Direct Component Group
Is it possible to create a direct component group that performs certain functions, rather than relying on clickable line options? This way, there's no need to enter a group to select the required component.

Allow to disable 'Create PDF Compatible File' option when saving AIT templates
Compatibility with PDF takes a ton of disk space, and .ait templates don’t really need it, because these are no intended to be imported or placed — just launched. Perhaps you should disable it by default?
As I understand, these are actually just .ai files, but the different extension causes Ai to process them differently...
I don’t expect a full-blown dialog when saving, but why not?
Take a look at this related request:

Align to guides
Select multiple objects, click a guide then a small align box opens, select vertical align for example and it aligns all the objects to that guide line. Also the horizontal/vertical distribute centre doesn't work with logos, even shapes it does but if you select 4 random vector logos it doesn't space them evenly

Stop covering the document tabs with expanded docked panels
If I dock panels to sides of the application frame, expanding the ones from the top panel groups will cover the document tabs, like the GIF shows.
In a situation when it’s important to know what is the current document (they can differ slightly) this is especially irritating.Please nudge them down a bit!

Collision detection for Symbol Sets
The one feature desperately needed for symbols is to turn the symbol sprayer tool into a real particle system or, at least, add collision detection.

Make an option to allow resizing artboards with their content to affect hidden and locked layers/objects
Current problems:
It does not resize hidden layers/objects
(huge problem, which I only realized later after unhiding a layer, and had to revert to a previous save. I see now there's a warning, but that doesn't solve the issue).It does not resize locked layers/objects
(It should work similarly to Resize Image in photoshop where everything resizes.)
3 votesIllustrator allows to affect hidden and locked object and layers when resizing artboards.
Go to Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display and enable Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard option.
I’d agree it should say 'Move and Scale', and there is a separate request to allow to toggle this option right next to the buttons that enable 'Move/Copy' and 'Scale' modes in Control and Properties panels — please upvote it.

Allow to snap to points of a symbol with Dimension Tool
Is there any chance to make it works with symbols? Using multiple instances of a symbol is a basic workflow in many industries (especially in the fashion industry). Unfortunately you can’t work this way because the Dimension tool is not compatible with symbols.
Thanks to Daté Tetegan for the idea.

Fix the problem to allow me to create a new canvas and use the app.
I can’t create a new file since I subscribed, it is absolutely wasting my trial… very bad experience.

User Friendly Subscription Services
Change the subscription model from yearly to monthly as default. In it's current state, the basic subscription is misleading. It claims it's monthly but locks you into a yearly contract. There are two ways to fix this.
- Use an honest model that is fully monthly with no contracts.
or..
- Create better easy to read text that clarifies if the subscription is monthly or yearly.
Please fix the subscription services to better reflect their intentions.

Adobe Max 2D to 3D Turn views using Adobe Illustrator
Hello Adobe -
I'm interested in becoming one of your Beta testers for this new tool I am hearing about regarding Adobe Max.
What's shown is a way to take a 2D drawings and converting it in Adobe Illustrator a turn around version from the 2D to 3D art.
Whom do I speak to to become one of your Beta testers. I work in the professional field of 2D and 3D and would like to give feedback on this tool. I work with Adobe Illustrator professionally in the industry. So whom do I contact moving forward?
Thanks,

Panelize Blend Options, Offset Path, etc.
In pre-2020 Illustrator versions, the Path -> Simplify tool was a window. Post 2020, it got changed into a live panel which, when opened, doesn't halt the focus and lets you change settings while you move around the artboard with the Hand tool or Zoom in or such.
It is sadly the only "classic" Object tool that got this treatment. Other tools, especially Blend Options, Offset Path, Envelope Distort with Warp, etc. would benefit greatly from similar panelisation. It's not a great user experience that I can't zoom or pan while I'm trying to offset my path.4 votes -
線の塗りを設定しているオブジェクトがマスクされてしまう
macOS14.7.2
Illustrator29以降にアップデートしてから現れたバグです。（現在29.2.1）線の塗りを有効にしているオブジェクトを下位バージョンへコピー＆ペーストするとマスクされた状態になってしまいます。マスクを解除すれば戻りますが、オブジェクトが複数あるものはグループが解除されてしまいます。

Show/Collapse Option for the Right-Click Menu Items
The Right-Click menu is getting too long. How about making an option to collapse or send to a fly-out window from the right-click menu, the least used tools/commands? Or, the ability to roll-up (or keep unrolled) the sections in the right-click menu? And the next time AI is started, the settings appear as they were from a previous session.

Add a 'Single Midpoint Anchor' Tool in Illustrator
Request: Add a tool or command that allows users to add a single anchor point precisely at the midpoint of any selected path segment without affecting the entire shape.
Why It’s Needed: Illustrator currently lacks an intuitive way to place an anchor point exactly between two existing anchor points. The "Add Anchor Points" command applies to all segments, and the Smart Guides often fail to indicate an accurate midpoint. Manually calculating coordinates is impractical.
Suggested Implementation:
A new "Add Midpoint Anchor" option in Object > Path that works on a single segment.
A modified behavior in the Pen Tool (P)…

Shortcut with Cmd to select a tool
Shortcuts with Cmd keys
Please please make it possible to use the Cmd key to make shortcut to select a tool. This is crucial for working quick and efficiently. I know about the V and the A for choosing Selection and Direct Selection Tool, but when you are working with text, you cannot use these. Then you have to go the long way up to the tools panel to choose these. This make you work really slow.
In Indesign it is easy to make this shortcut. In Photoshop and Illustrator it is prohibited. Please make this small adjustment to Illustrator…

Add ability to use artboard names when exporting.
When you export PDF it would be nice to save artboards to individual files with the artboard name. Naming artboards doesn't really do much right now.
