  1. 白色底的文档导出缺少边界 / A way to export an image with canvas color visible when Use Artboard option is disabled

    当画板为白色底时,右键“导出所选项目”,导出的文件没有边界,无法分辨单个项目。
    目前的解决方法是在画板上添加一个有描边的矩形,但是当有多个画板时这个方法会比较麻烦。另外一种方法是每个画板单独导出一张图片,再整合到一个文档里,这样也会增加很多工作量。希望团队能有更好的方案。
    使用场景举例:当给客户提案或预览整体效果时,需要将多个画板同时导出到一个文件(png或jpg),这时如果画板底色为白色,就无法分辨边界。

  3. Modern 3D effects need more control over mapping

    Map art lacks of control. I can't find a right way to place my art along the shape I've created. Previous versions let us place graphics, symbols, along the created shape and play around to find the desired way to make the art. Please add more graphic placement controls for symbols or graphics in 3D shapes.

  4. リンクファイルを見つける際の「すべてに適用」を復活させてほしい

    Ver25にアップデートしたところ、リンクファイルを見つける警告において「すべてに適用」のチェックができなくなっているようです。
    これがないと、全リンクファイルを何百点あろうがひとつづつ選択しなおさないとなりません。
    復活しない限り、ヴァージョンアップは出来ません。

  5. Fix on Crop Mark Position in Save as PDF

    If I select the color bar and page information in Marks and Bleeds, the position of the crop mark will be shifted slightly above the center of the page, so it would be helpful if you could position it at the center of the page.
    Because the distance of the misalignment is so small, it is often overlooked, and when ordering prints online, it is inconvenient because you have to manually adjust the position or remove the color bar and page information before saving the file.

  6. Align objects according to order of selection (first / last)

    Align objects according to order of selection. Simple. No more moving objects forward or back just to align correctly. It is so stupid and I'm sick of it!

  7. Need 'Allow Tool Recording ' feauture in Illustrator's Action Panel

    I'm a graphic designer, digital artist, and traditional painter with over 20 years of experience. As a digital artist and painter, I would like to record my workflow within Illustrator with targeted layers, similar to how Rebelle records only top layers. I would greatly appreciate it if you could implement the tool recording and workflow recording options in Illustrator specifically for particular targeted layers or for all the layers in a project. This would be a great option for all digital artists, as it would save us time in recording and showcasing our work in video form. It's a very…

  8. How to make home page preview transparent background?

    Hello! I am wondering how to change the preview mode on Illustrator's home page to be transparent instead of white. It just started doing this recently and I can't figure out why. It's nothing much but annoying to me.

  9. Padding and margin in Illustrator objects

    It would be interesting to be able to place a margin or padding on objects such as shapes or text, in addition to a magnet system in which you can select what to stick this margin to, it could be vertex or edges.

  10. Hide Numbers Option for Dimension Tool

    Hello,

    I'd like to add the hide option for the numbers. I'm actually doing a floor plan, I want people to input by hand the numbers they see on the design by measuring with the real dimensions and have to hide the numbers by adding a shape over the numbers so people won't get confused with the numbers.

    I think it can come handy also for maths teachers for example, when they want to edit their drawing with a version for students and one for solutions. they can also edit with flying text with X, Y, Z or else for…

  11. Update packaged contents

    To be able to PACKAGE a file and it's contents/fonts is obviously essential, however - this should not be a end to a means. Once you package you file, and then have to make changes to the file you had open (this happens a lot), the PACKAGED contents is now out of date. Could be just the .ai, or .ai and links and fonts.

    Once you've PACKAGED once, there should be an UPDATE PACKAGE function. This should also be implemented in InDesign and Photoshop.

  12. Add common shapes to of illustrator shape tool (heart, banners shields)

    Feels like reinventing the wheel just to get a heart. Have more easily accessible stock shapes and let the user upload more to the shape tool - make a "more" like button.

  13. Add a "move/copy art with artboard" switch to the artboard options, or the main prefs.

    Currently the only place the "move/copy art with artboard" switch exists is a button on the Control bar. I have never liked the Control bar and have hidden it since it was first added to Illustrator back in CS3.

    In my workflow, I almost never want to move/copy art with artboard, and for some reason this switch constantly turns itself back on, so it's extra annoying to have to either lock all my layers, or dig around this part of the interface I never use.

    If I hit return with the Artboard tool selected, I'll bring up the current artboard's…

    PLEASE ensure this is made into an option that can be turned off. We need the dimensions to NOT be live.

  15. Add a basic camera match feature for 3D

    Add a basic camera match feature. I'm trying to make some editable type going over a 3d render for a client who uses Illustrator. It was rendered in C4D with Octane so recreating it in Illustrator isn't going to happen. If I could just draw a few axis lines and then have it match this would make my task MUCH easier.

  16. Rotating 3D object should allow users to choose between local and global space

    I rotate on the X axis with the gizmo, but the input fields for Y and Z all update. So this is a local rotation gizmo translating to a global space field input? Not really that helpful for the user. Stick to local or give us the option to toggle local or global space.

  17. 3D Gizmo needs redesign: rotation feedback and axis color coding

    Gizmo needs to have a re-think. Just open any actual 3D app built in the last 20 years for tips. It gives no feedback. I rotate something, and it looks the same. it should orient itself to the object I'm rotating. Color coding each axis would help too.

  18. Please Fix Image Trace

    Image trace has been fairly low fidelity since I upgraded from CS5 to CC, but in the last few years especially I've noticed an extreme downturn in the quality of the basic settings for live trace. In previous versions(CS5, CS6) the basic settings were high quality enough to provide good traces of artwork. I used to be able to live trace type without much of an issue if the image was large enough; I don't even do that now because even if it's set at 1500dpi the type will come in with irregular shapes or curves that should be straight/straight…

  19. Please allow us to search for a specific file when we click into the “My Files” tab

    Having a search bar would save us a lot of time.
    Basically when I want a specific file and I know the name I have to swipe and look thru almost a thousand of my files to find it… if there was a search bar I would be able to type in the project name and access my files in seconds vs 10-15 minutes… I have a lot of projects…

  20. Allow to export empty TGA and TIFF

    1. Windows 10.
    2. Version 28.0.
    3. Exporting an empty file to TGA format.
    4. Illustrator should proceed to "Targa Options" but instead gives a message "Could not write the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop Adapter."
    5. No attachment needed, just open a new document and try to save it as TGA without adding any contents.

    This is an edge case - there are not many cases where you'd want an empty file of a specific resolution, although there are some, and of course in this case you can just make an empty TGA through Photoshop (which I have…
