Version: Illustrator 29.7.1 (but occurs in earlier versions as well)
Problem:
Text frame coordinates become inconsistent after undo and redo.Reproduction Steps:
1. Create point text with two or more paragraphs
2. Move arbitrarily (required)
3. Resize (using the dialog of Scale tool)
4. Undo
5. Redo
In the above steps, the result of step 5 is different from the result of step 3.Desired Result:
Steps 3 and 5 must match〈にほんご〉

The invisible 'stroke path' effect in the Appearance stacks of strokes should be made visible.
There is an invisible effect in an Appearance stack on a stroke wherein the stroke is actually rendered along the path. It is possible to place effects above or below this invisible effect by dropping the effect on the stroke's entry or within the stroke's expanded entry.
It is very useful to be able to place effects before or after strokes are rendered, but it's very confusing to deal with when a crucial effect is invisible. If you create and place the effects the wrong way then a list of steps that used to work, or that work for the…

Display a warning about missing fonts when saving a file
Display a warning when saving a file if there is a font issue—either via a pop-up or perhaps during the saving process, similar to the warning about pixelation at 72 dpi.
We get a warning during assembly, but once the assembly is complete and we create versions within that assembly, we don't reassemble it, and we no longer get any warnings about missing fonts. The only thing to do is to manually check whether the “Resolve missing font issues” option is enabled or not, and not everyone does that.

Retrouver la fonction aléatoire dans le filtre Distorsion/Tranformation > Esquisse

"Paste Remembers Layers ONE TIME" option
Rarely do I want this feature active more than 1 or 2 times. Honestly, making "one time" the default would be fine with me, but good to have options.

Smarter Crop tool
If I have an image like a t-shirt with a white background, the crop tool should be able to immediately set boundaries to the edges of the pixels.
Currently it does one of 2 things.
1. I sets the boundary to the edges of the white box which is not useful.
2. it sets boundaries which are completely random which means it's actually faster to just mask the image rather than messing with the randomly placed boundary from the crop tool.In Photoshop, crop is able to intelligently decide to crop to empty pixels, or whatever.
Also, the crop tool…4 votes -

Enable Illustrator to retain the filenames of placed SVGs or EPS files when shift+dragging them to the canvas from Explorer or Finder..
GOAL:
I am in the process of re-coloring an SVG icon set that has 155 separate SVGs, and I want to then re-export all the modified icons with their original filenames. Unfortunately this appears to be impossible because Illustrator just assigns generic "<group>" names to every placed object.
STEPS:
- I place all SVGs I want to recolor into a new document by shift+dragging them from windows explorer to my open document.
- After this action, all placed SVGs just get a generic name like “
<group>”.

Native Math Type
Can we get a native Math type text editor inside Illustrator (or Creative Suite). The LaTeX or Math Type apps are really difficult to use inside Illustrator.

Adding strokes to images easier
On either links or embedded image files, it would be super helpful to be able to add a stroke to it instead of the messy workaround of drawing one or adding multiple, RAM-hogging glow effects with no blur to the get that effect.

Improve the preview quality when placing a file
When importing a file to place it, the quality can be quite disastrous and it can be difficult to know if the version being imported is the right one, if the only difference is in the details.
Alternatively, a larger window with a zoom effect upon hover would make this feature exceptional.
I love pixel art but this feels ancient and in dire need of an upgrade.

Suggestion for Faster Clipping Mask Editing Workflow in Adobe Illustrator
I would like to suggest a small workflow improvement for Clipping Mask editing in Illustrator.
Currently, when an image inside a clipping mask becomes stretched or distorted, users need to go through multiple steps such as:
Isolate Selected Clipping Mask
Edit Contents
Resize or reposition the image
Exit isolation modeThis process can feel slow during fast-paced design work.
It would be extremely helpful if Illustrator had:
A dedicated shortcut for “Edit Clipping Mask Contents”
A quick toggle button directly on the control bar
Or an easier one-click option to switch between editing the mask and the content inside it…

Continuous Line via Length and Angle
Create a variant of the line tool that you can continuously add a segment via entering length and angle in a tool options dialogue box. It would stay open and follow you around on your screen until you click okay/finish/done. Just a small box with length and angle options.

Randomize options for symbol sprayer
I like to use the symbol sprayer to quickly place a cluster of shapes, but it never looks organic because every symbol is identical. I wish there were settings on the symbol sprayer to randomize the size and rotation of the symbols, similar to settings you might choose when editing a brush in Photoshop or Fresco.

Image trace options
I like the 'ignore color' function. I want to have an option where I can select i.e. four colors, and image trace the divides the image into those four categories. This could save so much time in tracing maps/drawings/scans.

Smartly bring relevant panels up from under other ones based on context
AI's interface can clutter easily, resulting in panels hiding under other panels. In some cases this can be solved by some intelligent context sensitivity. E.g: when Type is selected, please bring the Character palette to front; when a Path is selected, bring Stroke forward. For Tools, something alike can happen: a context sensitive section in the Tool palette, presenting all relevant tools.

Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration
Illustrator & Adobe Stock Integration
Observation | A User may download and insert a comp image from Adobe Stock into their project while awaiting client image approval, however, relinking the file is a long an unnecessarily tedious process.
Behaviour | The User places the comp Adobe Stock image into their project. The client approves the images. The User clicks the ReLink button, copies the comp image ID number from the filename in the top left of the screen, navigates to stock.adobe.com, pastes in the filename ID number and searches for the image. The User then downloads the high resolution image,…

Relative math operations with defined and mixed values in input fields
When you have several objects with different parameters in your selection, Illustrator would show nothing in the input field controlling this parameter.
For example, if you have two paths selected, one having 1 pt stroke weight, and another with 4 pt — Ai would show nothing in Weight in Stroke panel, meaning it’s a 'mixed value'.What if we could focus this field, type '+5' in it, and get 1+5=6 for one path and 4+5=9 for the other?
Why not making it work for similar value as well? Instead of putting the cursor after the, say '2.25 pt' and type…

Let me see how many paths are in my document once all the appearances are processed.
I do a lot of crazy things with the Appearance palette. Sometimes it's really easy for me to start generating absolutely apocalyptic numbers of paths without realizing it, and make Illustrator start acting really weird in seemingly unrelated places.
I would love it if the preview renderer (both cpu and gpu!) kept track of how many paths it is actually rendering once all the effects on all the paths in the documents are handled, and alerted me when I start getting into catastrophically huge numbers of paths. The threshold where this starts happening should be user-configurable, so it can be…

Dual units of measurement on Transform panel
I need to be able to see two units of measurement in the Transform / Properties panel. I work with documents in centimeters and inches. I also need to be able to enable or disable dual measurements from the hamburger menu.
