Illustrator to PowerPoint vector pasting no longer working?

[carln90164570]

Just updated to 29.8.1 and I can no longer copy and paste a vector direct from Illustrator into PowerPoint. I can normally just grab an illustration from Illustrator and copy/paste into PPT, but since the update it's pasting nothing. I'm on Windows 11 and have tried copying from different Illustrator files and also tried restarting computer but still the same. Perhaps someone could have a go and see if this is working for them or not. Thanks

Nope! Same issues with 30.0.0.91

As the title says, I cannot paste the SVG code from copying elements in Illustrator to anywhere (I've tried pasting it as raw HTML code, exporting into Figma, etc. Nothing works, so it's an Illustrator-side issue).

I have the settings checked in my Preferences and yet it still doesn't work.

I am running the latest version on Windows 11. Would appreciate any kind of advice or support regarding this issue, thanks!

I think you misunderstood, I meant pasting a shape I created in Illustrator and having it come out as raw SVG code. 

[CarlosCanto]

oh ok, paste your Illustrator shape in VSCode, it'll paste as svg code

[Wabber_HM]

Element in Illustrator needs to be all #000000 as a temporary workaround.

This is something that really impacts my produtivity, and there's more, i can`t copy+past more than once inside Illustrator if my PPT is open... This is a huge problem for working in presentations. I have to export my ppt to pdf is i want both open, but if i`m workin on a PPT and use Illustrator, i have to export everything to import... i can't even express how bad this has been here... please! somebody help! Everything was working so good before and now i feel like in the 90`s

Hi everyone,

Thanks for sharing your updates here. The issue has been addressed in the latest Illustrator release (PR 30.0.0.91). If you're still experiencing the problem after updating, please try signing out of the Creative Cloud desktop app, then sign back in and relaunch Illustrator to see if that resolves it.

Let me know how it goes after trying this.

Abhishek

I’m using Illustrator (PR 30.0.0.114) and it’s not working.
