While the Type tool edits type, `undo` and `redo` put its caret, with no characters selected, at the end of the text the step changed: after the text it puts back or retypes, or where the text it takes out was. A step that changes no characters, such as a formatting change, leaves the caret and the selection where they are. |

- **Transform effect options (#885):** Effect › Distort & Transform › Transform… has visible Transform Objects, Transform Patterns and Scale Strokes & Effects checkboxes (`distort.transform` params `objects`, `patterns`, `strokes`; files without them draw as before). With Transform Objects off the geometry stays and makes no copies; Scale Strokes & Effects scales stroke weights, dashes and the fills' and strokes' effect distances by the mean scale, and Transform Patterns moves pattern tiles, each copy `k` by the transformation `k` times. Such objects draw, export and expand through the same per-copy art, so the canvas and Expand Appearance agree (engine `tests_transformfx`, effects `tests_transformfx`, the dialog test). A Transform effect in a fill's or stroke's own effects applies the same options to that fill or stroke: its weight and dashes and its pattern follow the transformation, and with copies each copy is an object of its own; the canvas, export, Expand Appearance and Use Preview Bounds use the same art (effects `tests_transformfx`). The effects listed after it in that fill's or stroke's list keep their own distances and apply to the transformed art and to each copy, as an object's later effects do after the object's Transform effect: a Drop Shadow after it keeps its offset, an Offset Path after it offsets by its own distance, and an SVG filter after it keeps its scale and the origin of its user space. With Transform Objects off, the effects before it keep their distances too. Before, Scale Strokes & Effects scaled a fill's or stroke's later effects by the mean scale, so existing documents with such effects draw differently. Effects apply in the order they are listed ([Appearance attributes](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-graphic-styles/appearance-attributes-in-illustrator.html)); how the two options treat the effects after a fill's or stroke's own Transform effect is VectorCraft's own rule, following that order (effects `tests::rasterfollow::a_fills_own_transform_leaves_the_shadow_after_it`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_fills_own_transform_leaves_the_offset_after_it`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_fills_own_transform_leaves_the_svg_filter_after_it`, `tests::transformfx::a_fills_own_transform_with_scale_strokes_and_effects_leaves_its_later_effects`; engine `plugins::a_transform_after_a_painted_fill_effect_leaves_the_later_shadow_on_every_paint`).

- **Raster effects before a Transform effect:** effects apply in the order they are listed ([Appearance attributes](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-graphic-styles/appearance-attributes-in-illustrator.html)). A Drop Shadow, glow, blur, Feather or pixel filter listed before a Transform effect in the same list (an object's effects, or a fill's or stroke's own) now follows that Transform effect: its sizes scale by the mean scale, and a Drop Shadow's offset turns, reflects and scales with the art. VectorCraft applies this rule with Scale Strokes & Effects on or off. Before, such an effect was drawn at its own distances around the transformed art. The canvas, export, Expand Appearance, Object › Expand, Outline Stroke and the 3D effects use the same values (effects `tests::rasterfollow`; render `a_transform_after_a_drop_shadow_scales_the_shadow_with_the_art`; engine `objexpand::a_shadow_before_a_transform_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`, `outlinestroke::a_shadow_before_a_transform_outlines_as_the_canvas_draws_it`).

Scores and hours unchanged.

||||
- **Raster effects before a Transform effect that makes copies:** the Transform effect can make copies with its transformation applied ([the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html)). Giving each copy the raster effects listed before that effect is VectorCraft's own rule. On a path or compound path, each copy now carries the Drop Shadow, glow, blur, Feather or pixel filter listed before the last Transform effect that makes copies, with its sizes scaled by that copy's mean scale and a Drop Shadow's offset turned, reflected and scaled with the copy; a raster effect listed after it paints once around all the copies. Before, one shadow was drawn under all the copies at the object's own distances. The canvas, the object's bounds, export and Expand Appearance draw the same copies, and copies that stop at the effect budget each keep their effects (effects `tests::rasterfollow::each_copy_of_a_transform_effect_carries_the_shadow_listed_before_it`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_shadow_after_a_copying_transform_paints_once_around_the_copies`, `tests::rasterfollow::copies_past_the_budget_each_keep_their_shadow`; render `objectfx::each_copy_of_a_transform_effect_draws_its_own_shadow`; engine `objexpand::each_copys_shadow_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`). A Transform effect without copies draws as before. Not yet: the copies of type, images, symbol instances and groups, and a fill's or stroke's own copying Transform effect, still share one set of raster effects, and so does a path with Rasterize, an SVG filter or another effect that is neither a geometry effect nor one of those raster effects before the copying effect. Scores and hours unchanged.
|
||||
- **Raster effects before a Transform effect past the effect budget:** VectorCraft leaves out a Transform effect whose result would pass its geometry budget of 2 million anchors or 8 million lines drawn, and the art stays where it was. The raster effects listed before that Transform effect now stay with the art too: a Drop Shadow keeps its own offset and blur, and the Transform effects after it that fit still move both. Before, the art stayed while the shadow scaled with the Transform effect it did not take. This is VectorCraft's own rule. It applies to a path's own effects and to its fills' and strokes' own, also when the path is in a group whose geometry effects run after its members' own, on the canvas and in its bounds, in export, Expand Appearance, Object › Expand and Outline Stroke, and a hidden shadow keeps its values once shown (effects `tests::rasterfollow::a_transform_past_the_line_budget_moves_the_art_with_its_shadow`, `tests::rasterfollow::only_transforms_that_ran_move_a_preceding_shadow`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_skipped_item_transform_keeps_its_shadow`, `tests::rasterfollow::the_shape_art_of_a_skipped_transform_keeps_its_shadows`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_members_skipped_transform_keeps_its_shadow_under_its_groups_effects`; render `objectfx::a_shadow_before_a_skipped_transform_reaches_as_far_as_it_is_drawn`, `fx::renderer::tests::a_path_paints_from_the_transforms_that_moved_it`; engine `objexpand::a_shadow_before_a_skipped_transform_expands_with_its_own_offset`).

- **Raster effects inside an object or group with a Transform effect:** effects applied to a group affect everything in it ([Appearance attributes](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-graphic-styles/appearance-attributes-in-illustrator.html)). How a Transform effect changes the raster effects inside a group or object is VectorCraft's own rule. A group's Transform effect that moves it once now transforms the raster effects of its members, of their fills and strokes, of nested groups and of the art of the linked opacity masks in it, after the members' own Transform effects. A raster effect that a member's own Transform effect with copies or random holds back keeps its value through that effect and still transforms with the group's. VectorCraft applies the same rule to the raster effects of an object's fills and strokes under the object's Transform effect. Sizes scale by the mean scale and a Drop Shadow's offset turns, reflects and scales, with Scale Strokes & Effects on or off. Before, they kept their values, or with Scale Strokes & Effects on scaled by the mean scale with the offset unturned. A group's or object's Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random leaves them as before. The canvas, the redraw region, export, Expand Appearance, Object › Expand and Outline Stroke use the same values (effects `tests::rasterfollow`, `group::tests::a_compound_shapes_transform_turns_its_fills_shadow`; render `a_transform_scales_the_shadows_of_fills_and_members_with_the_art`; engine `objexpand::a_fills_shadow_under_the_objects_transform_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`, `objexpand::shadows_under_a_groups_or_an_objects_transform_expand_appearance_as_the_canvas_draws_them`, `outlinestroke::a_strokes_shadow_under_the_objects_transform_outlines_as_the_canvas_draws_it`).

- **A group's geometry effects after its members' own:** effects applied to a group affect everything in it, and effects apply in the order they are listed ([Appearance attributes](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-graphic-styles/appearance-attributes-in-illustrator.html)). Running a group's effects after its members' own is VectorCraft's own rule. The geometry effects of a group or layer (the effects that reshape outlines, such as Distort & Transform, Offset Path and Warp) now reshape what its members draw: the geometry effects of each visible path and compound path in it and of their fills and strokes, and a nested group's own geometry and Pathfinder effects, run first, at any depth. A symbol instance's own geometry effects run after those of its symbol's members in the same way. Before, the group's effects reshaped the members' outlines and the members' own effects ran afterwards: a 100 pt square with its own 10 pt Offset Path in a group with a 50% Transform drew 70 pt wide, and it now draws 60 pt wide. Existing documents with such groups draw differently. The canvas, export, Expand Appearance and the art that Pathfinder operations and compound shapes take from such a group use the same order (effects `group::tests::a_members_own_offset_runs_before_its_groups_scale`, `group::tests::a_members_own_scale_runs_before_its_groups_offset`, `group::tests::a_member_of_a_plain_nested_group_takes_its_own_effects_first`, `group::tests::a_nested_groups_own_effects_run_before_its_groups`, `group::tests::a_nested_groups_pathfinder_runs_before_its_groups_effects`, `group::tests::a_members_fill_effects_run_before_its_groups`, `group::tests::shape_art_of_a_group_applies_its_members_effects_first`, `group::tests::a_symbol_instances_effects_run_after_its_symbols_members_own`, `group::tests::a_baked_group_applies_its_members_effects_first`, `group::tests::a_baked_group_that_keeps_its_type_applies_its_members_effects_first`, `tests::rasterfollow::a_groups_transform_applies_after_its_members_own`; engine `objexpand::a_groups_effects_after_its_members_own_expand_as_the_canvas_draws_them`). Not yet: the own geometry effects of images, symbol instances, paths with a linked opacity mask or a 3D effect, and nested groups with a 3D effect in the group still run after the group's.

The dropdown is off while Global Edit is on; it sits after Recolor Artwork, ahead of the X/Y/W/H fields ([Edit similar objects globally](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/edit-objects/edit-similar-objects.html)).

- **Start Global Edit is offered only for a group it can start on:** with a group selected, Select › Start Global Edit is disabled, and the Properties panel's Quick Actions and the Control bar do not offer it or its options, when the group holds type, an image or nothing, at any depth; the check walks the group's objects the same way, stopping at the first one Global Edit does not take.

Under VectorCraft's own rules, a copy's angle is the one that lays the selected object's anchors and handles on the copy's in order, each within a millionth of the larger side of the copy's box; a reflected copy is not taken; and with Size, a rotated copy has the same size when it is the object rotated without scaling.

Dragging the bar's gripper and releasing it within 24 points of the top (under the menu bar) or the bottom of the window docks it at that edge, with a band along that edge while it moves; releasing it farther from both edges floats the bar there, with its outline under the pointer while it moves, and a floating bar's gripper moves it or docks it again (`window.control.dock {edge: "top"|"bottom"|"float"}`), as the help page describes ([Control panel overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/control-panel-overview.html)). Escape cancels a gripper drag. The 24-point zones, the floating bar's 800-point width and first position, a release outside the window leaving the bar where it was, a window too short for a floating bar docking it at the nearer edge, the floating bar staying inside a window that shrinks, and keeping the edge and the floating position with the workspace, with older workspaces docking the bar at their edge, are VectorCraft's own rules.

- **Blend steps of brushed strokes:** the steps interpolate the pen pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation recorded with the Paintbrush, so a Calligraphic, Scatter or Art brush that varies with the pen changes gradually from one key to the next. A key without a recording counts as half pressure, half tilt and 0°, as brushes read it, and angles turn the shorter way round. When the blend starts a key's path at another anchor (an open path run from its end, a closed one turned to another start), the key's recordings, width profile and arrowheads turn with the path. Different brushes still switch halfway (VectorCraft's own rule; strokes blend their options, as [Blended objects overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-colors/apply-transparency-and-blending/blended-objects-overview.html) describes; `crates/doc/src/blend.rs`, `pen_pressure_tilt_and_angles_interpolate_for_brushes`, `stroke_profiles_turn_with_a_key_path_started_elsewhere`).

- **Blend steps of spot gradients with process plates:** when the matching stops of two gradients, or of a gradient and a solid, are tints of one spot swatch, each step's stop stays linked to it at a tint between the two and keeps the process inks printed with it, each of C, M, Y and K between the two stops' amounts; a stop or solid without process inks counts as none of each. Gradients with different stop counts keep the inks at every resampled stop. PDF export writes such a step as one DeviceN shading of the spot and process inks. Tints of one spot color blend into tints of it, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-colors/apply-transparency-and-blending/blended-objects-overview.html) describes; the process-ink interpolation is VectorCraft's own rule (`crates/doc/src/blend.rs`, `blend_gradient_spot_process_plates_interpolate`, `resampled_gradient_spot_process_plates_interpolate`, `blend_gradient_missing_plates_mean_zero`, `blend_solid_to_spot_gradient_does_not_copy_plates`; `crates/pdf/src/tests/output.rs`, `blend_steps_between_spot_gradients_with_process_plates_print_both_inks`).

- **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). Join merges the selected anchor points that lie on one another, as after Average, into one anchor (#1582, fixes #1533), and removes the merged anchors in one pass over the path, so a long run of them no longer moves the anchors after it once per merge (`cmd::path::tests::a_long_run_before_many_other_anchors_merges_in_one_pass`); Object › Path › Average & Join… (`path.averageJoin`, Cmd+Alt+Shift+J, the "Create corner or smooth join" shortcut of [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html)) moves two open path ends to their midpoint and joins them there, a corner or smooth point as its dialog's Points choice asks, in one undo step.

Graph types combine: Graph Type on series picked with Group Selection (or `series` indexes) draws them as their own type, with column, stacked column, line and area mixing on the vertical value axis and bar and stacked bar on the horizontal one; stacked columns take one slot of the cluster, lines draw in front of columns and areas behind.

An Eyedropper pick that includes transparency and leaves a mark's top fill or stroke row without paint, or removes that row when the source has no row of that kind, where that row had paint before, also replaces the opacity and blend mode the graph keeps for that kind of row in the series; a row that had no paint before the pick leaves them as they are.

When a Smooth tool drag reaches the first anchor of a closed path, the smoothed path starts at its point nearest where that anchor was: at an anchor there, or at a new anchor split into the curve without changing its outline. Dashes and type on the path start from that point. A drag that does not reach the first anchor leaves it first. This is VectorCraft's own rule (engine tests `smoothing_over_a_closed_paths_first_anchor_keeps_its_start` and `smoothing_a_whole_closed_path_with_a_spike_keeps_its_start`).
|
||||
The Smooth tool shows the Not Allowed cursor while no path is selected that it can act on (an editable path, not a guide, with three or more anchors on one of its subpaths or two anchors joined by a curve), and the release of a drag then sends no command and changes nothing; [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/smooth-tool.html) has the path selected first. A selected path anywhere on the canvas gives the Smooth cursor wherever the pointer is. The Pencil with Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool on and the Blob Brush show Not Allowed the same way when Alt gives them the Smooth tool; the Paintbrush keeps its closing cursor, since its release with Alt closes the stroke. Use Precise Cursors leaves Not Allowed as it is. This cursor rule is VectorCraft's own (tools `smooth_shows_not_allowed_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`, `borrowed_smooth_shows_not_allowed_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`, `smoothing_release_sends_nothing_without_a_selected_path_to_smooth`; engine `use_precise_cursors_keeps_the_smooth_tools_not_allowed_pointer`).
|
||||
When a Smooth tool drag reaches the first or last anchor of an open path, that anchor stays where it is and the curve there leaves or arrives along the smoothed path within the reach, so a jagged first or last segment no longer sets the end's direction; an end where the smoothed path turns back by 90° or more keeps its segment's direction, and where the refitted stretch ends inside the path the curve keeps the direction of the part outside the drag. This rule is VectorCraft's own (`tests/draw2.rs`, `smoothing_an_open_path_turns_its_jagged_ends_with_the_path` and `a_smooth_drag_turns_only_the_end_it_reaches`).
|

A Smooth tool drag keeps a corner where the path turns by more than 57.5° (an angle inside the corner under 122.5°) and rounds a wider one. An anchor is kept as a corner when the path turns by that much at the anchor and also over the drag's reach and over twice the reach on either side of it, so a jag or a bump smaller than the reach is still smoothed; [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/refine-paths.html) describes the tool as reducing irregularities in a path. The stretches on either side of a kept corner are smoothed and refitted on their own, and the corner keeps its place and the directions the path arrives and leaves along, on every drag, on open and closed paths, the anchor a closed path starts at included. A drag that changes no anchor adds no undo step. The threshold and the two distances are VectorCraft's own values, the same on every drag and at any Fidelity (`tests/draw2.rs`, `the_smooth_tool_keeps_corners_sharper_than_its_threshold`, `smoothing_a_closed_path_keeps_its_corners` and `a_smooth_drag_that_only_meets_corners_adds_no_undo_step`).
|
||||
A Smooth drag along a curved segment smooths the stretch of it in the drag's reach even when neither of the segment's anchors is in reach, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/refine-paths.html) describes dragging along the path segment; the segment is cut where the drag enters and leaves the reach, and the parts outside keep their shape (`path.smoothRegion`). Paths of two anchors are smoothed too, and Alt with the Paintbrush smooths a selected two-anchor curve; a two-anchor straight line still gets the closed stroke. How the reach is found on a segment (samples no more than half the reach apart) is VectorCraft's own, and a straight segment is left as it is.

Before a press that draws a new path, the Pencil cursor shows a small star, as [Draw freeform paths with the Pencil tool](https://web.archive.org/web/20260926095638/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/draw-freeform-paths-with-the-pencil-tool.html) describes; over a selected path within Edit selected paths' distance, which the press continues from an end or redraws, the star is not shown ([Reshape paths with the Pencil tool](https://web.archive.org/web/20260106004407/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/draw-shapes/reshape-paths-with-the-pencil-tool.html)).

Keep selected in the Pencil and Paintbrush Tool Options is on by default: while it is on, a stroke selects the path it draws or continues and replaces the earlier selection. While it is off, a new stroke leaves nothing selected, the earlier selection included, as the reference application starts the stroke by dropping it (#5752); a continued or redrawn path is deselected while the rest of the selection stays (`path.freehand` `keepSelected`).

The Blob Brush Tool Options' tip preview is the Angle slider for screen readers, with the Angle in degrees as its value: a click or a drag in it points the Angle at the pointer and gives it the keyboard focus, Tab reaches it after the Roundness field, and the arrow keys step the Angle by 1° (10° with Shift, Home and End to −180° and 180°).

The range and default are VectorCraft's own values: the Pencil's logarithmic slider from Accurate (0.01 pt) to Smooth (20 pt) and its field (up to 100 pt), 1.5 pt by default and kept with the tool's options. The brush follows the stroke fitted at the Fidelity, as a Pencil stroke is fitted: a low value follows the drag closely, jitter included, and a higher one gives smoother curves (`path.blob` `fidelity`).

A Blob Brush stroke merges with the topmost path of its fill color and no stroke that it touches, and with the other such paths it touches in the same group or layer that are next to that path in stacking order with no other kind of object between them; matching paths in other groups or layers are left alone, as the Blob Brush tool guidelines in [Paint with fills and strokes](https://web.archive.org/web/20241219085603/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/painting-fills-strokes.html) describe (`path.blob`).

- **Layers panel:** every layer, sublayer, group and object is a clickable row at any depth: a click highlights it and makes its layer current (new art goes there), Shift-click a range, Ctrl/Cmd-click toggles. Sublayers are no longer treated as objects: clicks, marquees, Select All and the Select menu take the art inside them, and each sublayer selects in its own colour. Selection squares on rows with selected art (click selects a row's art, Shift adds or removes; dragging the square moves the selection to another row, Alt copies), the eye and lock on every row with drag-down-the-column (one undo step), Ctrl/Cmd-click an eye for per-layer Outline, Alt-click an eye or lock to hide or lock the other layers (again: show or unlock them all), triangles with Alt to open or close everything inside, drag and drop rows above, below or into layers and groups with a drop line (Alt copies) and a dimmed copy of the row under the pointer (layers dropped in the empty space under the last row go below the bottom layer, #2260; dropped on the trash rows are deleted, on New Layer duplicated, as in Illustrator), inline rename, Delete key on highlighted rows. Buttons and the full panel menu: New Layer/Sublayer (Alt: options, Ctrl: on top), Duplicate, Delete, Options for Selection, clipping mask, isolation, Locate Object, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer, Collect for Export (As Single Asset, As Multiple Assets), Release to Layers (Sequence and Build), Reverse Order, Template, Hide/Outline/Lock Others and Show/Preview/Unlock All, Paste Remembers Layers, Panel Options (row size, thumbnails per kind, Show Layers Only). Right-clicking a layer, sublayer, group or object row offers Collect for Export for that row, or for every highlighted row when it is one of them; guide and blend spine rows have no context menu. Layer Options: name, colour (presets, each with a chip of its colour, or custom), Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview (outline drawing and clicking) and Dim Images to %. Every operation is a command (`layer.move`, `layer.highlight`, `layer.merge`…) with validation against cycles and invalid nesting. A document opens with only its top-level layers open; the rows left open are saved in the native file (nothing is written for the default) and reopen that way. Only the rows scrolled into view are laid out, from a row list made once per change: a layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths, all open, draws the panel in 0.4 ms a frame instead of about 29 s (#638).

These rules are VectorCraft's own: a missing sublayer is made inside its layer (a missing layer on top, with the sublayer inside it), in the paste's one undo step; of layers with the same names, the topmost chain that matches the most names wins, a shown and unlocked one first; a matched layer that is hidden or locked, or inside one that is, refuses the paste, and nothing is pasted.

The OpenType panel's Position menu lists Default Position, Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator, as [Format text with OpenType features](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/format-text-with-opentype-features.html) describes; Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator set `sups`, `subs`, `numr` and `dnom` for the selected type and turn the other three off, and Default Position turns all four off. The menu shows Mixed when the characters it acts on differ, and an entry chosen then applies to all of them. These two rules are VectorCraft's own, as is setting the feature on type whose font lacks the glyphs, which then draws unchanged. The panel's menus and checkboxes change only their own features on each selected character, so characters keep their other OpenType features (`text.setStyle` and `text.setRangeStyle` `{featureChanges}`). Tests: `panels::opentype::tests`, `features::tests::numerators_and_denominators_are_kept_and_shaped`.

The Glyphs panel's Show menu and panel menu have Alternates for Current Selection, as [Replace characters with alternate glyphs](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/replace-characters-with-alternate-glyphs.html) describes. The grid lists the selected character's alternate glyphs from `GSUB` single and alternate substitutions of `aalt`, then `salt`, `ss01` to `ss20`, `swsh`, `cv01` to `cv99` and a few other alternate features, each glyph once. A double-click applies the feature that draws the variant, or a glyph choice if no supported feature draws it, as detailed below. The list uses the font of the character's text even when the panel browses another font, and the panel shows a note when the character has no alternates, its font is missing or no character is selected; these rules are VectorCraft's own. Native files keep a glyph choice with the face it was made in; another font or version draws the default glyph. Tests: `panels::glyphs::tests`, `tests::alternates`, `tests::textedit::a_glyph_alternate_replaces_one_character_through_undo_and_reopen`.
|
||||
The Glyphs panel's Alternates for Current Selection (#5514) applies the OpenType feature that draws the glyph to the selected character alone, as [Replace characters with alternate glyphs](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/replace-characters-with-alternate-glyphs.html) describes (Alternates For Current Selection in the Show menu; double-click the glyph to replace the selected character). One deliberate difference from a literal reading: the text keeps the Unicode character and gains a character-style feature with a value (`salt=2`, `ss03`; `text.setRangeStyle {featureChanges}`) instead of taking an unencoded glyph in its place. The grid lists the alternates of the glyph the shaper makes for the character in its word (a medial letter shows its medial variants; the default glyph comes first and the current glyph is highlighted); a variant no supported feature draws there stays enabled as a replacement glyph (`text.setGlyphAlternate`, including positional alternates), and its tooltip says it may not join its neighbors; the default glyph takes the character's alternate features off again. Runs that differ only in their OpenType features are shaped as one piece of text, each run's features over its own characters, so the letters of an Arabic word keep their joining forms. Show › Entire Font also lists the glyphs no character maps, with the font's name for them (or `gid N`) and the feature that gives them. It applies the selected letter's contextual alternates the same way, and applies a glyph no feature reaches whose name does not belong to another letter as a glyph choice; other glyphs are dimmed with the reason. An Arabic presentation form picked there inserts its base letter. These rules are VectorCraft's own. Tests: `tests::glyph_alternates` in the text crate (a fixture font; Kufi Murabba PIIIX when it is installed), `panels::glyphs::tests` (including positional glyph choices, unlisted glyph name ownership, apply and Undo), `tests::textedit::feature_values_are_set_replaced_and_saved`.

With a Type tool and exactly one character selected, the canvas shows that character's alternate glyphs in a row beside it, and a click on one replaces the character's glyph, as [Replace characters with alternate glyphs](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/replace-characters-with-alternate-glyphs.html) describes ("Replace a character with on-canvas alternate glyphs"). The row shows at most five alternates, and an arrow at its end opens the Glyphs panel on Alternates for Current Selection when the character has more, as the [reference manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20210601162814/https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf#page=479) describes. A click runs the command the panel's double-click runs, as one undo step, so a letter of an Arabic word keeps the word joined. These rules are VectorCraft's own: the row leaves out the glyph the character is drawn with and puts the default glyph first for a character drawn with an alternate; it stands under a character of horizontal type and on the right of a character of vertical type, or on the other side when the canvas ends there or the Contextual Task Bar is there; Preferences › Type › Show Character Alternates (`showCharacterAlternates`, on by default) turns it off. Tests: `canvas::alternates_bar::tests`, `tests::prefs::show_character_alternates_preference_is_on_by_default_and_saved`.

The OpenType panel's Stylistic Sets menu offers `ss01`–`ss20` sets present in the selected text's font, using the font's custom labels when available and numbered labels otherwise. Sets can be combined and deselected individually. With mixed fonts, the menu shows the first selected character's font's sets and applies the feature tag to all selected text; a font without that set draws unchanged. The mixed-font rule is a VectorCraft design choice. Behavior reference: [Add stylistic sets to selected text](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/add-stylistic-sets-to-selected-text.html) and the [OpenType specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/features_pt).
|
||||
`text.setStyle {stroke, strokeWidth}` sets the character stroke's color and weight of the selected type or of a range of its characters (the weight in document points, as `stroke.set` sets it), in the same undo step as the command's other changes. Tests: `tests::textedit::set_style_sets_the_character_stroke`.

The selected art keeps its paint. As VectorCraft's own rules, the option is on at first, the arrows step the stroke when the Stroke proxy is in front, they wrap around at the ends and still step with the preview off, a color that is no swatch shows alone until Right picks the first swatch or Left the last, and the arrows do nothing during a fill drag or with no color swatch.

Live Paint Make preserves the front-most covering source's fill when compound paths share a curved boundary, and Expand keeps the face fills.

As VectorCraft's own rule, a face or edge draws when it is shown, its opacity is above 0, and any of its fill or stroke rows is shown, has paint and an opacity above 0 (a stroke also needs a weight above 0), whichever row is on top: a painted lower row under an unpainted top row is kept, and a part whose only painted row is hidden is removed. Merge copies the fill and stroke rows, visibility, opacity and blending mode of each face that draws by this rule, and of each edge, to the rebuilt parts, with their gradients kept at their fit on the old outline and without the strokes' pen pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation.

An offset past the -1000 to 1000 pt the reader keeps is written as the nearer end of that range. On a large canvas the offset is written at the art's scale and comes back at its size. Art the writer draws for an object, such as a blend's steps or a symbol instance written as its art, has only that object's options, and a clipping path written as its fills and its strokes has its options once (`crates/eps/src/ai_editing/tests.rs` `text_wrap_options_are_written_and_read_back`, `drawn_art_keeps_only_its_objects_text_wrap`, `text_wrap_offsets_on_a_large_canvas_come_back_at_their_size`, `text_wrap_options_of_type_and_envelopes_are_read_back`, `a_clipping_path_written_as_its_paint_keeps_one_text_wrap`).

In a `.ai` or EPS opened from its editing data, type has its text object's opacity, blend mode and knockout shape flag, whether it is made from the file's text document or taken from the page, and type made from the text document takes its text object's lock. Where such type has transparency and comes in with other art (the rest of its look, or page type and strokes that go with it), a group of them has it. Where the page draws its type, or the strokes around it, with transparency that is neither its text object's nor its text object's combined with that of the objects around it, the page's type and strokes keep their own instead (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`). Where the page draws type of no text object over text objects made from the text document, with their words in any case, that type is theirs as the page draws it and is left out; the page's other type of no text object goes only to text objects whose type the text document can't make, or else is left out with a warning.

`.ai` editing-data import restores the document's listed graphic styles in panel order and links objects that use a listed style; unsupported appearances keep their drawn look (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`).

A `.ai` or EPS graphic style library, whose editing data holds the styles and their list but no layers, opens with those styles in list order. Other Library… loads another document's graphic styles ([Apply graphic styles](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-graphic-styles/apply-graphic-styles.html)) and lists such a library's styles in a library panel. A `.ai` or EPS read as its PDF part or page because its layers can't be used also gets the styles of its list in place of the default ones (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`, `cmd::fileio::tests_aiimport::a_graphic_style_library_in_a_ai_file_without_layers_loads_its_styles`).

`document.exportSelection` run without params (a shortcut) takes the same route after its save panel: a picked PDF opens the Save PDF dialog without its Artboards section, and SVG, the raster formats, EPS, DXF, text and exporter plug-ins with parameters open their options, whose OK writes the selection alone, cropped to it, with the chosen options (`crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests_export_selection.rs`).

A `.ai` export with Use Artboards off writes one page of the visible art's bounds without the native document or the editing copy for other apps, with a warning, so the file does not reopen with one artboard in place of the document's; without PDF content it is refused (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_pdfedit.rs`).
|

That page, and an HP-GL plot of the art's bounds, are measured on the art the file draws: non-printing layers the PDF or `.ai` file leaves out do not make it larger, and nor do the non-printing layers, objects at 0% opacity, placed images, clear gradient meshes and unpainted paths a plot leaves out; Export As refuses an HP-GL plot of nothing it draws before the save dialog (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_pdf.rs`, `crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_hpgl.rs`, `crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/tests_export.rs`).

PDF export warns when a PDF/X file has no bleed on a side where the document's bleed has one, and writes the file as asked.

In a PDF without a standard, the warning for a page longer than 14,400 pt written with a `UserUnit` names "Write pages longer than 200 in at full size in points" (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_pdf.rs`).
|

A PDF/A-2b export at PDF 1.4 with a page longer than 14,400 pt is written as PDF 1.6 with a `UserUnit` and a warning, whether or not `longPagesInPoints` is on, so its page boundaries stay within PDF/A-2's limit of 14,400 units (ISO 19005-2, 6.1.13) unless the page is too narrow for that (`crates/pdf/src/tests/marks.rs`).

- Import and paste, 2026-10-13: a multi-artboard `.ai` with notes beside its artboards opens from its editing data, a page's art past its artboard no longer lying over the page before it (#1528); a `.ai` gradient whose stops are listed upwards keeps each midpoint on the stop that starts its part of the ramp (#1530); SVG text on a path follows basic shapes (circle, ellipse, rect, line, polyline, polygon) as their SVG 2 equivalent paths (#1531, fixes #1527); PDFs whose alpha soft masks are drawn as images import with the mask instead of empty art (#1551); EPS and PostScript type set in Type 42 (TrueType) fonts imports at its size instead of 1000 times too large (#1553); PDF and EPS import keep a clipping path whose bounding box covers the page but whose shape doesn't (#1544, fixes #1542). Opening or placing a file with an image too large to decode says so, and the Links panel shows it on the row (#1540, part of #1479). Paste takes a PDF or EPS another app copied as editable vector art: from the macOS pasteboard (with SVG), EPS on Windows beside PDF, and `.eps` files copied in a file manager, with the new command `clipboard.importEps` (#1538, fixes #1499).
|
||||
- A `.ai` or `.ait` file copied in a file manager pastes as its art: one that holds a PDF pastes the objects of its editing data, and one saved as PostScript pastes as a copied `.eps` file does.
|
||||
- Paste checks the size of a file copied in a file manager before reading it: a file of more than 64 MiB, VectorCraft's own limit, is skipped and the next copied file that is art pastes. A file that grows past the limit while it is read is skipped too, after at most one byte more than the limit is read.
|
||||
- A copied `.ai` or `.ait` file that holds a PDF pastes the objects of its editing data as File › Open reads them: every layer's objects go into the active layer in their stacking order, with their names, hidden objects and type objects, instead of the PDF page's art with its type as outlines. When the editing data can't be read, the file pastes its page as before (`clipboard.importPdf {editingData}`). The objects of a hidden layer come in hidden, from a pasted EPS too.

PDF open no longer takes exponential time on a crafted name tree with shared nodes when it looks for the editing data (#1781).

- **Objects on Path measures its path once:** placing the objects, finding one object's place and transforming the group flatten each path once and use it both for the path's length and for the points along it, where they flattened it two or three times before; a request for an object past the last one returns nothing without flattening the path, and a move of the group flattens no path. A path whose length adds up past the largest finite number no longer counts as one objects can be attached to. Evidence: `objects_on_path::tests::{stops_and_stop_flatten_the_path_once, transforming_the_group_flattens_each_path_once, placing_the_objects_flattens_the_path_once, a_path_too_long_to_measure_is_not_attachable}` in `crates/doc`.

Before, each widget flattened the path two or three times, and one pointer move over the group could flatten it eleven times. A drag of the Space, Move All or Select/Move widget keeps the measurement it started with and measures again only when the path changes, where it flattened the path twice on every pointer move. The widgets' places, what the pointer hits, the cursors and what each drag changes stay the same. Evidence: `objects_on_path::tests::{each_widget_lookup_flattens_the_path_once, the_widgets_of_a_group_share_one_flattening, a_widget_drag_flattens_the_path_once, a_widget_drag_follows_a_path_that_changed}` in `crates/tools`.
