1. Cannot group Text objects with right-click

   Illustrator CC2018 (22.1)
   Windows 10 and Mac OSX High Sierra 10.13.3

   When I select two or more Text objects (point, area, etc.), I cannot group them using right-click (it works

   It works with other objects, or with Text and other objects, but not when all my selections are only Text objects.

   Once grouped (with CMD-G for example), it is possible to ungroup them with right-click, though.

2. Paste from Powerpoint

   I used to paste graphics/text from Powerpoint into Illustrator with no issues. Now with CC, only text in Times will paste without corruption into symbols. Is there a way around converting the font before copying?

3. Cannot key in units like cm, mm, etc.

   Hi,
   In the most recent update that I have, 22.1, the ability to resize an artboard by typing in a number and its unit has been removed. Was this intended? Please restore this function as it makes working with various units more convenient. Thank you.

4. Hex shortcode support

   Typing in #333 should auto-complete to #333333, not #000333. Makes UI design frustrating for those with a dev background.

   These are now supported, in versions above 29.6

5. Using the very top menu bar to hook panels

   It's frustrating to have artboards covered by panels, it could be great to use the first top bar to hook the panels like AE.

6. Export selected only

   Would like to see an "EXPORT SELECTED ONLY" option, so that you can export just a selection of items from a file with many elements. Really a pain to have to copy the items I want to export, and paste them into a new file in order to export them.

   There is File > Export Selection command in Illustrator now, that adds a selection as an asset into Asset Export panel and opens Export for Screens dialog immediately.

7. Transform by Reference Line Numerically

   I would love to see a "Transform by Reference Line Numerically" feature where user draws a line across an object in any direction, then is able to specify the size they want. This is helpful for raster images where there is no actual vector line to accurately resize to. I use embroidery digitizing software and this is a cool feature. Wilcom Software Transform by Reference Line Numerically.

   I've included a screen shot of the Wilcom Manual to hopefully explain better than i can articulate.

9. "Divide objects below" with a group

   "Divide objects below" (what I call "cookie cutting") with multiple objects that are from a group, all at once . If I want to cut a pattern (let's say, giraffe spots) out of a shape located below, I should be able to divide the object without having to do it for each individual spot. If the spots are already grouped together to form a pattern, that pattern should be able to divide all at once.

10. SVG export option to export global Color Swatches as CSS Custom Properties

    In addition to classes and IDs, CSS custom properties (aka. CSS variables) are a great way to style SVG Content.
    Conceptually they are closest to Illustrators global color swatches.

    I propose to add an Option to SVG Export of Adobe Illustrator to turn named global color swatches into CSS custom properties.

    Example:

    Original Output:
    fill: #456; stroke: #abc;

    New Output:
    fill: var(--medium-grey, #456) ; stroke: var(--dark-grey, #abc);

    Web applications could use the custom properties, to quickly create color-variations of an illustration.

    Example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/KQwpJR/

    An additional option could be a compatibility mode for the styling options "Inline Style" and "Internal CSS", that adds an additional fallback for browsers, that don't support custom properties at all:

    fill: #456; fill: var(--medium-grey, #456);

    This fallback should be opt-in, since it increases file size.

    Use-Cases:

    • Theming of Icon-Sets (like http://www.streamlineicons.com/ux/)
    • Branding and Color Variations
    • Definition of CMYK and Spot Colors Versions in Print Stylesheets or other applicable Media
    • Animating Color Transitions with CSS (example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/aEMaNz/)

    Additional Resources:

    "Styling SVG <use> Content with CSS" by Sara Soueidan
    https://tympanus.net/codrops/2015/07/16/styling-svg-use-content-css/

11. Allow CC Libraries to store point type text

    If I drag point type into a CC library, it gets converted to area type with some seemingly arbitrary width.

    In general, if I drag something into a CC library, I want to get out what I put in, not something else.

    Thanks!

12. Paste Remembers Layers: Keyboard Shortcut and Visual Indicator

    I would like to see a toggle option for "Paste Remembers Layers" I switch frequently between having it on and off and it would be nice to have a visual cue - and toggle button - to facilitate easier working between modes.

13. Glitchy remove behaviour in Color Groups in Recolor artwork

    There are a lot of problems when I removing color set in Color Groups.
    First - list jumps into the end, if I remove first element for example or any from the top. Also - Backspace or Del keys not works, I can't remove using them. From video you can see that there are a lot of colors and I want be able to select multiple of them with just a mouse.

    Thats just typical and simple UX from NSListView ... you know? Why you didn't implemented all that behaviour?

    You can assign your own custom hotkeys for these commands, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog: select Tools from the drop-down menu (yes, that’s an unexpected place), and search for ‘blend’ — last two found commands are ‘Blend Mode – Next Mode’ and ‘’Blend Mode – Previous Mode’ — assign any keys you want or use Photoshop-like keys, Shift+Plus and Shift+Minus.
    The only difference between Ai and Ps is that Illustrator does not loop the list like Photoshop does… There is another request for this: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44406693 — please vote there if you believe this should be addressed.

16. Warp Effect Not Working

    I've noticed that ever since upgrading to Illustrator CC 2018 (22.0.1) that the Warp Effect doesn't seem to work properly. The Arc and Arch effects will work, but applying any of the Flag, Wave, Fish or Rise effects won't change the object at all.

    Thank you to all who shared their files. We do not support flag, fish effects on a straight line with just two anchor points. The feature is implemented to work on the line segment which is not straight.
    Please refer to the attachment for supported and non supported scenarios. Should you have further query please email us on sharewithai@adobe.com

17. Remember scaling per file in Save for web

    I design for printing and use 'Save for web and devices' to have crisp images.
    E.g. I can have document 300x900mm, and then I export it as 600x1800px and have my snapped sharp lines to stay sharp.
    But 'SfWaD' always immediately renders image at '100%' (which is not 100% at all at Windows — it's an another problem to be discussed), and I get 850x2551.
    When my dimensions are bigger, AI sometimes can't even render an image and I get error message and pink fill in preview area.
    I try to draw ten times smaller whenever is possible to avoid this, but sometimes it's not convenient.

    'Export for screens' doesn't provide direct custom scaling, only integers.

    Proposed solution is too remember scaling in 'SfWaD'. In example given it could stick to the 70,6% after pressing 'Done' button.
    But it will still require AI to render at 100% anyway, so the second better way is to skip immediate rendering and letting user to set values first (you can set an option for it).

19. Create option to change order & position in which layers are duplicated or copy/pasted in the layers panel

    Layer organization is extremely important to my work. I'm constantly duplicating layers using the select + alt feature, and constantly having to re-order layers because they automatically get placed above the layer I'm working on. I would like the option to make my duplicated layers go immediately below the layer I'm working on.

    I would also like the option for copy/pasted layers to go immediately above/below the original layer, or all the way at the bottom.

    I spoke to an Adobe rep on chat and they said this isn't currently possible.
