1. Make a way for Scale Artwork with Artboard mode to NOT scale strokes and effects

   It’s good to finally have Scale Artwork with Artboard option (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31500847), but I really wish for it to respect Scale Strokes & Effects option.
   For now Scale Artwork with Artboard behaves as if it’s always enabled... I realize scaling strokes is natural for this mode, but the current way means if we need to scale an artboard, but NOT scale the strokes — we can’t do that.
   It almost feels like it should be a separate option specifically for it.

2. Export selected artboards using "Exports for Screens" with editing capabilities preserved

   Can you provide a checkbox in Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting the selected artboard from a file with multiple artboards, while preserving editing capabilities? This would ensure that fonts and images are not missing, and that the file size remains small due to only the selected artboard being included.

   I work for a Hindi newspaper, and the fonts I use in the file are not available everywhere. As a result, the fonts get missing on certain systems if the file is exported as a PDF without 'Preserve Editing Capabilities' enabled, which affects the quality of the product. Additionally, if the file size is small, it will be easier to export, and Adobe Illustrator will function more efficiently.

3. The option to define visibility of layers and objects by artboard.

   The option to define visibility of layers and objects by artboard.
   This way, one could set multiple artboards of the same content with different sets of layers or objects visible in each.
   I often have to hide/show some layers before export (for instance when I do the same complex artwork in multiple languages). Of course the default would be the current behavior.

4. There should be a dedicated Object > Dimension menu, with all the commands Properties panel has

   With the Dimension tool and dimension objects we got several important commands that deal around not having presets for these: Apply to All and Set as Default.

   These commands are available only as buttons, and are not accessible from anywhere else, including Control panel (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010126) and top menu.

   In case Properties doesn’t work (as it doesn’t for me) and another case a user just doesn’t like the panel (since it’s still very raw and buggy), we can’t get to these in any other way, and can’t assign a hotkey (since Ai just doesn’t allow to hotkey all the things we can call or press (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31609237).

   Please put these into a menu!

6. Preference for keyboard increments in NUMERICAL value boxes

   I love being able to use the up/down keys to change the values of the numerical values in panels and dialog boxes such as OFFSET PATH.

   The problem is that the incremental jumps are to far (1/8 of an inch when set to inches). We can use modifier keys to increase or decrease this jump, BUT it is still big jumps.

   I can find no other way to adjust this other than moving to Points or pixels for the measuring through right clicking the ruler, even though I am working in inches. This moves the increment to those base values: in Point, the keyboard increment jump is 1 point and the Command modifier drops it to .1 increments.

   I would love a way to adjust this. for example in inches, I would love to set the numerical incremental jump to 1/64 and still use the modifiers when using the up and down arrow keys.

7. An option to convert a line into a dimension line

   Sometimes it’s so much easier to draw a line, using a familiar click-drag-release method, instead of click-click-click method Dimension Tool uses to Manual Dimensions!

   I really with to be able to covert a viable line (an open straight line with no handles and two points only, being it a live shape or not) into a dimension, with zero offset and no extension lines.

   It IS possible to do today, but using some shenanigans I show in a GIF attached. The way extensions can’t be set to zero is a problem though, and should be reported separately.

   Some plugins and scripts allow this exact function, I don’t see why Ai can’t have it.

8. Show Appearance as a popup instead of a panel when clicking More button in Properties

   Selecting the ellipsis button in the Properties panel for the different sections opens a simple popup panel for further actions and self-closes.

   However, the Appearance section will pop out completely into it's own panel?
   This is annoying as I have to close the Appearance panel each time.

   This should be consistent like the others.

9. Disable all "Generative AI" marketing popups

   Whenever I use Illustrator lately, I'll be in the middle of editing a document when this annoying feature popup appears. Literally right in the middle of me trying to get work done.

   Please give me a way to disable this altogether. I have no interest in this feature. Please stop pushing it to me.

   Two related requests:

   1. An ability to disable Text to Vector Graphic feature and any other generative options — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47462738

   2. Remove Text to Vector from Properties panel — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47638688

   Please upvote them, if you agree.

10. Allow to convert a live blend into Objects on Path

    Blends are cool to when you need to create intermediate objects or colors, but these sucks when you need to create a uniform distribution — Ai stupidly uses’ the spine’s curvature to control both the spine’s curvature AND the distribution (requested to get improved here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32403880)

    But now we have Objects on Path, which can’t provide any other distribution except uniform one (yet, we hope).
    But, as usual, two similar functions remain completely separated and non-ingedrated (we saw this before with Repeat Grid and pattern, and there is a request to allow conversion of one into another here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45233863 — along with 'why can’t we add these as swatches, here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41686228)

    So it’s a similar one — allow to convert a live blend directly into Objects on Path. This would allow to solve the uniformity / acceleration for blends first, but then it’s just a question of cutting a corner between these two VERY similar tools.

11. Support SVG text-anchor attribute (export and import)

    For correct positioning of dynamic right-aligned or center-aligned text, we need the position of the anchor point.
    But Illustrator does not export it.
    Our ask is that the anchor point is exported to SVG using the text-anchor attribute.

12. Separate "Ask when opening" settings for color mismatches

    We have a large team that's constantly opening previous projects. The print team is separate from the video team.

    For the video team, the CMYK profile is sort of irrelevant, but the RGB isn't.

    Is there a way to have Illustrator tell about only RGB color mismatches when opening the file, and just preserve CMYK?

    Basically, I'd like to have the result of "Ask when opening" different for CMYK and RGB.

    That way the team can keep a policy of preserving CMYK without getting a popup every time, but act only RGB profile mismatches.

14. I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature

    I would like to ask for a reminder or alarm feature, which can be in the settings and the user can set it up (somewhat personalized)
    Example:
    - I need a reminder to hit save every 5 minutes.
    - I would like to set a reminder for a mistake I usually do half way through my design. (so maybe a reminder to double check the artwork process)

15. When dropping an object filled with a pattern into Swatches panel, open New Swatch dialog to add the pattern as a new swatch

    If we drag-n-drop any artwork into Swatches, a new pattern swatch gets created based on this artwork.
    But if we drag-n-drop an singular object with an existing pattern applied to it — nothing happens, as if Ai tries to create a nested pattern and refuses to do so. I think it’s quite obvious what a user intends to do in this case... but we get no warning.

    When we use Pattern Options panel/mode, and fill an object within a pattern with another pattern, and try to save, Ai throws us a message (rather vague — Ai knows for sure what restricted element we have, but won’t tell us specifically).
    Why not throw the same one (but better, with clear 'no nested patterns!')?

16. Allow to change transparency/opacity with digit (number) keys, as in Photoshop

    Photoshop allows us to start typing numbers and thus change the opacity for the selected layers. If we are fast enough, we can type something like '57' and Ps takes it as 57%. Pressing zero makes it 100%.

    There is no way to disable this in Ps... and it doesn’t allow to use digits keys for any other command or a tool.

    Ai allows to map digits just fine (and 1 and 2 are used for Quick Pen Tool currently), and it also allows to map keys to opacity values in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools — although these are not as precise, and only allowed by settings tens: 10%, 20, 30...

    I assigned several I personally need, like the screenshot attached shows, but perhaps someone needs to have it exactly like Ps does it? Please comment why the approach above is not enough for you.

17. Holding Control key and clicking on a New Layer icon should create a new layer below, as in Photoshop

    Originally mentioned by Mohammed Amjed Khan Abro here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41107321

    Layers Panel.
    Holding or pressing the Control key and clicking on a new layer icon in Photoshop to creates a new layer below all the layers if no layer is selected, if a layer is selected then you do the same action will create a new layer below the selected layer which really makes sense.
    The same thing would be very comfortable in Illustrator if that feature would be added in the Layers and Appearance Panel.

20. 白色底的文档导出缺少边界 / A way to export an image with canvas color visible when Use Artboard option is disabled

    当画板为白色底时，右键“导出所选项目”，导出的文件没有边界，无法分辨单个项目。
    目前的解决方法是在画板上添加一个有描边的矩形，但是当有多个画板时这个方法会比较麻烦。另外一种方法是每个画板单独导出一张图片，再整合到一个文档里，这样也会增加很多工作量。希望团队能有更好的方案。
    使用场景举例：当给客户提案或预览整体效果时，需要将多个画板同时导出到一个文件（png或jpg），这时如果画板底色为白色，就无法分辨边界。
