  1. Allow scroll to zoom in the navigation area

    I have zoom to scroll turned on in the settings but we can't zoom to scroll in the navigation area just the main window. Can you please fix this? Allowing people to choose which way they scroll to zoom in or out would also be nice for accessibility.

  2. The Named Views feature should be expanded for more names, listed alphabetically, and be more easily editable..

    The Named Views feature is under developed. It is useful for complex drawings with several Artboards and many layers. Its functionality can include several categories of the Illustrator program. Attached is a file with several points of improvement.

  4. File > Rename command

    If you saved your file with a typo and want to fix it or to change name in general, you have to save, close, go to the file manager, find the file, rename (and hope Ai has not it locked), open it back (and then have an invalid item in File > Recent).

    It would be so much easier to have a dedicated command for it.

  6. ability to escape when Illustrator "hangs"

    Please give one the ability to get out of a "hang" without force quitting the app. Escape key would be a great place!

    Please consider.

  7. Transform Coordinates - "Copy" and "Paste" buttons with specific order

    We need the possibility of copying the X/Y/Angle/W/H/Shear parameters when selecting a Source shape and paste them in the Transform panel when selecting the Destination shape.
    I recommend always angle is first when pasting, before X/Y/W/H/Shear.
    It is quite strange that since all of these CC iterations, this has never been covered. It is quite awqward to introduce numbers and many decimals by hand and not having a possibility to do it quickly.

    Thanks for the consideration!

  8. B2B Branding

    Business to commercial enterprise (B2B) companies are one-of-a-kind from enterprise to client (B2C) organizations, so it makes experience that their advertising, advertising and marketing, web site design, and so forth. Can be exclusive from B2C variations. Yet, topics are some thing with the intention to be vital for both types of businesses.

  9. Hello Everyone,

    Hello Everyone, I am using Illustrator 25.0.1 version which I updated recently from 25.0, 2021 version. During work I have noticed a small problem in Layers option. First when I copy some artwork from one file which is SPLIT in different LAYERS to another file it does not give me the same SPLIT layers in the new file but put it only in one layer instead.
    Second : If I have given a name to some layer of the Artwork suppose Layer A when I paste the same in new file or another file it does not give me the…

  11. Pan and zoom on multiple artboard at once

    Hi,

    I am wondering if there is a way to locate and zoom all open windows at the same time in illustrator. Like in compare window in Lightroom. When you zoom and pan over the image, it helps you compare and spot the difference. I am in packaging and sometimes i am using the same diecut and artwork, but different product. i would love to pan and zoom over the artworks on multiple windows to compare and spot the difference.

  13. Nuance de ton direct

    Il serait utile de pouvoir créer une nuance "ton direct" réunissant plusieurs tons direct en pouvant sélectionner le pourcentage de chaque nuance, pour éviter de faire une superposition d'objets en surimpression. Un peu de la même manière qu'avec le nuancier quadri, mais avec des tons directs : le même objet pourra attaquer plusieurs séparations avec une trame différente.
    ex : 877 à 100% + Reflex blue à 5 %

  14. Save 'Find and Replace' searches

    Have an option to save input searches in the Find and Replace box. Then make it possible to load those searches when needed.

    This would prevent entering the same searches day in and day out.

  15. Add grep/regex to Find and Replace feature

    We really need some kind of grep or pattern matching in the Find and Replace dialogue.

    I don't expect it to be InDesign-level functionality, but after all this time even rudimentary grep would be a blessing.

    Maybe the Bridge regex could be adapted to Illustrator somehow...

  16. I loathe this 2021 update

    There are so many issues with this update. I'm not even sure where to start. Functions that were always present are now gone. This is seriously messing with my speed and efficiency. What a mess!

    Where did the free transform function go? When I'm using the selection/direct selection tools, the anchor points for resizing are gone. PUT THEM BACK!

    Key commands aren't working properly. Example: Command C > command F should paste in place, but NOT duplicate. I've spend stupid amounts of time trying to figure out why the **** I have extra boxes.

    There are more, but these are…

  17. Make the steps in the tutorial match the actual steps a person would take to achieve the finished product.

    The steps described in the tutorials do not match the actual steps taken in order to achieve the end product. My guess is this is to frustrate those who take advantage of the 7-day free trial into purchasing the monthly or yearly subscription. I think that stinks. How can a person judge whether or not they want to subscribe to the monthly or yearly plan if they can't even manage the tutorials? If your user menus have changed within the application, then the tutorials need to be updated to reflect this.

  18. Opening menu customization workflow

    As an option for those starting out with Adobe Illustrator, I would like to see you develop a master menu setup process to help me find all the tools I may need for my project. It could begin by asking me/allowing me to select from a list all the things I will want to do with a new project or a newly-opened image file, Adobe or otherwise.
    Those tools and options selected would appear in a dock-able menu window.
    Then, based on known user workflows of different experience levels, Illustrator could recommend additional tools and even tutorials for the different…

  19. Tool Bar exportable.

    Serait il possible de pouvoir exporter ses Barre d'outils perso?
    Comme les espaces de travail il serait pertinent de pouvoir sauvegarder ses paramétrages d'interface pour les récupérer d'une version à l'autre, ou d'une machine à l'autre (changement d'ordinateur, ou de plateforme).
    Ce serait également pratique dans le cas de la perte des Barres d'outils de base quand Ai ne les retrouve plus.

    Merci
    Bonne Année

  20. Mobile Banking to Pay for Illustrator & Reduced fees based on country specific financial status.

    Countries like Bangladesh faces a situation where using cracks is the standard practice. And as a Bangladeshi I would like to put two requests:

    1. Reduce prices depending on geocultural financial status. In Bangladesh, 4$ - 5$ would be a standard price.

    2. Keep options of using local mobile banking services to pay for adobe subscriptions. In Bangladesh the most popular is "Bkash".

    If you consider my suggestions, your revenue would increase for sure. And people like me would not be forced to use *****.
    Thanks.
