now scheduled to be pushed into the upcoming general release. If you are a part of the PR program, please check if it works.
An error occurred while saving the comment Happens if both Smart Guides and Snap to Grid are enabled at the same time.
Disabling Smart Guides makes it possible to select points that are not at the grid.
Not fixed in the Beta yet.An error occurred while saving the comment Sho, about the clipping path part of the problem... while the first problem is something I see, I’m not sure I have anything weird going on with selecting edges or points of clipping masks, with or without any snapping options. Can you demonstrate it, in a video, with a test file, please?

An error occurred while saving the comment Vinicius, there is an existing request to upgrade the existing flat Appearance system into the node-based one (or create a separate advanced one), here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49468772
I think it’s the same topic. Would you mind me merging these?

'As expected' — how so? What result do you get? Can you share an example of a behavior you think shouldn’t be, a test file, a video, please?
An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. In a video you make a smaller Artboard 12 with a sloppy enough click, and only then an artboard gets created based on something below the next click.
Is it a white rectangle below? You don’t have a larger artboard these all are placed within, correct?
Does it differ if you have this object selected before you try to click it with the Artboard tool?
Can you share a test file, please? Feel free to remove the artwork, but keep this strange top part (but make sure it get reproduced). -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is odd... When I check — the command is there, searchable.
If you manually (without searching) unfold the Menu Commands tree to Object > Path — do you see the command?
If you actually try to locate the actual command in the Object > Path menu — is it there? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, it looks like Ai interprets dragging of the dialog with this Eyedropper button picked as a desire to sample the color... while still allowing to drag the window.
It doesn’t do it for me on Windows though...
Nice catch. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, true, SVG is not native format for Illustrator (and never will). Each SVG you 'save' is actually 'exported' (despite the dialog’s name).
But notice you have '1' as a value for decimal places. This is what makes the precision of your points drop, causing them jump. Depending on the size of your objects this be critical. SVG are designed for web, to look OK at a certain level of zoom, and lightweight, that’s the length of these value matter for web developers. Glowforge... a strange choice to use a web-oriented format for cutting steel :)Make this value higher, something like 5, and it should stick to it next time you export an SVG. Study the format you are using!
There were some bug reports this value goes 1 sometimes, but so far it’s not clear why.
Please look how your files behave with 5 decimal digits and comment back. Hope it helps.An error occurred while saving the comment Nope, cloud is what the company tries to push, but Ai works locally just fine. It’s just sometimes some cloud services interfere with how files are saved with the watched folder, that’s why I asked.
The thing with the handle you show is rather weird. This jump is rather large, but I can’t tell how large the path is. This can be caused by precision limit, but...
Please tell more about your workflow. What options do you choose when save a file? What is your preferable format?An error occurred while saving the comment This is odd and super disturbing :(
Are you using the latest build? When did it start happening, can you remember?
Can you also share some examples of the corrupted files you got (preferably with some screenshots of the proper look of them)?
Do you save locally, or in the cloud? Local or network drive? Cloud service managed or not? -

Please share the test file! It’s hard to tell anything by the image alone.
An error occurred while saving the comment Josiah, please share a test file with these two shapes included (the original one would be better though).
Also, please open the Appearance panel and compare its state for each of the objects selected — do you see any difference? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jeffrey, PDF is not a native format for both Illustrator or InDesign. PDF was never developed as an interchange format as well. PDF is a 'final form' format, something that is used only for viewing and printing. There are PDF editors, that allow directly modifying the contents (Acrobat being one of them), but both Ai and InD IMPORT these, converting the contents (which can be far more than both apps allow inside) into their respective native formats — that’s why the alteration can happen. Ai allows to 'save PDFs', but what it actually does is saving a native copy inside of a PDF, and tries to keep these parts consistent. A PDF imported from any other application is a risk to have it being altered.
While this is how things go, perhaps something can be improved in this case you are having.
To study it, the team would require to see the actual files: the original one and those that got exported and imported, along with all the font files used. Package these all and send over to sharewithai@adobe.com (and please mention the link to this report for tracking: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49770665). Also share the specific settings / parameters you used to produce the file, as well the the build version for all apps involved, and your OS specs — all these can matter. -

An error occurred while saving the comment 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? -

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.
I can’t :) The team can, probably, some times in future. After all, you are the one who asked for this, and so far, it’s two votes only.
The team is looking into supporting CSS custom parameters, on export only, that does allow defining color swatches which can get updated in CSS even after export. However, those are early ideas.
