export for screens - file name as prefix option
Add a checkbox to allow the current file name to be used as the prefix in the export for screens dialogue, similar to the functionality in InDesign.
Currently you need to manually copy/paste the filename into the prefix box.
Also if the prefix box could be made larger that would be great - it only has room for approx. 10 characters at the moment, and naming conventions mean that our filenames are often much longer than that.
Cheers!

There should be a way to Unlock All items in opacity masks
Stock agencies reject artworks if they have locked items in their opacity masks.
It means that these agencies probably have automated solutions to check for issues like that... meanwhile, Illustrator, the leading software to create vector artwork, has none.
The workaround would be to check each potential object manually, or use scripts that still have no chance to fully check the problem because of certain limitations.Basically we need a strong Preflight tools. There are some (like Vector Inspector Pro), but a native one could be faster and more efficient, if done correctly.

Align to bleed
Have an align to bleed option, anything going to print generally has a 3mm bleed and it would be handy to bet things to align to this instead of the edge of the artboard.

Magic Grid
Hi!
I would like to have a new tool: a kind of semi-elastic placement aid. Our team designs packagings and often has to adapt layouts to new die cuts, so objects often have to be moved, but must not change in size themselves. Sometimes a logo exists in three different sizes, which must be chosen depending on the total height. In addition, they must adhere to minimum distances, which may also not be scaled. However, the design often follows a grid, e.g. a logo must be on the vertical at 5/13 of the total height. So I imagine a kind…

Object repeat: whole objects only
When I use object repeat, I want the option for the boundary box to hold only full objects.
The attached image is a repeat of the two top left most circles. I want to create a pattern of these, but only have full circles.
To create the image with full circles only, I needed to create two entire rows of circles and to repeat them.

Allow Magic Wand to select items only currently visible in the viewport
it would be super helpful if the Magic Wand could be set to only select what you can see on screen currently. This way you won't accidentally select an item without knowing.

Add pattern filled object to swatch box to create a new pattern
This is very essential for the fashion industry.
As of now, it's not possible to create a seamless pattern with a pattern filled object and add it as a swatch.
We either have to expand the filled object or rasterize the pattern filled object to able to add to the swatch box. It's hindering because we can't recolor easily.
This option should be added.5 votes -
Straighten/unrotate object
As far as I can tell, there's no way to re-straighten an object after rotating it. There's nothing retaining what the degree of rotation was. That would be really helpful.

Support for ARIA in SVG (accessibility)
There are a couple of requests for improvements to SVG export, which is sorely needed. One important aspect of this is accessibility.
SVG use is increasing, and accessibility requirements are being mandated in jurisdictions around the globe.
There will be a growing need for people to produce accessible SVG files.
This calls for supporting ARIA roles states and properties, and some way to indicate tabindex.
A number of constraints can be imagined to prevent people doing the wrong thing (e.g. if you put tabindex=0 on a non-operable element), but the basic functionality is far more basic.
Select object.

Can we please get Image Trace by Color option
Can we please get Image Trace by Color option. So if we like to trace only single color elements from raster image, we can do.. We can correct the shape by pen tool and join it to our vector art...

Illustrator auto save folder
Hi Adobe team,
I would like to request adobe illustrator to have an autosave folder feature like the other adobe programs: premiere, after effects and, etc. It will be a helpful feature when users for example do not save their work and use the autosave file. This way users will not need to re-do the work they have created.
I really hope this feature gets implemented in the upcoming updates.
Many thanks

Allow to embed fonts to documents/PDFs and convert them to outlines when opened/imported
As we primarily use Illustrator for creating our print files for our Printers, it would really help our workflow to be able to open, supposedly print ready PDFs from our Clients, with embedded fonts (partial family or whole set) and to be able to convert to vector outline before closing and passing on to our printers without the need for the us to have the same fonts our self. If font licensing is the issue a button option to auto convert to outline as the file is opened via Illustrator would negate that problem..
I'm requesting this as we are…

Relative Links for Co-Working - Cloud Storage - Home Office
Relative links are absolutely essential for collaborating on common projects in an agency.
It's so annoying to work together on a project. When my collaborator starts an Illustrator file and I want to work on it, all links are broken, vice versa the same and the cycle never ends. Sometimes I don't even know what folder some linked files are stored in, so it's impossible to continue his work without his help!
Everyone who works together on bigger projects has this problem, especially in times of home office.
I figured the Creative Cloud wasn't just meant to be a backup…

Remove (customize) tiny shadow behind artboards
I've noticed this for years... whenever I create a new document in Illustrator--no matter the size or mode and without any bleed settings, the artboard has a tiny grey "drop shadow" behind the artboard. See ATTACHED. It does not affect art and never prints, but more times than I can count I've found myself zooming in and attempting to select/delete it, thinking I left some sort of unwanted element behind while I was working. Or I see the faint "border" and think my graphic elements aren't fully aligned to the page edge, when the actually are.
5 votesToday artboards have only a tiny 1px border, black for the active one and gray for others.
If you wish to be able to customize these — upvote this request, please: Allow to change color & width of border / edges for artboards (all and active)

API for getting the reflection property of a frame/linked image (flip)
A couple of years ago we asked about an API for getting the reflection property of a frame/linked image (flip).
Back then, your answer was that there was no such API.
1. Is that still correct?
2. If it is, can you please add such API to your next release?Thanks,

Guide lines colored to their corresponding layer
As someone who uses several guidelines on a project, one thing that I have found would be extremely helpful would be if the guide lines were colored to their corresponding layer. (This could be a toggleable option)
This could be particularly helpful when there are a lot of guidelines on the artboard since there is an inverse relationship between the number of guidelines and the readability of said guidelines. The more guidelines there are, the harder it can be to keep track of which guideline(s) corresponds to which element(s).
Personally, and fortunately, I am not colorblind, however, I imagine that…

Keyboard shortcuts for switching Workspaces
In Premiere, I can quickly switch between Editing, Multicam and Color Correction workspaces via keyboard shortcuts. I don't understand why the same isn't possible in Illustrator? If you need to switch workspaces with the mouse via a dropdown menu, it negates a lot of the reason for using them in the first place (time savings) It seems even more essential in Illustrator than Premiere, because you typically switch between tasks much more quickly.

"Move to Layer" in right-click menu
I would love to be able to skip the Layers tab on the fly and right-click an object to move it to any layer in the document. It seems like it would make the most sense for this to live in Arrange? Ideally, the layer list would include colored bullets to match layer labels. This would be a huge time-saver for me.
