1. pencil tool selection behaviour adjusmtent

   A detail that im missing from the legacy pencil tool.

   Its a missing detail in the option keep to path selected or deselected after being drawn.

   When this option is unchecked the object is deselected.
   If the path is selected again to be drawn upon to adjust the shape. It deselects it again.
   Now thats all logical and according to what the option says its supposed to do.

   BUT

   The legacy pencil tool before its rewrite it worked almost like that but not quite the same, and it was great.

   So you had the option to have the path deseletced after drawing.
   BUT if you den reselected it it stayed selected for as long as you needed it to adjust the shape.

   So to be clear im gonna try to describe th procees

   Draw shape
   Shape drawn, not selected.
   Select the drawn shape to draw on it to adjust it, its selected, you drawon on it, it still stays selected.

   This was very useful. Because usually you just want it deselected on first draw, but sometimes you need to go in and adjust a particular shape and then youre mentall in the mode of massaging that shape and want it selected till youre done.

   Please try the old pencil tool out and you will understand what i mean.
   Please impelement this again.

   Basically that the shape only deselect upon first draw. If reselected again it stays selected till you decide when to deselect it.
   It worked like this for 20 years or however long the the pencil too has been around.

2. Make Animated zoom and Scrubby zoom as two different settings, as in Photoshop

   I love the GPU animated zoom when scrubbing/dragging the canvas.
   BUT no that it starts zooming automatically when the mouse is pressed down less than a second.
   It’s extremely annoying.

   In Photoshop when you deactivate the Animated Zoom you can still scrub/drag the GPU zoom.

   If you deactivate the Animated Zoom in Illustrator you can only do the classic stepped zoom, but not drag to have the animated zoom.

   Can you add the feature to make it so that you can disable the automatic Animated Zoom but still keep the animated scrub/drag zoom please, just like in Photoshop.

5. Angled Guidelines

   I'm working on a typography piece right now and my guidelines look like this (see attached.) The black lines are straight strokes. I think it would be really neat to have an option for angled guidelines, so I don't have to mix vertical/horizontal guides with strokes.

6. Allow to quickly define new custom arrowheads

   I use custom arrow heads for a lot of projects and would like an easier interface for creating and managing custom arrow heads. I want to be able to rearrange the order of the arrow heads available as well as have fine grained control over how the arrow head will scale with stroke size. Non-symmetrical arrow head support is important to my work as well.

   Also, I really want to be able to place an arrow head at one end of a path at the tip and have the arrow head at the other end extend beyond the end of the path.

   Thanks!

7. Customizable Background and Wireframe Color for View > Outline mode

   It would be really helpful for those of us working in low-light environments to have an inverted / low-contrast option for the 'Outline' view.

   As it is, working on an all-white screen is very fatiguing. Having a simple switch to change the display from light to dark would be a welcomed QoL improvement.

   I've attached two images showing how I see this implemented.

   When "invert" is active I'd prefer the background not be pure-black but a dark shade of grey (shown as #1E1E1E here).

   Another option could be to make the alternate mode adaptive, where the color scheme matches the users Preferences > User Interface > Brightness settings.

9. In the new properties, have the overflow menu at the top opposite the panel name.

   Feels odd seeing the overflow menu at the bottom, where it almost looks like it's part of the panel above it. Also, by placing it at the top of each panel, this could have space.

    Need More Info  ·  AdminNeeraj Nandkeolyar (Sr. Product Manager, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    When one or more objects of a Layer are selected, the Layer gets highlighted and also indicates a selection. To locate the object in the Layer panel – see if this works. Select the object, click on the Layer panel flyout menu and pick ‘Locate Object’.

11. Allow tool bar to be fixed horizontally on either top or bottom

    Now that the properties has been finally set in the right panel, I love it! This allows me to have the layers set in the left panel. Next step, It would be nice to have the ability to set the tool bar above or below horizontally.

12. Typesetting formulas, mathematical equations and symbols in LaTeX-style

    When typesetting mathematical formulas, LaTeX is the way to go and is the standard in many scientific areas. But a problem arises when mathematical symbols should be used in figures. If these figures are e.g. created in Illustrator, it is always a bit inconvenient to include the symbols in the figure. It is e.g. necessary to render the symbols separately and include them as EPS files in Illustrator or the symbols are added later to the figure by another program.

    It would be really cool to have a build-in feature in Illustrator which would allow direct typesetting in the common LaTeX-style. Ideally, symbols are typed as e.g. \vec{u}_i, the text area is marked as mathematical formula and are then transformed to the proper symbol with a setting for the font to use (e.g. Latin Modern).

    This feature might be realised in a step-by-step way: typesetting symbols in the $$ style is probably the easiest and most beneficial change for the user. Allowing separate equations in the \begin{equation} \end{equation} style would could be the next step.

    I see two main advantages of this feature:
    1. It improves efficiency a lot since it is much easier to include symbols and equations to figures.
    2. It allows to store related content together. The symbols used in a figure are part of the figure, so it is only natural to store both in the same file and edit it with the same program. This makes changes to the figure much easier since everything is located and edited at the same place.

13. Take that light bulb icon that accesses tutorials and push it further...

    Take your tutorial access feature and push it further, make it a customizable recipe resource, not unlike a cookbook.

    • Enable users to save (links to) tutorials relevant to their specific interests AND allow them to bookmark.
    • This idea fits well with all your apps.
    • Explore some ways to encourage users to post accessible tutorials on Adobe Cloud, formatted for this function. That would stimulate your apps community greatly. Example: Zbrush
    Ps. The new properties feature is awesome. Thank you!

    In past versions of Illustrator, I was able to click on an artboard and continuously delete artboards until I had to ones that I want. Now when I select an artboard and delete it, the selection is deselected. I now have to continuously highight and delete, highlight and delete until I have removed all the artboards I need.

16. Add more options to preferences

    Every time you guys change something on these programs it seems to affect me. Most of the time it is not in a good way. I believe this could be solved by allowing the user more options in preferences to turn on and off these options.
    For instance.
    You changed the way the the zoom in and zoom out works. It used to be it would just zoom out directly from where you are but now it zooms out from the object selected which is very annoying.
    I'm sure that works for some people but if it was a preference option they you could set it to your liking.
    I just downloaded the new version yesterday and right off the bat I noticed the align tool does not stay on the align to artboard like it used to. I align constantly when I design and would like the option to change the align to option without it changing on its own to default align to selection.
    Personally I use all the options just would like it to stay on the last selection I made until I change it. This could also be resolved by allowing an option in preferences. I think you should make all options that are changed like these a preference option. That's my two cents.

17. Dedicated buttons for Undo, Delete, Redo

    Dedicated buttons for Undo, Delete, Redo.
    Either at the top or on a floating toolbar. I'm sick of having to go to the keyboard or:
    Edit > Undo
    Edit > Clear
    Edit > Redo
    Sure I could use keyboard shortcuts — but I don't want to.
    Virtually every other program has these buttons.
    It cannot be hard to add them, even if only in that new properties panel.
    You have to assume its bloody mindedness on Adobes part, continuing not have this basic feature and thinking everyone gets a thrill out of Command Z

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for this feedback. This has been avialble since June 2020 release (version 24.2). Further, when you’ll select a single object/group, Align To setting will default to Align To Artboard.

    Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback.
