Take that light bulb icon that accesses tutorials and push it further...
Take your tutorial access feature and push it further, make it a customizable recipe resource, not unlike a cookbook.
• Enable users to save (links to) tutorials relevant to their specific interests AND allow them to bookmark.
• This idea fits well with all your apps.
• Explore some ways to encourage users to post accessible tutorials on Adobe Cloud, formatted for this function. That would stimulate your apps community greatly. Example: Zbrush
Ps. The new properties feature is awesome. Thank you!2 votes -
Allow to see full name past artboard extent / Don't truncate artboards' captions
The artboard name is restricted to the size of the artboard, which truncates the name and makes it illegible. Better logic would be to only shorten the name if it collides with another artboard name.

A sane way to assign a stroke to have a color not in the default palette
If I want to assign a color from a Library to a Stroke, my only option is to make the object's background color the Library color, and then use the Swap Fill and Stroke button.
The Stroke color menu has lots of weird buttons to import colors that I don't care about. Why not replace those buttons with like a Library Colors button, or a Recent Colors button, or heaven forbid a color dropper?
My first impression of Illustrator was that assigning colors to things is harder than in any other program I have used in my entire life. This…

Highlighted cursor markers on rulers
I would love to see an option to enable a highlighted cursor marker on the ruler. To explain what I mean by cursor marker, I mean the small, light gray line that follows where your cursor is along the x and y ruler. This light gray line is very hard to distinguish its exact position against the background ruler markers, since there is literally no contrast between them. I would love to see an option to change it to any of the system swatches.

Text thread marker (out port) is too small
The size of the red controller [+] which allows you to create a new threaded text is so small that is almost impossible to click. I think it could be bigger in order to improve the usability. In fact, many of those options can be bigger.

auto arrange artboards on new
First, the workspace is Too **** small at this point, especially when working in pixels. And someone out there assumes 72dpi still. Stop it!
I'm creating 4K artboards to explore some ideas. I create 2 of them. And it won't let me create a 3rd without rearranging. Who's idea was That!?!?
The first thing you should do is just move the stinkin' workspace. What's with all the room on the left? Look, if you only work left to right, why are you always trying to center the artboards in the workspace? You'll never use the space above or to the…

最近使用したものの一覧にファイルパスを表示する Display file path for Recently Used items
最近使用したもの一覧はインターフェースとして便利ですが、同一ファイル名を使用したりするケースでは判別がつかず、ファイル管理上、危険が伴うので、ファイルパスを表示するなど、どこかにユニーク情報を入れてほしい。

Keep items selectioned/highlighted visually apparent for efficient editing/manipulating
In CC2017 the element(s) highlighted do not remain “visually” highlighted, nor do the guides. I can highlight several thing — text, boxes, guide — and I want to be able to see what is highlighted and move them with my arrow keys. It’s very disconcerting to use the direct selection tool, click on something (highlight it) and when I move away from that item it no longer looks visually highlighted. When I am working on complex charts/graphs/figures I need to be able to see everything I highlighted/selected as I am moving or editing them.

Import SVG masks without crashing
Illustrator app crashes when an SVG mask is referenced more than once. This has been in successive releases of Illustrator. Also nested masks aren't supported either.
1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Lithological Swatches
When I want to use the USGS lithological swatches, I usually have difficulty finding them. Could all these be placed in a top level menu?

【要望】境界にジャギが発生するのを改善して欲しい
CC2015から2017にアップデートしてから、
Aiで作成したデータにpsdファイルをリンクしてサイズを縮小すると、
pdf保存をした際やaiファイルをPsから直接開いた際、
透明の境界にジャギが発生するようになりました。Aiでの作業中は特に境界が見えることはなく、あくまでそのファイルを
pdf保存またはPsから直接開いた場合のみに限ってのことです。※「書き出し」からpsd形式にした場合はジャギが発生しませんが、
アンチエイリアスのかかり方が気に入らないためできればAiで
完成させたデータをそのままPsで開きたいです。
※以前のバージョンでも縮小したリンクファイルのあるAiデータを
pdf化するとファイルの境界にジャギが発生していましたが、
pdfだけだったため作業に支障はありませんでした。psdファイルを原寸で作成して原寸でリンクすれば良いのですが、
レイアウト段階では大きいサイズでリンクして最終的に使用するサイズに
縮小することが多いので可能であれば以前のバージョンのように
直接Psから開いてもジャギが発生しないプログラムにできないでしょうか。
文章での説明だとわかりにくいため、サンプルを作成して添付しました。古いバージョンのようにpsdファイルにパスを作って透明部分をカットし、
epsファイルに変換してリンクすればジャギは発生しませんでしたが、
それだと操作性・効率が悪く非常に作業がしにくいです。今のところリンクファイルにPs側で少し光彩をかけて境界をぼかすと
ジャギが発生しないことがわかったためそれで対応していますが、
光彩をかけられないデザインの場合もあるため対処に困っています。自分で解決策が見つけられればと思い色々と検証してみましたが、
効果的な方法を見つけることが出来なかったので、
次回以降のアップデートで改善して頂けると大変ありがたいです。
もしOS側の問題（Wondows8や10なら発生しない）のようでしたら
その旨をアップデートの際ユーザーに送られるメールなどに
記載して頂けると助かります。

Enable the ablility to keep swatch catagories in my tool panel.
I would love to keep tool swatches in my tool panel. I do have the ability to take one and put it off to the side among my tools, but when I restart Illustrator the tab is gone leaving me to conclude this is not a supported feature. I use one particular swatch category a lot and this would save me time.

100 artboards
Over 100 Artboards please. This has been talked about for 3 years now to no avail.
I'm creating UI and it requires more that 100 pages. Why are we being constrained?

Save to older version of EPS or AI
CS6 does not appear to allow the user to save to older versions of EPS or AI. Many vendors and designers are still using older versions, and the inability to save to older versions is creating a lot of problems.
3 votesIt should be possible to do so through File > Save As… then select the Format as .ai or .eps, then click Save. In the next dialog select the desired version from CC to Ai3.

"Check Spelling" Back or Undo Last Button
Add a back button or Undo Last button in the "Check Spelling" dialog box. Many times I accidentally skip a word that needs correction and I have to restart "Check Spelling" from the beginning.
Other times I accidentally pick the wrong correction and have to quit "Check Spelling" undo the fix and restart the process all over again.
Thanks!

The process of making icons design is made easier in Adobe Illustrator CC.
When an illustrator or designer designs a collection of pictograms or icons designs they must arrange artboards in large quantities for different icons design according to the needs of the web, apps, and other products. Adobe Illustrator CC must provide special needs for artboard settings to facilitate the process of designing a collection of pictograms or icons design with large numbers to suit many needs such as for web, apps, games, favicons, etc. Facilitate the work process becomes lighter and faster.

An option for the pen tool to behave like Photoshop
As a Photoshop user most of the time, I would find it would be much easier to have bezier curve anchors not delete themselves when closing a path or reselecting a path. It would also be great if nudging points with the arrow keys would not interrupt and unselect the current path.
Some preference to toggle these behaviors would be fantastic!
