Questions

I updated Illustrator on my Mac to the most recent update and now whenever I use the space bar it hightlights the exit button in the top left corner of the app. If I am working on a new doc this brings up the save pop up window and if I am in a doc with no recent changes it exits the app completely. I just want to put a space in between words and not have the app demand to close. How do I fix this?

Hello! I was trying to select 30 simple vectors from a DXF file (from another software called Fusion 360) and did not suceed in using global edit tool. Even those elements appearing to be the same (PDF file attached). Some of the elements get in the global edit but I put the ones that did not work together. Please, let me know what is wrong and if there is a way to solve this.

Is there any way to make the flashing text insertion cursor more visible in Illustrator? When setting type for paragraphs, I'm always having to hunt around to find out exactly where it is. Can the color be changed from something other than black?

Hola, tengo un enorme problema con unos archivos de Illustrator resulta que hace un par de días el disco duro de mi computadora se malogró de un momento a otro y pese a todos los soportes técnicos por los que paso no hay forma de recuperar lo que tenía en el disco duro, es decir, lo perdí todo. Adquirí un nuevo disco duro y volví a descargar el creative cloud y la aplicación de Illustrator debido a que los trabajos suelen guardarse en el menú del programa, además la opción de guardado automático en la nube de Illustrator estaba activada, pero no logré encontrar el archivo. Existe alguna manera de poder encontrar el archivo? Quizás Adobe pueda ayudarme, talvez encuentren el archivo en su base de datos, nose. Ayuda.

is it possible to export few open ai files to pdf and not one by one? tnx

I only know a bit of JavaScript and have tried to implement changing Corners' Rounding to Relative with the help of ChatGPT, but I can't get it to work. I need to use it very often, and each time I have to tediously double-click and then click Relative, or tediously click in a far away toolbar. The effect I'm trying to achieve in ChatGPT is to change to Relative when there are more than 2 anchors selected, when the angle is less than 90 degrees, and when Rounding is Absolute. 

When I rotate a stroke or a filled shape, I am getting wavy edges. I've noticed that if it's at 0°, 330°, 300, 270° etc. it's fine but anything in between the said angles isn't working. It doesn't matter how thin or think my stroke or shape is. What am I doing wrong? Here's a screenshot that shows my problem:

 ONCE UPON A TIME, WITH ADOBE DIMENSION, it was possible to set up a view (isometric from top for example) and extrude and position all the pieces easily.now with Illustrator I have to set everything at the single path level and this complicates things for me.Is it possible to do the same as with Adobe Dimension?

I have the units preferences set to be displayed in inches in Illustrator CC, which it used to be displayed in. All of a sudden it has started displaying in MM for objects and art boards, and I'm assuming everything else. The preferences are still set to inches for all 3 options. I have closed the app many times and rebooted the computer twice. The app is and has been up to date. What gives? It is making it nearly impossible for me to get anything done. Please help!

Hay alguna manera de descargar o un link de descarga para una versión anterior de Illustrator para una MacOS High Sierra versión 10.13.6?

Hello,  I am a fairly new user to Illustrator and I am trying to figure out how some of my objects in my Illustrator document have disappeared.  I have a document with several artboards and layers.  The artboards have many small ellipses that I have copied and pasted across all artboards.  Suddenly the small ellipses I have created have all disappeared while all the other elements in the artboards and layers have stayed intact.  I have tried to see if the ellipses were hidden Object > Show All (but nothing is hidden), if any of my layers were turned off  - all eye icons are displayed for all layers and sublayers, and if the ellipses were hiding behind any images by Arrange > Send to Back or Arrange > Bring to Front..nothing. Is there anything else I can check to see why these objects are not displayed? I also think this happened at the same time I saved my document to Creative Cloud.  Has anyone else had a problem with losing data/object

The dimension tool is quite helpful.  I've noticed however if you make a change, like move the dimension, it expands the object and becomes a group, so you no longer have access to the Dimension Properties.  How can I switch the 'group' back to 'Dimension'? Group:Dimension:  

when I place a bitmap in illustrator, I get funny verticle lines, once I move it, it previews correctly, then goes back to lines.here's what I see. after I move it, it looks normal, then goes back to lines. I have the latest version of Illustrator 28.5

I'm trying to apply a gradient accross a group of simple circular objects, but it is not working.I have tried creating a compound path of the objects but it is not applying the colour accross all the circles.

Hello Everyone, I wanted to try the new Retype feature in Illustrator, but as soon as I click on "Edit Text" from the quick menu, my computer immediately restarts. Has anyone experienced this? What could be causing it? Thanks in advance!

Hi,I am trying to create a script to specify a percentage of the selected items you want to remove.Here is what I have so far.I still need to work out on the alert prompt and the if statement, but for now, I have the feeling that the selection.length keep changing each time Illustrator delete an object, and I don't know how to make it stick.var selection = app.activeDocument.selection;//alert prompt dialog for a percentage of deletionfor (var i = 0;  i < selection.length;  i++) {    if (Math.random < 0.5) { //need to work out the percentage        alert("yes")        selection.remove();    }}Thanks for the help,

I have created a script for Illustrator with a lot of included jsx files. Breakpoints ( $.bp() ) had worked fine inside these includes until a few days ago. The script stops if there is a breakpoint, but Visual Studio will not jump to the breakpoint. Very strange. I have tried so far:- reinstalled VS Code (Intel) for the Apple M1 machine with Ventura after cleaning with AppCleaner- reinstalled Illustrator (28.5)- reinstalled the ExtendScript extension and tried various settingsAll without success.The machine I am using is managed by client management, so there might have been a VS Code or security update which broke my settings.Any ideas or help is appreciated.Not much fun to work in a single JSXThank you in advance
