1. "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 a time. Will the data merge feature be enhanced to be able to put multiple records on one artboard, and have better formatting features?

2. 「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。

   1. 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。

3. 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, that at least is in a user-area.
   Such as "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 25 Settings\en_US\x64\Symbols".
   I blame Microsoft for the dumb Appdata location, but the path is in an area no sensible person would ever save anything. Plus, it is on the system/boot drive, where I usually do not save data. And finding the path if you want to put a brush library there is under the "hunt and peck" method.. (Hmm, is it Roaming, Local, or LocalLow I should go to.)

   Interestingly enough, if you try opening such libraries (Open [type] Library -> Other library", then suddenly it defaults to a path under the "\Program Files" install area, like "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Presets\en_US[type of library]" Now a completely different location (where Illustrators own predefined Presets were installed).
   As if any added brush/symbol/styles libraries should ever be added there, since Program Files is usually a protected area that requires admin rights to write to.

   To be extra funny, if you use "Save as Template" or "New from Template", then magically it defaults to want to save or open templates from an even more goofy path

   "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates".. ("Cool Extras" my foot. :-) )

   Things such as Actions, have no default. Both Load and Save actions dumps you to a default of "This PC", on Windows.

   First problem with all these paths are that they are either program version (year) specific, or version specific (like the Appdata "Illustrator Settings 20xx" paths).
   Second problem, that some are in user areas, some are in program/system areas.
   Third problem, that it makes it very difficult to remember where everything should be put, if you create or buy a new item. Unless you want to keep hunting for Illustrator's preferred location.

   So, hence the wish for a way to define a common root-folder Preference setting, where all Illustrator add-ons should be default saved, default opened.

   Personally, I currently resort to creating Shortcuts in all these locations, pointing to where I really keep my brushes/swatches/templates/...
   Like "Local Templates" and "Local Brushes" shortcuts (symbolic links) that in one extra click can send me where I really keep all my stuff.

   Under my personal resource space I then have a root folder for Illustrator (Illustrator-Adds), which has subdirectories for each type. See attached.

   One problem with this scheme is, that when a new Illustrator version comes out (year number or major version number), then I have to go through all the locations and create new shortcuts again, since in the Adobe install scheme, suddenly all the default paths (using year or major version number (23, 24, 25) in the path) have magically changed again.

4. 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?

6. 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.

7. Illustrator 2021 Won't Open

8. Little display problem with GPU enabled

   Hi, I bought an Imac 27" with 5K Retina display.

   I noticed that when I zoom some vector shape, the lines are not too clean. They seem like bitmapped. When I click Command+Y (show outlines) and I click it again, the lines appear clean. I uploaded a little video about my problem.

   I wrote in Adobe community, they suggested me to turn off GPU Performance. If i do that the images appears fine but Illustrator become too slow.

   So they recommended me to report my issue here.

   Thanks for your time.

11. Power Efficiency

    Since I've moved to working remotely entirely, I've noticed how quickly using several Adobe programs burns through my laptop battery. I'm running a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with the latest MacOS Catalina version, and I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half of battery life while running InDesign and Illustrator at the same time. When I review what is using the most battery life, my Mac lists InDesign, Illustrator, and Core Sync as the main culprits.

    Now, I understand that these programs at times are fairly graphically intensive, but the battery life I'm getting is absymal, and I'm not even currently working on artwork that is using a lot of complex effects; we're talking basic shape and stroke icons and simple text and shape layouts.

    Can you please work on optimizing the programs to prevent excessive battery draining? Core Sync in particular is really confusing; what exactly is it doing? I've even paused file syncing, but that hasn't seemed to do anything.

12. Option for anti-aliasing in Outline View

    Please allow us to turn on anti-aliasing in Outline View. It’s a very useful view for path editing, but it can be difficult to assess the fidelity with all the stepping due to anti-aliasing being off. Making it a toggle would be ideal. Many thanks!

19. Shape fill colour and path not aligned in GPU view

    When GPU view is turned on (which is often necessary as Illustrator now runs so slowly in CPU), the fill colour of objects isn't completely aligned to the path. This makes it extremely difficult when working with anchors. It is only an appearance issue and is resolved when you switch to CPU view, however could this be resolved in GPU?
