1. Identify Newly Installed Fonts in Adobe Illustrator

   Problem:

   Managing large font collections in Adobe Illustrator can be challenging, especially when installing new fonts. With hundreds or even thousands of fonts, identifying recently added ones becomes a tedious task, often requiring manual scrolling and searching through the entire font menu.

   Proposed Solution:

   Implement a feature in Illustrator that allows users to easily identify newly installed fonts. Here are two potential options:

   Filter by Install Date: Add a sorting option within the font menu that displays fonts by their installation date. This would allow users to quickly see the most recently added fonts at the top of the list.

   "New Fonts" Badge: Introduce a temporary visual indicator (badge) next to newly installed fonts within the font menu. This badge would disappear after a designated period (e.g., one week) or upon user interaction (e.g., clicking the font).

   Benefits:

   Improved workflow efficiency by saving time spent searching for new fonts.
   Enhanced organization and management of large font libraries.
   Streamlined font discovery for design projects.
   Additional Considerations:

   The implementation should be lightweight and not impact application performance.
   Users should have the option to disable the badge or sorting by install date if preferred.

   Thank you for considering this feature request. We believe it would be a valuable addition to Adobe Illustrator and significantly improve the user experience for designers working with extensive font collections.

2. Isolation tints eyedropper colors from linked assets

   When using the eyedropper tool in isolation mode on artwork, the color is taken from the actual artwork even though isolation mode displays it as faded. When doing the same on linked assets, even if they are Illustrator files, the isolation mode fade gets applied to the sampled color. This means that you have to back out of isolation mode and direct-select it to sample the asset, or otherwise have already created a swatch before entering isolation.

   I think it would be nicer if Illustrator could treat the sampling of linked assets the same way it does for local artwork - sampling the actual colors instead of the colors after fading is applied.

3. Please add Illustrator option to maintain text color

   Could you please add an option for us to keep the color we chose for the text in an illustrator file we're currently working on?

   Meaning: Say I am writing text in a file, but I want separate text boxes and I want to keep the same color, rather than Illustrator defaulting back to black or whatever color was set as default in the preferences.

   I'd like to be able to check a box to keep the color I am using for the text rather than having to go back to the color and subsequently the default sizes set in the Main preferences. It's time consuming to keep having to change both the color and size for each text area I create in a document.

   Thank you.

4. Can we have nicer gradient when we use spot color to gradient?

   Look like the tone was mixed with desaturated tone at the middle part when we use pantone / spot colour we created.
   When we output to print, the desaturated tone is still visible.
   Attached the screenshot for your reference. Thank you!

5. 「テキストからベクター生成」にレイヤーオブションを加えてください

   背景と上に乗るキャラクター等をレイヤー分けできるような仕組みを追加してください。
   たとえば、

   「下のレイヤー：波の穏やかな白い砂浜のビーチ、上のレイヤー：じゃれ合う２匹の子犬」

   というようにプロンプトに記述したレイヤー構成に従って生成されるようになると格段に使い勝手が良くなると思います。

7. Press Shift to constrain the angle of a radius / diameter dimension

   Shift is universally used to constrain a drawn art to 0-45-90° angles when using a tool. This applies to lines, rectangles, other shapes, anything that can be clearly oriented.

   The Dimension tool breaks the paradigm — we can’t hold shift to constraint the angle of the drawn dimension line when creating radii or dimeters.

   Some standards require us to have these lines too use integer steps, like 15° or 30°... this is very hard to comply now.

   Please either make the tool to respect angles set in Preferences > Smart Guides, or make it a separate setting in the tool’s options.

8. Chained dimensions

   New Dimension tool is designed to be good-enough, but not be way too complex to setup and use.

   One of things we need to be a part of this 'good-enough' set of features it has should be a way to create consequential serialized dimensions, like the image attached demonstrates.

   To do that now, we’d have to drag each segment one-by-one, and snap the dimensions line to each other (which in the current build just doesn’t happen even!). This method is generates doubled lines instead of only one, and won’t allow us to move all the dimension lines at once if needed.

   Most plugins that allow dimensioning in Illustrator have this feature, including CADtools and BPT-Pro.

9. Allow us to set up the default and stepped Dimension Line Offset for the Dimension tool

   When we Opt/Alt-click the object or just click a segment, Ai creates a dimension with some predefined distance between the object and the dimension line.
   We can’t control it (plus we can’t choose which sides to use for Opt/Alt mode anymore, unlike in early Betas).

   Also, we need to be able to hold a modifier while creating a dimension to constrain this offset to a set parameter, in a stepped manner, — something third-party plugins like BPT Pro and CADtools can do.

10. Option to add dimensions to current layer

    I enjoy the new dimension tool but find it annoying that it creates a whole new separate layer. Maybe my workflow is unconventional, but it would be nice if the dimensions could just be added to my print instructions layer instead of a whole new layer just for the dimensions. I make a lot of diecuts and find myself still using old methods to create the dimension lines due to it always putting them on another layer.

11. Locked Object as Key Object

    It would be very helpful to have the option to enable a locked object to be selected as a key object. I would make aligning object workflows to be slightly more efficient.

13. 复合路径建立的剪切蒙版

    复合路径建立的剪切蒙版，如何把蒙版分割的对象分离成单独的对象。如图中，我用矩形复合路径通过剪切蒙版把图片分割，但是现在是一个整体，我想让蒙版中分割的每个对象成为一个单独的对象，请问有什么好办法吗？比如类似于“扩展”的功能。
    当然，每个矩形可以单独建立剪切蒙版，但是会非常麻烦。

14. The Dimension Tool needs to have live updates

    I like the new dimension tool, but it's not very helpful unless it updates the displayed dimensions when the size of the dimensioned object is changed. It should stay attached to the selected points when the size of the shape is changed as well.

    Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The Beta 28.4.0.7 now create live dimension objects, that track and follow the changes to the measured objects: resizing, rotating, moving...

    
    

    As for now, moving only dimension breaks the link and expands the dimension (hopefully will change, and break the link only).

    Moving an object with its related dimension currently expand the dimension as well (hopefully won’t do it either).

    
    

    Please test the change and share feedback — it helps a lot!

15. Allow outline / edges colour changes in Symbol edit mode

    Allow the user to change the outline colour in Symbol Editing Mode. 'Options for Symbol Editing Mode' is always greyed out. It's possible to change the outline colour but it always reverts to the randomly-selected default colour.

16. Dimension tool improvements

    The dimension tool is a really helpful thing but some improvements would be appreciated.

    • As stated in other posts, please include the possibility to add user defined scalings, including decimal numbers like 1:1.5 and other ones, like 1:15.

    • According to ISO standards, the dimension text should sit above the lines, as viewed from the right. This would be a great option, because at this moment I don't use this tool regularly because of this.

    • When dimensions are too small, there should be an option to move the text away, either to the right or the left. Of course this can be done afterwards but the whole thing has to be expanded to move the text. Maybe this could be improved somehow.

    • Arrowheads with small dimensions now overlap. It would be better to revert them to the outside if necessary.

    • Architectural diagonal slashes are missing from the list of arrows and stroke endpoints. Those would be great!

    See attached file for details ...

    Adding presets for the Dimension Tool is in the plans.

    Thanks for logging the request anyway. Upvote it still if you find it useful.

18. Add Arrange Buttons in Control panel

    Its sometimes really frustrating to using two hands just for the arrange objects. Also right click menu is too time consuming just for the bringing an object to front. Inkscape handles this issue very well without messing up with layers menu or right clicking. They added 4 buttons to dock when an object is selected just for arranging objects easy and user friendly. I really seek this tiny feature in Illustrator.

20. Non-Destructive Path Trim

    It would save me incredible amounts of time if I could simply--and non-destructively--trim a path.

    Example:
    I create a character's arm using a tapered stroke. I then duplicate that tapered stroke so that it can function as a shirt sleeve.
    <Here is where the issue comes in...>
    There's not a good way to trim that duplicated stroke to function as a sleeve. I can add points and delete the stroke, but the width won't match anymore. I can create a clipping mask, but it's a pain and makes adjusting the characters pose needlessly laborious.

    Being able to trim the path would make something like this MUCH less painful as there are fewer layers and points you need to mess with.

    Second example:
    I want the upper arm behind the character and the forearm in front. A trim paths would make this easy. You'd just duplicate the stroke, place one below the body and one above the body. Then you'd trim each to meet at the elbow.

    I hope that makes sense. If not, I can elaborate. Sometimes it's difficult for me to put words into a coherent sentence. :p
