Questions

 I am seeking clarification on several options within the Flare Tool in Adobe Illustrator. Specifically, I would like to understand the following features:1. **Halo Growth**: How is the growth of the halo specified as a percentage of the overall size?2. **Longest Ray**: How is the longest ray determined as a percentage of the average ray length?3. **Largest Ring**: How is the largest ring calculated as a percentage of the average ring size?Your assistance in providing detailed explanations or examples for these concepts would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your support. 

I am new to Illustrator and am experiencing a problem resizing an image.  I needed to convert a Photoshop .psd raster image to a vector image and then size to a 2.25” width. The psd file was 9.88 MB,  3913 x 4321, 13.0” x 14.4” @ 300 ppi.  The raster file was opened in Illustrator and image traced into a vector, creating an ai file 2.79 MB, image 13.0” x 14.4”. The image needed to be reduced to 2.25” wide.  So in the next step with rulers displayed the window was proportionally reduced to a 2.25” image width.  Saving this change resulted in an ai file with an image 2.375” x 2.5”, but now a whopping 33.0 MB.   Why did the file size increase almost twelvefold?  I thought in Illustrator file size was independent from image size.

Hello, I need to create a DXF file from a vector graphic. However, the result I get after exporting it is strange: When I view it in Illustrator, it looks fine, but when I view it in a CAD program, it only shows the outline of the letters.  

Hi,   When we open an .eps image (which is created in Inkscape application/software) in Adobe Illustrator, we found that some of the layers/elements missing. However, there is no any king of error thrown by Adobe Illustrator while opening the file.   We need your guidance on a couple of points.   Could you please check and let us know if there is any setting available in Adobe Illustrator which will throw an error regarding the missing layers/elements? How to work around in such cases?

Hello community,Is it posible to transfer presets (like export and import presets, shortcuts or working spaces...) from one computer to another one?  Thanks

Hallo zusammen,   kennt sich jemand mit dem Adobe Review Tool aus und weiß, ob es eine Möglichkeit für Reviewer gibt, dass Dokument bei der Prüfung zu drehen und auszudrucken? Ich konnte dazu bisher keine Auswahlmöglichkeit finden.

I previously had this setting in my other computer but now it's gone in my new laptop and its driving me nuts trying to find it! I was able to uncheck something which allowed me to draw new shapes using the pen tool and it automatically fills in the colour with the colour/properties of a previous shape I drew. So if I drew a pink circle and that circle is highlighted, I would go ahead and draw another one, that next one would be pink as well. Now with this default setting, I can only draw a circle with no fill no stroke, fill it in with a colour or stroke and while it's highlighted, I would drawn another circle but the properties would be the default setting, just the path with no colour no stroke.  Helppppppp!!!~~~

Is it possible to make sure that when you reopen the font list, the selected text is positioned not in the list of recently used fonts, but in the main list, as is implemented in Corel?

How do I change the default font in Illustrator CC?

Hello,I developped a script named Corius_MultiPDF-Exporter. I installed it in the illustrator preset/scripts folder and it is accessible in menu File>Scripts.I can record an action to launch this script, but it runs only if it's the first played step :- This record doesn't work and return a "The object <ScriptName> is not currently available" when getting to my script :RecordedActionSet    - play another recorder action set    - save document    - Corius_MultiPDF-Exporter  (recorded with "insert Menu Item")if I select the step calling my script and play it, then the script is launched without issue. If i change the steps order in this recorded action set and place the call to my script in first, the whole record set runs smoothly. But as soon as their is previous steps, the error object not currently available occurs.If I just remove the call to my script from the recorded action set, and play the set, then running my script fr

He estado teniendo un problema a la hora de guardar los archivos y no importa en la versión que tenga de Illustrator, ya que en cualquiera esto sucede, pero actualmente tengo la última versón del 28.6; la pantalla se pone totalmente negra y en la parte superior aparece (No responde), además, se tarda mucho en guardar, en varias ocasiones he tenido que cerrar el programa bruscamente porque se queda trabado. Esto pasa cada vez que guardo un archivo, no importa si tiene poco peso o mucho. Tengo una Microsoft Windows 10 con RAM de 64 e Illustrator se encuentra descargada en un disco con 953 GB libres. 

Hi I would like to make a music stave in a circle like the one below. Of course, I need to do the music score in another app so the typing tool won't work. I also need to make sure it doesnt warp the orginal score too much, so it's still readable! A break down of the steps would be MUCH appreciated thankyou. 

All I want to do is save vector logo files to my CC Library. I've dragged them into the library but when I go to use one and drag it out, it is an uneditable image instead of a vector. It will allow me to upload Illustrator files but it does the same thing and changes it to an image file. This makes no sense that you wouldn't be able to user vector files in Illustrator! Please help

hola...Cuando trabajo en Illustrator con archivos que tienen muchos vectores se vuelven muy lento la computadora a pesar que tengo recursos suficiente y no se utiliza todo el recurso con que dispone la PC. En el ejemplo del video, el proyecto .AI es de 500 px x 1000 px .. quiero mover el árbol de navidad de un lugar a otro, a diferentes posiciones y se dificulta .. el PC se vuelve lento... a pesar que los recursos son suficiente y de hecho sobran como se ve en el video..  no se si es un problema de configuración de Illustrator. Link Video >> La computadora cuenta con estos recursos: - Procesador: AMD RYZEN 7 (5800X 8-Core)- Aceleradora Gráfica: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 (12 GB)- Memoria: 64 GB -Kingston Fury Beast DDR4- (3000 MHz)- Disco: 2T - Corsair MP600 PRO LPX (7100 MB/s LECTURA - 6800 MB/s ESCRITURA)

Can I export the same artboard as PNG, horizontally and vertically, simultaneously?I need to export for Digital Led Screens, which usually have a 9:16 ratio, but some accept the file only exported horizontally (16:9). I tried rotating files on Preview (Mac), but the Digital Led Screen still doesn't accept them. They have to be exported initially horizontally from Adobe Illustrator.Rotating the artboards and artworks is quite a hassle because I have many artboards, so I was checking for a way to do this without much trouble.

I want the option to have one single line (not list) as an image name like "1. option bla-bla". There is no nest line here, "2. option bla-bla" is over the next image.How to avoid an enormous gap between a number and a text? it is not fixable in options. Why "+" at the start of the line become a bullet list uncompromisingly? If I choose "/" in the bullet list window then numbers or pluses disappear.  Give me permission to use them at the beginning of the line just as a normal symbol, not as a part of a bullet list.I'm crying.

I work in the Printing Industry and use Adobe Illustrator daily. Been using it since the early 90's. Why did you femove the check box and choice to "Apply to All" with linked files. Example: I have a layout sheet master with 75 Shelf Strips and I simply replace all the links with a different version from my support folder. In the past I was able to check the box and select "Apply to All" and they would all pop in when the file opens. Not now! I have to "Ignor All", select "Search for Missing Links In This Folder" and then replace each of them one by one by one by one by one by one!!! This is horrible and time consuming and in my opinion... broken. Please bring back the Apply to All function. Please fix this!

I have an adobe illustrator file that has a bunch of bitmaps that I am using. I recently re-opened the file and now I can no longer change the color of the bitmaps in the file. Image trace is not working because it is not giving an acurate depiction of a file that was once crisp and clean.  I can't find anything on the internet about this that is helpful. Has this every happened to anyone else?
