Hi there,

 

Sorry about this trouble. I am hopeful that the issue was fixed. If not, we have recently released an update for Illustrator 2020 (v 24.3) which contains some stability fixes. If you are not already on v24.3, then we recommend you to update to latest version.

 

If that doesn't help, try steps shared in this similar discussion and share your observations with us.

 

Regards,

Srishti

Hello @marina29944412pk2z,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please start a new post with details of the OS/Illustrator version installed and screenshots/a screen recording of your workflow, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Would you care to elaborate on that? How, step by step, are you attempting to use it, what behavior are you expecting, and what, exactly, happens when you try?

 

Thanks,
Peter
