Make the corner widgets automatically disappear in small objects
Sometimes when I'm editing small shapes, I accidentally click and drag the corner widgets and end up rounding the object's edges instead of transforming their size. I believe that when it comes to small objects it doesn't make sense to have the corner widget visible as it is not possible to have precision in the rounding of the edges, so it would make sense to make it disappear automatically. This could be related with zoom levels, so when I zoom in that small object, the widgets reappear.
I know that it is possible to disable them, but they are quite…

"Multiple Record Layout" data merge feature.
I love the "Multiple Record Layout" data merge feature in InDesign. However my merged documents are often opened in Illustrator by the end user to make changes. Currently my client wants a full vector file for laser cutting shapes with custom etched names. They do not translate well with strokes becoming their own object and lines of text disconnecting. The idea to data merge 200+ names in IN makes perfect sense, but in this case the client asked they be done in AI and each name and custom info needs to be brought in by hand manually one name at…

「カンバスを左右／上下に反転」機能の追加も希望します。
1.説明
今回のベータ版ではビュー回転機能がつきとても嬉しいです。可能ならPhotoshop同様に「カンバスを左右／上下に反転」機能の追加も希望します。- 機能のメリット 鉛筆ツールとペンタブレットでフリーハンドでベジェを描く際に反転機能があることで手首のスナップを活かしやすい向きで描画ができ、ストロークを活かしてより良いイラストが描けます。

Preference setting for a common "root" folder for add-on files
It would be great if the Illustrator Preferences had a way to specify a central root folder for the location of (and default save location) for add-ons, such as Brushes, Graphic styles, Swatches Templates, and others. (Similar to the existing "Additional Plug-ins Folder" setting).
Illustrator currently seems to have very scatterbrained way of handling files, which I am sure there is some history or reason for, depending on the team that happened to develop that section of code.
Examples:
If you save Brush, Symbol, Graphic Styles, ..., libraries, when it defaults to want to save under a long winding path,…

I request this program to be brought to 2021 rather than leaving it in the 90s. I hate using this program. It SUCKS
Bring illustrator to a current user format. It is stuck in the 90s. I HATE using it. I use photoshop, AE, etc. All great. Illustrator SUCKS. Can I say that loud enough.....

Implement a "quit function" command
Often there is no way to quit an intense function that is taking too long to complete. One needs to quit the entire program in order to get it to stop. Why isn't there a "quit function" command that immediately overides all other processes and stops the function that is not working?

Combine all Thumbnail Preview Options
There are multiple ways to remove thumbnail previews on the Layers, Appearance and Links palettes and these have to be set on every file.
As a huge drag on screen redraw performance, these should be a single option / button accessible without going into the prefs panel.
Perhaps with an opt-out tick box per palette to fine tune. For example: Users could have thumbs persist on the layers palette, while the others toggle on a button.

An "Illustrator Lite" that cuts out everything except the essential vector functions, and actually responds quickly.
Illustrator is just way too slow. If you just drag an item, it really needs to follow the mouse. Everything needs to be snappy. It's just way slower than it was in the old days. Don't tell me it's something to do with my system. It's just too slow. Make it as fast as Figma.
Perhaps a way to do this is just to have a version that removes a lot of the kruft, and is purely a vector-based program without a lot of the other features, such as bitmap manipulation, styles, etc.

Can we please have a drop down menu for different measurement entities on the control bar next to transform values of Height and width?
Can we please have a drop down menu for different measurement entities on the control bar next to transform values of Height and width rather than having to enable ruler and click on the ruler to change measurement units?

Let us toggle rendering by artboard
Everything is sooooooo slow! I know there are a million "tips" on how to speed it up but even with a high-end desktop, complex artwork on multiple boards kills illustrator.

Hello Everyone,
Hello Everyone, I am using Illustrator 25.0.1 version which I updated recently from 25.0, 2021 version. During work I have noticed a small problem in Layers option. First when I copy some artwork from one file which is SPLIT in different LAYERS to another file it does not give me the same SPLIT layers in the new file but put it only in one layer instead.
Second : If I have given a name to some layer of the Artwork suppose Layer A when I paste the same in new file or another file it does not give me the…1 vote -

3D Extrude & Bevel shouldn't have a depth and rotation by default
I think it's annoying that every object that I want to apply a 3d effect to already has a 50 pt extrude depth and axis rotation by default + preview option checked.
Sometimes it takes forever to render the preview for something I don't even want, but the preview is checked by default so it immidiatly starts rendering when I open the effect window.
Would be great to open the Extrude & Bevel window with zeros in every field, saves a lot of time, especially when working with complex objects.2 votes -
FMA4 vs AVX2/AVX512 implementation
Please ADOBE, explain to us the benefit and implication of the two/three instruction set types.
How does this help multiple vector artworks and are they both implemented?

Illustrator 2021 is constantly crashing, resulting in my not being able to use it.
stop it from crashing. Whatever you did with the 2021 version, reverse it. It's worse than useless. I cannot get any production.
