Questions

Hello Team,  I am working in Illustrator and I go to Window<Asset Export to open the Asset Export Tab. Next, I select my 3D object and drag it over to the Asset Export window. The problem i am having is the image does not appear in the Asset Export window.  I want to export this asset for use in Dimension.

 Buenas tardes, ya estoy cansada de pedir ayuda a los agentes para que me boludeen. Aqui estoy, cuando abro illustrator normal o Beta, me aparece asi, cuando cierro el cartel blanco, se me cierra todo. ¿Alguna solución?. Gracias !

Hello Team, I would like to ask if their are any other efficient options aside from 'Image Trace' to remove the blue 'x' that shows up and covers the image once I 'Place' the file onto a new document? 

I'm having an issue where the object selection box doesn't match the actual object's edges. This misalignment causes problems when trying to snap objects to the artboard, and my JPG exports have a white, unfilled border.The object offset is even more severe when using GPU Preview compared to CPU Preview.

I spend hours searching for these blue babies.Is there a solution?

I am very often using a CutContour spot color in my jobs, so I tried to save the CutContour color as a spot in my Library so that I could conveniently add it to subsequent new files. However, after saving it in the Library, it changes to the base color when used in the file. Is there any way to conveniently use such a spot color or do I always have to do it again?

I'm using an Action in a Batch operation. The procedure opens each AI file in an Input folder, one at a time, and writes a specific size JPG into an Output folder.  Since the AI files aren't being changed, I don't need or want to save them. (I'd prefer not to, in order to preserve their last edit timestamp.) But the Action script can't close a file without saving! So I have to choose NO for every file in the batch. I tried inserting a Revert command before the Save, but Revert also asks for permission. (Yes, the Action is being run without the dialog option enabled.) Is there a way for an Action to close a file without saving or asking permission? Having to grant permission for each file, from a folder that might contain hundreds of files, defeats some of the convenience of a Batched Action. Thanks in advance, Allen 

I have multiple layers in a document with objects aligned betweent the layers.How can I copy these layers into another document and have the layers remain separate and have the objects still aligned?In Photoshop I can can just drag layers. So simple.I know I can copy and paste all items on layers between Illustrator documents, but the alignment does not remain from the original doucment.Is there some magic way to get layers between doucments?

Simply put: The fact it makes erasing anything a mission and a half shows how much of a ripoff this program actually is. The sheer fact that you expect me to pay for a program when a free trial is hair rippingly awful is straight up hubris on Adobe's part. There's no reason I have to search through twenty videos and a hundred tutorials to FIND and GET the erase tool to work properly.   It's pathetic you ask for a monthly rate on any of your programs when your update do everything to RUIN it and make it extremely difficult and impossible for the consumer. Adobe, like many cynical businesses' in the 2000s, love to "mess" with their paying customer base due to the same defiant quality and distain that most companies have for their cilents.   Not asking for anything idiot proof, but I shouldn't have to go through a stress test EVER to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. Needless to say, I have no respect or pride using your products, nor do I have any (at all) respect for you

Hello, TIA for any help I can get with this!I am working on a logo where I am trying to get the bar of the A to extend across the right side and using drop shadow to create depth. Right now, I have the bar as a separate object, and while it looks fine, because I am using a gradient on the letters themselves you can see the line where they're not connected. I would like it to look like the bar is coming out of the left side of the A, but no matter how I adjust the gradient, you can still see they're separate pieces, and I can't seem to figure out which tool to use to get it to look right. Is there a way to join them and have the bar still look like it's going across the right side of the A? Any assistance would be so helpful!

Bonjour, j'ai essayais de travailler sur un logo déjà existant et de superbe qualité pour y ajouter une phrase en dessus. Pronlème lorsque je veux exporter il devient de trs mauvaise qualité.

Setting up master logo set for client... Have built CMYK & RGB versions in illustrator.When importing the RGB .ai file to Photoshop - colour looks drastically more intense, even though it is the exact same RGB breakdown + colour management settings are the same - Adobe very kindly points out that they default to the same colour management across the programs for consistency.I'm completely stumped and not sure what the workaround is (other than visually trying to match in Photoshop but have the wrong actual breakdown - which is surely a recipe for future inconsistency) - would appreciate any help please and thank you.screen grabs attached

hi, how do i change size of a photo to fit artboard. it seems so simple i cant even find and answer its driving me crazy 

Just found out, that the current Illustrator 29.5.1 running on current macOS 15.5 has trouble with special chars in linked files. I had the copyright symbol in filenames for stock photos (e.g. ©AdobeStock_artist_photo.jpg). This led to Illustrator showing this in the Links panel as being updated externally. Updating it inside Illustrator showd it up-to-date for a couple of seconds, then it went into updated externally status again. Illustrator 28.x handles these filenames without complains.

Using Shift + Command + N to open a new file from template fails when there isn't a file already open.

Hi guys, **see image below for what I am trying to achieve"Im looking to have a rounded rectangle follow text which is on a path So essentially I want the text to have a background.Is there a way to achieve this? 

With the last two quick updates to illustrator on the Mac (the second 26.0.0 and the latest, 26.0.1) I'm getting the flash of pink on the screen again upon opening files on a Mac mini M1 (16 GB).

adobe illustrator selection tool not working with tablets.Started about 4 days ago. I have a Huion & Wacom, can't select objects in Ilustrator.Specfically, the lag and screen refresh are so out of sync that when it update 5+ seconds later the thing you selected is in random part of the screen. Back to mouse work!

Please, someone explain why I'm not seeing the same thing as the tutorial. When I long press the line tool, I only get the rectangle, star and line tools; no arc, no swirl, and no rectangle grid. I'm VERY new to digital graphics and trying to be serious about learning. Is there something wrong with my program?

J'ai mis exactement les mêmes réglages de vectorisation d'un fichier identique dans la version 2025 et 2024 d'IIlustrator. Il y a deux différences dans le moteur de vectorisation entre les versions 2024 et 2025, "Simplifier" en version 2024 et "formes" en 2025. La différence majeure est dans le nombre de points d'ancrage, de 10210 en version 2024 à 2531 en version 2025.>> Donc la version 2025 simplifie automatiquement sans que je puisse le gérer, en je ne retrouve pas la qualité que j'avais en version 2024.Si quelqu'un a une idée par rapport à cela, ou une alternative encore sur la méthode de vectorisation?

Seit dem letzten oder vorletzten Update kommt bei jeder zweiten oder dritten EPS diese Fehlermeldung. Die Illustration kann nicht gespeichert werden. Eine Elipse kann nicht erstellt werden.Speichere ich das Dokument vorher aber als AI und dann mit speichern unter als EPS kommt der Fehler nicht mehr. Hoffe der Fehler wird bald behoben!

Hello! The company I represent/own does a ton of template building within Adobe Illustrator. As an example of what we are in need of I'll offer a quick description of what we do and what we ultimatedly want to solve for. We create a design for a sports jersey across a series of panels within a single artboard. Once the file is good for production we have to save down a file for each size needed. Currently this involves us manually scaling the components to fit the panels in each size and then clipping them to a shape. The file has layers with masks for each size within it.  Ideally we want to have a script and/or ation that will do the scaling based on preset parameters and then clip the shapes in the same script/action. Maybe it requires two actions/scripts that work indepently, we don't know the answer to that. That's what brings us here! Please reach out if you think you could handle this (if it's even possible based on what we share) and would like to talk

Is it possible to know this file extension? because in my work loop is missing. Video is uploaded    

Hi there I am just delving into how to work between .AI and saving/exporting to SVG I have run into a strange issue, though. Everything looks great in my .AI file. But then I save as an SVG and all my gradients stop blending correctly.  See images for before and after. (the after is how the file looks if I open the SVG back up in Illustrator, Preview the file, or if I place the graphic into an InDesign document... actually looks even worse placed in InDesign but I won't hurt your eyes). Additional context: I licensed a stock image and modified it. So I do wonder if it's  What am I missing? Anyone run into a similar issue?  Cheers Jennifer
