export for screens, select: none
When I 'Export for Screens' and have loads of artboards I can select 'All' as a checkbox.
It would be good to be able to select none - instead of clicking the dozen or more select boxes to un-select artboards.
This would save heaps of time - its annoying not to have it.14 votes -

Is it possible to apply Fisheye lens effect in Adobe Illustrator as in Freehand MX? Adobe Illustrator has some features, but not as effective as Freehand.

Rotation and reflection when selecting an object
When I have an object selected (left mouse is pressed down), I want to press the space bar to rotate it. This might rotate anticlockwise by 90° (so I would press the space bar three times to rotate the object clockwise by 90°). You could make the rotation angle 45° to be aligned with rotating and holding the shift key.
Also, while the object is again selected, if I press the X key, the object is reflected horizontally; pressing the Y key reflects it vertically.
These key strokes have been in use on another software program that I have used…

Rotate artboard with all objects, when the orientation of artboard changes or directly on canvas
It's possible to rotate the artboard, but the objects are still on their old positions.
I found the is a button to bind artboard and objects for MOVING the artboard together. Why does that not work for rotation?In the mean time I have written a small JavaScript to solve this: https://www.behance.net/gallery/125369255/Javascript-for-Illustrator-RotateArtboard
I hope, we can use a rotation of an artboard with it's objects soon in AI.

Display Animated GIFs while designing
I am a video editor so many of the things I design involve animated GIFs. It would be incredible to have a display option to see GIFs play inside of a document, to help design layout.
Thanks!

Please make TABS easier to use.
Please make TABS easier to use. It's so fiddly trying to get the bottom arrow to pull across for indented bullet list alignment.

Seamless pattern creation
Once you have an illustration completed, you can double, triple, etc, the image you created as they automatically line up in columns once you decide to double (for a seamless pattern) the illustration, image, or 3D assets. Once you start to manually place the duplicated layer you pull the asset to one side of the art board. You want the pattern to have 1/4th of the image going off the art board. The 1/4th section that is going off of the art board (.let’s say on the right side for this example) automatically (almost magically) has the missing section hanging…

Pin valuable layers to top of layer stack
Being able to pin a certain layers which I use alot to the top of the stack would be useful to me. Would save scrolling to find those layers.
When new layers are created, pinned layers would still appear at the top. 😁

@2x Retina pixel preview needed
Designing for high resolution displays is still cumbersome in Illustrator as there is no pixel-preview for retina displays. Please add an option to preview artwork as it displays on high resolution monitors.

Magic Grid
Hi!
I would like to have a new tool: a kind of semi-elastic placement aid. Our team designs packagings and often has to adapt layouts to new die cuts, so objects often have to be moved, but must not change in size themselves. Sometimes a logo exists in three different sizes, which must be chosen depending on the total height. In addition, they must adhere to minimum distances, which may also not be scaled. However, the design often follows a grid, e.g. a logo must be on the vertical at 5/13 of the total height. So I imagine a kind…

Please restore the DXF import capabilities as it behaved in previous versions up to V25.0.1
In version 25.0.1 and prior, the DXF import command worked, now it does not. Please restore this functionality. Thanks.

Cloud file Versioning
I know this would be a huge lift, but cloud file versioning would be great. Beyond the obvious workflow advantages, it could facilitate working with cloud documents offline and syncing later without risking clobbering what's in there or attempting any sort of complex and error-prone diffing process.

When preferences are changed by user, make them permanent so they do not revert back!
What is the point to setting preferences in your application when the app will just default back to original settings when reopened?
Make preferences permanent once set until user changes them.4 votes -
Auto white spaces detection in the edge of Artboard!
Make auto detect tool that can notify you when there is a white space in the edges of the Artboard. It would be great tool, most designers are not aware that the background is not fully filled the artboard! or the image size is not exactly fit the artboard!
Thank you

Using the character window.
When trying to alter pre-typed text, changing using Font Family menu in character window works, but changing using Font Style menu does not (the window states that it has changed, but the preview does not show the change)Operating System: Mac OS 11.4

Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Tab Indent. Just like Indesign. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Setting Tab Indents with bullet points, like InDesign.
Being able to tab, set measurement and line up paragraph indents.We need this because there are times when we do packaging/signs that have bullets that need tab indents that are controllable and that line up to the text on the next line.
Shortcut = Command + | (set line indent)
Every designer has wanted this for decades.
