Questions

Is anyone else having this (admittedly not huge) problem? Since updating to Illustrator 2023, I can no longer toggle between open illustrator documents using using Command + ~ (I'm on a Mac). I noticed that this funtion disappeared from Photoshop awhile back, but I was still able to do it in Illustrator and InDesign until very recently. Again, it's not an unworkable problem, but it does slow down my workflow, so any help would be great. Thank you!

A few days ago i made some sketches/imported some inspriation images into the illustrator-file that I was working in. I later deleted all of them. Now, whenever i try to export an object into an SVG, the deleted objects follows the export. It even happens when i open a completly new file and even after i reinstalled illustrator. Did anyone else experience this issue? If yes, how did you solve it?

Software Info:Windows 10 Pro, 64bitAdobe CC, all apps utd Hi! I'm having a weird one. When I am using the type tool in Illustrator and go to choose my font, Times New Roman Regular does not exist in the list. I have Bold, Bold Italic, and Italic. The font is installed on my computer and working properly in other programs aside from Photoshop. Photoshop is replacing TNR-R with Radioactive Roman. If I take an old file that had TNR-R and open it in Illustrator, TNR-R is automatically replaced with Radioactive Roman. If I open it in Photoshop, it looks OK but says it is Radioactive.  According to Windows, I cannot uninstall and reinstall Times or Radioactive to see if that would fix the issue. Times is a protected font, and Radioactive doesn't even have a path to find the file. Any ideas?

I try to recolor text object. The color PANTONE 185 C is present in the swatches and if object type is CompoundPathItem then it works. But when a text object selected then it lost a color (that is, it turns into an object without fill).#target illustrator var doc = app.activeDocument; var swatches = doc.swatches; if (doc.selection.length > 0) { var targetItem = doc.selection[0]; if (targetItem.typename == "PathItem" || targetItem.typename == "CompoundPathItem") { var colorFound = false; for (var i = 0; i < swatches.length; i++) { if (swatches[i].name == "PANTONE 185 C") { alert("PANTONE 185 C"); targetItem.fillColor = swatches[i].color; colorFound = true; break; } } if (!colorFound) { alert("PANTONE 185 C not found in Swatches"); } } else { alert("apply fill color"); var textRange = targetItem.textRange;

Tengo un Imac nuevo, no tengo información guardada en el, pero al intentar usar illustrator me dice que no tiene memoria para procesar en macOS, alguna sugerencia?Ya realicé todos los pasos que aparecen en la Ayuda de Adobe y no funcionaron 

Hello,I am new to this forum and relatively new to Illustrator but I've got a good grip on it I think.I have been scanning artwork in to Photoshop to fine tune, and then saving as a TIFF file to place in illustrator (my graphics are for fabric printing). Then I've been making an Image Trace using High Fidelity Photo and this has worked well previously. Today however I'm working with smaller elements and I don't think the result is particularly good. The trace is far removed from the original, yet I know it is possible to look almost exactly the same because I have experienced this (and seen people on youtube having very detailed results using High Fidelity Photo to Image Trace watercolours).Both the PS and AI files are set to 300ppi, both using CMYK colours.I've attached screenshots of an example of my problem, as well as the Image Trace panel so you can see my issue.The left images are the original watercolour taken from PS as a TIFF file.The right images is the Image Trace I get usin

Look at this video:No, it is not locked. No, it is not in a locked layer. It is just randomly not going to move. I can only move this element ith the arrow keys. I can also nog select it righht.What is happening here???

 

Whenever I open an Illustrator file, it begins on the left of the window and is slightly slim and I have to adjust the tab and search for the artwork.

Hello fellow members, I am so annoyed because the adobe generative recolour window disappears once I applied colour to the design I need the history to remain there so I can use other colours pallets which I liked.   is there something Im doing wrong or its meant to be disappearing after I apply the colour pallet.   ( I want to use multiple pallets on same design after applying one pallet I want to dublicate the art work and I want the generative recolour window to stay stactic so I can apply another colour pallet to the same design.)   I hope my question makes sense and desperately looking for a solution.   thank you 

Hi All,I just created a game art character in Illustrator CC, sliced it up, exported the slices to PNG, but my Exported PNGs don't seem have a clean Alpha transparency—such as I'd get in Fireworks for example.When I bring them into the 'Spriter' animation software, they appear to have ragged edges with white anti-aliasing (like a gif).Q: Is it not possible to export with a clean Alpha transparency from Illustrator?I tried PNG 8 and PNG 24, with:> Save for Web (legacy)When I tried any other export option, including 'export selection', it failed to save all of the slices. "Unable to export the following files."But I digress...Thanks all,John

Been having all sorts of issues with Beta - arrowhead selection on the stroke options is all duplicated so I can't tell which I'm selecting until I click it. Effects panel just shows a blank; impossible to tell what the effect looks like until I apply it. What's up with this?! Any solutions Adobe? It's making my workstream extremely slow.

When I add text in an Adobe Illustrator 2023 document it defaults to Myriad Roman, which is not installed on my computer. So I get the pink text box. And oftentimes type and labels that are in Myriad Pro Regular (which is my supposedly default font) will change to Myriad Roman for no reason. Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it? I'm on a Macbook Pro, Apple M1 chip, Sonoma 14.6.1, Illustrator 2023. Thanks.

Hi there,how do you reduce or adjust the size of the large gray area around the artboard? The large unused space is troublesome to me when i want to scroll in my document, because i easealy end up way past the area i am looking for while i'm scrolling. I know there are lots of other functions to get to the desired area, but i rather want to fix this issue than to change my workflow.I hope someone has solution for this.

When I export artwork as an SVG, the Os (circles) within the text are misaligned and filled incorrectly (see attached). I converted the type to shapes before exporting. Same problem. Any ideas?

Does anybody know if it is possible to make a basic production file like this where the size is dependent on an 'x'Say the distance between the horizontal lines is 'x'The height of the pink box needs to be (3*x)+1)For everytime I would start a new production file I would open this template file and change the value for 'x'.Same goes for the length of the lines (say 'y') in relation to the length of the pink box. ('y'+1,25 in)Hope someone knows this.Best regards, Ron

Does anyone have any idea why when I run the following java script my resulting DXF file is the wrong scale? If I do the process manually I get the correct result. Thanks very much  // Define the folder containing the SVG filesvar folderPath = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder with SVG files");// Check if the folder is validif (folderPath != null) {// Get all SVG files in the foldervar svgFiles = folderPath.getFiles("*.svg");// Loop through each SVG filefor (var i = 0; i < svgFiles.length; i++) {var svgFile = svgFiles[i];// Open the SVG filevar activeDoc = app.open(svgFile);// Select all objects in the active documentactiveDoc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();// Set the name for the DXF file (same as the SVG file, but with .dxf extension)var dxfFileName = svgFile.name.replace(".svg", ".dxf");var dxfFilePath = folderPath.fsName + "/" + dxfFileName;// Set the export options for DXFvar dxfOptions = new ExportOptionsAutoCAD();dxfOptions.exportFileFormat = AutoCADExportFile

Sorry if this has been answered but i'm not sure how to search this.  I'll try to explain. Please excuse my terminology.I am trying to recreate the attached (blue) long rectangle . Sorry about the bad quality.Imagine a long horizontal rectangle shape with a gradient on one end at 100% fill opacity and the other 0% opacity. Now, at points along the way i want to create uniform spaced out (Masks) which "cut out" sections of the rectangle. I have found ways to do this but the problem is when i follow the options i've found the gradient starts and stops with each and every mask cutout. I need the gradient to stay consistant from one end to the other and not be effected by the cutouts/masks. I was able to get this to work using the transparency mask but i'm not sure how to do this and keep a identical size consistant distribution of cutout/masks (ex. a 1inch mask every other 1inch over a 5 inch length of the rectangle).  I just added a Yellow gradient example (highe

It happens with the latest versions (currently 28.1). After throwing that error, it closes completely. I have tried to go back to previous versions but I get other types of errors.

What's the shortcut for Edit Contents in Object > Envelope Distort? There use to be one. I'm talking about editing an image that's aready in Envelope Destort. The same shortcaut used to end the Edit Content, when done with the revisions. Thanks.

This same problem happened several versions back. It's back in this new version. All the layer names have x5F added in the svg code on export svg. Like, <svg id="medal_x5F_icon".   Search and replace is an easy fix, but hopfully the next version fixes it again.   Thanks Chris
