Why when exporting and illustrator artboard as an svg do I get it all mirrored?And not all elements included??

I don't know what update did this, but my strokes are all messed up! This is a little complicated to explain, but stroke weight is changing the sizes of my shape. For instance, if I make a 2" x 2" stroked square and change the stroke weight from 1 to 3, suddenly the shape is now 2.0417" not 2. The only way I have found to remedy this, and it's not a fool proof fix, is to change the stroke from "Align stroke to center" to "Align stroke to Inside". This still doesn't always fix my problem. I'm trying to build templates at full scale, and when I shrink them down to quarter scale it drastically changes the size of my shape. I made a full scale build of a deck that I'm building. I had to scale it down for the city and when I did, it went from 2.13" high, to 2.03" I then had to change my stroke weight and reinput my overall height to get something close to an accurate scaled version. I have NEVER had this issue until recently. I've tried turning off the scale stroke thickeness, but that is N

Well, the title says it all, but here's an overview: I recently installed the macOS Sonoma Beta. Since installing, both Illustrator and Illustrator Beta can no longer save any file—not jpg, png, svg, ai, pdf, or any other format. I have tried export as, and save as, but both result in my Illustrator app force crashing without any prompt, spinning wheel of death, or any other indicator that it is about to crash. In attempts to resolve this, I have force quit them, uninstalled and reinstalled, and also restart my laptop. Absolutely nothing has worked other than uninstalling and reinstalling; however, in order to save one file I have to uninstall and reinstall every single time. Is there any solution to this?

Bonjour à tous, Sans avoir souvenir d'avoir changer quoi que ce soit dans mes paramètres de base d'Illustrator, mon spectre de couleurs dans le sélecteurs de couleurs n'est plus le même.Alors qu'avant, j'avais les déclinaisons d'une même couleur, aujourd'hui, je me retrouve avec un panel de couleurs différentes.Sauriez-vous quel paramètre faut-il changer pour revenir à la configuration initiale ? (Je vous mets les photos du spectre que je pouvais avoir avant (que j'ai pris sur Photoshop), et celui que j'ai actuellement, avec le dégradé bleu/rouge) Merci à tous pour votre aide !Sarah

Hi, whenever I use the 3d it's incredibly slow.  Takes like 10 minutes to render in low quality raytrace. Or if I try moving the lights around, or shadow in preview mode. I have: amd ryzen 9, 64gb ddr5, Nvidia 4090. Why is it so slow? I am a 3d modeler and use cinema 4d. I can render extremely fast. An entire scene with over 10k polys, raytracimg, caustics, subsurface you name it. I can even model in real render time. Yet, illustrator I make a sphere and it just lags. Please help

what is going on with this update, after adding in custom brushes this thing just keeps crashing today was the worst. I lost 4 hours worth of work, yes I backed it up, yes the recovery file opened and guess what. IT CRASHED, then bam everything was lost, like bro what is going on. I do everything right back everything up I was even saving the file as I went but guess what "sorry file can not save" crash. I have a macbook pro M1 MAX 32gb of ram 2tb ssd, trust me when I'm wokring on these files it no issue at all, saving however omg. FIX THIS APP BRO    Note: Renamed by Mod

Hi Adobe community, I’m designing banners for 3 different interfaces (Website, Tablet, Mobile) in 10 languages, with 9 images per language, resulting in over 1000 designs. While I use Figma for auto-layout, variables, and swatches, I want to switch to Illustrator for vector clarity. How can I efficiently handle artboards, reuse symbols, set up global swatches, automate tasks, and apply data merge to manage these multilingual and multi-interface designs? Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

Hello! I don't understand what is happening with a shape bulder tool.  There is a gap in outlines after using shapebuilder. So I can't divide precisely even a circle. I don't remember such problems in previous old versions of Illustrator. Pls, help me I tried different settings of the shape builder and also a problem repeates with pathfinder. 

I took some extra time to save commonly used icons so I can drag and drop them when making labels for my job. Some of these saved artworks are just text boxes with web addresses or instruction info that I use on every label. When I try to embed these artworks I get a popup that says "The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted. To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined." and then the text is extra thick compared to everything else. Is there a way to stop this? I embed everything because I had issues with losing image quality on linked images. Is there an alternative?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a project in Illustrator and need some help. I'm creating a detailed vector design, but the file gets slow as it gets bigger.

Bonjour à tous , j'ai un soucis avec mes créations vectorisées sur Illustrator qui sont pixélisées que ce soit à l'exportation ou sur le plans de travail. Comment faire pour qu'elles restent vectorisées ? 

Hey Creatives!Got a quick question, Im wondering if anyone can walk me through how id set up an action to select and artboard change the width to 82 and the height to 51. I would then futher need one for 98x51 but I bet once we figure out the first one the following should just be inputting different numbers in its place. I work at a printing/packaging place & we are starting to dive into the world of VDPS. (This would help the process greatly)

I found this logo on freepik just for practice I want to know how this logo was made. How multiple gradients was used on a path. 1: The left path of "A" (/) used radial gradient2: The path on bottom of A (_) used linear gradient What I think that these are two different layers Do anyone have suggestion or workaround with single layer. How to add multiple gradient on single path or object?  

Hi,I am trying to scale or change the length of a gradient fill. I managed to rotate it using the trick with .rotate without changing the shape, but I can't get the equivalent working with changing the length of the gradient - it just doesn't do anything!I am on Illustrator 18 using JavaScript.pathItem.fillColor.length doesn't work, and neither does .resize!

Hello, I need a script that creates a rectangle with the total area size of the objects I select and makes size adjustments.It needs to include these;1- It should create a rectangle with the total size of the objects I selected.2- Fill none. The stroke must be a spot color named "MONTAJ" in red.3- Measurement should be added. Width:+120mm Height:+280mm4-Measure fractions with numerators added must be converted to whole numbers. (valid for width and height separately).Example:Between 1750-1799mm, 1800 should do it.Between 1701-1749mm, 1700 should do it.(There should be a minimum difference of +60mm between the old measurement and the new measurement. If it is less than +60mm, it should be adjusted to the upper integer. 5- If the total number width or height is less than 400mm, it should be fixed to 400mm.Finally, the measurement should be written as text. (This is not very important.) I know it's hard but I need it. Thank you.

How can I get these numbers anigned?
