1. Need 'Allow Tool Recording ' feauture in Illustrator's Action Panel

   I'm a graphic designer, digital artist, and traditional painter with over 20 years of experience. As a digital artist and painter, I would like to record my workflow within Illustrator with targeted layers, similar to how Rebelle records only top layers. I would greatly appreciate it if you could implement the tool recording and workflow recording options in Illustrator specifically for particular targeted layers or for all the layers in a project. This would be a great option for all digital artists, as it would save us time in recording and showcasing our work in video form. It's a very important feature that must be included in Adobe Illustrator.

5. Animated Zoom for Mouse wheel

   Please add the Animated Zoom function for the mouse wheel, now this can only be done using the "Z" key and the mouse movement. It is very inconvenient to scroll using alt + mouse wheel when the percentage of increase jumps from 66% to 100% in one turn of the mouse wheel. The trackpad on the macbook zooms very well, but it is not convenient to use. Add a switch to the "General" settings next to the scroll wheel " Use Animated Zoom to scroll with the mouse.

6. Allow new Smooth command (not the tool) to be a live effect also

   New Smooth is quite handy to deal with rugged shapes. But it is also introduces the new 'dialog-less' approach, when we are basically given a dialog that auto-commits on dropping a selection. Once it is dropped, the change is applied. We will get accustomed to that.

   But imagine I smoothed something, then get distracted, and returned to the smoothed path a while after. To undo and reapply this I’d have to go back in History (at least we finally have it).

   What if we can apply this as an effect to an object, rather than a immediate filter? It means we can later go back to settings and change the value, and Expand Appearance of it when needed.

   Both approaches are usable, so please add it as an effect also.

7. Allow third-party developers to add dividers and custom sorting into Effect menus

   Third-party developers can add custom items in menus.
   Some create their own sub-menus, some add them in-between native commands... there are several practices they use and when they all get used together it feels somewhat chaotic.

   But it feels like this is because plugin devs can’t fully control the commands in menus. It turns out, they can’t control the order and sorting, add dividers in Effects (but seemingly can in every other menu)...

   Effect menu is the most weird menu in Ai, it looks different from others. Maybe that’s why?

   There is an existing UV post about it:
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/36951433-effects-menu-is-smaller-larger-than-other-menus-on

8. Type number of sides for polygon tool and star tool

   Currently to get a number of points on a star you have to type the [up key] or [down key] But often I know what number of points or sides I want on the polygon or star.

   I'd like the ability to type the number of sides/points.

   This could be achieved in a number of ways:
   - An option panel (could change it after the fact as long as it is selected as long as the points haven't been moved?)
   - hold and drag and type the number (say 3, 6, 9, etc)
   - double click on the polygon/star icon on the tools palette which brings up a dialog box Then you can type in things like number of stars and size similar to the Line segment tool. (Also extend this to the rectangle, etc tools?)

   I'm pretty sure implementation of this probably would be a bit tricky? The number trick for hold and drag for sides 1-9 probably wouldn't be as hard to implement, given that up and down keys are already cued to the number of sides.

   The rest of it has some architecture, but probably would take longer to implement.

   It's annoying to have to go "I need an octagon, but I just got 9 sides" and then go, "Oh, I need a pentagon...." and then spend a good few minutes trying to magically get the number of sides. And then going, "Oh ****, I'd like to get the octagon again and it would be easier to draw it out than find where my last octagon was..." and then sit there again hoping to get the perfect number of sides.

   I'm not saying "eliminate the up and down key" because sometimes people don't know how many sides they need, etc and want that randomness, but I want precision too and sometimes on a new document that's super annoying.

   BTW, Scripts don't particularly work on my computer. So please don't recommend scripts.

9. Trim View - Isolate to one artboard only

   I like the option of "Trim View" to temporarily hide artwork that outside of my artboard. But when I have overlapping artboards and I try to use trim view on one of them Illustrator combines the area of the overlapping artboards and trims everything outside of that "merged" artboard. This defeats the purpose of using trim view for me. I would like trim view to isolate the artboard I'm working on and only that artboard. It would also be nice if the black lines showing the other artboard extents would also disappear when entering trim view for a single artboard. The cherry on top would be the ability to control the opacity of the trim view, so that I could still faintly see the artwork outside the artboard.

   FYI - my artboards are overlapping because I'm using them on a large map file. The map covers a large area and there are multiple printed map products coming from it, each with their own artboard extent (so I can quickly save out pdfs based on artboard extents). My current method of isolating one artboard is to just create a large rectangle with a hole cut out that is the same shape as the artboard I'm working on. Trim view seems like an easier method of accomplishing the same thing, except that it doesn't seem to isolate artboards if they are overlapping.

   To illustrate:
   Screenshot #1 shows a map file with many different artboards. I added red rectangles to show where all the artboards are.

   Screenshot #2 shows the same file with trim view on (and the red rectangles turned off).

11. Don't reset view rotation when pressing Escape

    When you are in a rotated view, pressing Escape resets the rotation to zero degrees. This is frustrating when you're merely trying to exit Object Isolation or exit text editing.

    There does not seem to be a Keyboard Shortcut for this operation, which I would expect to see.

    I edit assignments, quizzes and exams, with musical scores in Illustrator, and add YouTube link symbols to them. For these links to work I have to open the PDF in Acrobat and insert the web links there. But if I later want to edit some text, object, or image and I open it in Illustrator, I lose all the links configuration.

13. Add a "move/copy art with artboard" switch to the artboard options, or the main prefs.

    Currently the only place the "move/copy art with artboard" switch exists is a button on the Control bar. I have never liked the Control bar and have hidden it since it was first added to Illustrator back in CS3.

    In my workflow, I almost never want to move/copy art with artboard, and for some reason this switch constantly turns itself back on, so it's extra annoying to have to either lock all my layers, or dig around this part of the interface I never use.

    If I hit return with the Artboard tool selected, I'll bring up the current artboard's options. And in these options there's also a "global' section that would be a perfect place to add this switch so it's quickly accessible in that moment when I perform my regular workflow of "switch to artboard tool, move an artboard, realize I didn't lock every single layer in my file beforehand, swear, undo, lock everything, make the artboard change I wanted, unlock the layers I was working on". A switch there would let me shorten thos to "switch to artboard tool, move an artboard, swear because stuff moved along with it, undo, hit return, turn off move/copy with artboard, stop worrying about this until Illustrator decides to flip this switch on its own again".

    Why 'More Settings' button is hidden in the New Document dialog window?

    More Settings dialog should be a default window when creating a new document instead of random template presets that nobody are using.

19. Mark starting points and directions for paths

    We know nothing about where a closed path starts and which direction it has.
    We can cheat it and apply an arrowhead or a brush to see that, but perhaps you just should mark the first points of paths with something else than a square? Like a triangle?
    Come on, look at Corel Draw, look at Affinity Designer!

20. Multilingual Spell check needed for multilingual package design.

    I am a package designer. Our company fully committed away from English only packaging to "3L," using English, French and Spanish. Sometimes, we do 8L for emerging markets. When we review our packaging, and before film release, we use Spell Check in our routine. However, it is cumbersome to find English misspellings, when Spell Check spends so much time identifying French and Spanish as misspelled English words. Plus, it would be nice to catch a misspelled French or Spanish word, just in case our translation service team made a mistake. We'd not know because we are not native speakers. With all the AI language models out there, and Adobe use of AI, is there not a smart way to make Spell Check more robust and help us less likely to make a spelling mistake? Currently, it kind of defeats the point of what Spell Check is intended to be. It is not currently helpful in that regard.
