Dragging with Gradient tool over object without a gradient fill does nothing
I have a path I want to be filled with a gradient.
I select it, pick Gradient tool, drag it over the path... and nothing happens.
WHY.
Because AI demands that you apply gradient fill first.
Well, if I'm dragging over the path with a dedicated tool — what else would I want AI to do? Just apply it in the moment I started dragging.13 votes -
Ellipse Tool Properties/Dialogue
Ellipse Tool, if make an ellipse then you have a little squire pointing to make ellipse’s End Angle and Pie Angle, but you do not have these feature available in its properties/Dialogue/Menu when you just select Ellipse Tool and you clip on the canvas or on Art Board you have no control features for that and you also do have the same features in Control Bar and Useless Properties Panel. I hope in the future version there must be added a dialogue for proper setting and measurements like retangle tool.

It would be great if guides stayed viewable in trim view.

Disappering file info
When exporting document from Illustrator by ”Save for Web (legacy)...” File info just disappear from final document. That is quite annoying because I'll have to fill all fields once again.

Extend canvas dimension limit
Can't work with bigger posters. Coreldraw handles it like a champ and illustrator makes me look bad on that field.

Export Artboards as PowerPoint or Keynote slides
I like using Illustrator to design complexe slides or icons, illustrations… for my slides and I’d like to export them by maintaining vector capabilities to have the ability in PowerPoint or Keynote to change their color and to scale them freely.
I know plug-ins or some export format will somehow works for some cases.
But it will be so nice to have a straight forward export!9 votes -
In actions, ability to copy a dimension from transform window and paste in a move command
In actions, the ability to copy a horizontal or vertical dimension from the transform palette so that it can be pasted in another command (usually move).
For example, I'd like to be able (in an action) to copy the height of a selected object, then paste that elsewhere, such as move that distance, or create a rectangle with that measurement as one of the dimensions.6 votes -
Nuance de ton direct
Il serait utile de pouvoir créer une nuance "ton direct" réunissant plusieurs tons direct en pouvant sélectionner le pourcentage de chaque nuance, pour éviter de faire une superposition d'objets en surimpression. Un peu de la même manière qu'avec le nuancier quadri, mais avec des tons directs : le même objet pourra attaquer plusieurs séparations avec une trame différente.
ex : 877 à 100% + Reflex blue à 5 %1 vote -
Rasterize multiple objects to separate images at once
It would be great to select multiple objects and apply the rasterize settings to each of them as seperate images in one go.
currently i have to select each object and rasterize them individually. would save a lot of time if there was a checkbox that allowed you to apply it to all of the objects separately instead of rasterizing them together as one big image

Add a floating info box for Color Picker and Guides
When dragging a guide from the ruler, a floating info box with the coordinates would be very helpful.
Same for the color picker - a floating color value box, in addition the Info panel that can be hidden when the tool is active.

3D Revolve Perspective is Always Off Center
The perspective setting for the 3D revolve effect seems to be centered on the OBJECT being revolved rather than the AXIS of the revolve. That means that adding any perspective skews the object off-center (see lower cylinder in attached example screenshot).
Could a setting be added to shift the center of the perspective to the axis (among other options)? Sorry if a setting exists and I just can't find it.

Highlight/Select values within box on panels on single click
I am unsure if this is OS specific or not, but it would be a welcome quality-of-life change. I use an Apple laptop and a Windows desktop.
Within Photoshop on Mac, if you click within the 'Character Size' box inside the Properties panel the entirety of the characters are highlighted to then be replaced. Unknown to me, this behavior is actually not consistent throughout every other Adobe program on Mac OS (as it should be).
It seems that on Windows, the behavior is set to only highlight on a double-click as well. This isn't the end of the world but…

Blend Tool Default Settings
I use the blend tool primarily to create specified steps between objects. The tool always defaults to smooth color spacing. It would be great to be able to set a default spacing mode. In fact, it would be even better if the properties panel showed blend tool options.

Option + Delete to erase whole words
To speed up deleting words, I wish Illustrator has an option to delete whole words using the both delete keys (num keyboard).

Opening Fresco files from the cloud with Illustrator
Hello, it's really great that Illustrator can now open files from the cloud. But unfortunately not the sketches from Fresco. You still have to export them first and then you can open them in Illustrator. It would be great if you could change that, i.e. open PSDC files from the cloud in Illustrator. Thanks a lot

1 voteHi,
You are now able to send Fresco files to Illustrator on the desktop with the latest version of Fresco and Illustrator. You can also place embed Fresco files in Illustrator. Please give it a try. In the future, we will also add smoother options to copy paste objects on both the Illustrator surfaces – desktop and iOS.
Thanks,

Make the steps in the tutorial match the actual steps a person would take to achieve the finished product.
The steps described in the tutorials do not match the actual steps taken in order to achieve the end product. My guess is this is to frustrate those who take advantage of the 7-day free trial into purchasing the monthly or yearly subscription. I think that stinks. How can a person judge whether or not they want to subscribe to the monthly or yearly plan if they can't even manage the tutorials? If your user menus have changed within the application, then the tutorials need to be updated to reflect this.

Opening menu customization workflow
As an option for those starting out with Adobe Illustrator, I would like to see you develop a master menu setup process to help me find all the tools I may need for my project. It could begin by asking me/allowing me to select from a list all the things I will want to do with a new project or a newly-opened image file, Adobe or otherwise.
Those tools and options selected would appear in a dock-able menu window.
Then, based on known user workflows of different experience levels, Illustrator could recommend additional tools and even tutorials for the different…1 vote -
Tool Bar exportable.
Serait il possible de pouvoir exporter ses Barre d'outils perso?
Comme les espaces de travail il serait pertinent de pouvoir sauvegarder ses paramétrages d'interface pour les récupérer d'une version à l'autre, ou d'une machine à l'autre (changement d'ordinateur, ou de plateforme).
Ce serait également pratique dans le cas de la perte des Barres d'outils de base quand Ai ne les retrouve plus.Merci

Select "Replace" by default once a clipped linked element is selected
This is a very simple fix for something extremely frustrating: once a clipped linked image is selected (using the direct selection tool), the importing option should be to Replace the element by default (instead of having to manually select it EVERY SINGLE TIME). If nothing is selected, the logical default behavior then would have the Replace option unchecked.

Mobile Banking to Pay for Illustrator & Reduced fees based on country specific financial status.
Countries like Bangladesh faces a situation where using cracks is the standard practice. And as a Bangladeshi I would like to put two requests:
Reduce prices depending on geocultural financial status. In Bangladesh, 4$ - 5$ would be a standard price.
Keep options of using local mobile banking services to pay for adobe subscriptions. In Bangladesh the most popular is "Bkash".
If you consider my suggestions, your revenue would increase for sure. And people like me would not be forced to use *****.
Thanks.1 vote
