Transformations with constrained randomizations
Randomize transformations but constrain them to multiples of set increments, eg 45°, 20° or 2mm, 10mm. Randomize colors. Apply transform to a percentage of objects (or a random percentage). Apply random to each transform individually, eg, rotate, move, not globally as now.

Inking mode
Provide ability to “ink” a line drawing. Provide a means to color fill bounded areas - similar to the way color fill is handled in Procreate as an example. After using the pen tool to define the lines of an illustration - like for example a cartoon character - it would be very helpful to be able to colorize the line drawing by dragging color in to bounded (leak proof) areas created by these overlapping lines.

Ellipse Tool Properties/Dialogue
Ellipse Tool, if make an ellipse then you have a little squire pointing to make ellipse’s End Angle and Pie Angle, but you do not have these feature available in its properties/Dialogue/Menu when you just select Ellipse Tool and you clip on the canvas or on Art Board you have no control features for that and you also do have the same features in Control Bar and Useless Properties Panel. I hope in the future version there must be added a dialogue for proper setting and measurements like retangle tool.

Better fine tuning blob brush
Hello,
I would like to have a better setting option for the accuracy of the blob brush. The middle setting is actually too straight for me. Lines are straightened mercilessly. If you move the slider one point to the left, they are not straightened enough. That's why it would be great to have four additional options (see screenshot, red lines).Thanks a lot

Use Precision Cursors
I just got a screen tablet. The "Use Precision" cursor is too big. The X gets in my way in the same manner as the brush cursor.
I'd like to see several options aside from just an X. A fine reticle, a simple dot or circle, etc. Additionally, pls incorporate a sizing option for each fine precision icon.

More appropriate way of having straight lines and adding arrow head easily
I am an academic and use straight lines and block diagrams for illustrating my methodologies. Although having a rectangle or square is super easy, it is not straightforward to create straight line or arrowhead. Please make sure these features can be used appropriately. Thanks

don't let me draw on a locked layer (or store the shape I draw)
I often draw a shape in illustrator with the pencil tool then find it was time wasted because the layer was locked.
Either give me an alert so I know to unlock the layer, or store the shape so I can then put it in a new layer.2 votes -

Extend path tool
I make carpets, and I alway need min. 10 cm extra design for fitting or if the carpet shrinkts in production. For Illustrator artwork, I need to extend all paths, smoothly or naturally outside the border of the design, without changing the existing design.
What I'd like is the bezier extension as shown in this clip from Vector Scribe plugin:

disable few pixel width zoom
When I zoom in and out, I often accidentally move the mouse a tiny bit and it assumes I want to zoom in to a couple pixel area.
This has happened to me thousands of times and I have never, not once, needed to zoom into a tiny section of my work.
If the zoom plus or minus overrode the tiniest of selections that are just inadvertent miniscule movements, I think that would help people a LOT.
Also, still waiting for an export raster setting, becouse doing all this manually (render, import, place) is such a waste of time. That…

Configurar tu barra de acciones rápidas
Poder configurar tu propia barra de acciones rápidas al seleccionar uno o varios objetos, de manera que puedas tener las herramientas que más uses en función a tu trabajo.
En concreto uso con mucha frecuencia la opción “shape builder” y cada vez que tengo que realizar esa acción tengo que pulsar dos ó tres veces una vez selecciono, si estuviera en la barra de acciones flotante que aparece al seleccionar ahorraría mucho tiempo.Gracias!

Drop color
Definitely miss adobe draw.
I’d love to see it be easy to drop in colors and for there to be brushes like in adobe draw.
Also the brush/ pencil seem really glitchy and not like a natural gesture1 vote -
Triangles
Add the use of triangles into shapes as this will help with projects. as there is the only use of lines, square and circles.
1 voteIllustrator has also a Polygon live shape. With only three sides used, it becomes a live triangle. If you have drawn a triangle manually (and it a regular one), you can always convert it into a live shape, using Object > Shape > Convert to Shape menu command.

pencil tool - enable keep selection shortcut
A shortcut to enable or disable "keep selection" for the pencil tool. Now it is quite laborious to open each time the tool option window and check "keep selection".
