  4. Blurry text on dialogue prompts (such as Export)

    On the prompts that have the options for "Use Artboards", the text is blurry.

  5. "

    So... who would EVER prefer that this code " appear instead of the " ? Please update your software to make " appear as " when copy-pasted.

  6. Layer name suffix when pasting in XD (behaviour changed in 2020)

    1. Description:

    When I copy and paste vectors from Illustrator 2020 to Adobe XD, suffix "1" is being added to each later.

    This doesn't happen when I copy from Illustrator 2019 so I assume this have benn changed in Illustrator 2020, not XD.

    1. Why is this valuable to you?

    I create all my icons in Illustrator but keep them in huge XD file so that devs can easily get them as SVGs.

    With this additional suffix, my workflow is slower as I have to remove them each time I add new icon to XD file.

  7. An ability to lock fills/strokes separately, and an automated clipping

    One idea makes creating fun and the second easier.
    Can we please be able to lock fills and strokes separately and also make clipping easier and automatic depending on what you have selected perhaps with a key command.

  8. Carry decimals in the Artboard Size to ten thousandths

    Carry decimals in the Artboard Size to ten thousandths so it matches the Transform palette. Right now you can only view the accurate Artboard size in the Document Info palette.

  9. Fix fonts in the symbol library

    When a custom-made symbol uses a font, the symbol is expanded and the fonts are eventually outlined, the fonts still show in the “Find Font” menu even know there is no editable text in the document.

  10. Fix Black Overprints

    Fix the appearance of black overprint so that other colors are visible under solid black when overprint preview is on (unless I'm missing something, this used to work in older versions).

  11. Nodal Interface for Actions Creation

    Similar to 3DCC software and video compositing software, I would like to see a nodal interface where we could add different menu items and specific actions into a tree and have them end in an output node, allowing reuse of specific actions and menu items within the tree in a single action.

    I'd also recommend there to be a way to group some of the nodes and be reusable/ able to add them into other action node trees as subgroups. That way some very complicated actions could be recycled instead of always being recreated from scratch.

    I have been making…

  12. Renaming Slices for Easier Export

    Since slices allow us to optimize to a set file size, we use sliced artboards at work to quickly create/export jpegs for the Google Display Network and for our sites. We've made the process pretty seamless with solid templates, but the only thing we haven't figured out how to do is rename the slices. The default is FileNameSliceNumber, but that slice number doesn't help us see the dimensions at a glance. If in our template we could rename slice "04" to "728x90" or whatever custom descriptor was necessary, we wouldn't need to manually change the slice name when…

  14. Improve resolution of dock panels so they're the same as other Adobe apps

    The resolution of the dock panels (Layers, Art boards, Character etc) are all a lot bigger than in other Adobe apps, please make these the same size as the other apps.
    I have a second screen with all relevant dock panels opened. If they were the same resolution as PS/ID then more could fit on the screen.

  15. Gradient Eye Dropper click and drag to analyze the colors under the length of a vector

    if i drag my cursor across an image the illustrator program should be able to make an assessment of the various properties of color under the path that was drawn.

    this could easily be turned into a pallet with relational distance parameters and a cool gradient tool with a number of samples resolution feature to adjust the density of changes across the gradient would be very welcome in our illustrator tool set.

  16. Closing project "x" positioning

    Please put the "x" on the project tab either on the left of the, or make all tab widths the same width. This would be valuable because if I want to close multiple open projects, I wouldn't have to jump around with my mouse to try and catch the "x".

  17. Batch File Processing to PDF (Non-Illustrator Default Like PDF-x4)

    In Photoshop, you have the option to File > Scripts > Image Processor — from there, you can then take a PSD File and batch through a folder of files and change them to a JPEG, PSD, or TIFF while simultaneously running an action through them.

    I propose that we introduce something like photoshops Image Processor where in illustrator you can select File > Scripts > File Processor where you have the option to change an entire folder of AI files into PDF's, SVG's, or EPS's.

    Once you click "Run" (like you would in photoshop) it would batch through an…

  20. An option so anchor points within a user specified proximity of the selected anchor point will move relative to it.

    So many times have I found a need for an option like this. An option where you would be able to move an anchor point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it.

    Some complex vector images with lots of anchor points can be hard to reshape, whereas, instead of moving every single anchor point to expand a section or redoing it, you would select a single point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it's position.
