Allow to group a single Intertwine object
A way to workaround the bug with the self-expanding Intertwines on effect application (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45845533) would be to group them and apply an effect to this 'protection container'...
But alas, Ai won’t allow that, and grouping an Intertwine object does nothing.
I suspect Illustrator treats it as a group, onle a 'magic' one, and normal group restrictions, such as 'Thou shalt not group a single group' are applied to it.Why then we can’t ungroup an Intertwine... anyway, this one should not be applied, even if you fix the self-expanding.

A rectangular marquee in Intertwine edit mode can’t be repositioned with Spacebar held
When I draw a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. This would make defining zones in Intertwine Edit mode so much easier, but no, this is not possible — yet, I hope.
Also this is not possible when a new artboard is created which is also a miss: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45845635-hold-space-to-reposition-an-artboard-while-creatin

Hold Space to reposition an artboard while creating it
When I create a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. For some reason this is not possible when I create new artboards, which are also rectangles in a way.
Also this is not possible when I try to reposition a rectangular zone in Intertwine Edit mode, which I hope will be fixed soon too: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45845641-a-rectangular-marquee-in-intertwine-edit-mode-can

Lasso tool in Intertwine is not the actual Lasso tool and needs a separate cursor
This implies a user can use other tools to draw an intertwine zone, but switching tools just leads to ending the editing mode — which also does not get telegraphed well enough, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45845602-make-intertwine-edit-mode-telegraphed-better.
While the action this pseudo-tool performs is more or less the same, the difference is murky. Either change the cursor or make the mode more clear.

A group can’t be turned into an Intertwine object
I suspect it’s because the team is going to improve Intertwines and make then operate on groups as elements, instead of single paths, but this does not mean a single selected group should be affected and block us from converting it to an intertwined art.
Live Paint allows to convert a group, no problem with that.

これは非常にユニークなアイデアです♪
こんにちは。Adobe Illustratorの拡張子は「.ai」です。
何とも愉快な拡張子じゃあないですか！！「.ai」？？＝AI＝ai（人工知能？？）のごとく、
御社のAI機能の最先端をゆくアプリケーションに、
大改革をしてみては如何でしょうか！？「著作権保護機能が完璧に達成された画像生成AI」アプリケーションでも
良いですし、Adobe社の全てのアプリケーションが含まれるような、イーロン・マスク氏のような X アプリケーションのような考え方です。
.aiの拡張子は、この先誰にも奪われませんし、世の中のクリエイターで、
知らない人は殆どいないかと存じます。Adobe IllustratorとMacがなければ、私は今ここで、こういった発言を
していなかった未来だと思いまして、突然頭の中で閃いた、ユニークなアイデアだけれども、お笑い的に言うと、
そのまんまなんですが、何かしら、そういうすんごいアプリケーションに
大改造したって、悪くないです。いや、むしろ、.aiこそが、人工知能の王者として相応しい！と
後世の人に夢と希望あふれるようなスーパーアプリケーションに
してもらいたいですねぇ。Adobe社の英知が結集した、スーパーアプリケーション、「Adobe AI」
で、拡張子が,「.ai」でも文句なしです。画像生成AIの登場にて、この先、クリエイターのお仕事が、
法律規制でも強化しない限りは難しいので、
何かしらのそういった、未来志向への転換をそろそろ考えても悪くはない時代だと思いました。是非とも何かの参考にどうぞ。

LCH Gradients
Add support for gradient interpolation spaces other than sRGB, such as LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue). When creating a gradient between non-analogous colors, the LCH color space preserves saturation throughout the gradient, whereas Illustrator's gradients have a muddy center.
32 votesPerceptual gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.
Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.
Read more about it in this help article.
As stated there, important notes are:
- You won’t be able to expand a perceptual gradient into a gradient mesh
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support this interpolation method — PDF format know nothing about it as a concept, it’s something only Ai does. The same reason prevents these to be exported as live gradient into PDF or SVG formats.
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, as reported here.
Please test it and comment back — this will help to improve this further.

Let Artboard/Fit to Selected Art work for Selected Guides too
When working on patterns, I often create a rectangle converted to a guide for the tile size.
Unfortunately Fit to Selected Art does not recognise a guide to fit to.
So I need to first release the Guide, then apply Fit to Selected art, and then make the Guide again.2 votes -
Opacity mask detection and text inside
Sometimes we need to convert all text in the document to shapes (Create Outline) to be in the save side in print process.
When we have opacity masks that have text inside the mask layer, we can't edit it until we find the mask. Sometime, we receive documents that we didn't make ourselves and it will be not be easy to find all masks.
The suggestion is to:
- Have a command to find out all opacity masks.
- Have a command to select text in the whole document even inside the masks.6 votes -
The default color space should be RGB.
It is 2023, with the changes in printing technologies, Ai should have RGB as the default color space. I know that there are long time users who probably live in cmyk, but aren't best practices to work in RGB and then convert to cmyk for the particular job?

Rename linked file
If I want to rename a file which is linked to a file (for whatever reason), I have to perform a humiliating process: find a link in Explorer, rename it, return to Ai, wait until it finds out the file is missing, search for the file in a dialog.
When this would be so much faster just to right-click the file (on canvas or in Links panel) and do 'Rename linked file'.
And please consider the other similar request about renaming an embedded image:

Share for Review extra functions
Hi,
I'm really thankful for this review function but there are a couple of things I would like to see in the future. Hopefully, some are already in progress!
Ability to select which artboards to share
Show the size of the artboard (I prepare 6 artboards at a go, clients do not know what size are they looking at)
Have a pretty URL that does not look like... https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:46b3c72e-e17c-42b7-2da9-08fc21a30b91
A caption area for each artboard so that I can put down some notes directly on the Illustrator app.
Thank you!

Scale arrowheads to stroke weight
So, my great idea request is to have the arrowheads scale but maintain their stroke width. It seems the arrow heads are not stroked paths, so maybe this is not possible? But it being 2023, I would like to think it is possible.
Without too much ranting, it's amazing that you would want to scale arrow heads to be a different width to the stroke. It's so uglehy.
Screenshots attached showing how I see this amazing update would work and saving me time of having to make my own hacked arrow heads to do the job of this expensive software.

"Notes" text field on the "Swatch Options" dialogue
It would be a huge help to have a "notes" text field on the "Swatch Options" dialogue so we could include notes and other meta data about a given swatch to convey to other designers or collaborators.

Export revisions only
When making minor updates to an existing presentation or pdf, option to "Export Revisions Only" to an existing file name or pdf - similar to Adobe Acrobat's new feature to detect changes between similar documents, this feature allows you export/update only the pages with revisions into an existing .pdf file. This saves a lot of export time when a client asks for several small revisions to a 10-20+ page presentation or document.

Save the Export Path to with Export for Screens Presets
Please, SAVE the "Export To:" path with the Export Preset.
I don't want to set my Export Path in Export for Screen every f*ing time I restart Illustrator.
I was hoping that Export Presets would have fixed this annoyance, but it didn't help at all.
It amazes me how impossible it seems for Adobe to get these simple things work like they should.

Option to assign chosen profile selection to all open documents in Missing Profile box
When opening a project, I frequently have to choose either not to colour manage or I have to assign a particular profile to the document due to working with a number of different print houses. As I can sometimes open 10-20 documents at a time to edit them, would it be possible to assign the designated choice to all open documents at the same time, i.e., have a selection box you can tick to 'Apply selected profile option to all open projects'?
Currently it is really laborious choosing the profile for each individual file as it opens.

3Dオブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した書き出し
3dモデルを書き出す際、オブジェクトの座標や回転を維持した状態で書き出せるようにして欲しい。
座標や回転を維持して書き出せれば、3dを使ったモーションポスターなどの制作などにとても役立ちます。3 votes -
Panels invading workspace
At present, by default, this is how small the Layer and Artboard panels' sizes can be minimized to. They take up a lot of valuable screen room on my Mac. I still want to see these but don't want to dock them into the side as that takes up a lot more room. Currently it's too invasive to my workspace, even so when I am using more layers and artboards.
I would suggest making it possible to make these panels even smaller so I can have extra space to be able to see more of my work and space that…
