1. Allow to use point-specific controls when all points of a path are selected: Convert to Smooth / Corner, Show / Hide Handles, Cut

   There is a limitation in Adobe Illustrator with aligning anchor points.
   When using the Direct Selection tool to highlight anchor points on a path the options to align anchor points disappears in the Align palette if all points on a path are selected.
   That can be a problem if I'm trying to align two points on a simple two point path. I either have to add additional points or manually align the path using smart guides. It would be really nice if one anchor point could have key object like behavior and stay locked in place. Certain rival vector graphics applications make it pretty easy to align anchor points in this kind of controlled manner.

2. Share for Review - Ability for teams to update links

   Currently in InDesign and Illustrator, the person that created a review link is the only one able to update the review link. There are times when another person on my team needs to update a file and send an updated review link, but to do so, they have to create a copy of the file and make a brand new link. This is a bit tedious and doesn't keep the history of comments, which we sometimes need to refer back to. I would like to suggest the ability to allow teams on Create Cloud to be able to work on the same files together and update the same review links.

3. Make it possible to have NO active Artboard

   I often take screenshots of my work within Illustrator for Proofing purposes and more.. but when doing this I'm often stuck with the dark outline of the active artboard mixed in with multiple other images that do not have the dark artboard line. yes, often times I can simply hide artboards and get what I need, but other times what I'm looking for is only within my Trim view. So even when I go into Trim view and try to hide artboards to remove this dark outline, it does not. I recently learned that toggling to overprint fill turns the background white instead of gray, which is nice, but the active artboard line is still there. So, my first thought was to allow no active artboard to be possible. this could be done within the Artboard window, by clicking in the empty space beneath the artboard list (which currently looks like it does this, yet the Artboard still remains active (dark border).

4. Add Copies field in Transform Each dialog

   Transform effect dialog looks a lot like Transform Each dialog.
   Perhaps Transform Each should get the same Copies field that the effect’s dialog has, to avoid hitting/holding Ctrl+D and to be able preview the result like the effect allows.

   Original idea by Enisio

5. Scale tool with value input and custom anchor

   I'm not necessarily looking for a script—I’m just curious if a tool could be developed to enhance Illustrator’s Scale tool. Specifically, I’d love the ability to input a custom scale value (e.g., uniformly 125%, 100% height, 20% width, etc.) while also being able to position a custom anchor point, as currently available in the Scale tool.

   I understand that the Transform Each function allows users to select individual objects, input values, and place an anchor point. However, this feature has limitations:

   The anchor point can only be placed within the object's bounds.
   To uniformly scale multiple objects, users must group them first, apply scaling, and then ungroup—adding unnecessary steps.
   I see a clear opportunity for improvement by integrating Transform Each features directly into the Scale tool. A simple checkbox allowing users to scale objects individually from their centers would make the tool significantly more powerful. Of course, I say "simple" without knowing the underlying complexities of Illustrator’s scaling system—perhaps that’s why these tools are separate in the first place.

   That said, I rarely use the Scale Options panel because Transform Each is generally more useful. The only reason I still use the Scale tool is its anchor feature. An additional note and one quite important, since Transform Each is only accessible through the right-click menu, many newcomers might overlook it, assuming the side panel contains all available scaling options.

   Would love to hear thoughts on whether this kind of enhancement would be feasible!

6. Right side docked panels overlap document tabs & ruler

   When the dock is placed at the top, opening palettes (like Swatches) overlaps and blocks:
   • Document tabs (when many are open)
   • The double arrow used to access hidden tabs
   • The rightmost part of the ruler

   When the dock is placed at the bottom, palettes don’t block the document tabs, but they still cover part of the ruler.

   The palettes should dynamically adjust so they never block tabs, the tab overflow control, or the ruler—regardless of dock position.

7. Allow to place cards next to color chips instead of always below for Swatch Info objects

   We can choose from two main layout options for Swatch Info: horizontal and vertical.
   Horizontal puts 'cards' with text info below the chips, while Vertical option makes them... wait! Still below? Not next to it?
   I think we should be able to choose if we want to place them on the side, rather then always at the bottom.
   Take a look at a draft mockup attached.

8. Recolor Artwork with Color Theory / Harmony

   A selectable feature to automatically recolor artwork using standard color theory harmonies like Complementary, Analogous, Monochromatic, Triadic, and Tetradic positioned within Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork.

   This would allow users to quickly explore different, harmonized color schemes for their designs.

9. Allow to color code attributes (fills, strokes, effects) in Appearance Panel

   Sometimes we create very complex appearance stacks, and navigating the Appearance panel becomes rather hard (especially given the fact it tries to unfurl the items in it all the time — look at this bug report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49257335)

   So with a lot of fills and strokes and effects given we would like to assign colors to the rows, the same way the Actions panel allows (for its button mode).

   Another similar requests would be an ability to rename them (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852) and to make folders (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49257353)

10. Allow to create Swatch Info object using a hotkey

    Currently to create a Swatch Info object you need to dive into the Swatches panel’s flyout menu and locate a command. We need a way to assign a hotkey to this.

    Actually, we need a way to assign hotkeys to ALL commands hidden in the panel menus — here is a general request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46432486 (and even a larger request to hotkey everything at all: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237)

    More of it, we need to be able to create Swatch Info objects with drag-n-drop (as Von Glitschka originally requested: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40192993).
    There is now a separate request specifically about this, to evaluate the real need, please upvote this as well —

11. Play actions WITHOUT expanding them in the panel

    When playing an action, it expands.... so that it visibly "walks" through every step.

    I have the Playback Options set to "Accelerated", so the walking is rapid, yet the action expands and I see the panel highlight every single step of the action as they are quickly walked through.

    I want to click play, and the action runs while it stays collapsed. I only need an action expanded in the panel if I intend to edit it. I find myself collapsing, now open, actions over and over and over.

    In addition re Button Mode:

    I don't use button mode specifically because Button Mode lists every single action individually, from ALL sets. With even the default actions set loaded, that's a lot of panel-filling buttons. If Button Mode honored sets, where I could collapse a set, and leave a button set expanded that I'm using, then Button Mode would be okay.

12. Stop covering the document tabs with expanded docked panels

    If I dock panels to sides of the application frame, expanding the ones from the top panel groups will cover the document tabs, like the GIF shows.
    In a situation when it’s important to know what is the current document (they can differ slightly) this is especially irritating.

    Please nudge them down a bit!

13. Persistant "Try Now" and "Learn More" toast/nags should time out

    These grey feature nag alerts now appear for various features with calls-to-action like "Try Now" and "Learn More" eg. rearrange artboards, pasting to multiple artboards, ungrouping multiple/nested groups

    Unexpected behaviour: These alerts only close when the user clicks the little X on the right.

    Preferred behaviour:
    – These alerts should close after a certain time (say 10 seconds) or after a number of interactions on the artboard (say 10 clicks)
    – There should be an option to disable these alerts

    Reason: Some users don't want ANY interruptions or distractions while working.

    While I understand the benefit/opportunity to coach/educate about new features in the moment, this is feeling more like a pop-up ad than a helpful nudge.

15. Rotate Artboards

    Enable artboards to be rotated individually. Simple. Here's an example of my currently workflow: if I have a large map with a winding road in illustrator, and I want each of my 5 artboards to be aligned with that road, I have to make rectangles where I wish the artboards could be, and then make the actual artboards encompass the rectangle. Then I export as an image, and rotate and crop in Photoshop to match the rectangle. This becomes especially annoying if the boundaries overlap, and I have to export artboards one by one, turning off the rectangles of other artboards.

16. Center Align Area Type

18. Can we please move the "Close all" button away from the "Save" button in the "FILE" dropdown menu

    Maybe move the "Close" and "Close all" buttons to the bottom of the "FILE" dropdown menu, instead of having them sit so close to the "Save" and "Save as" buttons.

    I have accidently closed various projects because of this.

19. Select with Pencil tool

    I would like to use the Pencil tool as a lasso selection. So instead of drawing the selection you can create a shape of lines and when the loop is closed everything inside is selected.
    I miss this when I'm sitting with irregular patterns that have lots of similar object and i would like to select a bunch of them.
