If I open an existing Illustrator file, the program freezes on a blank screen and nothing happens. I can open the program Illustrator, but if I wan't to open a file from there or create a new file, also here the program freezes . I use the most recent Illustrator version (28.6). I uninstalled and re-installed the program, but had exactly the same problem after that. I installed an older version (Illustrator 27.7), but also with that version the same problem appears. Yesterday everything worked fine, nothing changed on my computer since then (no updates, no crashes). Photoshop and Indesign are working fine. I use Windows 11.

Hi there, Ive been facing a "text import option" error on my ilkustrator file. I have seen a few post regarding that and they say its due to Device being closed while the file was saving. I have tried recvering it but i wasn able to. Is there any thing else i can do? Pleasee helppp

When I create a new action and input -0.11 in the offset path and save the action, when I load this action again, the offset -0.11 automatically changes to 0.11. How can I ensure that the negative value is preserved and does not change to a positive number? What can I do to resolve this?   I am using Illustrator CS6.   Thank you

Hi, I've just got a new PC at work and found user interface cannot be scaled. Under Preferences/User interface I cannot see an option for scaling.   I have a 4k monitor and windows is scalled to 150% in display preferences (by default / as recommended). However, I would like Illustrator icons to be a bit bigger, but I can't do this. Just by curiuosity I installed an older version of Illustrator (v.27.0) and that works fine and offers the scaling of the user interface. That made me realise this is a bug/missing feature in the latest Illustrator (28.7.1) that needs fixing.   I hope this info will reach them developers and sort this out ASAP. Thanks    

We are planning get a new M-type Apple machine for one of my colleagues. Top of the notch. It will be used for making escape plans in illustrator. We will recieve very high detailed drawings probably produced in autocad. They are usualy one layered documents with a huge amount of lines and hatches. Typically drawing of oil rig installations. Quite complex.   We need to remake them after a certain standard and make them readable and printabel before installation There will be no use of 3D effects or other resource demanding functions. What will be the appropriate RAM level with a brand new apple machine. I would guess somewhere between 32-64GB RAM. Would it be any point in getting more then this?Is it a limitation to how much RAM illustrator can accsess?Thanks for any feedback!    

My colors are all wrong in illustrator, and illustrator alone. Everything is fine in photoshop, however when i try to select 100% yellow in illustrator i get orange! its insane! and the worst part is that the colors are actually correct, its just how the interface of illustrator works. When I try to screen shot, then place the image in another app, the colors look fine. Not sure what to do, I've been messing with my color settings to see if that makes any difference, but nothing helps at all. It makes it impossible to use the program with color. Again, I don't have this problem with photoshop or acrobat, just illustrator. What is going on?

I was working on adobe illustrator, then went back 4 hours later to continue and it said my license had been suspended. It had given zero notice in advance that this was going to happen, no countdown no nothing, and this is unusual because my license was renewed fairly recently. My photoshop license was suspended too when I checked.

Whenever I make a sketch of anything for some reason it will automatically make circles and they will appear on my sketch. Im not sure how to disable it from doing that or what exactly is happenning.        {Renamed by MOD}

Hi community.  I want to make numbers rotating around a circular shape. I do it the classic way, but the orientation of the numbers are in a circular direction.  I want the numbers to be like in the example of the Tachymetre, which are sitting ( Like a clock/watch).And not on the side going around. I found a way to make this possible by going to the transform panel and setting it to 0, and doing it manually one by one which is a tedious process. So is there a faster method to achieve this? Thank you.  

Hello! I have a problem regarding Adobe Illustrator. I make a shape and after i save this document as png it shows me a white corner, and i can t remove from it. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hey everyone, I've been having this problem for a while now that I cannot find any information online about it.For some reason Illustrator will change the colours of an opened file at some random point while I have the file open and everything within the file will look like it's washed out or has some sort of grey overlay over it. Sometimes it'll only do it once a week or so, and sometimes the colour change is not as bad as other times, but it's still brutally annoying when I'm trying to export a file for a client. It's not just the swatches either, photos will become washed out as well.It isn't an RGB vs CMYK file issue as that setting never changes, this is happening while I'm in the middle of editing the file, adding text, drawing a box etc. I mostly am working on RGB files, and the file will never change from RGB.Illustrator will say the colour values are identical after the colour change but they obviously are not. When I do change the colour mode over the file ends up looking eve

I was trying to render this design in 3d inflate but then it came out with weird shapes like this. I don't have any layer that would create this though. I also have a problem where the render is supposed to look inflated but certain parts somehow looks deflated? Does anyone know what's the problem here?

Hi Folks,How to apply character direction to TextFrame characters like LEFT_TO_RIGHT_DIRECTION | RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION using extendscript.Thanks in advance 

Hello! In this example, I'm making a flyer with this coppery lettering. This is a 4 in by 8.5 in flyer and is not on a huge artboard. First I'm typing the words I want. Then I'm making outlines of the letters to make a shape, and I'm "Drawing inside the shape" to paste a high res image of a copper plate. I'm doing this for each letter shape, so I'm pasting in a large copper image 28 times. This file is almost 800MB! I feel like I'm taking a long way around doing something and causing a lot of heavy fuss. Can someone tell me what I should be doing instead to acheive this result with a more reasonable file size? Thank you!

Hi All, I have been struggling for a while to export 3D objects designed in illustrator to svg without loosing the edges. I think this has something to do with the shading ? I've attached the files to show what I mean.

Hi,What would be the best way to create an image like the one below in illustrator?Thank you

Hallo zusammen, ich (Gelegenheits-illustrator) möchte vier Zeichenflächen drucken, die einen gemeinsamen Hintergrund haben, damit man das Bild an der Wand zusammensetzen kann. Beim Druck werden die Texte und Rahmen jedoch nicht ausgegeben. Wenn ich die Farbe von ffffff auf etwas dunkleres ändere, dann wird es teilweise angezeigt. In der Druckvorschau zeigt er bei dem einen dann die Farben anders an, bei den anderen fehlt der Rahmen udn beim letzten hat er dann den Text, den ich grau gemacht habe, gedruckt, aber den weißen Text nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee? Danke schon mal und viele Grüße:)
