The Kurdish sun consists of 21 spikes, but I can't do this in Illustrator. The reason is that the program only allows 20 spikes, this limitation is unnecessary. I want it fixed

1. Quick access to the grid:Allow the grid to be activated directly from the main interface and to pesonalize the isometric grid or the classic grid , without having to navigate through the software settings or preferences. video demonstration 4  2. Management of multiple canvases:Not only allow multiple canvases to be displayed in the same workspace and make it easier to copy and paste one or more objects between canvases (something that is already present), but more importantly offer the ability to flip the canvas and rename the canvas name directly and immediately. video demonstration 3 3. Advanced snapping options (magnet/calamite).Provide more options for snapping functionality, such as:Snapping to objectsSnapping to the gridSnapping to guide linesSnapping to canvas edgesSnapping to distances and reference dimensionsSnapping to shapes and tangentsSnapping at pointsSnapping by collision and formationEnsure that these options can be used simultaneously without conflict, as

Why do I get the error "TextFrame is undefined" when for instance a shape selected? var doc = app.activeDocument; var textRef = doc.selection[0]; // assume text frame is selected alert(textRef.typename); if (!(textRef instanceof TextFrame)) { return; } 

In the document, the origin of coordinates corresponds to the upper left border of the artboard. That is, the coordinates increase vertically downwards and horizontally to the right. But when I place text in the specified coordinates, for example: textFrame.position = [100, 100];then the placed object has completely different coordinates than those I specified.How can I fix this?

Is there any script that can distribute various objects that will be printed to maximize space and have less waste? This is usually done in sewing software like Optitex which has a part for laying out the pieces but it's not in my budget to pay for another subscription.

Hallo zusammen, ich drucke mit dem Canon LBP633cdw meine Zeichnungen aus dem Illustrator aus. Ich erstelle hauptsächlich Decals.Als Zusatz habe ich mir den weißen Toner von Ghost gekauft. Mein Problem ist, dass die Farben nach dem Druck viel zu transparent sind. Beispiel:Blau wird auf einem roten Untergrund zu schwarz. Nun ist es ja so, dass ich den weißen Toner besitze. Ich habe gehört, dass man über Illustrator dafür sorgen kann, dass man die Zeichnungen mit Weiß unterlegen kann, damit die Farben sich auf dunklen Untergründen nicht verändern. Egal was ich tue, es klappt nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich das genau anstellen muss? Wichtig: Ich nutze Rub-On-Decals, weshalb der gesamte Druck immer spiegelverkehrt sein muss.  Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank im Voraus  

Can you please work on adding to the Global Edit feature so that you can global edit LIVE text so that you don't need to change the text to an outline object.This feature would be a game changer in the sense that I could work faster! I wouldn't need to select each text box on every artboard to edit.An example where I would use this gobal live text edit is for my tech pack pages. A style number is written on every artboard. I would then be able to make updates to the text box on just one page opposed to multiple pages.Thank you!

This is rectangle on which it is applied dash option [at images below].Question why at edges we do not have here full width/stroke of line [first image below]?When I select projecting cap it goes with full width but also little more above [second image below]? I noticed this through scripting  but anyone can answer this questoion.app.selection[0].strokeDashes = [12, 5]

Olá,estava utilizando o Illustrator para fazer uma identidade visual e quando tentei pegar o Conta gotas para pegar a cor da imagem,a ferramenta não funcionava,o que pode ser ?

When I do artwork on my computer and send the files to get printed by my print company, the prints are always a different color than it looks like the file im sending them. Slightly lighter/brighter.  When I print these colors myself at home they come out slightly darker from what I'm seeing on my screen. What is the best way to get the most accurate color of my artwork on my computer screen to come out the same in print? 

There is a text frame in a document. Whete each world is colored by a seprate color. I try to remove all the spaces in the frame but there is an error "No such element" on the line "var wordRange = textFrame.textRange.characters[charIndex];"var doc = app.activeDocument; var textFrame = doc.textFrames[0]; // assume text frame is present var contents = textFrame.contents; var words = contents.split(" "); var colors = []; var charIndex = 0; for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) { var wordLength = words[i].length; var wordRange = textFrame.textRange.characters[charIndex]; wordRange.length = wordLength; colors.push(wordRange.fillColor); charIndex += wordLength + 1; } var newContents = contents.replace(/\s+/g, ''); var newTextFrame = doc.textFrames.add(); newTextFrame.position = textFrame.position; newTextFrame.contents = newContents; charIndex = 0; for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) { var wordLength = words[i].length; var textRange = new

This issue has been plaguing me for a while now. It's occured across all versions of illustrator from roughly 2021 to 2024 and across different MacBook pro's, both M2 and M3. I have reached out to Adobe's technical team who could not offer me any assistance without a screen recording or remote access which I can't do on a company machine.The issue itself is pretty self explanatory: I have a simple object selected with any linear/radial gradient applied, I push G to bring up the gradient slider tool and it immediately sets my transparency to 0. The transparency shows up as being unedited on the transparency window, ie: it still reads as 100% or 50% or whatever it was, the but object itself is completely transparent. If I then try to manually change the transparency back to 100% nothing happens and illustrator seems to hang for a few seconds. I ususally have to undo 5 or 6 times to get back to a state where my object is back to it's previous tranparency setting. I believed it may ha

Olá amigos da comunidade de Illustrator. Estou com um problema, não consigo usar a função beta de Mockup (Objeto>Modelo(beta)>Criar), ao invés de aparecer "criar" aparecem outras opções "não clicáveis". Já tentei usar a versão beta do Illustrator mas seus recursos são muitos limitados. O que poderia estar acontecendo?

I have an image imported to Illustrator. Some of JPG files. Now I want to add to my image desaturation 100%.Scale of gray, you know what I mean.But I didn't see an option to edit that image.When I click this: http://prntscr.com/5kpc43 what means "Edit original", my image opens in... Microsoft Paint!There must be any option to do that in Illustrator. I can't do this in Photoshop because I would have to do all things from the beginning (scale, rotation, position etc).Please, help

Hello Adobe,I purchased my iPad specifically to use Adobe Illustrator, but I was shocked to discover that the iPad version does not support the Arabic language. This has completely halted my work, and I now realize that I spent a significant amount of money without being able to do anything with it.Support for RTL languages (such as Arabic, Persian, Urdu) is crucial for many creators. This issue has been raised for years, yet we still haven’t received any update or solution from your side.Could you please let us know if this support will be available soon? It would make a huge difference for the entire community of creators who rely on RTL languages.Thank you in advance for your attention.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts (in Illustrator) to change the transparency of an object? (as there are in Photoshop){Renamed by MOD}

Hi! I have to create 2000 postcards. Design is the same for all postcards, exept one small picture that on every postcard should be different (so each postcard becomes unique). It is like numbering each postcard, but with picture. Is there a way how to optimise adding those pictures to the postcard design? Not one by one all 2000 times, but using some shortcut automated technique? thanx, looking forward to suggestions 

Hello everyone, I'm working on my usual Illustrator layers and all of the sudden I can't select my guides? I was cutting them, moving them around, all good... guides are not blocked, they're not in a blocked layer, I can see them on my layers panel, I can add more, but I can't select them or move them anymore.

Hi team,I'm in the sports sublimation printing business and use Illustrator.  I need to print 170 vector designs onto sports shirts. I've prepared 1 file to be copied 20 times, and 2 others to be copied 5 times, adding up to approximately 98 meters of printing. The printing service I'm using is asking me to combine all these designs into a single file. I'm not sure how to create such a long file and I'm worried about losing print quality. Can anyone provide some guidance?

Just got a Macbook Pro M3 Max, with 48g ram. As other comments, Illustrator super slow/laggy, almost impossible to work. I have installed the latest version 28.7.1 and the 2023 27.0, they all have the same problem. I dont have any apps like Magnet installed. I have a second Dell 27in Premiercolor 2K monitor, the Typeface app, Whatsapp and Chrome. Please, what can I do??? I need to work...

I'm trying to recreate a design for a client which features a merged or blended blur like the image attached, does anyone know what would be the best way of doing this? Would it be easier using Photoshop? Any help would be appreciated, thank you! 

I've discovered a possible bug causing SVG exports containing Symbols to appear improperly on export.  https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/export-svg-changing-some-objects-black/m-p/12873021#M318050 I've closely followed the details in the link above, as the situation described by Liz_P8 is nearly identical to mine. I've followed Anshul_Saini's advice but the results are unchanged, regardless of the settings chosen in the export menu. The only solution I've found so far is expanding the appearance of the object and breaking the link to the symbol. I've also attempted to roll-back to an earlier version of Illustrator, v27.9.6 LTS, but the issue remains. Please advise, thank you!
