Is there a shortcut where I can be in a Pen Tool flow, then hold a shortcut to continue the line in a freehand style, and release the shortcut to continue in node method? I know how to do it by drawing with the Pen, stopping to switch to the Pencil, then stopping, switching back to Pen, then selecting and joining the paths, but want a more seemless flow.  

Mac M1 Sonoma 14.3 Ilustrator 29.3.1 Please fix the dropdown menus. They stop responding after a little while. It's very time-consuming having to quit Illustrator, maybe delete the preferences, re-boot, and get back to work. One tends to lose one's train of thought. Thank you!

I use grids and rulers a lot! One of my biggest bugaboos occurss when I have multiple artboards. When you click on the second, third or fourth...artboard (any artboard other than the first one), while the ruler is lined up with the artboard, the grid is not (the corner (e.g., the top left corner) is not lined up with the corner of the grid box at location (0,0) on the ruler. Is there a setting where the default can be that any and all artboards automatically line up not only at the 0,0 point on the ruler BUT that also lines up with the corner of the grid box (and taking that one stop further, I usually have it set in inches where 1" = 8 little squares/boxes. So can I set a default such that the artboard aligns at 0,0 on the ruler as well as the corner of the upper left corner of the 1" box? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough. Thank you so much!

How to find (delete) all objects, any point of which does not intersect with the artboard? In my example, this is all objects except for the light blue ones. In other words, you need to determine which objects are completely off the artboard.  

Hello everyone, I designed a black and white logo using black surfaces and white lines on top for simplicity. But now, I would like my white lines to be transparent and 'cut' through my black surfaces. Is this possible? I’m posting pictures of what I have (beige background) and what I would like to have (white background). Thank you !

I have been using the shape builder for years and years very consistently. I noticed immediately after updating to the 29.3 release that it now creates extremely jagged lines from totally smooth lines. Please see attached before and after photos! This is extremely frustrating. Any ideas how to fix?

Hello! I've been having issues using the pen tool in illustrator when I hold down shift to constrain a line to a straight or 45 degree angle. The issue is that the line jitters violently and jumps around when I place it, lagging considerably.I would point fingers at my system, but I own a Surface Book 2 with a gtx 1060, so I'm not sure if processing capability is the culprit. However, I've found that disabling the gpu performance option gets rid of this jitter, but it's a workaround for now. I've also tried updating gpu drivers, but this didn't solve the problem as well. Has anyone else faced this problem before?{Renamed by MOD}

Hey all,I'm setting actions in Illustrator to save multiple file formats of the same file to streamline workflow.Is there any way to add to a filename using/while using the actions?Ex:Saving business card designs I need to save five PDF files:FrontFront w/o crop marksBackBack w/o crop marksand Full art.Is there a way to add the description to/modify the file name within actions?So if the original name is:Client_BCI can run the action and it will auto saveClient_BC_Front.pdfClient_BC_Front_NoCrop.pdfClient_BC_Back.pdfClient_BC_Back_NoCrop.pdfandClient_BC.pdf??Does that make sense?Any and all help is very appreciated.Thanks!

I have an issue with one of my Illustrator files, it will not let me select or edit anything in the file. I have tried the same file on a different computer and same thing. I tried renaming the file, restarting my computer. There are no locked layers. Nothing seems to help at all, I cannot do anything. I also tried updating Illustrator (the problem started before I updated), but it's still doing the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Hola! ¿Alguien podría ayudarme a resolver este problema? Actualicé mi licencia porque anteriormente me aparecía este mensaje y ahora que instalé los programas de nuevo sigo sin poder abrirlos por este mismo mensaje. Cambié mi correo electrónico, desinstalé todo desde mi computadora y ya no sé de qué otra forma puedo hacer para que funcione 😞  Gracias!

Mein Frage lässt sich mit dem gif besser erklären: Ich habe eine Form ohne Füllung und kann sie nicht schwarz einfärben. Jede andere Farbe geht, aber schwarz geht nicht. Ich brauche eine Lösung, um das zu ändern, weil ich solche Flächen oft in schwarz umwandeln muss. Derzeit geht es nur so: Ohne Füllung -> andere Farbe -> schwarz. Weiß jemand, wie ich das abschalten kann?

 Hello,I’m working on an Illustrator JSX script where I want to rename selected layers according to certain rules. However, I am having trouble getting the selected layers. I’ve tried using selection and other methods, but they don’t seem to work as expected. Here’s the code snippet I’ve been using: var doc = app.activeDocument; var selectedLayers = doc.selection; But doc.selection is not returning the selected layers as expected. Can anyone help me with the correct way to get the selected layers in Illustrator for renaming purposes? Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated!Thank you in advance!

Unbelievable how this is still an issue after many versions. I created 120 x 120 rectangles and separated them with a 30 px distance. The result? .0001 px in position and .0002 px added to size at the end. Can't understand what kind of math AI does to mess up a rounded result.  

Hi there.. Is there a way of combining individual text boxes into one text box in Illustrator (25.2)? Have to edit a file from PDF format and some of the text boxes split up after opening. Thanks!

Illustrator seems to have issues with maintaining layer comp visibility in placed objects (multiple versions placed within same file) when the original file is amended. i.e. PSD files with layer comps placed into Illustrator, each referencing a different layer comp. PSD file amended and all instances in Illustrator default to current photoshop state. From there they need reimporting (relinking) and the layer comp to be reselected.Here's the process:- Photoshop file with layer comps used to define a number of possible different states of the file.- Placed instance 1 with Layer Comp A in Illustrator with "Keep overrides" checked.- Placed instance 2 with Layer Comp B in Illustrator with "Keep overrides" checked.All good so far.- Return to Photoshop file and amend something.- The result is that both instances in Illustrator default to the current state of the Photoshop document.There is then no way of viewing the layer comp list from the placed PSD to subsequently change it to the desired

Hi, Im trying to use the Inflate (3D and Materials) effect with this rainbow, however I need it to inflate as 1 object instead of 7 little noodle-looking ones. Anybody know how I can do this? It seems I need to make the rainbow seen as 1 object by Illustrator, however I can't figure out how to do this. I've tried a clipping mask and that didn't work. Any know-how would be super appreciated. (If reference photos don't show, here's a link to view: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MCfwPSDGhLQCuLgP_yBkK17ose0iHxaH?usp=share_link) Thank you,Jason

Not happy with the automatic font activation nastiness, Adobe goes a step forward with its production-damaging features, now inducing you to Save to Creative Cloud by default, by removing the (command+S) shortcut and forcing users to manually click the ‘On your computer’ button. How arrogant is that?Did anyone find a way to deactivate this absurdity?

i was wondering if anyone can help me. all of a sudden a chrome extension that allowed me to open illustrator files from google drive is now gone. I used to use the "open with" illustrator from drive, so i wouldn't have to download files. but i cannot do so anymore, hopefully there is a quick solution!
