Please bring back the Center point as guide
In previous versions the Center point (attribute) kept showing when an object was made a Guide. But unfortunately, in Ai cc2019 this no longer happens.
That Center point is essential for working accurate.
Please bring it back.2 votes -
User folder for custom brushes and graphic styles
It would be great if there were a way to quickly save a selected custom brush and/or graphic style to a single user folder. This would make access easier, and enable better organization.

Opening Last opened/recent documents
Problems opening Last opened/recent documents in Adobe Illustrator
I teach Adobe Illustrator to around 60 16 year olds.
When they first open the program & either double click on the image of their last document it often won't open. In fact it often opens another recent file, but not the one they actually have clicked on. The only way round I have found to get up their work is to >window & turn Application Frame off? This is far from ideal & I don't understand why it's suddenly started happening......
As you can imagine the 16 year olds find this…1 vote -

Illustrator CC 2019 (oct) NOT as default program for file extension .doc
Just upgraded to Creative Cloud 4.7.0.400, from 24.09.2018 on Windows 8.
Weirdly my E-Mail client suddenly opens .doc-files in Illustrator CC. I checked Windows 8's default program setting for file extension .doc ... it's still set to "Word". The E-Mail client (Opera Mail) is pretty slim and itself has no way of setting file extension behaviours - it's depending on the systems settings.
The Bridge's file extension dialog in Bridge settings does not list .DOC files, so it's not set to illustrator there either.
However if i go into windows file extension settings again, highlight .doc and click "edit program"…

Complaint
Illustrator 2019 23.0.1. sucks. I have been using adobe tools for over 20 years and this is the worst update you have ever released. Not only does it take forever to open any app including InDesign, PS, ILL and acrobat, but then it constantly freezes. I can't get any work done. You keep raising the price of the subscription, but your updates cost me more in time troubleshooting than anything else. The very basic grouping and selecting a group doesn't work in the new illustrator, I am using the most up to date OS on a 2 year old iMac.…

ADOBE!! I have a request. Would you consider creating a T-shirt making app for Illustrator? It would be great to be able to design your layo
ADOBE!! I have a request. Would you consider creating a T-shirt making app for Illustrator? It would be great to be able to design your layout, take a look at your sample, then send to a printer to print! It's a thought 😀

Ability to use separate graphic styles on strokes versus fills
the title basically says it all.
i would like to apply a graphic style to an object's stroke, and apply a separate graphic style, or more likely no style to that object's fill. this way i can alter the stroke of many objects at once, without altering their fill color.
typically i have illustrations with 100s of groups each consisting of 100s of faces with the same stroke style, but different fill colors. in the course of design, i need to tweak the stroke color and weight to get the right look, but it's extremely tedious to have to click…

Not signing in each time network connection changes
You know how when you switch your laptop from wired connection to wireless because as a normal human being with a laptop on the go, you will come across that. It would be great if you didn't have to sign in again and again.
So the idea is that, every time a user is forced to sign in again for no good reason, the person who suggested the idea and the manager(s) who approved it get smacked on the head by a robotic arm. Doesn't have to be painful, just a reminder of the sheer stupidity they came up with.

Show missing link path/locations like InDesign. (To make relinking an image simple)
In the Link Panel - Indesign shows the file path for placed images and links (even when missing or embedded). In Illustrator's Link panel these path/locations are greyed out with no text, thus making finding a missing file purely guess work. Can the Indesign Links Panel be directly replicated to Illustrator so absolutely the same? Cheers

Make Adobe Illustrator app available in Thai
Please make Adobe Illustrator app available in Thai. I think it will be better for Thai users to be able to use Adobe Illustrator app in Thai language.

Have a "lock" option for the gradient annotator
The gradient annotator adjusts itself when you also adjust the object bigger. I would like for there to be an option where I can have the gradient annotator lock in place while I stretch an object bigger. When I am working on a file that has a gradient to the edge of the artboard but has no bleed, this instance is where this option would be super helpful.

WHY ARE YOUR COLOR MODE SETTINGS SEPARATE BUT CALLED THE SAME?
SO YEAH, THERE IS A SEPARATE COLOR MODE IN THE DOCUMENT COLOR MODE.....SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT FROM THE COLOR MODE IN THE COLOR WINDOW.
WHAT PURPOSE THIS DESIGN CHOICE WOULD SERVE, IS BEYOND ME.
WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY DO? WHY WHY WHY WOULD ADOBE MAKE IT SO CHANGING YOUR DOCUMENT COLOR MODE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUNCTION THEN CHANGING THE COLOR MODE IN THE "COLOR," WINDOW? WHAT PURPOSE DOES THAT SERVE? WHY DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO TEAR MY EARS OFF AND POKE MY OWN EYES OUT.

Halftone vectore
As one of my friend getting irregular shaped while creating Halftone Vector by following this steps
Create a shape (circle) > Use Gradient in it > Effect > Pixelate > Color halftone > Object > Raster > Image trace
He was getting irregular circle shapes in the artwork
So while exploring to resolve this we added Blend option just after doing raster. That remove the irregular shape.
Create a shape (circle) > Use Gradient in it > Effect > Pixelate > Color halftone > Object> Raster >Blend (inside object menu)> Blend options> Image trace ( make sure that Ignore white…

Live Corner Radius - Expand round corner created with live corner widget on a live shape to an object/Shape/Path *without* a numeric value
I want to eliminate the live corner radius numbers and have the object simply be a shape without a corner radius assigned (Just expanded shape to a path with a fill) so that if its scaled by just about anyone it can't get screwed up. It seems like CC limited the ability to do this easily, its making me insane! Just like you would outline a stroke, I want to "outline" or expand the corner radius created with the widget, any ideas?
Basically if I save a drawing or logo that was created with the corner widget as an expanded…
