    Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!

     

    Dear Illustrator Community,


    I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.


    While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.


    Our Approach

    We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.


    It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

    Product stability is the top priority? than why were features added that broke it for a moment. at least start with each document on there own thread. Its been too long. as you see im a long time user of illustrator but with how slow its getting even on current top of the line hardware, it still slow. if stability was top this should of been already completed. please fill free to contact me with some ideas for stability. i have tinkered with hacking illustrator to make it stable but sometimes with each update it takes too long to reconfigure. airobin 2024 seems to be the most stable please pause all feature updates and get Illustrator MT complete. and or atleast have each doc on its own thread.

    Has i pointed out in a call with them back in 2018. at least have a core dedicated per project file. this way if i open more than one file it will not crash me when just doing a task has simple has copy and past. yes i have that experience still to this day. opening more than one file or having a menu brochure that has more than 600+ lines of text and Ai crashes form a copy and past. More ram helps but having Multi core support will be the best fix.

    i spoke with a rep from Photoshop and bridge and was supost to get a call about illustrator. i feel adobe dev teams are not lessening to there clients anymore. my team of 56 is now only 2 using illustrator the rest use corel. or inkscape. (most is just basic color changes or turning on and off layers.) but still that is a loss of 54 users. PLEASE ILLUSTRATOR TEAM FIX THIS

    i feel like adobe is not caring about there clients any more. i have spoken with dev team members and i felt blown off and not cared about. i am still struggling moving away from Adobe but am hoping for a turn around. but when there are request that are 15+ years old. ya they no longer care.

    i was in a meeting with Saurav Agrawal and it feels like they are only into adding new features. they only want to try to hipe sales and relay do not care about there current users. i have been using adobe since i was 12 and now have a broken heart.
    with in my ranks they lost 140 people from using anything adobe. i am one of a fiew left. and there not lissening. when they lost pantone they shot there own foot. and now they have over $60k in equipment they can no longer use with adobe. they jumpted to afanity designer and now pay for pantone pro. but at the end of the year are going to stop using pantone. they have there own color system and no longer will need pantone. the volume of clients that need to pantone match are limited so they will just mail samples and the clients will have to choose. and now with not being able to use a simple tablet or my phone to open a document and make some edits or start creating and finish on my desktop is now a hertal from what it was 5 years ago

    they had it working well with draw. i feel adobe will only Shill out to the ones they can trick into spending more money. apple is twice the price over any android tablet. same with the computers. adobe is loosing to competitive company's that are already providing

    also would like to stop the prompt popups when opening a document. i would rather just have a bottom bar with the alerts on what is missing or what fonts are not working.
    its stopping me form opening 10+ documents at a time i need to click about 20 times for missing font and image links.
    i would like a pro-mode with the option of just getting a bottom bar not requiring me to click anything and just open the document.

    We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3


    You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.

    @judy you can download them here and if you need to get the lic they sell you it at the current price https://www.hotdoor.com/Download?support i have used them for hears. its just i want only the dimension tool and not the rest. currently i made a 9slize with everything i need in it and than just unlink and edit the text. but the problem with this is if i change the object i need to take all the steps again. if illustrator had the tool it would even be better if it auto updated but at lease have it so i can redraw the measurement faster.

    @jean-michel-le-goff in the CC APP on the left hand side you will see beta apps!
    be sure to backup any work you open in the beta apps (do not over wright original content) i have experienced a loss when doing that.

    @Egor please work on performance over features. also talk to the team about cleaning up user voice. Items that have little or less than 1k votes are getting completed over items that have 3k+ votes?
    Performance is a problems that need to be fixed over more features.
    --- 2023-04-26 ---
    Just played with the BETA. that would work just would need an update tool but resetting the would not be that big of a deal. also should match the documents ruler so when i change dimensions from PX to IN it will update all the measurements.

    David: If only cad tools would be cheaper so everyone could afford it when i send them AI documents. or allow for them to edit them even if they do not have cad tools.
    it also does not work on the cloud share live edit. I would hope adobe would make simple measurement tools to not fridge on cad tools. or maybe cad tools offer a smaller package allowing single tools like astute. I would be open to 5-10 a month but 20 a month is too high for me. and all i need is measurement tools. i have created my own with 9slice and graphic styles and all i need to do is edit the number, but that is still a one by one option.

    i asked for Astute to create something basic like this.

    there should be an option to convert them at least once. and let you know they were converted but there would be not option to go back to pantone's full catalog.
    i understand the limits but it was up to adobe to provide a transmission.

    UPDATE: its adobe's fault .... now $5k + in equipment now no longer usable with any adobe software. but corel and afinity are all ok.

    Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – 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.

    last time i spoke with a dev team member this was going to be fixed ? and now years later still no fix. and this is more important https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/20423296-make-illustrator-multi-threaded-on-cpu please vote

    this is not done and also this is not the highest priority item! PLEASE work accordingly to this platform. stop adding features till bugs and workflow request are complete.
    im the only one left in my company using illustrator and photo shop. all others have left do to the platforms stability. yes we have now asked for this for years and you reply saying it will now be off by default and there was never any change. i feel like adobe Devs do not care about there real clients.

    David - Great example of Quark.
    I was on the phone with an adobe rep for illustrator and he did not seam to care about my complaints. He did not even know about user voice. I gave him a list of problems Him:"ill bring these complaints to my team". Me:"please let me know what you have". him"reading his list..." me"wow you skipped over 5 items that are the most important. please use user voice to take what is the most needed." him:"whats user voice" me facepalming. "the app adobe setup to take bugs and user requests". so my verdict of adobe is they no linger care. or hire people that do not do there jobs.

    In CC 2019 (latest update 23.0.1), at 100% Zoom 1inch artwork would display at 1inch in physical (Print) size, on any display. If this doesn’t work right for screen design workflows, please use the checkbox Preferences > General > Display Print Size at 100% Zoom, to turn off the feature. Currently this feature works only on primary display, and there are plans of extending this to other attached displays.
