Convert embedded images between different formats/compression schemes...
Currently, if I embed an image as a TIF, the resulting AI file will be larger than if I embed the same image as a JPEG. It would be nice if I could convert embedded images between file formats and have control over compression methods / levels so that I could convert the embedded TIF to something lighter in size such as a JPEG - all from within illustrator.

Add "Crop Image Data to Frames" option to PDF Export (after first adding PDF Export).
InDesign can crop image data to frames, which can significantly shrink PDF files. Why is this long existing InDesign feature missing from Illustrator? Please add it. There is no excuse.

Import plt (hpgl) files
I want to import plt files directly in Illustrator.
Today I have to use an online converter or import the plt file using Front Design or even CorelDraw.
This file (.plt) is generated by the Audaces program.
No even the dxf file exported by Audaces is imported by Illustrator. The Illustrator only import the code instead.4 votes -

Show image output dimensions before exporting
Under File > Export > Export for Screens and > Export As, it would be great to be able to know what the output dimensions will be when selecting 150dpi, 300dpi or a custom resolution.
Often I will need to export images from various source to specific JPEG or PNG dimensions. This will save the step of exporting, checking the dimensions of the output file, then adjusting the output resolution or resizing in Photoshop.

Assets Export - add "Find" option by asset name
I'm looking for just option to filter assets at Asset Panel. It's easy to select some assets, for example I have objects names "ground_xx.png" and I want just export them now, so I can type in filter "ground" and it will be filtered from all other my assets, and yes, better to add option select filtered.

Placing "Show Import Options" - Import Photoshop Artboards Individually into Illustrator
Give placing options (similar to the PDF import options) when placing a Photoshop file (.PSD and .PSB) into Illustrator; if the "Show Import Options" box is checked, give the user the options to import Photoshop Artboards Individually (Similar to .Ai and PDF Artboards) or as the whole image file.
The "Show Import Options" box must be checked to get these options, however if not checked, the whole image file will be imported into Illustrator regardless of artboards present.

Can't recover my work when i accidentally clicked Revert
I was working in Illustrator and accidentally click on Revert and now my works are gone, it would be better if there is a undo button for that.

Allow us to choose a preferable file format on Export or keep the last chosen one
Please create a hotkey for the "Export as" function. It would also be nice if I could set AI to always remember my preferred filetype instead of always defaulting to png.

Option to save / export values in 64 bits
I work in metric, and everything works perfectly until I have to export file to the CAD software which uses higher accuracy.
If I have a line of 42 mm, actual dimension is 42.00007 (because the way illustrator stores values in points, and getting rounded in 32bit).
Problem really shows up if I have to scale things 1000-10000 timesWould be amazing if Illustrator had an option to save / export values in 64bits

アートボードごとに、「スクリーン用に書き出す」際のファイル形式を設定、保存ができるようにしてほしい / Allow to set format per asset/artboard in Export for Screens
現在の「スクリーン用に書き出す」は、この操作を行うたびにファイル形式を設定する必要があり、しかも全てのアートボードを同一のファイル形式でしか書き出せない。そしてファイル形式は書き出すたびに初期化されてしまう。これは不便である。
これを、例えばアートボードオプションで、アートボードごとに書き出すファイル形式を設定し、その設定を保存できるようになれば大変便利になるはず。

Share for Review extra functions
Hi,
I'm really thankful for this review function but there are a couple of things I would like to see in the future. Hopefully, some are already in progress!
Ability to select which artboards to share
Show the size of the artboard (I prepare 6 artboards at a go, clients do not know what size are they looking at)
Have a pretty URL that does not look like... https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:46b3c72e-e17c-42b7-2da9-08fc21a30b91
A caption area for each artboard so that I can put down some notes directly on the Illustrator app.
Thank you!

Save the Export Path to with Export for Screens Presets
Please, SAVE the "Export To:" path with the Export Preset.
I don't want to set my Export Path in Export for Screen every f*ing time I restart Illustrator.
I was hoping that Export Presets would have fixed this annoyance, but it didn't help at all.
It amazes me how impossible it seems for Adobe to get these simple things work like they should.

It would be great to have more control of the .jpg compression settings in "Export for Screens"
It would be great is more granular control of the .jpg compression settings. Right now we can only export at 100, 80, 50 and 20. We find that 60% compression is often the sweet spot between size and quality. Having a user adjustable slider or more presets would be great. It is another reason why we are still using the legacy export.

3Dオブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した書き出し
3dモデルを書き出す際、オブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した状態で書き出せるようにして欲しい。
座標や回転を維持して書き出せれば、3dを使ったモーションポスターなどの制作などにとても役立ちます。3 votes
