2. Add a basic camera match feature for 3D

   Add a basic camera match feature. I'm trying to make some editable type going over a 3d render for a client who uses Illustrator. It was rendered in C4D with Octane so recreating it in Illustrator isn't going to happen. If I could just draw a few axis lines and then have it match this would make my task MUCH easier.

3. Rotating 3D object should allow users to choose between local and global space

   I rotate on the X axis with the gizmo, but the input fields for Y and Z all update. So this is a local rotation gizmo translating to a global space field input? Not really that helpful for the user. Stick to local or give us the option to toggle local or global space.

4. 3D Gizmo needs redesign: rotation feedback and axis color coding

   Gizmo needs to have a re-think. Just open any actual 3D app built in the last 20 years for tips. It gives no feedback. I rotate something, and it looks the same. it should orient itself to the object I'm rotating. Color coding each axis would help too.

5. Gap Tool and Live Distribute like InDesign has, with improvements

   InDesign has Gap Tool — https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/aligning-distributing-objects.html#align_objects_using_the_gap_tool

   Also it has Live Distribute —helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/aligning-distributing-objects.html#distributeobjectsusinglivedistribute

   These allow us to control a gap’s size between chosen pair of elements (quoted):

   —Drag to move the gap and resize all objects aligned along the gap.

   — Shift-drag to move the gap between only the two nearest objects.

   — Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) to resize the gap instead of moving it. Adding the Shift key resizes the gap between only the two nearest objects.

   — Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to move the gap and objects in the same direction. Adding the Shift key moves only the two nearest objects.

   — Ctrl+Alt-drag (Windows) or Command+Option-drag (Mac OS) to resize the gap and move the objects. Adding the Shift key to resize the gap and move only the two nearest objects.

   — Start dragging a selection handle and hold down the Spacebar while dragging. Continue dragging to change the spacing between the objects.

   Illustrator needs these options as well.
   However, we need more than it has.

   1. We need a way to numerically set these values too, not only interactively on canvas. The only thing we have now from the box is Distribute Spacing, and it’s rather limited.

   2. We need a way to specify the final dimension of the selection or the final position of the chosen edge (similar to the way this script allows: https://sysys.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/96/)

   3. We need a way to choose an axis or the path (curves or straight) these gaps follow.

6. Please Fix Image Trace

   Image trace has been fairly low fidelity since I upgraded from CS5 to CC, but in the last few years especially I've noticed an extreme downturn in the quality of the basic settings for live trace. In previous versions(CS5, CS6) the basic settings were high quality enough to provide good traces of artwork. I used to be able to live trace type without much of an issue if the image was large enough; I don't even do that now because even if it's set at 1500dpi the type will come in with irregular shapes or curves that should be straight/straight lines that should be curves.

   There's a website called Vectorizer.ai that without even tweaking the settings provides a much better image trace than what Illustrator is currently capable of, there are also a lot more settings to optimize what you're going for as opposed to presets that don't always make sense to me or to other users I've talked to.

   I would love to see this fixed because it's one of the few things in my workflow that has me considering using other products!

   Thank you

7. Please allow us to search for a specific file when we click into the “My Files” tab

   Having a search bar would save us a lot of time.
   Basically when I want a specific file and I know the name I have to swipe and look thru almost a thousand of my files to find it… if there was a search bar I would be able to type in the project name and access my files in seconds vs 10-15 minutes… I have a lot of projects…

8. 「テキストからベクター生成」にレイヤーオブションを加えてください

   背景と上に乗るキャラクター等をレイヤー分けできるような仕組みを追加してください。
   たとえば、

   「下のレイヤー：波の穏やかな白い砂浜のビーチ、上のレイヤー：じゃれ合う２匹の子犬」

   というようにプロンプトに記述したレイヤー構成に従って生成されるようになると格段に使い勝手が良くなると思います。

10. Allow to export empty TGA and TIFF

    1. Windows 10.
    2. Version 28.0.
    3. Exporting an empty file to TGA format.
    4. Illustrator should proceed to "Targa Options" but instead gives a message "Could not write the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop Adapter."
    5. No attachment needed, just open a new document and try to save it as TGA without adding any contents.

    This is an edge case - there are not many cases where you'd want an empty file of a specific resolution, although there are some, and of course in this case you can just make an empty TGA through Photoshop (which I have done). But I figured I'd pass this along anyways since while it is an edge case, it is buggy behaviour nonetheless. Worth the time to fix? Maybe, maybe not.

12. Make Illustrator inform users about the live shape nature of the path used for area type and provide associated controls for it

    Currently, when we use a live rectangle as a path for an area type, it secretly stays live shape inside, and it allows us to scale the object with the round corners honored. If we round corners for a rectangle-looking path (not live shape), corners will get stretched.

    However, there is no way to distinguish these two cases with UI, or to convert a rectangular path used for the area type into live rectangle shape, or to have shape-sepcific controls.

    Please refer to the discussion in comments for the details.

    This request is based on the original declined bug report below. Full text is given below.

    Area type rounded corners distort when resizing.
    Is it possible to make the corners remain live so they don't distort? See attached image.

13. Offline Tutorials

    Tutorials in the new version only work on-line. In older version we could use tutorials off-line as well.

    In prison classroom, student (inmate) computers do not have on-line access all the time so they cannot use tutorials. Starting with a tutorial is very helpful to break the ice and give them an overview of the program.

    Make tutorials accessible both in Photoshop and illustrator in off-line mode.
    We pay the subscription price so we should be able to use the tutorials as well.
    Thank you.,

14. Enhancing Symbols in Adobe Illustrator

    Dear Adobe Illustrator Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my appreciation for the incredible work you've done with Adobe Illustrator and to request a feature enhancement that I believe would greatly benefit the user experience. Specifically, I would like to propose improvements to the Symbols feature, focusing on the ability to change the values of instances, such as text or color, and the inclusion of multiple predefined values, such as night and day themes. Additionally, I would like to suggest improvements to the 9-slice feature, making it more responsive and adaptable to different sizes, similar to Figma components.

    Symbols play a crucial role in streamlining workflows and maintaining consistency within design projects. However, the current limitations in Adobe Illustrator prevent users from easily customizing instances of symbols beyond their placement. By allowing users to modify values of instances, such as text or color, within a symbol, you would empower designers to create dynamic and adaptable designs without sacrificing the benefits of symbol-based workflows. This feature enhancement would significantly improve the efficiency and flexibility of working with symbols, enabling designers to iterate and experiment more effectively.

    Furthermore, introducing support for multiple predefined values within symbols would be a game-changing addition. For instance, having the ability to define night and day themes within a single symbol would allow designers to seamlessly switch between different visual styles, catering to various contexts and requirements. This feature would greatly streamline the design process, eliminating the need for duplicate symbols and reducing the overall complexity of managing design variations.

    In addition to symbol enhancements, I would like to suggest improvements to the 9-slice feature in Adobe Illustrator. Figma components have set a standard for responsive and adaptable design elements, and it would be fantastic to see similar capabilities in Adobe Illustrator. By enhancing the 9-slice feature to automatically adjust and adapt to different sizes, designers would have greater control over scaling and responsiveness, ensuring consistent results across various screen resolutions and devices. This improvement would tremendously benefit UI/UX designers who rely on Adobe Illustrator for their design workflows.

    I genuinely believe that implementing these enhancements to the Symbols feature, along with improving the 9-slice functionality, would elevate Adobe Illustrator's capabilities to new heights. These additions would empower designers to create more efficiently, adapt to changing requirements effortlessly, and produce designs that are both visually stunning and highly functional.

    Thank you for your attention to this feature request. I appreciate your dedication to continuously improving Adobe Illustrator, and I look forward to the possibility of seeing these enhancements in future updates.

    Best regards,

15. Make Smooth command to have the persist/sticky option

    I like the new Smooth command and I'm using it frequently enough that it would be nice to have a persist/sticky option for it instead of repeatedly going back to the Object menu.

    Also, I find that smoothing of 20% works well for a lot of shapes I'm editing but could the bar be enhanced with a few click-to bars to speed up this process (see attached). Maybe include this for the Simplify command as well.

18. Option to add dimensions to current layer

    I enjoy the new dimension tool but find it annoying that it creates a whole new separate layer. Maybe my workflow is unconventional, but it would be nice if the dimensions could just be added to my print instructions layer instead of a whole new layer just for the dimensions. I make a lot of diecuts and find myself still using old methods to create the dimension lines due to it always putting them on another layer.

    Please increase the precision of Illustrator for placing files such as .dwg from other programs. I noticed the shapes change a lot. Or, change the initial size of the placed file to as large as the artboard. I know you have this option when you drag and drop a file, but you do not have this option when you select File-Place...

20. Toggle Artwork Visibility Outside of Artboard

    The function of the w key in InDesign switches between preview and normal view. Why doesn't Illustrator have this functionality? It would be so useful as I usually prefer to use Illustrator when I'm initially laying things out for a design project. I've seen multiple requests for this functionality in the forums. Please please please add this!
