Questions

A designer friend of mine shared a live illustrator file with me on cloud. We've been collaborating on the file perfectly well till last week. Today, I tried to open the same file and CC Desktop app gave me this error. I am lost. What do I do? 

I have designed and installed vehicle graphics before but never actual wraps.  Unlike boxy vans and trucks, sports cards and other vehicles sometimes have a lot of curves.  How do you design a wrap that factors in the curves to meet up, like maybe when it comes to the front fenders to smoothly meet up with the hood and the doors?  Are there plugins for something like this or maybe a separate program all together that some how works this stuff together into printable files?

Please enable or create an easy way to permanently set default font in illustrator

Illustrator can recognize a lot of special characters, even soft returns (^n), but it cannot recognize hard returns in the search/replace fields.  I can do this type of search/replace in other Adobe Apps, but not Illustrator.  Its typically (^p) in other apps.  This would be super helpful for us and seems like an oversight)  Hopefully an easy fix. 

Hi, the quick command in Illustrator for text kerning doesnt work anymore. Anyone knows how to fix it? 

Usually Object-->Blend -->Make's one new image in between two already exisiting images but in my case it makes many. What is the reason?   

I downloaded an SVG image of an ear from Canva and opened it in Illustrator to place it inside a box. However, after exporting the edited file as an SVG again, some parts of the image are getting cropped.

Yesterday while working on an illustrator project (that i have been working for the past weeks) suddendly the fonts started to change appearence and I notice it wasn't recognizing anymore fonts that i have synced previously. I went to adobefonts browser to check if fonts where synced or not and the issue is that some how it unsynced some of the fonts without my command, and also a lot of the fonts that remained synced were not reflected into the illustrator. So I have to unsynced it online (on the browser) and synced again and sometimes this fixes the issue. Other not. To worst things the missing fonts (previously synced from adobe fonts) do not appear highlighted or warning that they are missing, so I only notice if i know the font real aesthetics and see that they changed. Or have to click it and see the small dot on the character table symbolizing that is missing. Has anyone experience this? Any suggestion on how to fix it? 

Hello, we are using Summa S-Class 2 T and for it we had an Illustrator plugin which added OPOS Registration Marks. We used it on MAC and now we have moved to Windows computer, so we cannot use the old plugin we had. The main problem is that the workplace which needs it is using a CS6 version of Illustrator. My question is, if it is possible to find a plugin that adds these marks for CS6 version? I could not find any on the internet. I will be happy for any information.

2 дня не могу сохранить файли в иллюстраторе, зависает при сохраниние и вылетает. Пробовала переустановить программу, очистить кеш, откат настроек, пересохранять файли в другие папки и другими форматами -  ничего не помогло. Решила попробовать загрузить старее версию, но при загрузке начало выдавать сбой и проблему медленного соединения. Что делать? смысл програми еси не могу сохранить ничего) предпологаю что в сбой в самой программе или в его обновлении.

I recently downloaded a trial version of CADtools but have decided I don't want to use it because it is slowing down my work flow. How can I completely uninstall this plugin and all of it's associated files? I can't find a plug-in folder for Adobe CC, and I've gone through and deleted the CADtools files in the Illustrator CS6 plug-ins folder. Thanks!

I have been having a problem recently with the Export for Screens option not functioning. It seems no matter what I try, I am consitantly getting the same error and nothing happens. I can save out each individual artboard, but this is a huge waste of time. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

I have the following illustration below in which I typed text on a path, but I'd like to have the bottom text be right side up (like how the 'Top' text is) and I've tried various options within text on a path, but just can't seem to get the 'Bottom' text to flip and be upright per se. How can I go about fixing this?Thx

I've been having this issue for a while and have no clue what's up. When I scroll it gets stuck and starts scrolling endlessly and I can't use tools like pencil or pen.

Dear All, Today, I encountered an issue with text flowing and noticed a new hidden character (marked in blue). Could you please explain the usage of this character and how to create it? 

Hello,I need BIG help with vectors in Illustrator.I need to send a logo for printing in 2 days... I thought it would be good to do in Photoshop, but printer says that it must to be created from vectors. We will make a patch from it on clothes.I have the logo ready, but I need to make a vector version. When I go to Illustrator and do automatic vectorization, it is generally good, except for a few details. When I want to edit that detail,  it is still visible on the printout and I don't know what to do... 😕😕Can someone please help me?

I seem to be having trouble adding elements to the Library. Right now, when I select a Layer with groups of several layers and drag it into the library, the library turns it into a flat object (Artwork AI). When I try to add that group to a document, the layers are all gone and I can't edit it. I also notice that if I go into one of my libraries to work from it, the library panel will freeze and not let me do anything within that library or even go out to my list of libraries. I have to close and restart AI to get the libraries panel to function again. Does anyone know how I might fix this, or the best place/forum to go to get troubleshooting help? Thanks!!

HI all. I'm having an issue where I can't reorder the color swatches in the palette. If I drag a new green that I've added to be down with the other greens, it either stays where it was, or reorders everything. If I quit Illustrator and fire it back up, I can edit the palette. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks. Ai 29.4 (to avoid the font mixups), MBP M3 Max running OS 15.6.  

This is happening intermittently and all appears normal on screen when the EPS files is saving. It's only when closing and then reopening the EPS file that the movement occurs on a single layer. Normally this is a print layer that moves when the other layers are paths.

Hello! After a illustrator update about a month ago, Ive had the issue of patterns that I use showing up like this in illustrator. When i export it to images, and preview the file itself, it doesnt show like this. Is there a setting thats possibly turned on thats making my patterns look like this? This was previously not an issue before.If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I can't delete this folder called "Southridge". I made it over a year ago and tried to move it into the "LTI jobs" folder but it won't move or delete. Its been this way for a year and I've tried several times over the year.

Currently I tried to create gradient meshes from an underlying image, what I do now is first create the shape then sample colors for each vertex one by one using an eyedropper. When you directly create a gradient mesh from an image, the colors are automatically sampled. Is there a way to do similar thing such that the colors of all the vertices can be directly sampled at the same positions from the underlying image?

I have a bug that after I change the units preference from points to mm. If I then go back in to preferences after, and change the keyboard increment distance and click ok, the transform palette and rulers, etc are back in points. I then have to go back in to preferences to change it again.Also, I use cmd+K to access this panel and for years have then just been able to type a new increment, but now it starts typing in the search bar instead. Really annoying to change over 20 years of learned experience.
