  1. 寸法ツールの補助線を付けない

    寸法表示を｢付けない｣モードが欲しいです。

    現状では｢補助線を隠す｣項目がありますが、アピアランス分割して非表示オブジェクトの解除をすると補助線が現れてしまいます。

    作成する図面の都合上、補助線があると困るので｢隠す｣ではなく｢付けない｣選択肢が欲しいです。

  2. Allow to create a new file from a selection on canvas or Layers

    Can't create new files from layers or groups, gotta select everything and create a file, instead of just creating an artboard from by the file dimensions copied.

  3. "Show me the offending object" button in the appearance error dialog for [IABD] and [!out] errors

    I really would kinda love it if there was a "Show me the offending object" button on the "Error processing appearance" requestor next to the "OK" button.

  4. Eliminate the 2 different size canvas modes

    There are scaling issues in large size canvas mode. For instance, when creating a file in large size canvas mode and saving as PDF with trim marks, the trim marks will be scaled up 1000%. Instead of them remaining .375", they scale up to 3.75" (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44115801)

    Additionally, several third party plug ins do not work properly in large size canvas mode because of this scaling issue.

    Ideally, Illustrator should eliminate the 2 different canvas modes and simply allow any document to be scaled up to the same dimensions as "large size canvas" mode but leave all scaling as…

  5. Request: Add Custom Font Sizes to Text Size Dropdown in Illustrator

    It would be great if Adobe Illustrator allowed users to save custom font sizes (such as 150pt, 200pt, etc.) to the default text size dropdown in the Character panel. Currently, while you can manually enter large font sizes, they don't appear in the dropdown for future use. Allowing custom sizes to be added to the dropdown would save time, improve workflow consistency, and make working with large text sizes more efficient. Thank you for considering this feature!

  7. View Transparency Grid only in artboards

    Like other users I've encountered here, I find the whole-window Transparency Grid to be a significant distraction. It'd be helpful to be able to at least opt to show the grid only within artboards, and even better to toggle the grid for specific artboards (see screenshot).

  8. Custom marquee shapes for Direct Selection tool like circle, star, rectangle, etc.

    The Direct Selection tool would follow the logic of creating an individual shape. A marquee that can be scaled, moved and also rotated live would be a awesome feature.

  9. Put Apply to Selected button into Dimension Tool Options dialog

    At the moment we can edit existing selected dimensions using Control or Properties panel (except for Scale!)

    But if one chooses to open Dimension Tool Options dialog, all the settings won’t be applied to a selection, these would alter only dimensions created AFTER.

    I’d like to have another button here, to allow me to apply chosen settings to what I have selected already, or perhaps even to All, similar to the Properties-only quick action button (this and others there should also be available via Object > Dimension menu the team 'forgot' to add: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378)

    And so you know —…

  10. Allow dimensions to be editable

    It would be nice if the dimensions and lines were editable.
    I generally build to scale because the dimensions of my projects to size are too big for the artboards and contain several larger elements. Having to enlarge each piece in order to get the proper measurements is time consuming and inconvenient. Being able to edit those would make things much easier. I have a script that can do it, but the tool would be better.

    Latest builds of Illustrator allow to edit most of created dimensions using Properties and Control panels.

    The tool dialog sets options for new dimensions only and does not have a button to apply the set options to selected or all dimensions on canvas. If you wish to have a button like this in the dialog, please upvote this request.

    If you have other weak points to point out — please comment or make a new request / report.

  11. Illustrator Share For Review | "Actual Size" Page View

    In share for review, the previews allow the viewer to change the page view to “Fit Window Width” or “Fit Full Page” in the lower-right corner.

    We need an “Actual Size” view setting. It would solve issues such as unwanted enlargement of small designs and checking details on large designs.

    BONUS: The ability to select a default view in our Share For Review settings would be the icing on the cake!

  12. Allow to assign several colors as transparent for Image Trace

    Currently Image Trace allows to pick one color to ignore and replace it with full transparency. Perhaps some users might need to pick more than one color.
    UI in other places offers to setup several color chips, seems like a consistent move to allow the same here.

  13. Predictive text and optional ai copy adapted to text box design sizes

    I would like to have predictive text, while I write it can complete the word like it happens in my phone.
    Also once you have my copy done, have a menu to have other copy options, translations and changes of copy adapted to cover more or less space in my design.

  14. Add more modifier keys for Control bar to show alternate color UI

    Currently the behavior of the Color UI in Properties is broken:
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48691379

    Clicking the swatch drop down opens the different swatch color options.
    Please update with these shortcut key options:
    Shift + clicking the swatch drop down opens the Color Mixer options.
    Option + clicking the swatch drop down opens the gradient options.
    Command + clicking the swatch drop down opens the pattern options.

  15. Separate "Ask when opening" settings for color mismatches

    We have a large team that's constantly opening previous projects. The print team is separate from the video team.

    For the video team, the CMYK profile is sort of irrelevant, but the RGB isn't.

    Is there a way to have Illustrator tell about only RGB color mismatches when opening the file, and just preserve CMYK?

    Basically, I'd like to have the result of "Ask when opening" different for CMYK and RGB.

    That way the team can keep a policy of preserving CMYK without getting a popup every time, but act only RGB profile mismatches.

  16. Puppet Warp should respect existing layer structures.

    I love Puppet Warp but I hate having to ungroup my paths and put them back in the layer structure that works for me when I'm done using Puppet Warp.

    Please do whatever needs to be done so that I can grab a bunch of paths about multiple layers, Puppet Warp them, and have them stay in the same place they were before I did this. I'm fine if it's a switch in the tool's settings because some people love this behavior.

  17. Please figure out how windows work. AI app window keeps on getting obstructed and out of focus

    my idea, is that the app window is "in focus" as soon as you touch any part of it. Being no web app can obscure it — which it does on the daily. Webex, Chrome and even Safari feel free appearing on top of my AI window. Ma dudes. Tell me I am not the 1st one to notice.

  18. The Reflect tool should respect stroke variable width and Use Preview Bounds option

    The original idea by Johan Perjus, from https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/things-i-wish-adobe-would-address-with-adobe-illustrator-4796a89e1bae

    Notice how the thicker stroke width moves to the outside of the circle when using the reflect tool, meaning that the reflect tool currently does not take the stroke width in consideration when performing a reflect (or mirror). One therefore have to manually edit the stroke width after using the tool in order to achieve a truly reflected version of the object.

  19. A proposal to fix the mess that is Preferences > Units

    The original idea by Johan Perjus, from https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/things-i-wish-adobe-would-address-with-adobe-illustrator-4796a89e1bae

    Units of measure settings are a mess right now, units can be set for General, Stroke and Type on a “global” level under Illustrator > Preferences, but “General” are overridden by Unit settings on document (local) level, however it does not apply to, nor can it be changed for Stroke and Type on document level. Thus adds a lot of unnecessary back and forth visits to Preferences > Units if you are working with delivery for different mediums (who isn’t?) print, web, motion graphics and so on, add multiple markets to that…

  20. Allow for negative value input and Option click with Line Segment Tool

    The original idea by Johan Perjus, from https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/things-i-wish-adobe-would-address-with-adobe-illustrator-4796a89e1bae

    As you may know, holding down the Option key and clicking on your artboard with any of the shape tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star) creates the shape centered on where you clicked, as opposed to the right and down from where you clicked. Please also apply this function to the Line Segment Tool as well as allow for negative value input in order to create the line in the opposite direction of the current angle value, just as you can enter a negative value to move an object in the opposite direction…
