  1. Warn about text elements in a document

    Greetings, team. I have a suggestion to enhance your fantastic design software. I frequently work with tiny text elements in my vector art designs for textile sublimation. The challenge lies in the sheer volume of items I create daily, each with various sizes and variations. Sometimes, I inadvertently include text within the art, only to notice it after printing. To address this, I propose the creation of a 'guide text' feature. This text could be visible during the design process but excluded from the final print. Alternatively, a warning could be implemented to alert users when text is present within…

  3. Dimensions layer should stay locked

    Since you decided to force the creation of a specialized Dimensions layer on us when a dimensions is created (and here is a feature request to make this optional: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48236954), we now have a problem with accidental creation of art directly in this dedicated layer, since every time a dimension is selected, this layer gets active and unlocked (reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/47570813)

    Since you probably don’t really care, and won’t solve both issues, perhaps you should keep this layer locked and not unlock until we choose to.
    Perhaps you should make the Dimension tool lock-agnostic then, and allow it…

  5. Variable Width point distribution advanced controls

    The standard distribution of the width points and number of width points needs a toggle to advanced controls where the width points can be locked to (or between specified) anchor points on the path.
    I hypothesize that this would fix the glitch where the movement, addition or subtraction of anchor points throws the width distribution out of wack.

    • Would also like to see more pronounced the location of all width points when the path is selected instead of fumbling along the path; perhaps secondary color to standard layer color.

    • Within the "Width Point Edit" dialogue, buttons to advance…

  6. Allow merging global and non-global colors

    Please make it possible to merge non-global swatches with global and vice versa. It would greatly help tidy up submissions for printing.

  8. Change how lock and hide work

    Сan you adjust how hiding layers vs locking layers works?

    Lock should prevent edits of any kind.

    Hide should allow edits if the master group or layer are adjusted.

    Example: Character Animator makes us hide Illustrator layers for various poses, mouths, etc. All the mouths are in a head group. If I move a head group with hidden layers, those layers don't move with the group. They should move. They should just not be seen while doing it because they are not locked.

    If hide works this way, can you explain the difference between lock and hide?

    I find this…

  9. 「テキストからベクター生成」にレイヤーオブションを加えてください

    背景と上に乗るキャラクター等をレイヤー分けできるような仕組みを追加してください。
    たとえば、

    「下のレイヤー:波の穏やかな白い砂浜のビーチ、上のレイヤー:じゃれ合う2匹の子犬」

    というようにプロンプトに記述したレイヤー構成に従って生成されるようになると格段に使い勝手が良くなると思います。

  10. Bleed 5 mm

    Buenas tardes, mi sugerencia es que por default al guardar un pdf el illustrator y el indesign, venga con 5 mm de sangrado en lugar de 0 (cero). Trabajo en preimpresión y el error mas común de los clientes es que envian los pdfs sin sangrado lo cual implica tener que volver a editar el archivo cuando se podria evitar si por default el bleed vendria activado en 5 mm

  11. Old Dogs New Tricks - "Stop modernizing mode" or "stop teaching new things mode"

    I've been using Illustrator since the 1990s and can use tools with my eyes closed and with keyboard commands like second nature. What trips me up every time I use it these days is it is constantly changing with little tweaks and updates! Insessant tool tips to teach me how to use the most basic of tool features!

    Can I please have a feature to
    1. Turn off tool tip prompts and teaching features
    2. Turn on 1990s mode or 2000s mode or 2010s mode makes the tools organize and perform as previous feature sets.

  13. Paint an Image Map for Defining Complexity in Image Trace Function

    Feature Request: Paint an Image Map for Defining Complexity in Image Trace Function
    Description:
    I would like to request a feature enhancement for Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace function. This enhancement involves the ability to paint an image map that defines the complexity of the vector result. This feature would allow users to have more control over the detail and precision of different areas within an image when using the Image Trace tool.

    Proposed Functionality:
    Image Map Tool:

    Introduce a new tool that allows users to paint directly onto the image, creating a map that indicates areas of different complexity.
    Users…

  14. Add an option to allow to snap to and by linked art, a similar one to Snap to Glyphs option

    Could it be possible to get some help to align to a graphic imported? Something like "Snap to Glyph"?
    It could help a lot to work precisely, without "embedding" the placed artwork...

    Dear Users,

    Introducing Selective Vectorization in Image Trace: Introducing the capability to selectively trace objects from a Raster Image. To use this capability:

    1. Select the selective vectorization tool from Image Trace Panel
    2. Hover over the Embedded Image, it will annotate the selected regions
    3. Use Up/Down arrow key to adjust the selected regions
    4. Clicking will select that part of image
    5. Use Shift key user can add to selection
    6. Use Option/Alt key to remove a selection
    7. Trace the Image

    Note: Selective Vectorization only works on embedded images.

    Known Issue: Annotation might appear incorrect when Image is scaled after place and embed.

    Is this technology useful in your workflow? 

    Please try it out in BETA and let us know your feedback.

  17. More precision options for Dimension Tool

    Please add: 0"-0 1/8" & 0"-0 1/16" to Unit precision. I really need 3/8", 5/8", 7/8"...

  20. Composite fonts with Chinese, Korean fonts

    Composite fonts (East Asian type option) only shows Japanese typefaces for CJK text elements. It would be nice to be also able to typeset CJK texts in Chinese/Korean typefaces to reflect regional differences in CJK character forms.
