Since the latest update I get weird effects when using pathfinder (trim/divide) for instance. Is there any know issues? Se attachements. The object when using divide gets weird corners, what am I doing wrong? Never seen this before. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Without seeing Layers Panel, Stroke Panel Appearance Panel and object selected it is very hard to say.

  • Are there strokes involved?
  • Are these real paths? Check it with [Strg/Ctrl]+[Y]  (Outline View)
  • Is this a problem with GPU? Try to toggle with [Strg/Ctrl]+[E]  (Preview on CPU/GPU)

Looks like a GPU preview glitch, fast but not always accurate.

Check Cmd or Ctrl E to switch to CPU preview.

It will not print or export this way.

Is this happening to anyone else? This is a newer problem I'm experiencing where the point of an object doessn't actually come to a perfect point. There's no way for me to edit this little edge as the object is fully expanded and has no stroke. You can see it  happening on most of the letters and the star shape in the Q.

Sorry, I originally uploaded a different file that showed the specific edge I'm speaking about. I'll include a screenshot so you can see what I mean. This weird edge is showing up on almost all of my points on each letter as well as the star shape included in the file I originally shared.

breep,

 

What happens if you hold Ctrl/Cmd and press E?

 

This toggles between GPU and CPU, the former sometimes being a bit unruly.

Hello! I am currently using the latest version of Illustrator. I notice that the semi-transperent contours look very srange. What is the problem? Where do the broken lines come from?

This may be a side-effect of GPU Preview. Try "View Using CPU" to see if the issue is corrected.

Yes, this effect disappears when switching to the CPU, but it's impossible for me to work without a GPU. This Illustrator bug is GPU-related, right?

Probably a preview problem.

GPU Preview is fast, but sometimes inaccurate.

Try switching between GPU/CPU Preview with Cmd or Ctrl E.

Has anyone else experienced a fault with gradients that appears to cause a fractal effect? Here's a couple of screenshots...

Screenshot 2021-06-30 at 13.43.47.pngScreenshot 2021-06-30 at 13.43.54.png

Now, I've only encountered this parasite when working with outlined type. I can make complex shapes without any fault in the same gradients.

 

Colour space is CMYK as this needs to be for print. Exporting to pixel formats makes everything right. SVG files inherrit the fractal effect.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi there,

Sorry for the trouble. Could you please share some info like:

  • The version of OS and Illusrator?
  • Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
  • Have you tried toggling GPU Performance under Preferences > Performance?

 

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks & Regards,
Anshul Saini

Hi Anshul, thanks for getting back to me. 

 

I can confirm I'm using macOS Big Sur version 11.4 and Illustrator 25.3.1.

 

The fault appears in new and old documents and does not appear to be colour space specific.

 

My settings have GPU Performance activated. Toggling to "Off" solves the problem! Confirmed by it reappearing when GPU Performance is activated again. How bizarre?!

 

To clarify, GPU Performance has always been active. I use gradients most of the time in my work and the fault has only appeared in the last update or two.

Hi,

I am experiencing another type of GPU preview glitch on the latest version of illustrator 26.0.2.

With GPU preview, there is a strange grey line. After switching back to CPU preview, the issue has disappear but the previewing performance is hugely degraded.

 

I am running a MacBook Pro on Big Sur, 11.6.1. Please advise and fix the issue as soon as possible.\

Thank you.
