1. Leading / Line Height calculator (more Auto options)

   Illustrator now offers 120% as the default leading value.
   Changing it requires you to go to Justification dialog within the Character panel.
   The setting is global for the document.
   Changing the default value for all new documents requires editing [Normal Paragraph Style] in proper Document Profile (and default ones are reset every time Ai updates).

   Typography often requires more variety than just a value relative to font size.
   In real projects we have to calculate leading / line height based on line width, x-height... and also background, color, the font itself.

   While Ai hardly can do it all on its own (and it shouldn’t even try), having a way to quickly calculate a suitable leading / line height of an area type based on container’s dimension and the font size.

   Super wide lines (relative to font height) require more vertical space to help the eye to find the next line.

   Ultra short lines can have 100% or even smaller values.

   Obviously we don’t need these to be adjusted all the time we change the size of a container, and we don’t need it for each container in a document — unless we choose it. This should work as an option and a one-time operation.

2. Export Ai documents as HTML

3. Right-click on a text style to access the its definition and options

   It would be a giant leap forward for Illustrator to match InDesign's UX for paragraph and character styles management.

   Allow right-click on a character or paragraph style to access the style definition and options via a context menu: Edit style, Duplicate style, Delete style, Apply style, Redefine style, instead of using the panels’ menus.

   Original idea by Alan Gilbertson

4. Add the ability to "freeze" layers.

   Once upon a time, back around 2000, there was a natural media vector program called "Expression", by a studio named Creature House. It did a lot of heavy, complex rendering, yet retained pretty speedy performance on the machines of the time. But Microsoft bought Creature House back around 2003 and ended support for it; "Expression" became a Windows-only tool with greatly limited functionality.

   One of the ways it kept its performance snappy was by having an additional state for layers. Like Illustrator, they could be visible or invisible, and they could be locked or unlocked - but they could also be frozen.

   Frozen was sort of a super-lock. A frozen layer was locked and uneditable. But freezing a layer was also an explicit hint to Expression's renderer: I am not planning to do anything to this for quite a while; please render it to a bitmap and cache it for speedy performance. You'd start to see pixels when you'd zoom in far enough but that was fine. Saving it as a jpeg/png/tiff/whatever would ignore the frozen image and render it at full resolution.

   This was a great feature. I do some pretty complicated stuff now and I constantly miss it. All I can do now is turn a layer off or set it to render as outlines and that's nowhere near as useful as having a low-res proxy that I've explicitly asked Illustrator to use instead of rendering it again and again.

   There were a lot of other great ideas in Expression. If a few artists on the Illustrator team got Expression 3.3 running in a virtual machine and played with it for a couple of weeks they'd probably find a lot of ways to make Illustrator a more capable program for artists.

   (I would swear I asked for this before? I can't find it in the system. Maybe I asked for it in the old feature/bug form, before Uservoice. I've been using this thing as my main art medium too **** long.)

7. Edit Colors panel - drag and drop from document swatches

   1. In the "Edit Colors" panel, users can already select a document's color palette. However, it would be incredibly helpful to allow dragging and dropping individual colors from the document's palette directly into the active color set of an object.

   2. Currently, users have to manually input color values (e.g., RGB), which is time-consuming. Adding a drag-and-drop feature would make this process more efficient and user-friendly, greatly improving the workflow for designers.

   Thank you for considering this enhancement!

9. Add Units Dropdown in Transform section in Properties

   I constantly have to change units based on job parameters.
   I would like to have a Units dropdown in the Properties panel itself.
   Instead of going into Preferences or show rulers to change units, add a dropdown to the Transform section of the panel.

10. Make 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option be always disabled for PDFs made with Export As but always enabled for Save As

    We now got a way to Export a PDF, rather than Save a Copy, thanks to this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32841790

    However, these methods don’t really differ from each other, and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' is still a thing for these exported PDF, bloating the size twice and leaving a way for these to be editable.

    I want this option to be disabled and unchecked for Export as PDF — announced loudly and clearly.

    And if Save As method is chosen — this 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option should be locked as enabled.

11. There should be a dedicated Object > Dimension menu, with all the commands Properties panel has

    With the Dimension tool and dimension objects we got several important commands that deal around not having presets for these: Apply to All and Set as Default.

    These commands are available only as buttons, and are not accessible from anywhere else, including Control panel (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010126) and top menu.

    In case Properties doesn’t work (as it doesn’t for me) and another case a user just doesn’t like the panel (since it’s still very raw and buggy), we can’t get to these in any other way, and can’t assign a hotkey (since Ai just doesn’t allow to hotkey all the things we can call or press (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237).

    Please put these into a menu!

12. When Altering and Saving an Existing File on Your Computer, the Item's Time Stamp Should Update

    Standard functionality is to update the folder details time stamp for any changes made, so it is easy to find the most recent files, etc.

    Today, the file only lists its original creation date and does not update its time stamp when changes are saved.

13. Automatically describe sizes in units in file names when exporting

    I dream of having many working areas of different sizes, and exporting them to JPG or whatever as separate working areas, that the file name would automatically include the file size depending on the size set in the working file, for example in cm, mm, px... i.e. when I export many areas, in addition to the numbering, they have the current size given in the file name

15. Automatically pick a key object from a selection as a target path when using Object > Object on Path > Attach command

    Illustrator allows us to set a key object by clicking one of selected objects, to perform align and distribute operations (sadly, a very underutilized method!)

    But Objects on Path doesn’t use this method at all, technically being an align & distribute operation.

    If I have a selection and marked one object as a key one already, after calling Object > Object on Path > Attach command I STILL have to click a target path! I already made my choice before running the command, why does it force me to make a choice twice and precisely click again?

    A clear miss. Please integrate existing workflows better.
