Let us toggle rendering by artboard
Everything is sooooooo slow! I know there are a million "tips" on how to speed it up but even with a high-end desktop, complex artwork on multiple boards kills illustrator.

Stop the over Writing of SVG vs Illistrator File saves
I work with a laser cutter which uses SVG files. Whenever I SaveAs "svg" the file/program I'm working on now turns into said svg save.
Id like it to stay as it's Illustrator file self so once I'm done making edits I can just save as normal. Currently when ever I save as an SVG I have to go Save As again and overwrite/replace the Illustrator file I'm working on. I've ran into issues before where if I do this too many times it sort of corrupts the ability to save as a SVGs.
Would like the feature where in…

Make the Free Transform tool respect the pattern-transformation hotkey.
With every other transformation tool in Illustrator, you can hold down the `/~ key to affect just the pattern applied to the shape - the Rotate, Scale, and Shear tools, dragging it around with one of the Selection arrows, bumping it around with the arrow keys.
But not with the Free Transform tool. The Free Transform tool doesn't know about this switch that every other tool has. Probably because it was implemented long after the others, and nobody involved in it knew about this behavior.
Today I got to explain this to yet another a new user who wanted to…

It would be nice if you with pinch to zoom you could rotate canvas. It would make the app feel more fluid with its controls.

Pattern... don't expand effects (example transform & symbols)
The new repeat function remains editable in patterns!!! (this is great), but transform effects & symbols get expanded. Keeping these from not getting expanded/flattened would be great.

Content of Library assets do not show in Outline Mode
The content (paths, type, etc.) of Library assets do not shot in Outline Mode (CMD+Y).
This makes them difficult/impossible to work with precisely or in complicated artwork.

Make Smart Guides work with Library assets
Precise work with Library assets is difficult/impossible because it's treated differently by Smart Guides/snapping than normal artwork.
- Object Highlighting only shows a Library asset's edge/container, not its contents
- Anchor/Path Labels are not displayed on placed Library assets
- It's not possible to grab/move placed Library assets based on its content's paths or anchors, making it impossible to place precisely

Make Smart Guides work consistently with Symbols
Precise work with Symbols is difficult/impossible because it's treated differently by Smart Guides than normal artwork.
- Anchor/Path Labels are not displayed on Symbol-ized artwork
- It's not possible to grab Symbol-ized artwork by a path segment (only anchors) making precise alignment impossible

An option to display the background artwork when using Free Distort effect
As an example: Effects > Distort & Transform > Free Distort which has a dialogue box where you manipulate the effect but, the preview doesn't show the graphic within the context of your design (attached sample). Because some controls like Free Distort don't have a slider, or mathematical value we can assign, it's very challenging to manipulate the graphic with any contextual accuracy. For this particular effect, and others that have a similar user experience, if there was a live Preview, or a window showing it in context of it's area of the artboard, it would minimize the nudging/adjusting/clicking that…

Effect units bound to global units.
I am working with "mm" most of the time. However, when I use effects, I have to guess the right amount, since those are in "pixel" most of the time.
As an example, feather or blur, and many more.It would be nice if the units would change with the units used in the file.

Character and paragraph options should be deployed more easily in Properties and remain if desired
Hello,
I work in the printing house, and we make labels, our main software in this environment is Illustrator, it lacks a lot of things which are very useful in InDesign or Photoshop and winch cannot be found in Illustrator.
Among these missing I find that the property panel should be improved, for example as for InDesign, the character and paragraph options should be deployed more easily and remain if desired without having to deploy the menu each time you use it.
It also lacks the overprint object option.Sorry I am French and I have google translate translate.
Thank…
