  1. Menu TYPE no Illustrator

    Creio que seria muito interessante inverter a ordem no Menu Type:
    "Fontes Recentes" ficar antes da opção "Fontes".
    Porquê:
    Ao levar o ponteiro do mouse para o menu "Fontes Recentes", quase sempre o mouse atinge a opção "Fontes", o que trava momentaneamente o programa (carregando as fontes). Então, o que deveria ser uma coisa rápida, prática, acaba ficando lenta. A troca na ordem dessas opções acabaria com esse incoveniente.

  2. Remove size limitation on playing tutorial videos in the Discovery window

    Illustrator allows playing tutorial videos in the Discover panel (Help > Tutorials). However, the size of the video is constrained by the width constraint on the Discovery window. There is no apparent way to enlarge the video big enough to see the detail in the video to follow along with the tutorial. Tutorial videos should be able to be enlarged up to full screen. Many videos only appear to be accessible now through the in-app tutorial.

  4. Hitting Escape while creating a shape, an artboard, while using Rotate, Scale, etc., doesn't cancel the process

    When we marquee a selection and hit Escape — it gets canceled.
    When we hit Escape while dragging out a guide — it gets canceled.
    Dragging out a brush on the canvas — works.
    Dragging out a swatch to drop it on a gradient or the canvas — works.
    Dragging the appearance form the Appearance panel — works.
    ...and many other cases

    Escape does NOT work for these cases:
    1. Creating a shape, an artboard, an area text
    2. Rotating, scaling, shearing, free transforming...
    3. Setting up the width with the Width tool
    4. Setting up the gradient with the…

  5. Numbered List - Choose at which number we wish to start the list.

    Hi, It would be great if we could rearrange the order of lists for Numbered List options.

    You choose which "Levels" the numbering is but what if under that you would have the option to select at which number to start, 2...3...4 or whatever number we wish to insert.

  6. Anchor Reduction Brush

    Would it be possible to create a brush or an eraser to reduce anchor points with finer control than Path > Simplify? For example, a user wants to clean up a complex path where most of the path is great but part of the path needs anchor reduction. Include the same options of Path > Simplify and allow the brush to scale up and down. When the user brushes over the anchor points, the anchor points are removed. Maybe include an alt key option that toggles the brush functionality between Precise Simplify and Bulk Delete Anchor Point.

  7. All bounding boxes always visible

    An option to show all bounding boxes would be useful. Currently, only the selected object is displayed with a "border". This would help to locate specific objects that are sometimes hard to see. It could look similar to how it looks after using the "select all" option. Probably the problem then would be to highlight the actually selected item. But it could be quick to switch on/off, or it could be in a different e.g. slightly simplified form (compared to "select all")

  8. Pressing V opens "view" tab instead of switching to selection tool.

    On Windows, when you use V to switch from pen tool to selection tool, some times it opens up the "View" tab instead.

  9. Ability to see the size of elements in terms of KB/MB to easily find cause of file bloat

    When trying to strip down a file, it would be really useful to be able to see which effects in particular are bloating the file. For example - I had a file with a load of boxes with a glow effect applied to them. I thought I had undone all of this but the size of the file was still over 40mb. I had to dig through all the boxes again in the appearence panel to see that there were two instances of a rasterize effect that i'd missed. when i deleted those the file size went down by over…

  10. Umlaute

    In den Adobe Programmen ist es sehr umständlich Umlaute zu verwenden wenn man mit dem Mac arbeitet. In der Regel ist es so, dass man z.B. ä, ö und ü bilden kann in dem man lange auf die Tasten a, o und u drückt. Dann öffnet sich ein Kontextmenü in dem man den gewünschten Umlaut auswählen kann. Leider ist die Verwendung von Umlauten nur mit komplizierten Shortcuts möglich. Hier ist dringend eine Verbesserung nötig!

  11. cloud doc icon

    Why is the icon to show a file is saved to the cloud a check mark?! It would be more clear if it were a cloud.

  12. Voice Over Accessibility UX - When the cursor hovers over Tool Tips and Labels etc, speak the text.

    Voice Over Accessibility UX - When the cursor hovers over Tool Tips and Labels etc, speak the text. This is a basic web accessibility feature not included in CC suite. I have used the Adobe software for more than 20 years but with macular degeneration it is difficult for me to read small texts. Tell your colleagues at PhotoShop and InDesign about this.

  13. Share only certain artboards for new feedback option

    Currently, I have several artboards in Illustrator and I want to share my designs for feedback but I only want to include certain artboards for feedback. Right now when I click share and generate a link it just automatically includes all artboards. It would be nice to have the option to select the artboards you want to include for review. See screenshot for a mockup.

  15. Eye dropper tool not functioning on IPad 3.0.2

    Eye dropper tool is not working on iPad 3.0.2 (the latest version.)
    Selecting a colour on an art board or photo with the eyedropper does not produce a matching colour, it only removes the existing colour of an object. Please could you let me know if this is a bug, or how to workaround this issue?

  16. Enable Symbols Options edit in multi selections

  17. User Customization of Folder Cover at Home Screen

    Today I was organizing some files and creating folders when I thought how cool it would be to create an edit option in which you can add an image to the cover of a folder, currently where there is a folder icon.
    Not only could this further organization, I think a customization option of a folder cover appeals to a large majority of users, especially here in university.
    Think of how you can edit a playlist cover in Spotify!

    Thanks and I hope some people can relate to this customization idea!

  18. Subdivide a segment between two selected points

    Hi Illustrator Dev,
    how about adding an option to subdivide a segment between two points.

    The menu button "add anchor points" subdivides all object, adding unnecessary points.

    See my screenshot
    Thanks

  19. Allow us to set a custom scale instead of having only one 1/10 through Large Canvas

    I know there is already a massive discussion around this topic, but I had an idea this morning. The "Large Artboard" that is now available as far as I can tell is not truly a new massive artboard. It's just doing 1:10 scale math for you automatically. I see underneath the hood when using my vinyl cutter for example. A file sent to the cutting software sees everything at 10% size. Another example is when copy/paste from large artboard to a normal board, it will come in at 10% size.
    Here's my suggestion: Instead of having a single large artboard…

  20. Hitting Alt+Down does not open dropdown lists

    I expect Alt+Down to drop down focused lists with options inside, like Font Family / Style, Stroke Weight, etc.

    Sure, I understand it might conflict with duplicating, but in fact no, since Ai does not duplicate when a field is focused anyway. At the same time, it’s a common and expected behaviour in other applications.
