Question

Illustrator 30.0 seems good so far except...

I've got two versions installed just in case, but so far I'm impressed with 30.0! There was one thing that immediately jumped out at me, and is driving me insane- the grid has changed. I have a template for all my pages with a grid layout. I've looked at this template for a decade now and I instantly noticed that the grid lines are thicker and not as crisp looking. I hate it. The grid feels so heavy now and it distracts from the artwork. Please fix whatever was changed or give us options to adjust the thickness of the grid lines. 

 

Other than that, nice job!

Hi @B_C_E_75,

 

Thanks for sharing your observations. I tested this on my end and found the grid lines in both versions to appear visually similar. Could you please share a screenshot from Illustrator 29.8.2 and another from 30.0 showing the difference you're seeing? 

 

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek

I also noticed 30.0 doing something odd with the grid. Often, when I select the art on my artboard, it's like the grid gets selected also and it shifts with the selected art. Sometimes it moves a little and other times it can be quite a lot. Scrolling up or down so the affected part goes off screen usually fixes it.

Hello @B_C_E_75,

Thanks for confirming. I attempted to replicate this behaviour on my end, but was unable to do so. Could you please share a small screen recording of your exact workflow, a link to a sample file, and your System Report (Illustrator Help > System Info), so we can review this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
