Hi Everyone.My right click function is working when I select a clipping mask group.It also works fine when multiple items are selected that aren't in a clipping mask.As soon as I select multiple clipping mask groups the right click function stops working.Any advice on how to solve this issue?

Starting with Illustrator 28.4, the object hierarchy is not preserved when saving and re-opening an SVG file. Many groups are created for no apparent reason. Example, before save:After save and re-open:After another save and re-open:After another save and re-open:This makes Illustrator completely impractical for editing SVG files. I will have to stay at 28.3 until this error is fixed.

Hello Team, I’m using Adobe Illustrator in my process to save AI files as SVG files. Previously, I used CS5 without any issues, and performance was fast. However, the current version of Illustrator CC is very slow, and I’m facing several problems.Specifically, when I start the application, if I don't interact with the computer, Illustrator doesn’t save data quickly—it can take hours. The same image only takes about a minute in CS5.It seems like Illustrator goes into sleep mode. I’ve reached out multiple times but haven’t received a proper solution; they just keep asking for system specs, which I’ve already provided several times.Please help me with a proper solution. I’m using Mouse Juggler to prevent my system from locking, but Adobe Illustrator still goes into sleep mode if I’m not actively using the computer. I’m running a process that takes around 10 hours, so I can’t be at the computer the entire time. This is really frustrating. Thank you!

I need a professional to recreate the Chat GPT logo in a high-resolution PDF. The aim is to keep the 'shape and layout' of the current logo while incorporating 'minor adjustments' to enhance the design.

These faint lines keep appearing when I create overlapping shapes, as can be seen at the very bottom and top of the image. It should be completely white like the sides. They change slightly when I zoom in/out. The paths are completely lined up and the only stroke is on the inside of the path. I don't know how to get rid/not see them. Is this a bug? I can fix it by making my shapes slightly smaller although it seems like there should be a better way. Running Adobe Illustrator CC 2018, GPU Preview. Any help would be appreciated!!

So I've attached some txt files of scripts I've written for a project I'm working on. I'm creating digital renders of walls on a 10 pixels : 1 inch ratio. The following scripts get me the dimensions in inches of a selected object and the dimensions in inches of the active artboard. It creates a line and prints text. This works great on a standard canvas. If you hit file>new and change nothing they both work as intended.I have certain projects have up to 28 walls I need to create digital renders of and so I've made a file template that has a canvas size larger than 20,000 pixels to accomodate. On the larger canvas size, all my scripts are scaled up. My 80 pt font becomes 800 pt, my 6 pt stroke becomes 60 pt, etc.I found another post that pointed to the large document scale factor being set to 10 instead of the regular scale factor of 1, and that can be seen through "app.activeDocument.scaleFactor". That post can be seen in more depth here.I'm wondering if there's a way to get my scri

Hey everyone. I created a set of swatches as .ase file a while back and now I want to remove some of the colours. I can't seem to find out how to do this!

I've been having this weird issue over the past couple of weeks where elements with drop shadows export with the drop shadow on top of the element or coming out extra dark.  It only happens when exporting to JPEG.  If I export to PNG, it corrects the issue.  Also, if I have two symbols stacked on top of eachother, and the bottom symbol has an effect applied to its appearance, it renders on top of the other symbol regardless of draw order.  Take a look at the shadows behind the "267" highway symbol below.  The shadow is a symbol and it's rendering it on top when exporting to JPEG. The top image is how it's supposed to look.  The bottom is how it's exporting.This is Illustrator, 28.7.1. Windows 10 PCNVidia 3080 TI64gb RAM EDIT:  Just reinstalled the latest NVidia drivers, but the problem remains.

(How to delete "your recent items" from the "new document" window in Illustrator) Deixo aqui o pedido para que a Adobe lance uma atualização com um botão simples para apagar esse histórico de arquivos caso o usuário deseje.

Since last update so SLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW to save files!!!

Hi, I am having major issues in drawing and tracing with my pen tool. At unpredictable moments, the pen tool stops working at peak level, in which it's unable to follow my commands with exactitude. In other words, I'm unable to draw or trace with exactness. Instead, the pen tool "jumps" to locations just a bit off from where I'm directing it to be - behaving in a jagged manner and having a delayed response - thus preventing me from creating the vectors I want to create, and completing my work. Does anyone else deal with this issue? What can be done to solve it? When I call Adobe for help, the support team also seems unsure as to why this is occurring - because after running numerous tests, they claimed it had to do with one specific file, rather than the program itself. But this happens frequently, with different files. Thanks in advance for your thoughts -

I am having an issue using the Eye Dropper tool, when editing inside a group. When entering a group, Illustrator fades the other items not within the current group. This is handy for visualization purposes, but it should be only that. Why then does the Eye Dropper tool pick the faded color when selecting other objects outside of the current group? It should understand that the faded color is only faded to aid the user. The eye dropper should pick the "actual" color still outside of the group. I am sure that's the way it used to work and it changed somewhere along the way. This is a bug, right? I'm on version 28.7.1

 Hello, when i click on Free Transform Tool, the widget giving me additional options is not showing up. 

Hello - I made a small script (w/ the help of ChatGPT) that gives back the current scale and the rotate of a placed and selected image…It works prefectly as a "standalone" script.But when I try to embed in a palette and call it via a button it doesn't work". Could someone helps me on this? Here is the code:  #target Illustrator #targetengine main var myPalette_XPOS = 2150; var myPalette_YPOS = 30; // PALETTE // ======= var myPalette = new Window('palette', 'DC TOOLS'); // , {resizeable: true} // myPalette.text = "DC TOOLS"; myPalette.orientation = "column"; myPalette.alignment = "center"; // Center the text horizontally myPalette.alignChildren = ["center","top"]; myPalette.spacing = 1; myPalette.margins = 2; var button10 = myPalette.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "button10"}); button10.text = "IMG Scale"; button10.alignment = ["center","top"]; myPalette.frameLocation = [ myPalette_XPOS, myPalette_YPOS ]; myP

Hello, I am trying for multiple files to batch export from a vector to .dwgI have recorded my actions and when I run them for a single file everything works perfectly and a dwg file is created with the vector inside it. However when I batch the files with this action, multiple files are created (png, ai and dwg) with the dwg file to be flattened and not vector anymore. Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to batch export files to .dwg? thank you in advance!

Why are these two elements not coming together properly?

Hi, I've been looking for several days for an answer to this problem and I can't find a solution. I have a Ryzen 5 7530u with integrated graphics. I have tried everything but I can't get adobe to let me activate the gpu performance, so I can't activate the animated zoom. My computer is an Asus zenbook 2023 and the memory is 8gb and 512mb for vram. I know that the processor and the integrated graphics is totally in terms of power and performance qualified, but I am not being able to work properly, being that I acquired this device with the intention of using it for what it is, creative work. The bios does not allow you to change it. Through the registry editor it doesn't change anything and only causes performance problems. Adding illustrator in the graphics settings and setting it to high performance doesn't solve the problem either. Note: It is not my intention to increase the vram either, but I still tried all the ways and apparently the laptop is blocked from bios to not have access

How can I delete from a brush stroke which I'm drawing 'inside' another path.Eraser tool doesn't work.

I have been using the excellent live-effect-functions-for-illustrator https://github.com/mark1bean/live-effect-functions-for-illustrator  Only one small problem: I cannot get Expand Appearance to work. What I am doing wrong here: //@include LE_Functions.js for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.activeLayer.pathItems.length; i++) { LE_OffsetPath(app.activeDocument.activeLayer.pathItems[i], {offset: i*5, expandAppearance: true}); } @m1b
