1. Please Remove Artboard Limit Entirely!

   There appears to be a limit of 1000 artboards on a single canvas in Adobe Illustrator. This is VERY annoying. I frequently have Illustrator files with multiple very small artboards (for iconography). It's absurd that I have all this canvas space and cannot add as many artboards as I want/need.

   You can assign your own hotkeys to different tools with Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

   
   

   Also, you can pick Pencil, hit Enter )or double-click the tool’s button) to open the Pencil Tool Options dialog and check 'Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool' — this will allow to quickly temporarily access Smooth on the go while you are working with Pencil.

   
   

   Same applies to the Brush and Blob Brush stools by default.

3. Special characters like in InDesign

   It would be reat to have special characters (especially hyphens and white spaces) like in InDesign... and that they work just as good. So far, for example, the "nonbreaking space" doesn't always react well when the text is justified.

5. Non esiste la possibilità di ri-utilizzare un file .ai in adobe Draw. Questo è un problema!

   Nel caso capiti di perdere o sovrascrivere un file creativo online (nel Cloud) dell'App Adobe Draw e si avesse solo l'esportazione del progetto in Illustrator (.ai), non esiste la possibilità di poter ritornare a lavorarci in Adobe Draw! Non esiste un file di scambio al contrario cioè da Illustrator a Draw! Questo può rappresentare un problema serio!

8. view Anchor Points

   View Anchor Points selection under the view tab. I'd like to see Anchor Points anytime I click on an object if I have this view selected, not just a barely there blue line that is hard to tell what is clicked as it currently is when you select Show Edges under the view tab.

   You can enable this with 'Show Anchor Points in Selection Tool and Shape Tool' option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Preview

10. Smooth(er) tool

    I’d love it while using the blob brush tool if the smoothing worked nicely for crossing paths.

    Actually, cleaning is a tedious process I would avoid.

11. Illustrator works terribly with the Microsoft stylus.. both the interface needs to be completely overhauled to work with touch

    Illustrator needs a complete overhaul in order to work as a touch interface with a stylus... the 'touch' workspace is a step in the right direction but needs more features including layers.. also the performance is terrible in working with a pressure sensitive stylus and results in misleading line weight lagging and locking up and freezing.. I am using the surface pro (5)

12. Optimization of Vector Assets in CC Libraries

    When you're dragging an Illustrator asset in a CC Library, the asset is placed in a default New Document Profile which come with Default document Libraries such as Swatches, Symbols, Graphic Styles and Brushes.

    In my screenshot example the file size of simple shapes is 355 ko in place of 74 ko without these unused assets.

    It will be great to base the CC Libraries Vector Assets creation on an "empty of default assets" Document Profiles (RVG, CMYK…).

    Thanks for the great work the Team is doing!

    AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    It’s a common behavior for all files and all editors out there, not only Illustrator.

    When you 'open' a file, the editor reads it and 'hold in its mind', making a virtual copy basically. When you save it, it writes it back the disk, to the location where it was read from. Illustrator does not track what the OS does with the file, and OS never tells Illustrator that a user moved the file elsewhere, or deleted.

    An editor can lock the file, so nothing can move or delete or rename it, but this method causes more troubles and frustration. It’s safer to never let the data to get lost.

15. Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#

    Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
    Hello,

    i'm developting a small library to access PathObjects in Illustrator (works fine for CS2, CS5) - but i have massive performance problems with CC2019. I am using VS2017.

    Code looks like:

    Type AIType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(AIAppName);
    dynamic illuApp = Activator.CreateInstance(AIType);

    if (illuApp == null)
    {
    return;
    }

    if (illuApp.Documents.Count < 1)
    {
    return;
    }

    System.Array lll = illuApp.ActiveDocument.selection;
    if (lll != null)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i < lll.Length; i++)
    {
    dynamic path = lll.GetValue(i);
    if (path != null)
    {
    var lll2 = path.PathPoints;
    Application.DoEvents();
    int iSelCount = lll2.Count;
    if (iSelCount >= 4)
    {
    string sss = path.typename;
    float dH = (float)(path.Height / dScale);
    float dW = (float)(path.Width / dScale);
    float dL = (float)(path.Left / dScale);
    float dT = (float)Math.Abs(path.Top / dScale);
    dynamic obCol = path.FillColor;
    sss = obCol.typename;
    Color col = Color.Black;
    if (sss.Contains("CMYK"))
    {
    var r = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Cyan / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    var g = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Magenta / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    var b = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Yellow / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
    col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
    }
    else if (sss.Contains("RGB"))
    {
    int r = (int)(obCol.Red);
    int g = (int)(obCol.Green);
    int b = (int)(obCol.Blue);
    col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
    }

                Data.Add(NewInfo (dL, dT, dW, dH, col);
            }
        }
    }
    

    }

    Until CS5, processing 1000 selected rectangles need a couple of seconds, but on newer CC Versions it needs MINUTES.

    I use exactly the same code - is there something i am missing?

    Mainly accessing "path.PathPoints" (needs ~ 15 msec.) and "path.FillColor" (needs ~ 20 msec.) are time consuming.

    Thanks in advance for any hint! I have the performance issues on Win 7 and on Win 10.

16. Smart/Adaptive Cross-Colorspace Swatches

    It's industry standard to define brand colors in more than one colorspace. Usually you have at least PMS, CMYK and RGB definitions of each brand color you're deploying.

    I'd love it if Illustrator (or the whole CC suite, as a matter of fact) would help this routine, like this:

    Let's have a new swatch type: Cross-Colorspace Swatch. This special swatch type would enable the designer to define variations of the color in any/all color spaces, inside that one swatch definition.

    Instead of defining say three different swatches, you would define one, saying: "This is Brand color 1. In cmyk colorspace it's C50M0..., in rgb colorspace it's R0G120.., it's Pantone code is PMS 20..."

    This way, when you change your document's color space or paste into a document in another colorspace, for example, the Cross-Colorspace Swatch would automatically check if it has a definition ready for the target space, and override whatever default conversion rules with that definition.

    For situations where it's not obvious which definition to use (for example whether you want to use the PMS or CMYK definition when your document is in CMYK mode) you would be able to force the swatch to use the version you want (say, PMS).

    Further uses would include automations for creating captioned samples of the color in each colorspace, to help in creating brand books and such, for example.

17. CGM Import

    Enable Ai to import CGMs that have Active X controls. I export CGMs from an IETM, but do not need to retain the embedded links within the CGM file. Allow Ai to import Active X CGMs and disable Active X. May want to display popup window stating Active X will be lost unless save imported CGM as a new file.

20. Please restore "Lettering" in the Trace presets

    I cannot match prior documents with the new advanced settings.
    I trace documents of text to be made into glass etchings and the previous "Lettering" preset in CS 5.5. Illustrator was perfect but the new sliders don't produce results as clean as previously.
