Questions

Hello all, Is there any way to rotate my objects and position them vertically relative to the artboard as opposed to the path using the new Objects on a Path tool? I need my objects to be placed on a path exactly the way the tool does, but I need them all individually to be straight up and down to the artboard. I can't seem to find a way to do that all automatically without detaching them once spaced along the path and setting every objects rotation to zero individually under Transform properties. I'd like to be able to do them all at once. Transform Each doesn't do this either.TIA

Hello,  I have been struggling to find the proper settings (mostly thinking about dimensions, resolution and export method) to export the logo found at the end of this post from ai format to png (I have tried JPEG but I'm having trouble finding the right size/quality balance for IG upload so png has been working better). I have tried all sorts of dimensions (from 180 to 1440 pixels by pixels) and resolutions (from 72 to 288 ppi) but it always turns out that it is blurry, in a pretty ugly way, when uploaded as profile picture on Instagram.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

[Windows 10/11, Illustrator 29.1 (64-bit)]Hello everybody!Simple document, two layers building some kind of device panel look. When I change the »Effect / Document Raster Effects Settings« to resolution 1200 dpi, I am no longer able to save the document. Saving progress keeps falling asleep at 65% or so:  Here’s a copy at dropbox, to check it out:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x6eackyqcl4zqncikf2cr/Panel-look-issue.ai?rlkey=me06wc7pavmcc5q2biq4rjswr&st=m7zby35h&dl=0Thanks!

Bonjour,Je rencontre le problème suivant : Alors qu'il est possible d'utiliser comme point d'ancrage l'angle ("intersection") d'un rectangle, une fois ce dernier intégré dans une opération de miroir, l'utilisation de ce même angle comme point d'ancrage devient impossible. (voir vidéo ci-joint)Auriez-vous une solution à m'apporter pour résoudre/coutourner ce problème ?Merci 🙂       

Hello, I have been working on a project in Illustrator now for a while. I am fairly new to Adobe platforms. My project, previously saved as an ai file, now only shows up as an aic file. I'm not entirely sure how aic works, but is there any way I can get this back to an ai file so I can edit it?

iPadでイラストを描くのが好きなのですが、なぜか、イラレなどのアプリを使用したり、iPadを暫く時間を置くと、safariが何度も再起動してしまいます。しかも画像の様にsafariの一部のタブが途中からしか復元できないことがあります。この為、他のアプリを使用する際にsafariと交互に使うしかなくて困っています。どうしても11月11日中にやりたいことなので、safariが頻繁に再起動してしまうのを直したいです。お願いいたします。  

 I can't even adjust the gradient levers.I use com+8 and com+opt+gNeither of these worksThis problem occurs after the 2025 versionI downgraded it back to the 2024 version and I can no longer use gradient levers on multiple objects.

Hi, after updating to Illustrator 2025 the programme keeps crashing when I try to do anything saying. I get the spinning wheel and then I'm told that I'm nearly out of app memory. I've never had this problem before and I seem to have enough RAM. Is this a common problem after updating the software? I have cleared caches and logs and updated to the latest operating system, done a clear my mac, and uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing works. Can anyone help please?

Does anyone have a problem lately in Illustrator with copying files from the program to, for example, notepad? I always used to select text with ctrl + a, then ctrl + c and paste into some notepad, email, etc. And now it does not always work 😕😕 Sometimes I have to try to do so several times. After the program copy works normally Note: Renamed by Mod

Buenos días. Tengo problemas para copiar y pegar textos dentro de Illustrator. Copio el texto pero luego no aparece habilitada la opción de pegar. Me temo que tiene que ver con alguna configuración de mi PC. A alguien le pasó? Muchas gracias 

Hi i'd like to ask why i can't complete my package in the halfway when i usually do it frequently and was okay, is the size of the file effecting the package process too? cause this one is a pretty big file like more than 500MB and had a lot of links to be attacthed. If anyone could help me resolve this I'll feel grateful thanks!!

I had regular issues with "scratch disk full" errors in Adobe Illustrator when opening/previewing larger files. I purchased a LaCie External SSD Pro 4TB and set this as my primary scratch disk in the Adobe Illustrator settings.Now, whenever I open a file, I don't get a scratch disk error, but there are black boxes on all linked images in the file. When I relink an image, it shows the full image temporarily, and by the time I relink the next one, there are black boxes on the one I just did. I have to save this file as a PDF, but when I do, the black boxes are even on the PDF.iMac 24-inch, M1, 2021 8GB | macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 | Adobe Illustrator v 29.0.1Current settings:This is supposed to be a full bleed image- but it turns black: 

Hello all,I have a file that I need to tile into two halves. It uses the same image. When I save it to a pdf the files are huge because the image, although has a clipping mask, it still saves the whole thing. InDesign has an option to crop image data to the frames. I don't see that feature in Illustrator. Does anyone have a solution or workaround that would give me the same results?

Why isn't me text appearing when exporting?

This is hard to explain but Illustrator has been adding in the contents of an old illustrator file when i try to export simple vector svgs. The new svg exports are stored locally. And it happens with every svg export

Hello,I am on a new laptop without my old preferences. I am attempting to unite two shapes via Pathfinder as shown in the attached image. The ONLY way I can unite these two closed shapes is to place one ontop of the other. On my old laptop, I could drag one shape via one anchor to the other shape's anchor and they would unite, but that is not working here. All unite does is group the two objects in the layer panel. Working file not attached because the error on the forum is telling me it can't be attached. I cannot get the yellow paths to unite and I cannot unite the red paths.I have restarted AI.I have set the tolerance in the Pathfinder flyout panel to the smallest allowable number .001The paths are both closedI have copied and pasted the two objects into another document with no success.The paths are NOT compound (though that should make no difference.) I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing? I am on MacOS, ai 29.0.1 Any suggestions? Thank you!

Ya probé:*Pasando todo el texto a contornos*Cambiando preferencias de guardado*Intentando guardar en pdfTodas las opciones que dan en el soporte y nada...¿Alguna idea? 

Hello Everyone! I am having issues with my files. I have created a logo and exported it as a PNG to be used as a logo on another design I am working on.  When I import the PNG, the logo shows a white bounding box with it when its over my designs, but does not show it when its just over the transparency grid.  The PNG is transparent and does not have anything behind it. I have attached a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

when click drag object the cursor is jerky and sometime is delay for click select object and need to wait 1-2 second for drag smooth. How can I fix it. -Mac OS Sonoma 14.5-Illustrator 28.5.0  please recommendThank you

Beta version of Illustrator freezes up when I try to print to Epson 2850 printer. Other version of Illustrator will print if I save as pdf. All other Adobe products work fine.  I have tried reinstalling print drivers, reinstalling printer, turn off/on again, etc. I am using Window 10 computer.

We have a large team that's constantly opening previous projects. The print team is separate from the video team.For the video team, the CMYK profile is sort of irrelevant, but the RGB isn't.Is there a way to have Illustrator tell about only RGB color mismatches when opening the file, and just preserve CMYK? Basically, can I have the result of "Ask when opening" different for CMYK and RGB?

I have just noticed that when I want to make a new file in AI and I select File - New, I dont see the pop-up window with the alternatives. Instead AI just seems frozen until I press Esc or Enter. This makes me suspect that the popup window is lost somewhere in the "limbo space" between my dual screen setup. I am working both at home and at the office with my laptop (Windows 10 Enterprise) and have different screen setups, and that is what I think could be the reason. (I assume I have opened a new document with a different display setup, and the popup window remains at that location.) Is there a way to sort of "recall popup windows" to the main screen somehow? If not, I think it would be a useful feature. I don't know if I will be able to locate the popup window by rearranging my display setup, or if there is another solution?
