    Hi - we use Illustrator at school for students mainly for LASER cutting. Despite using a template we provide to students, it appears that the UNITS keep changing and are somewhat random! I am referring to "Edit, Preferences, Units". In Australia, we use "general = millimetres"; Stroke=millimeters"; and "Type=Points".

    Theis does not appear to be saved in the TEMPLATE - where is this saved and why is it so random (literally random across 100 students with he same app build.

    I have also noticed if often defaults back to USA based preferences every update! Can this be locked?

    Another issue on the same line is that we cannot save a shortcut on the task bar, as every time you release an update the link is broken. This also applies to the location templates are stored. This si such an issue we are seriously thinking about not doing auto updates as it breaks everything we set up.

  2. Thin strokes look jagged / uneven

    Stroke does not display correctly for very fine stroke lines on curves (for example 0.001mm). If the change the stroke to 0.1mm it displays perfectly, but when 0.001mm the appears to be large vectors filled in. There are not "really" there - it is just a display issue, but very easy to reproduce.
    Since 0.001mm is a common stroke width for Laser Cutters, this is a big problem as it is difficult to work with detailed drawings when it does not display correctly. See the attached sample for a very simple example.
