Questions

I can barely work on my document with 3d text.I was so excited to discover the 3d text, but every second other illustrator is not responding.

The text is half hidden when I start Adobe Illustrator with UI Scalling enable. See screenshot.

Running Illustrator 29 on M1 Macbookpro (64gbram, OS15.0.1) Illustrator crashes sometimes when my mac sleeps and doesn't autosave or recover most documents. Having to remember to save every 5 mintes and close everything properly feels like adobe a decade ago. For now I've gone back to 28, which is always a shame.

A little frustrated with the update to v29.0 (on the mac): all my preferences didn't update.What's killing me is my workspaces. I can find the old ones and put them into the new workspaces folder, and they show up in the workspaces dropdown, but they don't do anything. I can select them, but it just stays with the previous workspace.I can see that the format has changed in the actual workspace file, new ones preview as a "Unix Executable File" and the old ones were simple text documents.Am I just out of luck?I'm surprised that Adobe got this one wrong, unlike them on updates and I'm surprised I'm not seeing this channel full of others like me. Did it just fail for me then (or am I bad at searching)?Thanks!N.

Every...single...time....I open the library in illustrator I get a 3 part pop up window "tour" of the library. There is no "don't show this again" or way to turn it off but it literally happens EVERY TIME! I need my library multiple times per day, and heaven forbid I close illustrator, I have to clear out 3 windows AGAIN. I would do whatever it takes to make this stop...I found old forums from 2021 discussing this very issue, here we are 3 years later paying nearly double what it used to cost experiencing the same frustrating user interface bs errors...please help this stop im going crazy over here

HI everyone,Is there any way, any plugin/add-on/extension that would allow viewing percentages of ink in Illustrator just like in InDesign?

Hello,before the last update, when I wanted to extend a line in its continuity in any direction, a guide would appear, allowing me to know that I was maintaining the base direction of the line I wanted to extend. Since the update, this guide doesn't appear anymore. I haven't found any online help for this issue. Could a hero help me out? Thanks!

On Illustrator 2025 (29.0), I have selected Show Indic Options, Arabic text, and Middle Eastern Line Single-Line Composer. However, while the text displays normally, sentences don't start where they should, and the punctuation (full stops/commas) always end up on the right of the text (incorrectly). I am unable to fix this, and installing Illustrator 2024 did not help either.

Hello, i need to make 3d design on illustraitor, but when i try to use the effect i get an error message that there is not enough memory. it's odd because the size of the file is only A4. what should i do? Thanks, Dorit

Hace un par de semanas estoy teniendo problemas con las fuentes. Por ejemplo las descargo, se instalan y las utilizo en Adobe Illustrator. El problema es que cuando lo abro nuevamente al otro dia ya no funcionan, se encuentran desinstaladas. Ademas aparecen con un asterico al lado del nombre. Seria fantastico que puedan solucionar ese inconveniente. Muchas gracias

Hi there, I would like to create guides every 160mm. Is there a way to do this automatically without typing in the x value for each one? I tried creating a grid of that size, but I want the guides to start at the 0,0 point on ruler, not at the corner of the artboard so that didn't work. Thanks!

Hello team, I have customized the keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator, and each time I launch the program, I need to switch from the default shortcuts to my personalized ones. Is there a way to automatically load my custom shortcuts every time I start Illustrator? Having to manually adjust the shortcuts every time interrupts my workflow and creativity

Здравствуйте!Случайно был удален файл ai, но с помощью утилиты восстановления файл удалось вернуть, далее при попытке открыть в иллюстраторе выходит сообщение, «Файл имя.ai в неизвестном формате и не может быть открыт.»Попытка с помощью программы Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator исправить файл не дало результата.Уважаемые есть ли возможность как-то исправить файл?

Please help me stop this pop up for missing or modified elements in the links panel!  There are none.  It's infuriating... 🙅‍♂       {Renamed by MOD}

I'm trying to export my project as a PNG with a transparent background, but the menu that changes export settings doesn't even pop up for me. Is it hidden in a menu somewhere, or is this a really weird glitch?

When creating a new file, I typically prefer to set up my own preset details rather than using premade templates.  There's a (to me) significant hole in the ui. When you set up your new document you choose dimensions, number of artboards, bleed, color mode, pixel density etc.     Having ignored the left side of the interface entirely, as I always start out by doing, at this point I still haven't noticed that the default starting document was set up for print, and this time I'm using RGB colors.     Now my only path forward (if I want to get rid of the yellow triangle/ exclamation point symbol next to my color mode.) is to choose a new starting template and then change everything about it except the color mode.    It would be much simpler to have the choice of a profile at the top of the right side of the ui (preset details).  I don't exactly know why it throws an error if you change everything about a document p

So a coworker's and my illustrator updated a couple days ago to 28.5 and we just noticed that we can no longer change the colors of .bmp files we've saved from photoshop and dragged in.Did everything like normal:1. Convert greyscale image in photoshop to bitmap2. Save out as a .bmp3. Drag / place into illustrator4. Click on the bitmap image and simply change the color Now it appears that it treats the bitmap file as a jpg instead, or something to that affect rather than the typical transparent bitmap like before. It get's placed into illustrator with its white background intact. Only workaround I've found is that you can save the file out as a .tiff instead of .bmp and Illustrator will treat it like a normal bitmap, but its weird that the previous method we've always used no longer works. My coworker went back to the previous version, 28.3, and everything went back to working like normal. Anyone else having this issue?

I am not getting any save dialogue box while saving new files in Illustrator 

I'm surprised at the number of glitches that occur when running ExtendScript. Here's another one:   ... app.executeMenuCommand('deselectall'); alert(doc.selection.length); // not 0 while (doc.selection.length !== 0) { app.executeMenuCommand('deselectall'); } // at this point the app freezes alert(doc.selection.length); // not reached ... Opinions, advice?

I have a problem with Adobe Illustrator. The anchor points are no longer displayed in the working file, and the Ctrl+H keyboard shortcut does not help. I have already tried checking the visibility of the edges, resetting the workspace, disabling the GPU viewer and creating a new document, but the problem persists.I would appreciate your help in solving this problem.

I used to use the 'Map Art' feature within the 3D effects in Illustrator, but I can't see this in the latest Illustrator (26)

I've been trying to create a textured pattern brush in Illustrator to apply to an illustration of a stone gateway (see below). But on the shorter lines the pattern is compressed, and I want it to stay the same no matter what length of line. I can't find a way of solving this though.Also, the corners are overlapping. If I apply rounded cap/corners to the lines that doesn't make a difference.Anyone have any clues how to solve these two problems? 

The fidelity level is not working like the last versions. All the levels of fidelity are too smooth, and the accuracy is not precise.

Hi everyone!Suddenly my artboard labels disappeard as you can see in this image.A few days ago all works well and I didn't updated my Ai.I don't know what to do and how to fix it.I'm using Illustrator 26.0.3 with MacOs Monterey version 12.0.1My hardware is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) If anybody know what to do, could be really helpfull.Thanks!

I have a rectangle with a green fill and a crimson stroke, to which I have applied some effects and added a blue stroke.  With this script I am trying to do an Expand Appearance and then Expand - to get rid of all Appearence and convert all the stroke to fills. I want to end up with an object consisting of only fills. However, the 'expand' command doesn't seem to work as I end up with an object consisting of only stroked paths.   function expandAppearanceAndStroke(item) { try { item.selected = true; app.executeMenuCommand('expandStyle'); app.executeMenuCommand('expand'); } catch (e) { // nothing to do } } Perhaps this is done in some other way?
