1. Improve User-Friendliness

   I would enjoy Illustrator a lot more if I had the option to make the UI that of Photoshop's. It allows me to easily and quickly manipulate the layers, unlike in Illustrator. In illustrator, if I wish to change the opacity of a layer and solely a layer, I've found it to be impossible, since the opacity slider changes the opacity of my brush tool for future use, even if I manipulate its opacity back to 100%. Why is the desktop version of Illustrator so much less user-friendly than the free iOS and Android application versions? The only reason that I'm posting this here instead of just using Photoshop is because Photoshop isn't a vector program, and draws with pixels. The reason I'm not using Illustrator Draw is because it doesn't have all the tools I need to make everything I would like to; I like using my pressure-sensitive Wacom to variate my lines, but am constantly flustered by poor UI decisions and accessibility. For me, and many others like me, I hope you adjust some things accordingly, as it can be frustrating to lose your mind over something as small as changing a layer's opacity, and just that layer's opacity.

   Thank you, and with much consideration

2. Add Anchor Tool: Make it easier to add multiple anchors

   When doing a complex drawing, I often start with a simple shape and then use the "Add Anchor Point" tool to add points to a line, near where I plan to place them (by clicking and dragging). For instance I'm drawing a partially constructed "Death Star" for a T-shirt I'm designing. I started with a circle, and on one side of the circle, I'm creating the (cartoonish) effect of a "ragged edge". This requires a sh*t load of anchor points, which have to be created by clicking on the perimeter of the founding circle, then moving slightly along the line, and finally aiming and clicking again. Emphasis on "aiming", which is quite tedious, since I miss 20 to 30% of the time.

   It would be splendid if I could aim once, then repeatedly click, and watch little anchor points march along the line, spacing themselves, from each other, for easy click-and-drag, when it comes time to place the little buggers.

   I saw the "More advanced 'Add Anchor Points' function" request, but it seems over complicated, so I didn't vote on it.

5. Match display sizes across CC apps already. Please.

   1. Open AI
   2. Create new A4 document
   3. Display @ 100%
   4. Open ID
   5. Create new A4 document
   6. Display @ 100%
   7. View AI and ID windows side by side
   8. Compare sizes.

   FFS! Please make apps sync real 100% size rendering of documents already. It‘s fundamental for graphic professionals to be able to view documents in real size. Why is this still not fixed.

   100% is 100% irrespective of display resolution. Come on, it‘s 2017. Nobody is working on 72 dpi anymore. We all have 5K retina displays.

   Please try to keep up, Adobe.

   Completed (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Ai now displays A4 as a proper 210×297mm (if Display Print Size at 100% Zoom option is set in Preferences) — you can check it with a ruler next to a screen.

   This messes up 100% for Web-based documents, unfortunately, and this is yet have to be resolved.

   InDesign, however, displays it a bit smaller… (this should be asked from InDesign developers).
   Photoshop does it almost perfect when you choose View > Actual Size.

6. libCC remain path aspect vs PDF like

   When incorporating an object from a library, (but the same behavior occurs if the file is placed) the Object lose all the appeareance and is imported as expanded wth some "clipping path added"

   however, the Appearance information is still in the file because if you ask to edit the original all is fine.

   Could it be possible to add a preference in the "embed" menu to ask if you embed as "Pdf" or as "AICB" the same dialog you can have in Saving Clipboard Prefs ?

   This could be really valuable.

   Thanks

   Need More Info  ·  Yogesh Sharma responded

   Hi Jean-Michel,

   Press the Option key while dropping graphics from CC Library to artboard in Illustrator to bring the ‘original’ AI content. This will directly embed the graphic. Without the Option key it places the graphic, and all AI files get placed as PDF, hence the issues.

   Does the Option key work for you?

   Thanks,
   Yogesh

7. Unless I'm missing something, please export graphics to the exact same dimensions they were designed to be. Do not add arbitary padding.

   In all good conscience I feel like I absolutely have to be missing something here. But time and time again, upon exporting some UI graphics from AI, they turn out to be wider and taller than they were designed to be. Is this padding arbitrary? How was it even determined that these pixels would be added to the exported assets? Am I truly missing something?

   I mocked something up in XD, but after creating a few UI elements it was apparent that XD is nowhere near up to the task for making full-fledged graphics. No biggie, I was a little jazzed to get to create 300 UI elements using Illustrators new Assets panel and associated export feature. After a handful of gx were completed, I realized the assets were exporting with dimensions larger than the asset. It still makes no sense to me. So I had to abandon it and switch to Sketch. Honestly, am I missing something somewhere?

8. Artboards in 2018 can no longer be rapidly deleted

   In past versions of Illustrator, I was able to click on an artboard and continuously delete artboards until I had to ones that I want. Now when I select an artboard and delete it, the selection is deselected. I now have to continuously highight and delete, highlight and delete until I have removed all the artboards I need.

10. Place files via drag-n-drop but still allow options to be selected before placement.

    If we want to place a page of a multi-page PDF into an AI file, we have to do so using the File->Place menu with Options checked. It would be nice to be able to simply drag the PDF onto the AI document and have the option dialog open so we can choose which page to place.

11. Mobile Creations

    In the 2015 version of Illustrator, when opening the app, there was a Mobile Creations section where I could open any of the drawings I had made on my iPad. While I was only able to open these if no other Illustrator files were currently open, it was at least easy to access tese items when needed.

    Currently, there isn't an option for this and I have to install the older version after mine updated automatically.

    It would be helpful to be able to access these mobile items easily from the landing page in Illustrator and from a customer Open option in the File menu. While I recognize that I can "send" these items to Illustrator if needed, my results with that flow are wonky at best and it's sensible to have a way to pull up ALL my documents in CC, not just computer-based files.

12. When it will be fixed question.

    Dear Developers of Illustrator CC and Management team, i have seen the list of all of your pretty names in about illustrator section and can now play "How many Kumars worked on the latest version" game. It may be different in your culture and menthality, like you have more patience, tolerance, you think strategically and working on the long term goals or such. But why do you think that a half cooked curry should taste as good as propery cooked? Why for the heavens sake do we have to spend more time working as your Quality Assurance, and have a "when it will be fixed" experience instead of concentrationg on our daily creative tasks? How did you manage to bring a rock-solid design tool into the current state? Features are good, but it has to be a reliable and consistent software in the first place. Not a half baked curry stew with a pupped wrap on top. Make a stable version. Test it. Test it again. Then test it even more. Add don't dare releasing it before it works at least as good as Illustrators 7-CS6 to not bring shame on the people who have created the Illustrator. Thank you.

13. If an active text area is way off-screen, end text entry and treat keyboard input as shortcuts.

    If you have been typing in a text area and pan away somewhere else, continuing to type results in the view port being dragged part of the way back to the active text area with the first key stroke and the rest of the way on the second.

    Typing into an off-screen text area is almost always a mistake for me and usually results in a text area that is now empty except for a Space, V, T or A character from my most common keyboard shortcuts. I'd prefer if it just registered that I probably didn't want to type into an off-screen text area and took my input as a keyboard shortcut.

18. stop Live corners assumptions

    When drawing with the curvature, I haven't tested with regular pen, if you draw a mix of corners and somewhat curved surfaces, then you go back to add some nice radiused corners, you will likely be annoyed by illustrator Thinking that you intended to draw a giant chamfer.

    No, I didn't draw a large chamfer. Do not assume I drew a large chamfer. Assuming a radius when illustrator sees a tangent arc connecting two lines is Great. But with chamfer there's nothing to be tangent to. So just because I drew two sharp corners in a row, before two curved segments, doesn't mean that I wanted it to be a chamfer!!!!

    I'm trying to create some somewhat technical drawings in illustrator. If you compare it to Some other software (not going to say which ones) the experience is Terrible. Adding live corners was great. I had to use a plugin to do that before, and it wasn't live. I had to select a corner, run the script, hit undo. I don't need it often, so can't pay for Astute graphics.

    I looked through here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshape-with-live-corners.html
    And there's no solution to this, sort of.

    The workaround is, when you find a chamfer that you didn't want, get the direct select tool and nudge one of the corners. That breaks the chamfer that you "wanted."

    This should not be happening. Seems like a bug. The corner should not become a chamfer unless you do an Option-click on the live corner widget. Could you please share more details on when this happens?
