Library disappear glitch
Had this issue in the past and it still comes up. Libraries disappear from my workspace when I click tab or some combination of keys that I'm not sure of. Before, I used to have to shut down Ai altogether but at least now I can go to the drop down menu to retrieve them. This shouldn't happen in the first place though.

Global colour groups from Recolor Artwork dialog box
Am requesting that the Adobe Illustrator team should introduce an option to output colour groups as Global or non-global colour swatches when creating / editing / saving colour groups in Recolor Artwork dialog box.
Am requesting this addition because I mostly favour using Global colours over non-global as this speeds up my work when I am doing colour edits. It becomes so frustrating when editing an existing colour group made up of Global colours using the Recolor Artwork dialog box as the colour groups generated from it only output as non-global.

I have hundreds of ideas, I have been working with Illustrator every day since version 1 but you never implement my ideas
I have hundreds of ideas, I have been working with Illustrator every day since version 1, like 10 hours on most days but you never implement my ideas.
Here are three more.
Include an option to render lines around the artboards or not, currently I have to go over my complete layout and trace every artboard becouse they don't render and leave my artwork borderless.
When I save for web but hit enter to soon a dialogue box opens up under the web preview and I am unable to close the window without force the program to restart.
Often when…

the arc effect should be applied to the clipping mask not the original object
When working with a large image that has a clipping mask, and then an arc effect is apply to the clipping mask, the effect is recognizing the large image, and it takes the dimensions of the large image to create the result. instead of focusing on the mask only.

Import AI smart objects as vectors
If you have a smart object that is a vector (say an .ai file) for use in Photoshop, if you later export the PSD file back to AI, all the smart objects get rasterized including vector smart objects. It would be better if they are converted back to vector (except maybe in situations where they have effects or masks).

Simple navigation in the structure of objects.
Simple navigation in the structure of objects.
Finishing the code of this great idea would be an exit to a new quality of work and management of objects during creation.
- Add a drop-down list to each column in this bar. For example, clicking on layers causes the layer tree to be highlighted in the document stack.
- Editing object / layer / group name from this level.
- Layer menu in this bar.
- Clicking on the first left arrow "Leaving group" simulation of the ESC key operation at this level of work with the object.
Best Regards!

Align to Artboard is set as default
Align to Artboard is automatically set to default, even after changing the toggle to Align to Selection.
It used to work that whichever you selected, that selection would remain. But now, it always switches back to Align to Artboard. Very frustrating.

Alignment marks for Screen print
Is there any way you can add a feature that would allow a novice screen printer the option to select a center mark and bleeds?

Menu View - New View - Rotate View
Hi,
If the option of rotating Artboard is too difficult in Illustrator, maybe it is easier to create "rotated views"?
When working with packaging, the inability to rotate the view of the packaging walls while working in one document is really a prehistory of creative work. In a professional program, this must be resolved by the Adobe Customer Support Team.
Thank you everyone for the current effort.

Larger preview images in .ai files
When an .ai file is saved, an image of all the active artboards is saved in the file. The OS (Mac or PC) uses this to provide a PREVIEW of the contents of the .ai file.
(a) This preview is terribly small, and displays as a small thumbnail instead of a useful image of the file contents. It appears to be a tiny bitmap, but it's so small it doesn't do much good at revealing what's in the file.
(b) The preview also displays everything visible on the pasteboard, including graphics that is not on any artboard. Since the preview…

scale tool doesn't work in make pattern
The scale tool currently does not do anything within pattern mode. Maybe this worked in previous versions, but would like to see all tools working within pattern mode on future updates

Perspective Tool and Strokes.
I've recently gotten into the Perspective Tool in a big way. My only problem is that STROKES' don't conform to Perspective. I've worked around this by converting the stroke into a fill using OBJECT > PATH > OUTLINE STROKE. It gets the job done, but I lose all that "strokey" goodness. Can a button be added somewhere to "Allow Strokes To Be Effected By Perspective?"

Get rid of calligraphic brush size preview that is attached to the cursor.
I absolutely HATE the annoying brush preview that follows the brush cursor around with the calligraphic brushes!!! It is totally distracting and completely unnecessary. I looks like a classic example of fixing something that already works. Could you at least make it so it can be turned off? Thank you.

Randomize roughen effect
When using the "roughen" tool, it's rare that I want it to be a consistent roughened edge. Assuming that many of us use this tool to introduce controlled chaos to a path, I think a "randomize" toggle (primarily for detail, as it appears size is already random) with parameters for widest gap and shortest gap between points would remove the process of roughening at a high density then painstakingly using the "smooth" tool to create variance.

Auto guides
My workflow would be so much quicker if when you draw a box or shape, you could hit a command that creates auto guides vertically and horizontal centrally to just that box.

Properties panel displays useless duplicate options when More Options is clicked
In properties palette, when an object is selected, click on the ... on the right side of the first section AKA More OPTIONS displays the exact same thing that is already in the top section WITH the addition of the Scale corners and strokes, etc. What is the world is that for? Why not just have the OPTIONS to be the scale part and like the NORMAL palettes "More Options" they could be available all the time or collapsed.
