This one is messed up already.Īnd then please tell us exact system and version as well as steps on how to reproduce the bug.Īlso: bug report is on and not in this forum. So is your question about the inability to export at all ? Why does Adobe (and practically every other big company), release updates that break more than they fix? With the resources and money they have available, the least they could do, is have software that does what it's supposed to. As far as I'm concerned this is a bug, which should have been fixed a really long time ago. If the option is not available hide/remove it from the pop-up options. It is an option which is greyed out, so it should work - sometimes at least-, but simply does not. Thanks for the advice, but this should not be a feature request. I guess that means you guys don't need my money any longer.ĭoes it work when you export to a different location? Because my 'professional' software that I pay hundreds of dollars a year for can't handle a simple export, I'm going to have to download and learn FREE vector software instead (Inkscape). I've recently purchased a laser cutter/engraver and the only vector format it accepts is SVG. The majority of the time it does not export the full SVG-it creates a _T_ file and that's it-it never does anything with that file and no SVG is ever created. I just updated that one to the newest version, and it too is hit and miss. The other machine had been running Illustrator CC 2017 and the majority of the time wouldn't create anything when attempting to export SVG (not even a _T_ file). Since it had never had Illustrator on it, and has only had the supposedly fixed version, there should be no need to do any workarounds, resetting preferences and settings etc.

One of the machines had never had Illustrator on it until about a week ago, when the newest version was downloaded and installed fresh from CC (the newest version is months beyond when the fix was supposedly in place).

I have Illustrator on 2 systems, and exporting SVG's (via Export As, Export for Screens and Save As) is incredibly hit and miss.
