  1. Just fix the issues

    My app is laggy at times , when I erase a stroke , the precious stroke sometimes stays . When I go layer to layer to layer it’ll stay frozen on the previous layers actions .

  3. Create Droplets like in Photoshop

    Illustrator has actions and even a "Batch" for actions. However doesn't seem to be a "Create Droplet" option like Photoshop.

    This would be very useful for people who need to do repetitive tasks (in my case a quick and dirty Image Trace on multiple files very often)

  5. I'd like the ability to import .spsm files to Materials.

    When taken from Illustrator to a community-created assets page, there are tons of .spsm files and only a few .sbsar files. The .spsm files are the ones that I like, but I can't use them in Illustrator.

  6. Add a way for us to scale multiple fonts at the same time.

    For example, I'm working on a document and I have a header, sub-headers, and paragraph text that are all different font sizes. I would like for there to be a way to incrementally, increase all fonts selected, no matter the selection.

    Also, incrementally increasing/decreasing a group of fonts that are selected along with other layers should have no effect on other layers.

    A prime example of where this feature would be useful is if I were designing a report or a table and I want to increase the font size in the header and line items without selecting each layer…

  7. Fix annoying save bug after adjusting UI preferences

    I just encountered an annoying save bug that caused me to lose 90 minutes of work in Illustrator. Here is the sequence of events:

    •  I opened an existing document in AI, with the intention of changing it and saving as something else.

    • I opened preferences and made a minor UI adjustment (tweaked the size of my tool bar).

    • Dialog #1 stated that changes will not occur until you restart AI. Would you like to restart? Yes/No.

    • I selected YES (without thinking), under the assumption that I would be given the option to 'save as.'

    • Dialog #2…

  8. Nix the Stupid Blue Share Button

    Get rid of the stupid giant blue "Share" button in the toolbar. It's very distracting because it looks like I constantly have a notification. And I will never use it. We've been all through this with Acrobat already!

  9. Allow Illustrator Cloud Documents to be Placed in Other Adobe Applications

    Since the new updates with the cloud have been happening, Illustrator pushes you to save into the cloud and buy storage for said cloud... The only issue is the clouds documents only work with Illustrator.

    It would be nice to link/place these cloud files into an InDesign document/project or Photoshop etc. Especially with workflows using IPads. The way the cloud is right now almost makes the cloud pointless for many professional users.

    Workflow is essential, so if you update something and try pushing it, at least make it work across all areas, not just one. I understand this is still…

  11. alt click swatches to add colors to a selected gradient

    With a gradient object selected, it would be much quicker to alt click swatches from the swatch panel to add to current selection

  12. Diacritic Positioning

    To add Diacritic Positioning Rules preset options (similar to InDesign) in the Middle Eastern features.

    It'd be handy when dealing with Arabic fonts that have their diacritics off, especially when dealing with paragraphs, instead of doing it manually.

  13. Adobeカラーテーマの復活

    illustrator内にあった、「Adobeカラーテーマ」の復活を希望します。
    WEB上で見ることはできますが、アプリ内に組み込んでほしいです。

  15. Scale Calligraphic Brush - create new brush option

    If you scale a path item with 10 pt stroke at 200%, you will get a path item with a 20 pt stroke. Note, the "Scale Strokes & Effects" option is enabled.

    However, if a calligraphic 3 pt brush is scaled 200% (with a default stroke weight of 1pt and "Scale Strokes & Effects" enabled) the result will produce a calligraphic 3 pt brush with a 2pt stroke. Visually the brush stroke will appear bigger but the path item is still connected to the 3 pt brush.

    Can we add a feature that will create a new brush based on…

  17. Make the shear tool work as it does in InDesign

    InDesign shearing is superior because you can see where an item's angle is and change it at any time. The best part, however, is that you can extend the sides or resize the sheared shape and it retains the correct angle, allowing you to reuse assets much more easily.

  18. UI Scaling for Macs without 1920 x 1080 resolution (on a MacBook Pro 13" M1)

    Hello, I would like to have UI scaling for smaller Macs that do not have or meet the resolution listed (ie 1920 x 1080).

    I am on a 13" Mac and it is difficult to see my toolbars at its current size and don't have a solution to improve it. This feature would aide in stronger accessibility to those who have vision impairment or challenges. Thank you for considering this change.

  19. Search for tools by name when editing the toolbar

    When editing the tools that are in the toolbar we are confronted with a big panel full of tools. The recent update that categorizes them and allows for a grid view is very helpful. However, I still find myself scrolling down and up trying to find the particular tool I would like to add to the toolbar because it's so easy to miss it. If there were a little search bar at the top where we could type the name of the tool we are trying to locate to pair down the options it would be a much nicer/quicker experience.

  20. ArcGIS plugin for 2021 and 2022 (Macs)

    Adobe CC doesn't allow installing Illustrator versions prior to 25.4 and this plugin requires 24.0 to run. Latest update removed my prior version and I can't recover it. This plugin is critical for my day to day work. Please upgrade the plugin on Macs as soon as possible! Thank you.
