An option to select only points in paths with a hotkey, lines are ignored
In a sea of lines and points an option to select only points could be a solution for more speedy and accurately selecting what you want.
Let's say I have a lot of lines next to some points you want to select, wouldn't it be cool to hold a hotkey and dragging across the screen even over the lines and just selecting the points you wanted, not the lines?
Selecting only lines, not the points could also have benefits, although I havent had the need yet.

Give aligning options for Text on Path tool.
When using the Text on Path tool, it would be nice to have alignment/distribution options.
Aligning the first and last letter, center at top or bottom, and fit text around a shape.
They way it is now, you have to drop guides and align and distribute the text so that it is even.
It would be wonderful also to use the dropper tool to apply the alignment to new text. For instance, if I have an emblem and need to wrap several different texts around it, then once I have one the way I like I could easily apply that…2 votes -
Layers and rotate to original gesture in touch mode
Layers would speed up to workflow when you don't have to switch workspaces so often.
Tap or rotate gesture for rotate to original view would also speed up the workflow.

Restoring the CAD tree-view when importing DXF files.
Before version 25.1, when importing DXF files created with a CAD software (Solid Edge), each part of an assembly was recognized by Illustrator (1 part = 1 layer).
This is not the case anymore since version 25.1. The last version in which it works is version 25.0.13 votes -

Diacritic Positioning
To add Diacritic Positioning Rules preset options (similar to InDesign) in the Middle Eastern features.
It'd be handy when dealing with Arabic fonts that have their diacritics off, especially when dealing with paragraphs, instead of doing it manually.

There are users among the users who use the services of SaaS companies, I would like to ask why you chose them, what was the web design of the site, so I also think about how to design the site correctly?

Could the Width Tool scale Pattern Brush tiles proportionately instead of squeezing them down distortingly?
Greetings!
I'm not sure, if this feature is already there (would be grateful for a response if it already is!). I googled, didn't find anything. It's also too many keywords...
So. The width tool can varyingly alter the width of a stroke to which a pattern brush is applied to. What I have been struggling with, is that, the width tool only squeezes the pattern tiles perpendicular to the spine of the stroke, and thus distorting the proportions and original composition of the pattern tile itself.
Is there a way to perhaps, distort the tiles in a manner that they…

Different Customizable Shape Gradient Constraints
Much like the flexibility of the radial gradient feature, it would be incredibly helpful to have a similar tool to make gradients, but one that does not constrain you to a circle or ellipse. Yes, AI provides the freeform gradient tool and the gradient mesh tool, but these are often a little finicky and time consuming to use. One can also use the blend tool to attempt a freeform gradient. All of these are far too complicated for creating such simple gradients. I propose that a customizable shape gradient tool is implemented. Like the other gradient tools, one would create…

Make the shear tool work as it does in InDesign
InDesign shearing is superior because you can see where an item's angle is and change it at any time. The best part, however, is that you can extend the sides or resize the sheared shape and it retains the correct angle, allowing you to reuse assets much more easily.

Please, pretty pleas with sugar on top add SaveAsCopy function to illustrator script. All i need to be happy is to bind a script that allows me to save a copy of specific AI art board(s) as PDF with presets. it is impossible to save copy of document without closing current AI file.

Please make TABS easier to use.
Please make TABS easier to use. It's so fiddly trying to get the bottom arrow to pull across for indented bullet list alignment.

Make an optional Shapes dialogue that works like Figma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGBIc6oJCos
I am in love with these features and could see having an "Advanced Option" set to turn on features like this for quick non-destructive design output.
Thank you! :)

Vector Networks Like Figma Has
In illustrator vector shapes can only go in one continuous path. If you wanted to draw a cube, it would take 3 shapes, perfectly aligned and 12 points, 6 of which would overlap.
In a vector network a point can have multiple branches meaning that a cube could be one shape, with only 7 points (see image).
This feature would eliminate the need for complex shape overlays to create simple compositions, like a cube.8 votes -

Export with Grid
I tried to search for how to export a document with the grid visible and found some results in Google, but couldn't apply any of them. Over an hour chatting with a Help Agent, I was told it can't be done. Why wouldn't there be an option to export/print with the grid on?
I've been learning how to do Floor Plans using Illustrator (since I already have Creative Cloud) and got reprimanded for handing in an assignment without a grid...imagine my frustration that it's not even an option AND that it took over an HOUR of chatting with someone to…12 votes -
Automatic Saves and Back Ups
Softwares like Ableton, particularly Ableton, provide an automatic save feature, multiple back ups, as well as allow you to restore your work if your software crashes. Additionally, you can "Collect All and Save" and the program collects all the project files and organizes them within the project folder where you will never lose them as long as you have the folder and no longer have the issue of missing files. I believe that this system should be adopted by Adobe as this would save countless hours and lost progress for its users. Thank you.
