Batch Copy Transform Data (Dimensions, Location, Rotation) between Objects
I often need to update assets by swapping in objects, placed to match existing position, dimensions and rotation data. Would it be possible to copy all transform data at once rather than one attribute at a time?
Blender is an example of software that does this well.
(Pardon me if this has already been requested, or there is a better existing way to do this. I haven't yet found either.)2 votes -

Enable tool palettes to ‘Show Options’ by default as a Preferences setting (all CC apps)
I am posting this under Illustrator but it applies to many (most?) Creative Cloud apps.
Many (most?) tool palettes only show a subset of their options by default. To see all options one has to choose the palette's popup menu and click ‘Show Options’.
When working on a smallish screen (as I generally do on my laptop) it makes sense to frequently put palettes away, so this is incredibly annoying because the choice doesn't persist.
When a palette has been closed or minimised, one has to do this every time one wants to access an option input that Adobe has…

Add Embroidery Digitizing Features
Please add the ability to do embroidery digitizing within this program; including the ability to export in the most common embroidery file types. If not, a standalone program added to Creative Cloud would be greatly appreciated. This would be especially useful on Macs, because there aren't as many software programs that specialize in digitizing as there are on PC.

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.

I would like to be able to set the grid origin when editing a symbol.
If I open a symbol from the symbols window, the grid position is always offset from the origin of the symbol. It is not currently possible to set the grid origin here. Why doesn't the grid origin set to the registration point of the symbol? At least an option to do this would be great.

Add DXF/DWG Export To Increased Canvas Size In Illustrator 24.2 (and later)
Would it be possible to add DXF/DWG as an export option for the new expanded max canvas size (Illustrator, 24.2 and forward). The increased canvas size is wonderful, however as someone who will move to-scale sketches from Illustrator into a 3D modeling program, not having DXF/DWG exports at the new max size makes the use of the new canvas size somewhat limited.

Somehow save font info after outlining.
It sure would be pretty awesome if there was a way to record what the font was while outlining for future reference.

Select multiple identical objects and make each its own group.
I'd love to see a feature in which you could select a bunch of similar objects, each of which had multiple parts, and it would automatically make each individual object into its own group. For example, I just drew an oval with a line down the middle - which is a leaf. I copied and pasted it 100 times but didn't make it into it's own group first (oops). If I could just select them all and make each it's own group, it would save me going back and grouping them first and doing it all again. They're a pain…

Allow us to convert all points of shape.
Why does selecting all the points of a shape suddenly mean you can't convert them to smooth or corner? You should be able to convert them--however you wish--with all the points selected.

Right click object to hide that layer/object without opening the Layers panel
Is it possible to create a function with right click object to hide that object or layer? Instead of select object and then hide it in the Layers panel? For some reason I always try to do that though that function doesn't exist.

Auto white spaces detection in the edge of Artboard!
Make auto detect tool that can notify you when there is a white space in the edges of the Artboard. It would be great tool, most designers are not aware that the background is not fully filled the artboard! or the image size is not exactly fit the artboard!
Thank you

Paragraph creation threshold with text tool
I'm constantly creating tiny little paragraph containers when I intend to create a single line of text. To prevent this, implement a threshold of mouse movement (or dragging) within which a single line of text can be created. For instance, if I click and accidentally drag across 5 pixels, there should be a reasonable assumption I want a single line of text. There's little chance any of us want to create a 10x10-pixel paragraph container. And if we did, we'd understand that, in order to create a paragraph, we have to create one above the threshold width, then resize it.

ペンツール使用時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
ペンツール使用時に、コマンドキーをヘ押下した際に、ダイレクト選択ツールに変わるが、他のツールでは問題ないのに、ペンツール時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
CS6の頃は使えていたのは間違い無いのだけども、CCのどこかで使えなくなった

Path-to-path collision snapping
It would be incredibly useful to have, for example, two circles snap to each other not only at the anchor points but also at any point along the paths. This would help a lot when using Shape Builder tool, because at the moment most of the time you either get a tiny gap between the shapes (then the Shape Builder tool doesn't work), or the shapes overlap (then the Shape Builder tool leaves unnecessary anchor points which you have to meticulously fix).

"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…

Font style not applying correctly
Using the character window.
When trying to alter pre-typed text, changing using Font Family menu in character window works, but changing using Font Style menu does not (the window states that it has changed, but the preview does not show the change)Operating System: Mac OS 11.4

Pushing Fresco projects to Illustrator retains the layers, but does not bring any of the color palette
Illustrator should create a swatch for every color used in a Fresco project that is imported.
