Hey thanks,

I'm fixed it!

 

Here the steps for reset Preferences:

~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Preferences

 

Rename the folders:

Adobe Illustrator 27

com.adobe.illustrator

Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings 

to 

com.adobe.illustrator.old 

Adobe Illustrator 27.old

Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings.old

Hi,

thanks for answer, I haven't Adobe Illustrator Prefs folder.

In the attached you can see the contents of ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings/it_IT/

Hi @fabiod47419754 what version of Big Sur are you running?

How much free HD space do you have on your Mac?

Hi,

the BigSur version is 11.7.2 (20G1020) and I've 850GB free on 2TB SSD; ram 64GB.

Now I've downgraded to 26.5.2 and the problem isn't there.
