1. Touch bar customisation with actions

   It would be awesome if illustrator CC could have touch bar customization with actions. I already use some of the build in touch bar buttons, and I though it would be awesome to have the option to add actions to the touch bar. For example, having like a little actions folder on the left or the right side of the touch bar that when open, will show all of the actions and other folders inside. Then you could just tap on the touch bar to trigger an action. I know that you can already set actions to trigger on function keys, but for MacBook pro users, that can be kind of annoying especially if you have a lot of actions. so you would have to hold down fn + (modifier key if you have that many actions) + F(number). I just think it is not very intuitive.

   It would be awesome to see this is the next version as actions are extremely helpful and the touch bar is just so convenient.

   Thanks

2. Make rulers bigger in with larger UI scales

   I know Illustrator has the 'For High PPI Displays . . .' option for higher scale factors but, that is reliant on the OS custom graphic scaling.

   1 - Either allow for custom/pre-set ruler size or
   2 - Make it like Photoshop.

3. Remember Pathfinder Options across sessions

   Currently, the Pathfinder Options are not remembered across Illustrator sessions. This can be tested with the following steps.

   1. Launch Illustrator.
   2. Via the Pathfinder panel, use the flyout menu to open Pathfinder Options.
   3. Set the precision to anything other than 0.028 pt.
   4. Quit and relaunch Illustrator.
   5. Reopen the Pathfinder Options. The precision has been set back to 0.028 pt.

   It would also be good if the Pathfinder Options were able to be recorded as an action. It seems like a bug that they can not now — recording an action for it appears to work, and there is a Pathfinder Options item, but the action does nothing.

4. Touch Workspace Eraser

   Drawing in the touch workspace is not usable without an eraser. A Simple undo is not enough. Try to undo something you drew 5 minutes ago without undoing the stuff you like and you'll see what I mean.

5. Corrupted files

   I made numerous Adobe Illustrator files (featuring line drawings of clothing) that got corrupted. I had spent a few hours creating my drawings with the Adobe Illustrator software (saving copies along the way) but when I went to open the files to continue working on them they had all corrupted; leaving me with blank documents only showing a rectangular selection box. (Please find two examples attached.)
   Are you able to fix this and/or tell me how to retrieve my files?
   Thank you.

6. Cmd + H should hide Illustrator on Mac

   Yes, CMD-H should be standardized across all of your programs. And kindly take Freehand out of its vault, study its pen/curve tool(s), and make Illustrator's pen tool work as well as Freehand's did.

7. Upload Adobe Draw files to Creative Cloud as .ai or .eps files

   Adobe Draw currently has the option to Save files to CC as PDF or PSD files but it would be great if we could save them as .AI files

8. Sort content in links palette + User controlled preflight warnings

   Added sorting ability in links palette would be very useful.
   Allowing me to sort by file size, alpha, date placed, date altered. Similar to finder or windows explorer. Allowing me to rearrange the columns to suit my needs.

   A preflight indicator of any potential conflicts would be a nice add as well.
   CMYK doc with an RGB image placed. Unused nodes swatches, does this doc contain any overprint items, that kind of thing. In a perfect world I could set in prefs what I want warnings for.

9. Add the ability to select an object by clicking it's visual appearance (strokes, glyphs, effects)

   Sometimes selection tools fail (seemingly) to pick up object.
   For example, if you have an object with fat stroke, clicking to outside part of that stroke will select nothing (or object underneath stroke) — you have to select in/inside edge to do it.
   Second example — type object, with an empty descender zone, behind baseline; you click below letters to select an object behind, but pick type object instead.
   Third example — object with a subtle but wide drop shadow effect applied to it. Shadow is almost invisible (low opacity and light color), but when you click in it, AI selects object anyway, while you expect to select object behind it.

   I guess, it would be nice to have an option (and temp mode as well) for Direct selection tool to pick an object based on visual rather the structure.
   You could set a tick in Control panel or hold some modifier key (as Photoshop does, when you toggle auto-select for Move tool).
   Then you could pick an object, by clicking in outside part of the stroke, or clicking through letters, or clicking through enough transparent shadows.

    The team is exploring the ways to increase the limit.

11. Have a search bar at the top that searches all menu items.

    Ok, the Adobe menus have a LOT of menu items and features. You guys should create a search bar that searches all the menu items and features to make it easier to find things.

    Microsoft has this feature in it's Office Suite and it is SUPER useful.

    For example have a bar that asks the user "What are you looking for" They can type anything, for example "Alignment" and it would bring up the alignment menu. Or "pathfinder" will bring up a button for the pathfinder menu.

    Think about it guys, would save EVERYONE who isn't a pro SO much time.

    The latest 2022 release has the Discover window that you can quickly call using F1 by default, which searches most if the commands available.
    Have you tried it? Please tell us how it differs from what you expect from the global search you have in mind? What is missing or can be improved?

12. Expanding Compound Clip Mask into induvidul paths for production

    I want to produce individual paths to a set artboard size for production after designing a compound clip mask. sample below. There are to many steps involved in individualizing these paths. First you need to group everything with in the clip path then save in place. Then release the clip mask path then the compound path. Next you need to copy a paste into each individual path.
    In Corel draw, after designing in the clip mask all you do is release that mask and it is automatically in each individual path after release.. Help me Ai best perform this task, since its what I do for a living, create decal graphic kits for motorsports.

13. procedural textures for fills

    It would be nice if there was a procedural texture fill available. Something like coreldraw has, but completely procedural so that file size doesn't bloat. The more parameters the better so we could create many varying textures/colors/patterns/etc.

14. Dedicated buttons for Undo, Delete, Redo

    Dedicated buttons for Undo, Delete, Redo.
    Either at the top or on a floating toolbar. I'm sick of having to go to the keyboard or:
    Edit > Undo
    Edit > Clear
    Edit > Redo
    Sure I could use keyboard shortcuts — but I don't want to.
    Virtually every other program has these buttons.
    It cannot be hard to add them, even if only in that new properties panel.
    You have to assume its bloody mindedness on Adobes part, continuing not have this basic feature and thinking everyone gets a thrill out of Command Z

15. Make copy/paste work between Illustrator and CorelDRAW (and vice versa)

    Adobe and Corel are eternal rivals, I know.
    But our (and not ours only, as far as I know) workflow requires both whales.
    A lot of vynil-cutting shops, laser-engraving and large format printing shops work only in CD. We have to transfer our files back and forth from one program to another each day.

    We use PDF as a medium, but it's long way.
    We also use this magnificent macros for CD:
    https://github.com/cdrpro-macros/ai-clipboard
    but it's not 100% solution.

    We need a way to copy/paste from/to AI from/to CD natively.

17. Ability to change the default swatches

    I'd really like to open up a new document with a predetermined default swatch selection. I know this can be done by saving swatches and saving your workspace but if I want to add new colors, I can't to the saved swatch window.

18. Make cursor instantly visible after jumping with arrows keys

    While navigating text with arrows (or Ctrl/Cmd + arrows), especially in short word clusters, something like these:
    mon-sun: 10:00–19:00
    break: 13:00–14:00
    it's quite hard to understand where cursor has landed after last jump, because cycle of blinking seem to stay the same or even elongate!
    There's a second after jump until cursor is finally drawn.
    Could you please add or fix it in such a way that cursor is immediately visible after any arrow jump?

20. Exporting SVG icons to use for web overrides classnames colours get all messed up

    When you have multiple icons exported in SVG to use for web, once its introduced in the code their classnames get overridden and the colours get messed up of all icons.

    Our programmers are having to open each icon in text editor Atom/Sublime and change the name of the class names for a different and unique name to avoid overriding between files. It's quite frustrating and time consuming for them.

    Need More Info  ·  Dirk Schulze responded

    Hi Guillermina,

    File > Export > Export As provides an option to create unique class names and IDs to avoid clashes when merging different SVG files into one document. In the SVG options panel select “Unique” under “Object IDs”.

    Does this address your issue?

    Greetings,
