1. Adding an mascot assistant

   As the Photoshop has a banana, we want mascot assistant, like the Microsoft clippy. It would work like this: when you are idle in the illustrator with new blank document it would pop up suggesting random design prompts like: "hey why won't you design the logo for the fish food' or "make a brand for the fruit vendor'

2. Allow assignable shortcut key for "Convert selected anchor points to smooth (and corner)" action

   Would like to assign a shortcut key for both "Convert selected anchor points to smooth" and "Convert selected anchor points to corner" actions, similar to pressing available button when an anchor is selected.

3. Workspace layout seems to constantly change over time. Keep it more fluent and natural

   I can arrange workspaces, rearrange them, add new ones, remove some and so on and on and on. My issue is that somehow, the tools and panels I want are never at hand when I need them.

   It's so subtle that I can't put my finger on the exact issue. But it's suddenly occurred to me that as far as I can remember, I'm always rearranging the workspace layout in Illustrator to get the tools I need, but I don't have this issue in other Adobe apps. I've been using Illustrator as my core graphic design tool for around 8/9 years.

   This has slowly been dawning on me. I think there's a lot of things going on here.

   • Issue: For Premiere Pro I can sync workspaces to my account. I presumed this is standard behaviour for all Adobe apps. However I have always used the same account and I have several times over the years set up custom workspaces in Illy. But I've just looked now and I can't see any - I don't know when they disappeared or why but it's happened.

   • Solution: synchronise workspaces to my Adobe account. Keep them there regardless of Illustrator version. Sync to all computers using my account.

   • Issue: Popups. In more recent years, I seem to get popups appear about once a week about something that I'm not at all interested in, usually some irrelvant new feature. I open Illustrator to work, not to play around with the latest features.

   • Solution: please get rid of these popups and tutorials unless I ask for them. The things I do in Illy, I know how to do. If I don't know a feature, I probably don't use it.

   • Issue: Sometimes the workspace opens on the same one as last time when I open Illustrator. Sometimes it doesn't. Not sure what the expected behaviour is here, but usually it seems to open on "Essentials". Every time, I switch to "Essentials Classic" and then add any other panels I need. Unless I have a custom workspace that hasn't disappeared yet.

   • Solution: every time I open Illustrator, switch to the last workspace I was using.

   • Issue: Over time as UI design changes, the workspaces change too. I get it, you add more features, you play around with the default workspaces. But please don't make it affect me.

   • Solution: Add more features if you like but don't push them out to my workspaces unless I want them. Ask me if I want to switch / update workspaces.

   • Issue: Workspaces always seem to be resetting and panels I add to my workspace disappear next time I open Illy.

   • Solution: Auto save changes to workspaces as they're made. Even default workspaces, just save the changes.

   That's just a few things that are obvious to me. But the whole workspace just seems to fluctuate often, and I just want to get the tools up that I use and keep them handy instead of rebuilding my workspace every time I open Illustrator.

   I can arrange workspaces, rearrange them, add new ones, remove some and so on and on and on. My issue is that somehow, the tools and panels I want are never at hand when I need them.

   It's so subtle that I can't put my finger on the exact issue.

4. Rotate artboard with all objects, when the orientation of artboard changes or directly on canvas

   It's possible to rotate the artboard, but the objects are still on their old positions.
   I found the is a button to bind artboard and objects for MOVING the artboard together. Why does that not work for rotation?

   In the mean time I have written a small JavaScript to solve this: https://www.behance.net/gallery/125369255/Javascript-for-Illustrator-RotateArtboard

   I hope, we can use a rotation of an artboard with it's objects soon in AI.
   – Jens.

5. Select similar colors (with a tolerance slider) so you can round up and streamline elements in a messy document

   This is basically a tolerance slider added to Select>Same>Fill Color. It would just allow you to cast a wider net to quickly select colors and convert them to a single global color. It's very hard to track down a color that's 1% off from the others in a complex file otherwise. It could also help process multi-color graphics into a limited color palette more efficiently

   AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The tools you are describing exist in Photoshop. There were never tools like these in Illustrator, you must be confusing these two apps together.

   However, I think Ai could benefit from having circular marquee and polygonal lasso, so please upvote this, if you want to see them developed.

7. Better implementation of Actions

   Do a better implementation of Actions. More like Photoshop.

   Some of the menu itens are not recorded in Actions, and others even with the Insert Menu item, still won't record the custom settings of it, and everytime you play that action, it will bring default values to it and open context menu to you to reenter parameters.
   This must be implemented correctly, direclty with the record and not that patch "Insert Menu Item" option that exist today.
   You should only hit record, do the menu options (even the Effects ones), and it must record it with all custom config you do, giving the option to edit the options on the action panel, but when you press play for that action, it should perform altomaticaly every step without interruptions (except when you choose it to).

   Please, make a proper full Action implementation in Illustrator.

8. Toggle Radii in Ellipse Properties

   When editing Ellipse Properties in the transform palette, it's be great to be able to turn off the radii segments in the ellipse, enabling a live shape which is an arc. At the moment you are limited to filled/joined sections.

9. Color Picker digits round up

   Hi, I like Illustrator for many reasons, but I find one little thing is annoying. So often I need to prepare the design files for my printer. And because the color picker doesn't have the feature of auto rounding up the digits, the color I used always has decimals, instead of a rounded up number in CMYK mode. It is not easy for the printer to process these color data. I have to round up each color manually, which is time-consuming and I might miss some elements. So is it possible to have the color picker have an option of rounding up digital for the color it picked up? And in the Appearance panel, the color digits are always not the same as the color picker panels show, which has the decimal digits.

10. Clipping path in JPEG image file works in placement

    A JPEG file can include clipping path. This clipping path works well when placed in InDesign. However, Illustrator ignores this clipping path.

    If clipping path in JPEG works in placement, the user will be more creative.

12. Exporting files - range settings resetting for different file types

    Is it possible for the page 'range' to reset when exporting different file types? It's really frustrating when I've been exporting a few single pages to jpeg for example, and then when exporting a PDF of the document it retains the page range. It's a small issue, but is pretty annoying!

    例えば「水平方向左に分布」では各オブジェクト左位置を基準とした整列が望ましいと思います。

14. Scissors tool should be aware of stroke width profiles and brush tool data.

    At present, if you use the Scissors tool on a path with a width profile, the resulting paths will both inherit the entire width profile. This always feels wrong; I would much prefer that the resulting paths had new width profiles that match the original look of the path.

15. Manipulating Guides

    If two guides are selected, the "Distance" option can be selected by right-clicking. In an extra window, the first or second selected guideline is set as the origin, as well as the axis on which the distance is to be manipulated and the value to be manipulated. It would also be useful if you could mirror guides along other guides by simply right-clicking.

17. Add and option to contain grid within / outside artboards

    Allow the GRID to only be on the canvas, allowing the outer space to be used at the same time for element while building a projects. ALSO allow a slider to dim down the lines and a line width slider for the lines. This way its fully customizable for the user.

19. Recolor Artwork: Click the Artwork to Select color to recolor

    It is often hard to pick the right color to edit from the Recoror Artwork UI. This especially when Editing colors that are close to each other.

    It would be nice if we could click ( or ctrl/shift/alt+click) the artwork and select which color we want to edit in Recolor Artwork utility.

20. Drag-and-Drop Swatches to Artboard

    This functionality wouldn't change the swatches palette it, but would allow users to drag a swatch to the artboard and drop it. You could tile several to create a tonal family or brand color set.

    Being able to scale them larger, arrange them, reformat the grid, turn the white gap off in between colors would improve color adjustment and comparing hues side by side. They'd function like the existing swatches panel in that you could have a shape or stroke selected and apply the color by clicking the swatch on the artboard.

    This would help in color exploration and creating effective color themes. Save common color usage in your workspace set up, export out as a group, share via Libraries, copy and paste artboard swatches to another file etc.
