Please print "User Guides" books again. You do not need to constantly update them:
Physical "User Guide" books were far more quicker and easier to use to get answers to questions on how to use Adobe Illustrator. The book form could come out ever two years at most, including new updates, when it reaches a certain amount of pages, start a new volume. If you already have this online, or in a PDF format, please let me know where I can find it on your website and if you do have it online, does it have an "index" to look items up? Or just a search window? Thank you.

Set type units individually instead of globally
It would be really nice to allow the Cap Height and X Height to show in inches, independently from the Em Box units. I know this can be changed gloabally in preferences, but in my line of work, I need use pts for Em Box and inches for Cap Height, and I use them both in the same file for different purposes. I also know that I can just type in 3" in the box and it will set correctly, even though it shows in pts. However, memorizing the pt conversion for every height increment is ridiculous, as is having…

Straight lines with Eraser, Brush, Pencil tools
Many users have been asking for this feature for a long time: draw a line between two points with the eraser freely, without it being at 45°.
Why is that not possible? Like drawing with solid lines, without having to convert the contour line thickness (like the Blob Brush). Or constrain the brush as a spot between two precise places, which would amount to the same.4 votes -
Pen Tool and Curvature Tool
All my design products are from adobe, but, to be honest the path control is very primitive. The best path control tool in every single aspect could be found in CorelDraw. I think it is gonna help if you study the CorelDraw path control tool.

Improve Blob Brush
Hi, I use very often the Blob Brush tool, I think it could be a real plus to make more with it. First, to add constraint between 2 points of click . Two, make more steps between precise and rounded in the option panel. and Three make the same thing for the eraser too, because it seems to be the same as the blob brush but in negative. Is it technically possible?

You should be able to delete a layer with the delete key.
Like in any other Adobe program you should be able to just press the delete button instead of dragging the layer to the trash bin icon.

The property bar can be made better.
I am a designer from Russia and I am delighted with the "properties" panel. The idea of making the panel universal is fascinating. I see the future of Ai in the fact that the program itself will open the necessary settings, depending on the selected object. Unfortunately, the "properties" panel is far from ideal, but I am sure that it is the future. My idea is this. This panel cannot be used by beginners, so the explanations are meaningless. I think all explanations should be removed, and functions should be replaced with buttons. Then, perhaps, this panel will fit everything…

Support for Windows 64-bit (ARM64, e.g. Snapdragon X Elite) devices (including Copilot+, Surface)
Illustrator and Photoshop support for ARM64 devices would be great. I own a Surface Pro X and would love to continue using Core Adobe apps on that device. 32 bit performance is quite poor.
39 votesIllustrator Beta is now live on Windows for ARM devices (with Qualcomm Snapdragon X-Elite processors) through emulation mode — for the English locale.
The product team is actively exploring the availability for non-English users, and expects it to be available in a future releases.

「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。

Export for screens: poor JPG compression and custom JPG settings
The compression and quality when "exporting for screens" in JPG is really bad compared to "Export for web".
- You cannot customize the quality of the JPG
- It embeds the color profile in the file, even if you have selected not to do so.

Allow font size, leading to be blank in paragraph & character styles (as in InDesign).
In InDesign, you can leave the font size of a paragraph or character style blank, allowing you to apply a style while preserving the font size that's already set (critical for different sized documents). In Illustrator, while you can create a style with a blank size, it automatically reverts to 12pt.

Switch between stroke colour and fill colour for multiple objects
You can switch between fill and stroke of an object's colour. It would be great to be able to do the same for multiple colours (i.e ? symbol for several colours at once)

Name a swatch with its colour values
I want to be able to name a swatch with its colour values - just like in InDesign - simply by ticking the checkbox - see the screenshot from InDesign..
Let's say I have an imported document with a lot of RGB colours. The document needs to be converted to CMYK. After conversion all the colours are now CMYK but still have their names in RGB, I don't want this and I don't want to have to re-name each one by typing all the colour values!!
Please give us this same option to re-name a colour with its values, with…7 votes -
Distribute non-uniform objects equally
Would love to have a function that would arrange/distribute different non-uniform objects evenly within a prescribed area. This would be similar to how the current horizontal and vertical "distribute spacing" works but across a two dimensional area rather than just one dimension. The spacing should based on the edge of each object, not from the bounding box.
This function would be valuable for:
-creating unique patterns
-quickly arranging objects for a layout involving many individual objects
-maximizing space for printing/die cutting individual custom pieces such as stickersUser defined parameters could include:
-apply to selected objects
-fit within artboard
-fit…2 votes -

Zoom In On Navigator
Zoom In On Navigator
- When I am using the navigator, I'd like to see how certain areas of my document will look when printed. I would like to be able to zoom in on the navigator. See attached file.
- This would help me greatly because I could see small changes and large changes, at a better scale, while not making the navigator take up too much space within your layout.

Select all objects in view
It should be possible to select all objects that are in view (the selection excludes locked objects).
This is a very useful time-saver in many other applications.3 votes -
