1. Preferences did not copy from previous Ai version to Ai 2025

   The recent Illustrator update did not copy all the our previous settings & preferences. So we need to manually do it again. Previous versions doesn't have this issue? The only reason why we update is because our clients are using the latest Ai, but after update, preferences need to MANUALLY RE-DO! Why it keeps on happening! We are a 24/7 company. My goodness! Adobe!

2. Identify Newly Installed Fonts in Adobe Illustrator

   Problem:

   Managing large font collections in Adobe Illustrator can be challenging, especially when installing new fonts. With hundreds or even thousands of fonts, identifying recently added ones becomes a tedious task, often requiring manual scrolling and searching through the entire font menu.

   Proposed Solution:

   Implement a feature in Illustrator that allows users to easily identify newly installed fonts. Here are two potential options:

   Filter by Install Date: Add a sorting option within the font menu that displays fonts by their installation date. This would allow users to quickly see the most recently added fonts at the top of the list.

   "New Fonts" Badge: Introduce a temporary visual indicator (badge) next to newly installed fonts within the font menu. This badge would disappear after a designated period (e.g., one week) or upon user interaction (e.g., clicking the font).

   Benefits:

   Improved workflow efficiency by saving time spent searching for new fonts.
   Enhanced organization and management of large font libraries.
   Streamlined font discovery for design projects.
   Additional Considerations:

   The implementation should be lightweight and not impact application performance.
   Users should have the option to disable the badge or sorting by install date if preferred.

   Thank you for considering this feature request. We believe it would be a valuable addition to Adobe Illustrator and significantly improve the user experience for designers working with extensive font collections.

3. Remove the requirement for an application frame for multiple monitors

   I don't use the application frame, as it is less productive. Please remove the requirement to use an application frame for multiple monitors. There is NO technical reason why I can't simply drag a document from one monitor to another.

4. Menu and Tool UI text, sliders, buttons and fields should be easier to click. larger clickable area around each tool options.

   The clickable area of many UI elements are smaller than they appear making the process tedious an needlessly taxing.

   In my pic my cursor is clearly inside the opacity field but I cannot yet activate it. As it is currently design, I need to be unnecessarily precise. Makes no sense.

   The entire UI could stay the same size but clickable areas should become larger.
   Text based buttons like opacity should be treaded like buttons with a large clickable area (opacity in a box with ample padding).

   There would only be improvements to the UX, no downsides.
   If anyone has suggestions on how to better articulate or title, I'm open.

5. The Dimension Tool needs to have live updates

   I like the new dimension tool, but it's not very helpful unless it updates the displayed dimensions when the size of the dimensioned object is changed. It should stay attached to the selected points when the size of the shape is changed as well.

   Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The Beta 28.4.0.7 now create live dimension objects, that track and follow the changes to the measured objects: resizing, rotating, moving...

   
   

   As for now, moving only dimension breaks the link and expands the dimension (hopefully will change, and break the link only).

   Moving an object with its related dimension currently expand the dimension as well (hopefully won’t do it either).

   
   

   Please test the change and share feedback — it helps a lot!

6. Improve intertwine for gradients on strokes and effects

   Improve intertwine to allow gradients along a path before intertwine is made, then fully implement drop shadows to overlap intertwined segments. See attachment explaining workaround I produced along with high res rasterization to show where result is better than Illustrator display on monitor.

7. Embed as attachment a DXF version of the illustration in the Export as PDF option

   Most often when designing files for logo or marquing tools we need to export a viewable PDF version and e CAD file as DXF.
   In order to keep them synced, it's convenient to attach the DXF as an attachment in the PDF.

   Could it be possible to impement this workflow in Illustrator? either in the "Export PDF" option or via a script/action command?

   Many Thanks

8. Add metric units in 3D

   When generating 3D, even if 2D path could be very precise in dimension, the 3D volume is most often expressed in proportion (from 0 to 100%)

   When you try to export for 3D printing it could be more usable to be able to express in metric units...
   Like it has been done in Photoshop some times (years) ago ;-)

9. Isolation tints eyedropper colors from linked assets

   When using the eyedropper tool in isolation mode on artwork, the color is taken from the actual artwork even though isolation mode displays it as faded. When doing the same on linked assets, even if they are Illustrator files, the isolation mode fade gets applied to the sampled color. This means that you have to back out of isolation mode and direct-select it to sample the asset, or otherwise have already created a swatch before entering isolation.

   I think it would be nicer if Illustrator could treat the sampling of linked assets the same way it does for local artwork - sampling the actual colors instead of the colors after fading is applied.

10. Please add Illustrator option to maintain text color

    Could you please add an option for us to keep the color we chose for the text in an illustrator file we're currently working on?

    Meaning: Say I am writing text in a file, but I want separate text boxes and I want to keep the same color, rather than Illustrator defaulting back to black or whatever color was set as default in the preferences.

    I'd like to be able to check a box to keep the color I am using for the text rather than having to go back to the color and subsequently the default sizes set in the Main preferences. It's time consuming to keep having to change both the color and size for each text area I create in a document.

    Thank you.

11. Batch Generation on Gen Ai (text-to-vector) Features

    Do you know something that would be cool?
    Some script only for testing purposes, or maybe this could be a feature.

    The script could generate all the 5 levels of Detail of Text-to-Vector
    (and/or all levels of any feature that have or will have intensity control)

    I mean generating 5 copies, each one with the one of the 5 levels of the detail. and keep the other settings as the same for all the generations.
    (the same for other gen ai features)

    I do this manually, but I will be very happy with a feature that does this for me.
    I know this will spend a lot of credits. But we can compare faster, instead do it manually.
    What do you think people? Is this possible?

    I know that I will use it.

15. Ability to shift and organize projects on the Home screen

    Sometimes I want organize projects not based on time I worked on it or name, but just what I would like to be at the top, so I would like the freedom to move them around freely rather than having them restricted to those two choices.

16. Press Shift to constrain the angle of a radius / diameter dimension

    Shift is universally used to constrain a drawn art to 0-45-90° angles when using a tool. This applies to lines, rectangles, other shapes, anything that can be clearly oriented.

    The Dimension tool breaks the paradigm — we can’t hold shift to constraint the angle of the drawn dimension line when creating radii or dimeters.

    Some standards require us to have these lines too use integer steps, like 15° or 30°... this is very hard to comply now.

    Please either make the tool to respect angles set in Preferences > Smart Guides, or make it a separate setting in the tool’s options.

17. True customisable drawing 'angles' for all tools when using SHIFT key (pen, pencil, brush).

    This is severely lacking in illustrator and has been developed by Affinity Designer with work arounds (that do not work in a suitably fluid way) by Astute Graphics for Illustrator.
    Best case scenario something is implemented like Affinity Designer in which 'constraint angles' are replaced by ‘Grid and Snapping Axis’ you are able to set and save presets of angle settings.
    These axis are set and then can be activated as a constraint on your current tool by holding shift.
    Smart guides provides this in a VERY limited way right now, the UI is very rudimentary for a setting that is so important.
    These settings need to be centralised in one place, not hidden!

    Please add a very important abbreviation
    It is paste formatting
    (And copy the same text)
    I suggest its shortcut is ctrl + shift + V
    and
    ctrl + shift + C copy shortcut
    As in MS Word
    It's an important shortcut and makes it much easier at work. Please let me know when it's activated
