I'm trying to export a compound path to SVG and get the message "Could not export content to SVG".  I have created 100+ icons on indivudial artboards. They are all simple shapes with few anchor points and most of them are compound shapes. The idea is to later on convert them to a font to be used in XML, therefore they (not all, but many) need to be compund paths to be read correctly and I need to use artboards to make sure the spacing is correct so they align in the end. When I had made the first 3-4 icons I did a test export and everything went fine. Now I get the message "Could not export content to SVG". - All layers are unlocked (don't know if that could matter).- I have tried Save, Save as Copy and Export. - I check "Use artboards".- I have tried exporting only one artboard. Please help! Thank you 🙂

 illustrator29.4版本中画板BUG，在创建较多画板时，某些画板序列会重复且不可更改。  另外在自动排列画板时，有时会有两个画板重叠的情况。如下图，画板1和画板2完全重叠。 

The properties tab (and layers tab) emptied suddenly and I can't get them back. I've been able close and re-open and fiddle them back before, but not this time.  When I switch to the Essentials Classic workspace, they're there and fully loaded. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?

Hello everyone,I'm having a huge issue with Illustrator, it was working perfectly until the last year, I started to have Ntdll.dll errors (event viewer) , sometimes it shows the "report an issue" dialog and mostly don't.Since that time, I can't have 5 minutes of working without crashes. I have ROG strix G18 laptop, i9 13th , Rtx 4080, 32 Gb ram. I did all instructions given by adobe and nothing happened, the I contacted the customer service to solve it, it took a week of trying (they reached the back end developers) but nothing worked, the only solution was to work on the safe mode. I clean installed windows 11 five times and started a new projects (to avoid any expected corruption in my files) but it's still the same. I changed the main ssd to install windows.I said it's maybe the widows 11 is the problem, so again I clean installed win 10 , unfortunately the same issue, with many new errors in the event viewer. My drivers are all up to date, and I check

Hello.I have been making "paint by number" mosaic tile posters in illustrator. So I transform image to mosaic, collect swatches from the image and then merge them so I get cca 10-15 colors. Then group each color squeres and replace color with appropriate number.The thing that is bugging me is that numbers I apply in the squeres are not always central. I have been using patterns - I create a pattern for each number in the size of my square, then apply each pattern to 1 group of colors.  I can not seem to figure out how to really keep it in the center all the way over the poster (it is cca 5 m long).  Even if it is central in the beginning it slides a bit left towards the end of the graphic. Is there some other, better or more accurate way? Or a pattern treatmant that would allow more accuracy - or just something I dont understand and would help? Thanks for any suggestion or insight if you ever did sth. similar.Tinka

What's up with the Width Tool for strokes?It does not add points even if the stroke is set to basic?Am I missing something?

Hi,This issue really needs addressed, as apparently a similar issue has been happening to people since at least 2023. So apparently, my Huion Kamvas 20 works PERFECTLY FINE with Affinity Design (but I hate that program). It also works fine with an earlier version of Illustrator. WHY IS THAT? Oh yes, Disable Wacom--genious! Then how do I use the tablet??? If I try to use the pen display to move the canvas around with the scroll bar, it glitches out and won't stop scrolling endlessly. Works fine if I use the mouse, but that severely handicaps workflow. If my tablet works fine with other programs and even other versions of Illustrator, that tells me there's an issue with ADOBE's idea of new software. All my drivers are updated for my graphics, display, my Huion--and I updated to the most current version of Illustrator. Can't use "SAFE MODE" to troubleshoot anything because, guess what's not essential, and thus doesn't work in safe mode? That's right. My Huion tablet. I got rid of the

Hi, I'm quite new to Illustrator, but I have experience with Photoshop. I'm struggling here for multiple hours with such a simple task, but it just won't work, so I'm reaching up to you.  I have a group here of Text, 2 Lines and a logo. I used Create Outlines on Text and Trace Image on the Logo. I created gradient, which I want it to be on the surface of everything in the group.I tried to do it through clipping mask, I tried it through Pathfinder. Nothing worked ... When I used clipping mask the gradient disappeared, It was only visible in the layers.   When I tried to use Pathfinder, it had always a problem, that group isn't an single object   

Bonjour, le boulot m'a donné des fichier illustrator qui s'ouvrent en couleurs dans Illsutrator. J'en ai besoin sur photoshop donc je les sauvegarde en PDF avec les options qui s'affichent autamiquement (PJ). Seulement, quand j'ouvre les PDFs sur Photoshop, ils sont noir et blanc en niveau de gris, je ne sais pas pourquoi. Les PDF s'ouvrent bien en couleurs sur Apercu du Mac donc y'a un souci sur comment les formats .AI ont été enregistrés par la personne qui les a crée mais je ne la connais pas.  Je suis coincé car ensuite je dois utiliser ces images comme Objets dynamiques sur Photoshop et du coup, l'option sur photoshop pour changer la couleur de l'objet dynamique 'CALQUE/OBEJTS DYNAMIQUE/MODIFIER LE CONTENU) ne marche pas car le fichier venant d'illustrator ne s'ouvre pas en .PSB sur photoshop comme il devrait. Je ne connais pas grand chose à Illustrator, pourvez vous m'aider à chnager qualequechose dans l'image .AI que j'ai recu pour qu'elles gardent leurs couleurs

Hey Guys, I am an avid illustrator user, i've been using it for more than 10 years pretty much every day. Today I was trying to manipulate a vector image, and when i click on the anchors, there is a light grey line that goes around the object, and does not allow me to manipulate the points. I can still use the control handles on the anchor to manipulate it, but it is like the anchor itself is locked in space. Any object i click on now has the same problem.  Any help would be great.  Thanks,Andrew

It is greyed out. I have tried several times following along with the video, and I once I close the preview tab, trace is not highlighted.What am I doing wrong?Thanks

Hi all,I'm creating some custom sketch designs for a branding project, and all of a sudden I'm having image tracing issues. I've been sketching using Procreate, using the same brush and exporting as PNGs with the same settings to stay consistent.For reference, I've attached two photos:1) My first illustrations that I've made vector using image trace. They came out great!2) New illustrations using Image Trace. All of a sudden they look like absolute garbage. They come out flimsy and totally innacurate.What seems to be the problem!? I cannot get the image trace to look like my previous sketches and it's really frustrating.Any and all help please, thanks!~Mike
