Add pattern filled object to swatch box to create a new pattern
This is very essential for the fashion industry.
As of now, it's not possible to create a seamless pattern with a pattern filled object and add it as a swatch.
We either have to expand the filled object or rasterize the pattern filled object to able to add to the swatch box. It's hindering because we can't recolor easily.
This option should be added.6 votes -

階層が複雑なデータを作っているときに「ポイントにスナップ」では自分の意図していない部分にスナップすることがあります。

Fix annoying save bug after adjusting UI preferences
I just encountered an annoying save bug that caused me to lose 90 minutes of work in Illustrator. Here is the sequence of events:
• I opened an existing document in AI, with the intention of changing it and saving as something else.
• I opened preferences and made a minor UI adjustment (tweaked the size of my tool bar).
• Dialog #1 stated that changes will not occur until you restart AI. Would you like to restart? Yes/No.
• I selected YES (without thinking), under the assumption that I would be given the option to 'save as.'
• Dialog #2…

Allow Illustrator Cloud Documents to be Placed in Other Adobe Applications
Since the new updates with the cloud have been happening, Illustrator pushes you to save into the cloud and buy storage for said cloud... The only issue is the clouds documents only work with Illustrator.
It would be nice to link/place these cloud files into an InDesign document/project or Photoshop etc. Especially with workflows using IPads. The way the cloud is right now almost makes the cloud pointless for many professional users.
Workflow is essential, so if you update something and try pushing it, at least make it work across all areas, not just one. I understand this is still…

Cut-off of Effects like Drop Shadow etc
Working with Flexo plates, we need to cut-off vignettes at 3%, it would be great to have an 'Advanced' section on effects like Drop Shadow to cut off at a stated percentage. Currently have to work around by Expanding the effect, exporting an the image for Photoshop, using the Curves to cut-off of 3%, then relinking the image in Illustrator which also means having multiple files...

LTR Digits for Middle East Settings
In Arabic text, letters are RTL, but digits are LTR. There's no way to use multiple character styles within one paragraph, you can only set the text direction to the entire paragraph. To make the attached, I had to set the language of the digits to English and type the number in backwards (e.g. for 300g, I have typed it in as 003 for it to show like that, which requires a lot of concentration!!)

ダイレクト選択ツールについて
ダイレクト選択ツールでオブジェクトの上からアンカーポイント以外からドラッグでアンカーポイントを選択したいのですが、オブジェクトが移動してしまうので使いにくいです。移動しないようにしていただきたいです
1 voteThere are two ways to do that.
1. View > Outline mode
2. Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display: Object Selection by Path Only
Both of these will allow you to select anchors without accidentally moving an object -
Content Credentials (Beta) arriving for Illustrator ... and general concerns about Content Provenance / Attribution
As Adobe are a leading player in the CAI initiative, are they rolling out 'Content Credentials' functionality to the other creation tools in the suite?
Also - related to this - why do admin staff on here ask people to upload .AI files as bug fix evidence without conversations about risks of jeopardising Provenance and Attribution?1 vote -
Get position of center point of a pathItem, group and so on
Unfortunately there is no command in Javascript for Illustrator that allows you to read the position (x,y) of the centre of an object. This would be very helpful for many operations such as rotation and movement via Javascript.
For polygons that have their own centre point, like the triangle (3 sided polygon) this would have to be considered.Suggestion:
var vCenterpoint = getCenterpoint(vPathItem); // x,y values2 votes -
Artboards workflow could do with some streamlining.
So artboards in AI have been around for a while now, but the current workflow is pretty limited and at times frustrating.
There are 2 really big things that could do with improvement.
1 - The biggest issue I have is that there is no keyboard shortcuts to make a new artboard.
Why do I have to move my mouse over to the artboard panel and click the add artboard button.
This is way to long winded every time you want to add a new artbaord.
2 - When adding a new artboard it does not conform to the column…

Please Address Ongoing Bugs in Font Activation
Despite recently getting a fix, there is still a problem involving fonts deactivating, and Illustrator listing those same fonts as active.
I'm still constantly going to the website to deactivate and reactivate fonts, and it's annoying.
Just this afternoon I had this problem with Lato, HWZ Artz, and Wigwag. However I've seen this problem with many others before.
Can't we just store these things locally and keep them there??1 vote -
artwork over canvas isolation toggle
Toggle function that changes the view between showing all artwork in a drawing, and only showing everything that is actually over the canvas. basically, a quick and easy toggle to see what an exported pdf would look like. Exactly like the toggle built into InDesign (toggled by "w").
3 votesThis can be done with View > Trim View command.
You can assign any hotkey you want to it.
There is also a Presentation mode, but it does a slightly different thing.

Add the "are you sure" when clicking "no" to "Save changes to document before closing" on an unsaved document
My fingers are so fast that I will quickly click no on the saving option and I didn't mean to. Can you add an additional button after clicking "no". For example "are you sure you want to lose the work that is posted here" that way we have the 10 seconds to remember that we actually wanted to save this document instead of accidentally deleting it. It doesn't happen all the time but it usually happens on documents I have been working on for hours. I've lost so much work because my hands work faster than my brain.

saveascopy command in Illusrator script
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.
I work in print and that is the thing illustrator lack for me, one script command... saveCopyAs.
Why does it matters? because i have tons of print layouts with ton of PDF's to link on aforementioned plates, and i need to sometime go for 3 different export…3 votes -
pointer
I am told I am the only one ever to have this problem in adobe illustrator. But the tool " pointer " is sticking, I am unable to use it. The hand grab tool is on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I can't do projects or lessons unless it is fixed. It is important to me because I am in class to learn Illustrator and I cannot go any further unless it works. I have called adobe with no answer or person to talk to. I have spoken with my teachers and they told me to do this and…

Resize all artboards independently and by percentage with preview
Resize all artboards and all artwork on boards at the same time by a percentage (currently feature is artboard only and by pixels only, unless I am missing some checkboxes somewhere?) -- each artboard would be independent. Like the same shape feature when selecting artwork and choosing Transform > Transform Each -- but for artboards. Would love a preview before committing!
4 votesIllustrator today allows entering new values using percent, in Control and Properties panels, in Artboard Options dialog. With Scale Artwork with Artboard option enabled this would also scale the content.
As for the Preview — it just happens when applied... and the Artboard Options dialog doesn’t have the Preview checkmark. Do you still need it? Please comment back.

Create a Collapse All Layers button (with an assignable hotkey)
Currently you can collapse (or expand) all sub containers by Alt key clicking on the little arrowheads on the left-hand side of the top level container items. It would be great if we had a button we could click that collapses (or expands) everything.
Bonus points if this could be called by an action or script!
