You can: 1: Use the Pathfinder panel to make a compound shape from live text (no need to outline it first), then apply the gradient 2: apply a new fill to the text object using the Appearance panel (Window > Appearance) and then apply a gradient to that (again no need to outline the text) ...

Just select them all and click Exclude in the Pathfinder panel. This will get the direction correctly.   And then please post this to illustrator.uservoice.com ... View more

Setting up correct line thickness and color coding, layer names, path names and whatnot for your particular equipment can be very specific. So you will need to do that based on the hardware documentation.   The other things have changed slightly during the past years, but not so much that people cannot figure it out. There are videos in the Learn panel and also in the online documentation.  ... View more

This is possible in the color management settings.    I would rather set up sRGB for the new document. Then you can design with that in mind, because with some colors it can make a huge difference. You could just check out which workflow gives you the better results and then continue according to whtever you found out for the next documents. ... View more

It needs to be RGB of course. I was thinking since you said you designed a carousel post that this already is in RGB. ... View more

Make sure each of the grahics is its own group and they are not grouped together. Then use the 3D & Materials panel. Like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/FI_cz0qWirk?feature=share  ... View more

For large format printing you can often send RGB files, which will give you a slightly better result than when you do a conversion in Illustrator. But still you will probably not be able to get that color. Talk to the printer. ... View more

When exporting an SVG Illustrator uses the unit pixel in the code.   What most probably happens is that when converting mm to pixels, Illustrator and your plotter driver use a different resolution.    So in order to correct that, you will have to set up your documents not in mm or inches, but in pixels. For that you need to figure out which resolution the plotter driver uses for conversion. ... View more

Cleaning up unnecessary clip groups: probably check out the plugin VectorFirstAid (not free)   As for converting rectangles to lines, you could try this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/new-year-new-strokes/m-p/12629248   But frankly: if it doesn't work for you, then that's that. Everything can only be a workaround. ... View more

I don't know what video really needs and I hope the people in the After Effects forum have some answers for you. There should be at least some who work on mobile devices. ... View more

I see you have asked the same question in the After Effects board, which is what I wanted to propose. I think the bottlenecks would be expected more on the video and 3D side.   I have a Macbook 14" M1 with 32 GB of RAM. The thing is 4 years old now and it's a nice machine. I'm not creating super huge Illustrator files though - sometimes I need to open huge files created by other people (I remember a 2 GB .AI file which was set up in an unfortunate way; I think it was a blend between 3 3D objects or something. That one took some time to open). I'm doing a bit of 3D (also not too intricate) and some silghtly larger InDesign files. Everything is nice and smooth.   I totally feel your point about 16" and portability. Exactly the reason why I'm sticking with 14". ... View more

Which language is it? Are there any special invisible characters in the text? Does that happen with all text copied from Word? Does that happen with all fonts? Is the font assigned correctly in Illustrator?   Does that also happen when you save the text in a Work file and open that in Illustrator? ... View more

You could try and boot into Safe Mode and then not run anything else. Then check out if it works.    Unfortunately Illustrator only cares about its own work requirements, not about anyone else's. ... View more

They are more different than they are similar.  Outline stroke outlines strokes (without actually outlining anything, it just pretends, because it is an effect) Offset path enlarges or shrinks shapes. Only when applied to an open path it might look like it does the same as outline stroke (but only when you offset with 0).  ... View more

That is something that probably no one can or will tell you publicly. You can turn off automatic updates of Illustrator and then figure out what you need to change in your workflow in order to make the current SVG version work for you. ... View more

Image trace can also trace strokes. Most of the time the results are crap, but with these kind of artworks there is a slight chance that it could somewhat work.   You have a lot of several lines that meet in the same point and that is regularly what breaks everything in this kind of task.   You probably wondered why you got only one answer: you won't get more. There is no solution to your problem. ... View more
