  1. One Standard Between Adobe Application Tools

    In PS I can use the several tool and click and holding Shift key and click on a point on the other end. This will either erase or paint a corresponding line at the other end.

    Is this not a feature inside AI?

    Appears in AI I have to hold the left mouse key and drag to get the eraser to draw a straight line..

  4. For personal workspace and palette preferences carry over to updates.

    I have a highly customized workspace for my workflow. It would be nice to cary over all of settings and preferences from the previous version. With the rapid release of beta versions, it becomes a big issue and I lose a lot of time resetting my environment to accommodate my existing workflow.

    If this already exist, please tell me how to address it. Thanks!

  5. OKHSL Color Model Support - Better than HSL

    The HSL color model has a lot of issues with it and has been improved upon with OKHSL.

    See this article—once you see the OKHSL color wheel, you will be sold instantly! Looks way better.

    See attached images of HSL vs OKHSL.

    Full article: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/colorpicker/

    Would be great to have this in Illustrator.

  6. 复合路径建立的剪切蒙版

    复合路径建立的剪切蒙版,如何把蒙版分割的对象分离成单独的对象。如图中,我用矩形复合路径通过剪切蒙版把图片分割,但是现在是一个整体,我想让蒙版中分割的每个对象成为一个单独的对象,请问有什么好办法吗?比如类似于“扩展”的功能。
    当然,每个矩形可以单独建立剪切蒙版,但是会非常麻烦。

  7. Introduce a way to control the cross-section for 3D Inflate profile

    For "Inflate", it would be cool to have a curves/profile editor to modify the cross-section more than the Volume slider currently allows. Currently it seems that turning down the volume essentially pancakes the object - and sometimes that's a good look! But it would be nice to have the option to retain an overall "bubble" feel like the object has at 100% Volume.

  8. Copy and Pase Layer with sorted and named sublayer looses all the structure after pasting.

  9. Can we have nicer gradient when we use spot color to gradient?

    Look like the tone was mixed with desaturated tone at the middle part when we use pantone / spot colour we created.
    When we output to print, the desaturated tone is still visible.
    Attached the screenshot for your reference. Thank you!

  10. can we have a Chinese paragraph arrangement function (Hyphenate) in English Illustrator, which is now only available in Chinese illustrator

    as a Chinese English Illustrator user, we are more familiar with English Illustrator interface than Chinese, even though we can read Chinese. It will be really convenient for us to have the hyphenate function, which is now only available in Chinese Illustrator, to be also available in English Illustrator, like Hebrew, Arabic, Dutch etc...

  11. Detailed Cloud Libraries history and version control

    We need a way to see the edit history for items in a cloud library, including at a minimum when an asset was updated and who made the change... as well as the ability to restore a specific version.

  13. Type number of sides for polygon tool and star tool

    Currently to get a number of points on a star you have to type the [up key] or [down key] But often I know what number of points or sides I want on the polygon or star.

    I'd like the ability to type the number of sides/points.

    This could be achieved in a number of ways:
    - An option panel (could change it after the fact as long as it is selected as long as the points haven't been moved?)
    - hold and drag and type the number (say 3, 6, 9, etc)
    - double click on the polygon/star icon…

  15. Trim View - Isolate to one artboard only

    I like the option of "Trim View" to temporarily hide artwork that outside of my artboard. But when I have overlapping artboards and I try to use trim view on one of them Illustrator combines the area of the overlapping artboards and trims everything outside of that "merged" artboard. This defeats the purpose of using trim view for me. I would like trim view to isolate the artboard I'm working on and only that artboard. It would also be nice if the black lines showing the other artboard extents would also disappear when entering trim view for a single artboard.…

  16. Increase selection tolerance

    The selection tolerance maximum is 8px. My laptop has a 4k screen making 8px less than 1/64 of an inch. It's almost impossible for me to select lines in Illustrator with this small of a tolerance.

  18. Allow Shaper Tool to create stars

    Shaper Tool allows to create live rectangles, ellipses, polygons in a freehand manner: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/building-new-shapes-using-shape.html

    Recently a new live shape got added into Illustrator — Star.
    But Shaper Tool won’t create one if you try to scribble it.
    Not sure how popular Shaper Tool is, but it should be able to do it anyway.

    Original idea by Monika Gause.

  19. Option+Arrow to duplicate and move text

    Please bring back the ability to duplicate and move text with the Option+Arrow keys. It was an incredibly handy feature. I used it all the time and it has been sorely missed.

  20. An optional feature in which the Similar Selection tool only works in a pre defined space on the canvas

    For example:
    I have two copy's of the same layout in one canvas, but i only want to change similar objects in one of them.
    I would love to be able to draw a box around one of the 2 layouts and only in the select area the similar selction tool should select the similar objects.

    That would be an amazing feature! for me atleast :D
