Disable bristle brush warning
Whenever a document contains any bristle brush (or expanded bristle brush strokes) you get a warning when you save the document that it contains complex shapes etc.
Could you please make it possible to completely disable this warning?
I know you can tick "Don't show again in the current session" but that's not enough. The warning pops up again the next time you open the document and working on multiple documents containing bristle brushes gets quite annyoing in the long run.

API for getting the reflection property of a frame/linked image (flip)
A couple of years ago we asked about an API for getting the reflection property of a frame/linked image (flip).
Back then, your answer was that there was no such API.
1. Is that still correct?
2. If it is, can you please add such API to your next release?Thanks,

Right click object to hide that layer/object without opening the Layers panel
Is it possible to create a function with right click object to hide that object or layer? Instead of select object and then hide it in the Layers panel? For some reason I always try to do that though that function doesn't exist.

3D rotation tool like XD and reedit primitive shapes
3D rotation tool like XD please!
And, the option to reedit a primitive shape (like a star for example). Changing the number of points at anytime.
...like Xd already does.
It's sad that I've been asking for this feature since decades, and now, a new software can do it, instead of the "cutting edge" vectorial software...
And, the most ridiculous, inside the same company.2 votes -
I request this program to be brought to 2021 rather than leaving it in the 90s. I hate using this program. It SUCKS
Bring illustrator to a current user format. It is stuck in the 90s. I HATE using it. I use photoshop, AE, etc. All great. Illustrator SUCKS. Can I say that loud enough.....

An ability to lock the order of layers, but not their content
On fixing the hierarchy of layers.
In data with a large number of layers, such as a map, the vertical relationship and stacking order of objects is very important. We are very careful not to make mistakes, but there are times when our hands slip and we end up moving them.
At the moment we can lock objects, but we can always manipulate the vertical relationship of objects.
If there is a lot of demand for the ability to lock the vertical relationship other than mine, I would like to see improvements.1 vote -
Batch apply action to selected items
It strikes me as absolutely bizarre that you can't apply an action to multiple objects in turn. You can batch apply actions to files. You can apply actions to selected objects. You can apply actions to a selected group of objects I think? But you can't batch apply actions to groups of objects. I have about 300 really short little lines in an infographic that I need to be the same length. They're fairly spread out and any anchor selection based approach would take 2 hours. What an incredible hassle.

Vector Importing for Library Assets
I would like the option to be able to import vector CC Library Assets as live vectors (rather than as a link) in Illustrator.
This is a vector editing software.....and the asset I'm grabbing from the library to bring in as a vector asset (and probably originally built in Illustrator).....why can't I have an alternate means (ex. Shift+Drag for import = import as live vector art) to be able to bring the asset in as an editable piece of art?
1 voteYou can right-click on the asset you want to place as live vector and choose ‘Place Copy’ command to do that.

ペンツール使用時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
ペンツール使用時に、コマンドキーをヘ押下した際に、ダイレクト選択ツールに変わるが、他のツールでは問題ないのに、ペンツール時のみ、タブキーでの選択ツール／ダイレクト選択ツールの切り替えができなくなった
CS6の頃は使えていたのは間違い無いのだけども、CCのどこかで使えなくなった
とても使いにくくて悲しいので直して欲しい2 votes -
Object or Group of Object Component
This feature was actually on Adobe XD, where created objects like icons can be made as components, basically users can use a component multiple times, duplicating, copy and pasting to multiple artboards, but can be edited just once and then all the component link will update automatically without updating each object individually.

New artboard adjustable spacing
When the New Artboard button in Control panel is clicked, an artboard is created next to the current one. The spacing between these is not tweakable.
I work in metric units, on 10×10 millimeters grid. The space between artboards’ edges is 7.056mm. Yeah, I know, it’s 20 points, sure, but why should I care about points when units are millimeters? Why can’t I use a value that makes sense to me?
Furthermore, it is dangerously close to 7 and looks like an integer until you check it.
Please, allow to set a spacing manually in Artboard Options or elsewhere —…

Delete all saved selections
There is no way to quickly delete all the saved selections (displayed in the bottom of the Select menu, once you saved them via 'Select > Save Selection...').
You have to do it one by one, which is a torture.Also you can’t just right-click a name of it right there in the menu and say 'Delete' — because you have no context menu for top menu items. You do not like context menus in general.

Clear / Delete recent from Recent files and File > New
As you know, Illustrator keeps exported images in the File > Open Recent Files list.
So if I export 20 TIFs from a single document — they will all will be listed there.This is dumb, and there are multiple requests to stop this:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests?query=recent%20filesThere are also requests to be able to clear that list (guess why there is a need for this).
But we should also be able to remove positions from the list one by one.
Use cases:
1. I renamed a file and now I can’t open it via this menu
2. I moved the file…51 votes -
tabs and text options
Tabulations should be embedded in the tex box and appear only when you press on the box and disappears when you click somewhere else. By default, it should also resize and follow the tex box on screen at all time without requiring you to click on the magnet to put it back where it belong.
Also, the text options of Illustrator are lacking some very useful options that only exist in InDesign. I understand that Indesign is THE BIG SOFTWARE FOR TEXT, but honestly for smaller text oriented documents, I often use Illustrator because it's faster to operate. So, some…

Bring back opt-enter in move dialog
Select art with selection tool, hit enter for move dialog, type in parameters and hit option-enter to duplicate. You removed this feature what feels like a decade ago. Put it back in. btw-I have used illustrator professionally since Illustrator 88.

(1) Multi angled+coloured fills. (2) Shadow casting. (3) Lighting options.
I posted my wishes as an April fool's joke on IG but then realised it may be a possibility after all?
