Questions

Hi Illustrator genius'!  I'm a complete newbie here so please bear with me but I've scoured the internet and just can't find the answer to my question... I am trying to create an SVG cut file of a 2 layered drawing I have created in Procreate (which can't generate SVG filetypes) so... I have imported the layers into Illustrator on my iPad as PNG files but they are showing as objects under a layer, rather than their own layers - hope that makes sense?! - and if I try to move them I get an error stating "Can't move non-layer object to the top". Hopefully the screenshot helps explain. Any ideas on how to split these two images into layers? Any help greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks so much! 

 Probably a dumb question since it's my first time using any adobe software.. but I can't seem to find out how to remove these guide boxes hovering over my design. They are in the same individual layer as the lines of the design which makes me think they can't be removed without removing artwork as well? I would appreciate any help because I am as stuck as stuck gets

The mobile Illustrator app on my iPad won’t unload to creative cloud the artwork I create with the illustrator app on my iPad. After uploading an illustrator file created on the ipad to creative cloud all the artboards upload blank. None of the photos or drawing are uploaded to the creative cloud folder from the illustrator app on my ipad.  But, artwork and photos I create in the version of illustrator on my desktop iMac is uploaded to creative cloud from my iMac. But, if I  work on the illustrator files uploaded to creative cloud from my iMac with my ipad, none of the additions or changes I make to the ilustrator file on my ipad will be saved back to the creative cloud. The files will continue to appears as they came from my iMac with none of the changes made on my ipad with the mobile illustrator app.  Is this issue fixable?

Yes! So glad it's finally here! I've been experimenting with the new app for part of today, and feels pretty good already. Some nice new features as well as a lot of the recognisable stuff. Am I right in thinking there are very limited brushes at the moment? I'd like to use the Artistic brushes that I use on the desktop version, but can't see them, or see how to load them. Maybe list below other stuff that you...a.) can't find (someone else might have)b.) have found and want to tell others (information is king!)c.) want to be added.

Hi everyone -    I was drawing on my ipad with my apple pencil and after a while noticed that all my lines are outlined in another color. Is there a certain type of brush that does this or something that I can toggle on or off.   Can't figure out how to disable this function.    Thanks!  

Has anyone found a rotate option yet? I haven't found one for desktop either but was hoping that it would at least be added to the tablet addition other than flipping my tablet around and around as I work. ----

I can't find it anywhere. 

Hello, I am trying to transform my current background which is white into a transparent background on Illustrator via IPAD. How to please? 

When I input hexcode for adobe illustrator on ipad, I have to do it really fast otherwise it automatically fillup the empty space with 0000. Then I have to backspace it and input the hexcode from the start.  Why is this UI designed this way? Is it benefiting anyone? 

Hi gang. I'm having trouble saving a paint color to put on other objects. So say I have one color I like and four objects. How do I get all four separate objects the same color? I've found no way to do this. This is illustrator for ipadThanks. Matt

Hello!  I'm trying to make a map on Illustrator on iPad.  I drew it all out and realized that a few of the paths didn't connect properly (meaning, I couldn't fill in the land masses properly).  Any idea how to connect or erase and reconnect the paths?  I'd like to be able to erase the section that's faulty and reconnect it with a new path, using the pencil.  But I can't seem to get that to work.  Thanks!

Is it possible to reflect an object in Illustrator for iPad? Mirroring locks the two objects together - but can't figure out a way to separate them. Is there a way to reflect and still have two idependant objects that aren't locked together - can be moved independently? Thanks if anyone has info / experience with this.

I have made a simple heart shape with a brush stroke and I need to thicken the object so that when I export it as an SVG it maintains it's thickness. I've been told the way to do this is to outline the stroke, but I can't select the "create stroke outline" option as it is greyed out. I've tried everything I can think of. 

Paths drawn using pencil are closing automatically even when ends are relatively far from each other. Can i disable that somehow?

Hi all, I am new to using Illustrator on the iPad (I'm used to it on the Mac). I'm having trouble figuring out how to crop an image I uploaded. I am not seeing any options to crop in the toolbar.  Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!-Marisa

Hello, I'm looking to see if it's possible to use the gradient color feature when using the pen or pencil tools?  I can do it with the blob tool, but can't seem to do it with pen or pencil.  Thanks!

I can't figure out how to add bleed to a file on my iPad on Illustrator. Any suggestions? Can you do it at all?

Hi ! I don't find how I can transform image in vectorial image thanks to illustrator with my iPad, can you help me please ? thanks

I just purchased an Ipad Pro 3rd gen in hopes of doing some casual illustrations. The program is unusable though. It loses track after about three resizes or pen strokes and never "catches up."  I'm on the most current v. of adobe and Os for the Ipad. Using the apple pencil. I've tried starting and uninstalling and reinstalling. Is this just how the program runs?  I was having some luck turning the ipad from landscape to portrait and sometimes that would "refresh" the changes but that's not a long term soltuion. It's like trying to work on an etch a sketch!  

how can i connect two open paths? the option is always grey and i'm not able to use it..

Hi! I was hoping someone could help me with this. I've been using Illustrator for the iPad for around 3 weeks and i've noticed that the palm rejection is pretty bad. Half of the times I put my hand and apple pencil down, it assumes I pinched really quick, and it will trigger the zoom to fit gesture, its very annoying and it makes it very uncomfortable to use the blob tool and the pencil tool. The "palm rejection" option is turned on, but all it seems to do is disable the touch to use tools and whatnot. Is there anything I can do? Can I turn off the Zoom to fit gesture somehow?? is anyone else having this issue? Fresco is unusable for me for a similar issue.

I've tried to create a custom project for example 1920 x 1920 pixels in RGB .....However there doesn't seem to be a clear option to then select Which RGB colour profile and also I'd want to be able to select at What resolution to work. The file seems to simply decide for me to start at 79 ppi which I would prefer to really set at 300 ppi for example. Is this possible or not yet available? Thanks so much! It looks promising!

Hello, users! I have just subscribed for Adobe Illustrator on iPad Pro, needing it for work, but I have a tedious problem.When I try to open a .ai file I airdropped from my Mac to my iPad, Illustrator (on iPad) gives me an error: "Can't open xx.ai file". I have checked the file on my Mac and it perfectly opens on Illustrator. I have also tried uploading the file directly from Google Drive (so Mac -> Drive -> iPad), but it doesn't work too.Any advice on how to solve this problem, please?Thank you so much!
