color swatch meta fields assignment feature
please add a few extra fields to give greater depth to the swatches
i noticed that you have nicely chosen names like history etc for the theme swatch libraries yet when i go to create a new swatch the panel does not give me the option to attach a meta descriptor tag cloud to the color swatch, think about how this feature works on full images in the bridge. how excellent this would be at the swatch level. we could search for swatches by meta tag, i could see a dedicated program for using a eye dropper tool and assigning…2 votes -
Recent fonts button in character panel
We can disable the recents fonts list in the character panel by making the number of recent fonts 0 in preferences panel. While working it always changes if you need to see recents fonts or not. I suggest to put a "show recent fonts" button the top of the character panel, near the "show recently added", "show activated fonts" buttons. The name of button can be "Show recents fonts". It is that simple. And we again can define the number of recent fonts from preferences panel.

Advanced 360° circular duplication - side by side distribution
Circular duplication already exists, but not the advanced function that distributes duplications so that they touch each other side by side and the ability to adjust their magnification.

The ability to offset paths multiple times all at once
The ability to offset paths multiple times all at once would be so useful!
Freehand used to have this ability. Comes in handy!
As it is now I need to go in multiple separate times to do this. Makes it awkward and time-consuming.

I am trying to display on Illustrator the diagraming of sentences. Here is an example: Constructing that image requires typing on a pat
See attached file with a screen shot of what "Type on a path" might accomplish if the path were to be made visible on a project for diagramming sentences.

Allow color coded top layers
Please allow us to color code the top layer/s. For those whom have to work with 30 plus layers the tiny color slice indicator (which is just the color of the selected vector line, not the layer) is not enough. If I could color code the layers it would speed up my job significantly and our company. Thank you!

Improve resolution of dock panels so they're the same as other Adobe apps
The resolution of the dock panels (Layers, Art boards, Character etc) are all a lot bigger than in other Adobe apps, please make these the same size as the other apps.
I have a second screen with all relevant dock panels opened. If they were the same resolution as PS/ID then more could fit on the screen.1 vote -
Just fix the grammer
The "document will be closed after the save is complete" popup has a button that says "close anyways." That's hillbilly, not English.

escape full screen
Why does the Escape key exit the user from full screen mode in Illustrator. Why does Illustrator not behave like Photoshop?
The F key could cycle through the different screen modes: Full screen, Full Screen with Menu Bar, Full Screen Mode.
Escape should have no effect on this because it's used while drawing or typing.

I think Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it into iIllustrator. It would be a fantastic addition .
Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it as a portion of Illustrator. It would be a fantastic addition. I use it all the time but the developer doesn't seem to keep it up to speed with Illustrator.

Non-breaking space (NBSP) should work
AI ignores NBSP when it's places as symbol. 'No break' option is an option but ridiculously hard to be applied quickly. Anyway NBSP should work
40 votesIllustrator Beta 29.2.10 now supports Nonbreaking space (U+00A0).
It can also be added with Type > Insert WhiteSpace Character > Nonbreaking Space command.
Please try this build and see if it works for you as expected.
My sincere congratulations to everyone. This symbol means a lot!

Regression: Illustrator CC saves each instance of symbol in .ai file separately
How to reproduce this problem in Illustrator СС:
Create clean AI file with A4 page.
Place any pixel image (with size ~10 mb) embedded to this page. Save file, it will have size about ~10 mb)
Make this image as symbol and remove object from page.
Place symbol to page one time.
Save file. File size will be, eg, ~10 mb.
Now place same symbol to page more 4 times, total will be 5 images on page.
Save file and check size - it will be increased to ~50 mb.
As result, you will have ai file, containing only 5…

Editable stroke profiles
Add a robust window where you can non-destructively edit the stroke profile (maybe with Bezier handles). This would allow users to taper strokes beyond the good but limited presets in real time.

I hope CS5.6 sale
私はＣＳ３使用時の機能要望をいくつか取り入れて戴いたＣＳ５．５ユーザーです。
ＣＣは経済的負担が大きいので使っていません。
Ｗｉｎ１０にＣＳ５．５を入れましたが、特に問題なく使えています。
ＣＣになってからデザイン業界を除く個人ユーザーが更新しなくなり、
古いバージョンのまま使っているユーザーが多いのは認識されているはずです。
画面デザイン的に繫がりがあるのがＣＳ５．５までで、
ＣＳ６からは大きく変更になりました。
ＯＳが実質Ｗｉｎ１０だけになり、動作環境の面でバージョンアップを迫られているユーザーが多いはずですが、
それでもＣＣは無理と考える人が大多数です。
バージョンアップしたいユーザーが受け入れやすいＣＳ５．５をベースに、
パッケージ（売り切り）版を再販して貰えば、需要がある事は明らかです。
ここで、最低２つの機能改善を行い、ＣＳ５．６としてリリースしてはどうでしょう。
機能改善は、
１．描画編集中などにナビゲーター画面が逐一全画面更新され、データが重いとスマートガイドやコピー＆ペーストなどのキー動作が不安定になる。長い文字の入力編集中は特に酷い。これを極端な話、ナビゲータ画面に付けた「更新」ボタンを押すまで画面更新しなくていいようにする。
２．現状、文字の縁取りが文字の塗りの上になっているが、文字の塗りの下に設定できるようにする。これで一々「文字を全てコピー」「背面ペースト」「縁取り設定」をやらずに済む事になり、データが軽くなり、修正も楽になる。なぜ今までこれが出来ないのか不思議と思える基本的な機能です。1 vote -
An option so anchor points within a user specified proximity of the selected anchor point will move relative to it.
So many times have I found a need for an option like this. An option where you would be able to move an anchor point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it.
Some complex vector images with lots of anchor points can be hard to reshape, whereas, instead of moving every single anchor point to expand a section or redoing it, you would select a single point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it's position.
