Questions

Dear Adobe Community,I’m encountering an issue in Adobe Illustrator where one of my objects has an X mark on it. I’m aware that X marks typically appear on linked objects or images, but in my case, the object is neither. Could anyone help me understand why this might be happening and how I can resolve it?Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone.Layers Panel Options which control how the layer panel function, is there way to lock the setting? I normally only need to see "Show layer only" and Thumbnails Top Level only, but it keep going back to show all layrers that I do not need to see.Even same files previously set to Layer - Top Level Only, it keeps going back to default. It would be great if you could teach me how to lock this.Thank you in advance for your help.

To change current documet units I use this:  function setUnits() { var units = 5; //(0 to 6) app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("rulerType", units); } When I say "current documet units" I mean the units of measurement in the transformation window and on the ruler. However, in order to “see” the new units of measurement, you need to create a new document. How can I make these changes appear in the current document?

I'm busy creating a logo using a combination of text (created with the text tool) and shapes (created with the pen tool).When I put a stroke on said logo the outlines of each shape become visible.I would like the stoke to be applied to the logo as a whole and not to each element.How should I combine the text and shapes so that Illustrator sees it as one shape/image/thing?Thanks in advance

Hello,how do I resize a graph? From what I can see, I can only set its size when I create it?I guess I could Transform > Scale an existing graph - but I'd rather set a fixed width and height so I can keep the proportions right for when I import the graph into InDesign.Thanks!

I'm using an Mac M1 Macbook Pro, previously using Sonoma, now upadated to Sequoia in the hope it would resolve the issue that Illustrator is eating up application memory. AS you can see from the screenshot, with no files currently open, it's using over 30gb which is causing it to slow down or crash. Anyone else having this issue or know how to resolve it? It's giving me a massive headache. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I bought my used iMac in a few months ago and I have to use Adobe Illustrator for school, but then i tried to open it, it said that i have to change it to read and write, but then when i tried to change it here was a text about something that i do not have permission to change that and i have to ask the user before me. What should i do?thanks in advance:)

Hi all, Recently, I've been facing a problem with a very simple feature in illustrator. Just for for example: in the colour picker, if I change the shade of magenta from 60% to 70% – either scolling the colour bar or typing the number, it doesn't matter, ok? –, Illustrator doesn't apply the colour change result autommatically in the object anymore. I have to press 'Enter' every time to have the result made, which has been making me waste time while working.Does someone know how to fix it?Thank you Best Regards, Elmo Rosa

i'm making some simple labels and i want them numbered example: "1. item one" but i just want to type the numbers in myself as i want to treat them as separate textframes, but whenever i type in "1." it turns it into a numbered list. it is really annoying. anyway to stop this? [renamed by mod]

Yo he pensado que la herramienta de Dimension en Illustrator para los numeros verticales se deberia poder visualizad de forma horizontal de tal manero como lo muestro en ese ejemplo, y no ser como esta el numero 70 vertical, espero este comentario sea leido o agregar una opcion que uno pueda decidir si el numero se gira o no 

I have some stroked circles that I've added the roughen effect to, but when I expand the appearance of them, they become compound paths instead of the lines that they were. My steps are Object > Expand Appearance (Expand is greyed out). I don't remember expanding roughened lines ever creating filled shapes. I swear expanding created lines with anchor points. This feels like it came about the same time as another bug that I'll post separately for. Here is an example:

After two updates ago, I noticed that using the Eyedropper tool to get fills and gradients will take it from the donor element, but it places the fill below the Contents layer in the Appearance Panel, making it seem that the Eyedropper tool is not working. I believe this is a bug, as it only began this behavior after an update about a month ago.Here is a screenshot of the behavior after using Eyedropper tool to apply the orange gradient to the black circles: 

Using a macbookpro, OS 12.5, M1 chip, 16GB memory I am now working on an illustrated book. About 45 pages (artboards) in all. Each page has an illustration that fills the artboard. Each original artwork (in psd format) is about 30Mb but they are linked into the AI file, not embedded. Everything worked smoothly and quickly under AI 2023 but after AI automatically upgraded to 2024, I often get the spinning color wheel when I try to navigate among the artboards. To open the file takes 60 seconds, and to save the file take several minutes. Can anyone suggest how I can speed things up? Is there a way to revert to using AI 2023? I don’t find version 2023 in my Applications folder anymore. Just 2024

Hi. Is it possible to use a wacom tablet with illustrator and get pressure sensitivity without having windows ink in enabled in the wacom drivers?Windows ink is driving me crazy. In Photoshop you can still use pressure sensitivity if you add a user config file like this:1. Create a file that contains instructions to revert to the WinTab functionality.2. Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad. Type in the following lines:# Use WinTabUseSystemStylus 0 3. Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt4. Put (copy) the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings\5. Restart Photoshop and check the pen pressure and overall performance.I have tried to google for a similar solution for Adobe Illustrator but nothing came up. Does anyone know?
