The latest update (version 3.5) of ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud released today. This update includes significant enhancements, bug fixes, and new tools to explore. Below is a summary. For more details, see this blog article

New features and enhancements

  • Add content from an improved layer library, including an updated set of OpenStreetMap layers and vector tile basemaps.
  • Name your file on sync the first time you sync a map created in the extension.
  • Duplicate AIX-generated mapboards.
  • Beta — Create georeferenced PDFs with the extension when you sync a new map from the Compilation window or when you open an .aix file in Illustrator.  This beta feature can be used for testing purposes; it is not yet recommended for production use. Share your feedback here in the Community
  • Use the same name as your .aix file instead of getting an Untitled file.

  • BUG-000156147 Opening some Pro-generated AIX files fails in Illustrator 27.1 (Requires ArcGIS Pro 2.9.8 or later)
  • BUG-000159848 Patterns in Legend don’t display as expected 
  • Adding places to a map fails intermittently. Read more in this community post.
  • Choropleth layers do not sync as expected. Read more in this  community post.
  • Failure when signing into an ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 portal when the print service is configured with a leading space in its URL.
  • Mapboard in the Compilation window shows a mismatched extent when created with a specific size.
  • Error when adding boundary layers from Living Atlas of the World in ArcGIS Enterprise.
  • Failure to retain a basemap other than Topographic when duplicating a mapboard.
  • Esri logo and data attribution text do not align when syncing a mapboard with rotation.

We encourage you to download and upgrade to this latest version at your earliest convenience. (See Requirements for supported versions of Adobe apps.) We appreciate this community’s support and feedback and look forward to staying engaged to continue improving Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud.

Sincerely,
ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud team

Did the default location of mapboards saving locally on sync change? They no longer appear in Documents\Adobe on a normal install of the latest version, which prevents me from making changes after the first sync and exiting Illustrator.

Hi @SBushey_Dewberry 

With the 3.5 release, Maps for Adobe now gives users the flexibility to save files to any location.

You should be able to resolve the issue you're seeing by going to the location where you saved/closed your synced file in Illustrator...this may not necessarily be under Documents/Adobe.

Let me know if this helps!
