Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.
The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.
If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.
I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

Import AI smart objects as vectors
If you have a smart object that is a vector (say an .ai file) for use in Photoshop, if you later export the PSD file back to AI, all the smart objects get rasterized including vector smart objects. It would be better if they are converted back to vector (except maybe in situations where they have effects or masks).

3D Revolve Perspective is Always Off Center
The perspective setting for the 3D revolve effect seems to be centered on the OBJECT being revolved rather than the AXIS of the revolve. That means that adding any perspective skews the object off-center (see lower cylinder in attached example screenshot).
Could a setting be added to shift the center of the perspective to the axis (among other options)? Sorry if a setting exists and I just can't find it.

Simple navigation in the structure of objects.
Simple navigation in the structure of objects.
Finishing the code of this great idea would be an exit to a new quality of work and management of objects during creation.
- Add a drop-down list to each column in this bar. For example, clicking on layers causes the layer tree to be highlighted in the document stack.
- Editing object / layer / group name from this level.
- Layer menu in this bar.
- Clicking on the first left arrow "Leaving group" simulation of the ESC key operation at this level of work with the object.
Best Regards!

Add a keyboard shortcut for Relink
One of the features I use very heavily is the Relink button in the Link palette. It has major advantages over the Place function:
1) it automatically replaces selected linked images (Place requires you to check the Replace checkbox, which becomes unchecked once you do any other Place that isn't a replace)
But most importantly,
2) It allows you to relink multiple linked images (replacing them in order from topmost to bottommost).Since there is literally no other way to replace multiple linked images in a single action (Place grays out the Replace checkbox if you have more than one…

Smart guides to work with artboard
I suggest enabling smart guides when you work with artboards as well, feels like it should help with workflow.
1 voteSmart Guides can be used to align artboards almost the same as other shapes. If you have a feature request or a bug report on the behavior you don’t like about — please upvote an existing one or make a new one.

Simulate color blindness for accessibility
It would be nice to be able to quickly check my work for accessibility. A button group/panel that lets me switch between protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and monochromacy would be really useful. Arguably, a monochromatic view is useful outside of accessibility, allowing one to check the tonal or value relationships in a design. This feature is not only applicable in Illustrator but across many of your products.

Align to Artboard is set as default
Align to Artboard is automatically set to default, even after changing the toggle to Align to Selection.
It used to work that whichever you selected, that selection would remain. But now, it always switches back to Align to Artboard. Very frustrating.

Sell a 2 pick your own software Adobe bundle.
I find the adobe suite to be too expensive, specially since I only use Pshop and Illustrator. But getting them individually is also too expensive. Would be awesome if Adobe provided us with a bundle for like 25 bucks where we could pick any two adobe programs if its the 20 dollar ones or 15 if its the 9.99 ones.

Split blends
It would be nice if Ai could allow to split a blend in a step defined, effectively creating two merged blends — something that CorelDraw was able to do for years.

Paste into selected object
Very easy to paste easily from the clipboard to the selected object.
⌘ + alt + shift = paste into selected object.Currently, the option is complicated and not intuitive. A lot of time.

ワークスペースに記憶されるスウォッチ
ワークスペースの機能をとても気に入っています。作業をしていてどんなにパネルをごちゃごちゃにしても、一発ですっきりと自分のお気に入りの環境に戻せるからです。
しかし、残念なことがひとつあります。
私は、よく使う色を、aiにまとめてスウォッチを作っています。
そのスウォッチを読み込んで、そのパネルを、ワークスペース内の他のパネルとくっつけて、私の理想的なワークスペースをいくつか作りました。それに名前をつけて保存しておきました。ところが、Illustratorを再起動すると、ワークスペースから自作のスウォッチのパネルだけが無くなってしまいます。他のパネルの配置や状態は変わらないのですが、自作のスウォッチの状態だけは記憶されていないようです。
ところが不思議なことに、新たにワークスペースを作って、Illustratorを終了するまでの間は、自作のスウォッチも含めて記憶されているように見受けられます。パネルの配置を変えてしまってから、「ウインドウ > ワークスペース」で保存したワークスペースのリセットを行うと、自作のスウォッチも含めて、元の状態に戻ります。
ああ、素晴らしい。快適だなあと思うのですが..
次にIllustratorを起動したときには自作のスォッチのパネルだけ忘れられているのです。とても惜しい。もうちょっとで完璧なのに！1 vote -
Convert to Line effect
If you try to apply 'Convert to Rectangle' effect, Ai will limit you minimal width/height to 0.01mm — not zero. It means we can't use it to create 'lines'. And this is something appearance and styles will hugely benefit from.
Of course, it should allow to set a reference point too:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32052073-add-reference-point-to-convert-to-shape-effectAnd although we have a Transform effect to deal with the angle, having it for the line is obviously needed.

Alignment marks for Screen print
Is there any way you can add a feature that would allow a novice screen printer the option to select a center mark and bleeds?

Menu View - New View - Rotate View
Hi,
If the option of rotating Artboard is too difficult in Illustrator, maybe it is easier to create "rotated views"?
When working with packaging, the inability to rotate the view of the packaging walls while working in one document is really a prehistory of creative work. In a professional program, this must be resolved by the Adobe Customer Support Team.
Thank you everyone for the current effort.

リフレクトツール使用時のダイアログで「リフレクトの軸」の設定が前回と同じにならず、毎回変わってしまう
今までのリフレクトツールは前回使用した「リフレクトの軸」が記憶されており、使うたびに決めなおす必要がありませんでした。しかし、アップデート後に使おうとすると、使用時のダイアログで設定が一定ではなく、毎回変わってしまい困っています。水平・垂直が変わるだけでなく、角度の任意の数値まで毎回異なる状態です。リフレクト軸を前回と同じ設定で使うなら、ダイアログが出てもいちいち確認せずreturnキーを押すだけで素早く反転できていたので、ちゃんと前の設定のまま使える様に戻してもらいたいです。

「トリミング表示」を改善していただきたい。
「トリミング表示」を改善していただきたい。
アートボードが重なって複数存在する場合、一番大きなアートボードでトリミングされるようです。任意のアートボードを指定できると嬉しいです。ご検討お願いします。1 vote
