We are excited to announce version 3.8 of ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud. Enhance your creative projects with the latest feature introduced with the November update.
ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud is for creative professionals who want to design data-driven maps in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. This update brings new features designed to enhance your mapping experience. Here's what's new:
- Update to the latest software—Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud now supports Adobe Illustrator 2025, Adobe Photoshop 2025, ArcGIS Pro 3.4, ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4, and the latest update of ArcGIS Online.
- Convert ArcGIS point symbols into Adobe Illustrator symbols—When you open .aix files from ArcGIS Pro, you are now prompted with the option to convert ArcGIS point symbols into Adobe Illustrator symbols. Adobe Illustrator symbols are reusable graphic elements, meaning you can edit all instances of a symbol at the same time. You can turn on this new setting on the General tab in the Application Settings window.
- Replace raster symbols with vector symbols—You can now use the Symbols process to replace raster point symbols with vector symbols from an Adobe Illustrator symbols library.
- New Adobe Illustrator symbols library—When you install the extension, your download includes the World Navigation.ai symbols library, which contains vector versions of all the highway shields in the World Navigation vector basemap. You can find this library in the Adobe Illustrator files under Presets > en_US > Symbols > ArcGIS Maps.
- Improved vector tile point layer structure—All the points in a vector tile layer now appear in one sublayer and all the labels appear in another, allowing you to easily select and edit all points or all labels.
- Legacy mapping profile deprecation—The Legacy mapping profile is now retired.
