Make technical drawing possible
I would like to have some features of CAD programs, like fusion 360.
For example the extensions of path. I would like an option to extent lines, like a straight line, or an oben circle, or ....1 vote -

I'm trying to illustrate realistic illustrations of objects with shading but it's pretty hard whenever I try to make a shade effect but yeah.

A 'snapshot' feature, similar to After Fffects
I use After Effects 'Take snapshot' feature (Shift + F5) all the time. I always go to use it in Illustrator, but it's not here. It would be very handy for referencing changes or states.

Multiple Libraries Open and Docked at the same time...
Right now we can only have 1 library open at once in illustrator. Please make it so we can have multiple libraries open at the same time similar to the way we can have multiple swatch libraries open at the same time...

3D from Illustrator to CC library via obj format (to after effects)
Hey there. Don't know if anyone here also follows After Effects news, but they just added something pretty cool :
Support for OBJ import from Libraries
Now import OBJ 3D model files from your Libraries into your compositions
In addition to GLB and GLTF, the capability to add 3D model files from your Libraries into your composition is now extended to OBJ 3D model file format. You can add OBJ 3D models to your Creative Cloud Libraries from Adobe Stock, your local system, or your After Effects projects.

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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.

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.

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.

GUIDELINES
Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
Please and thank you! xoxoTL;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…1 vote -
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.

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!

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.12 votes
