1. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add the Alt/Option key functionality from XD!!!

   I know there is the measure tool. I wish it functioned like XD where holding Alt/Option and hovering over an object will give you the exact distance.

   It's super frustrating to switch between Adobe products and have no consistency. One shortcut to zoom in an app does something entirely different in another.

   Yes, I understand they are different apps but you force people to subscribe to multiple apps instead of allowing people to see a project to completion in one single app. I can learn one or two apps inside out and backward - I cannot learn 50...

   Thanks.

2. "Sowing"

   So the name is called "Sowing" for the reason as shown in the picture. The object doesn't necessarily have to have so many "cuts."

   The idea is to make "slices" within a single object, which allows a stroke or other object to over- and underlap an object in a single layer, without having to make extra layers to hide the "threading" object. This will prevent having to cut up, or mask or duplicate objects.

   Basically it's also allowing anchors of the same object to switch between layers.

3. Make the brush and pencil tools respond to color changes. Place a color selection box in Paintbrush Tool Options

   I cannot change colors on Brush and Pencil tools. I researched many Q & A threads and none of the answers solved the problem. Fill new brush strokes does not work for the brush or pencil tools.

4. Scale Percentage to automatically tell you the Percent of Increase or Decrease in the Object's Size

   Enhancing the Scale tool so that it automatically tells you the Percent of Increase or Decrease in the Objects Size. When scaling elements in Illustrator I cannot always select all and type in 10 inches and have it be what I need. In the attached Image I need the letter T to equal 10 inches in height and scale the other letters up accordingly. So I take the size of the "T" and now have to manually calculate the percent of increase from 4.691” to 10”.

   With an improved Scaling Tool it would be nice to see what that percentage is right away so that it can be applied to the rest of the layout. In the attached image you can see that the Percent Increase needed is 213.2.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

5. Global "Scale Strokes" Setting Affected by Scale Tool

   When I check or uncheck the "scale strokes" option in the scale tool, this affects the global stroke-scaling setting. This isn't expected, nor desired.

6. Graph Data Label Decimal Exision

   Previous versions of Illustrator's graph data labels matched the decimal points defined in the "Cell Style" field. The current version of CC removes any zeros at the end of the label - e.g. "3.00" is changed to "3", or "4.20" is changed to "4.2".

   According to Adobe's Customer Care, this is an intended behaviour - but could it be an optional one? Having to manually append zeros to hundreds of labels is not an appealing prospect.

7. Display Tablet : Wacom CINTIQ 22HD VS XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro REVIEW

   Hello everyone, I'm an Illustrator user, I usually use the Adobe Illustrator, Evernote, Dropbox software and tasks. Mostly Illustrator on my display drawing tablet.

   CINTIQ 22HD

   I know there are a lot of people who are looking for Cintiq alternatives as Wacom's tablets are expensive. I had been wanting a Cintiq for years but never really thought they were worth all that money. However, after I had a chance of using Cintiq 22HD for a few days, I came to realize that drawing on a display tablet is far quicker and more enjoyable than doing it on non-display tablets.
   SO, NOW I WANTED A DISPLAY TABLET TOO FOR TWO REASONS:

   1.Drawing on a display tablet was far more enjoyable than drawing with graphic tablets (like my Deco 01).
   It felt like I was actually drawing on paper.

   2.The higher precision and accuracy = I noticed I wasn't using the "undo" on Cintiq 22HD as much = less hours spent per painting.
   CINTIQ 22HD WAS GOOD BUT IS IT WORTH $1600?

   Although the drawing experience was really good (feels like Intuos but more precise!) on Cintiq 22HD, I still didn't think it was worth $1600. It's a 2012 model and the display was nothing spectacular considering the price. If the display was a higher quality and the tablet was slimmer, I would be dreaming of having one myself even at that price point. Anyways, I looked into cintiq alternatives and the closest thing seemed to be XP-Pen's newest model, Artist 22E Pro.

   XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro

   I ordered and had XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet for a day.
   It's been only a day but I already have a love and hate relationship with it...
   Here are the Pros and Cons

   PRO's:
   1.More affordable than Cintiq 22HD (although it's still not that cheap $899 / $799 until May 31)
   2.Screen temperature stays REALLY COOL (OMG I LOVE) vs Cintiq 22HD gets a little warm
   3.IPS Panel (wide view angles) and anti-glare coating's really good. (Cintiq 22HD's is grainy)
   4.Almost no lagging felt when drawing (14ms = same as Cintiq 22HD)
   5.Slimmer and smaller than Cintiq but has 21.5 inch screen (same as Cintiq 22HD)
   6.Parallax better than or similar to Cintiq 22HD
   7.Pen accuracy, sensitivity on point (except for the area close to the edges)
   8.Easy to use and install
   9.Sharp, good colors
   CON's: [UPDATE: I am told that these two issues are solved with recent XP-Pen drivers update]

   1.Display is not sharp (texts, image edges, lines are soft when they need to be sharp and clear)
   2.Lower pressure sensitivity levels (1%-20%) I feel like are not that accurate. I needed to put a little more force for the nib to register anything and that results in e.g. 20% opacity when I wanted 10%.
   3.Pen Batteries: You need to recharge pens. Not really a huge con for me because they give you two pens.
   4.No tilt on pen: not a big deal for me. Just mentioning for information as some people do care about this function.

   Other notable info:
   1.Color Gamut: standard (advertised as an "amazing" display). It covers 72%~78% sRGB. Just a standard. It's not really a con or a pro I guess.
   2.No pen stand: their site says they give you a pen stand. I only found a pen case.
   3.Adj. buttons on the display are stiff but you don't need to use them often once everything's set.
   4.Something about the way the pen nib works: related to the con I mentioned; I just didn't like the way it felt. The nib's a little bulky and doesn't feel good
   when doing detailed, light strokes. Depending on what kind of drawing you do, you may not even notice this.

   *I wrote no pen calibration in the image but the driver does have it I just missed it. However, that doesn't change my opinion on the lower pen pressure levels!

   SO, MY CONCLUSION IS:

   1.XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet is a pretty good alternative to a Cintiq with some better aspects (thin bezels, better parallax, 21.5 inch screen etc.)
   2.BUT! There are two major issues that made me return it. The pressure sensitivity was not up to my expectations. Maybe I am just used to Wacom pens but I felt like it's a little awkward when I needed precise strokes for details. Secondly, the display is not sharp (it's too blurry. It could be because of the anti-glare coating).

   Therefore this is a great display tablet for:
   -people who have never experienced higher end Wacom tablets
   -hobbyists artists
   -people who have not had good quality IPS monitors
   -people looking for a Cintiq-like display without breaking their bank

   Wouldn't recommend it to:
   -people who have used Wacom tablets (Intuos and above) and are used to them
   -professional users / serious artists

   *Note: if you intend to use two tablets from two different brands (e.g. Wacom Intuos and a XP-Pen display tablet) on one PC, keep in mind that there can be only ONE installed driver. You need to uninstall Wacom driver if you are using the XP-Pen tablet and vice versa.

8. adjust CUSTOM brush STROKE SIZE with bracket keys realtime

   use bracket keys to adjust stroke size of custom brushes for faster editing workflow

   (you can do it to calligraphic brushes now but not custom brushes, super annoying since 80% of my character art is with custom brushes).

9. Find and replace graphics

   One of the greatest features of Freehand, and something I miss greatly in Illustrator, is the "Graphic Find And Replace" tool. I use the text find and replace a lot and bringing the same tool set to the graphics side would help with production greatly.

   Some of this functionality can be found with "select same as ..." but is more limited and requires extra steps. Or working with symbols but that's less flexible.

12. Transform Shortcuts / Enter the transform panel with a keyboard shortcut

    I want to be able to transform an object using the keyboard.

    For example, in Sketch, I can manipulate an object by holding the command key (optionally with a 10x Shift-key modifier) and using the arrow keys to increase or decrease the height or width of an object. This tends to be easier than using the mouse or the Transform panel when making quick modifications. (Also, less painful for arthritic users!)

    Please consider it.

13. Curvature tool continuation tolerance

    I work quite zoomed in, and when drawing close to an existing path with the curvature tool, it often picks up the end of the existing path and continues drawing from it. I'd love to be able to select the tolerance for this behaviour, so I can be more precise.

    Currently I have to draw my intended path somewhere else, and move it to its intended location, or switch to the pen tool, which it more accurate.

14. Editing corner radius

    It is extremely important in my job that I am able to manipulate the corner radiuses of an object uniformly or individually by entering a specific number. I am not able to find this feature in the latest 2018 version that is as easily accessible as the previous version. I would really appreciate it if this feature was available on the transform palette.

16. Kontour in Adobe Draw

    Hello,
    it would be great if you could draw contours in Adobe Draw. If I draw a picture with a black contour in Draw, it is always a closed sharpe. A Kontour (as in Illustrator) would simplify later editing in Illustrator many times over.
    Many Thanks

    Blend objects aligned to path and keep bounding boxes at ends straight so they don't distort. Have to make many long paths of wire shapes and to keep them aligned on the path the first and last keep distorting so I can't edit or reuse for a slightly different curve.

18. Changeing force of Bezier handles without changeing their orientation

    Case study:

    1. click Direct Selection Tool (white arrow)
    2. click a curve segment (not vertex) of any shape
    3. drag

    See how the orientation of Bezier tangents at both ends of the segment change orientation? This is most unhelpful. If, instead of dragging the mouse, you use keyboard increments (arrows), then the tool acts the correct way -- changeing the Bezier handles length, or "force", while retaining their direction, or "azimuth".

    I understand the interest of the present behavior, but I believe it would be great if there was a modifier key to activate the "keyboard" behavior when using the mouse drag.

19. Drag toolbar buttons into Custom Panels.

    It's great to make custom Toolbars, but what I really need is to create PANELS with toolbar buttons. Then I can dock them, make them retract automatically, etc., just like any other panel.

    This way I can produce sets of very specialized panels that snap alongside the related settings panels.

    It's not visually helpful to be forced to keep ALL tools in just one or two columns! There is no user-based reason that a toolbar can't be made square, or docked with the other panels.

    Of course, ultimately I just want a very easy, drag/drop way to make custom panels that include tools, Actions, etc.

20. The ability to save a direct selection

    Sometimes geometric transformations require a complex selection of certain vertices on one or more objects. Losing the selection because of a misclick is so common and frustrating... One should be able to save current selection to recall it if lost. This little buffer can be really very temporary, i.e. stop working if object topology has changed in the meantime. It would already prevent frustration on many occasions.

    Illustrator allows to save, load and managed partial and full  selection with Select > Save / Edit Selection commands.

    UI is archaic, but it does the thing you want.
