the placement of it there in the properties panel by Adobe is quite aggressive and obnoxious.

[pauljohnc]

I want to direct your attention to the Adobe Illustrator UserVoice forum, which is designed for feature requests and bug reports. There, you can share your thoughts and suggestions, and the Adobe team actively monitors this platform.

Has the Text To Vector (Beta) Generative AI section got anything to do with the Contextual Task Bar? Are they not two entirely different things?

[Anshul_Saini]

You are absolutely right, @pauljohnc. My apologies for any confusion. I initially meant to refer to "text to vector graphic (beta)," but the contextual taskbar feature was on my mind at that moment. I've clarified my previous response now. I appreciate your attention to detail.

Once again, thank you!

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

That link goes to the Beta app but Im not using that, Im using the latest stable release 28.0

[Anshul_Saini]

@pauljohnc I understand that you're experiencing an issue with a link that seems to direct you to the Beta app, even though you're using the latest stable release, which is version 28.0. It appears there might be a compatibility or version detection problem with the link. This can happen because the link is designed to open in the latest version of Illustrator, which can include both stable and pre-release or Beta versions.

I hope that clarifies!

Best,

Anshul Saini

by Beta app I meant Illustrator (Desktop) Beta forum.

Fear my complaint will be dismissed because its in the wrong forum.

[Anshul_Saini]

being kind to the user in the first place would get kinder language

The location of the Text to Vector Graphic (Beta) in the Properties Panel is super invasive and should not go there or should at least have the option to move or disable. It also doesn't stay collapsed which is very annoying. This does not belong in the properties panel and forces everything lower and takes up valuable space and is a hinderence to my workflow.

I honestly can't believe Adobe put a beta feature directly into one of the most important panels and left us with no way to remove or move or disable it.

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @ericc19576445 @pauljohnc @Manji312 ,

Hello 

I'm trying to use this incredible feature but I don't know why it is not working for me. I've tried a few simple prompts and waited like 5 min to get it but at the end it says "An error occurred". I already tried it in empty documents and it's the same problem. Has anyone had this problem or know what I can do? 

[Anshul_Saini]

Hi @gracielam74336989,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the new Text to Vector Graphics (beta). It's important to note that you're not alone in encountering this issue, as several other users have reported similar experiences.

I'm pleased to inform you that the issue has been addressed in our latest beta release, v28.1.62. This updated version is readily available on Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) within the beta apps section.

Your input is valuable in helping us improve the product. Please follow this link to the UserVoice to share your experience after updating to v28.1.62. 

Best,

Anshul Saini

Thank you very much!

I really dislike this generative stuff. It is so upsetting seeing it take over my artistic tools. Makes me want to just throw my computer into the sea and maybe myself with it. 

[Allison Vander Ploeg]

Hello, I activated this beta tool but want to turn the feature back off, how do I do that?

You cannot turn it off. There might be feature requests on Uservoice that you can. support, bu currectly this is only possible in Enterprise settings, where sys admins can turn off the connection.

[Allison Vander Ploeg]

@Monika Gause it would be nice to be able to turn the feature back off. Thanks for getting back to me.

[Monika Gause]

As I said: please make a feature request. This is the public forum. 95% of people aren't even staff. 

[Allison Vander Ploeg]

@Monika Gause I appreciate the tip about how to request the feature, I will do that. Thanks again!
