Questions

There are two objects on the artboard: a simple rectangle on the left and a clipping group on the right. Inside the clipping group (which is created in the program with the command: Clipping mask -> Make) is a simple rectangle with a stroke.The clipping mask object has no fill!  Both objects are just selected, it's not a group. I want to find clipping groups that have no fill, like the one shown on the right.However, this code finds two objects that fit this condition. Why not just one?   var arrayNoFill = []; for (var i = 0; i < newLayer.pageItems.length; i++) { var item = newLayer.pageItems[i]; if (item.typename === "PathItem") { continue; } if (item.typename === "GroupItem" && item.clipped) { var clippingMask = null; for (var j = 0; j < item.pageItems.length; j++) { var subItem = item.pageItems[j]; if (subItem.clipping) { clippingMask = subItem; }

Hi, still relativiely new AI user here; I have no idea what I did, but essentially all the shapes and paths I've made are filling in orange despite having "No Fill" selected. My plan is to fill them in at some point anyways, and I could just fill white where needed but I'd like to know what exactly I did to make this happen?? Thank you in advance. 

Good day, AI Community.Please let me first start by saying I am new to this program and to this cutting plotter (Graphtec CE7000-40), and I plan on signing up for some extensive training. However, in the meantime, I am following instructions, step by step, to get a logo from Canva (downloaded in jnp format), opened in AI and sent to Cutting Master 5. However, when I select File (in AI), I do not see it listed as an option. Could someone please tell me what I am possibly doing wrong? Obviously, I have missed/misunderstood a process/step along the way. Any help would be amazing! Thank you!

Whenever I move my mouse on some of my Illustrator files, the background grey flicks between two shades of grey really fast and it hurts my eyes. I've recently just converted over to a new Apple Mac Mini with an M1 chip, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it (not sure if the issue is related to GPU or not). It also happens when I zoom in and out too. The only way to make it go away is to close and reopen the document. It will be fine for a while and then it will start up again. Again, not on on all documents, and not all of the time, just sometimes and it's just a minor inconvenience! I've attached a little screen recording as an example. I've done lots of searching and I can't find any resolutions yet, I'm thinking it's just a bug. Unless I'm wording this all wrong! 

Hello!My lines has some grungy texture to it. I wan't a straight line and I can't find where to correct this.Looking through which brushes I've got in the library, I don't seem to have any normal brushes.I have uninstalled Illustrator and installed it again, but the problem is still there.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance!  

I see we are still missing the replace all feature in Illustrator 2025 (illustrator v29.0) This is causing a huge issue with time in prepress work. I also have the issue now of having to relink individual placed files one at a time instead of being able to do it seuquentially.  I select two images to replace it used to be I would replace one and the window would open to replace the second now it doesn't even do that. It stops after replacing one image.    Both these features really need to be fixed.   

Somehow I narrowed the star shape tool so that it makes shapes like straight lines instead of a star. How do I reset it? For example, a four-point star looks like the letter X right now.

Since updating to sonoma I've had a number of issues with illustrator. Sometimes it doesn't load and hangs on opening screen so have to force quit. Sometimes it loads works fine until I save and then it hangs so I lose all the work I've done. This is not great considering we pay a subscription.   I've gone down to Illustrator 27.96 as i was getting more problems with v28. Can you please advise on a solution?

If you make a new document with dimensions as in the original document, then the dimensions of the artboard do not match at all in the new document, how can this be handled?     var sourceDoc = app.activeDocument;    var newDoc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.CMYK);    newDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect = sourceDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect;

Olá, tudo bem?Espero que possam me ajudar! Eu estava editando um arquivo no Adobe Illustrator e, ao utilizar o comando do Pathfinder, o programa travou e fechou inesperadamente. Após reiniciar o Illustrator, tentei abrir o arquivo novamente, mas ele parece ter corrompido.O curioso é que, na tela inicial do programa, o projeto ainda aparece listado com a miniatura visível. No entanto, ao abrir o arquivo, ele está completamente vazio, sem nenhum conteúdo visível.Existe alguma forma de recuperar o arquivo ou o conteúdo dele? Desde já, agradeço pela atenção e qualquer orientação que puderem me dar.

I saw a post about this back in 2012. However that answer said it was fixed in the next update. I am trying to open a file, but when I do, it automatically expands the shapes? Is there a setting to stop this from happening?

Bonjour, je n'arrive pas déplacer mon objet sur ma grille de perspective avec l'outils selection de perspective (dans mon fichier specifiquement dans un autre j'ai réussi). Même avec la "distorsion de l'envelloppe" ça ne marche pas j'ai un message d'erreur qui apparaît. Le problème vient-il de l'objet ou de ma grille, je suis coincée. Quelqu'un a une idée ? Merci

Olá! Faz alguns dias que estou tentando acessar várias funcionalidades do ilustrator, mas a maioria permanece em "cinza claro" e não consigo acessar, e consequentemente, não consigo concluir meu projeto. Saberiam-me ajudar com isso?

Hi allI work in large format printing and i need to use Ai to impose multiple A5 artworks on a 8x4ft artboard, I have 15 files that are approx 500mbs each, i place them on my artboard (which takes too long), then i step and repeat them so i have an overall total of 75 A5 artworks on my artboard. I have upgraded my pc to a super high spec machine but im still facing low performance, its it possible to have the linked files, reduced somehow, or is there any suggestions?Surely the artwork in my artboard should be a low resolution visual representation of the linked file in my folder and performance should be lightening fast. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I create both email (with the attached illustration) and pages.Is it possible to do this kind of work with illustrator?If so, how would I go about hosting the pages?Thank you in advance for any kind of suggestions you may be able to provide. 

So, i followed the instructions as "Preference" -- "Type" -- choose "Show Indic Options".Then went to "Paragraph", selected as below: Then when i copied and pasted, i still got this: (copied red texts from Word, got black texts pasted in Illstrator) Does anyone know what should i do to fix the Arabic text direction problem?Someone mentioned there's any option in the "Paragraph" panel that could choose "Right-to-Left" or "Left-to-Right" direction, but why i couldn't see the option here? Mine is 24.2.1 version. Thanks a lot!

My iPad Pro 11inch (3rd gen) is up to date with 18.1 OS. Illustrator keeps freezing up, I'm using a simple file, nothing fancy to take a lot of memory. It doesnt matter the file actually I've tried multiple. I've restarted and reinstalled the app and still no change. 

Help. Que je crée un fichier avec une page blanche ou que j'ouvre un fichier déjà créé, la page glisse systématiquement, toute seule, vers la droite et disparaît de l'écran. Impossible de l'arrêter.Déjà eu ce phénomène ? (Pas de clavier bloqué ou souris défectueuse)Merci
