Illustrator Zeichenflächen
Es wäre wünschenswert, mehrere Zeichenflächen gleichzeitig markieren zu können. Außerdem mehrere ausgewählte zeichenflächen gleichzeitig verschieben zu können oder über das Ausrichten Werkzeug oder Koordinaten organisieren zu können.

An option for the pen tool to behave like Photoshop
As a Photoshop user most of the time, I would find it would be much easier to have bezier curve anchors not delete themselves when closing a path or reselecting a path. It would also be great if nudging points with the arrow keys would not interrupt and unselect the current path.
Some preference to toggle these behaviors would be fantastic!

Allow to change transparency/opacity with digit (number) keys, as in Photoshop
Photoshop allows us to start typing numbers and thus change the opacity for the selected layers. If we are fast enough, we can type something like '57' and Ps takes it as 57%. Pressing zero makes it 100%.
There is no way to disable this in Ps... and it doesn’t allow to use digits keys for any other command or a tool.
Ai allows to map digits just fine (and 1 and 2 are used for Quick Pen Tool currently), and it also allows to map keys to opacity values in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools — although these are not…

Add a quick way to toggle the alignment of a stoke (Center, Inside, Outside): with Opt/Alt-click and/or a hotkey
There are many modes, states, values in Ai that require precise clicking in a tiny button or a field to toggle or change. We need faster ways to access these.
A keyboard shortcut to quickly toggle how the current stroke is aligned would be nice to have... for those who prefer clicking, Opt/Alt could be added to avoid precise aiming, just to loop through the modes.

It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide
It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide. For example, you can think of it like in the Powerpoint application. Let's randomly add the content we have to a page and let it show us a few random design examples. It doesn't have to be perfect, it could just be at an idea level, maybe?

Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel
I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.

An ability to select objects only within the marquee, as in CorelDRAW
Is it possible to select items in a way similar to CorelDRAW, where only those within the selection box are selected, and those that touch the selection box but are not enclosed by it are not selected, even if they touch the box? I hope there can be an additional selection option for this.
0 votesRecent versions of Illustrator now offer the Enclosed mode we can toggle while using the selection marquee.
It was requested here originally, and is still quite raw, but can help in some cases. Please follow the comment thread there for more solutions.

Automatically name artboards based on the file name
Can we have a feature like, when creating a new artboard, the artboard named automatically as per the file name rather than naming it a default - Artboard number.

File sync with Synology drive buggy
When I'm saving an Illustrator doc to a Synology Drive folder it almost always says, that the file has been changed outside of Illustrator which it hasn't. Finally after saving and closing it, it hasn't synced with the Synology NAS and I have to manually tell it to upload.
This only happens with Illustrator and Illustrator files. All other programs handle it well. It's seems that there is a proplem with Illustrator and the file provider API from Apple, judging on reports from others with different file provider services.

Can Dimension tool measure angles for open intersecting paths?
I'm finding it frustrating that it appears that the Dimension tool will not give me angles from open shapes, i.e. 2 intersecting lines.

Eyedropper tool to be added to Contextual Task Bar for any object

Add a button to Character panel to enable Snap to Glyph right there
Character panel has Snap to Glyph section, with buttons to toggle different sub-options. But all of these are disabled unless we toggle the main View > Snap to Glyph option.
But...
1. The panel doesn’t tell you this
2. The 'Snap to specific glyph' button is not a button but an hover hint area (a rather small one, and it blinks hysterically, at least on Windows)
3. The panel just doesn’t have the button to enable the main optionWHY? What was the reason to allow to toggle sub-options but permit to enable toggling them?

Integrate with AEM to enable linking assets without having to work with them locally
By using Adobe Experience Manager as a DAM and having to work locally with links in Illustrator the user experience is awful. We need to download the folder from the DAM and then work on the file and links knowing that the next person to work on that will need to to the same, it's very time consuming for our team

Generate a full calendar design with a text prompt from a custom template
I think this will be the next level of GenAI
The idea is to generate text using AI recognition from the customized template and add multiple artboards with Gen AI.For example:
If we have a calendar design for January 2025 with editable text.
We input the prompt like "generate remaining months of 2025"
The GenAI feature should recognize the template, colors, and text within.
The GenAI should make additional artboards with the remaining months and accurate data keeping the template and the colors consistent.1 vote -
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 —…
