  1. Name Change Improvement

    Dear Adobe, upon using the software for some years now I have got the impression of the software being related to illness, us being ill and traitor (although spelt a bit differently). So it's like 'ill' 'us' 'trator'.

    I know it might sound quite out there but there could be some reasoning to it. I for one have experienced some illness since using it (not to say the program is at fault) and an impression gets made and then I'm more cautious to use the program. The words 'ill us trator' come to mind many times and sometimes in this…

  2. More vector brushes

    Have more brushes! (like a tapered brush), allow to add, export, and make custom brushes.
    Easily delete overlapping lines like in CSP.
    Include patterns like half tones for comics we can drag and drop inside shapes.
    Allow gradients and patterns to be applied to the stroke.
    We can choose which part of the stroke to change the width instead of all of it.
    Have an option to do an even width change or freehand.
    Be able to fill color within the visible strokes/lines instead of shapes.

  4. requesting keyboard shortcut for 50% zoom

    It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to zoom to 50%. Often I want to see my artboard with some black/background around it instead of as full-screen or actual size.

    I currently do this by Ctrl+0 to fit to screen and then Alt + scroll to zoom out a little. But it would be great to cut this down to a single step.

    Ctrl + 5 is not currently defined in Illustrator default hotkeys, so it would not interfere with any existing commands.

  7. Curve length, area, perimeter measurements for Dimension tool

    We need a way to measure the length of a line regardless of shape, but at minimum we need a way to measure a basic curved line. It would be especially helpful if we could use the measure tool or some time-saving variant to tell if a curve has the desired length. While we can do a workaround now using the Document Info panel, having to isolate lines in order to do so can get really cumbersome and tedious.

    The team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

    If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

  8. Illustrator CC 2018 download support

    Hello, I used to use Illustrator CC 2018 on my work computer. It was having trouble opening AI and PDF files. I uninstalled the program and now I can't even install it back on the computer due to the program no longer being supported for download. 2018 was only 2 years ago. This is a huge problem for your users. Maybe have some kind of warning or do the right thing and offer support for programs older than 2 years.

  10. We need Watermark Panel

    I have suffered several times from clients who have steals my work and doesn’t pay the remaining 50% of the contract because it is a tedious job to make changes to a design and add, each time I need to export the artboard a watermark.

    It would be great to have a panel or a checkbox to apply a watermark to the entire artboard and that way we defend ourselves against bad clients easier.

    And if we can add our custom watermark, much better.

  12. Enable Width Tool for brush strokes

    Wouldn't it be logic when the Width Tool could be used to fine tune brush strokes?
    Let's start to make it available for round brushes.

  13. Return showing thumbnail file previews on Windows in Explorer

    Please add thumbnail file previews to Windows as we have with Adobe Reader. It's not fair that Mac users have this and Windows users don't While you're doing that please add them to PSD files as well.

  14. Make "Increase Diameter" and "Decrease Diameter" hotkeys work for Warp / Bloat / Wrinkle and other tools

    Other tools (eg. 'Blob Brush Tool', Blob Brush Erasor Tool', etc.) take the default shortcuts for scale up and down. On my setup that's ] for increase size and [ for decrease size. Multiple tools share those keys, and that's great.

    The Warp tool doesn't do this - you have to manually go into the tool preferences to change the scale. This breaks flow and wastes time.

    The Warp Tool is a nice idea. It would be a very good tool - if it was fully implimented.

    While we're at it, it could also be improved if it had an…
