Why cant I save my Illustrator file?
Adobe Illustrator CC2015 and newer versions have auto-recovery feature as default. When Illustrator crashes or is not responding, force close the program and relaunch it and illustrator will ask you to open the auto-recovered documents from the last time it was saved. Once you open the recovered document, save it before you start working again. If you were working on a document that you are desperate to recover and are not sure if you had auto-save on, the best thing to do is wait for the
