I create my designs in Canva and download them as a SVG and import into Illustrator if I need to size up for printing purposes. I normally place the SVG file into Illustrator, and it is the exact size. Now when I place the SVG into Canva, there is extra space around the design and the design is not the correct dimensions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.① Establish a clipping mask group, ☑️ Knockout;② Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have knockout effect.But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal. This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same time, it would be very convenient to achieve this kind of overlapping effect on a Windows computer, but I'm Mac😭 Can this problem be solved by modifying the settings?

...how do I turn it off?Thanks!

Hello, there will be a script that restores the rotations to zero degrees "0°" of each selected object. I ask Chatgpt but unfortunately he doesn't get it. I have several objects selected with different rotation angles and doing it manually is very laborious.

I recently updated my OS from Catalina to Big Sur and I'm on Illustrator 2022. I can no longer create picture clippings from Illustrator. I used to be able to drag an object (or collection of selected objects) from my Illustrator artboard to the desktop and create a Picture Clipping file. I create these for consistency across many files or to update old artwork. I just drag a picture clipping from my desktop into an open Illustrator artboard and the objects would appear with all of the layering and swatches intact. Now I cannot drag anything from Illustrator to the desktop at all. It gives a werid noise. I can still use the old picture clippings that I've created, but I cannot create new ones. Has anyone else discovered this? I know there arent a lot of folks who use picture clippings, but they have been part of my workflow for decades. I tried using the CC Libraries as a substitute for our studio to use in a similar manner, but it was so slow compared to picture clippings. I

Has anyone experienced this before ... every now and then illustrator makes his library a lot smaller ...Is there an option to keep the library open when al documents are closed ? Thanks in advance for the feedback and with kind regards 

When the shortcut D is pressed, the default fill and stroke are set. With similar behavior, I want to make only stroke exactly the same as the default graphic style, without changing the current fill. This is probably not a feature in Illustrator, right?   Not only making the main properties similar, such as stroke width, but also making the appearance exactly the same. Of course I know that script can't handle the appearance, but I'm trying to find a path to achieve this in some way, such as dynamic actions or applying graphic styles. If it can be done with normal Illustrator functionality, that's fine.   Any ideas?

Hi there! I've been trying to use gradients to make pattern brushes and in order to have accurate colour shading on curved objects.However, without rasterizing, then image tracing a gradient, you simply cannot use an object as any type of brush as long as it has a gradient.Does anybody in this community of adobe gurus know how to magic this bummer away?Many thanks!

Hi,I'm looking for a way to set a keyboard shortcut to hit the little play button in the actions panel. I know I can use the function keys to play different actions, and I also know I can use scripts to bypass some of the steps, but neither of these actually resume the current action which is what I'm looking for.  There are also ways to achieve this outside of illustrator, but I'd rather not involve those on my work computer. Thanks in advance!

I have a jsx script that retrieves the font color of every TextFrame object in the active document and does a couple of math ratio checks.The script runs fine when i run it on an active doc, i have tried running it 5-10 times without any issues repeatedly. It also works when I open a new doc with the old doc still open in a tab, and again it works repeatedly.However  the minute I close an active document, and try to rerun the script on another doc (new or open in a tab), I am running into this error "Illustrator error occurred 1346458189('MRAP')" .the error is always thrown at this specific line  pageItem.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor  i have tried the suggested solutions of $.gc() and reducing variables used in loops to no avail. I think this is more a Illustrator bug as it happens in a very specific scenario of closing an active document and is not specific to any doc.The rest of the code runs fine always.Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!Al

I am working on an annual report in A4 size, and when I transfer the design of the single page to another file in A3 size to put every two pages next to each other, I find that the texts in the design have moved from their places randomly.[ If I apply the create outline command to the texts, the problem does not occur, but I do not want that because I need to edit them in that file later. ] Is there a solution to the problem, please, because it is very urgent?

Hi! The colours in illustrator are completely muted. When I am seeing the same work on different screen the colours are very vibrant. It's messing up with what i am seeing and delivering. What to do? Please help.

I'm sure I've accidentally hit some shortcut or something. Just recently the "add new layer" is adding layers beneath the selected layer instead of on top. So instead of having the numbers go from the bottom up, 1 2 3 4 5, etc..., they go top down 12345 etc...Why? New layers have always been on top of the selected layer, or at the top of the layers panel, but now they're being added downward, beneath one another, if that makes sense?

How can you open the file, currently it's like opening a pdf file. 

When I put my mouse cursor on the adjustment dot located in the shapes' corners, my cursor correctly turn into the style of adjusting rounded corners, but when I hold and drag my mouse, the shapes just won't turn into rounded corner ones but will only rotate as I move my mouse. However, such things only happen only when I'm using the "Selecting Tool (shortcut V)", not when I'm using the "Direct Selecting Tool (shortcut A)".
