  1. Import SVG fails to load images correctly when linked via a use tag with the source provided in the defs

    The import SVG feature does not correctly load images when using a use tag that links to an image in the defs list.

    The issues with the import are the following:
    1. The image is incorrectly placed in the clipping group, despite one not being present in the svg.
    2. Two strange clipping path triangles are incorrectly added to the clipping group that completely hides the images.
    3. The art board is also incorrect and not placed around the design.

    I created a small svg example that has an image that is linked twice within the design.
    <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"…

  3. It would be very useful if we could get text format from above the picture

    It would be very useful if we could get text format from above the picture, same like you can easly see this option by google search by image.

  4. Auto-fill file name in search bar when re-linking / replacing missing links

    The process of replacing missing links could be less tedious if Illustrator would auto-fill the name of the file in the search bar of the file browser. For me, it is often easier to perform a search for the file name rather than navigating through multiple depths of folders. An option to auto-fill the file name rather than manually typing it would make this regular task much smoother.

    I regularly collaborate with other designers and am constantly re-linking files when someone else has created or edited the design file or when projects are re-organized. So the task of replacing missing…

  5. Search / Filter option in Find/Replace Font dialog

    Here is my problem. On InDesign when you do "Find/Replace font" you can select the missing font and then you can SEARCH and then replace the font. In Illustrator, the same method exists. BUT you cannot SEARCH... Why? Did I miss something?? Do I really have to scroll through the 4000 fonts to get to the one I want?
    Could we have the same panel on Illustrator as in InDesign?

  6. too hard to change text size

    it's too hard to change text size in the small boxes in the character window. Hard to select all the content. Hard to select the number part only. And both of these are the only way to make it work. Please just change behavior so that clicking in the box selects all the content.

  7. Merge Swatches Shortcut Key

    Can we get a shortcut key or be able to create a keyboard shortcut for Merge Swatches in the Swatches Panel?

  9. Collapse panels menu item/keyboard shortcut

    The ability to set a keyboard shortcut to collapse all panels would be really helpful and slick. I find myself leaving them open for expedience only to find the open panel is in the way, visually, later on. For those who set up their workspace differently they can just ignore it or disable the keyboard shortcut.

  10. Share for Review link name

    I can see that name of my link, when preparing to share to client, but then I copy the link, ant it's name is really not with that name, that my document is, or I written in link name field. The link appears ugly and long.

    It would be better to send the link to client with short name, that don't look like unsecured link

  11. Searching brushes and other tools by their name in their tab would be great

    I am saving all my brushes and patterns into my Print.ai file (am I supposed to do that?) and now it grew up to 100 MB.
    With that many brushes, many of them also similar, a search brush by name feature perhaps would be helpful.

  12. Better Action Set Organization in Illustrator

    We have a lot of Actions but only a few are needed at a time based on the workflow you're currently in. It would be great to have the "for the moment" unutilized actions hidden when in button mode. Action Sets functioning like Libraries while in Button Mode without having to delete and then reload is not a good way of going about this.

  13. Disable smart guides to some specific object/layer

    Hi there,

    After using Illustrator for quite some time, I found there has one function I need the most.
    Which is to disable smart guides to some specific object/layer.

    Smart guides are amazing but I found that they won't work well if I had a crazy vector texture background.
    When I try to align to the main object I am working on, it will just try to align to background vector textures. Which is not ideal.

    So I have been thinking, could there have a feature, that disables smart guides to some specific object/layer, like we can lock anything that…

  15. フォント選択、フォントリストの「そのフォントの場所」からスタートしてほしい

    フォントを選んでいるとき、常にリストの最初に戻るのをやめてほしいです。
    「新ゴM」を選んでいたら「新ゴM」から始まってほしいです(以前のverのように)。
    いろんなフォントを選んでいるときに毎回戻ってしまって、とても非効率です。
    ぜひ改善してください。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

    リクエストの投稿をありがとうございます。

    ご存知の機能かとは思いますが、現在のバージョンでは、「フォントの整理とフィルター」という機能が備わっています。

    こちらをお使いいただくことで、幾分快適にご利用いただけるのではないかと思います。

  16. Control panel like that of Indesign

    I've always liked Indesign, especially its control panel top bar.

    I was wondering but is it not possible to have a control bar in Illustrator like the one in Indesign?
    - bigger
    - With More controls
    - Dynamics
    - By inserting quick links to many features that Illustrator makes available to us but every time you have to go and get them from the menus / submenus and you never remember where to go.
    guy:
    - object / path / path path
    - object / path / offset
    - object / path / add points
    - object / weave
    -…

  17. How do we add copy and paste to the right click menu?

    How do we add copy and paste to the right click menu?

    In almost all Adobe products copy and paste are in the right click menu but I can't find a way to turn them on in Illustrator. How do I get them to show up or even request an update to the program if they aren't in the program for some strange reason. Why would they be left out? Can we also use scripting to add other useful commands to the menu to save time while we work?

  18. Create a ISE file system for Gradient management (ASE for AI only)

    create the possibility to export gradients as lib !

    I understand why ASE does not work with gradients (while it could be the case if ASE would accept more than one value per swatch but whatever..)

    I'd be nice to create ISE fileformat for example (ASE for AI only) to be able to have an actual gradient lib file.

    bluegradients.ISE
    Redgradients.ISE
    Etc

    The state of gradient management feels very much not polished from the adobe side of things, so please, work on that ...

    and have a look at Astute gradient forge
    If you actually care about Fixing your BASE…

  19. Font unit change Adobe Illustrator

    Unfortunately, you have to laboriously change the font unit from e.g. pt to mm and vice versa in the presets.
    A switch in the character panel would be desirable.
    You can also change the letter height there. Here, however, the mm specification is required in most cases.
    However, we use this function to quickly check the font height in mm.
    We would welcome a feature expansion.

  20. New layer ordering

    Would LOVE a "preference" option to choose whether your new layers/artboards appear above the existing layers/artboards or below them.
