I am trying to write a Javascript that can do the following:  1) Select an object whose note has <Object Name> (so its layers is also selected)2) Duplicate the layer of that object3) Rename the new layer to <Layer Name>4) Apply a swatch to the object on the new layer (the object is only single colour)5) Apply a new note to the object (over-writing the original note).  I also want to write a separate script that can do the following:1) Select an Object whose note has <Object Name> (so its layer is selected as well)2) Hide all other layers3) Save a copy of the document with a specific name  I can do this as an Illustrator action. However, I need several different copies of the scripts where the Object Name, Layer Name, Swatch and File Name changes.Re-recording the action to change the names is cumbersome. I have looked at the Illustrator scripting reference, but cannot see any commands for select objects by their notes. I was wondering if someone could gi

Hi community. Can Illustrator 3D do this style of design with letters? Or is this more of a design feature that needs more skill methods to achieve?  Thank you.   

Bonjour,J'ai réalisé un mock-up sur photoshop avec une image d'environ 5000 x 5000px que j'ai importé sur illustrator afin de réaliser un packaging (boite 130 mm x 140 mm x 45 mm). Aussi, ma question est la suivante : est-ce que mon visuel risque d'être pixellisé ? En effet, lorsque je zoome sur mon image celle-ci est quasi nette mais lorsque je dézomme celle-ci est très pixelisée... donc faut-il que je me fie aux pixels que je voie lorsque je zoome ou aux pixels lorsque je dézoome ? Car le rendu ne sera donc pas le même...Merci pour vos réponses.

Dear all, I used to export the png files to my local disk from illustrator, but now I want to improve some of my workflow when I'm working on different devices so I would like to export my files in png but directly to creative cloud storage, not the local disk. I know I'm able to save the illustrator file itself to my cloud, my when I tried exporting, it didn't show the option to choose to save to my Creative Cloud. Is there a way to do this instead of going around like save on the local disk and upload to the cloud? Thank you.Karen

Hello, I have recetly encountered a problem where if I open a 2048x2048 px image in Illustrator it scales it down to 1536x1536 px. If I open a 6144x4096 px image it scales it down to 4608x3072 px.I have encountered this issue on Illustrator version 28.1.0.141 after which I updated to version 29.0.0.186 but the issue still remains.

I love working in the outline view, but sometimes the bright white of the art board in that view can feel overwhelming. I'd love to see a dark mode for the outline view where the lines are white or light gray and the artboard is a dark gray. Custom colors for outline view would be nice as well so users could pick a color combination that they find most comfortable. I'd love to hear if anyone else would like that feature too.

Hi everyone,I’m facing an issue with Adobe Illustrator where flatten transparency causes my text to get an unwanted vector format. Has anyone encountered this before or know how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated!Thanks!

Hey all, is there a way to Add a handle without having move the other one? This is true for corner point where I delete one of the handles, but then decide later on i want the other side of the corner to have a bit of a curve so i need to add in the handle that i deleted, but then when using the anchor point tool it causes the one that i worked on already to move as well... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To be clear, once again I am not talking about moving a single handle,Im talking about when I only have a single handle adjusted perfectly, then decide I need another But in order to add the other handle I (as of now) need to use the anchor point tool to drag out oneHowever in doing so causes my perfectly adjusted handle to move as well...

My AI just updated to 2024, the plug-in for Cutting Master 4 did not transfer over from the AI 2023 version. I really like CM4 more than CM5. CM5 is still new and a little buggy. I have tryed uninstalling CM4 and reinstalling it with AI shut down. It still didnt add the plug-in. So I went to Graphtec's website and looked at the system requirements for both CM4 and CM5, nither one say they support AI 2024.I would really like to use CM4, but if I HAVE TO upgrade to CM5 I will. Does anyone know what i can do here? I NEED this plugin to work!

What is the best way to wrap text to fit a shape like in the picture? I've tried making with top object but it becomes a mess with the peaks in the mountains. Thanks.

Bonjour,Est-il possible de créer des puces sous Illustrator ou sommes-nous "obliger" d'utiliser celles qui y sont installées par défaut ?Merci beaucoup.

I do something in draw insideI go out draw insideThen draw inside is no more possible for that object, why? 

I've been using Adobe Illustrator since 1999, and for the first time, I'm seriously considering switching tools. Who in their right mind removes the steering wheel from the driver and locks it in the glove compartment? This is, without a doubt, the most disastrous version ever released! The software feels completely rigid, with usability utterly decimated. You've altered fundamental shortcuts like zoom and navigation—without even providing the option to customize them! I’ll be exploring alternatives. Kudos to the team responsible for this mess, which was likely designed by people who clearly aren't real designers

Can i translate text in illustrator directly? is there any other way than copy and paste from ChatGPT or google translate into AI to translate a document in many languages? do i miss something ? 

When changing the size of a Text Area via mouse the text is repositioned within the available space.But I also regularly change sizes via the property panel in order to get the exact wanted values. But changing the size of the Text Area results in a deformed type (treated as a Point Type). There is now way to reset to the original undeformed font.Changing the dimensions in the Properties panel should behave exactly the same way as changing them using the anchor points.The behaviour via the Properties panel should be the same as via the mouse!see movie: https://feek.d.pr/Iw3MNH/dbeNydLqYe Bug is present since Ai 25, Muliple times reported but no responces

When I reopen my Illustrator file, I only have one layer left. All the stuff is condensed in one layer as a group. Also, my canvas size changed automatically. And it becomes CMYK views.  Also, some of the patterns are invisible. (I did it with live painting)  I was so frustrated that I lost all my layers and It happened several times these days.  Could anyone help me please?

As you can see, here's one example of one object I'm unable to change to colour. I've changed the color options from "grayscale" to "CMYK", to choose what colors I want but when I select the desired color nothing happens.I've selected the object and expand, and still nothing happens.I've reset the settings to default and redo the above steps but nothing happens.Anyone have this issue before?

I am trying to curve a logo around a 3d bottle shape in Illustor. I created the bottle to wrap the loga around but I do not want the bottle to appear - just the wrapped logo. I may be misinformed, but from what I read in other posts - Illustrator;s newer 3D features do not let you supress/make objects you are mapping onto transparent - BUT the older/legacy 3D Revolve features DO allow you to make the object invisible. Where I get stuck is that apparently there is a major limitation in the legacy 3D features. Vector logos very often get distorted when you wrap around a cylinder but in the newer 3D features they nver get distorted.  I simply need the logo wrapped around the surface of the cylinder - but not have the cylinder appear. From what I read - everyone says to use the Legacy 3D Revolve - but that doesnt work because the VECTOR logos get mangled. And I need to use vector vs raster. Thanks for your help.

Does anyone have an extensive experience printing JPG images/files? Does it always print good even if it is JPG as long as the resolution is 300 DPI?

Let's say I want to create the effect shown here: a yellow fill with a bold black outline, and then a Block Shadow effect, and then a blue outline around the whole thing. The way I currently achieve this is by creating a new black fill under the yellow fill, then applying the Offset Path and Block Shadow effects to the black fill, and then I duplicate that entire fill and change the fill color to blue before adding a Pathfinder:Add effect and the final Path:Offset Path effect. My question is: is it necessary to duplicate the first Offset Path and Block Shadow effect before I can apply the blue Offset Path effect to the entire effect? Or is there a better, more efficient way of applying a new effect to the entire series of effects thus far?
