Combining Ai files into one as we can do with PDF
Some time we need to combine separate files into one for sending to customer or for printing. Idea is to combine separate ai files into one as we can do with Pdf.

Auto extension saving
Since 90% of the time, you need to rename or edit a title. It would be a time saver if you could name as well select the correct format directly from the "save as" selection name field. ex: You type image1.png, Then the "format" would automatically change itself to the correct "PNG" format (so you don't need to do that as well). Of course, this would be on all.
Thank you

You can improve by making it possible to move many files at once form CCLibrary to CCFiles folder. (Now 1 by 1).
Please make it possible to move all files at once from the Creative Cloud Libraries to the Creative Cloud Files folder. I have made lots of great patterns today with Adobe Capture, when you save them you'll find them in your Library but then I wanted to copy them so I also can work with the files offline (from the CCF folder I can export them to my external HDD) with PS and/or Ai. Now I have found out you must copy them one by one...Only made 45 patterns today...and over time I might create thousands....but not if I have…

Adobe Illustrator User Interface Auto Rotation
Wacom Computers, MS Surface, and I'm super several others can use windows auto rotation feature. Photoshop works fine with it, but Adobe Illustrator (even in touch workspace) just doesn't want to rotate the UI to portrait mode for some reason.
It wouldn't be that horrible, or there was at least a manual button to rotate the user interface... But even that doesn't exist.
Please, please, please add UI auto rotation to Adobe Illustrator.1 vote -
transform again tool glitch
In Adobe Illustrator, I use the transform again tool a lot during my day to day and seemingly recently, it hasn’t been affecting live or outlined type* when it will affect any other regular object. Has anyone come across this on their own or know how to fix it? It will continue to transform the text if you scale up or down as well repeating moves but when scaling objects to certain sizes using the guides and then replicating the same growth on the text object doesn’t work.
I’ve tried ungrouping, releasing the compound path, tried intersecting the shapes, the…

Make it easier to use the color in paint bucket. it defaults to greyscale and hard to find way out of that. it should just be intuitive.
JUST MAKE IT EASY TO USE
I just want to get things done quick. why will an image we import to vectorize automatically be greyscale? AND WHY DO YOU MAKE IT HARD TO FIND HOW TO GET COLOR IN THERE??????
old forum articles are obsolete, so why not just make it easier to use in the first place

Drag and snap by specific point
Sometimes I want to drag a specific point of a path and move it to another specific part of another path but Illustrator makes it difficult to do it precisely. I wish it was easier to do that without having to create more anchor points.

In the "Export for Web" menu, i feel a .ai option would be cool
I'd love to be able to export all at once:
png
jpg
psd
svg
and ai, without having to use seperate menus, this'd be awesome as it'd save me alot of time1 vote -
colour changing options
Hi, I was wondering if there is anything I can set up in illustrator so I can... type a sentence and each letter in the sentence be one of 6 different colours so if it was to say... Mrs Barrington the letters would be
M- red
r - yellow
s - green
b - pink
a - purple
r - orange ...etcI have looked on google several times and can't see anything saying it already has this capability? At present, I use the eyedropper to change each individual letter!

Allow snapping to objects that are masked out and also make opacity mask objects visible in outline mode
For example, if you draw a large box and place it completely inside a small box so that all four corners of the larger box are masked out, then try to drag a guide it will only snap to the smaller clipping mask, the guides wont snap to the larger box unless you hide or release the clipping mask. Also, as an additional feature I think it would be of benefit if when inside the opacity mask, when you go to outline mode you could then see the objects within the mask.

Blob brush ability to do smaller size and make it more interactive.
I often need a blob that is smaller than 1 point. The ability to go smaller would be wonderful!
I use it a lot to "paint" wispy caligraphic lines.
I often use the bursh with equal width and height because any other setting slows me down as I change the angle I "paint in". If there was a way to interact without going back to the dialogue box it would be more efficient. It is slow and "clunky" otherwise.

A polygon option for a Pen Tool
Recently I've noticed that I'm missing one option – switching off the Bezier anchors by the pen tool. I would like to draw a continuously (joined) straight line, without accidentally changing it into a bezier curve. While drawing fast with a Wacom pen or with a mouse, it's easy to move the cursor before jumping to the next place and thereby, by accident pull the Bezier handle and proceeding a curve. I use Affinity Designer on iPad and there exists an option for the pen tool – a polygon. I'm looking for something similar that in Illustrator.
I woud be…

<critical bug> can open same file. that means lose data anytime.
This is critical bug and cause my job lost many times. When I using illustrator with unsaved, I can open same file . That means I can lose the data. I remember there were alert if I open same file or can not open for old version.
For example, Photoshop can not open same file if I use the data. So photoshop does cover this issue. Please fix this bug asap !! Thank1 vote -
Join end point to path
I am a student at university, and I need to be able to join end points to paths without having the enter the live paint. This would give higher editing capability, and allows me to keep the stylized stroke options like calligraphy.

Text block with paragraph styling
I dream for text block with automaticaly applied paragraph styling to every text in it. If you have linked text blocks, each with its own style, you can put text from a database or a worksheet and avoid formatting each row individually. Present sheet with business cards where name, address, job, etc. are linked to text boxes and you put in them data from excel. You have to format each item in the style. If the blocks carry the style of the text, it is enough to make sure each text is in its box.
