Questions

Hello,I've created some graphics using a perspective grid and I now want to change that grid by redefining the horizon points. However and although I get the mention that text and symbols attached to the plane will be extended nothing really moves, as though they are unattached. The objects definitely become unattached during the change of the grid, because if I then use the perspective selection tool to move them around they are reprojected on the selected planes, instead of just being scalable within the existing plane. Is this Illustrator's normal behaviour?And is therer a way I can change the grid that will automatically change my objects alongside it?

Why can't i chose the color of my gradient in the color picker of the tools bar, just like i do with the fill and stroke color?Why do i need to tell the gradient panel every damn time that my gradient is not black and white. Gradients are almost never black and white. Why don't we have a shortcut for the fill and stroke color picker tool, just like Photoshop? Or maybe a real color picker panel, not that stupid color panel that it have.Why don't we still don't have this?Why is the default tools shortcuts so nothing to do with anything?Why is it so hard to make a simple mask?Why is using the eyedropper not as simple as it should? (have to duble click in it every time and change its options)And, of course, this thing, EVERY. DAMN. TIME!I guarantee every person who uses this software wondered for a long time how to hide this in the first time this happened . Whyyyy so easy to show and so difficult to hide?Most of this problems you can solve it with options and with habits, i know, i know.

I'm trying to print a design from illustrator, and I keep getting a subscript "p" in the spaces between words. I don't have these in my original file. What's causing this and how do I remove them?

I found a thread where @Ton Frederiks mentioned a script for changing the weights of strokes having different original weights: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/is-there-a-way-to-increase-the-thickness-of-all-lines-in-a-group/td-p/13448305 But I'm having trouble using the script. I pasted it into a .txt file, changed the extension to .jsx, and tried opening it in AI (File>Scripts>Other Script...), but I got an error message that said: Error 1302: No such elementLine: 2->  var aDoc = app.activeDocument; I also tried it as a .js file. I've attached the original .txt file (I think). Any clues as to what's going wrong here?

I am trying to create a shadow effect on the accompanying text and photo.  The text is fine but I can't get the shadow to line up correctly.

Trying to write a script to converts brushstrokes to paths with variable width. But I cannot seem to access the variable width properties of a stroke or path points. Is it possible? 

new actions are not saving.  my illustrator is up to date.   i create new actions and they do not save in illustrator folder.  it will act like it saves but it will not . it will let me save on my desktop and  then copy them into the illustrator folder.  i can then load them and it will be fine...i can use as normal but when illustrator quits or starts over they will erase. also when i make adjustments to existing actions  those changes also also do not save and erase.  i dunno if it has to do with  the fact that they contain scripts.  anyone else having this issue? anyone know of maybe a plugin or a script that we can place all actions in and run them just like plugins/extension that run scripts such as jsx launcher  or script panel?

Hello. Have tried to resolve this with Adbobe support who were useless and insisteed on wanting remote access to my work laptop. In Illustrator 2022 - if I select a rectangle that is clipping a photograph, the dimesnions in the info panel are incorrect and show the dimesnions of the placed photograph, not the bounding box. The dimensions in the 'properties' panel are correct.  Have tried resetting the preferences and restarting my machine, as per adobe support suggestions - but the issue is still there. How can I get these two dimensions to be consistent.  Thanks.

All of them were asked to sign in!  But the help page says:Review the documentIf you are a stakeholder, you can add comments to the link shared with you on any device. For a public link, you don't need an Adobe ID to add comments. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there,I have an issue with the showing of edges in Illustrator CC 2018, latest version. I recently did a clean windows installation, and after that the following "error" occurred; the edges of my elements won't show, no matter what I try. I've googled a lot, and searched around for a solution. The solutions that I came across did not do the trick. These are the things I've already tried:• Obviously try the option "hide or show edges".• Update my GPU drivers, they are up to date.• Toggle between GPU and CPU preview.• Renamed my preferences folder, with no effect to the problem.• Checked the option "show Anchor points with selection and shapebuilder tool", wich is turned on.I think it's a problem because of the clean windows install, after wich I did re-install the Adobe apps on a faster harddrive. I can't figure out the problem any further by myself, your help of suggestions will be much appreciated !My hardware on wich I'm running the software:Intel i716 gb RAMNvidia GT1070 8GBWindo

Let´s say I make a file with 3 artboards and save as a PDF. If I open the file in Acrobat Pro and split the file into 3 separate artboards (pages), these files look as desired in Acrobat Pro (1 page/file). But if I open any of these one page documents in Illustrator, all 3 artboards are still there. How do I prevent the deleted pages from showing in Illustrator after the file is split in Acrobat?

Hi designers,I'm currently working on event collateral in both English and Spanish using Adobe Illustrator. I'm encountering an issue with the Glyphs window: when I open it to access accent characters, it doesn't fully load. I can't see any of the characters, and it won't allow me to insert them into my textbox.I'm using Adobe Illustrator Beta 2023 on a MacBook Pro M2. Despite trying to resolve this issue by uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator, I haven't been able to find a solution. (See attached image for reference) Does anyone have a solution or suggestion to help me address this problem? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I'm trying to load an SVG file in Illustrator, but I get an error dialog that "The followimg items could not be imported properly" and in the box below "Clipping will be lost on roundtrip to Tiny". Okay, fine, I can deal with whatever that means. Font issues, no big deal. The problem is that the AI interface now refuses to respond. I click on the "OK" button in the dialog, and nothing happens. I cmnd-Q to quit the app, and nothing happens. So now it's a Force Quit and don't try to open that file (or any other SVG?) again? Advice appreciated.

As it was possible to gain access to the indesign beta on Snapdragon X Chips (Copilot + PCs) via the support, I would like to know if it is possible to also get access to the Illustrator Beta as well.

I have element in library, for example rectangle filled with color, then I drop this rectangle to the illustrator work zone, then I combining this element with other vector element (not from library), and drag and drop that new element to the library. So, now I have 2 elements in library, one is rectangle filled with color, (library element 1) and icon ((library element 2) which is included (library element 1) .When I am updating element 1, element 2 is not updating automatically, I need to open it and press save.  If I have 100 icons based on that rectangle filled with color (element 1) how to update them automaticaly wihtout oppening one by one? Logically if I update element 1, so all other elemtns inlcuded that element 1 must be updated as well.

How do I save as, or export as a Legacy CC file from an illustrator 2024 version? I need to open an Illustrator 2024 file in a much much earlier version.  I see no version box in save as, or export as. If I save as a pdf file I will lose any swatches created in the swatch pallettes.

Hi Everyone,When I apply a dropshadow to the blue shape this is happening. Has anyone experienced this before? 

I do not remember whether I asked this question before but I couldn't find a one in archives. Is there any  thired party app work with Ai that can make Ai File content visible in Window Explorer like PSD?   

I've watched tutorials on YT on this but still get the results shown here. They are not Compound Paths and I've tried each stroke Grouped and Ungrouped. Why is there not a smooth transition using Specified Steps? I also can't find any stray or duplicated points.
