Questions

I would like to increase the thickness of the logo (image 1) like in the second image which I got chat GPT to render, although maybe not quite as thick - what is the easiest way to achieve this?I created the attached shape (image 1) using a grid split into triangles, The logo is made up of multiple different shapes - red section, green section, yellow section, red-yellow gradient section, yellow-green gradient section, I also had to add gradient rectangles in the negative space within the logo after making the corners curved so that they inner curves would capture the gradient in a clipping mask.Any help would be much appreciated! 

I've used the "Make Pattern" hundreds of time before, but now when I select an object and click "Make Pattern" I only get an error message that says "Can't define a new pattern from the current art." The current art is litterally just an ellipse, nothing complicated. What am I missing here?

Eu não consigo fazer download do SDK do Illustrator na página https://developer.adobe.com/console/3445645/servicesandapis , ele para na url https://developer.adobe.com/console/3445645/OK sem retornar nada. Ao tentar pela aba download history, ele faz download de um arquivo de 2kb.

Whilst using illustrator on iMac machine keeps restarting continuously until I quit app on startup. All apps and os are up to date. Its driving me insane

I'm an interaction designer, and therefore my designs are composed of a multitude of controls, each one with different details. Right now, I'm working on a 141 layer document. It would come in handy to have several layers grouped by UI control, making it much quicker to find and edit what I want.

Illustratorでテキストの縦横比を変える時に、記号だけは100%のまま固定して編集できる方法を教えて欲しい

I have seen similar post involving “Raster Link” (whatever that is), but it was for a laptop and the solutions did not apply to a desktop. This problem is for a desktop and I have used this illustrator worksheet to print business cards for at least a year with no issues.  Now suddenly black prints out as green!  I have tried a few things with the settings to no avail. I have updated drivers, etc. Why would things be going along nicely then boom, black becomes green? I should mention this issue is only with Illustrator.  Photoshop is not affected nor any other program that prints.  All else comes out in black.

Hi! I recently built a free, open source parametric grid generator script for Illustrator and would like to share it with the community. Is this the right place to post it, or is there a better channel for sharing scripts and tools?Thanks in advance. 

Why are the AI filters Adobe is releasing now getting more expensive? Ya, I get the server charges, but is every filter from here on out going to cost a subscription plus a ton of credits?Is it just me or do others sense that Adobe is getting close to charging by the minute to use their IP?So I guess my question is, what are others thinking about this and what is your threshold before jumping  ship?

Horrible lagging in illustrator. Impossible to get any work done, can't move any objects without it buffering . Tries to click any item and there is no response from illustrator. I uninstall the 30.0 version and reinstalled the 29 versions and it doesn't fix anything. Was working completely perfectly yesterday. Attached video below. MAC(2022)M2, 16GB RAM MacOS 15.6.1 (24G90) 

When I log into my Adobe account, I subscribe to Illustrator for iPad and when I logged in all my files have disappeared, please help

Since the last update, Illustrator is unusable. It lags and freezes when draging objects, zooming in and out, scroll through the work. It's not a hardware issue, or driver issue and everything else (Photoshop. Lightroom, Premiere, After effects, Indesign) work fine. It's just illustrator. So it doesn't respond to the mouse and it acts broken. I don't know what else to say, but it's unusable. Had anyone experienced this? I have unistalled it and installed it again... Even before last update it was super buggy making the "bell" noise when selecting object with the mouse like there was a text box open (even if it was not) and I looked in task manager and there was nothing there that could have not allow me to move objects with the mouse. What's up with illustrator and can I have a work with anyone about this?

Hello,   The last time I used Illustrator, it was the version previous to 2021. I was able to import and export workspaces from the Workspaces menu in that version. Now I've got Illustrator 2021, and I can't find a way to import a workspace from the Workspaces menu or the preferences, and I can't find anything online that says that others have had the same problem. I also tried copying the .exec file of my custom workspace into the folder with the rest of the workspaces, but it seems to be a different file type than the pre-installed ones, and it's not showing up in the Illustrator application.   Does anyone know what might be wrong, or what I can do?

I want to translate the old text into English, but the original text may have been converted to curves. I need to create a text frame of the same size (the exact height might be difficult to achieve, so the same width would work as well).I’d like the script to move the selected objects to the “old layer,” hide that layer, create a “area text box” of the same size in the original position, and move that text box to the “Text layer.”If possible, please pre-fill it with the letter “O” 

After the last update of the application, the following pop-up appears every time after launching:  How can I stop it?Thanks in advance.

Hello. I've been experiencing an issue in the latest release of Adobe Illustrator (29.8.1). After creating artwork in the centre of the canvas and inlcuding text boxes I've encountered an error where the text moves outside of the box diagonally and moves the other objects with it. If I click on the text the text box is selected, but in its original position. It's only after resizing the text box that the text itself reverts back to appearing in the box. This has been an issue before, in earlier version, but this is now moving non-text objects away from their original position. I've had to correct two artworks that have had this error already. The only trigger I can think of is when the artwork is saved under a new filename after being created - for a duplicate file as an example. Please see the screenshots below for further context.

Hi.  I’m trying to generate an image and while it does turn it into a generative object, I can’t seem to access the slider bar whether I’m using regular AI or the AI Beta version (both up to date.)  How can I fix it?

the last illustrator updates keeps stucking in this point at launch 

Hello Adobe Team and Community,I am experiencing a critical, persistent freezing issue with Adobe Illustrator 2026 on my Windows machine. The application launches fine, but it completely freezes and becomes unresponsive ("Not Responding") the exact moment I attempt to create a New Document or open any existing .ai file. It gets stuck indefinitely on the "Welcome to Illustrator" screen.Interestingly, I have found two specific workarounds, but both severely impact my professional workflow: Running as Administrator: If I launch Illustrator as an Administrator, files open perfectly fine without any freezes. However, due to Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions, running in Admin Mode completely breaks the "Drag and Drop" functionality for images and assets from Windows Explorer into the canvas. Disabling GPU Performance: If I open Illustrator (via Admin mode), navigate to Preferences > Performance, and uncheck "GPU Performance", the application no longer freezes when opening
