You can only remove custom page sizes you added to new pages. See the garbage can on top right.
You could make your favorite sizes under saved tab and use that. I agree si annoying seeing those sizes you do not use every day. Would be nice if you could get teh garbage can on all of them.

With direct select tool Option click to select one group. Cut that , select all, delete then paste. Add your colored strokes and fills in appearance, then you can move just one point.
May Odin be with you.

Sonds liek a FONDID conflict. Try flushing your font cache and uninstalling unused fonts.

What happens if you drag the script from your desktop and drop on to a page in illustrator to run? Is it a .jsx or.js
If it works from actions, maybe try actions flyout menu >> button mode or set a key command if you can find an empty one.

What OS and Illustrator version are you using? Is good practice to provide that when posting, so you get a faster answer. On mac right click on print and choose set as default.

I think they posted bad info on v29 as I saw this.
"The product is great but unfortunately it doesn't work in AI 2025, version 29.2.1.
I have downloaded version 28.27.4 and here it works."
I would try 28.27.4

What does it look like in outline mode? Correct or incorrect. Could be a redraw issue.
OS & System match
What version of OS & Illustrator are you using? Make sure your application and OS are compatible with each other.

Try using the nonlossy .psd format for transparency instead. Does that work better?

Ilustrator allows you to use the exact same name for multiple artbaords, and should save individual files for each. This gets really confusing though, and I would take the time to rename the artboards.
Also try using the artboards flyour menu >> Rearrange all Artbaord. this can help eliminate confusion or artboards in wrong order.
When I encountered such issues in the past, it was a actaully human error, where I thought my artbaords were in a different order.
Also try selecting the artboard tool. You will then see highlighted in artboard palette the name of the selected artboard, and a footed line around the selected artboard.

Thank you for taking the time to come back and share you found a solution. Please come back as we like people like yourself that follow up on their posts, and we hope to have the opportunity to help you next time.
My guess is you may have been using the Direct Select tool to select your time. I always switch to the top normal Selection tool, to ensure am selecting group, masked groups, etc.

I would avoid placing jpeg, adn use .PSD instead. I see you haevconcoet boards so the quality of lossy compression is not an issue, but for an example one single CMYK jpg can cause issues like that. There really is no reason for a CMYK jpeg, but it is allowed.
I cannot see your filenames, but be careful of using non-alphanumeric characters. Slashes and colons and additional periods outside the file extension separator should never be used. Most others characters like underscores, parenthesis, dashes are ok.

Your last workspace configuration should come up. Saving it as Ton recommended is an excellent suggestion. It would only change if you change it, or if your computer crashed and your prefs were not saved.

What happens if you try to place a file that is NOT from the Creative Cloud folder? Are they still greyed out?
Try dragging & dropping file from your Mac finder to the canvas.

The color settings need to be the same on both computers, not files. Otherwise you will be asked to convert, as shown.

That screenshot is from a Photoshop shortcut, so you can not do that in Illustrator.
You can though use the flyout menu option. It is often greyed out so I never use as it is very picky.

Sorry you are experiencing trouble. You would need to provide an example in detail so we can recreate adn trace your steps to help you diagnose what is happening. You also should provide your OS & hardware specifications.
I understand you are frustrated, but we are here to help solve problems, and complaining will not help you get any closer to resolving your issues.
Make sure your application and OS are compatible with each other.

Yes you must keep your strokes to the default of align center.
You should also see if you can upgrade your lasercutter software, or if other vector file formats are preferred (SVG, pdf, dxf). AI8 is very old and you may run into other problems covering such as type shifts.

Check the blending mode in the transparency panel of the lighting bolt. Depending on how constructed you may be able to change blending g mode to normal.
