An option to enable and use geometric centers for equilateral shapes (polygons)
Please enable the option to use the geometrically correct centerpoint as the intersection of the edge-normals for odd-edged polygons instead of using the "half the height, half the width"-centerpoint, or at least enable it as an option. Drawing the circumference-circle really is annoying.
44 votesHello everyone,
Lately we have been thinking about improving the snapping / smartguide experience on Illustrator and we need your help in this process.
Please spare us some time of yours where we can come together on a online meeting and discuss your needs and pain point around snapping.
Please use this link to book an appointment :

See you soon!

Opening old Freehand files in Illustrator?
Can you guys bring this "feature" to Illustrator?
There are a lot of old Freehand users still having TONS of Freehand files (illustrations, assets, icons, etc.) in their archives waiting for the day when Illustrator will open old Freehand files so we can reuse them once more!
I know this is a lot to ask, but can you guys give it a try?
Ty!

Rearrange only Selected artboards
Currently I can only "Rearrange All Artboards".
But I just selected only some artboards in my document and I want to rearrange only selected items. For example, increase spacing between them.

Effects do not rotate (drop shadow) or scale (e.g: gaussian blur)
If you create a logo and use the drop shadow effect, the values will scale but not rotate.IN packaging design we often rotate the logo for every panel on a carton. After you rotate the logo you must manually change the values to for example get the most popular bottom right drop shadow on all logos.
Gaussian blur can be sued to make a your own drop shadow effect, but that has another problem in that the blur amount will not adjust.
If you search your home or local supermarket, you will eventual find items that went incorrectly to press,…

TouchBar customization
Can you please make available the option to customize the MacBook Pro Touch Bar in Adobe Illustrator. The new MacBook Pro Touch Bar is very useful and handy. The shortcuts that I can use with the Touch Bar save me a lot of time.

Easily move large number of swatches into a CC Library
Companies offer free downloads of their color libraries, typically over 1000 individual color swatches. Currently, each swatch has to be moved one-by-one into a library. It's extremely time consuming and tedious. I have talked to numerous customer service agents and there is no satisfactory work around.
Create an easy way to transfer numerous color swatches at once into a library (which allows for use of the search bar feature). Using CCD > your work > upload does not work either.

Allow to filter files in Recent menu/section to include only AI documents and exclude chosen formats like PDF, JPEG, TIFF, Save a Copy, etc.
RECENT FILES SHOULD IDEALLY BE ONLY AI DOCUMENTS.
If I have exported say 10 jpgs in my previous session, on start-up my RECENT FILES is over-run with those JPG file names. They all have the same thumbnail too. That's outrageous!

Provide an option for making artboard names / numbers visible on the artboard (like when editing artboards)
Provide an option in Adobe Illustrator to show artboard names and/or numbers on the artboard / on top of the artboard (like when editing artboards). This visible naming would greatly help to keep artboards organized in large, multiple artboard files. This would be so helpful!

Open an InDesign file in Illustrator
Need to be able to open an Indesign file directly in AI. No reason to go to pdf and totally destroy the artwork. files are uneditable converting from Id to PDF to AI.

Make a hotkey to go one level up in Isolation mode
It quite frequently needed to go one level up when burrowed in isolation mode.
The only way to do it now — is button, unscriptable, unhotkeyable, mouse only.
Make a hotkey for it, please.42 votes -
3D shadows color and opacity change
3D effects give only a black shadow that makes 3D object's color dirty, greyish. And it looks like 90's 3D effect. Possibility to change the shadow color? Or the shadow color bases on the object's colors and thus makes the diffuse.

Make blend profiles (acceleration) and better blend controls
Blend tool in AI is weak.
Please add acceleration for both attributes and positions for blended objects, as other competitors do.
Remove positioning by Bezier tension, people hardly use it (watch forums), — make separate curve control for it (or at least sliders!)41 votes -
Merge anchor points
I'd like an option to merge two anchor points into one on a shape/path. This would make cleaner paths and objects.

Turn off Snap to Pixel by default for RGB documents
I don't know why this suddenly appeared as a default, but there should be a way to ALWAYS turn off Snap-to-pixel. I have to turn it off every time I open a new file.

Non-breaking space (NBSP) should work
AI ignores NBSP when it's places as symbol. 'No break' option is an option but ridiculously hard to be applied quickly. Anyway NBSP should work
40 votesIllustrator Beta 29.2.10 now supports Nonbreaking space (U+00A0).
It can also be added with Type > Insert WhiteSpace Character > Nonbreaking Space command.
Please try this build and see if it works for you as expected.
My sincere congratulations to everyone. This symbol means a lot!

Display Performance Quality like InDesign (an image proxy capability for large images)
It would be cool to be able to adjust the Display Performance (even if only on placed bitmaps) like InDesign (Fast Display / Typical Display / High Quality Display) in order to gain a performance boost.
