Allow to sort swatches by Hue, Saturation, Luminosity and other values
Right now AI allow to globally sort swatches by name and kind. It is not enough though.
1. I need to sort each group in it's own way (automatically) — thefeore I need context menu to work with color groups with needed options
2. I need more sorting parameters
3. I need each group to remember sorting and have a checkmark near it in said context menus
I guess it could also be tucked in palette menu, but I can't give you a way to keep compatibility with current global sorting behavior.
Please figure this out.56 votes -
Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once
We need to multiple relink.
I want to place the only object I choose instead of the hundred objects I choose.139 votesThis is finally available in Beta 30.6.0.75
When you replace a linked image in Illustrator, you can now choose to apply that change everywhere the image appears in your file (even across multiple artboards and repeated layouts).
How in works:
- Select one or more links in the Links panel and click Relink
- In the file picker, note the 'Replace:' dropdown below the options
- Choose 'All Links (N)' to replace every instance of that file in the document
- Choose 'Selected Links (N)' to replace only the instances you selected
- Pick the replacement file and click Place
Try it and leave a comment if it works and it works like you need it to.
Also, please don’t forget to upvote this request if you are interested — Display copies of links' duplicates as instances, like in InDesign

Melhoramento na ferramenta Seleção Direta para demarcadores, segmentos e pontos de ancoragem
Gostaria de solicitar algumas ideias para deixar mais dinâmico os trabalhos de tratamento vetorial. A ideia seria juntar algumas ferramentas em apenas uma, ou simplesmente atribuir mais funções na ferramenta de "Seleção Direta" (principalmente)
• Utilizar na ferramenta de "Seleção Direta" um Duplo Click para transformar o segmento de um demarcador selecionado em uma reta e, novamente com um duplo click e mantendo segurado, arrastaria para transformar o segmento em uma curva novamente.
• Com uma tecla de comando precionada, ela poderia adicionar ou excluir pontos de ancoragem, isso deixaria o trabalho mais rápido, mesmo utilizando as teclas de atalho…

Precision for Wacom in illustrator is absurdly painful! Can't select nodes! This has been a bug for ages!
Improve Wacom support! Using even the latest wacom intuos pro it's impossible to select a node when drawing as it expects you to hit the exact pixel... Who can do that!!!!!

Auto live paint
I very often colour linework using live paint. This is a great tool but if I could automatically colour every shape it would save a lot of time. At the moment I have to manually click every area I want to fill. Could this be done with one click? Many thanks.
4 votesYes, there is a way to fill many areas at once.
A double-click on a fill (or a stroke) should apply the currently chosen color to all sections that has this color (unless these are not separated with strokes).
A triple-click will change the color of all sections of the same color, no matter if these are separated or not.
Same applies to Live Paint Selection Tool.

Add Folders in Layers panel
Given that Photoshop can group layers into folders, Illustrator should have the same capacity to bring the experience closer together.
It would allow for greater flexibility when editing artwork.

Adding overprint toggles in the Separations Preview window
Currently, the overprint toggles are only in the "Attributes" panel but the overprint preview toggle is in the Separations Preview panel. Including overprint toggles in the Separations Preview panel allows the user to see the overprints in the file and toggle off/on any visible overprints prior to exporting/printing. This would save on workspace real estate by choosing to exclude the Attributes panel solely for overprint toggles.

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。19 votes -

Allow Eyedropper tool to copy/apply different things
Guys, the Eyedropper is an incredibly important tool, whether or not it's "****" by virtue of its age. You haven't updated it in, what, decades? Among the things that it is incapable of copying are:
- multiple strokes
- stroke profiles
- transparency
- blend modes
- graphic styles
Those are extremely common usages/needs. And that's off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more. Obviously there's no reason this tool shouldn't be able to copy these things! Almost every aesthetic effect that gets added to AI should be reflected in that tool's pickup abilities. Please make this happen already.
1 voteThe Eyedropper tool can work in two modes: basic and extended: basic picks/applies only colors and text. extended allows you operate chosen appearance attributes.
If you open the tool’s options (by doube-clicking the tool button or hitting Enter while it’s picked), you’ll see that you can check/uncheck two top ‘Appearance’ options and customize attributes to be processed.
This is not intuitive, but very powerful once you get the concept.

Make an option to disable auto-selection of artboards, when clicked inside
AI now selects artboard whenever mouse is clicked within in (with any tool). While it's a great general behaviour, I'd like to be able to disable it.
I have to work with overlapping artboards (which, by the way, sometimes prevent AI from correctly selecting the artboard clicked—it depends on artboards' order). When object is copied, AI remembers it's coordinates. Then, when I go to the object I need to place my copied art over and press Ctrl+F, AI pastes the object in the same coordinates. Sounds OK, but when I clicked that underlying object, AI moved the focus from initial…

Add Release button to Image Trace and Properties panels
Please add a 'Release' button to the Properties Panel along with Image Trace. It would be easier to just 'release' the image trace instead of multiple undo-s.

Custom Rulers for scaling
It would be great to have the option of creating custom scaled rulers.
I'd like to be able to just tell the rulers "From this point to this point on the artboard is x-pixels" and have the ruler scale.
When I design something for a 1080p screen, I like to put 2-up on a letter size page for discussion and markup with clients. So I design in a 2-up environment and end up with a massive amount of math to get things sized right.

CC Libraries: Add ability to drag new assets directly into a Library Group
Currently, any asset dragged to the libraries panel gets added to the Ungrouped section. Let's narrow the focus down and let us drop into any one of the displayed groups.
This would save immeasurable amounts of time having to hunt down and sort after the fact.

Adaptive Shapes
Adaptive shapes would be shapes that can change size according to the amount of text inside of them.
It makes having a highlighted text effect a lot easier. A rectangle with text inside it can stretch as you add more words.
Maybe a bit harder but it’d be cool if it can be applied to more complex shapes like a speech bubble shape, while retaining the ability to customize the notch and corner radius.
Doing any of this precisely and manually is not easy

In Export for Screens, allow to export specific layers as we already can do with artboards
Now we can only export the multiple artboards on one layer at a time. Please make it possible to select more than one layer and export those to files.
It would save a ton of time when we have multiple images to export from like dartboards stacked up on multiple layers.
