Save to older version of EPS or AI
CS6 does not appear to allow the user to save to older versions of EPS or AI. Many vendors and designers are still using older versions, and the inability to save to older versions is creating a lot of problems.
3 votesIt should be possible to do so through File > Save As… then select the Format as .ai or .eps, then click Save. In the next dialog select the desired version from CC to Ai3.

Illustrator - Trace image and turn in to an editable path instead of shapes
I would love to be able to take my drawings and use the live trace feature (or maybe even a feature within the Illustrator app??) that would allow me to trace my hand-drawn sketches (on paper) and turn them into line paths instead of outlined shapes. This way, I don't have to trace my images again, once they are in Illustrator. It would be a huge time saver!
3 votesThere are options for image tracing in AI. Extended panel gives you an ability to select Strokes instead of Fills. Tweaking these can help you with that. Please comment back if you think these should be refined.

Save to cloud dialog: files in folder not visible
The new update(s) does not bring back the feature to view files in the folders and in grid view when saving to cloud. This has been causing a lot of problems and inconvenience. Reported few times and have been told that these will be brought back in the next update, but it never did. Frustrating and annoyed.

Advanced Image Trace Results for Cartoon/Comic Book Outline
Hello, I'd like to see enhancements done to the Image Trace feature. I am a cartoonist and draw comics. Whenever I scan my drawings in I see that the digital copies show the outlines rather jagged. I began looking for a way to have the outline show smooth. That's when I found out about Image Trace in Illustrator.
Now the Image Trace feature does smooth out the lines, however, it will merge the lines in a way I'd rather not have. I've tried many different options and have not landed on the exact look I want, unless I first do…

Update / Preview Grid on canvas when the grid and Constrain Angle values change in Preferences, before hitting OK
I use grids all the time and I have to change the grid settings to fit my tasks regularly.
When I do this, the rendered grid updates only when I hit OK, and it makes choosing the step less convenient — if I’m not happy with the resulting grid cell size, I’d have to open Prefs one more, navigate to the section, try again.
Same goes with Constrain Angle — changing it won’t make the grid rotate until OK is hit.
Sure, it’d need a Preview option, to fit the way it works in other dialogs, enabled by default.2 votes -

Change layer thumbnail background so white objects are visible in the Layers panel
Currently, I'm working with white text for a logo design and because the layer thumbnail background is white and the text is also white, it is impossible to see what objects are in my Layers. Illustrator for ipad already has this feature, so why isn't it in desktop?

Proportional Push & Rotate Tool
I’m relatively new to Illustrator, not sure if such a feature already exists, but I’d like to suggest a tool that allows selected objects to be proportionally pushed away from the group’s center point or a custom pivot point — without scaling them — and optionally rotate them around that same point. For rotation, it would be great to have options whether the objects keep their own rotation (independent) or rotate as children following the group’s rotation. Additionally, it would be helpful to allow setting horizontal and vertical movement ratios (e.g., move 1 unit horizontally while moving 0.35 units vertically)…

Bevel tool for Embossed Shapes and Text - Fully interactive
A tool to create a nice 3D-looking edge to an object, making it look raised from the page.
It can raise the object visually, by using the colour of the object and creating light and dark sides to it.
It would be great to be able to change the light direction, light height as well as other parameters such as the type of bevel - round, chiselled, etc. to give your object a physical appearance.
To create the tool with teh possibility to drag handles directly on the object to adjust depth, contrast, and light elevation in real-time.
This would…

Dynamic Dimension Tool
Happy New Year
Just a thought for the upcoming year.
Add the ability to automatically extend the length of a dimension after the dimension is set and have the dimension to adapt to the new measurements.
Currently the measured distance is static, WYSIWYG. Would make placing objects in Illustrator a lot easier.2 votes -
An option to not highlight the active artboard in Trim View
It would be great if the Artboard Display Highlight Color could be hidden when in Trim View. So it doesn't interfere with the visual look of the artwork and yet could be larger in the standard display mode to enable easier workflow.

Recent Color Swatch Used Keybind
In short, a recent color swatch keybind would increase efficiency during creating projects. Currently I am working on a project where I have to use the same colors repeatedly. If there was a keybind to automatically change the color to the most recently used color it would be nice.
Ex. You have to type out a text on a card and you want to change the color of certain words quickly without having to go into the swatches board and having to highlight.
Instead of that you could:
Use a color once
Highlight the new uncolored text
Do a keybind…2 votesThis can be achieved with Actions panel. It allows to record certain operations and assign F-key-based shortcuts to call them later faster.

Allow to manually sort and rename Variable Stroke Width profiles
It would be great if we had the ability to manually sort VSW profiles.
For now the only way to do it is to delete all the native ones and carefully name your own (and the UI doesn’t offer us to change the name of a profile later).

Guys, why don't you have a "Behance Project" on the New document screen? This should help a lot.
