1. Editable Illustrator text in AfterEffects

   For years we have been copy and pasting text from Powerpoint into AfterEffects because the Illustrator file does not open in AfterEffects with editable text. Takes us ages and introduces many errors.

   Illustrator file text should just open in AfterEffects in 2018!

2. Option for drag select to ignore center points of objects

   When selecting multiple shapes on top of a large shape, it's difficult to avoid the center point of the background shape. The current workaround is to constantly lock and unlock shapes, or shift click on different objects several times. Drag selection would be easy if it only detected the edges of shapes.

3. Allow Custom Brick Offset Values in Pattern Maker

   The 9 fractions included in Brick Offset are not always enough to align patterns properly. When bricking a pattern, to achieve the acquired random look of a pattern, paths may need to be repeated just so it evenly fits within one of the fraction presets. The fractions are sometimes only off by a slight degree, that would be perfectly symmetrical if one were allowed the ability to adjust their own decimal chosen. Part of the confusion may also stem from complex patterns where they are difficult to update, as well as sorted fractions where Illustrator otherwise uses decimals. By size order they would be 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5 currently organized in the following order 6th, 1st, 2nd, 7th, 3rd, 8th, 4th, 5th, 9th. Perhaps fractions are more to show how the item would display and should be represented by a graphic, but where trying to slightly increment or decrement an offset, there is some math to be done since these are not sorted in sequential order either.

4. Print option to select which artboard(s) to rotate

   I have an illustrator file open with 2 artboards in it. I am trying to print them both on 1 page (double sided). I can do that, however, I am having problems with one side of the page being upside down. Is there a way to fix this; other than manually flipping one of the artboards 180 degrees prior to printing?

   My thought would be to have a feature in Illustrator (& other Adobe programs) in the print dialog box under the orientation section. Utilizing the auto-rotate checkbox, if you uncheck it you could have an option to select which artboard(s) to rotate (currently all artboards are rotated at the same time)? I know we can select certain artboards to print, so would it be possible to add this in where we could select which artboard(s) to rotate? I understand that 1) this is easy to ask, but harder to implement & 2) you might feel like the issue is a printer issue, but I feel like it could be solved in Illustrator & I have not found anything in my printer settings that can fix this problem either.

5. Drag & Drop Appearance

   Hi,

   Currently, moving individual "Appearance" between objects is a difficult route:
   1. Select the object. Deselect the object.
   2. Display the "Appearance" palette
   3. Delete unnecessary "Appearance"
   4. create a style. with the right Apperance
   5. Select the object.
   6. ALT + Click on the style to add a new Appearance to the existing Appearance of the object.

   Whew ....

   Can you not create the ability to drag the Appearance?

   It would be great and so much more time during work.

   Best Regards

6. Better Smart Guides

   Can you guys PLEASE make 'Smart Guides' better? For example, I work with product UI/Graphics and I'm always having to zoom in 1400% to clearly align and place objects on top of other objects, but the snapping is NOT GOOD AT ALL... Can you guys make things snap to each other like other programs are able to do so like CAD programs etc...

   Hello everyone,

   Lately we have been thinking about improving the snapping / smartguide experience on Illustrator and we need your help in this process.

   Please spare us some time of yours where we can come together on a online meeting and discuss your needs and pain point around snapping.

8. Keyboard shortcut to duplicate a layer and its content or an object

   Please consider creating a keyboard shortcut that will duplicate a selected layer and its content, as in PsCC, for example.

   In PsCC one can duplicate a selected layer and its contents by using either of two keyboard shortcuts: 1) 'Ctrl+J' -or- 2) 'Alt+(any up/down/left/right arrow)'.

   In either case, the duplicated layer+content will appear above the selected layer.

   Thank you.

9. Updating to 2019 makes illustrator useless - downloads tons of data upon saving a file

   My workflow requires opening and saving AI files with large linked pictures, stored on off-site server with low bandwidth (around 5-6 MB/s). The linked files can be big, several GB in size. When I try to save my AI, it freezes and starts downloading at full speed of the off-site storage and downloads 2-3GB of data before it saves the AI. None of previous versions had this issue/feature. It is a big deal for our company, because we work approximately 1 hour on each AI and now just saving it takes 5-10min. We need to open the AI (sometimes it also downloads tons of data when opening the AI) then save a copy of it in both AI and PDF. Then save it regularly to prevent data loss if something went wrong, 4-5 times for each file. Then eventually save the final version again in both AI and PDF. With AI 2018 or older, saving a file was matter of seconds. With 2019, each save takes 10 minutes. So I save a copy in AI - 10 minutes. Immediately I save a copy in PDF - another 10 minutes. 5x10 minutes during work and then 2x 10 minutes when I finish my work, because AI and PDF. It is not an issue of our server, or the off-site server, because when I re-install 2018 or 2017, it works like a charm. This renders AI 2019 very useless because it almost triples our working time per file.

14. Can't select and edit two effects from two separate fills in single appearance

    I can't select two effects, applied to different fills in one appearance — AI restricts to select both of them. Therefore, if I have same effect applied to all of my object's fills, I have to edit EACH of them one by one, instead of just Ctrl+click all of them and edit at once.
    It means that if I want to change Drop shadow's parameters, scattered across different appearances, no graphic style won't help me. And I already mentioned in separate enquiry that Drop shadow and other color-based effects ignore global swatches.
    This is nuts. I waste so much time.

15. 'Saved' menu in New Document window should show my custom templates

    1. Right now only templates from Adobe Stock show up here. It's counterintuitive. I would like to have my custom templates saved here. Otherwise they are relatively hidden at the bottom of the 'Web' or 'Print' lists.
    2. I would also like to be able to quickly save a template right from the new document window (not have to make a document, save as template, get permissions error, fix permissions, save template).
    3. The new document window is VERY SLOW to open. Legacy is instant and the lag is really frustrating.
       
    4. Please for the love of creative gods, fix the High Sierra/CC bugs. My programs crash my entire computer several times a day. Thank you.

    the dumbing down of the CC products is disgusting. you're literally driving me to work on different platforms. I've not opened premiere in a year and I'm down to only photoshop and illustrator.
    Add enough pain and I'll move off of those as well.

    Not only that I'll probably start a YT channel for others detailing how to leave he cult of Adobe as a industry pro.

20. Let's add Vasily Hall's name to the Ai credits?

    These never get added for some reason, so I'm going to try once per day to put it up here:

    As you may be aware, Illustrator has a natively build CSV-import feature for variables now. This wouldn't have come if Vasily didn't undertake the effort to create this feature as a script, 3 years prior. https://github.com/Silly-V/Adobe-Illustrator/blob/master/Variable Importer/VariableImporter.jsx

    His contribution was:
    1. User research, connecting with users from all over the world to get a sense of whether anyone even wants to import CSV files and use graph variables.
    2. Naming convention syntax for visibility and graph variables.
    3. Logical mechanism for adding individual graph states within CSV record cells.
    4. A multitude of LinkedIn articles on variable data usage.
    5. A collaboration with a video author to produce the Lynda.com tutorial on variable data.
    6. Discovering bugs within the native variable data feature.

    Over a 3-year and ongoing timespan, the amount of effort is not insignificant, therefore my feature request is to add just a few pixel's worth of data to an Illustrator build, in form of the name "Vasily Hall".

    Would it put tremendous budget strain on the company to add this name to the credits? It would seem to be a very small cost to bring some sense of integrity back to the software and corporate handling of its development.
