I am a long time Illustrator user but am just using mesh tool for the first time. I get how to create the mesh, and add color to it, but I'd now like to add a stroke color to the mesh lines themselves. Is this possible? Here is where I am - color added, mesh lines highlighted, but I'd like to have a stroke width and stroke color applied to the mesh lines.

Hi, I am a total beginner here, I am looking to use the background of a painting for my logo and then the colour on the figure for my text. It's quite a simple logo, just the background and then some text but I have no idea where to start or how to do this and quite lost.  Would appreciate if anyone can advise on how to go about this?  Thanks! Michelle 

BUG ALERT? Cannot manually drag from finder into an existing document, it automatically opens the jpg image in a new document and renders it at 12% of actual size (every time). Nothing wrong with images, they are basic JPG b&w scans I made from my canoscan LIDE 400. Some of the scanned JPGs work fine (about 1/3rd of them. ) even though I have scanned them all using the exact same settings and methods.  This started after updating to latest Ai 28.1 Using ventura 13.6.1 Mac studio M1 chip. 32 G ramAttempt to drag or place some files results in this error message (attached) 

Ayuda, quiero dejar de pagar esta estafa. Los precios subieron mucho y no quiero seguir pagando illustrator. Estos estafadores escondieron el boton de cancelar suscripcion, para que uno se vea obligado a pagar.  Que hay que hacer para anular suscripcion??? Ya intenté todo lo obvio.

Mac StudioChip - Apple M1 MaxMac OS Version 14.3.1 (23D60) Illustrator version 28.3 Help would be much appreciated.  

I've never had an issue working in Illustrator like this before, I have Illustrator 28.5, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1: Usually when I group items together, I'm able to scale them proportionally when I’m using Selection Tool (V) and clicking Shift to scale, or I would make the entire thing smaller proportionally by using Option+Shift to scale from both sides at once. Now, I’m in Illustrator and my items are grouped, but the font boxes are just pushing into each other in a weird way that makes no sense rather than scaling together.  I saw feedback on some other posts to reset their preferences, and I already did that and restarted. I also tried to turn off smart scaling, and nothing changed. I also have my bounding box on. Here's some screenshots of what's happening when I try to scale either of those ways I listed above while these are grouped  

I worked on my file, when editing versions suddenly my file filled all colorshapes with black, (even placed logos). Outline/Preview is not the case, i cant go back. is all my work lost? I cant find this issue on the Net. thankful for any inputhere how it was:And this is what it turned into: 

Helloo.Whenever i creare a new file its freeze. After some time its not responding.. 

I'm new to Illustrator and I've managed to learn quite a bit but I've been having trouble with an effect that I'm trying to do on the letter "S", which is like a blackhole sucking/pulling effect where the letter stretches and shrinks at the same time. What I have so far is pretty bad:All I've been using is curvature pen to get the rounded stretched lines to the left, and pen to connect a small area where I use gradient to gradually change colours from orange to black the further the letter gets stretched and I use scissors to cut some of the black outline out. I don't know if there's other tools I can learn to get a much better result or if it's just about practice since I can't find any references of anything similar so far. 

Hi, I updated AI. 2 days ago and I can't open it.It says something about some plugins... but I haven´t done anything different.  SOS!!!!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to convert a .psd file made up of layers with a vector mask (and shape drawn with the pen tool) to an Illustrator file with vector layers? Thanks very much! 

Hi all! I'm working with a brand that already has assets in their brand guidelines with the style below. I'm not sure how to make more icons for them, because I'm not sure how the original artist made these files. Can someone walk me through how to create these types of images:(One tone, halftone pixelation?) I'm not entirely sure.

I watched the videos and when I try to generate my iamge it still looks horrible, no matter what I do, any  suggestions?

I have created a safety label in Illustrator that needs to be printed in house on a label machine. I need to determine the exact dimentions on the shape to determine a die cut label size to feed stock through the printer. The shape must remain triangular with no white border. How to I determine size of actual triangle shape not the bounding box?  Can I make a triangular artboard? Not sure what to do any help is appreciated. Thank you! 

For a few months now, my control panel has been cut off when I have it docked to the top or the bottom of the screen:In the image above it is docked to the top.  You can see slivers of it and I can left-click the drop down menu on the right that lets me choose what shows in the control panel.  It looks almost as if it is behind another window, but I can't figure out how to fix it.  In this image it is docked to the bottom - and we can still see only slivers of the control panel.  If I pull it out so it is not docked to either the top or bottom, I'm able to see the whole control panel:I've been making this work for a few months now and it's getting annoying having it floating above my artboard.  I've tried uninstalling AI and then reinstalling and it didn't fix the problem.  Any suggestions on what else I can try?  It doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem.

Recently this started happening: I open Illustrator and open a file (either from recents or through the File > Open menu). It looks like it's opening the file. Heck, sometimes it even flashes the illustration for half a second, and then... nothing. See video.Same thing with the Beta version which leads me to believe is has to do with the videodrivers. So I tried both Gamer version as 'Stable' version. No difference. Sometimes rebooting helps, but my workflow is so 'complicated' that rebooting really gets me out of the flow. Anyone else has this problem. Or rather, has the solution? EDITI also get this error every now and then. Might this be related? updateI was able to open the file in the web version of Illustrator. Not ideal, but I needed to get my work done. I'm looking at Affinity Designer for a future solution.

Hello! And Thank you in advance ❤️ I am using multiple paths to combine and create a shape that I would like to fill. What is happening is there is a break in the object that is causing the fill to be along the perimeter of the form, not within it. I realize this is due to there being breaks in the path that I'm not seeing yet.  What I would like to know is, how to detect where the incongruencies are in the path without manually having to do so. And also, what is a "proper" set of steps to combine the paths to create a form and then fill it? Thank you!Leah

Hi there,  I have a PNG image from the internet (an iPhone case) which I need to turn transparent. So essentially the iPhone case is empty/transparent but the background is still there. This is for a third-party app on Shopify where customers can attach their own image to products such as an iPhone case, and the empty/transparent phone case will be filled by the customers image attached. Please let me know if I need to explain further.  Thanks in advance!
