  1. Object > Repeat > Mirror needs Snapping

    When using the handles in the viewport, snapping is not available. Snapping would make all of the "Object > Repeat" functions much more useful.

  2. Space or area to collect ideas, a scrapsheet, like Playbook

    Sometimes when creating, brainstorming is a step! So an area for us to put our ideas while working on an idea would be cool. Maybe a tab to place items we could add, like a "shelf" with items we'd like to use on multiple places. I know you have the library right now, but there's a site called Playbook where projects can be organized, it would be great if it was something like this for Adobe rather than a third party.

  3. Ability to shift and organize projects on the Home screen

    Sometimes I want organize projects not based on time I worked on it or name, but just what I would like to be at the top, so I would like the freedom to move them around freely rather than having them restricted to those two choices.

  4. Preview of the Artboard Sizing

    If we could see what the sizing of the artboard would look like before we click the create button, because sometimes it's just easier to test there before starting an entire new document! :)

  5. Remove all references to websafe palette

    The websafe colour palette has not been relevant for over two decades. You might as well support Macintosh bitmap fots if you’re going to include support for the websafe palette.

  6. Drag-and-drop Glyphs to Symbols

    Sort of niche QoL, but it could be great to be able to drag glyphs from the Glyphs panel onto the Symbols panel to create a new symbol automatically. The resulting symbol size could be a ratio based on a preset height or width, set as a preference or panel option, or entered at creation via. a modal.

  7. Under Filter > Texture: Please add another slider to size the grain particles in the filter.

    You can create a grain effect but cannot size the grain itself.

  8. GUIDELINES

    Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
    Please and thank you! xoxo

    TL;DR
    We all know math is the basis of all good design work. (Critical for branding) I can't count the number of times I've messed up manual diagonal spacing. It's a sticking point for me, especially when working on deadline.

    Being able to set up a template of guidelines (in the same way that "workspaces" functions) could be beneficial for different types of jobs.

    Other things that would be nice:
    -Golden Ratio guideline (also Branding essential)
    -Colour of guidelines matching layer colour (much more helpful than…

  9. Date of last modification of artboard

    It would be great for everyone who makes document with multiple rounds of revisions to have a feature that will keep track of last date and time of modifications.

  12. Add a triangle to the shapes tool apart from the star.

    I'd LOVE if there was a triangle tool other than using the star tool to make it easier and quicker. I make a lot of signs with arrows and it'd be SO nice. THX!

  14. Allow to close Perspective Grid widget with any tool active, not only with Perspective Tools

    MANY users don’t know how to disable Perspective Grid.

    They don’t know about the View > Perspective Grid > Hide Grid menu command, and don’t even try to search for it, because they think that little 'x' is the only way to hide it...

    ...but that button only works when you have Perspective Grid Tool or Perspective Selection Tool picked, and does nothing when you have some other tool chosen.
    The button never looks deactivated and lie to us about being clickable.
    This modality makes zero sense.
    Please allow to click it any time with any tool.

  15. 白色底的文档导出缺少边界 / A way to export an image with canvas color visible when Use Artboard option is disabled

    当画板为白色底时，右键“导出所选项目”，导出的文件没有边界，无法分辨单个项目。
    目前的解决方法是在画板上添加一个有描边的矩形，但是当有多个画板时这个方法会比较麻烦。另外一种方法是每个画板单独导出一张图片，再整合到一个文档里，这样也会增加很多工作量。希望团队能有更好的方案。
    使用场景举例：当给客户提案或预览整体效果时，需要将多个画板同时导出到一个文件（png或jpg），这时如果画板底色为白色，就无法分辨边界。

  17. Calculate surface area with Dimension tool

    With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?

    Under Review  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

    If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

  18. Allow to set up Viewing options for PDF exported, like InDesign does

    Do you think we could have Viewing options added as implemented in InDesign?

  19. Modern 3D effects need more control over mapping

    Map art lacks of control. I can't find a right way to place my art along the shape I've created. Previous versions let us place graphics, symbols, along the created shape and play around to find the desired way to make the art. Please add more graphic placement controls for symbols or graphics in 3D shapes.

  20. リンクファイルを見つける際の「すべてに適用」を復活させてほしい

    Ver25にアップデートしたところ、リンクファイルを見つける警告において「すべてに適用」のチェックができなくなっているようです。
    これがないと、全リンクファイルを何百点あろうがひとつづつ選択しなおさないとなりません。
    復活しない限り、ヴァージョンアップは出来ません。
