  1. Edit multiple identical objects real-time

    Hello!
    Would be cool to have a feature where for example when editing 2 identical objects, you can convert one object into main object and other into "mirrored" one through layer system/window and then mirrored one will show same changes real-time whenever I'm editing the main one. Afterwards when turning off the feature, all the "mirrored" ones turn into seperate objects (as if rasterized).
    This would be a game changer when I'm editing text that is turned into object and I want same edits to be applied to all other identical letters.

  3. We need separate snap options for Artboards vs Objects

    Currently, 'Snap to Pixel' affects both the artboards and objects on them.

    However, there are some issues with this:

    • Artboards can snap to .5 pixels. It's VITAL to snap artboards to pixel as the 'Export for Screens' will add extra unwanted pixels otherwise.

    • Objects can snap to the whole pixel, not the half pixel.

    • While snap to pixel for artboards is vital for certain features not to break, pixel snapping for objects is not.

    The solution? There should be an Artboard snapping option, separate to the one that affects all objects.

  6. export non-printing layers so they are visible in a PDF

    I believe this used to not be a problem, but now when I have a layer set to not print, it is not visible in a PDF. I have to toggle the layer on in Acrobat in order to see it, but this does not work for my needs.

    I want to make non-printing layers automatically visible when saving as a PDF.

  7. Atomic Design workflow between Illustrator, Figma/XD and Dreamweaver.

    Create a workflow between Illustrator, Figma/Adobe XD and Dreamweaver to easily implement Atomic Design systems. In Illustrator, the user should be able to create atoms, molecules, organisms, templates, and pages of a design system that can be opened in Figma/Adobe XD and Dreamweaver too, to speed up prototyping and development.

    This workflow should create CSS, classes etc from the Illustrator file on. The changes in Illustrator or Figma/XD should propagate to Illustrator and Dreamweaver.

    For example, if I design a main button in Illustrator, when I open the file in Figma/XD, it is already a button there too, with the…

  8. Add an optional alert sound

    I would like to have an option to enable an alert sound whenever I nudge or move an object in Illustrator. This would help me avoid accidental movements that can ruin my design or cause alignment issues. Sometimes I don’t notice that I have moved an object slightly when I click on it, and it can be very frustrating and time-consuming to fix it later.

  9. Duplicate & Distribute Objects

    An automated option to duplicate an object (or multiple objects) on an entire artboard.
    You could edit the space between the objects on the X and the Y axis.
    it would be super awesome if it would center multiple layers or objects before duplicating them. this thing could help the entire printing industry.

  12. The large print documents do not give the option of exporting the artwork to dxf or dwg format.

    Whenever I work on large print documents, I do not have the option to export it to dwg format. I have to re-size the artwork and the copy and paste it into a normal A4 size document and then export the artwork in dwg file. And after I open the file in cad, I have to re-size it again to actual scale.

    However when I export, I have an option to exporting the artwork in 1:100 or 1:500, but I don't have the habit of working with scales and it feels inconvenient.

  13. Select tools via the ' All Tools ' palette

    I use a huge display, so I would like to show all tools at once.
    But in the mean time, I would like to be able to choose a tool via the 'All Tools' palette.

  14. Keep link when placing DXF/DWG file

    Hi,

    Could it be possible to keep the link to the original file when placing a DXF or a DWG in Illustrator?
    The goal is to be able to update the view if the external file change...
    having the geometry active like it's done for text glyph in order to be able to snap to geometry could be the cherry on the cake.

    Many thanks

  15. include additional information in the XMP metadata to indicate image status (linked or embedded)

    request to include additional information in XMP metadata that could give an indication of an image's status. Help designate if image is linked or embedded. Currently there is no distinction in the XMP metadata.

  16. Separate the Icons for stroke and fill.

    Why does the adobe illustrator swatch palette overlap the stroke and fill? Why would they not separate this so we dont have to pick so carefully to access the color we want? What is the point of this? Is there some option to change the appearance of the swatch palette? I find this cumbersome and unnecessary.

  17. create outlines into groups

    It would help my pre production workflow a lot if it was possible to automatically create "separated" groups from text objects when I use create outlines on big chunk of text. For now one text block equals one object. It could be a function allowing me to produce single groups for every line shift for example.

  19. American's with Disabilities Act Request for Adobe iOS/Desktop apps Google Play

    As much as Katerina (our autistic artist) loves your apps, she has made it clear that she needs Adobe to migrate the apps for iOS/Desktop to android due to how her disabilities impact her life. We are forever grateful to Adobe for giving Katerina the ability to focus on creativity instead of her disabilities however, not having the same ability to create on Illustrator has decreased our productivity. Katerina has informed us to place an American's with Disabilities Act Request which deals strictly with access. Thanks again for creating programs which give Katerina a way to show the world what…

  20. Color differents problem

    I have a problem with big color's preference difference between my AI monitor and real color on my and other machines. It's also concerning all the colors.
    I choose the red color and I get the brick color otherwise. Really in image and PDF file, I see the red color indeed.
    It's very serious problem for me, because I cann't know what the color I use to.
