1. Automatically rearrange are resize selected objects in columns / rows with uniform gaps

   Could you have a function that automatically arranges links or shapes in the layout space with an equal distance in width and height?
   Have a nice day.

2. Select > Object > Dimension

   It’s quite easy to accidentally convert a live dimension object into a dead group (reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47739104)

   When it happens, there is no way to tell if a dimension is live or dead but to try and select it, or view in Layers, selectin them one by one.

   What we need (even if the bug above get fixed) is an ability to select all the dimensions at once.

   The powerful and free Select Menu plugin (https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu) doesn’t have this item yet as well.

3. 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.

4. More controls for the center point of the Transform effect: relative to artboard / object

   I would like a few more controls for where Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform centers the transformation.

   Next to the 3x3 centerpoint grid, there would be an "Origin" dropdown. offering the options of "Relative to Object" and "Relative to Artboard". "Relative to Object" is the current behavior, and should be the default option.

   There would also be a pair of X and Y inputs to specify an offset of the centerpoint from whatever corner was chosen.

   ---

   As an example of why I might want this: I have an Appearance stack for doing quick and dirty rimlighting of an object by adding a fill on top that's Transformed to about 95% of its size, with an off-center centerpoint and one extra copy; these are followed up by a Minus Back effect to chop most of it off. It's a fun technique that lets me block out a bunch of shapes with very stylized shading very quickly. But it's not good for light radiating out from a point in the image, I'd have to constantly change the transformation angle on multiple shapes.

   With this request implemented, I could draw a point light source somewhere in the artboard, modify my lighting style to center its transformation on that light source, then quickly block out an entire dramatically-lit scene.

   ---

   I've included a mockup, which I made by crudely cutting and pasting the similar controls from Astute's Phantasm Halftone plugin into the existing Transform effect.

   ---

   Also while I am asking for Transform effect improvements, can we get a switch to change the Move sliders between the current setting of absolute numbers of whatever the document's measurement unit is, and a new setting of percentage of the object's size? That would be a big improvement to my automatic lighting workflow, too.

5. Make Revert operation into a History step we can undo

   Shielding Revert this with a confirmation does NOT work.
   Having confirmations is a bad UX solution, and it’s known now — it seems like only Adobe is not aware.
   People don’t read these, and either learn to not notice these or to skip these.

   What apps should do instead is to allow a mistake, but then giving a chance to Undo it.
   Like modern email clients now do — you can undo sending an email, because there is a hidden delay.

   Photoshop does NOT have a confirmation, but it allows us to UNDO the Revert, unlike other apps.

7. 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.

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. 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/333657/suggestions/33164479 and
    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.
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/30997678

    TL;DR: I think it's high time we took a holistic look at gradients and their inexplicable limitations across all Adobe software. Thanks!

11. 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?

12. 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.

13. Add an option to measure gaps between objects in Objects on Path by their bounds, not between centers

    Objects on Path needs more options and in its current setup is very limited in its usefulness. This tool feels like it's still in beta. Whilst it's good at doing the one thing it's designed to do, it's missing a lot of useful capabilities.

    If the objects are different sizes it doesn't space them evenly. Spacing currently is determined only by the center points of the objects rather than its bounding box. At least make it an option.

14. Non-destructive clipping mask options

    An option where you take a whole object or group and use it's whole area(including strokes) as a clipping mask for other layers. Similar to what you can do in Photoshop.

    So you can create for instance, a shape with stroke and set it as the clipping mask for an underlying texture. Without the need to flatten it, so you can experiment with it, or keep a text live for later editting it.

    Or have multiple shapes working as the clipping mask while you are choosing the appropriate combination or later need to adapt to a different format.

15. When dropping an object filled with a pattern into Swatches panel, open New Swatch dialog to add the pattern as a new swatch

    If we drag-n-drop any artwork into Swatches, a new pattern swatch gets created based on this artwork.
    But if we drag-n-drop an singular object with an existing pattern applied to it — nothing happens, as if Ai tries to create a nested pattern and refuses to do so. I think it’s quite obvious what a user intends to do in this case... but we get no warning.

    When we use Pattern Options panel/mode, and fill an object within a pattern with another pattern, and try to save, Ai throws us a message (rather vague — Ai knows for sure what restricted element we have, but won’t tell us specifically).
    Why not throw the same one (but better, with clear 'no nested patterns!')?

18. 白色底的文档导出缺少边界 / A way to export an image with canvas color visible when Use Artboard option is disabled

    当画板为白色底时，右键“导出所选项目”，导出的文件没有边界，无法分辨单个项目。
    目前的解决方法是在画板上添加一个有描边的矩形，但是当有多个画板时这个方法会比较麻烦。另外一种方法是每个画板单独导出一张图片，再整合到一个文档里，这样也会增加很多工作量。希望团队能有更好的方案。
    使用场景举例：当给客户提案或预览整体效果时，需要将多个画板同时导出到一个文件（png或jpg），这时如果画板底色为白色，就无法分辨边界。

19. Puppet Warp should respect existing layer structures.

    I love Puppet Warp but I hate having to ungroup my paths and put them back in the layer structure that works for me when I'm done using Puppet Warp.

    Please do whatever needs to be done so that I can grab a bunch of paths about multiple layers, Puppet Warp them, and have them stay in the same place they were before I did this. I'm fine if it's a switch in the tool's settings because some people love this behavior.

    my idea, is that the app window is "in focus" as soon as you touch any part of it. Being no web app can obscure it — which it does on the daily. Webex, Chrome and even Safari feel free appearing on top of my AI window. Ma dudes. Tell me I am not the 1st one to notice.
