I'm not sure what the solution is, but I can tell you the experience I've had on my own computer.  In Preference > Performance, I've turned off Use Graphics Processor. I did that when I started getting messages that my graphics professor was not compatible, even though it has the newest update and my computer is only about 2 years old. However, in order to use certain features, for instace facial recognigion in the Liquify filter, I turn Use Graphics Processor on. Afterwards I turn it off again because if I doon't turn it off, my screen display goes wacky. ... View more

I'm not sure exactly what you want the illustration to look like. But this is what I did. Maybe that is what you are looking for:  Starting with the outer shape: I copied the shape and edited it using Pathfinder so that it wasn't as wide.  I put the text inside the edited shape, Making sure that the edited shape with on top of the text. Selecting both the text and dthe outer shape,and choosing Object > Envelope Distort > Make with top object resuted in this: Then I overlapped the text onto the original outer shape: You may want to adjust some of the letters. If so, select the text object and Object > Expand > Object. then Object > Path > Simplify. Now you can manipulate the anchor points on the text to adjust it. ... View more

Select the shape layer that has the rectangle. You can quickly select the rectangle itself by Control clicking on the layer. With the rectangle selected, click the Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel to add a mask. Click the Mask icon in the Layers panel to highlight it. Then use the Feather slider in the Properties panel to adjust the fade on the edges.  I'm not sure why the layer with the rectangle is set to Multiply mode. If it's because you want the underlaying layer to show through the rectangle, alternatively you could set the layer to Normal mode and lower the opacity of the layer. ... View more

You can automate with the Actions panel. Open an image you want to adjust -- you must have an image open in order to create an action. In the Actions panel, click the New Action icon at the bottom of the panel.  Give the action a name and click Record. Make the Levels adjustment that you want and click OK. If that's all  you want in the Action, click the Stop/Playing Recording button at the bottom of the Actions panel. You can now close your file and choose whether or not to save it. Since you are applying the Action to multiple files, you can set up a Batch action. Before doing that, it's best to put all the images to be processed into a folder, and create another folder for the processed files to be saved into. Under the File menu, choose Automate > Batch. Choose the action, the folder of the source files, the folder for the processed files, and click OK.   Make the Levels adjustment. ... View more

Illustrator is not very accurate when equalizing the sides. In your example, it would seem from the tool tip that each side would end up measuring 29.25, but that is not the case. All the sides resize and none equal 29.25; all the sides are shorter than that. This link may be helpful: https://www.deke.com/content/precisely-sizing-any-polygon-in-adobe-illustrator   ...
