Snap to bounding box of symbol
The bounding box of a symbol has anchorpoints. But these are not snappy, alas.
Please make those snap as any other anchor point.

Rasterize multiple objects to separate images at once
It would be great to select multiple objects and apply the rasterize settings to each of them as seperate images in one go.
currently i have to select each object and rasterize them individually. would save a lot of time if there was a checkbox that allowed you to apply it to all of the objects separately instead of rasterizing them together as one big image

Display resolution - custom field in Document Setup and the links panel.
Display resolution should be a custom field in Document Setup and the Links panel, and should set the default scaling of placed images in the document.
Right now, linked or embedded 'RasterItems' have a default scaling resolution of 72ppi, and you can't change it. But 72ppi is an anachronism, it doesn't reflect most use cases.
The impact is that placed images appear in the document much too large, and it wastes a lot of extra clicks to resize placed images. That could all be avoided if there was a simple way to change the default display resolution to match the…

Gradient following the curve of a shape
Don't know if this is an original idea but - is it possible to make an feature to make a gradient follow a user-drawn guideline (like with text on line)..? I tried to illustrate it in the attached file - the first shape is the one that should be filled with gradient, the second one is what we can do now (or mesh but that's a bit complicated) and the third one shows the guideline in purple and arrows that the gradient would follow. So the lower left part of the shape would be let's say darkest, the gradient would…

Advanced Blend Colors Horizontally / Vertically
- make it work with compound paths
- give the user a choice to blend HSB (Blending R and B should give G) e.g. creating a rainbow should be possible with blending colors, but it isn't in the current version.

Remember Kai’s Powertools?
Is there a way you can match what that program used to do? It had a way better vector effects ability to extrude and shatter, etc vector shapes and letters. It worked way better than the 3D function Illustrator has.

Select "Replace" by default once a clipped linked element is selected
This is a very simple fix for something extremely frustrating: once a clipped linked image is selected (using the direct selection tool), the importing option should be to Replace the element by default (instead of having to manually select it EVERY SINGLE TIME). If nothing is selected, the logical default behavior then would have the Replace option unchecked.

File Sharing Notifications
My client and I are making edits to the same file that is being saved/stored in Creative Cloud. We currently notify each other by email or text when we are making edits. Is there any way a feature can be added to post a notification on screen/within the app that the other person is currently editing the file when the other individual logs in or opens the file in order to avoid overwriting each others edits?

Min Stroke width when adding a profile
I have wanted this to be a feature for over a year now.
As many of us know, we can simply add a profile shape to strokes. We can also create our own profiles! The process of creating profiles is not very user friendly in my opinion.
I think it would be a great idea to be able to state which profile you want for your stroke, and then an addition option comes up that gives you 1 extra boxes:
Minimum stroke weight for the stroke profile
Obviously the "max" stroke weight is changed in the "Weight" section already.

Allineamento ad oggetto bloccati
Buonasera,
migliorare la potenzialità di illustrator per quanto riguarda allineare oggetti su oggetti bloccati sarebbe fantastico e performante.
Nell'ambito del mio lavoro usiamo fustelle predefinite.
l'idea sarebbe poter selezionare l'oggetto bloccato sulla tavola disegno o livello template e agganciate/allineare all'oggetto un altro oggetto.
Questo permetterebbe un allineamento veloce e sicuro.
Provo a spiegarlo con l'esempio.L'ideale sarebbe inserire nel pannello "allinea oggetti"
lo strumento allinea a centroQuesto permetterebbe la possibilità con un solo click l'allineamento all'oggetto bloccato
spero di essermi spiegato.
in molti vi ringrazieranno.

Allow docked tool panels to stack one under another
For now a docked tool panel takes the whole column, not matter how short it is. It forces us to clump all custom tools in one panel. Normal panels can stack any way possible.
Please, give us the possibility to dock tool panels in rows too.Also look related request about separators in tool panels:

Use Precision Cursors
I just got a screen tablet. The "Use Precision" cursor is too big. The X gets in my way in the same manner as the brush cursor.
I'd like to see several options aside from just an X. A fine reticle, a simple dot or circle, etc. Additionally, pls incorporate a sizing option for each fine precision icon.

Little display problem with GPU enabled
Hi, I bought an Imac 27" with 5K Retina display.
I noticed that when I zoom some vector shape, the lines are not too clean. They seem like bitmapped. When I click Command+Y (show outlines) and I click it again, the lines appear clean. I uploaded a little video about my problem.
I wrote in Adobe community, they suggested me to turn off GPU Performance. If i do that the images appears fine but Illustrator become too slow.
So they recommended me to report my issue here.
Thanks for your time.

SVG exporting of path points
Illustrator SVG asset exporter doesn't export single-point paths.
My work system reads SVG files' layer and object names as IDs. In these files, I create a single point with the pen tool to use the x,y values as coordinate data. (This object is graphically a Path with a single anchor point.) I'll also create paths with 2 or more points in these files. When I export these objects using the asset exporter, the paths with a single point doesn't get exported, while paths with 2 or more points export successfully. When using SaveAs>SVG it does export the paths with a…1 vote
