1. I wish there were a guide window in the illustration showing where I am right now.

   It would be helpful if the illustration had a guide or indicator showing my current location.

2. Add Axis Constraints, to restrict transformations to a chosen axis

   Some 3D editors allow to limit moving to a chosen axis/axes.
   3DS Max has a dedicated floating panel with buttons, and Blender allows to hold a key to force it: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/object/editing/transform/control/axis_locking.html

   In Ai we can hold Shift, but the axis chosen depends on the position of the cursor, and it’s not the same.
   Please make it possible to use X/Y keys (similar to the recent E key for Enclosed selection Mode) to actually choose a preferred axis. Perhaps Z can be used for 45°? :)

3. Editable text in dimensions

   Please let designer edit the text inside the dimensions. Sometimes for mockup purpose is not possible to set a proper scale and if you place a dimension obviously the size has to be changed. Now you need to expand the aspect to let the text be editable. It would be great if the text can be editable by default.
   There is no worries for people with right scales since the value will be correct, but it will be a smart edit for others who have to change it.

4. 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.

5. Toggling left click mode

   Can we have a toggle feature that controls left-click on and off by just clicking once for activation and once again for deactivation? I think it would be a cool idea to add this as an option because it would allow a default trackpad to be a more accessible tool for longer drawing projects (ie. blob brush work) without exhausting your fingers. Makes the overall program more accessible, too. I would rather be clicking once than holding and dragging my finger on the trackpad. I got the idea from video games that have toggle buttons for lots of monotonous tasks.

6. Make Split into Grid to create warped grids based on shape if needed

   Split to Grid should learn how to split into more than just squares. Look at your Mesh tool, it obviously knows how to split different shapes, just move that code to the split tool would make it about 329983% more useful.

8. Ferramenta parametrica para a manipulação de vetories com nodes não destrutiva

   Acho que o illustrator deveria ter ferramentas de manipulação de vetories e objetos mais profunda. Utilizo softwares como autodesk maia, autodesk 3ds max, blender e houdini no pontualmente em minhas criações e eles tem uma abordagem muito interessante de manipulação 3d de vetores bem complexa.

   Além de que, o Illustrator é uma ferramenta muito utilizada por profissionais de branding para criações de logo, ou seja, exige que a forma criada seja o mais unica possível. Uma ferramenta paramentrica, por exemplo, que fizesse modificações como transformações em um objeto através de nodes complexos seria muito interessante.

   Grato pelo espaços de diálogo

9. 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.

11. Allow to cut path with a drag rather than a click when using Scissors

    I want the Scissors tool to be able to cut paths like the Knife does, with a click-and-drag, splitting a path at an intersection of straight/freeform (straight by default) drawn line with a path (ideally prioritizing selected ones over others, like requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36111436)

    I’m rather tired of seeing this loud modal dialog when I don’t have Smart Guides enabled and miss a line (because the tool doesn’t have enough feedback by modern times’ standards: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44725546)

    Take a look at the fake GIF I made to show how it should work.
    A single click should still work.
    This new option should have a tweakable tolerance, a minimal distance we need to drag to get it detected as a drag-cut.
    Probably it should allow to choose if it should make first cut only or detect all intersections with a cut line.

    No, Knife tool behaves differently, compare yourself.

    And finally make this screaming message into a shy message.
    I still want to get one, but not as disruptive. Take a look at this request:
    Make ability to make warnings show in background and not in dialogue windows

12. Add Transform Again Individually / Transform Sequence Again / Sequence Again Individually commands, as in InDesign

    Illustrator has Transform Again command (and it’s rather useful), but InDesign has three additional commands:

    1. Transform Again Individually:
       Applies the last single transform operation to each selected object individually, rather than as a group.

    2. Transform Sequence Again:
       Applies the last sequence of transform operations to the selection.

    3. Transform Sequence Again Individually:
       Applies the last sequence of transform operations to each selected object individually.

    As described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/transforming-objects.html#repeat_transformations

    Here is a video demonstrating the difference between these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4gLe9LeRKI

    Sure, we have Transform Each as a workaround, but it doesn’t support custom pivots as tools do, and these are just faster.

    If you like this request, take a look at these two as well:
    — Rotate, scale, skew, transform selected objects separately: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46268581

13. Configurable Trim Marks

    TL/DR: It would be incredibly helpful and relatively simple for AI's developers to let users configure the parameters of auto-generated trim marks.

    ---

    I've been using AI for three decades and somehow, even though I have been doing this the hard way that entire time, it never dawned on me until today to request this: configurable Trim Marks, both in Object: Create Trim Marks and Effect: Trim Marks. This is similar to the following request except that that one doesn't include the why that I feel is important:
    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/41926273-set-the-size-and-offset-of-effect-crop-marks-whi

    AI specifically creates trim marks in one very specific way: .5" .3pt lines that are .25" from the boundary of the selected element. That's fine for typical press output and "good enough" for most home/in-office usage, but far from great. That combined distance of .75" is pretty significant overkill for anyone printing a lot of small to-be-cut items on a single printed page (i.e., small designed pieces on a 13x19 sheet), forcing someone who wants to maximize their usage of the media and knows they only need very small marks/offsets for that purpose. When that person is me, for example, I will typically cut the marks down to .15" long with a .07" offset, vastly shrinking the footprint of the combined object.

    A great set of configurable parameters would be:
    - trim mark length
    - trim mark offset
    - trim mark stroke weight
    - save/edit/delete presets (including Default, which would be what you currently have)

    Thanks for your time!

15. Dimensions Tool 3 Improvements

    1- Make dimensions styles saved with your artworks. So when you open different artworks at different scales, it remembers "by default" just like color mode or artwork size.

    2- Have dimensions presents to be saveable and loadable.

    2- When you update dimensions styles, have a button "update artwork" that will automatically update, if we choose so, existing dimensions placed in the artwork. Therefor we don't need to re-trace everything.

16. Able to specify triangle inner angles

    Would it be possible to have an 'advanced' triangle dialogue box where you can specify the angles?. I often need to use this for creating conical cutter guides – I know I can use the rotate tool and use strokes, but feels like it could be much easier as it's very long-winded.

17. 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 ability to place a rotation anchor point around which the selected path anchors rotate.

18. 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:
    Make the corner widgets automatically disappear in small objects

19. 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.

    You’ve accidentally turned off the bounding box it seems, probably with the Ctrl+Shift+B hotkey. Press it again to enable it back or use the menu command for this: View > Show Bounding Box.

    Please comment back if it fixes this for you.

20. Reflect tool should mirror path direction as well

    When Reflecting (mirroring, flipping) Paths with a non non uniform Stroke Widths, the result is not correct, since the Path direction is not reversed. (see screenshot)
