Artboard-specific Layers
When working with multiple artboards, it would be very helpful to have artboard-specific layers displayed on the Layers panel as opposed to one long blob of all layers from all artboards.

Ability to move Color Groups in Recolor artwork
I just want a simple drag and sort option for Color Groups.
When I goto "Recolor Artwork" I have a lot of color groups there and I just want to drag any with the mouse, thats so simple!Currently they are not moveable at all!

Margins!
I would love a margin option! I always use rulers to set up margins but it'd be great to have margins in the document setup settings.

100 artboards
Over 100 Artboards please. This has been talked about for 3 years now to no avail.
I'm creating UI and it requires more that 100 pages. Why are we being constrained?

Create artboard to three decimal places
It would be nice to be able to set artboards to three decimal places without it rounding up. If I make something at 3.125", it rounds up to 3.13", or 3.6785 becomes 3.68. Although I have not had any printers yell at me for my files not being correct, I still am concerned that it always wants to round up to the hundredths place, especially when I'm having to be sure that my materials are going into places where the sizes are set in to be such specific tolerances.

Move(select) multiple artboards with just a mouse
I just need to be able to select and move multiple artboards.
Thats so simple. Currently, I can select only 1, but I have 100 of them already and I want move some groups in my document, to easy re-arrange them. But I have to move one by one. AWKWARD.7 votesHi,

Allow more than 100 artboards
Artboard limits should be a "soft cap" of 100 or more dependent on the user's PC specs. The user should then be able to, at their own risk of performance, increase the cap of artboards to whatever number they feel is necessary, whether or not that is unlimited is up to the user. There was a suggestion to remove this cap over 5 years ago, I believe it is time to make the change.
I need currently 120 and it's really AWKWARD to create a new file and put resources there. I 100% need all my images in one file…6 votesHi,

Show slices names
I'm looking for a simple but very useful option for slices:
"Show slice name"Currently in setting of Illustrator there are only option:
"Show slice numbers", - file attached.
But it's doesn't give me anything actually.
I've created names for each slice and I need to check these names visually, without need to select each slice and goto it slice settings..1 vote -
Illustrator Zeichenflächen
Es wäre wünschenswert, mehrere Zeichenflächen gleichzeitig markieren zu können. Außerdem mehrere ausgewählte zeichenflächen gleichzeitig verschieben zu können oder über das Ausrichten Werkzeug oder Koordinaten organisieren zu können.

Allow to edit predefined and add new preset sizes for each document profile (like A1, A5...)
I regularly design flyers in A5 size and it would be great to have that as a new document preset in addition to A4 and A3

Ilustrator needs to have the option to use Animated Zoom in Outline Mode
When you switch to outline mode (Ctrl-Y) you immediately go back to the outdated and incredibly frustrating marquee-zoom tool instead of the new and much more efficient Animated Zoom tool to click and drag to zoom. Incredible program, but this is by far one of the most annoying and "I-want-to-rip-my-hair-out" features.

Change the layer an object is located on
If you have a large artboard with multiple objects and layers it is really time consuming to organize your layers when all you can do is drag and drop. I think it would be useful if you could right click on an object and "move to layer" like you can in muse.
4 votesThere is a way – let us know if this works for you.
- Select the object(s).
- Highlight the layer you want the selection to go to.
- Object menu or right-click > Arrange > Send to Current Layer -
Rotation of the Artboard
Like in Photoshop it would be great if an Artist could rotate the artboard/canvas in Illustrator. If you draw a line from left to right it's never the same stroke as from up to down.
