  1. Faciliter les masques d'écrêtage sur des formes complexes

    J'ai réussi une seule fois à le faire et depuis impossible, j'ai passé plusieurs heures mais je n'arrive pas à comprende où est le blocage. Cela devrait être simple et facile car c'est une manipulation facile via pathfinder ou le tracé transparent.
    EN bleu version test réussi et en orange les crash tests. Si vous pouvez m'aider, merci d'avance !

  2. Linked copies / instances

    I need linked copies / instances - copies that follow the transformation of the original object (or vice versa).
    A lot of times I do copy paths, groups or other objects in place, and just change the stroke width, apply an effect, or change the colour. Afterwards a change the size or position just slightly, AND THAN THE HASSLE STARTS. From there on I need to do the exact same change to the "original" path too. Too much work, too much time lost.

    Do you want to program that, or should I start a plugin.

  3. 寸法ツールの補助線を付けない

    寸法表示を「付けない」モードが欲しいです。

    現状では「補助線を隠す」項目がありますが、アピアランス分割して非表示オブジェクトの解除をすると補助線が現れてしまいます。

    作成する図面の都合上、補助線があると困るので「隠す」ではなく「付けない」選択肢が欲しいです。

  4. Add Round Butt cap option for strokes

    The original idea by Johan Perjus, from https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/things-i-wish-adobe-would-address-with-adobe-illustrator-4796a89e1bae

    There are quite a few cases where I use rounded strokes as a starting point for building shapes and where this option would be useful, as in order to know the correct outer dimensions of a stroke, one has to deduct the stroke with from the end caps.

  5. Shortcut with Cmd to select a tool

    Shortcuts with Cmd keys

    Please please make it possible to use the Cmd key to make shortcut to select a tool. This is crucial for working quick and efficiently. I know about the V and the A for choosing Selection and Direct Selection Tool, but when you are working with text, you cannot use these. Then you have to go the long way up to the tools panel to choose these. This make you work really slow.

    In Indesign it is easy to make this shortcut. In Photoshop and Illustrator it is prohibited. Please make this small adjustment to Illustrator…

  6. Make fractal noise gradient

    One of my favorite gradient types from the time of Xara was 'Fractal Nosie' and 'Fractal Plasma'. No fine-tuning, but pretty handy for adding quick perturbance, especially when used as a transparency mask.

    It’s still there.
    Today, VectorStyler app offers a similar gradient type: https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/gradients/

    We can do something similar using freeform gradient in Ai... but try to scale or rotate control points all at once, I dare you.

    Also please take a look at this related request:
    Make conical gradient

  7. Allow to create a new file from a selection on canvas or Layers

    Can't create new files from layers or groups, gotta select everything and create a file, instead of just creating an artboard from by the file dimensions copied.

  8. "Show me the offending object" button in the appearance error dialog for [IABD] and [!out] errors

    I really would kinda love it if there was a "Show me the offending object" button on the "Error processing appearance" requestor next to the "OK" button.

  9. Regarding the selection of E-mode

    When using the group selection tool to select objects within a group, pressing "E" can select the objects, but in the "selection tool" state, pressing "ctrl+alt" switches to the "group selection tool", and pressing "E" cannot select objects within the group.

  10. OKHSL / OKLCH Color Models Support

    The HSL color model has a lot of issues with it and has been improved upon with OKHSL.

    See this article—once you see the OKHSL color wheel, you will be sold instantly! Looks way better.

    See attached images of HSL vs OKHSL.

    Full article: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/colorpicker/

    Would be great to have this in Illustrator.

  11. View Transparency Grid only in artboards

    Like other users I've encountered here, I find the whole-window Transparency Grid to be a significant distraction. It'd be helpful to be able to at least opt to show the grid only within artboards, and even better to toggle the grid for specific artboards (see screenshot).

  12. Put gradients in swatch groups, option to make them global, work between Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop

    It's a three-in-one suggestion around the entire universe of gradient issues in Adobe software.

    A. Why can't we put gradients in swatch group folders? This seems like a very basic feature for swatch organization.
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31389250

    B. Why can't the gradient be global so editing a swatch position or color in the gradient panel moves/changes it across all uses of the gradient relative to the current scale of that gradient?

    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37224865)

    C. Why can't we save gradient swatches in a way that is shareable between other Adobe software? Available gradient styles are also inconsistent in the Adobe-verse.

  13. Objects on Path should allow snapping to (smart) guides

    Hello Creatives,
    I hope you enjoy the new handy "objects on path" tool as I do.

    The Request:
    It would be awesome if Objects on Path (New Tool) could snap to smart guides, guides or even - let's go wild - to a grid. As sometimes you work within systems and/or objects are related to each it feels like this feature would make it a really great tool to design with.

    Kind regards
    Andreas

  15. Allow to make menus and dropdowns more compact on smaller screens

    Anything under 1920x1080 does not allow for UI scaling. I use the drop down menus a lot. When I have to also scroll on each drop down menu it causes a lot of time loss. If I could scale the menu lists to remove the need to scroll it would be very helpful.

    I see that the tab/menu for Effect is still an older style menu list. It's much more compact.

    Maybe there is a way to revert all the menu lists to that older style?

  16. Setting scale dimensions for each layer

    Currently, each layer can only be drawn at a scale of 1:1. If it becomes possible to set the scale for each layer, it will be possible to use it in the architectural field. Please consider this.

  17. Frescoの「連続する範囲内を塗り」を追加して欲しい。

    ライブペイントではなく、塗りブラシのまま直感的に必要な範囲だけ塗りたい。

    これが出来ない&やりづらい為に他社のツールを利用せざる負えないケースが増えた。

  18. Add an "All Minuscule" button to the character tool panel

    There's an all caps button why not the opposite. At times I've seen plenty of brands use minuscule characters for some lines exclusively. It would be nice to have templates that prevent the error to have majuscule letters or vowels when a brand doesn't want it and explaining it to the client/customer. I've made a sample you can check out. It seems simple enough to add.

  19. Espacio de trabajo universal y personalizado entre apps de Adobe

    Hola Adobe 👋
    Soy diseñadora gráfica y trabajo con Illustrator, Photoshop e InDesign a diario. Estas aplicaciones comparten muchos paneles (Capas, Alinear, Color, Transformar, etc.), por lo que me gustaría poder crear un espacio de trabajo personalizado y universal, que se sincronice entre las apps de Creative Cloud.
    La idea es simple: si un panel existe en esa app, que se muestre en el lugar donde lo puse; si no, que lo ignore. Pero que respete mi estructura visual y estilo de trabajo, sin tener que volver a crear manualmente el espacio de trabajo en cada aplicación.
    Además, cada vez…

  20. Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved

    Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.

    I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the…
