  3. Industrial feedback

    My customers REQUIRE all our reruns of our labels to be the same. The color, the fonts, everything. Continuous reissuing of new versions of Illustrator makes this very time consuming and difficult. Most important, often our pressmen (with 50+ years of experience between the two) will not know something has changed until printed.

    An industrial press uses about 12 feet of material before the first label even prints, making this a HUGE material and time waster in a busy print house.

    Either fix your colors once and stop or tell us PRIOR to release of the changes so that we…

  4. Shape Eraser Tool

    similar to eraser tool in clip studio paint vector layer, you just click to delete a shape / path / compound path, or sweep the tool to delete multiple adjacent shapes.
    Currently I have to click and delete to trim these lines, which are expanded brush strokes, really time consuming process.

  6. Customize Preset Stroke Weight

    Not sure if this is in the right category but I would like the ability to preset the stroke weight to something smaller (or bigger) than 1px. If I'm using the pen tool for multiple things I find that the stroke weight of 1px can be too heavy & I can't see what I'm outlining in the fine detail I require because the stroke is so big, so I was wondering if there was a way to set it in the preferences window so that every time I created a shape or path with the pen tool the stroke weight…

  7. Take UI problems from users serious!!

    Schön wäre es wenn man das UI "dezent" bzw. stufenlos skalieren könnte.
    Am Retina iMac ist die kleine Schriftgröße und Symbolgröße in den Bedienfeldern eine Katastrophe!

    Schön wäre es auch wenn Voreinstellungen von Indesign, Illustrator und Photoshop alle am selben Ort zu finden wären.
    Und eine dezente UI Skalierung für Indesign und Photoshop wär auch ein Hit. Ich verstehe nicht, warum man dies nur für Illustrator gemacht hat und da nur schlampig.

  8. Separation preview with values on hover

    Just like in InDesign there should be the value of each channel on the exact spot (while you are hovering over any point on your artwork)

    Here the difference between AI and ID (each while hovering over an image)

    It's hard to check color values without (at the moment you have to put the finished .ai into a InDesign document, activate separation view there and check each point.) For printing you have a minimum requirement of 3%-7% (depending on the technique like offset or gravure printing) in each channel to make sure it actually prints. Otherwise it may not! It…

  15. Gray hash marks and numbers against a black background for rulers

    Gray hashmarks against a black ruler may be fashionable, but they are hard to see when aligning text and objects, or even measuring objects. How about a white ruler with black hashmarks, and a black curser?

  16. Show gridlines in outline view

    If "Show Grid" is activated, in Outline View, the grid is mostly invisible. It only leaves very subtle dotted lines along the major grid lines, but the subdivision grid lines aren't visible.

    It would be nice to see some faint lines of the subdivision grid lines in outline view so when I'm zooming in very close, those lines don't disappear.

  17. save template permissions error Mac.

    In 24.0 it seems that there is a file permissions bug that prevents templates being saved into the default Templates folder. App sandboxing and file permissions may not have been defined in the Desktop Mac app.

    1. Save As Template...
    2. Name it Save

  20. Please add "Do not add space between same style" feature to Paragraph Styles options.

    Please add "Do not add space between same style" feature to Paragraph Styles options. It'd be a great feature to have in Illustrator :)
