Show slices names
I'm looking for a simple but very useful option for slices:
"Show slice name"Currently in setting of Illustrator there are only option:
"Show slice numbers", - file attached.
But it's doesn't give me anything actually.
I've created names for each slice and I need to check these names visually, without need to select each slice and goto it slice settings..2 votes -
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!

Could there be a more logical place for show center and path direction than the Attributes panel
The Attributes panel seems like the junk drawer of panels. Wouldn't the show center check box seem more at home in the transform panel, and the path direction seem better suited for stroke or pathfinder panel. Just one less panel taking up space on the artboard.

Assets panel multiple selection with just mouse
I want to use mouse and "Ctrl" to select assets I want to export in Asset Export panel, with a frame / marquee. But I can't do that. Mouse works only as per 1 selection. Yes, I can hold "Ctrl" and click on different assets or use Shift to select some, but that not useful for me. Sometimes I want to select big groups of assets located at the beginning and end of the assets list, so I just want to hold "Ctrl" and play with mouse easily and fast by selecting any items.
It's like you just holding "Ctrl"…2 votes -
Pg Up & Pg Down
Hi guys! I have a feature request. Usually the rule of thumb is if you can hotkey it or select it from a menu then you can build it into an action. There's one exception I've found.
Illustrator will respond to using the Page Up and Page Down keys on your keyboard to navigate your artboards. BUT it ignores these commands if you're recording an action.
We could make some really robust and powerful actions if we could program actions to navigate through the artboards. Please please please add this?
PS it would also be amazing if variables could navigate…

Export to SVG, export page knockout groups.
Page knockout groups seem to be ignored when exporting to SVG. You can manually change the knockouts to cutouts, for example using pathfinder divide and deleting the unwanted parts, but would be nice if you didn't need to.

Change the basis of the the zero angle
I've always found the decision to have zero degrees along the horizontal odd and out of whack with many other applications and approaches. Being able to assign it vertical (north), would be much more useful and predictable, so as not needing to assign negative or positive values, or other weird differentials to actually get the correct angle.

Make InDesign scripts to work in Illustrator
It would be great if InDesign and Illustrator would use the same scripts. I have several in InDesign that I desperately need in Illustrator.
ALSO it would be very great if we could assign Shortcuts to script: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31039456
As well as adding a scripts Panel like in Indesign: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/39903586

Screen resolution of Illustrator 23.0 - Not recognising retina display?
Just downloaded the new Adobe Apps as an update. All fine except illustrator. It looks massive on my screen. Seems it's not seeing retina display or can't work out the size of my display. Attached are two screenshots. One is illustrator window looking massive and Photoshop looking as it should.

Ability to import from Adobe Draw on iPad as a path/line and not a filled shape.
Quite an essential thing to be able to export sketches from Adobe Draw as STROKES (editable paths/lines) instead of a filled shape, which is not readily editable in AI.

Rotate all text in place
Being able to select all Text on an art board and rotate it all in place would be extremely helpful versus having to rotate each text box individually after rotating an art board.
1 voteAn intended way of doing that is to use Object > Transform > Transform Each command. But there is no way to rotate objects right there on canvas with the Rotate tool. If you want the mode for Rotate tool to do that, vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/46268581-rotate-objects-separately

Don't force baseline shift settings to be sticky
For me, I only rarely need to adjust baseline shift settings (usually when I want to adjust the verticality of a trademark symbol relative to body copy.
Unfortunately, Illustrator retains the baseline shift value, so subsequent text has it applied by default, forcing me to reset it. I'd absolutely love it if that setting defaulted back to zero, given the infrequency with which I actually need to use it (for me, it's the exception, not the rule). Generally after my occasional need for a baseline-adjusted character, I'm forced to type in new text, manually reset the baseline shift value to…

I just think the Pantone no. can be changed to any name, sometimes it is quite a trouble to a designer
I just think the Pantone no. can be changed to any name, sometimes it is quite a trouble to a designer. Some Customers need accurate Pantone color instead of CMYK.

Need a notice when opening an AI file if a linked item has changed since last open...
It would be nice if Illustrator would notify me on open if a linked/placed item has changed since the AI file was last saved.

Documents get opened in XD instead of Ai
Can we go back to having .ai files be read by Ai? this new update is not allowing me to view .ai files they all want to be read by XD.
Open my files with Ai instead of XD1 voteFor some reason the OS file associations got reassigned by XD, probably because it got installed later. We can usually change these in Windows Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Choose Default Apps by File Type.

Edit overlapped objects
Some times when you use illustrator to edit PDF obtained from Cad programs, you get overlapped lines. It will be a good idea to have some filters to edit overlapped elements.
