Mark starting points and directions for paths
We know nothing about where a closed path starts and which direction it has.
We can cheat it and apply an arrowhead or a brush to see that, but perhaps you just should mark the first points of paths with something else than a square? Like a triangle?
Come on, look at Corel Draw, look at Affinity Designer!15 votes -
Please improve the functionality of the files when multiple artboards are designed and the design is complex in nature.
Illustrator is hanging or freezing when complex path designs are being designed or multiple dartboards are designed in a single file.
I am using a MacBook Pro M2 Chip which is known for its processing and still facing so much issues with heavy and complex files.1 vote -
Animated Zoom for Mouse wheel
Please add the Animated Zoom function for the mouse wheel, now this can only be done using the "Z" key and the mouse movement. It is very inconvenient to scroll using alt + mouse wheel when the percentage of increase jumps from 66% to 100% in one turn of the mouse wheel. The trackpad on the macbook zooms very well, but it is not convenient to use. Add a switch to the "General" settings next to the scroll wheel " Use Animated Zoom to scroll with the mouse.

Find color in artwork button in Recolor Artwork advanced dialog is useless when the object is too small
There is a button in Recolor Artwork dialog to fade all other colors but a clicked one, the rightmost button with a magnifier below the Current Colors list.
This fade does little help when the object with the chosen color is too small on the canvas, like in a complex illustration.
Zooming to these can be a solution, but it won't help if there are many of these specs with the color, so perhaps these objects should be highlighted with a flash of edges or in some other dynamic way to help to locate them.11 votes -
AMD RADEONのグラフィックボードのサポートと、メモリの割り当て機能追加のリクエスト
Afinity Designer2.1.1と、Adobe Illustrator 27.8.1のパフォーマンスの違いを、複数のアートボードがある、.ai ファイルを開いて検証した所、
圧倒的な速さでファイルを開けるAfinity Designerに対して、1分以上遅く元祖Illustratorは開きました。いつまでもNVIDIAのグラボしかサポートせず、RADEONは対応していない点や、メモリ割り当て機能が存在しない為、パフォーマンスが、劇的に落ちています。
Adobe Illustratorは、Adobe製品の中でも、「要」のアプリケーションです。そのソフトウェアを、最適化して更にパフォーマンスを高速化出来なければ、効率の良い業務がいつになっても出来ません。
パフォーマンスが遅くて、未だに完全に試していない機能もいくつかございます。
Mac OS Xも発売当初、ユーザーから、パフォーマンス！パフォーマンス！と猛烈にリクエストされて、現在に至るわけですから、御社も「要」のソフトウェアの更なるパフォーマンス向上をリクエスト申し上げます。
以上、宜しくお願い申し上げます。

Add hotkey (key command) option for panel flyout menus
There are a number of (small) requests for specific items in flyout menus — I’d like to consolidate that, here, into a GENERAL request in the hopes that it will get a larger response. You may not care if Cmd-J (Ctr-J for PC folks) will duplicate a layer as in Photoshop, but maybe you want to be able to create a new swatch with the key press of your choice.
Hotkey users of the world, unite!

Performance... GPU Performance - Second Check Box - CPU Default
Mac GPU still does not work correctly all the time. Until it does, there should be a Second Check box for GPU Performance.
there are times that the GPU is better, but most of the time it's completely glitchy. Until that's fixed we should have a CHECK BOX for DEFAULT to CPU.
Currently GPU Checked forces it to be on first. If uncheck you can not switch it without going into preferences.
It's a little thing but until this can be fixed, this is a better workflow... it might be good to keep even after it's fixed too.

Force GPU use. Disable auto GPU > CPU performance.
Force GPU use. We need to disable auto GPU > CPU performance.
It's impressive to have a RTX4090 slept waiting for Illustrator CPU performance...

Make the Info panel more usefull
The info panel is too concise in my opinion.
E.g: when a place image is selected, it should show its pixel size, scale, rotation, color mode etc.3 votes -
Speed up Redraw with All Thumbnail Options on One Button
Switching off thumbnails for improved draw speed means switching various options and locations to get the layer, object and transparency thumbs all switched off. Working many customer files per day this is a drag.
Please put them all on one "thumbs" radio button with options for all-on, all-off, or custom preference, so I can get my work done faster.
Make this an application preference rather than document preference to save me even more time.

Make Global Edit work with parts of compound shapes
When you use Direct/Group Selection tool and select a part of compound shape, that you know exist on canvas, you expect Global Edit to see them too and allow you to edit these copies simultaneously — but no, Illustrator does not recognize them.
Please finish Global Edit, it is not complete.9 votes -
Adobe illustrator is running slow for no reason

Shift + click on menu items (File, Edit, Object, etc) w/o closing menu after click
Whenever I use the menu items (File, Edit, Object, Text, Select, Effects, View, etc) sometimes you go into a submenu, and select one option, e.g:
1. Go to View Menu
2. Select Perspective Grid sub-menu
3. Select Hide guides
4. Go to View Menu (again)
5. Select the Perspective Grid sub-menu (again)
6. Find and click my option (eg. "Snap to guides")Now if I could for example "shift+click" to keep the menus open after the click:
1. Go to View Menu
2. Select Perspective Grid sub-menu
3. Shift+click "hide guides"
4. Click "snap to grid" (without shift when I…2 votes -

Background Export (not save)
Ai now can save documents in background (partially, but still) — it saves a lot of time.
InDesign, on the other hand, can export in background (well, some file types).What if exporting process go in background too, leaving Ai unlocked?

Illustrator for Android
I was not being offhand Adobe when I replied "That will have to do."
re: the Illustrator version for Android that we were discussing, I am hoping that the Android version of Illustrator will be as fully versatile as the PC version with just as much ability.159 votes
