Questions

I am running Mac OS 12.2.1 with Illustrator 26.0.3 and all of the sudden the arrow keys stopped working. I have relaunched the application and restarted my laptop and it is not fixing it. Any suggestions?  In Photoshop they work fine so I know it's not the keyboard.   Thanks!

Kann ich ein Objekt innerhalb einer Ebene an eine bestimmte Stelle der Reihenfolge einfügen (nicht nur davor oder dahinter)? Habe einen Plan mit nur einer Ebene aber tausenden von Objekten vorgegeben... 

Hi, I'm still using an old AI version, but I don't think it matters here: I'm involved in recreating a logo (that some unknown designer created, and the original Vector art is lost), based on a (hi-res) JPG... The logo is loosely based on Avant Garde font, BUT STILL NEEDS SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND TWEEKINGS.  Doing those changes causes the lines' THICKNESS not to be totally consistent, which is what one expects a logo to be... So my question is, please see below, just like creating a stroke (1), giving it a certain thickness, and then doing an "outline stroke" to get #2, I'm looking for just THE OPPOSITE, take a path (my traced logo), like #2, AND TURN IT INTO A SINGLE STROKE. Then I will give all the letters the appropriate thickness — and then outline them. That way all the letters in the logo will be at a consistent thickness, as a logo is expected to be. Can this be  done? Thanks for your input!  

I'll start by saying that I'm a beginner. I'm looking for suggestions on best practices for setting up the workflow for designing a logo for use on the web and for traditional printing.In my specific case, I'm facing a problem regarding colors. To decide which color or colors to adopt, I take inspiration from the colors and examples available on the web. So, RGB colors. Questions:1) How do I convert RGB values ​​to CMYK while preserving the color chosen in the RGB profile.2) Illustrator warns when an RGB or CMYK color is outside the Gamut of the set profile. I also get the same warning with the RGB profile and the Web gamut. So, what should I pay attention to and how important are these warnings?

I'm kind of new to Illustrator, so it might be a simple thing, but I'm trying to draw some lines with the brush tool and after I'm finished, the lines move somewhere random and it is very annoying. Already contacted support and they were not able to help. macOS Sequoia 15.2M1 Pro Macbook Pro 16 GB RAMAdobe Illustrator 29.2.1 Here's a video of the issue: https://f.io/G2BhZ2wb

I have a huge collection of fonts that I have been using for years and managing/activating through FontExplorerX.  It seams it is no longer connecting to Illustrator CC2025 (and other current Adobe apps).  Has FontExplorer become obsolete/incompatible?  If so, how can I use my fonts (lots of which are not Adobe Fonts or Google Fonts)?

With writing and symbols created, i choose a background color, however, when sending it to the front, only the writing comes to the front, not the symbol. I have already expanded it and everything else, the error continues, has anyone ever been through this and can help me? grateful 

the screen recording below shows the behaviour of the Selection tool , and is consistent on all objects (text, shape, path, etc). I was working on a vector then wasnt able to scale it, so updated all versions of AI but same behaviour. Is there a setting that was changed? the capslock is off. I was just working in a file a few days ago and was able to see the bounding box and scale as needed.Also, the guides have been behaving differently for months. once i drag it out, i cant select it or move it with the mouse, i have to manually adjust X and Y coordinates. Cant select it to delete it (youll see in the layers panel the little blue 'dot' that indicates a layer is selected doesnt appear. If i highlight the guide layer i can then click the trash icon to delete it). Thought id include in the recording since its been baffling me. Screen Recording of Behaviour 

Hi everyone! I am totally new to illustrator. I'm working on a 3D capsule in Illustrator using the 3D effect. I started with a red color for my object (as seen on the right side of the screenshot), but after applying the 3D effect, the capsule turned white. Does anyone know how I can make the 3D effect keep the red color? Thanks in advance!

Can you tell me how to set my document default to CMYK. I set the document colour mode to CMYK, changed colour settings to CMYK. Yet when I open new "print" document I still get the RGB colour swatches. Should I not get CMYK ?

I have been having this issue for a while on various different versions of illustrator. There seems to be a bug where I am not able to recolour certain objects without having to double click and then double click again and then one more time to open the objects up (even though i did not group these) and only then can I re-colour, I think it usually happens on certain objects when make a copy of them. It's just behaving very strange and it's making it very difficult to get anything done! Help with this would be much appreciated. I have attached a video to help Illustrate the issue.

I am reaching out to report an issue I am experiencing with the "Export As" feature in Adobe Illustrator. Since updating to version 29.0.1 and in all subsequent versions, the program consistently freezes, requiring me to force quit the application whenever I attempt to use this command to export files in PNG or TIF formats. I would like to note that the feature works perfectly in version 29.0, so this appears to be a problem specific to updates released after this version. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue or let me know if there is a planned fix for this in a future update?

 Why it shows "You dont have access to manage app"???

Starting with Illustrator 2025 (29.2), Ai and EPS can be exported with export for screens. How to call it from ExtendScript? I tried ExportForScreensType.SE_AI, ExportForScreensType.SE_ILLUSTRATOR, etc. as when using exportForScreens, but it was undefined. It is fine even though the functionality does not exist because it can be done with saveAs, but if it is provided by a new, fast-moving technology, I would like to use that. Here is the code I tried. try { // sccess // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_SVG) ; // --> 'ExportForScreensType.SE_SVG' // error (undefined) alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_AI) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_Ai) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_ai) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_aI) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_ILLUSTRATOR) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_Illustrator) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.ILLUSTRATOR) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.Illustrator) ; // alert(ExportForScreensType.SE_EPS) ; // alert(E

Hello, I am experiencing an annoying issue with Illustrator. It concerns the Text tool. What happens is that when I change a font in a text box and then start typing again, it reverts to the previous font. I’m attaching a video to explain it better. Does this happen to you as well?

Dear All, I recently switched from Mac Intel to Apple Silicon. I'm trying to launch Illustrator automatically from Visual Studio Code Universal (so Rosetta). However, I keep getting a popup asking me to specify which Adobe app to connect to. I'm sure I had it working on Intel without having to click a popup menu. My script runs fine otherwise, but I would like it to run without the popup. Can anyone help? My Illustrator version is 29.1. launch.json: { "type": "extendscript-debug", "request": "attach", "name": "Run in Transient Engine", "hostAppSpecifier": "illustrator-29.064", "engineName": "transient", "hiddenTypes": ["builtin"] }keybindings.json:[ { "key": "cmd+r", "command": "extension.extendscript-debug.evalInAttachedHost", "args": { "debugLevel": 1, "bringToFront": false, "hostAppSpecifier": "illustrator-29.064" } }, { "key": "cmd+shift+r", "command": "extension.extendscript-debug.evalInAttachedHost",
