1. Workspace remembers panel size and collapsed state

   I use Illustrator on my laptop screen and also when plugged into an external monitor.
   When switching between these screens I often have to adjust which panels are collapsed, and the size of each panel, particularly when going from the smaller laptop screen to the external monitor.

   It would be very helpful if the workspace settings could remember not just which UI panels you have open, but their size and collapsed state. This way I could have a preference for when Illustrator is displaying on a 15" laptop and one for my 27" monitor.

2. Search items on canvas within Layer panel

   Hi, it's hard to find a certain path/vector art assets from the layers menu if the list is super long. My suggestion for the search function is when you click the asset on the art board, you can simply hover your mouse over the layer's list and click e.g. ',' (comma) and it shows you the right art asset from the layers' dropdown list.

   Thank you

   Illustrator offers a way to locate a selected object on canvas in Layers — with the Locate button at the bottom of the panel (the magnifying glass icon). If you have several objects selected, the topmost one would be scrolled to.

   There is a separate request to make this function work automatically.

   Another request asks for a hotkey for the button.

3. Make conical gradient

   Don't tell me about mesh trick, it has it's limits and surely is not that easy to use.
   Just make Conical type gradient from the box.

4. Make Document Color Mode menu available to set up as an action

   Make Document Color Mode a recordable action. I have to edit lots of files and they all have to be CMYK. If I forget one, it will look horrible on our website and we might never notice it. It would help a lot if color mode could be set up as an action.

   You can insert the 'Document Color Mode: CMYK' command into an action using the 'Insert Menu Item' from the Actions panel’s flyout menu

5. Pattern brush can be created while viewing preview as in pattern edit mode.

   Creating tiles and checking whether the seams are aligned is hard work.
   I think that it is convenient to have a function that can create a pattern brush while watching the preview as in the pattern edit mode.
   It seems that the efficiency of pattern brush creation will be greatly increased.

   (Translated to Japanese)
   タイルを作成し、つなぎ目が揃っているかを確認する作業は大変なので、パターン編集モードのようにプレビューを見ながらパターンブラシを作成できる機能がほしい。
   制作時の作業効率が大幅にUPすると思います。

6. Contextual Eyedropper Tool

   Currently, the Eyedropper Tool is an underutilized and often counter-intuitive tool that needlessly increases the complexity of a workflow because of its limitations. This- combined with Illustrator's poor color tools- often adds unnecessary time and effort to what should and could be more simplified tasks.

   For example, a common situation is that I have a shape with a fill color that I like, and I want another shape that has a stroke to also use that color, except only for the stroke. Currently, if I use the eyedropper tool on the filled shape, it will completely remove the stroke and add a fill, although the desired result is neither action. The workaround, of course, is to create a new swatch of that color, then make sure the stroke is selected, and then apply the swatch color to that stroke (as the other color tools are essentially useless for matching colors, given no live preview).

   This, of course, can get incredibly tedious when dealing with lots of colors and lots of fills and strokes, and it is not always desirable (nor, I would argue, should it be necessary) to always create swatches for working with colors.

   This situation is of course not limited to shapes. Often I will have text that I want to have a stroke with particular cap conditions, but want the color from another stroke. However, the current process of using the eyedropper tool strips the formatting of the stroke (or whatever properties) and takes on the properties of the selected object, even though all that was wanted was the color.

   A more elegant solution would be to make the eyedropper tool contextual, so that specific properties of the sampled object could applied without completely changing the selected object’s properties to conform entirely to the sampled object.

   I would suggest the following that the eyedropper tool be modified to work contextually much like the Pen Tool works contextually.

   The default state of the Eyedropper Tool would work as it currently does. However, there would then be different options that could be cycled through in the Eyedropper Tool, analogous to how there is the Pen Tool, the Add Vertex Tool, Subtract, Convert, etc.

   In this usage, holding a modifier key or choosing a different function of the eyedropper tool would allow one to decide which aspects of the sampled object to apply to the selected object.

   For example, if I have a circle with a red stroke and a box with a blue fill, and I want the circle to have the stroke be the same color as the box’s blue fill, I could hold Alt/Opt (as an example) to switch to the Color Sample Tool which would then sample only the color of the sampled object and apply it to either:

   1. Whichever property is currently active (e.g., Fill or Stroke)
   2. If the object has ONLY a Fill or ONLY a Stroke, it would automatically default to applying it to whichever is already extant.

   This could be extended to sample the color of the pixel sampled, or the entirety of the fill or stroke (e.g., for gradients, styles, etc.)

   Another option (perhaps by holding Alt+Cmd/Ctrl) would be the Stroke Style Sample Tool, which would sample the style of sampled object’s Stroke. This could even be given some further options (perhaps accessed by up or down arrows) to select only weight, weight and Caps style, Weight, Caps Style and Color, etc., all delineated by changes in the icon state.

   I think that a contextual Eyedropper Tool would be a more elegant way of handling color and style sampling in Illustrator and eliminate the current workarounds necessary for an efficient workflow.

   Currently, the Eyedropper Tool is an underutilized and often counter-intuitive tool that needlessly increases the complexity of a workflow because of its limitations. This- combined with Illustrator's poor color tools- often adds unnecessary time and effort to what should and could be more simplified tasks.

   For example, a common situation is that I have a shape with a fill color that I like, and I want another shape that has a stroke to also use that color, except only for the stroke. Currently, if I use the eyedropper tool on the filled shape, it will completely remove the stroke and… more

   The solution to that would be to activate a stroke if you want to apply a color to it, then to hold Shift when clicking a color — does not matter where this color is on a stroke or a fill. Illustrator then applies the picked color to the active fill/stroke, ignoring the source nature. There are two things to know — the cursor does not inform you about this mode (unlike the Alt-mode, should be addressed), and if you pick a color from a swatch — you’d get a screen representation of the color... harmless for RGB documents (if your color settings are in order), but crucial for CMYK documents (should be addressed too). Pleas comment back.

7. Create New Layers by Dragging and Dropping Groups or Objects from Original Layers

   Please give us the ability to drag and drop Objects in-between Layers in order to create new Layers--without having to "Collect in New Layer."

   On top of that, please retain the object's name as the Layer name when doing this action.

8. Count objects

   Count objects when using Select-->Same, Select-->Object, and "Start editing similar shapes together" commands. Sometimes "Start editing similar shapes together" does not select all similar shapes; therefore, an edit made using this feature may not edit all similar shapes, unbeknownst to the user. However, if I know how many shapes I have, then I can confirm that all shapes are selected when using these commands throughout the editing process. This is valuable because confirming the count of selections builds confidence that edits are made to all objects. Likewise, it also saves the editor time by mitigating the need to count all selected objects manually to ensure that all objects are selected.

9. Advanced Rename Tools for Artboards with Find & Replace

17. Save A Copy Action with current name of file

    Currently, if you create an Action and go to File > Save A Copy... with a PDF Preset and in specific folder or desktop etc., it saves the file name that you create the Action with in the Action.
    It doesn't update to the new file you are applying the action to. So if you run this action on several documents they all save over each other unless you manually change the file name in the operating system.
    It would be nice if there was an option that lets you add the file name to which the action is being applied to. Additionally in that same interface within actions it would be nice if we could add a suffix within instead of always having to save with the same file name in the same exact location.

20. Tangent Constraint or Advanced snapping system

    I work in Illustrator all the time and I ask my self why or how can I snap a line or a shape to the tangent of another shape like Autodesk AutoCAD's "Tangent Constraint", some say that I can start with the Line Segment tool and go from there building the shape, but this option will give me a limited movement and it's not practical like if we have a tangent constraint in Illustrator so we can build logos and shapes more easier and that will make illustrator go to perfection more and more.

    Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminSaurav Agrawal (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Hi everyone,

    We’re excited to announce that the Snap to Tangent feature is now available in BETA (starting with version 30.0).

    To use it, simply create a line with the Line Tool or Pen Tool and drag it toward the curve you want it to be tangent to. Once aligned, a “Tangent” label will appear.

    Along with tangential snapping, we’re also introducing Snap to Perpendicular, which makes it easy to draw lines that are perfectly perpendicular to existing straight lines.

    Both Snap to Tangent and Snap to Perpendicular are enabled by default. If you prefer not to use them, you can disable them anytime in Preferences > Smart Guides > Geometric Guides.

    Please try out the features and let us know what you think!
