Dear all, I would like to make banner in Illustrator 2019 with size 10 meter * 0.70 meter but when I'm create new file Illustrator allow only size 577.955 cm * 577.955 cm. I'm hoping everyone can help me.     {Renamed by MOD}

I sometimes use Illustrator to create simple vector art from my line drawings, so it comes out as black with a transparent background.It seems the only feature that works is the High FIdelity Photo and Low Fidelity Photo, which I don't want.If you try to use the other presets, it shows a white box and the artwork disapears.  I don't know if this is a bug or if they changed how to use this feautre.

Hello. My menu drop-downs are all compressed, only showing 2/3's of the options. Relying on me to use shortcuts for so many commands. Many though, I don't know and its very frustrating.  Did I collapse them somehow? How do I undo this, or expand drop-downs. Thanks.

Graphic Design student here. I was working on a class assignment on the latest Illustrator version. I was working for about 3 hours. I periodically save my work, probably every 15-20 minutes. I got to a good break point, saved my file, and exited Illustrator. When I reopened the file later, about 90 percent of my progress was GONE. It has reverted to a save point that was only about 15 minutes into my process.  This is extremely frustrating, as this is probably the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened to me. I've gotten lucky so far that it has not been more than a couple hours of work. But I am concerned that this could happen on an even larger scale! Adobe software is supposed to be industry standard, so why do myself and others keep encountering terrible bugs such as this? Its really quite infuriating.  If anyone knows a way to recover my progress, I would greatly appreciate your input. So far, I haven't been able to find any solutions, even though I have found othe

At work when I apply the simulated «color paper-function» and sets the color to light grey, I can still use the white color as (visible) white. In other words, the background is light grey and my white elements are white. They´re visible against the light grey background…When i boot up my other computer at home and log into my Adobe account (the same as work) and start Illustrator, the function works differently. Then all white is replaced with the same color as the simulated background color. Now i can´t see my white elements anymore.I know I can work around by using another layer with fill, but that´s not ideal. I´ve tried new documents and I´ve tried opening documents from work on the home computer.Same thing. Strange.Anyone?

I Usually use my default color swatches that illustrator automatically gave me when I first downloaded it... but now when I open new documents, those don't show up anymore.. No my settings are not on greyscale. I did however catch it on greyscale when I first encountered this problem. The color swatches have been lost ever since then. How do I get my default Illustrator color library that Illustrator first starts you off with back in my color swatches and how do I keep it there??

Hi,I have an .eps vector file with glowing sparks,for some reason, which I have encountered many times before, the glowing vectors always have black background, so you can't really save them as a transparent PNG image.I was wondering if you can tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or how,if it's even possible, can I export it as a transparent image?An example of my vector file:Thanks.

Hi all, Does Illustrator have drag-n-drop text editing like InDesign? Or is it only cut n paste?

Can anyone help me automate the cut contour creation for multiple complex designs in Adobe Illustrator? We’ll be using this process on stickers and garments, so an efficient solution would save a great deal of time. These designs are quite detailed, and I’m considering using a script, but I’m not experienced with scripting in Illustrator. Attached is an example of the design we are making and the cutlines that we want to achieve. Any guidance, a step-by-step walkthrough, or an example script would be highly appreciated. Thank you! 

My Illustrator crashed and gave me a diologue box. I didn't read it which is my fault but i selected open and can't find a recovery file for it anywhere. Please help

Hello! I would like to know if there is any selection mode that allows you to quickly select all the objects in a document that are bitmaps. I do not see this option in the selection menu. I could be useful for some projects. Thank you!!

Hello,I'm trying to create an action using the Image Trace Preset > Sketched ArtBut the Action Panel is not recording what preset to use, it's just blank - see attached screenshot I'm using Illustrator 27.8 

Hi guys. Guys, I have a problem. The Adobe Illustrator always duplicates the object I am editing and it distrubs me a lot. Every time I am moving an object, it always being duplicated automatically and it's very annoying. How to stop it? What should I do? Assistance please.

Im sure this is an easy fix.  I am completly new to Adobe and desigining.  I created a file that has some white colored text.  When I submit it to my print shop to have DTF prints made my white text is not showing up.  Just empty space.  Any help>?

Hi,I've got this one specific Illustrator file, of which my artboards disappear every time I open it.The contents of the artboards are still there, all boards except one just disappear. Even if I make new artboards around the content, they will be gone the next time I open the file.Any way to fix this?  

Hello - Apparently,there is a Javescript "menu comand" to HIDDEN the artboards, but what about to SHOW the artboards? Since also apparently the menu command "app.executeMenuCommand("artboard");" seems to hidden the artboards.  Thank you,   - Dimitri 

Here is a stroke with variable width profile 4. When I expand the stroke, Illustrator produces a whole bunch of unnecessary points. Why isn't Illustrator capable of producing a lesser amount of points? Is it a bug? I would understand the amount of points if the stroke had rough edges, but this is a predefined variable width profile. Are there any settings where I can change this? I can't remember this being an issue before.

I've just switched to Illustrator CC 2019 from CS5 on MAC and I think I've found a weird bug.When I add or duplicate an artboard it always skips number 5, has duplicates of number 7 then continues along normally (at least up to number 20 for this experiment).  Is there a way to fix this?The attached image is from a new document that I created and just added 20 total artboards.  I typically only work with 5 to 6 artboards, so the skipping of number 5 and duplicate of number 7 is very annoying.  I've tried quitting/restarting, rebooting the system, multiple new documents, multiple existing documents created with CS5.  All have the same result.Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Help converting JavaScript code to ECMAScript 3 to solve the angle 𝑎⋅𝑏|𝑎||𝑏|=cos𝜃 where  X0 Y0 . X0 Y20 // What is the angle? // 𝑎⋅𝑏|𝑎||𝑏|=cos𝜃, X0 Y0 . X0 Y20 function cosineTheta(a, b) { let dotProduct = 0; let aMagnitude = 0; let bMagnitude = 0; // Calculate dot product for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { dotProduct += a[i] * b[i]; } // Calculate magnitudes for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { aMagnitude += a[i] * a[i]; bMagnitude += b[i] * b[i]; } aMagnitude = Math.sqrt(aMagnitude); bMagnitude = Math.sqrt(bMagnitude); // Calculate cosine return dotProduct / (aMagnitude * bMagnitude); } // Example usage needs to solve for X0 Y0 . X0 Y20 in 2D plane // where the resulting angle between the vectors a and b is 90° const vectorA = [1, 2, 3]; const vectorB = [4, 5, 6]; const cosTheta = cosineTheta(vectorA, vectorB); console.log(cosTheta); 

Hallo Experten, ich versuche verzweifelt ein 3d Tortendiagramm zu erstellen, wo die einzelnen Abschnitte unterschiedliche Höhen haben. Eine Höhe für alle Segmente kein Problem Wenn man ein einzelnes Segment aktiviert und auf Tiefe der extrusion geht, tut sich nichts.Wie kann ich das Problem lösen?Dringend, geht um Vergabeaufgabe. Soll so ähnlich ausshen wie auf dem beigefügten Bild. DankePetra

hello!I have a question as in the subject, is it possible to create a script that will be able to distinguish two objects, or groups of objects, if one is turned 180 degrees relative to the other?In the case of objects different from each other there is no problem, it checks its dimension and when they are different the script knows that they are different objects, but I have a problem in the case when the objects are the same size, but are turned 180 degrees, their size is the same.Does anyone know how to do this? I even tried to ask openAI, it seemed to write something but in none of the cases was the script able to distinguish thismatrix does not worksorry for my English, it is basicplease help

I've always found it odd that you can't simply update your current custom workspace, surely this would be a simple feature to implement by adding a new item at the bottom of the workspace dropdown menu? 

So while working on Ai it closes  Randomly i did not find any specific tools which can cause it. i also cannot get the log files.my config just in case: Intel core i5-1235U16 GB ( Dual Channel )  Ram 2777 Bus Speedintel Iries  XE GPU there is no eGPU or Dedcaited, as far as i remeber i did worked on intels iGPU without any issues. please help me fix this because this is causeing time gaps and work losts.  Thanks  Regards, Ornob
