With all of the AI features that Adobe has been featuring lately, I've been hoping to see a solution to this inquiry, but so far I can't find any answers.I've been using the Libraries to store and use graphics that I create, which has been great - but individually naming, organizing, and adding tags to each asset has been really time consuming. Plus, it is impossible to get a truly comprehensive search when 1. Description fields have a 130 character limit and 2. Human error means that not all tags might be the most relevant for every search.For example: Let's say I have a graphic of an apple that I upload to my library. I can name the asset "Apple" and write the following keywords/tags in the description: "Fruit, Produce, Food", and that asset will only show up if any part of those keywords are typed in the search bar. However, if someone else using my library wants to look for something like an apple but searches a different word like "Grocery", the apple won't show up. What woul

Need to use the eyedropper? No, i decided to not work properly today. Need to open a file? No. I'm not gonna show the artboard to you. I don't conform to the norm, that's ctrl+2 to lock the elements for you! Don't get me started on the fonts... Ai feels like it's always on labor strike. [renamed by mod]

Hello We have been implementing Illustrator plugins since past 7 years. This is the first time we are phasing a problem with the documentation to implement arrowhead for a line! The line is being drawn using sAIShapeConstruction->NewLinePoint (oStart, oEnd, poHandle); and stroke width and other things like colors can be done using AIPathStyles sAIPathStyle->GetPathStyle(oArtHandle, &oPathStyle, &oAdvFill); oPathStyle.stroke.width = 0.1 * kPointsPerMM; sAIPathStyle->SetPathStyle (oArtHandle, &oPathStyle); However, on both sides of the line, I need to implement arrowheads and I could not find any information in the SDK documentation as to how to implement that! Can you please help? Thank youMusten Jiruwala

Hello there, I've had this problem for years on multiple accounts and computers.

I am having trouble with portions of white background not becoming transparent in Illustrator, I am placing a Photoshop .tif file into Illustrator, performing an image trace, mode color, white ignored.  View / show transparency eliminates most of the white background, but there are several enclosed areas (but not all) where the white remains.  Refer to the center of the letter ”O” in the attached file. Why does this happen? How to remove the remaining white areas in Illustrator?  The areas were all transparent in the original tif file in Photoshop. Thanks,  Joe

I am trying to make and A0 file into many A4 pages. I have done it before many times using the clipping mask but now its saying the object is too complex. Nothing has changed since I did it last time. I have tried making everything into a compound but that too isnt working. In the file are lines for the pattern, my logo which is a vector file and text. I have expanded the text and made it into a compound. The lines are different dot styles to show the different sizes of the garment.Once agian - all of this is the same as the file I used last time and didnt have any issues using the clipping mask to create the A4 pages. Help!

 running Outline Stroke on path creates holes in resulting filled path. What's infuriating, hole apperaring or not depends on objects position, ie move same path few inches to right and behaviour stops.Whats at play and how one can avoid this? An .ai file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0prhsvrwco46o0cs73uqf/outlineGlitch.ai?rlkey=i72r24o43vbeoo45llqgpvnyk&st=wddfgi98&dl=0

Hi,Is there a site that provides free scripts?Thanks.

I'm having a problem where I've opened up a .ai file I've been working on at school, and it has told me that the font is missing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the font on my computer multiple times to no avail. If I close the missing font warning and go into the file, the letters/words are highlighted pink to say the font can't be found. If I look at the font name in the drop down menu the font has an asterisk next to it. I can only guess that this also implies Illustrator cannot find the font. I've searched the forums and found someone had a simlilar problemback in 2012, apparently this was solved by someone who answered "It means it's not the font originally used and is being substituted for the original font."However, this isn't the case for my problem as it's definitely 100% the exact same font, and it is definitely 100% installed on my system.Can anyone help with this, or knows what the problem might be ?Cheers.

We're developing a CEP extensions which uses some events provided by the AIHostAdapter plugin (found here).We're managing to install the plugin fine on Mac just by dragging the zipped .aip file into the plugins directory. But doing the same on Windows doesn't seem to be working. When I unzip the zipped directory into the plugins directory, the AIHostAdapter.aip file appears as a directory, not as an .aip file like the rest of the plugins in the directory:This does not seem to be recognised by Illustrator when I open it up.I've tried keeping the zipped folder and renaming it back to have the .aip file extension, but that still doesn't seem to work: the structure of the directory obviously isn't right.So, questions: 1. What is the correct installation process for the AIHostAdapter plugin on Windows? 2. Is there any existing documentation on how this can be installed? 3. Is the Github version of the plugin linked above the correct version? 4. Is there any way

Is it possible to evolve an AI generated vector? After I generate an image, if I add a new text prompt, it deletes my image and creates something completly different. But I want to have a conversation with the AI and evolve the image. 

Hello, community. I was wondering if it's possible to create a script that would handle toggling Trim View on and off when run. I've run across the frequent need to turn Trim View on and off to preview my artboards in a more isolated environment, and I'd like to turn such a script into a button via my Scripts Manager to speed up my workflow. I'd appreciate any guidance on this! Thanks!
