Save PDF and rasterize one layer
It will be great if we can choose some layers to be auto rasterized when exporting to pdf. I keep very complex paterns in a different layer and always need to manually rasterize it to get a light pdf and error free on Rip software.

The new behavior of art being clipped when it goes over the artboard bounding edge an option to turn on or off in preferences
The clipped art over an artboard edge should be an option to turn on and off. Some users do not want this behavior all the time and if it were a preference, the user can control when it should get clipped.

Please provide an option to disable the brush size preview circle
Please provide an option to disable the brush size preview circle (the little circle that appears under your cursor whether you are using the mini paintbrush or the precise (crosshairs) cursor.
I want to use illustrator for screen casting, and while most screen capture software can hide the cursor, they do not recognize the little circle as part of the cursor so it shows up in videos when you'd rather just have drawings appear.

Let us customize what shortcuts are in the right click popup panel
Allow users to select what shortcuts or tools, actions, etc... appear in the default Right click popup panel.
The same way we can choose which tools show in which docks i believe it would improve productivity speed tremendously for users using mice or devices that either have awkward or no hot key peripherals. eg a a laptop or wireless keyboard that has strange key arrangements. non cintiq users ... even cintiq users could benefit... esp. mobile users in tight places where you can't fold out wireless shortcut devices like on trains and planes, buses, cars etc...
It started with me…

CreativeCloud history backup for lost files.
What if we have a Cloud history for any step we make in Adobe products to backup if we lost the file or don't save in accident? like Time Machine. I want to revive lost updates that I didn't save.

Hide Grid on Perspective Tool
The "hide grid" function is so frustrating to select. Can it be larger or the target area around it be bigger?

Custom background color for tool windows
Currently working with dual monitors, one monitor has most of my tool windows.
If I am using one window of tools most of the time, it would be nice to set the base color to orange so I can spot it easier. Or even group windows that are similar to say green, and rarely used windows would remain grey.2 votes -
SVG export: Universally-unique class names for internal CSS or option for prefix token.
AI's auto-generated class names are only file-unique. Collisions occur if different exported svgs are inlined in the same container (html) document. This prevents a primary way of using SVGs on the web.
Suggest an option (or default behavior) where class names are universally unique, or where a file-name or user chosen token is prepended to classnames.

矢印ツールとは別に「移動モード」を。
オブジェクト選択後、特定のキーを押すことで「移動モード」に移行するようにしてほしい。
複数のオブジェクトを選択し、それらを同時に移動させようとした場合、任意のオブジェクトを全て選択した後、最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを正確にクリックしてドラッグする流れになるが、この最後にいずれかのオブジェクトを選択する際に誤ってオブジェクト以外をクリックしてしまうと、今までのShiftを押しながら沢山選択してきた作業が水の泡になる。
移動モードに移行すると、選択したオブジェクト以外を選択しても選択が解除されることはなく、心ゆくまで正確に移動を行った後、決定ボタンなりダブルクリックなりで移動モードは解除される。
現在の編集モードの選択したオブジェクト限定版という動きにしても良いかもしれない。
選択したオブジェクトの精密な移動方法としてこの「移動モード」の実装を強く要望します。

Keyboard command for "Find and Replace" Text or ability to add a Keyboard Shortcut.
In Adobe Illustrator: Why is there not a keyboard command to bring up the "Find and Replace" dialog box or the ability to add your own Keyboard Shortcut to do this?

It would be helpful if you made allowable suggestions, such as, " paint in clipping paths not allowed, convert to paint group now."<
If you're not going to make your paint feature natural or useful, then you could provide allowable suggestions. Suggestions such as, " Paint in clipping paths not allowed, convert to paint group now," then you would click yes or no to convert. Instead, you have created an information loop Where your customers have a problem, you acknowledge the problem, and send your customers on their way to find their own solutions to solve that problem. A problem you have created in the first place. This would be a very helpful feature for you to add.

Dotted lines
Could not find a good way to reach a simple final goal, also asked to support with little results: would be nice to draw dotted lines with brush tool.
Just simple ones as I can do in Photoshop, I'd love to do that in Illustrator too.
Sounds weird it is not already doable!

Gradient annotator as a palette and snap to gradient points
Allows you to then retain the annotator when dragging guides or other objects, and using other tools. Could work in a similar way to the Tabs palette.
Also it would be really useful if you could snap objects or guides to the gradient points on the sliders.

Possibility of recording "key object" by action
It would be great to have possibility to record in action "key objects", because it's very hard to do an alignment between objects by actions without this one especially if you want align to the edge of objects.

Shape fill colour and path not aligned in GPU view
When GPU view is turned on (which is often necessary as Illustrator now runs so slowly in CPU), the fill colour of objects isn't completely aligned to the path. This makes it extremely difficult when working with anchors. It is only an appearance issue and is resolved when you switch to CPU view, however could this be resolved in GPU?

Play actions in Button mode
If it would be possible to add a shortcut, or a way, to press "Play" button in action tab, from button mode.
Having multiple actions is easier to handle in button mode, but it is unable to use more complicated actions for example with stops, because there is no play, and way to adjust shortcut for it, so you need to be in standard mode.2 votes -
