Hola!Soy ilustrador y he visto que en la beta Illustrator 29.9.14 ya está disponible la opción de Turntable. He instalado la beta que tengo en español (29.9) y no me aparece la opcion. ¿es por el idioma o es porque aún no me ha llegado la opcion de probar esta beta? Sea como sea en el panel de aplicaciones beta de Crative Cloud no indica nunca la version completa que te instalas hasta que ya lo has hecho ¿hay alguna manera de comprobar esto antes de instalarlo? Gracias

I saved my Illustrator presentation on the cloud a few days ago. Now, when I tried to reopen that document from the cloud, it appears that any text (English & Arabic) in the document had disappeared suddenly, with their groups in the layer panel having empty layers as shown in the screenshot (it's not a white text) and [recovered] beside the document name from the cloudI'm using the latest Illustrator version 29.7.1  

Dear Adbobe experts,  I have been running into an issue which I have attacked from many different angels and cannot see to solve it. I have an opacity mask grain effect that is applied to a graphic. The grain looks amazing on a large scale but when scaling down the whole image the grain becomes distorted and rigid. I understand this is just because the scale is so small that I cannot achieve a smooth grain effect but is there any work arounds or ways grain can be applied to small scales? Best, Seb

Hi there everyone! I have managed to write a script to create a rectangle the size of whatever the artboard is, but I also need to create additional rectangles that are 6mm less wide and tall than the artboard, and then 12mm less wide and tall than the artboard. My current script to do this is:function createRectOnArtboard() { var doc = app.activeDocument; var artboard = doc.artboards[ doc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex() ]; var bounds = artboard.artboardRect; var rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle( bounds[0], bounds[1], bounds[2], bounds[3] * -1 ); rect.name = artboard.name; }; createRectOnArtboard();I am not bothered if the solution is an addition/amendment to the above script, or completely entirely new code... just as long as I end up with 3 separate rectangles at artboard size, artboard size -6x-6, artboard size -12x-12.Thank you so much in advance, and have a lovely week!

When I try to save a file this dialog window keeps popping up, it says "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." I'm using windows 10 with the latest version of Illustrator CC

Our graphics department for our custom printing business uses several javascript programs for Illustrator to help automate and process files to create proofs, send acknowledgments, etc. We had a consultant we used previously but they have discontinued their consulting business and are not able to help us anymore. Does anyone know of any companies or consultants they have used and would highly recommend for this type of work? Thanks! Jeremy BoutotGathr Outdoors

Color was set to CMYK, how to make file shows CMYK?   

Hi! we found to move our data from one server to another.The ending of the path will stay the same. But the servername will change and there is nothing we can do about it. Ive looked up the internet and found a script for InDesign. With this script it is possible to Re-Link links to a new path. It works a treat and is great! If anyone is interested, i got it from here:http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/link/restore_paths_of_links.html We would want to use the same script for Illustrator, if there is one..If anybody knows a script like this or could help me build one, i'd very much appreciate that.. Thank you!

Hello! So I was making a flat landscape little thing here, and I must've clicked something without knowing because this showed up! I can't seem to figure out what it is or what caused it. The little X next to the 3 sided square doesn't do anything either.Thank you!

Is there a way to change which character is being appended when exporting artboards? I can't seem to find anything in the preferences to do this. Currently, AI is automatically adding an underscore + the artboard name. But rather than an underscore I would like to use a dash.As an example, say I have a file named: icons.ai There are a variety of artboards in this file. And currently, when exporting them, they use an underscore: icons_artboard01.pngHowever, I would like them to use a dash instead: icons-artboard01.pngDoes anyone know how do do this? Currently I'm having to change them after the fact by hand, which becomes extremely tedious when you are dealing with a large number of icons.Additional info: Adobe Illustrator CS6, Mac.

Hi! Sometime over the last month, I noticed that when I save a new project for the first time, the file format is defaulted to "ArcGIS - Georeferenced PDF (Beta) (pdf)" instead of the usual "Adobe Illustrator (ai)". This has caused me to lose a lot of time and work because this file type doesn't save layers or anything like that. Can someone please tell me how to change the default back to .ai? MacOS = Sequoia 15.6Illustrator = 29.7.1ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud = 3.9.0 (if this is relevant)

Bonjour, J'ai détouré mes photos dans Photoshop. Quand je les copie/colle dans Illustrator, la qualité est mauvaise. Et même dans Photoshop, la qualité est mauvaise. Comment est-ce que ça se fait ? Comment faire pour que la qualité ne se détériore pas ? J'ai modifié la résolution des logiciels après. Mais rien y change.  Merci pour votre aide. ClaireMylene

How do I recreate this effect? The circle slowly transforms into a hexagon by repeating and each repeat is closer to a hexagon...

Having so much trouble with this Illustrator update. Crashed, froze, crashed, rebooted, reupdated, couple of hours wasted. I updated again and finally it's working but now every file I open it says the color profile is wrong and wants to change it to RGB. I am working on print jobs and I don't want my color profiles changed, especially to RGB! If you don't accept the change the file won't open. HELP! What can be done to stop this? 

Greetings! I've been looking for solutions in the community for the past months and I can't find anything that solves my problem. While working on Illustrator, my pinch zoom will stop working at random periods and come back minutes or seconds later. I am using the latest version of Illustrator (2023, 27.2), on an MacBook Air M1 2020, which is also running the latest version of MacOS Ventura 13.0.1. Things I've tested: If I simply switch apps, my pinch-to-zoom works on any other software; If I keep trying it eventually works again; Quitting and reopening illustrator doesn't necessarily solve the issue. It kinda does it on its own time. Other trackpad funcions such as dragging with two fingers to pan, work normally all the time. I don't usually mess with settings but the main suggestion on the forums which is to enable GPU Acceleration and so on are all turned on. I also checked to see if any trackpad settings are wrong, but it's all normal. I honestly

I tried to use Photoshop generative Fill and Illustrator Generative Fill recently and after showing the load bar it says that there is a high demand and I have to try later. I had no such a problem before, it worked correctly, but not now.

Also, I get an error in Adobe Express online.
