So if the 2020 made files are resaved as CC(Legacy), then 2019 machines will be able to open them correctly?

Is there at least a way to enable saving to legacy formats for compatibilty?

What is the recommended way to use Illustrator across teams that use different versions? In the past this has not been an issue. What is so different about the 2020 version that sacrifices that compatibility?

I am noticing that working files started with Illustrator 2020 are becoming corrupted when opened in Illustrator 2019. Layer information is being collapsed into clip groups. Is there a setting that can stop this from happening?

I have noticed that my ability to toggle between locking and unlocking a layer has been inconsistent lately. Right now I have a piece open where I am having to lock and unlock individual elements on my first layer, because I can't do it on the layer itself. It can't be a setting because the 2nd layer toggles just fine. This isn't the first time this has happened lately. I'm wondering if it is a known bug. I am running cc2019 on an iMac with OS Mojave.

Does anyone here happen to know a way to export all layers into individual images, in my case .pngs specifically? I found a script that would allow me to do it with everything sized to the artboard, but what I'd really like is to be able to do it as though each layer was exported individually without consideration to the artboard, so sized just to the piece of art. I thought I'd ask and see if anyone happens to know a trick or a script for that. FYI, this is the script that does it to artboard size, which is a good one on it's own, just not quite what I need this time. http://www.ericson.net/content/2010/10/export-layers-as-pngs/

Yes, you can draw a shape using the pen tool, and then create a clipping mask with it, if that's what you're after. Make sure your masking shape is on top, then select them all and go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make

Anyone here know how I can open an image sequence as a multilayered single piece of artwork? I'm trying to compare some frames, and I know I've done this before by accident, but now that I actually want my png sequence to open as layers, I can't seem to do it. It's 2400 frames I'm trying to compare, so it's ridiculous to try to place them all individually. I need a way to grab and drop these into a layered view. Fingers crossed that one of you knows how to do this today.

If I'm reading your correctly, I think you'd want to have your single symbol file, and then layer that within a precomp, and then use your alpha or opacity adjustments on the precomp within your main timeline.

Okay, so it still won't tell you the frame numbers from the png sequence itself, but it will count frame by frame using Dave's trick. So, it's still kind of tricky, if you do the math, you can go 45 frames into the one that starts at frame 955, and 200 frames into the one that starts at frame 800 and mark frame 1000 on both and so on. So thank you, that's a useable trick. I had no idea about that command click on the time count too. That's brilliant.

Some content is more challenging to line up than others and multiple layers add complexity to finding the slipped layer when one gets off by a frame. Sounds like there isn't a better way to do it though, so I'll keep on the way I've been doing. It comes up often enough in my work flow that it was worth asking and seeing if I might be missing some cool trick. The fact that AE always knows what frame to what frame I've imported in a clip and if any are skipped made me think that maybe it could find a specific one for me.

I'm looking for a way to mark a matching point by the frame number within a clip. There is no timecode. It isn't video. This is just with png sequences, but they don't start and end in the same place. So a guide to a shared frame would be really helpful in lining things up properly.

Is the background grey also getting darker? Or am I just imagining that because of the other darkened colors?

So, I'm pretty sure that the answer is no, but I just thought I'd check. Is there any way to actually view the frame count on a png sequence from the middle of the clip? So, if I'm lining up an animation sequence that runs from frame 400 - frame 800, and overlaying a shorter clip that matches up but only runs frame 510 - frame 650, is there anyway that I can be in the middle of those clips and get a visual to sync them up by, other than just trying to get the picture matched just so? I'm working with a multi-layered animation, and something that would help me line up frame 600 from one clip with frame 600 from another clip despite them starting and ending at different frames would be really helpful here. There isn't anything like that that I've just missed is there? If there was audio, I'd turn on the waveform view and let that help me. Or even just some sort of command where I could say to place a marker at exactly frame 800 on these four clips, is there anything like that?

I think so, but you have to grab a Java plugin. I think this is it. Download Java for OS X 2017-001

As long as you are consistent about which way you do it, and your objects are exactly the same size, and you don't have hidden objects or text boxes that could be affecting what size Illustrator makes the export, you should be okay there. Looking at this again, I'm realizing that your buttons on the right are just longer than the ones on the left. And they appear to be resizing to match. Check the dimensions of your button shape. See above where Grant is pointing this out with the pink line. I just didn't register it yesterday. But yeah, you're giving them different widths of buttons.

Just wondering - are you consistently exporting to your artboard or to your shape? If you have that box checked for some and unchecked for others, you'll wind up with differently sized artwork.

Can you print a test copy at home to see if the problem persists? If so, seems like it's got to be the file. If not, something has likely changed with your print shop.

You could also try exporting png files with transparency individually and putting them back together in Photoshop if that gets you something you can work with.

Does it have to be transparent in the png, or just keep the effect of looking transparent? What if you draw a solid white background behind your object? Then it would maybe export solid, but appear the way you want?

Bah, I finally figured this out. Y'all were right about the appearance panel. I just couldn't fathom what I could possibly be looking for there other than that yeah, it's a circle with a stroke, and when I was first looking, that's all I was seeing. And I remade the circle so many times and with different details all to the same result that I was getting frustrated with being asked for screenshots of the circle. BUT, it looks like the problem was that the stroke was defaulting to align inside the circle rather than centered, and apparently you can't use that button if the circle is aligned inside. The pen tool work around was working because it was realigning the stroke as well as copying the gradient application. For anyone else coming across this (and I've seen several posts asking for help on this but none with answers), the stroke has to be center aligned. You can select that with this here. And yeah, when I went back from scratch and did it again, I did get a clue in the Appearance panel. Right there next to where it shows the width of the stroke it says "Inside". My previous file didn't have anything there because I was looking after I'd already done the work around with the pen and eyedropper tools, and it doesn't say anything about the alignment at all there when the stroke is centered. It normally just gives the stroke width, shows if there is a gradient, and if there is opacity. Oh, and it turned out that the gradient fill was irrelevant. You can see in this one, I didn't even have one of those that time. But apparently stroke alignment matters quite a lot for some reason. Thanks to all for the help. I would not have kept going back to the appearance panel after not getting anywhere with it the first time, if y'all hadn't been asking for screenshots of it.

It looks normal, but acts the same as if it were greyed out. It's impossible to select.

The screenshot from the original post contains all the information. The shape was literally just a circle with a linear gradient fill, and linear gradient stroke. I rebuilt it repeatedly. I guess it must just be a bug. Maybe the workaround with using the pen tool to draw a line, applying the stroke across the gradient there, and then eyedropping onto the circle, letting it overwrite your fill, and remaking your fill, really is the most efficient way to do this. That's disappointing, but at least it eventually gets the job done.

To what end exactly? This was literally just a circle with a gradient fill and gradient stroke. I'm trying to learn what prevents the option of applying a gradient across the stroke rather than just the left to right gradient in that simple situation.

It's literally just a circle, with a 4pt stroke, with the gradients seen in the screenshot attached. I finally got around the issue by drawing a line with the pen tool, and it allowed me the usual options for that. And then I eyedropped the line onto the circle. I had to redo my fill gradient then, but now I have the gradient applied across the stroke as intended. But that can't possibly be the intended workflow. I'm still interested to learn what the hitch is that I was running into.
