Olá pessoal, de vez em quando acontece uma situação nos computadores onde trabalho, que é basicamente conseguir abrir duas instâncias do Illustrator, mesmo tendo apenas uma versão instalada. Para contextualizar melhor, sabemos que tendo apenas uma versão instalada, é possível abrir apenas uma instância do Illustrator e nessa instância, trabalhar com múltiplas janelas e arquivos dentro dele. Mas de vez em quando de forma não proposital, conseguimos abrir duas instâncias do mesmo Illustrator. Durante algumas exportações de arquivos que desenvolvemos, o Illustrator passa longos períodos processando e impedindo a interação com outras janelas e arquivos abertos para desenvolver outros trabalhos - principalmente exportando ativos em várias camadas ou exportação de múltiplas pranchetas. A minha necessidade é em saber como abrir duas instâncias do mesmo Illustrator propositalmente, como no print anexado.  Notem que são dois Illustrator abertos, e não duas janelas no me

Hello,We are considering switching to a business account so that each of our design team member can have their access.But we also would love to use the Share link for review for internal and external review process.The question is:Let's say we have 3 users on the business account.User 1 creates a document "painting.ai" , saves it on the cloud storage and invite user2 and user3 to work on the document.User1 creates a link for review using the "share" button on top right.The client gives feedback.If User3 then open the "painting.ai" document from the cloud storage, will they see the comments from the client?User3 does the modifications, then click on share, will they be able to use the "update content" feature to update the artwork on the review link? Or will it generate a new link because it's a different user?

What measurements do I start with for end result enlargement 43ft 4inches wide by 8ft 8 inches tallI am creating an illustrator file for a mural so that's why it's so big. thank you D

Hello. It really seems as if there is a fundamental problem with 'smart guides.' Why is Adobe not dealing with it? It's something pretty important to any graphic package. No matter what I do, no matter how many similar articles I read- none will take me away from a seemingly default 45 degrees. I've read more posts than I care to count and the fact that so many have the same problem suggests that something is really wrong with this programme.Can anyone suggest any alternatives? I remember this programme from years back- it was more basic but it worked.

The script does not process all visible and unlocked items in the document. is it because of the duplicates? Objective:The working script should duplicate items with fills, remove their strokes, and delete the original items' fills. After processing, the script should:1. Duplicate match item (change fills, strokes).2.  Create three layers named fills, strokes, and both.3. Move items to the corresponding layers.4. Remove any empty layers to clean up.Problem:Not all items are being processed correctly, and it is unclear why. Illustrator Script: function processItems() {app.activeDocument.selection = null;var doc = app.activeDocument;var items = doc.pageItems;// Duplicate and process itemsfor (var i = items.length -1; i > 0 ; i--) {var item = items[i];if (item.visible && !item.locked && item.filled) {var copiedItem = item.duplicate();copiedItem.stroked = false;item.filled = false;copiedItem.move(item, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);}}var layers = doc.l

I'm using a wacom tablet with a touch ring set to zoom. When drawing with a brush and zooming in or out, I get the annoying smooth tool pop up.  This is because the smooth tool shortcut is alt, and the zoom shortcut for my touch ring uses alt.  How do I get rid of this pop up?

My selection tool does not allow me to enlarge the item.The usual "corner boxes" to grab and drag to proper size do not appear.

Where is this line connected to?I can't get it away.

Hi, I was wondering, is there a way we could import a finished label, and have generative fill or firefly help with upgrading and creating a new one with one of those features? Any suggestions?

Adobe Illustrator:  I HATE YOU.  Why do you have to make changes that require us to go through "training" for hours so you can "fix" something that was never broken in the first place?  Stop making the use of your product more difficult and time consuming.  You are turning more people against you than you are gaining.  I am looking for an easy to use program and will discontinue my paid subscription as soon as I do.  YOU SUCK

Hello:) i was trying to find something which will help me to Ungroup everything from selection to be able to add it on Action. I cant use normal ungroup becuase if i use it few times (in case there is more groups in selection) then script is stopping becuase there are no groups. So i tried script like this:var doc;function getChildAll(obj) {var childsArr = [];for (var i = 0; i < obj.pageItems.length; i++) {childsArr.push(obj.pageItems[i]);}return childsArr;}function ungroupSelection() {var selection = doc.selection;for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {var item = selection[i];if (item.typename == "GroupItem") {var elements = getChildAll(item);for (var j = 0; j < elements.length; j++) {elements[j].moveBefore(item);}item.remove();ungroupSelection(); // Recursively ungroup newly ungrouped items}}}if (app.activeDocument) {doc = app.activeDocument;if (doc.selection.length > 0) {ungroupSelection();} else {alert("Please make a selection before running this script.");}} else

This is very frustrating.  When I save a file as an .svg to be opened in a plotting program (to cut vinyl), ALL files saved from my computer end up jagged, missing pieces, or shapes shifted all around.  When the same file is saved as an .svg from a different computer, there are no issues at all.  We have checked our settings, and everything is exactly the same.  It only happens from my computer.  Screenshot of original .ai file attached, as well as screenshot of how it looks when opened for the plotter.  Also attached is a screen shot of the save settings from both computers, with mine on the left. Both computers are running with separate CC accounts, and all programs are up to date.  Again, this only happens when I save from my computer. What is going on, and how do I fix this?

Hi, recently Adobe Illustrator 27.5 crashed on me while I was working on a project. I went to the DataRecovery folder (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings\en_US\x64\DataRecovery) but there was nothing in \x64\. What do I do? It also seemed to have just decided not to save my work to the cloud at all around 2 hours before the crash.

Hi All, when opening multiple illustrator files with large linked images, Illustrator seems to replicate and position (and scaled) images from within the file, sometimes even duplicating existing links. Each link in the file is accompanied by an extra image which Illustrator prompts to be relinked upon opening the file. This has only started occuring after updating Illustrator to 27.4.1. Wondering if any one else has this issue and hoping this bug gets fixed. Thanks

I want to import a Adobe Illustrator file from Freepik. Following setting I did but dowloaded file is not a *.ai. file How to get Illustrator file?        

When trying to identify fonts using the Retype feature, many times the fonts won't load previews. Usually if I don't have a font installed, it gives me the option to download it but at least shows a preview first, but many times all I see are these 3 dots forever. Sometimes it works fine though, it's very inconsistent. Is there any way to fix this?

I am currently having issues with creating custom artboards. Whenever I hover over my grouped logo to create an artbaord around it, it doesn't seem to work.  But if I create the artboard somewhere else, it lets me. Any adivce? 

I have two questions in one post:1 - I was wondering why there is a T-shirt image at the splash screen of Illustrator. Please review the image. I got the Generative Shape Fill (beta) part but why there is a tshirt image next to it? Can we mock up a vector image directly in illustrator or do we still need Photoshop to do this?  2 - ALSO: MY SECOND QUESTION ISI brought a Tshirt Image and created an AI vector image with Generative Shape tool. I tried Mockup Beta by selecting both the tshirt image and vector image I just created. Although the vector image wrapped around the T-shirt well to arm, as shown in the second image I have uploaded here, it does not work well with wrinkled T-shirts. It is not realistic. The wrapping part works fine but I was expecting this to work on wrinkled tshirts more realistic.
