If I had a spare machine so I would keep using CS5, but I don't. So…anyone know any apps that can do the above? Seems simple enough, but I haven't found anything decent. Sketch is nice, but not at all what I need…sort of wish I did UI design or something after playing with it, though, it is very nice.

I don't want to get it under the assumption that it will work 'some day', though otherwise it looks great - and great price, too. Affinity Designer can't do 1 or 2, and from reading their forums it seems these are long requested items (at least 2 is). I've looked at several apps, and I can't find anything that does the above. If Adobe sold a standalone AI I'd get it, but they don't. I don't need any of the other apps in CC, and I use AI about once a month, so the ~50USD/mo subscription to CC is a non-starter.

From what I read it is broken under High Sierra using APFS, and I won't let this one app hold me back from updating indefinitely.
#ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS5 UPDATE UPDATE#
I'll continue using it till I update to 13.1 (not updating to 13 yet). TBH, I love AI CS5, it works well, is easy to use, and does exactly what I need. Select similar command (line style, fill, etc) that is absolutely crucial Ability to import DWG files, and keep layers intact Ģ.

#ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS5 UPDATE MAC#
I'm not an artist, I'm an engineer that uses it to tidy up presentation output from ACAD and analysis apps (and yes, we use a Mac for this) and the like. New update to 10.13 will break it, and it obviously won't be updated (nor do I expect it to be - it is what, 5 years old?). Ok Mac Ach hivemind, I need help finding a replacement for AI CS5.
