Find circle from a given arc
A tool that, when clicking on a previously created arc, would calculate and give the circle whose circumference that arc is part of; this would enable easier amendments, recreation etc. Can sometimes be done by trial and error, but not always accurately, particularly with 'shallow' arcs for which the circle can be surprising large - difficult to know buy just increasing size, moving centre, repeating etc.

नेपाली भाषामा अक्षरहरु नमिल्ने समस्या
नेपाली भाषामा लाेगाे बनाउँदा नेपाली अक्षरहरु टुटेकाे हुनाले Illustrator बाट लाेगाे र छपाकाे काम गर्न सकेकाे छैन । यसका लागि अझै पनि Corel Draw नै चनाउनु परेकाे छ ।

Allow to customize created dimensions more: move and style text, reposition lines, change units and scale, etc.
The functionality of the Dimension Tool needs to be improved. I think this tool should be made even more customizable. Example: Numbers and fonts should be able to move, rotate, change its style (add stroke or box it). We need to be able to easily change the units of measurement directly in the settings of the tool itself. Also lines with dimensions should be able to move arbitrarily (up and down) with Direct Selection Tool.

Need Save As... in Edit Toolbar options
I use saved toolbars, but they are tedious to create because when you click New toolbar... you get a blank toolbar and then have to add each tool one by one. I would like to open an existing toolbar (like Advanced) and have the option to Save As... under a new name - then, I can remove the tools I don't want and save it. Better to work from a starting point, than have to start from scratch.

Rotation of Subset of Shape Anchor Points via Direct Select
Once you select multiple anchors on a path (but not all of them) you should be able to rotate only those anchors. Currently it's possible to move the anchors but not rotate them.
Ex: You have a path creating a shape of a full body silhouette of a person with the face in profile. The face is looking straight left. You want to adjust the face to be looking more upward. Select the anchors that make up the head then new feature rotate those anchors so the head is tilted upward. Bonus Once you're in the rotate interface, have the…1 vote -
No puedo cambiar el tamaño de los objetos
Desde hace unos meses que no he sido capaz de volver a utilizar illustrator porque NO ME DEJA CAMBIAR EL TAMAÑO DE LOS OBJETOS/ELEMENTOS. Esto quiere decir que para mi caso, la palicación se ha vuelto inútil. Supongo yo que es un bug de mi programa pero inlcuso desinstalando y volviendo a instalar. No funciona. Esto es muy frustrante y he tenido que migrar a otras aplicaciones de diseño, y francamente lo odio. Alguien me puede ayudar por Dios??? Eso es DESESPERANTE.

Please comment back if it fixes this for you.

eraser tool that actually erases
The erase tool does not erase, it modifies paths. Please make the eraser tool behave like a traditional eraser tool.

Allow to snap to points of a compound shape with Dimension Tool
It turns out Dimension Tool can’t snap to points of a live compound shape — the cursor displays a 'forbidden' icon and a click does nothing.
The tool should treat the shape as every other tool does and allow to snap to all points (including those to be removed on expand) and intersections, and stay live when the shape is modified (when possible, until the topology changes too much to maintain the connection).
Thanks to René Andritsch for the discovery.

Please add a way for the Pencil tool to display the edge of the drawn line when needed with Live Feedback enabled
If we enable Live Preview but have no stroke or fill chosen, drawing on canvas shows nothing. Very useful.
What if in this case you make the edge line visible instead, the one we see when we disable Live Preview? 'Graceful degradation' in a sense — take a look at the GIF attached.
It’s even more complicated than this. Imaging white stroke on white canvas :) Formally it’s a color, but practically...
Having an option to have edge always visible can help, but it’d be another option...
Anyway, please do something.1 vote -
Allow Join Tool to join selected open diverging paths with a straight connection
The Join Tool isn't working as it should. It trims extra paths but it doesn't join the anchor points.

Reverse Pie with Opt/Alt when creating or editing an ellipse
It would be nice if, when holding Option/Alt, the opposing piece of the pie opens or closes symmetrically, similar to how the option modifier switches drawing shapes from the corner to the center of the object. Option+Shift would add a snapping behavior to the symmetrical pie.

Can Dimension tool measure angles for open intersecting paths?
I'm finding it frustrating that it appears that the Dimension tool will not give me angles from open shapes, i.e. 2 intersecting lines.
Am I doing something wrong for is this something anyone else is experiencing?2 votes -
Adobe Max 2D to 3D Turn views using Adobe Illustrator
Hello Adobe -
I'm interested in becoming one of your Beta testers for this new tool I am hearing about regarding Adobe Max.
What's shown is a way to take a 2D drawings and converting it in Adobe Illustrator a turn around version from the 2D to 3D art.
Whom do I speak to to become one of your Beta testers. I work in the professional field of 2D and 3D and would like to give feedback on this tool. I work with Adobe Illustrator professionally in the industry. So whom do I contact moving forward?
Thanks,

寸法ツールの補助線を付けない
寸法表示を｢付けない｣モードが欲しいです。
現状では｢補助線を隠す｣項目がありますが、アピアランス分割して非表示オブジェクトの解除をすると補助線が現れてしまいます。
作成する図面の都合上、補助線があると困るので｢隠す｣ではなく｢付けない｣選択肢が欲しいです。

Shortcut with Cmd to select a tool
Shortcuts with Cmd keys
Please please make it possible to use the Cmd key to make shortcut to select a tool. This is crucial for working quick and efficiently. I know about the V and the A for choosing Selection and Direct Selection Tool, but when you are working with text, you cannot use these. Then you have to go the long way up to the tools panel to choose these. This make you work really slow.
In Indesign it is easy to make this shortcut. In Photoshop and Illustrator it is prohibited. Please make this small adjustment to Illustrator…

Frescoの「連続する範囲内を塗り」を追加して欲しい。
ライブペイントではなく、塗りブラシのまま直感的に必要な範囲だけ塗りたい。

An option to convert a line into a dimension line
Sometimes it’s so much easier to draw a line, using a familiar click-drag-release method, instead of click-click-click method Dimension Tool uses to Manual Dimensions!
I really with to be able to covert a viable line (an open straight line with no handles and two points only, being it a live shape or not) into a dimension, with zero offset and no extension lines.
It IS possible to do today, but using some shenanigans I show in a GIF attached. The way extensions can’t be set to zero is a problem though, and should be reported separately.
Some plugins and scripts…

Disable geometry size limit for corner widgets
It seems like there is a hard limit on the object size for corner widgets.
Take a look at the GIF:
when my shape is 1.42 px tall — I can see the widgets,
but if I make it 1.41 px — widgets vanish... and it doesn’t matter if I zoom in, they won’t appear!
It makes it very inconvenient when designing pixel art, icons, small things... This should be screen-based, not geometry-capped!While you are here, take a look at the related request:
