Increase MORE +++ the anchors points size. The actual option is not ENOUGH Is very difficult to work..
The actual size options seems a joke, I work with 3ds max, and there you can select very easy the vectors points, in illustrator it is a Nightmare.

SET OVERPRINT TO GROUPS OF DIFFERENT OBJECTS
Second Time i have to adress this, Grouped objects, Set the group to over print, yet some of hte objects do not accept this setting as a group , only by ungrouping the mixed objects i can achieve a safe overprint setting, no other version before this one had this ERROR and its in fact dangerous to my worl as a finished artist when i can not trust my software to do what i set it to do.
Please fix this once & for all
Example, group various objects (excluding stroke) type box, vector objects of various sizes and shapes…

Multiple Fills/Strokes in Properties Pallate
It would be helpful if the "appearance" part of the properties panel would allow the addition of multiple fills and strokes like you can in the standalone appearance panel. I would like to use the properties panel more but cannot for this reason.

Warn if Appearance Attributes are going to be lost (when ungrouping, etc.)
Because there's a lot of people that don't know what's going on.

shortcut for fidelity
Hi there. I use illustrator for my digital whiteboard animation / videoscribe. It all works well. but I like to switch from low to high fidelity depending if I am drawing characters, or buildings or inanimate objects.
I think a short cut key to put it up and down would be really useful.1 vote -

AI needs to be able to keep up with AE and CA, when I make a puppet for those apps in AI, AI becomes overwhelmed and hopelessly slow. It needs to be much more powerful so my workflow is reasonable. Also if I have to rasterize everything to help these apps handle the burden, there should be an undo button for rasterized bits for editing purposes. But there's a huge…1 vote -
Add option when creating New View to opt out from changing zoom level
The custom Views is a godsend for complex artwork, but sometimes it would be nice to keep the zoom level and toggle only the Layers settings (visibility, lock status, etc). So either an option when saving the custom View, or a program-wide preference setting would be highly appreciated. In this way, the request for a layer visibility toggle shortcut could also be partially addressed.

Add "Sort Libraries" feature to the library palette
Assets in Libraries can be sorted (e.g. "by date" or "by name") - but if you manage (and share) several libraries, they cannot be sorted.
On the cloud web front end libraries CAN be sorted, but this sorting will not be updated in the application palettes.
For clarity reasons, this feature should be included ASAP.

Show all tabs when switching to fullscreen mode
When switching to Full Screen Mode I can only see the document I'm working with. Why not show all the open documents like tabs?
I don't understand why the tabs disappear just because I'm switching to fullscreen.

Illustrator or Photoshop for digital drawing??
I am a digital artist. I didn't see a thread about difference between this two software , and it seemed like no one has given their impressions on this oftware so I wanted to put together something quick to kickstart a discussion or something.
Illustrator is a vector based application and Photoshop is an image editor. That means Photoshop works with pixels and Illustrator does not. Illustrator drawings can be scaled and printed at any size without loss of image quality. The lines are very clean and sharp, which is great for logo design and illustration. Photoshop drawings can be…

Toolbar size
Hi, any chance of being able to have an option of a shorter version of the Tools palette. When I have it set to single column using a 15" MacBook this runs off the bottom of the screen. I know I could set it to double column but I like to have a maximum working area. Just a thought…

Display the Shape parameters in toolbar regardless of display resolution or monitor size. My 15" MBP does not show H and W 27"iMac does
My 15" Macbook Pro does not show H and W when a shape is selected. My 27" iMac does. There is enough space to show these parameters so why are they a drop down in that size display?
I also work in Windows 10 but its a 27" monitor & they are displayed.1 vote -

Select multiple bulllets
Used to be able to select multiple bullets by (I think it was) shift/opt/dragging on the multiple bullets. This isn't available int 22.1 version. Actually, it hasn't been for awhile. Can't understand ditching this. For drawing complex objects with multiple similar strokes (say for instance, the hairs on a dog) one can't "select same". Also difficult to select the whole layer, and then unselect. Please, please, please! Bring back this feature! WHY would you disable it anyhow???

Metadata on ASE
For me and many designers, color is an asset with information associated with it that I need to follow this asset as it moves from different design programs. With metadata attached to file, I would be able to utilize the features in InDesign and other programs to auto populate this information into text fields. Additionally if this metadata ASE file was a library shared between many users and the any of the tagged information on a color was changed, this update would shoot out to any documents using this color. It would reduce:

Blend shapes or lines along a curved path, like a "spline".
Type can be arranged along a custom curved path. Why not blends? As it is now, if I want to arrange repeating vertical lines along a curved horizontal path, I have to: create the blend in a straight line, then: line by line, go along the blend cutting off bits to match the curved horizontal baseline. I can make it look decent, but it takes quite a while.
1 voteAs per the comment, you can replace the spline in a blend via Object > Blend > Replace Spline, if you have a blend and a new spline path selected together.

change stroke color of custom brush
I've downloaded a few custom brushes & their colors don't change. They're black, that's it, no matter what stroke color I choose in the palette. I don't like having to expand their appearance just to change their color. In a few projects that I'm working on, I want to be able to try a few different brushes in the color that I like (and be able to change that color, too) + at any point that I wish to change that brush again in the future & maintain that color. You get it. Hoping this is a simple thing the…
1 voteA brush can be customized to maintain the chosen color in several ways, including None (to keep the original color set in the brush), Tints, Tints And Shades, and He Shift.

bug: Screen turns black after choosing width tool
In between bugs I still try to make something in Illustrator, and now this happened:
- I hit Shift + W on the keyboard to select the width tool.
- Instead of the width tool cursor, the cursor became a black rectangle.
- I noticed both the Selection tool and width tool were selected in the tools window.
- I dicided to click on an Anchor anyway, and the screen turned black. The video signal went off, monitor went on standby. The HDD/SSD light on the PC was flashing nonstop. PC did not respond to anyting (I think, but I could not see because…
