Questions

Video example  I got a "new" 2019 iMac and installed AI 29.2.1. A lot of the times when I select multiple objects, expand objects, merge objects, etc., it has this really annoying behavior where the entire program freezes, a series of vertices get selected/highlighted, and a line runs across the rulers. This totally slows down my workflow and is extremely obnoxious. I've never experienced it in any previous versions! Is this a setting I can disable? Thank you!

In the moon lecture, I can't seem to trim the circles? I click and nothing happens?https://www.udemy.com/course/vector-vision-adobe-illustrator-super-power/?kw=adobe+illustrator+for+graphic+designers&src=sac

I run the Adobe suite on my Intel iMac Retina 5K 27-inch from 2020 (3,8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB, 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Mac OS X 14.7.4, with 400 GB of free disk space). Especially Illustrator (v.29.3.1, but also most of the other Adobe apps) run super slow when it comes to larger files (InDesign and Acrobat don't even need files to be extra large for their very slow UI). E.g. saving a 2.5 GB large AI file takes five minutes or longer while the CPU load hardly exceeds 12% (according to a system monitoring tool). I just wonder: Is it due to a weaker Intel architecture (compared to Apple's M), inefficient software or did I simply fail to configure Illustrator better for higher performance?Does anyone of you experience similar issues or has any advice on improving Illustrator's performance? Thanks! 🙂

Hello all,I am new to this software and trying to work my way through it.Couple issue that I would like to address.1) 16:23 into the video, he say to highlight the star, press alt and it is supposed to change the number of points on said star.

Where would I find those at? TIAAlan

Cuando busco rellenar un objeto o en general seleccionar un objeto sólo me sale como degradados de mezclas de colores no del modo "normal"

In the last few days when I edit an object or amend some text in a document the object becomes invisible. I can't edit anything as it just becomes invisible after I edit it.  Is this already reported bug? It's just started happening in the last few days. I'm using Illustrator 29.3.1. I just updated it today too to check if the bug was fixed but it's still happening.  Thank you

After updating to 29.3.1 the GUI brightness shifts quickly in illustrator. It ONLY happens in illustrator and it happens to the entire app interface, not just the artboard or pasteboard area. It's not a monitor issue or an OS issue. Has anyone else had this problem? specs:MacBook Pro 16in Model: Mac14,10 - M2 Pro 

Suddenly my Gaussian Blur stopped working. I have tried to copy one I did before for this client and got a white box around it. I also tried creating a new one and got a white box around it. It was working fine before but not today. I have restarted Illustrator as well as my mac. Didn't make a difference. Please see the 1st image which is the way it's supposed to look then the 2nd image which is my result. I am running macOS High Sierra Version 10.12.6 and Illustrator 2020.

Is there a way to get the girds I'm creating on one artboard - to get in the same place on all artboards?

Hey everyone!My Illustrator project just crashed, and it opened a recovered file, but all the images are gone. Just so you know, I had already rasterized the images, so I thought they’d be safe, but they’re still missing. How is this considered "recovered"? I also lost all the recent icons I worked on and recolored. Now, I have to start over, bringing in all the pictures again, re-clipping, and rasterizing everything.PLEASE HELP!

Hi everyone, I'm working on a pattern in Illustrator that needs to be transferred to InDesign for a book cover. Normally, I can copy and paste vector elements from Illustrator to InDesign without any issues. However, this time, when I try to paste my pattern (which is quite large and detailed), I get the following error message:"This operation creates a large number of page items, which can negatively affect performance. The data will be placed as an embedded EPS file." The problem is that I need the pattern to remain a vector, as it will be used for die-cutting. An embedded EPS is not ideal. Does anyone know how I can resolve this and ensure that my pattern remains a vector in InDesign? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hello, I bought the Adobe CC a few days ago but the AI generation tool doesn't work. I tried yesterday and it didn't work and I tried to use it the whole day today and still not working. Has someone else experienced the same issue that I do ? Thank you !  

Has anyone else encountered this before?   When I double click into isolation mode theres a flash (just within the ai window) and then my GPU is disabled. Pressing escape to come out of isolation mode works but then I'm left with no animated zoom, and am unable to turn GPU mode back on. (menu greyed out) Once I've saved, closed and reopened the document GPU is once again working. I don't have to restart ai, just a doc.   Most frustrating as isolation mode is now a big part of my work flow. Argh! For now I have had to disable it but would very much like to use it again.   Is this just my machine or an illustrator bug?

Hey, as you can see in the picture attached, I have this problem or kind of bug that when I want to create AI images from text to vector graphic image some of the generated images are wonderful but NOT whole - they are missing some parts. Do you know how to fix it? Have you experienced it as well? I've tried to make it more and less detailed and this didn't help in this particular issue. It's quite too frequent for me...and hence, I need to make some of these images 5-15 times to get 3-5 nice images....and it's kind of exhausting.

I am having a variety of interface refresh problems in the latest two release versions of Illustrator. This happens after a minute or so working in any of my Illustrator files. It appears as though screen refreshes become inconsistent. This has been occurring for 3 days now, across repeated restarts and shut downs. The most obvious of symptoms is in working with layers. I can expand a layer using the Layers Panel and see it's contents. Then I can calapse the layer, but the ">" symbol does not reappear, and I cannot re-open the layer. Forcing a screen refresh is a remedy. If I close Illustrator and restart it, or just close the layers panel and re-open it, the ">" reappears, but the problem repeats itself on the next calapse of any layer.There are symptoms in the drawing itself as well, like object handles not showing up until the drawing area of the screen is refreshed forceably. This problem bridges any file I've opened in Illustrator since the problem began. I am

Hi all,I've just updated Illustrator to version 29.0 and encountered an error when exporting images for print. The exported image size increases by about 60%–80% from the original, but this only happens with CMYK color mode.Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution?Thanks!

Bonjour, lorsque je veux ouvrir un fichier depuis illustrator il ne me l'ouvre qu'au deuxième essai. Est ce normal?  quelqu'un a-t-il le même phénomène ?

Hola, Estaba trabajando con Illustrator, con las oppciones de recuperación automática activados cada dos minutos y guardar los documentos en la nube cada 5 minutos y hubo un corte eléctrico inesperado y mi mac se apagó inesperadamente. No estaba trabajando en mi disco duro sino directamente en la nube de iCloud(de apple NO de Adobe, hace unas semanas que trabajo directamente en la nube y sin ningún tipo de problema)  y cuando volví a abrir el illustrator NO me recuperó automáticamente los archivos en los que estaba trabajando que eran varios por cierto. Aunque grabé una versión se perdieron varias horas de trabajo. Los últimos años me he acostumbrado a trabajr seguro con la recuperación automática de datos y esto ha sido un grave golpe en mi trabajo ymi tiempo. ¿Es que no funciona si trabajamos en una nube que no sea la de Adobe? ¿Hay alguna manera de que esto pueda funcionar y pueda seguir trabajando en icloud sin problemas? Gracias por adelantado,Àlex 

Hallo,ich habe die Vorgabe einen Verlauf mit zwei Farben auf einer Form anzuwenden, die eben nicht linear ist und da kommt das schöne Freihandverkaufswerkzeug gerade recht. Nun gesellt sich immer wieder ein dunklerer Ton zu meinen zwei Grautönen und dadurch wirkt der Verlauf sehr unschön und ich bin etwas ratlos woher die dunkel Farbe kommt.  Ich habe mehrere Vrainatne durchgetestet, wie ich Linie setzen kann, Screenshot anbei. Mal mit Grauflächen, mal mit Schwarz und Transparenz. Weiss jemand wie ich das lösen könnte?

Suddenly, when I click on an object in Illustrator, the bounding boxes are yellow. It is impossible to work with. I can't find the answer online. Any ideas?
