Product: Adobe IllustratorIssue Type: Bug / RegressionPlatform: Windows 11 (también sería útil indicar tu versión exacta de Illustrator)Severity: Medium–High (afecta la precisión y velocidad del flujo de trabajo)DescriptionHe encontrado un comportamiento que parece ser un error en las versiones recientes de Adobe Illustrator.Cuando un objeto vectorial contiene trazos (strokes) y se encuentra fuera de la mesa de trabajo (Artboard), resulta extremadamente difícil seleccionar directamente dichos trazos con la herramienta Selección (V).El problema ocurre independientemente del grosor del trazo. Aunque visualmente el trazo es visible, Illustrator parece reducir significativamente el área de detección o "hit area" del mismo, obligando al usuario a hacer múltiples intentos para poder seleccionarlo.Sin embargo, cuando exactamente el mismo objeto se coloca dentro de la mesa de trabajo, el trazo es detectado y seleccionado inmediatamente, como ocurría normalmente en versiones anteriores del prog

Bonjour, Lorsque j'essaie de sauvegarder un modèle sous Illustrator, j'ai le message suvant : "impossible d'enregistrer l'illustration. Vos droits d'accès sont insuffisants." J'utilise la v 27.6 sous masOS Ventura 13.3.1. Mille mercis par avance de vos éclairages... Blandine

Hi, I’m learning a few things on Illustrator and  need help creating a shape like the first image with corner toggles on each end to create a sharp point. It looks like it was made with the ellipse tool, but obviously not. Does anyone know how this shape was made as it seems circular? I need to re-create it and would appreciate the help. Thanks Shape with corner toggles  

I’m trying to crop an image, but every time I take the crop selection to the edge, it goes past and wants me to generate. It won’t let me crop off the portion not selected. The artwork goes the the very edge of the image, so there is no room for me to stop short. What do I need to do to get it to stop at the edge rather than going past or to switch it back from generate to crop?

Some previously activated/added Adobe Fonts are not loading in the font menu when Illustrator loads. The fonts appear to be available to add in the "Find More" tab. When clicking the add icon, the double arrow icon shows as if the font is installing, yet it never does install. I have taken the following actions: Restarted IllustratorUpdated IllustratorRestarted PCSigned out and back inOpened and quit and reopened the Adobe Creative Cloud app I am on Windows 11 with Illustrator 29.4

I tried deleting the guides, but it only executed up to the second loop.Is there something wrong with Illustrator’s scripting architecture? Some scripts that worked two or three years ago seem to have stopped working.It’s such a mess—no wonder so few people are working on it.var d=app.activeDocument;var pl = d.pathItems.length;//var isg = [];for (var i = 0; i < d.pathItems.length; i++) { var p = d.pathItems[i]; if (p.hasOwnProperty('guides')) { p.remove(); } //if (p.guides == true) { // //isg.push(p); // p.remove(); //}} 

I have an EPS file of a small book. It is 135 MB.  When I open it in Illustrator or Photoshop, it only opens the cover image, not the whole book. I then tried to convert it in Acrobat Distiller and it won’t convert.  Any ideas?  thank you! 

Hi everyone.I don’t know what’s going wrong.I have to keep testing by using `alert(“00”);`.I tried using `exit();` to stop the program, but it seems like Illustrator doesn’t support `exit();`?

I tried (!layer.isValid) or (layer=false).Neither worked; they both threw errors saying it was invalid.Later, I found the function below and was overjoyed.But then I discovered it couldn’t detect names within nested layers.I’m asking for help from the experts.var d=activeDocument;var ln=”Fix Guides”;//Check if a layer existsalert(!layerExists(d, ln));function layerExists(d, ln) {    var map = buildLayerMap(d);    return map.hasOwnProperty(ln);}function buildLayerMap(d) {    var map = {};    for (var i = 0; i < d.layers.length; i++) {        map[d.layers[i].name] = d.layers[i];    }    return map;}

As shown in the figure below, all black boxes in the second text box need to be changed to the "true color+stroke" style in front of the first text box.Is it possible to only suck on the style once (with strokes and coloring) and apply it multiple times?I need one at a time now, it's so slow.I feel that if you don't jump out of the text box, you won't be able to select new text content again 

I’ve been using Export As → Use Artboard frequently to export SVG, but somehow today when I tried to export, contents outside of the artboard also kept getting included in the exported files. I tried Trim View and exporting JPG, and both showed the correct output. The only issue seemed to be with exporting SVG. In the Export for Screens view, I also unchecked “Include Bleeds”, but faced the same problem.What could’ve caused this? Is it due to some corrupted settings? Or somehow the layer not being cropped is mis-configured? (Though I don’t know why that would only affect SVG export...)

Opened a DXF file in Draftsight to confirm size. When opened in Illustrator 2026, the size is not accurate. When opened in 2024 and 2025, the size is correct. Tested on  different computers and the results are the same. What should be .044 inches in size shows up as .0474, which is not acceptable. Opening in Affinity Designer2 or Corel, the sizes are correct. Working with a part that is only .414 in diameter, any inaccuracy is unacceptable. Original DXF file was created in inches and I have tried all possible options to achieve the correct sizing in version 2026 without any success. Opening and placing produce identical results. Scaling is not an option, as the results produce closer values, they too are not exact due to the percentage factor limitation.Bottom line, newest version or Illustrator is inaccurate and any other program that can handle DXF files works just fine. Fortunately I discovered the error after producing 3 new parts. Never had issues and I failed to verify the size o

HiI’m having issues moving and/or dragging items. Once I open a new file, or any existing file. And try to create an element, text block or draw something, it lets me for a few clicks but eventually it stops letting me move or scale items completely.  I’ve tried multiple things: resetting my illustrator preferences, updating computer drivers, installing an older version of illustrator, restarting my computer, checking my app permissions, it’s also not my mouse or mousepad, it’s just happening on Illustrator. Nothing seems to be working.

I don't know what the enhancements are in 29.6, but there is a bug with rotating and scaling illustrations that have gradients. Radial gradients suddenly scale drastically in a non uniform fashion when moving in rotation or scaling in constrained x or y axis.       <Title renamed by MOD>

I moved all the guides to a new layer.But I noticed that the path shapes were moved along with them.I saw that someone used pathItems.guides, but it seems that's no longer supported?var d=app.activeDocument;var pl = d.pathItems.length;for (i = 0; i < pl; i++) { //d.pathItems[i].locked = false; d.pathItems[i].moveToEnd(mylayer);} 

Hi everyone.I want to unlock all guides and move them to the “myGuids” layer.I’ve been searching for information for ages, but haven’t found much.I used:var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];alert(item.constructor.name);And to my surprise. it output: “PathItem”—which just made me even more frustrated

The last time I exported a DXF DWG file to be used in Solidworks was about a year ago, it worked fine just like it did for the last decade. Something has changed in Illustrator within the last year. Solidworks 2017 can’t recognizes exported DXF DWG. I had to install and use Autodesk DWG TrueView to repair exported files from Illustrator, which works after “repaired”. 

We had talked about this before. I am puzzled by the behaviour of Illustrator.Say I have a 1in line with a 1pt stroke at 90deg. I apply Transform FX in which I change three entries: rotate set to 10 deg, copies set to 30, and reference point set to middle bottom. First, I place the Transform FX below Stroke and Fill for the line. Then I move Transform FX above Stroke and Fill. I notice a position change in the result on the artboard. Why?This is for CS4 but I guess it applies to any edition.PS: Not that I expect Monika to chime in, but I do!  😉 

Estou criando uma faixa de 8 metros de largura, porém o Illustrator me permite criar pranchetas de até 5 metros e pouco.Qual o procedimento para aumentar esse tamanho?

The past couple months, I’ve had issues with a particular Illustrator file on my work laptop. It would often get stuck mid-save, causing me to lose the file. But since it’s on a network drive that’s regularly backed up, I was able to restore from a backup. I’ve tried moving it offline to my desktop and it would still get stuck saving.However, now my Illustrator won’t open at all and just freezes once the main window appears but before the Home screen appears. This problematic file seems to work just fine on my work desktop though. I’m able to open the file and save it just fine. It’s only on my laptop that the file gives me problems. They should both be on the same version of Illustrator as well, but like I said, I’ve had this happening on and off for months now.What should I do to troubleshoot? Would it help to provide the file for possible corruption? The laptop is a Dell DA16250. The desktop is a Dell Precision 3630. It’s a powerhouse and I’ve rarely had issues with it.

I often receive PDFs that need to be translated into other languages. I need to delete the original text.However, the PDFs provided by clients have already been converted to curves, and the densely packed text is all converted to curves, with each character as a separate object.There’s just too much of it, the layers are a mess, and there are different backgrounds as well.I’ve tried using the “Select Similar” tool, but it always selects completely unrelated text, so I’ve had no choice but to delete them one by one. I’ve noticed a pattern: some characters are positioned on top of a specific object’s background.Is it possible to use the background below as a selection boundary to select the text above it?Is there a script or any clever workaround for this?Thank you very much.I’ve provided just a small sample; in reality, it’s much more complex than this. 

Ik sla mijn Illustrator bestanden altijd op als pdf met bewerkingsmogelijkheden. Maar sinds de installatie van de nieuwste versie Illustrator kan ik de pdf niet meer openen alsof het een AI bestand is, maar worden ze gekoppeld weergegeven als images. Zo kan ik ze dus niet meer verder bewerken en ben ik al mijn bronbestanden kwijt.De koppelingen openen, opent ze in acrobat, daar heb ik ook niets aan.
