Questions

I've looked everywhere for an answer to this, but I'm trying to map art onto a tapered coffee thermos. Every answer I've seen uses a straight object without curves, which, smart. That would save me a lot of hastle, but this is the bed I've made and I need to figure out how to map something to it.The line at the bottom and the top of the image should follow the curve of the thermos. Instead the image is curved like it's a square sticker being applied to a round shape (which it is, I get that).Is there a way to pre warp an image to correctly map top a 3D surface?

I tried to render my 3D object into vector and some how there are white spots appear all over the place.I used the newest video card dirver and the newest version of illustrator.I tried to turn on and off the ray tracing and noise reducing, nothing changes.Nvidia RTX 4070 super with Studio drive 572.16. illustrator 29.3  

Good morning, I have a problem exporting my file to CMYK PDF, which is intended for printing.The colors in Illustrator are very vivid and when exported they are bland. Have you ever had the same problem ? Do you have a solution ? THANKS !

Hi. I'm working on an Illustrator file in CS5. Suddenly when using the Direct Selection Tool - anchor points and handles are not visible regardless if selected or not. They're just not appearing. They DO exist though. When I click-drag to select an area where I know there is an anchor point and then I use the arrow keys to move the anchor point - I see the path change. But I don't see the anchor point that I am moving. This is all occuring only on a particular file. When I open a new .as file and try to duplicate the problem - all works fine. Any ideas why this is suddenly happening? I assume I accidently hit some thing to change a setting but I can't figure out what. I've checked Selection & Anchor Display in the Preferences, but can't find anything different there when comparing it to a file where everything is working normally.   Thanks

I am a complete newbie. I just got Illustrator with the intention of creating a vector image. I am desperate to use an image I already have, or its likeness, and bought a conversion app to turn it to svg. I presented it to our graphics team and they said when one utilizes a conversion, it can have print issues and that the only acceptable way was if i created the image using shapes. I am completely lost, but hopeful. Could someone please help?

Why isnt it filling it with colour last time it did fill!?whats the scene here?

Hi!Could you please advise me if anyone has encountered this problem..... absolutely everything in the Properties window is missing. I have reinstalled Illustrator and torn down all the settings along with it, and reloaded via Alt+Shift+Ctrl, and removed, added a panel to the screen, and changed the type of workpace, nothing helped....

My plugin needs to create a temporary path by creating an Action for Adobe's Offset Path. That creates an extra "Offset Path" item in the Undo History that I don't want, and sAIUndo->SetSilent(true) doesn't work in this case. Is there a way to test if the last Undo entry was "Offset Path" and delete it if so?

Greetings, I tried multiple times and I could not save a file when I had a EPS linked. The result was a damaged Illustrator file. It did not matter if I was opening a existing 29.2 file or starting a new file, the result was a coreupted file.I tried using other EPS links to make sure the linked file was not the cause, each attempt failed. I had to revert back to 29.2.1 to continue working. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thank you.

Love the feature that you finally can rotate the view in Illustrator. However – after rotating the view, for example 90 degrees, the arrow keys are not adjusted to fit this particular view. When I hit the up arrow key, things move to the right instead and so on. Same with ruler guides, try to make a horizontal guide and it makes a vertical one. The arrow keys thing is the worst though. Am I the only one thinking this is hopeless? When rotating the view in Indesign this is not a problem.

I was working on an important project in Adobe Illustrator, and suddenly the software stopped responding. Unfortunately, I had not saved my work before this happened. 😞Can anyone guide me on: How to recover an unsaved Illustrator file?

good morning,I need clarification regarding the resolution of images in a file saved as PDF/X-4:2010I noticed that the resolution of an image present inside the illustrator document is heavily reduced when I choose downsampling, this happens despite the image resolution not reaching the downsampling value. these are the setting:FILENAMESOURCE IMG PIXEL SIZESOURCE IMG DIMENSIONSPDF SETTINGACROBAT INSPECTOR SIZEACROBAT INSPECTOR RESOLUTIONtest risoluzione - 01.pdf24217 x 118116151,12 x 2999,99 @100ppiPDF/X-4:2010 - DOWNSAMPLING 300ppi if image res > 450ppi7266 x 3544 pixel (61511x30000 mm)118 pixel/mmtest risoluzione - 02.pdf24218 x 118116151,12 x 2999,99 @100ppiPDF/X-4:2010 - NO DOWNSAMPLING24217x11811 pixel (61511x30000 mm)393 pixel/mm in both cases the starting image is the same these are the questions:- why does downsampling occur even though the image resolution is less than 300ppi?- why is the image resolution changed even though the image is not modified in any w

A quase um mês a ferramenta mover não vem realizando o trabalho de mover, ela se comporta como a ferramenta seleção direta, a unica solução duas semanas atras foi desinstalar e instalar novamente o ilustrator, porem essa semana novamente axonteceu, realizei a desinstalação, funcionou mas ontem voltou o problema, já nao sei oque fazer, alguem ?

after esporting images in 300ppi JPG and working with it in the 3rd app for email campaign images turn out very blurry. On teh other hand same preferrences and images last year were sharp clear. Have no idea what has happened and what might cause such an issue. 

I'm looking and looking for a solution to have variable printing ignore a blank cell in my file.  I've tried adding a space into the cell, as well as every combination of " ", ' ', " [space] –– no luck.  I am now reading that you shouldn't have blank cells but is there truly no workaround? To create the csv I'm working in Google Sheets if that matters – I've also edited the file using text editor so I don't believe it should.

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble saving my artboards as separate ai files. I watched a tutorial on it but when I tried it myself, my Save As window grays out the "Use Artboards" checkbox. It only ungrays for eps or svg files. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi,I have a set of swatches that I use in my illustrations in Illustrator. Now I'm experiencing an issue where all swatches seem to be applied with a degree of transparency. All palettes look correct, showing 100%. No layer mode is activated. What could have happened here? I have also tried toggling "Knockout Group" on and off.I hope someone has a good suggestion for this! 

I'm saving all my graphics in PNG and it's transparent but when Uploaded on the web it shows a white or greyish background of the artboard, I can't figure out why.
