Questions

When I export artwork as an SVG, the Os (circles) within the text are misaligned and filled incorrectly (see attached). I converted the type to shapes before exporting. Same problem. Any ideas?

Does anybody know if it is possible to make a basic production file like this where the size is dependent on an 'x'Say the distance between the horizontal lines is 'x'The height of the pink box needs to be (3*x)+1)For everytime I would start a new production file I would open this template file and change the value for 'x'.Same goes for the length of the lines (say 'y') in relation to the length of the pink box. ('y'+1,25 in)Hope someone knows this.Best regards, Ron

Does anyone have any idea why when I run the following java script my resulting DXF file is the wrong scale? If I do the process manually I get the correct result. Thanks very much  // Define the folder containing the SVG filesvar folderPath = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder with SVG files");// Check if the folder is validif (folderPath != null) {// Get all SVG files in the foldervar svgFiles = folderPath.getFiles("*.svg");// Loop through each SVG filefor (var i = 0; i < svgFiles.length; i++) {var svgFile = svgFiles[i];// Open the SVG filevar activeDoc = app.open(svgFile);// Select all objects in the active documentactiveDoc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();// Set the name for the DXF file (same as the SVG file, but with .dxf extension)var dxfFileName = svgFile.name.replace(".svg", ".dxf");var dxfFilePath = folderPath.fsName + "/" + dxfFileName;// Set the export options for DXFvar dxfOptions = new ExportOptionsAutoCAD();dxfOptions.exportFileFormat = AutoCADExportFile

Sorry if this has been answered but i'm not sure how to search this.  I'll try to explain. Please excuse my terminology.I am trying to recreate the attached (blue) long rectangle . Sorry about the bad quality.Imagine a long horizontal rectangle shape with a gradient on one end at 100% fill opacity and the other 0% opacity. Now, at points along the way i want to create uniform spaced out (Masks) which "cut out" sections of the rectangle. I have found ways to do this but the problem is when i follow the options i've found the gradient starts and stops with each and every mask cutout. I need the gradient to stay consistant from one end to the other and not be effected by the cutouts/masks. I was able to get this to work using the transparency mask but i'm not sure how to do this and keep a identical size consistant distribution of cutout/masks (ex. a 1inch mask every other 1inch over a 5 inch length of the rectangle).  I just added a Yellow gradient example (highe

It happens with the latest versions (currently 28.1). After throwing that error, it closes completely. I have tried to go back to previous versions but I get other types of errors.

What's the shortcut for Edit Contents in Object > Envelope Distort? There use to be one. I'm talking about editing an image that's aready in Envelope Destort. The same shortcaut used to end the Edit Content, when done with the revisions. Thanks.

This same problem happened several versions back. It's back in this new version. All the layer names have x5F added in the svg code on export svg. Like, <svg id="medal_x5F_icon".   Search and replace is an easy fix, but hopfully the next version fixes it again.   Thanks Chris

Hello, my workflow for my current job is to first save as an AI file, and then save as jpg file.Everytime I save a jpg, I have to go through a dialogue box. I'd specifically like to automate the Exporting As a jpg file. 1. On Export As, I always check the box "Use Artboards"2. Dialogue Box:3. I always save the jpg to my current folder that the AI file is already saved in.Is there a way for a script to automate these exact Export As settings, saved in the current folder, as the same/current file name?

Using Illustrator version 28.7.1...  I am working on a document from approx. 1-1/2 years ago that I created and saved.  Trying to work with it today, the type Glyph choices (that were saved 1-1/2 years ago, using a font that owned then, and that I still own) do show up.  But, when you attempt to select the glyph of your choice by double-clicking on it, Illustrator will not allow the change to be made; in fact, nothing happens.  I did check the Glyph window, and "Alternates for current selection" is chosen, as per a suggestion that I saw from the Adobe Community.   I also checked my Illustrator -> Preferences -> Type, and the box for "enable missing glyph protection" is checked, which was also a suggestion from the Adobe Community.   In case it matters, the font is called "Balford Shadow", and was purchased from "My Fonts".  I don't understand why I was able to save this project with the desired glyphs intact 1-1/2 years ago, but today when I ope

I've tried a few methods to cut this shape so the gradient mesh grid follows the shape (the blank line in the middle is just the path I want the gradient mesh grid to follow) but I've had no success ?

It was not possible to call one script from another in Illustrator. The solutions I found do not work. 1) this solution gives an error  #include "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\en_US\Scripts\anotherscript.jsx"    2) and this one seems do nothing  var f = new File("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\en_US\Scripts\anotherscript.jsx"); f.execute();    What other ways are there?  

Ciao a tutti! chiedo il vostro aiuto, inquanto aggiornado all'ultima versione di illustrator, e non dando l'autorizzazione favorevole a  trovare altri dispositivi in rete, il plug in macsign non riconosce il plotter da taglio summa. cosa devo fare?  

I've been trying to distort my text into this saxophone silhouette I've created using the pen tool. And yes, the object ive drawn is on top, text is below. I've tried making the text into outlines and it still does the same thing. I've tried flipping the silhouette object and still nothing. It keeps doing this, compeltely illegible; I've even tried doing a more simple silhouette and nothing.  

This is the glitch which is happening in illustrator to me when ever I enter the presentation mode and then exit it and also I am unable to use the particular art board in full mode individually.

I am having this issue for a long time where my materials are not showing and keeps infinitely loading in the 3d panel. check the attached image. (It may be because of the materials i downloaded from the substance 3d materials library. And now they are on the cloud interfering with the files maybe?). Please guide me how to resolve the problem.Thanks  

Hi there, I am trying to draw a curve use a pattern brush but I want to maintain the shape of the pattern brush. here is an example: Here is the pattern: iHere is what it looks like when drawn using a line:So far so good. Here is what it looks like if I bend the line:As you can see, the oval on top is reshaped. But what I want is to maintain the shape, so that it looks like:As you can see, the top one did not retain the original shape. What I really want is like this: I can draw them separately (2 chain on the side and 1 oval on the top) but that has its own issues.1. The size might be uneven (as you can see, the top oval on the image above is slighly different).2. It makes changing color and other steps a bit cumbersome.  Is there a way to achive this with a single line? I played around with the "fit" settings in the pattern brush options but didn't find anything that could help. If someone has an idea how to fix this or how to make this process easi

When exporting PNG files from 'Asset Export' in Illustrator and importing the file into Acrobat PDF, a dark blue-grey background appears for no reason. There is no background around the graphic in Illustrator, and none when viewing in any other app or preview.  It only shows up when importing the PNG to Acrobat.   I've never had an issue with any file format exported from this panel until now. If anyone has encountered this before and can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.  Here's an example of what I'm seeing on my end. 

Dear team, I am requesting a script that allows for text content searches. For example, I want to search for the word "Hello world" within a document, regardless of font type or size. Thank you very much.

Hi Adobe Support,6 month ago, I created a 2 color logo in Ill. 2019. For both colors I created a CMYK swatch which has the correct color values. My color profile is ISo coated v2. After upgrading Illustrator to 2020 I opend the file and it told me that the assigned color profile now is US Web coated. I have 3 choices to proceed. If I choose to change colors into my normal ISO coated v2 profile, Illustrator changes the swatch color values from 100/0/100/15 to 97/1,37/92,25/4,8. Why would the color swatch value change if the color profiles (both CMYK) change? Any Ideas?Kind regards, Katja

I am wondering why illustrator is working so extremely slow? I´m spending more time on trying to fix this problem (that by the way has not been solved by looking at the community questions and answers in this forum) than i am spending doing actually work. I am working on a Macbook pro (16 gb RAM 2,5 gb hertz), and currently on a quite small file - but it still takes like 30 seconds to do one single tiny move. Please help me with this, as I am paying good money for actually being able to use this program!

Anytime I try to change or add a format, I try to type in any of the fields, scale, suffix, or format, Illustrator crashes. There are no workarounds I've found and this has been happening for a few versions now.

As you can see, I have drawns some objects that I need to edit.  Every time I click into the workspace to edit, I get the X and entire box is selected.  I can't get back within the drawing to fix (fill in the pants, delete extra shapes, etc.). This is probably my 4th day of AI.  Thank you for your hlep.
