Question

Illustrator 24 does not read the full colors names from .ase files

I am having an issue with Illustrator 2024, when I import my ase file some colours are displayed as UNNAMED; despite the fact that they are named  (i.e. RAL 010 40 45 Raspberry Ice Cream Read) It seems that the Illustrator can not read a certain amount of characters. Is there a workaround to display these long names without having to shorten it ? On the previous version it seemed to work fine.

Ich habe das gleiche Problem.

Es stehen leider nur 30 Zeichen zur Verfügung, bei der Benennung der Farben in der Farbpalette

Kann man die Zeichen erweitern, damit der Farbname nicht gekürzt wird?

I can confirm that there is a limit to the amount of characters in the swatch name. For me it stops after 31.

Maybe you can make a feature request here:

Hello @olafk13302450,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., details of your workflow, and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/4eFstFQ), so we can investigate this further?

Also, try installing an older version of Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/3VIDHAO) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
