    가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요

    일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

    인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

  2. Fix the problem to allow me to create a new canvas and use the app.

    I can’t create a new file since I subscribed, it is absolutely wasting my trial… very bad experience.

  4. 透明分割を分割統合すると、レイヤーの位置が変わる

    あるレイヤーを、添付画像の設定で「透明分割を分割統合」すると、レイヤーウインドウの中のレイヤーの位置が、一番上に来てしまうエラーがあります。
    いちいちレイヤーを元の位置に戻さなくてはならないのが面倒くさいです。
    修正お願いいたします。

  5. A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts

    A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts for specific tools and commands, giving more flexibility for personalized workflow.

    Customizable keyboard shortcuts would enhance productivity by allowing users to streamline their workflow and reduce time spent navigating menus. This would be especially beneficial for users who rely on specific tools frequently.

    Adding a simple interface to assign or modify keyboard shortcuts, and offering a "Save as Default" option, would provide users with more control over their experience, making the tool even more efficient for professional and personal use.

  6. Locked objects should not highlight at all when drag selecting over them

    That’s the whole reason I lock them, so they’re not in the way and are ignored during complex selections. Highlighting them when mousing over? It goes against the very design principle of locking. So annoying to see these fundamental usability regressions at every turn with .ai lately.

  7. Inking mode

    Provide ability to “ink” a line drawing. Provide a means to color fill bounded areas - similar to the way color fill is handled in Procreate as an example. After using the pen tool to define the lines of an illustration - like for example a cartoon character - it would be very helpful to be able to colorize the line drawing by dragging color in to bounded (leak proof) areas created by these overlapping lines.

  8. Vector Halftones Effect (within AI and without third-party plugins)

    I would like AI to integrate a feature that can convert raster images and/or vector elements (gradients, sketches, shapes, anything..) into a perfectly shaped round dots Halftones Effect.

    As a matter of fact, it is already possibile to get something similar by applying the raster halftones Effect to the element and then Live Tracing it. But the result is something uneven made of irregular circles or shape. So it is not a precise function to take into consideration.

    The effect should be achieved without any third-party plugins or anything which is not already included in the full AI software release…

  11. Make option for new artboards to track their names based on existing artboards

    Create 2 artboards.
    Delete second one.
    Create new artboard—the name will be 'Artboard 3'.

    This is very-very inconvenient most of the times.
    Make it behave as Layers behave both in PS and AI!
    New artboard should check the stack and increment it's name properly.

  14. Grouping / linking objects from different layers

    Hi Illustrator ! It would be great if there’s a feature to group objects and not have them in the same layer. Many instances I want to be able to resize/multiple select different objects (frim different layers) at the same time without having to select each of them individually everytime.

    Dear users,


    Can you please let us know what is that you cannot do with the existing 'save selection' functionality that you expect to do by grouping objects from different layers?


    'Save selection' enables you to combine objects from different layers without having to bring them into one single layer.


    To use 'save selection' just select your desired objects and save the selection from the select > save selection menu command or from the bottom of the layers panel.

  15. Advanced Rename Tools for Artboards with Find & Replace

    Would love to have a feature that allows a mass-rename feature to artboards the same way you can rename files in Mac OS: Add Text, Replace Text, Format. As a designer who exports many artboards for the web and is constantly renaming file version numbers for easy export - this would be a dream!

  16. Tangent Constraint or Advanced snapping system

    I work in Illustrator all the time and I ask my self why or how can I snap a line or a shape to the tangent of another shape like Autodesk AutoCAD's "Tangent Constraint", some say that I can start with the Line Segment tool and go from there building the shape, but this option will give me a limited movement and it's not practical like if we have a tangent constraint in Illustrator so we can build logos and shapes more easier and that will make illustrator go to perfection more and more.

  17. Keyboard shortcut to fit artboard to selection

    Currently you must have content selected to fit it to art board in focus. This workflow adds extra interaction cost by having to remember to first select before hitting the drop-down menu to fit it. Selecting the content and art board and striking a key command would make this a lot more efficient.

    Illustrator has two commands to fit artboards.

    One of them, 'Fit to Selected Art', requires a selection — obviously.

    The other one, 'Fit to Artwork Bounds' — does not, but works for the entire artwork.

    You can insert the one that you need in an action, using the 'Insert menu item...' command from the Actions panel’s flyout menu, and assign a hotkey to the action.

    However, I believe the request is not about a hotkey, but a way to let Illustrator to 'Fit to the contents of artboard' command? Please comment back to make it clear.

  18. Network drives support

    I can't believe what I read on this Adobe support page (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html) about using Illustrator files only on your LOCAL drive.
    How is it possible Adobe drove it's software into this nightmare?
    If we really can't acces and save our files on a local network drive then I am really done with it...

    Hi,

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Please provide some information in order to reproduce the issue on our end. Please provide the below information –
    The version of Illustrator you are using ?
    Hardware details?
    Your operating system?
    Is this happening even with a small file?
    Can you please share the file with which this is happening every time you save on server?

    This will help us to investigate into the issue.

  19. Support for "9-slice scaling" in SVG

    SVG export breaks "9-slice scaling". This is understandable, since SVG has no such concept built-in.

    But SVG can do something like this. Or "4-slice scaling". See, for example:

    https://w3.eleqtriq.com/2014/03/the-holy-grail-of-image-scaling/

    I would like to see Illustrator's SVG export offer this feature, given that Illustrator does.

    At the very least, if implementation wont happen, or is delayed, please mention that 9-slice scaling is not working in SVG export in the docs and (for bonus points) as a warning in the export dialog box (in cases where the document uses this feature).
