Can we have nicer gradient when we use spot color to gradient?
Look like the tone was mixed with desaturated tone at the middle part when we use pantone / spot colour we created.
When we output to print, the desaturated tone is still visible.
Attached the screenshot for your reference. Thank you!4 votes -
Image overlay
It would be nice if there were options to create an image overlay and retain the image's saturation like in photoshop. The current methods I use desaturate the photos in my email and website headers.

Locked Object as Key Object
It would be very helpful to have the option to enable a locked object to be selected as a key object. I would make aligning object workflows to be slightly more efficient.

Date of last modification of artboard
It would be great for everyone who makes document with multiple rounds of revisions to have a feature that will keep track of last date and time of modifications.

Adobe Please Update Image Trace
Totally understand the business aspects of focusing on tools which have the most users. However Image Trace appears stuck in a time warp, and not moving forward. May be stretching but with the AI, ML tools Image Trace should be far more capable than the current form. The inability to distinguish lines in an image is of concern. You should be able to draw more interest to take raster drawings to the next level with Illustrator. Has been almost 24 years when this was released. Definitely time to take to the next level.

Make scrollbars higher contrast or allow customizable colors for them
The gray on gray scheme of the slider and handle in the scrollbars is extremely difficult to work with. Higher contrast is needed or provide the ability to customize the slider color. This is an accessibility issue for older or visually impaired users!

Make an option for shadows from separate 3D objects to be unified to avoid overlapping darkness
Why do shadows overlap if applied to multiple shapes at the same time?
Shadows are subtractive and so applying the shadows individually to each shape makes no sense as you end up with a darker patch where the two objects' shadows overlap, which is not how shadows work. There should be an option to toggle to apply shadows as one unified "shape" or effect so that this is not an issue.1 vote -

Calculate surface area with Dimension tool
With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?
3 votesThe team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.
If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

Allow us to set up the default and stepped Dimension Line Offset for the Dimension tool
When we Opt/Alt-click the object or just click a segment, Ai creates a dimension with some predefined distance between the object and the dimension line.
We can’t control it (plus we can’t choose which sides to use for Opt/Alt mode anymore, unlike in early Betas).Also, we need to be able to hold a modifier while creating a dimension to constrain this offset to a set parameter, in a stepped manner, — something third-party plugins like BPT Pro and CADtools can do.

Make more improvements to Dimensions
Some add'l improvements that would be greatly appreciated:
• Higher precision settings. At least to 1/8" but 1/16" would be great as well.
• More formatting options for foot inch/ e.g. 7" instead of 0'-7"
• Dimension text centered with the dimensions line as option, with a break in the line to accommodate the text.
• Scale options (custom as well) in architectural format in addition to engineering format (e.g. 1/2" = 1'-0" in addition to 1:24)
• Options to show dimension text rotated 90° - separate options for vertical, vs horizontal dimensions.
• For "Line Type", give us all…3 votes -
Clickable hyperlinks embedded text
To be able to embed text for example for this:
https://thankyou.my.id/ for text thank you
<a href="https://thankyou.my.id/">thank you</a>
or <a href=http://www.example.com>Example</a>18 votes -
Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object... like Photoshop has.
Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object, Type, Select, Effect, View, Help.
Like Photoshop has.
Explanation: Reading through the menu items is much more intuitive when learning about the application capabilities in regards to many features. Going from Photoshop to Illustrator, there are many similarities however the unique separations of the features such as accessing and interacting with the layers is one of the main inhibitors during my orientation to using illustrator to the degree to which I use photoshop.

功能请求：关于画板移动
下面是使用场景：
当一个大项目中有多个小项目（多个画板），每个小项目都需要标注说明性文字。当我要把所有（或部分）小项目移动到画布的其他位置，目前我只能对画板进行移动，每个画板的说明文字无法一起移动。当前的操作是，画板和文字需要分别移动，非常麻烦，而且项目多的时候容易出错。希望能增加相应的功能！2 votes -

Press Alt while creating a radius / diameter dimension to toggle these two mode on the fly
Currently Dimension tool requires you to orient your cursor when creating a radius or diameter: inside of the clicked shape to create a diameter or outside to make it a radius.
This is very nifty, sure.
But:The tool hardly tells you about it when you draw. The only hint Ai give us is a blue bar (that we all tired of seeing, because everything in Ai now pops and shouts and distracts — I’m speaking about use, Text To Vector!) — I attach the screenshot of it for those who blinked and missed it.

Symbol visibility in Bridge
What about having Bridge to manage Symbols? Edit parameters, meta data and other things that could be good for such a feature.

Add a 'Select More' menu option
When working with a very busy file, it's often much easier to select an anchor or line segment than an object.
My idea is to have a menu option that selects the object or objects which currently have anchors or line segments selected.
A user could select an object by first selecting one of its anchors, and then using this menu option.
If the user hits this feature multiple times, it could continue to 'select more' by, for example, selecting all siblings within the current group, and then the group itself, and then the group's siblings etc.
