Bonjour, depuis quelques mois, je rencontre des problèmes avec ma version d'Illustrator (2026).Je suis sur Mac OS Sequoia 15.5. A plusieurs reprises et sur des fichiers différents, Illustrator me fait disparaitre des éléments, soit à l'enregistrement soit à l'import sur InDesign. Je ne sais pas quoi faire et recréer un nouveau fichier ne marche pas forcément. Est-ce que d'auters personnes rencontrent ce type de problème ?Merci pour vos réponses.

Hi there friends! So, I have been using Photoshop for over 20yrs but always struggled with Illustrator. I am working on a logo project and having more issues than usual. I started in Photoshop by creating my logo as a work of art to then use as a reference to get to a vector based logo. Now my paths are so complex and I am all around lost in it. Any advice would be appreciated! I tried image trace and that was even more difficult for me. I even tried Kittl but I loathe AI and that didnot work either. I am uploading my art ( a Tanuki themed therapist in a chair sipping on a coffee) and then I am uploading what I have so far as a vector logo of it. Thank you! Stef   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi there, I am looking for a way to divide ellipse into equal segments. Unlike circle, I cannot use angle to divid, which would yield different length on the ellipse. I've also tried Object -> Path -> Add anchor points, but I cannot specify the number of segments. I was looking for a way to do this (hopefully without any expensive plugins). Has anyone achieve this before and if so, could you share the method? All the tutorial I found online are based on circle, not oval. The ability to add anchor point at specific distance distance also works since I can manually calculate the length of the segment. Another way that I found is to draw number of lines matching the number of segments I need, then use Objegs on Path to place them onto the ellipse then manually add anchor points there. As you can image, this is pretty cumbersome, so  hopefully there is an easier and better way to do this. Tjhank you

Here's a problem that I've noticed a number of times. It seems to happen intermittently and the really annoying thing is that it doesn't show up in Illustrator, only in exported images. Strokes within symbols don't always display correctly when they are exported as a png. It seems to happen when the symbol is rotated or scaled. It doesn't always happen. I can't work out what specifically makes this happen or not happen. I've attached a screengrab and a screen recording to show the process.

Hi,Could someone please take a look at the attached file and see if they can identify my problem?For this file only, I'm experiencing noticeable desaturation of colours when exporting to JPG or PNG, or even when opening the file in Photoshop as an experiment. My Colour Mode is set to RGB, Working Space to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and Profile to Working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, using Illustrator v29.8.2 but also having the same results on a different laptop running the latest version.I've done a fairly exhaustive search online with no change in the export, and even converted all objects in the file to RGB - still no luck. If I open an independednt vector file the exports are fine, so it seems like an issue with this file only.I've converted the file over to Photoshop and upped the saturation a touch, where the exports mirror what I'm seeing on screen but I'd prefer to work with it in Illustrator if at all possible.I've had to change the file extension to PDF to be able to upload it for som

We want to design a packaging label for a liquid product in Adobe Illustrator. The product will be sold in both the US and Latin America.We want to avoid mistakes between liquid volume units such as US liquid gallons vs Imperial gallons.Is there any built-in standard or best practice in Adobe apps for handling unit conversions or its entirely on the designer to convert and verify the volume values manually?

How do i make a pattern brush so that instead of stretching, the pattern just crops when the line ends?I have been playing around with flip settings and fit settings but no matter what i pick the pattern keeps stretching, unless i select 'add space to fit' but i dont want gaps in the lines.   

Adobe, please explain this to me. According to my privacy settings on my Mac, I have not given permission to be screen recorded. However, it still happens every time I use Illustrator. Does anyone else have this problem and find it concerning?

  Embedded links keep disappearing in Illustrator.  2 examples attached.  Please help, this has only started happening in the past few weeks.  I have recently updated tp 30.0 and it is still happening.  

Good afternoon,   I was exploring the 3D paenl, and put a 360º twist on an object. I was elated, and designed a proof of concept for a threaded object. Hubby, aka Mr. Grumpy, spoiled my fun. He said the twist was backwards, making the object lefty-tighty/righty-loosey. I thought I could fix that with a negative twist on the object. The panel did not want to give a negative twist. A web search said it should be possible. I have great ideas for 3D prints, and they are foiled by the twist.   PJ

Is there any way to add text boxes using actions in Illustrator? I would like to add 6 separate text boxes as the last part of an action I have been working on, but I haven't been able to figure out how to add them. If it is possible, would it also be possible to make it show up with specific text like 'Figure 1'?   <Title renamed by moderator>

So, I don't know why, but since Illustrator 30.x I'm not able to just natively click on an artboard and drag or resize it.  And therefore to activate the artboard-tool by itself by just clicking on an artboard.  Now I'm forced to activate and use the artboard-tool first by clicking on it.  If I wanna move an artboard I just want to click on its name (like before) and do it. That's just super annoying now and does not bring any benefit to me?! Can't find a way to change it in preferences - would be nice being able to bring back the former behaviour.And: Now we can even LOCK an artboard (which is nice btw :)), so anyone who is annoyed by accidentally moving an artboard can lock it. There's no need to lock artboard-movement in general in my opinion.

Hello,When I open Illustrator it gets stuck and it becomes unresponding, not opening until multiple tries. When I manage to open it, working with files is nearly impossible, with constant crashes when saving and/or opening. Attached is a crash report in case it's useful to help debug the problem.Thank you!
