Hi everyone, I'm experiencing frequent random crashes with Illustrator version 29.6.1 on Windows 11. The app crashes unpredictably — sometimes while saving, sometimes just moving around the interface. There’s no consistent trigger. Here's what I’ve tried so far: Rolled back to earlier builds of 29.x — still crashedFully uninstalled Creative Cloud and Illustrator (including leftover files in %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%)Disabled GPU Performance and pluginsCrash report shows EXCEPTION_UNKNOWN (0xc0000409) and errors like std::_Xbad_function_call Specs: Windows 11 Enterprise, Intel Core Ultra 5 135U, Intel(R) Graphics, driver version 32.0.101.6078 However, after rolling back to Illustrator 2024 (v28), everything works fine — no crashes at all. It seems like a stability issue specific to 29.6.1.<Title renamed by MOD>

In older versions of AI when I copy and paste art into a file that has a swatch of the same name it would ask me if I wanted to "add or merge swatches".  But now it is just automatically merging them without asking.  I can not find how to turn that dialogue box back on.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Estou com problema no Illustrator que não consigo resolver. Já desinstalei o Illustrator, a Creative Cloud, baixei versões anteriores, e nada resolveu; tentei mudar os arquivos UXP para UXO.old; ele não abre o preferências e também alguns botões como traçado e preenchimento. Não sei mais o que fazer pra resolver esse problema

I've been messing around with the new 3D tools and even though i'm loving it, somehow the shadows keep getting cut just like in the picture below. I already tried changing the "add xx around object" value in Document Raster Effect Settings but id does nothing...

Boa tarde, amigos da comunidade Adobe.não consigo abrir um novo arquivo no Illustrator, quando clico no botão "Novo arquivo" ele abre a janela onde deveriam estar as configurações do novo arquivo mas para mim abre uma janela vazia.

Hi,I am trying to acheive the same angle gradient effect that can be done in Photoshop but in Illustrator. The actual thing I want to be able to create as a vector is the graphic attached...Can this be done by somehow using the blend tool and replacing the spline with a circle?  Can someone walk me through the process?Many thanks in advance.Kit

I need to send files of our logo to a third party. They have very precise size and resolution specs for these files. In Illustrator on my Mac, I export a .jpg of our logo to these specs:1200px x 300px @ 300dpi To make sure the size is correct, I open it in Photoshop on Mac and yes, the specs stay the same. When the 3rd party receives the file and checks the specs in "Properties" for the file in Windows (right click icon, select "Properties", select "Details") the specs now read: 1200px x 300px @96dpi They reject the file and tell me the dpi is incorrect. They tell me whatever software they are using will not accept the file because it is out of spec. If I open that file in Photoshop on Windows, it is, of course, 300dpi and correct, but the properties when right clicking the file icon still shows 96dpi. But if I resave that file from Photshop on Windows and then recheck the dpi in Properties (right click icon, select "Properties", select

Can a simple Margin tool be implemented in illustrator, similar to the one that's always existed in InDesign?It's hard to believe it's 2025 and still one needs to follow a long list of hacks like creating rectangles and converting them to guides to have simple margins.I know some will reply "that's not what illustrator is for" but please - Having to go to InDesign after you finish your vector work is an absolute hassle. Sometimes you just want to create a flyer in illustrator because the interface is less clunky and more flexible, as well as you can edit everything and have tons more freedom with typography.Please cut it out with clunky AI nonsense and simply give us Margins!Thank you.

Hi all,I'm not familiar with Illustrator (as I mostly use InDesign and sometimes Photoshop), so I'd be grateful for any help you can offer.I need to create a vector graphic of straight lines radiating out from a single point — 32 lines, evenly spaced at 11.25 degrees.I'm working with Illustrator CS5.  Can anyone suggest an easy, straightforward way to do this, please?I've searched the manual, knowledgebase and community help.  "Radiant" only seems to return references to "gradient".  As always, the art of a search is in knowing what terms to use, but I can't think how else to describe what I'm trying to achieve.Thanks for your help, folks.

I would like this popup have always Leave Strokes setting and not give me popup. It is really annoyin when trying to draw with graphic tablet and some object is selected during brush size change via shortcut. Maybe someone knows some hack in Adobe settings file. 

BonjourComment remplacer une couleur par une autre sur une image vectorisée sur Illustrator ? 

After most recent updates, I noticed that iilustrator has slowed down drasitically in terms of performance. Most noticable in the time it takes to save the file.I had 4  A6 artboards set, each with their own design. It took ilustrattor around 4 seconds to save the file when pressing cmd+s . OS: macOS Sequoia 15.5Illustrator: 29.6.1

I have used Illustrator's native charts tool in the past and found it dissappointing. I'm curious if anyone has found a plug-in that they like for data visualization.

Looking for help with a reoccurring problem in illustrator. It keeps hiding my tools! I will be working in illustrator, switch to photoshop, come back to illustrator and all my tool panels will have vanished. Going to view and choosing (for example) show layers or show stroke does nothing. None of the tools will reappear. If I “reset essentials classic” the tool panels do reappear but NONE of the tools will function. I can click on them to no avail. Nothing works. My only solution is to restart the computer. About 1/2 the time the tools will reappear and illustrator will function again for a short while before hiding the tools again. illustrator CC 23.0.2mac 10.13.6

Hey everyone!This could 100 percent be user error, but why does my sticker on the right not look like the sticker on left.The mesh only appears when I grab the shape and move it around. As soon as I let the mouse go, the meshes are gone again! (Illustrator version: 29.6.1)

Okay, not sure if I am posting to the wrong place for this but I created something in illustrator and I can't remember what I did to get there. I know it had something under the objects path, but I have tried everything to recreate it. The image to the left is what I am working from, what I want to get to is the image on the right. Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

I have a barcode that is approximately 2" in width. It is a raster image. Illustrator says it is 105 PPI. You can clearly see that the numbers are already pixelated even at this size. The bars look perfect and crisp. No matter how large I make the bar code, the bars never pixelate. The numbers do, but the bars don't. Has anyone ever encountered this?
