Hey everyone,After the latest Illustrator update, I started noticing that when I take screenshots to send previews to clients, there’s now this gray text showing the artboard name (like “01 - Artboard 1”) appearing at the top of my workspace.The problem is — this label now overlaps important information on my canvas, such as the printed size (for example “2.1x3.6m” in my design). It wasn’t there before, and now it makes my screenshots look messy when I just want to capture the artboard preview for client confirmation.I already checked under View menu but there’s no option like “Show/Hide Artboard Names”.Does anyone know how to completely hide that artboard name label?I really hope Adobe adds a toggle back for this. It’s such a small thing but super annoying when sending previews to clients! &#x1f605Thanks in advance for any tips or hidden settings that might fix this!

Why is there an "AutoCAD" folder inside my Adobe Illustrator folder on my C: drive?Is it normal for an AutoCAD folder to appear after installing Illustrator?Is there an AutoCAD folder inside my Illustrator folder? What is it used for?

I'm looking for US/EU print shops to provide print and dispatch fulfilment. My problem is that I sell maths-based prints where purity of line and edge are crucial. At present I output directly from Illustrator to an SC-P900 at maximum resolution and get superb results but I am UK based and want to get out of the hassle of dealing with tarriffs and increasingly complex packaging regimes. The problem I have found is that people who describe themselves as fine art printers often seem only to accept raster file formats. At the kind of resolution I need the files would be beyond enormous for something like an A3 print from an original Illustrator file of only a few megabytes. I sell world-wide but mainly UK/US/EU and really need to output within the relevant borders. So do people have any recommendation for print shops which are used to accepting Illustrator-based one-off orders for output on museum-quality papers, with subsequent packaging/delivery in those markets. David La

I teach students on how to get certified for Adobe Illustrator and the test does not include/not allow the new AI tools. I would like to have the ability to turn off AI tools in the product or have an updated test that includes it.MAX suggestion- Anna

I'm trying to create a blurred circle which will sit on top of a gradient background but I keep getting this white glow around the blur. I just want it to blur blue - how do I achieve this? Thank you. 

I am a self taugh novice and need to have a bit better understanding of how colors are handled by printing machines.  I am using the word machine so that no one thinks I am talking about a print shop.  🙂 I am planning on supplying someone with a pdf  to use for dye sublimation on some coffee mugs. Will a process color print the same as a spot color, if they both are set up with the same, RGB, Lab or CMYK values?  Thank you. 

Scrubby slides in Illustrator - they don't have them and we want them NOW! 

Hi All! Newbie with a newbie question here.. I am trying to use the envelope distort feature (filling a shape with text) and I'd like to make some slight alterations to the text after it is being distorted.  I tried Expanding the text beforehand, which created the paths beorehand, but after applying the envelope distort effect, the paths seemed to have went away.  Is there any way to make this happen? Or do I have to manually draw in the desired adjustments? Thank you so much!

Art boards in Illustrator don't snap to the nearest numbers and when you export they don't look good. Art boards should snap to full numbers! 

Hello, excuse my English, please use Google Translate. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to ask about a problem I've been having with AI (Adobe Illustrator) for a few weeks now. When I work on a project in AI, I work on it in layers and then animate it in AE (After Effects). However, I have a problem: when I import it as a composition, regardless of the layer size or document size, the layers are duplicated. I've included screenshots to show the problem I'm having, and this only happens with my AI. If someone sends me an AI file to animate and import into AE, it doesn't cause this problem. It only happens when I work with my AI.

Does Ai have a capability to Invert a path similiar to PS when Inverting a Selection?

Buenos diascomunidad, actualice a la version 30 el dia de hoy y mire que en el illustrator en la parte superior aparece el nombre de la mesa de trabajo, me gustaria saber como removerlo o ocultarlo, ya que para mi es muy molesto verlo en el espacio de trabajo ya que para mi es mejor renombrar la mesa de trabajo en el panel de mesa de trabajo y no que no aparezca en mi espacio de trabajo, cualquier solucion respondame  saludos  

Hi there, I have a diagram that i am drawing in 1/4 ration (e.g., if the original length is 20cm, then it's i willdraw as 5cm). When I draw the line, I can use the Line Segment Tool Options and type 20/4 and it will automatically calculate the value for me, which is very handy,. However, sometimes I need to measure the length of a path, so I enable the Ojbects option in the Document Info panel, and it shows me the length of the selected path, which is great. However, the lenth is shown as the calculated value, which makes sense because that's the actual length being used. However, I wil hae to use a calculator and convert the value back each time I want to look up something. Is there a way to set something like scaling factor for a document so that I don't have to do this conversion back and forth? I tried to look up settings in the document, artboard, or the preferences but couldn't find anything. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am working on plugin and I would like to change document color mode in code from RGB to CMYK. SincesAIDocument->SetDocumentColorModel(kDocCMYKColor);only changes the document flag, but does not do the actual conversion, I though the easiest way to do proper conversion was to invoke the already present functionality, as if the user changed the color mode manually:AICommandID to_cmyk_id; sAICommandManager->GetCommandIDFromName(kDocColorCmykCommandStr, &to_cmyk_id); sAIMenu->InvokeMenuAction(to_cmyk_id); This does exactly what I want, it changes the color mode to CMYK with proper conversion. It however breaks the document state inside the plugin.For example, even the following simple call to get document fails, if the InvokeMenuAction codeblock is executed before it.AIDocumentHandle doc = nullptr; sAIDocument->GetDocument(&doc);Is it possible to refresh the state inside the plugin after InvokeMenuAction()? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When I try to open a file I'm working on, I get a text import options pop-up when I click okay, then there is nothing on the file. I'm confused. It was working a few days ago.  Thank you to anyone's help! 

Okay, so leaving aside the fact that there's no simple way to just type a percentage in Illustrator & have an image scale quickly, I do at least know that if I place an image & click it comes in at 100%. Now I'm curious... And I'm sure the answer is a simple one & I'm gonna feel really stupid when I find out the answer... But I just don't know what it is... Why is it, when I have this Photoshop file, where the image area is 1000mm x 700mm at 300dpi with some black around the outside & I bring it into illustrator & it tells me it's the same dimensions... Why is it telling me it's 24% & not 100%? *duck & cover* 

Hello,We have noticed that often when working with some .ai files that the 'Use Artboards' button is locked:The files only have 1 Artboard anyway so I wouldnt expect this to be a problem, but it means that our files get duplicated with "-01" added to the end.Both files are identical when opened in Illustrator, we work with thousands of Illustrator files and this is a nightmare for our version control and storage. I can only find help articles asking to 'tick' the greyed out box, not 'untick' the greyed out box.Any files we have where that box is unticked like normal do not have the duplicating problem. Using latest Illustrator Version 29.8.1. I have experienced the same issue with 29.8 and 29.71.It is unclear how this is happening because it is not every file we work on, sometimes it happens to new files created from scratch, sometimes older legacy files created on previous versions. This issue is being experienced by everyone in our team, and resetting our illustra
