1. Make Layers Panel Options global (not per document) and keep it after relaunch

   The default row size is far too small on a 5K screen. I set my row size to be at least 50px, but I have to do this every time I start a new doc. It would be nice if defaults could be set in preferences.

2. Please give us a way to disable newbie help

   I know the "Tour" window goes away if you skip it 3 times, but this is professional software we should have a way to disable ALL automatic help features. Also this doesnt need to reset when a new version of illustrator is sent out.

3. Allow auto update scheduling

   The auto update feature is nice, but it might become a bit of a hassle as you need to close the apps to update.

   I would propose to have a drop down option to allow the Adobe CC suite to

   • Download the updates on the background and then ask when to install, thus not getting in the way of on going work

   • More importantly, allow an scheduling of said background download, so it can be downloaded during the least network stressed time of the day.

4. Paragraph shading, borders, rules

   Can we get Paragraph Shading and Border like InDesign?
   Right now I am forced to draw a rectangle behind the text I intend to highlight.

5. Hide Pie Widget

   In the same way as we can hide the corner widget I'd really appreciate the ability to hide the pie widget (while still being able to see the bounding box) I've never used, but I often scale eclipses from the centre right anchor point. Which is impossible with the pie widget thing.

7. The Color panel pops up when you click on stroke/fill selector

   The Color panel pops up every time you click on the stroke or fill selectors. There is no way to disable this panel from popping up, even if you close it, it will open and come to the forefront. Many of us don't need or use the color panel; we use the swatches or other panel. Why is this panel being forced on those of us who don't use/want it?

8. Improve Graph / Chart tool

   Current graph tool in Illustrator has many limitations that need fixing. Following are some of the problems in Graph tool:

   • No value labels
   • Data window that requires you to remove characters such as commas
   • Resetting of chart upon making changes
   • Resizing issues (e.g. with bounding box)
   • Missing basic chart types like *****
   • No support for templates
   • Also the tool doesn't support making new chart types, such as attaching data to any attribute of the artwork.

   Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

   Please share your thoughts on the following:

   1. Would it make sense to have a separate desktop app, just to create charts, and bring them inside Illustrator or InDesign? It may not be on cloud.

   2. Or would you rather have us work on building it within Illustrator?

   Thanks

10. Separate "Random" checkboxes for every parameter of the transform each command and effect.

    Seperate "Random" checkboxes for every parameter of the "Transform Each" command and effect.

    This would allow the user, in one step, to randomize only the selected parameter, (say the vertical scale) but still transform the other parameters (maybe rotation and number of copies) uniformly.

11. Imported SVG path elements - always black fill

    I am using the latest version of AI (early 2019).

    I notice that SVG path elements often lose their fill color. (They are always black.)

    Have not been able to pin down the exact circumstances where this fails, but I am attaching a bare bones file which exhibits the issue clearly.

    This file displays perfectly in (e.g.) chrome. There's a red and a green filled path.

    But when importing the SVG to AI, the 'red' path loses its fill and becomes black. The green fill is honored on input. I can't see any meaningful difference between the way the fill is described. The two paths are congruent.

    Note: The file was originated in AI. The 'red' fill CSS rule was added manually in a text editor after export. I believe it is well-formed SVG code.

    You can swap the class attributes between the two paths (in a text editor) and it will fail to import the fill for the other path.

    If you change the classname from "aha_red" to "st1" (both in the style element and in the class attribute for the path) it works fine.

    Can it be that AI is fussy about classnames 'not originated here'?

    No problem with polygon, rect, circle etc. Only path elements!

    And (BTW, GRR!) this webform wont accept SVG files. Had to rename it to .txt.

12. Syncable Color Swatch/Palette Library

    it would be nice to have one library with different categories.. you update it once and see it in every illustrator file!
    this would be very useful for personal use but also in teams, somewhat like a kuler for illustrator.

13. You can't enter isolation mode when nothing is selected

    Sometimes I want to create artwork without messing up with existing one, and without locking/hiding anything (because it's require for other operations).
    Sane way is to enter isolation mode and start there.
    But NO, AI won't let you isolate empty space! And I have to create one thing (trying to not auto-connect to existing paths), then isolate it and finally draw in peace.
    If you afraid that many users will double-click nothing and struggle understanding what has happened, make it an option.

14. Is it possible to custom CSS classes? not Id's (so layers)

15. CC cloud library "view by group" option when relink images...

    The addition of "view by group" option to organize assets has become paramount to manage great projects. But... I've faced the problem that when I want to relink any file from Cloud Libraries, the panel appears without any grouping or organization, needing to search through houndreds of individual asstes, manytimes sharing same name, and small enough to be undifferenciated each other.

16. Make it easier to use the color in paint bucket. it defaults to greyscale and hard to find way out of that. it should just be intuitive.

    JUST MAKE IT EASY TO USE

    I just want to get things done quick. why will an image we import to vectorize automatically be greyscale? AND WHY DO YOU MAKE IT HARD TO FIND HOW TO GET COLOR IN THERE??????

    old forum articles are obsolete, so why not just make it easier to use in the first place

17. Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#

    Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
    Hello,

    i'm developting a small library to access PathObjects in Illustrator (works fine for CS2, CS5) - but i have massive performance problems with CC2019. I am using VS2017.

    Code looks like:

    Type AIType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(AIAppName);
    dynamic illuApp = Activator.CreateInstance(AIType);

    if (illuApp == null)
    {
    return;
    }

    if (illuApp.Documents.Count < 1)
    {
    return;
    }

    System.Array lll = illuApp.ActiveDocument.selection;
    if (lll != null)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i < lll.Length; i++)
    {
    dynamic path = lll.GetValue(i);
    if (path != null)
    {
    var lll2 = path.PathPoints;
    Application.DoEvents();
    int iSelCount = lll2.Count;
    if (iSelCount >= 4)
    {
    string sss = path.typename;
    float dH = (float)(path.Height / dScale);
    float dW = (float)(path.Width / dScale);
    float dL = (float)(path.Left / dScale);
    float dT = (float)Math.Abs(path.Top / dScale);
    dynamic obCol = path.FillColor;
    sss = obCol.typename;
    Color col = Color.Black;
    if (sss.Contains("CMYK"))
    {
    var r = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Cyan / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    var g = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Magenta / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    var b = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Yellow / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
    }
    else if (sss.Contains("RGB"))
    {
    int r = (int)(obCol.Red);
    int g = (int)(obCol.Green);
    int b = (int)(obCol.Blue);
    col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
    }

                Data.Add(NewInfo (dL, dT, dW, dH, col);
            }
        }
    }
    

    }

    Until CS5, processing 1000 selected rectangles need a couple of seconds, but on newer CC Versions it needs MINUTES.

    I use exactly the same code - is there something i am missing?

    Mainly accessing "path.PathPoints" (needs ~ 15 msec.) and "path.FillColor" (needs ~ 20 msec.) are time consuming.

    Thanks in advance for any hint! I have the performance issues on Win 7 and on Win 10.

18. Dark mode / Light mode (Automatic)

    Now that macOS support a real light/dark mode, it would be really nice to have this option enabled automatically in any Adobe products when I switch from light to dark and vice versa in my system preferences.

    It would be even cooler if you added an option to change the interface automatically depending on the time of the day.

20. Please remove the pop-up tip from the Color Themes panel

    It's difficult to try out colors in this panel, because a pop-up tip appears right underneath your pointer every time. I'd love to see the "Click to set active color" pop-up removed, as it makes the colors difficult to select and it really isn't even that informative.
