The Spacebar and Z key for the Hand tool and zoom are not working. I am on Windows 10 and i checked out a bunch of threads on why this bug might be happening. Some say it's because of chrome or some other app stopping the keystroke, but none of these suggestions worked I am on latest Illustrator CC version. Thanks in Advance !

I've drawn a shape I want to reuse for tabs and titlebars: a rectangle with the upper corners rounded and the lower corners square.I duplicate this shape and want to reduce the width: so I select the shape, open the Transform dialogue, set the anchor point, make sure "Scale corners" is not selected, make sure "Constrain height and width" is not selected, and enter the required width at W.Result? the "[do not]Scale corners" setting is ignored, and corner radius is reduced.The only way I've found to resize without changing the corner radius is direct select, Transform, resize by hand, wait for Transform dialogue to display new width, rinse and repeat until I get the width I want.Is there really no easier way?Illustrator CC 19.2.19, in case I'm missing something.

 

Hi we have updated Illustrator on our MAC OS Monterey, and we discore a lot of bugs in this version   concerning the appeareance : what is shown in appearance window doesn't correspond to what is visible on the drawing   concerning the eyedropper : it doesn't work, we have to "ungroup" all objects to have it working well... even object that were not "grouped".   Very strange. Does someone experiment this also? Thanks to adobe to correct this soon!  

Can someone explain to me the function of the Suffix checkbox when you use Export As from Illustrator (on Windows 10)? It has no impact on file names whether or not you check it because I can't see any way to actually enter a suffix unless you select Export for Screens instead of Export As. Or am I missing somewhere else you can enter a suffix before then choosing Export As? Furthermore, can Adobe please:1) Add a feature where you can reset your artboard names automatically? I often end up with, for example, "Artboard 16 copy 8" etc etc at the end of my process, and I'd like to be able to reset them all to "Artboard 1" to "Artboard 18" (or however many artboards there are) without having to do so manually, just based on the order they're in. 2) Add another feature on Export As where you can choose whether or not Illustrator uses your artboard names at the end (which is what I would have assumed the Suffix checkbox did, but it doesn't). As far as I can tell, if you don't edit

Good day to everyone. Recently encountered a problem with my properties panel in Illustrator. It was all good for several months after i first installed it, but when I opened Illustrator one day it turned out to be like this. I've tried reopening the tab, resetting, deleting the preferences settings in Adobe folder, even completly deleting all my adobe apps from my PC, clearing all possible files remaining and downloading once again, yet still nothing has changed. The same problem was in the last version of illustrator 2024, updated to 2025 and still the same. Has anyone had the same problem and are there any solutions to returning the default look.Much appreciated  

I'm using adobe illustrator on my iPad for a school assignment and when I tried to save it and upload it to a google drive, it shows as a pdf. Is there any way to fix it?

Hi,I only have a Samsung Z-Fold 6, and hope to use Ai Web soon -please allow beta testing on mobile Chrome rather than requiring a desktop! If I had a desktop, I'd just download the Ai desktop app (o;   If it's buggy, that's fine -it's a beta.  Alternatively, please develop an Android Ai app, but I suspect that that is more difficult than simply turning off the browser-verification.  thanks for all you do for us creatives!SRVC

Whenever I work with text in Illustrator I always tend to face this problem: There are unwanted spaces in a selected text, which is hard to work with as it doesn't give me the accurate dimentions of the text. It gets even worse when when I use the tarcking characters option, it leaves a huge space on the right, higher the tracking number, bigger the space. It does not align properly in the center or to anything (as you can see, all the selected texts are aligned vertically and yet the tracked text leaves quite some room on the right, it's impractical).Some might suggest to outine the text, but that turns the letters into indivual shapes/objects, it works until I need to use the character settings which is no longer possible. Is there a way out of this? Feel free to leave any suggestions or advice. 

I have currently encountered a bug in the latest update of Adobe Illustrator (V29.0.1)Whenever I create a new document and selecting recent artboard size, it automatically goes back to the first/latest size. It happened not once but multiple times.On the screenshot, I specifically selected the red one, but after a few seconds, it selects/goes back to the blue one.

Hi, I try to generate svg string using extendscript everything is working properly except flip. My codevar doc = app.activeDocument; // Get the current selection in Illustrator var selectedItems = doc.selection;//[0]; // Check if a path item is selected and convert it to an SVG path string if (selectedItems.length > 0) { //var selectedItem = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; // Loop through each item in the selection for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++) { var item = selectedItems[i];//alert(item.typename); if (item.typename === 'CompoundPathItem' || item.typename === "PathItem" || item.typename === "GroupItem") { var svgString = compoundOrGroupItemToSVG(item); alert(svgString); // Output the generated SVG string } else { alert("Please select a PathItem."); } } } else { alert("No item selected."); } function applyTransform(pathItem, point) { if (!point || point.length < 2) { alert("Invalid point: " + poi

Can someone tell me why ican someone tell me why it's putting black behind my lines and how I get rid of it?  

I'm writing a script to convert any text from foot-inch to just inches. I am pulling my hair out trying to get a RegExp that will match all my corner cases as well as capture the correct info. I need to capture the Feet portion (if present), the inches portion (if present) and the fractional inches portion (if present). Also, these may be preceeded or followed by other text in the same line. I want to use the same RegExp pattern to do the replacement using String.replace().Are there any RegExp gurus out there that can help? Here are all the cases I need to deal with (spaces are indicated with a "•"):  13'-•2" 13'•-2" 13'•-•2" 13'•2" 13'2" 13'-2" 8'•6•3/4" 8'6•3/4" 8'-•6•3/4" 8'-6•3/4" 8'•-6•3/4" 8'•-•6•3/4" 7'•1/2" 7'1/2" 7'-•1/2" 7'-1/2" 7'•-1/2" 7'•-•1/2" 4' 3/8" 3•3/8" 14"  It would be nice if the group numbers could match across each case (i.e. feet are always group 1), but they don't need to be the same number so long as I can logic out which is which by the nu

Hola, estaba buscando un post sobre el tema pero no encontré.Tengo Adobe Illustrator 2025 y funcionaba muy bien, ahora hace dos dias tiene problemas para guardar en Creative Cloud.Tanto para guardar, como auto guardado, etc. Demora una cantidad grande de tiempo y luego aparece un mensaje que se desahibilito el autoguardado por demora, luego varias veces se cerró y perdí el trabajo.Volvi al sistema Sonoma, di formato al disco, reinstalé todo, luego Borré preferencias, y continúa el problema.El archivo solo tiene 3 Mb. ¡Gracias!

Hi everybody, I'm not really an Illustrator guy, much more Photoshop. In Photoshop, when you zoom in/out the window changes size with the comp. In Illustrator it just hangs out and takes up space. I'm on a laptop without much screen space. Is there a setting that scales the window with the comp upon zoom in/out? There's just all this empty grey that I have to scale along every comp I'm working on, really bothersome. 

I'm trying to expand a gradient in Adobe Illustrator to convert it into blocks of color in specific steps, but the software won't allow me to do it. I've followed all the instructions to the letter and I'm sure I'm not making any mistakes. I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2025. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Hello all,Yesterday I saved files, today I cant open.  Long story short I was working with 3 separate projects. I was doing like 10 minutes overtime at the office. I pressed save on all of them, one after the other, after they saved (I was watching how the percentage goes to 100% in title of the window, and after the " * " sign dissapears at the end, thus confirming it saved).Now I saw this happening to all 3 of them. Today I start up my computer and it does a forced system update. (windows) It has been asking me for a while nowm but ive been postponing. After the update, 2 files are not opening, window comes up:  "text import options" if I press okay, i get an empty artboard."prezentare_vis_id.ai" and "design perete.ai" are the ones not working. They are 14MB and 18MB size.1 file opens up normally, no problem. Its the "Prezentare Personaje Grafica - Gradinita Baciu"File previews in Illustrator are showing me that the files look normal. Here are the not wo

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Surface Laptop 7 with an ARM processor with the knowledge that it may have some incompatibilities with the software but unfortunately I can't download the beta of the Illustrator and InDesign programs (they are not shown in the BETA section of the Creative Cloud app). I live in Italy, as far as I understand the problem is the region? Is it possible to fix the problem?

Illustrator 2025 keep crashing - no idea why - help error file enclosed, I have removed and reinstalled Illustrator, I have also used the cleaning tool but still with it just crashes out of nowhere

It would be really useful if you had an indicator in the toolbar that shows if Edges are currently Hidden or Shown. It could also be a toggle, but just showing the status clearly and always would be enough.

This and the last version (24, 25) have a bug where Icant use the color picker on grouped objects. Even shift clickingdoesnt work. It is very frustrating and used to always workfine for me. (I am on MacOS Ventura, but as I said I havethe problem for a while now...)/Attached a GIF for further explanation./any help would be highly appreciated.Thanks

hi . I had separate subscriptions for the illustrator and on the animate. This month I changed to creative Cloud with all Applikationen but it still shows in the illustrator for non- payment.
