The thing I hate most about Illustrator is the "help" files. I clicked help and had to go online.(strike one)
I do not like Illy selecting guidelines that are not even visible on the screen.
I often get files from customers with hidden guide lines that show up when I select visible objects to get an idea of the size and one (or both) is 227"

I wish AI's rasterizing limit was not so low that you could export a 3x12ft layout as a bitmap (100dpi) without having to open the ai file in Photoshop (that I do not own).

Corel added this in X4.... finally. Nice to have.Illustrator and CorelDraw- wish both of them would allow selective radius, being you could take an object and put a radius on one corner or intersection instead of the "all or nothing" we get. Every CAD program out there allows you to click to objects and it puts a fillet on just those objects. It's been around for 30 years now, yet we can't get it in a graphics package unless we buy after market tools for Illustrator.
I don't understand

I ran into this last week. I was flabergasted that it didn't do this automatically. You have to "embed linked bitmaps" (or some such) or they just don't go along with the file. Who would put a bitmap into a file if they didn't want it there? I figured this out buy dicking around in the online help files for a half hour and then calling a friend who told me how to do it. (snarky again.... sorry)Good idea for a thread....My biggest pet peeve for years using Illustrator is that it still does not have a collect for output function or package function that will gather all your links and fonts into a folder for release. Am dumbfounded they have not included this function yet. I have read there are scripts you can install to do this, and have tried them with limited success, but c'mon...! This would be HUGE and I don't see why they haven't done it yet.
That, and the fact that it crashes a couple times a day, pretty much all I hate about it.
I agree. Similarly, if you apply the "round corners" function in Illustrator it does not just affect the sharp corners. It also tries to round the parts that are already curved and thus distorts these lines
Nice.
Nice.
$600 software should already do this though.
