Questions

Hi!I want to release objects from a pattern (swatch filled), and I have tried to follow recomended steps: See the image where I show how I proceeded.The problem is that all the objects released from the pattern are layered multiple times on top of each other. This creates a lot of extra work for me. I need to create many patterns that will also need to be released as single objects, so I hope someone can help me with this!

 Hi I want to know how can I draw a wavy line is illustrator which looks like a handdrawn line (drawn in architectural sketches similar to the image attached) but  the ridges should not be consistent. I learned about the zig zag smooth option in distort mode. But it makes the line curvy with consistent ridges which is more proper curvy. Can someone pls tell how can i achieve those sketchy lines... thank you

I'm working on a custom logo and I need to try to match the style of the text in this logo (just the text, not the rainbow):I've tried many combinations of drop shadows, glows, and 3d text but I can't get it looking right. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Why do this TYPE is called OBJECT LEVEL? 

There are four rectangles in the document. All of them have no fill AND no stroke. When I try to delete them all based on this condition, I get that only two of them are deleted. I expected all of them to be deleted. What is the problem?    var doc = app.activeDocument; processItems(doc.pageItems); function hasNoFillAndStroke(item) { return !item.filled && !item.stroked; } function processItems(items) { for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { var item = items[i]; if (hasNoFillAndStroke(item)) { alert(item.typename); item.remove(); } } }   

Mam problem z zapisywaniem pliku w adobe illustrator 2025.Opcja "zapisz jako", oraz "zapisz" nie reagują - nie dzieje się zupełnie nic - nie wyświetla się żadne okno dialogowe. Jedyną opcją jest zamknąć bierzący dokument i skorzystać z opcji "zapisz", bardzo to utrudnia prace i nie daje możliwości zapisywania postępów w pracy. Odinstalowanie illustratora i zainstalowanie na nowo nic nie dało. Proszę o pomocWindows 11 (zaktualizowany)Illustrator 2025 - najnowsza wersja

I just installed the latest version of Adobe Illustrator.  However, when I save the file, the [Save, Save as] dialogue box is blank.  How do I fix it?  Thanks!David L

The pink box on the lower right part of the image, it's part of some frame but it's still there even if the frame is not shown.

Hi,I have a function for grouping and scaling up visible objects, for exporting in higher resolution then I work on. It works fine with everything except live paint objects which I have to rely on. The object is scaled but the stroke width remains the same. Here is the part of the function:var factor = 600; selected.resize(factor, factor, true, true, true, true, factor); Any one has an idea of how I can solve this? Maybe find the live paint object within the group and adjust the stroke? The probelm is that there is nothing in the api about the live paint...

Ever since the latest update (I think was last week) whenever I open a file from my folders tab or Bridge, Illustrator opens a new instance. I wasn't used to do this. I run it on an updated Windows 11. 

My variable width profile is not working. While using the brush tool in Illustrator, the width line won't vary. It always appears uniform. Please help!   [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum... Mod][To find a forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/]

I have a 2020 MAc book Pro and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. I´m working with Illustrator 2020. A few days ago I started experiencing a very annoying problem while working on AI, the artboard suddenly moves (as if I were using the panning tool) to one of the sides or across, it moves slowly and I can´t do anything until it stops moving by itself, it is now happening very often which makes me lose a lot of work time. I thought it may be something with the Tablet so I uninstalled averything and re installed, but it keeps happening. I just upgraded my OS to Big Sur and it didnt fix anything. Driving me crazy! It happens with any sized files, even whith very simple small ones.

I have an image that I'm wanting to make a traceable pattern.  So I'm hoping to convert it to some black outlines.  Can someone walk me through how to do that?I've attached the image for reference

How would I recreate something like this image (sans Zebra)?

When using the shape tool I keep getting what looks like the Direct Selection tool instead of the cross that I used to get. Need to know how to switch it back if possible. Thanks

It has only been more that 3 DECADES for this error. If the bits in question are vanishly small, who cares, just delete them! This error comes up here frequently when we are scaling art to send to the proofer. There is no weay around it other that rasterizing the file which is not really an option either. We recieve lots of art that has been vectorized, & virtually every one has something vanishingly small.

Greetings: I am writing to you because when using ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud I get this error using the latest version of Illustrator and I would like to know how to solve it. Thank you all for your attention.   Luis M

I am a new user to pattern brushes.  I have used a pre-loaded brush that uses a colored circle for the pattern.  I'd like to change the color of the circle, so I double click the brush pattern in the Brushes window to get the "Pattern Brush Options".  There is the colorization area, but I cannot figure out how to change the key color.  Help tells me to select the eyedropper and change the color, but I can't get it to do ANYTHING.  What am I missing here?

I just updated to Illustrator 27.5 and it won't open at all. I get a dialog box that says Illustrator only has "read" permission and needs "read/write" I click ok, then nothing happens and I have to force quit. I'm on a new Macbook Air running Ventura. Anyone have same issue/a solution? Thanks
